Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, anyone, or anything affiliated with it.
I don't know how long I sat in the well staring at the blue shard of the jewel. It may have been minutes or even hours. I was stunned. It seemed as if the reason I couldn't get through the well was because I didn't have the jewel and now this strange blue jewel brought me back same as before.
"What could this mean?" I asked myself.
"She's here, I can smell her. I would recognize her scent from miles away." I heard Inuyasha say.
"Why would she have just disappeared like that?" Miroku asked.
"I don't know but she better have a good excuse."
"Do not be mean to her Inuyasha, she is going through something none of us understand right now. Just give her time." Sango stated as the voice of reason.
"Kagome? Are you down there?" Shippo called from the lip of the well.
"Are you injured or something?" Inuyasha jumped into the well beside me. " Hey, whats that in your hand?"
I opened my hand and showed him the shard.
"Good going Kagome! Is that why you left in the middle of the night? We were worried about you... Hey whats wrong?"
"Don't you see it Inuyasha?" I asked quietly.
"See what?"
"It's blue, the jewel."
"It looks the same to me, are you feeling alright? Let's get you to Kaede. Maybe she'll know what's wrong."
"There's nothing wrong with me, I feel fine. It's the jewel. It's different."
"Perhaps Kaede will know then. Do you want to ride?" He picked me up with out waiting for an answer and jumped out of the well. "Let's go"
"What's that smell?" Shippo asked as we left the forest on the edge of the village.
"I smell it too." Inuyasha put me down and pulled his sword. "Something is coming."
"There!" Miroku pointed to a large puddle of mud that was quickly forming and beginning to take a shape. "A demon."
"It's a swine demon." Sango informed us pulling Hiraikotsu around and dropping into a fighting stance.
Out of the mud, came a huge boar, with great tusk equal to the length of my arm, and he was laughing. "It gives me the jewel, and it gets to lives."
"Not even in your wildest dreams!" Inuyasha yelled attacking. He cut it nearly in half. "Well that was too easy."
"Ha ha ha, that lousy blade cannot kills me. I already has ones jewel." With a guttural noise he began pulling himself back together.
"Kagome, Can you see where his jewel is?"
"It looks like it is in his back, in the middle of his spine."
Inuyasha attacked again, "Iron Reaper Soul Stealer!" and pulled the demon's spine completely out. "Did I get it? Where is it now?"
"Here," I pointed out the section with the jewel. He crushed the bone and the demon turned to dust leaving the jewel in Inuyasha's hand. "That wasn't that bad."
He handed me the Jewel and picked me up again. He silenced me as I tried to protest. "This is faster." When we got a little ways away from the rest of the group he asked me, "Did that shard look the same as the other one we have?"
"Yeah, they look blue, though now that I looked a little closer, I noticed, Its not the jewel that changed, it's the aura it gives. What do you think it could mean?"
"I'm not sure, but I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the arrow that killed Naraku and shattered it again was poisoned. Do you remember yet?"
"Oh Yeah, I do remember, from Naraku's poison insects. I was thinking maybe something to do with the fact that it was corrupt when it broke. We will collect it again and put it right again."
A.N: ok, so the chapter is really short, but hey, two chapters in five hours, not too bad I think. I promise to update some more soon. Don't forget to leave a short little review for feedback. I'm pretty anxious myself to see where this story will go. ^_^
