A/N: Hi everyone! I'm sorry the last chapter was short and so is this one. I know I asked for at least three reviews, and I got none, but I need to update it. I may not be an awesome writer, but I'm still trying my best. Please R&R! I also want some criticism and I don't care how harsh it is, please!


Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha...I can always dream though, can't I?

Chapter 2: Down the Well

"Wake up Souta!" Kagome yelled up the stairs.

Kagome had been calling Souta down for fifteen minutes, but he wouldn't reply each time she called him. Finally Kagome decided it was time to march up there and drag him out of his bed. When Kagome opened the door to Souta's room, she saw Souta curled up with his backpack full of his belongings next to him. He held it in his arms like it was a stuffed animal. Kagome giggled and began to poke his head. Souta stirred slightly, but that was all. Kagome lowered her mouth next to his ear.

"SOUTA!" Kagome yelled.

"Ahhhh!" Souta jumped up astonishment.

"There we go!" Kagome said smiling, "Don't forget to brush your teeth, and are you sure you have everything?"

Souta nodded sleepily and as soon as Kagome left the room he got up and got dressed. He brushed his teeth like he was told to and went downstairs expecting breakfast. His stomach growled from hunger, but he saw no breakfast. Souta looked at the time, it was six o' clock and Miss Higurashi usually woke up at this time. Why wasn't she awake? Souta sighed and looked for his sister who was in the kitchen. Kagome was stocking up on food such as ramen and her medical supplies were all covered.

"I'm hungry..." Souta said.

"I told mom to sleep in if she wanted, but she left you a little something in the fridge because you were too excited last night to finish your dinner." Kagome replied.

Souta grinned. Miss Higurashi was always very thoughtful. He opened up the refrigerator and stuck his head into it. The cool air was soothing and he wanted to keep his head in there but instead he pulled out something wrapped in aluminum foil. Two small pancakes were enveloped inside the aluminum foul. Souta didn't care, hot or cold. He was hungry, so he ate them as they were because he knew it was time to go and he was so excited. Before Souta left the house he gave his mom a kiss on the cheek while she was still asleep.

"Kagome, do you think I'll be able to pass through? Remember last time I tried, I couldn't." Souta said.

"Don't worry, all you have to do is hold my hand and you'll go right through!" Kagome said confidently.

"Are you sure? InuYasha always just comes through by himself, and he never holds your hand to pass." Souta stated.

Kagome turned a light shade of pink at the thought of her and InuYasha holding hands. She shook the idea out of her head and turned to Souta to answer his question.

"That's because of his necklace; it has some sort of connection to me." Kagome answered, "Are you ready now?"

Souta squeezed Kagome's hand tightly and nodded. He was excited and frightened at the same time. Who wouldn't be afraid? Souta knew they were going to enter a world with demons lurking the place for human flesh. This sent shivers up his spine. Souta took a deep breath before he jumped into the Bone-Eaters well with Kagome, then they jumped. There was a burst of purple light and Kagome and Souta were now floating in an odd seemed as though they were floating through the universe. It worked! Souta was going to the other side of the well with Kagome.

Souta was enjoying the flight to the Feudal Era. Suddenly he was standing in a dark place on soil. It was time to climb out, and the sunlight was as strong as ever peeping into the well.

"Can you climb by yourself?" Kagome asked.

Souta nodded.

When they reached the top of the well, InuYasha was leaned against the well, sleeping.

"InuYasha…InuYasha…INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled.

"Ahhhh!" InuYasha fell back and bumped his head on the well.

"What the hell was that for?!" InuYasha yelled.

"Kagome has a habit of doing that." Souta butted in.

InuYasha turned around. This voice was very familiar. He knew it from somewhere, but who was it?

"The twerp is here with us?!" InuYasha yelled.

"I'm sorry he just had to come along with me. He begged and it was so hard to turn him down. HE'll be safe here won't he? I mean you're around, so it should be okay!" Kagome said.

"Yeah, yeah, how long is he staying?"

"The whole summer," Kagome replied with an innocent smile.

"What!?" InuYasha yelled, "this has to be some kind of joke?!"

"Oh, please InuYasha, I won't get into any trouble. Please let me stay?" Souta pleaded.

InuYasha crossed his arms, "...Fine, but one bother, and you're going right back down that well."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Souta shouted happily.

"Yeah, yeah..." InuYasha muttered.

Kagome hopped on InuYasha's back. Souta hesitantly did the same. Then InuYasha dashed off at his incredible speed. In a matter of minutes they were in the village that they were staying in for the night in Kaede's hut. Souta hopped off of InuYasha and looked around. The village had lights hanging all around, and it must have been because of the upcoming festival.

"They're setting up for the Firefly Festival already?!" Kagome said excitedly.

"It looks like it." Souta said.

InuYasha was already inside the hut motioning for Kagome and Souta to enter.

"Well, it's time to meet the gang Souta." Kagome said.

Souta nodded with a smile. He was going to like it here. Little did he know that he wouldn't want to go back home.
