A/N: I'm terribly sorry that I'm not updating lately, but I am a bit unwell. I will try to write more.
Seven
Souta was cleaning the well-house. He had to sweep the floor, get rid of the spider webs and dust. He wasn't too keen on doing spring cleaning, but at least now he didn't fear this dark place. He was a big boy now and for cleaning in the well-house he was going to get some good food.
Suddenly an eerie light filled the small space and a sense of dread seeped into Souta's heart when he looked towards the old dry well in the center of the room. There was something slowly climbing up the dark shaft. An aura of thick agitation and disapproval was pressing on onto the boy, who flattened himself against a walk, unable to flee, his wide eyes focused on the rim of the well in fearful anticipation.
Whatever was making that grunting noise was going to be pretty nasty.
Then the stench of stale water and rotten eggs almost made him gag. Souta covered his mouth with a sleeve, just like Inuyasha would, but he was still unable to run out. What would happen if he had his back turned on the well when the monster emerged?
When the light subsided there was only dim light from the half-closed door to illuminate the room, which was terrifying because Souta knew that the monster would easily spot him in his bright clothing. And there was no place to hide.
He almost whined when a head of black hair appeared over the edge of the well. The hair was tangled and hung in wet, mud-coated ropes. Souta watched in terror as the monster slowly made out of the well, bloodthirsty eyes sweeping around the room.
"Seven days," the terrible monster in shape of a thin girl in dirty, torn yukata, that had once been pale pink, but now had stains of various colors on it. The voice was low and dangerous, like a challenge.
"Fuck no, wench! You said you'd be gone for three!" came a more familiar, albeit also challenging voice from inside the well.
"That was before the youkai attacked and you blasted it to pieces over our heads," growled the girl.
"Feh! Would you prefer I let it eat you?" yelled the male voice from inside the well.
"Osuwari!" yelled the girl without even looking inside the well to see the downed hanyou cursing inside. She passed by the trembling b
boy under a wall and went to take a bath.
