heh, i finally figured out how to put this stupid line in the story so yay i'm sooo happy!!!! (can't see how i can manage that when i'm depressed...) Anyway here's chapter two.
"Have you ever heard of the bone eater's well?" Kikyo asked. It was after dinner and they were crowded around the fire, trying to keep the cold air from seeping into their bodies and hearts. Everyone's attention was focused on the priestess, but none was as attentive as Inuyasha. The dog demon sat impatiently and the soft glow of the fire could do nothing to mask the desperate look in his eyes. Again Sango was reminded of how Kikyo had betrayed them before, but she didn't say anything.
"We've heard of it," Shippo piped up, "That's where Kagome came from."
Kikyo nodded. "You all know that it transfers the bones of monsters, and people too, from one time period to another, right?" she asked her attentive audience. They all nodded and she smiled, satisfied.
"What does that have to do with getting Kagome back?" Inuyasha interrupted, looking impatiently at his former lover. Suddenly, his whole face lit up. "Do you mean she's alive? Is she back in her own time, waiting for me?"
Kikyo shook her head. "No Inuyasha," she said gently, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, "The dead can't come back to life on their own. So far, I only know of two ways to bring people back. One is by magic, but the chances of that working out are very slim. More often the body's just an empty shell."
"What's the other way then?" Miroku asked, "I've never heard of any other way." As he said this Sango felt another stab of mistrust pulse through her. What if she's lying? She thought to herself, what if this is just a ploy to break Inuyasha's heart again? She opened her mouth to speak, but Kikyo was already talking.
"The only other way is by the Well of Sacrifice," she gazed at the puzzled faces around her and explained, "The Well of Sacrifice, better known as the bone eater's well, is a wishing well that makes any wish, no matter how absurd, come true, in exchange for a price. I warn you though; sometimes the wish is not worth the price you pay.
"You can't alter fate, Inuyasha, though you may try. The consequences might haunt you forever."
"I don't care," Inuyasha had already gotten up, his hand on the door, "I'm going to get her back if it's the last thing I do."
"It may very well be the last thing you do, Inuyasha," Kikyo murmured, but no one else heard it above the howling of the wind as the set out into the night.
