Chapter 56: The Well Is Open, But How?

The door bell rang. "I'll be back in a second Kagome." Inu Heki said. He left and came back in in about a minute, when he did Kagome was laying back down again. Inuyasha came in with him.

"Kagome?" Inu Heki said.

"Hm?" She grunted lightly.

"Look."

She sat up a bit and smiled when she saw her mate. He walked over to her and she laid back down. "What happened?" He asked.

"Your younger self went berserk when Yumi wished on the jewel. You turned full blooded youkai. I had to heal her while holding the well open. It sucked my strength." She muttered. His hand caressed her cheek with his hand.

"She's been doing good until when she woke up. She turned as white as a ghost a minute ago." Inu Heki told him.

"I can't take her home in this condition, she's too fragile right now. One wrong move and she's gone, especially because she's a youkai."

"She can stay here for the night. I don't mind."

She nodded. "It feels like I held the well open for a day and a half almost. I'm not doing that anytime soon again."

They smiled. She sat up again.

"Kagome, don't." Inuyasha said.

"I'm fine. Don't worry. I can at least sit up. It won't kill me…. I feel like giving in though."

"You should rest more then."

"But I don't want to wake up a youkai."

"Hold onto your Shainingu Tarento. It won't let you turn a youkai while holding it."

She nodded weakly. Her father walked out. Inuyasha sat on the bed next to her. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"Mostly. I'll hold out."

"Why do you smell like your father?"

Her eyes widened. 'I thought he couldn't smell him on me if he was human! I didn't relinquish his senses!'

"Well?"

"I-I had him carry me back through the well earlier."

"That doesn't sound to me like the whole story."

She sighed and sat up against the head board. "I had to. I had to get aroused for you to come back. We couldn't find you. You went on a rampage. It was the only way. I had to fake that I was in heat." She shook her head as she looked down. "I'm sorry. I had to. It was the only way." She muttered. He came closer to her and picked up her face with his hand to make her look at him.

"I'm sorry you had to do that too. Its fine if it was the only way."

"You sure?"

"Yes." He nodded and kissed her cheek; let go of her face and she smiled weakly. Her father came in with a glass of water and a small bottle.

"This should help darling."

She smiled at him taking them. "Thanks. It will." She opened the bottle and took two pills out then took them.

She felt the well open differentially again. "Why is it always at the worst times that it has to open to my time? Why? Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka." She felt somewhat weaker, but not much. She could probably walk if she had something to hold onto.

"Why did you do that? You know it will drain you." Inuyasha said.

"Because, I want to go." She said sliding off the bed.

"No, your too weak."

"No I'm not. Henjo Tenka Kengen Kashio."

"You're not going."

"Yes I am. You can't stop me Inuyasha. I want to see my family for once."

"You want me to come with you?"

"Please. Dad, can you watch the well for me?"

"Yes." They all walked out to the well house. Kagome was holding onto Inuyasha's waist. They jumped in and jumped out easily. When they went inside Kagome's mom ran and latched onto her.

"Mom, woow, watch it please. I just woke up from passing out."

"Sorry darling, I just missed you."

"I did too. Our younger selves are finally mates now." She said sitting on the couch in the living room with Inuyasha and her mom.

"That's good."

"It was easier to fight Naraku, since I already went through it."

"I would imagine."

"…I don't know why the well would open to this time anymore, they made the wish and the well should be sealed."

"Yea, why did it open?" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't know. Maybe… no."

"What?"

"I was going to say maybe the Shikon no Tama is here, but it can't be. I can't feel its presence or the well open fully. Its odd."

"Let's just enjoy it while we can."

"How's Souta?"

"He's doing good. He has a daughter now. Her name is Sakura, she's about two months old now."

"Tell him I said congrats when you can…. I miss the old days somewhat. Here and in the Feudal Era."

"I know you do darling."

"I did say to my father at one point that if I could I would do it over to have real fun with it. Its like I took advantage of those days. I like it here, but I miss traveling for the shards. Not hiding our true forms, fighting Naraku. I wish I could do it over, once, so I could take in everything."

"You sort of already did. You helped your younger selves do it."

"I know, but it wasn't the same."

They heard the back door open and close. Someone walked into the living room.

"Hey mom!" Said a man's voice.

"Souta, we're in here!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled.

"Souta?" Kagome asked.

He walked in. He just looked like an older version of Souta. "Kagome?"

She nodded and got up. They ran into each others arms. "God, I haven't seen you in years! How did you get here?"

"Through the well. It opens every once and a while between here and the other world. I don't know why now though. My younger self already wished on the jewel."

"I don't care. I've missed you."

"How old are you now?"

"28 sis."

"Oh my, that means I'm not your big sister anymore. In demon years I'm 516, but I'm about 21 in human years."

"Oh my god. How did that happen?"

"Demons grow quicker for the first 5 years. So they grow about at 10 human years is equal to a demon year, but after that every 25 human years is a demon year. I wasn't a demon up until I was 16. So You just add 500 years and 16 then divide it until you get as close as you can to 25."

"Dang, so it'll take you 25 years to be one human year older?"

"Right now, because I'm 20.64 human years old it will take about 10 years, then yes."

"Then how old are you Inuyasha?"

"He's about 850 demon years old, but only 34 in human years."

"How come you have a 13 human year difference?"

"Because I was human for 16 years, he wasn't. He went through his whole life using demon years."

"Can you two stop talking like I'm not here?"

"Sorry mate."

"So what do you two really look like now?"

"Like this." She said stepping back next to Inuyasha. "Henjo Tenka Kengen." They changed. His eyes grew wide.

"You look completely different from your hanyou forms. And what's that on your forehead Kagome?"

"It's a silver crescent mark." She said pulling her bangs over. "It signals inu-youkai royalty. Every different colored one is a different royalty. Like our children have one in between. And it can give you a telepathic connection to anyone who has one like yours. I can communicate to my father through it because he ruled The Southern Lands in the Feudal Era. Even if he shouldn't of. But our children can communicate to us both but me and Inuyasha can't communicate with it."

"Ok, I get it…. Wait, what? Your father was a youkai?!"

"Yea. His name is Inu Heki. He died before I knew him, he died in battle. I have a miko power that I can heal through my hands. He got such a bad wound in 1981 that I was having trouble repairing him even. He's alive on the other side though."

"Remember those scratch marks on my back? And the two puncture marks here?" Mrs. Higurashi said pointing to her shoulder.

"Yea?"

"He went berserk Souta. Even with me there it was hard to keep him under control…. I hurt your feelings back then mama. I had to kiss him twice to calm him down…. 500 years ago I had to mate him. It was my only choice. Naraku's incarnation played with my mind, making me believe he would forcefully mate me and I couldn't stop it. I did it intentionally so it would stop. It did but with a price of finding out about her. About the incarnation. I wouldn't of done it If I knew that…. His youkai still loves me. He must of thought I was pretty good, because when I kissed him he didn't even acknowledge that anyone else was there but me. I knew he was good, but never me. Inuyasha, you've never said anything. You just howl…. I can't know by that if I'm good or not." Kagome said.

"Well you are!"

"Ok, can we change it? I'm sorry that happened, mom and Kagome. Both of you."

"I saw how he died in a dream. He was laying on the bed, you were next to him mom. He woke up and his eyes turned the color of dried blood…. He… he growled, you backed off but he still came after you and you were clawed…. He… he went on a rampage and passed out and died…. I saw every thing mom. It was like I was there. Like I was you. I felt your sadness and pain. I never wanted anything to happen like that. I did everything in my power to save him now."

Kagome's mom was silently crying. Kagome came up and sat next to her. She traced the claw marks down her back.

"And you still have his mate mark too." She said pulling her shirt over a bit to see it.

She nodded. "I loved him so much…. And he… he-"

"But what you have to acknowledge is mom, when a youkai is in that state, it isn't them. All you can do it watch. He felt the same way you did. He never wanted to do that to you. There was no way at that point of bringing him back. He couldn't. I doubt that I could of even brought him back at that point. Once a youkai loses that much blood, they can only wait for death. They have no control, about the only thing they have control over is their eyes. Me and Inuyasha both know what it feels like. That's why hanyous need seals. To seal their youkai blood away. So that your youkai won't destroy your soul and you are forever like that."

She nodded and hugged her daughter. "I'm sorry mom. I don't know why my other self didn't help."

"Be-Because I kicked her out, thinking she was the one who hurt him…. I could of saved him…. He wouldn't be dead if I didn't."

"I'm sorry mom."

'Kagome, the well.'

'Yes father.'

"Its time. I'm sorry I can't stay longer."

"Why sis?"

"Because the well will close. I'll try and open it again soon. I love you." She said hugging her mom, then her brother. "Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka Omomuki."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye sis."

"Bye!" She said walking out with Inuyasha.

'Kagome, now! Hurry!'

'Were right there dad.'

They jumped in and out. Kagome was still having a bit of trouble walking. "Thank god you made it here in time."

The well shut.

"Yes…." She still had a sad tone in her voice.

"What's wrong darling?"

"I told mom… I told her about how we mated and how-how you died. I had to explain to her and Souta…. I shouldn't have."

Inuyasha let go of her. She ran into her father's arms and cried. "I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry."

"It's ok darling." He said stroking her hair. "Its ok."

She nodded and let go of him. "Will you be ok darling?"

"Yea, I'll be ok…. I just want to rest a bit. I'll come back tomorrow and talk about this when I'm better."

He nodded and kissed her cheek. They said goodbye and walked away. When they got home it was near 9pm. The kids were all in bed. Inuyasha walked Kagome to their room and she sat up in the bed and sighed.

"You going to be ok mate?"

"Yea." She said and smiled at him. He sat on the bed next to her. She brought him closer to her and kissed him. "So you think I'm good, huh?"

"Yea, what about it?"

"How good?" She asked sexily.

"No. We're not until you're better."

She flexed her brow and smirked.

"I am better." She said and laid on top of him.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure mate. Why would I do it now if I was still weak? Huh?"

"I don't know."

They started to undress. She got back on top of him when they were naked. She kissed all the way down his chest and he groaned. They flipped and he did the same. He moved to her breast and sucked on one of her nipples. She moaned and pushed his head into her lightly. He then moved down to her folds. She gasped as he pushed his tongue into her. He pinched her clit then she grasped his head and pushed him deeper in. He came back up and kissed her then slid a finger into her. Her eyes then widened when he broke the kiss. "In-Inu… INUYASHA!" She yelled.

He moved back down and thrust his tongue into her again. Her body started to convulse and she bucked he hips up, giving herself more to him. It was like the dams broke at that point. Her back arched off the bed as she came into his mouth. She panted after she stopped.

"If you think I'm done with you my sweet mate, you're wrong. This is just the beginning." He said and that made her arousal spike again.

She looked at him, wanting him. He positioned himself at her entrance and thrust into her. They turned into youkais at that point. She arched off the bed and flew into his chest. They kissed roughly and he laid her back down after a minute and started to pump. She purred as he got faster within her. She clutched onto his waist and he was holding onto her shoulders. He started to pinch her clit and her head thrashed side to side. He hadn't ever been this good before.

"Ka-Kagome…" He moaned and then lightly howled before she came up and kissed him. She sunk back down as he came in her. His helped her even more.

"In… u… yash…aaaa!" She screamed and she came as well. He pulled out and fell beside her once she fell limp. They panted for a minute then she sat up. "Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka Omomuki. Where did you learn to do that mate? Has my father been teaching you or something? You've never been that good!"

He sat up as well. "I just wanted to see how good you were and thought you would be at your best if I was at mine."

"That reminded me a bit of when I mated my father. The only difference was that he didn't howl. By the way, any louder and you would of woken the kids up and probably the rest of the neighborhood too."

"I can't help it!"

"Yes you can! Do you see me howling like that?"

"No. But don't you feel like a… need to?"

"Not really, no. Why is that why you howl?"

"Yes. It feels natural."

'Natural my ass. He just does it because he likes it.' She got up and got her clothes and threw his clothes to him.

"Are you mad at me mate?" He asked.

"No, I'm just a bit nervous that Nodoka or Inuosukyo will ask what was going on. Expecially Inuosukyo, he won't back off like Nodoka does."

"We'll be fine mate. I won't tell him anything." He said getting his clothes back on.

"I just hope they don't ask. And I hope they don't inherit that from you either."
