The Beginning – Chapter 3

"Ahhhhhh!!!" Two pairs of screams suddenly broke the tranquil silence around the Bone Eaters well. A few miles away a small tornado stopped spinning and from its depths came a young wolf demon. He scented the air and frowned.

'It almost smells like Kagome but…. It's different. I'm going to find out what it is'

"Ginta, Hakkaku, I'm going ahead, catch up when you can!" he called as he swirled off again. His two underlings were left with the rest of the panting wolves. Again. They looked at each other and sighed.

_____ Back at the welll _____

"AHHHHHH-OOF!!" The screams were cut of as the two beings hit the ground. They both groaned in pain.

"Ow, I'm definitely feeling that tomorrow, ah" Aurora moaned. The tiny wolf beside her whined in agreement.

I think we're feeling that now, he whimpered. The girl slowly got up and stared up at the blue sky that wasn't there before…

"Uhhh, K-k-kamui?"

Yes, Master?

"I shouldn't be seeing the sky…"

Why not?

"We were in a building…with no skylight"

Oh…

"Yeah…"

_______ Just outside the well…________

The winds picked up for a slight moment before the wolf demon stopped in the small clearing. There was nothing immediately startling about this certain clearing. The only difference from every other one in Japan was the presence of a well. Even this would not alarm the passerby but there was a voice coming from it as well. The demon slowly crept up to the well and could hear more distinct words.

"….Shouldn't be seeing the sky…" There was a small whimper that sounded like those domesticated beasts that humans kept around them.

"We were in a building…" 'We? What the hell is the woman talking about? She is the only one I could smell within miles.' "…with no skylight" 'What is a skylight? That's it, I'm finding out what the hell is going on' He stood up and stuck his head over the edge. The woman gasped but he could see no specific features as she was in the shadows.

"What are ya' doing in there, woman? And who're ya' talking to?"

"What are ya' doing in there, woman? And who're ya' talking to?"

A shape that looked vaguely like a head popped over the side of the well. She couldn't see exactly who it was as the sun was behind them. She gasped in surprise. She kept silent until the stranger made his presence known again.

"Hey, woman, can ya' hear me?" He called down. She shook her head to clear it and responded.

"Yeah, I can hear you!" She called.

"Well, what are ya' doing in there?" he asked again in a slightly gravelly voice. Aurora liked its sound immediately.

"Well, we…fell….in?" She almost asked her companion. Kamui shrugged in uncertainty.

"Well, what did ya' do that for, stupid?" The voice asked in genuine confusion. Aurora changed her mind about him having a sexy voice.

"We didn't mean to do it, moron!" She yelled with indignity. She heard a sputter from above and what seemed like growling a second later and suddenly, the man belonging to the voice appeared in front of her. She quickly glanced over him as he sized up her and was quite pleasantly surprised.

'Wow, he's really hot! But…' She glanced lower. '…Is he wearing a skirt?!' she thought in disbelief. Her eyes were dragged back up as he opened up his perfect lips and spoke with that amazingly sexy voice…

"Who're you calling a moron?! I'm not the one who fell in a well in the middle of a clearing at midday!!!" He yelled at her as he leaned forward to try and intimidate her. Her perfectly shaped eyebrows furrowed in anger as it slowly dawned on her what he had said. Her plump, exquisite lips puckered and pursed in a familiar scowl.... The demon froze as he saw her face.

'Ohhhhhhh no…..I recognize that face….' He thought in terror as his eyes widened. She clenched her fists in silent fury as she gulped in a big breath of air and…

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, BUDDY?! I AM THE DAUGHTER OF THE LADY WHO OWNS THIS PLACE AND I CAN JUST KICK YOU OFF OUR PROPERTY, YOU FREAKING BONEHEAD!! SO WHY DON'T YOU GET ALL OF YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU START GETTING IN SOMEONE'S FACE LIKE THAT!!" When she finished her tirade her face was an alarming red as she breathed in her second breath in almost 30 seconds. A small cub that he didn't notice before went up to her and started licking her chin in a submissive/comforting posture. Meanwhile, as all this was happening, the black haired demon was backed up against the wall with said girl's finger in his face. He stood there, shaking with fright.

'N-n-n-n-no w-w-w-way!!! T-there's no way that there's two of the faces!' He thought frantically. They stood there in that position, one heaving, one calming down, until they heard approaching hurried footsteps and rushed voices…

"…Heard that scream come from over here, guys!" A rough young man's voice was heard.

"Okay, we'll meet you there, Inuyasha!" Another man's voice was heard in response. The demon groaned in despair.

"Did it have to be dog-breath?" He moaned quietly. Aurora heard him and stared at him in angry confusion.

'…the hell is he talking about?' she thought in frustration. She looked to the top of the well just in time to see a red, white and black blur land in front of her. She narrowed her eyes as she saw the passenger of this new stranger…

"Kagome?!"
