Chapter 2: On a little trip


Morning came, and Kagome was hidden beneath the sheets of her bed.

The loud chirps of her alarm clock went through her sensitive ears.

Kagome reached over, and blindly hit the off button, and curled back under the sheets, to snooze a little longer.

After a few minutes, Kagome emerged from the safety of the sheets.

Without anymore delay, she quickly moved out of bed, and got herself ready, the same way she did everyday.

She took a quick shower, picked out a nice shirt, and shorts, brushed her teeth, then finally, grabbed some nail clippers, and trimmed her sharp nails.

This was an everyday occurence, Kagome looked like an ordinary girl, except she had little black furry ears tucked and blended in her long black hair.

Her nails grew faster than normal human beings.

Over night, her nails grew about two or three inches.

This was normal, for a demon like her, but her nails were always a problem, and she was always to scared to touch anything or anyone.

Other than her ears and nails, she looked normal.

Kagome left her room, meeting her family in the kitchen.

"Good morning Kagome." Mom said, gleefully.

"Hi mom." Kagome said, sitting at the table.

"Hey Kagome, I need to move some things around to the garage, do you think you can help me?" Grandpa asked.

"Hmm, why can't Souta do it?" Kagome asked.

"I have school today sis, unlike you." Souta siad, with a mouthful of oatmeal.

"Ew, ok fine." Kagome said, losing her appetite.

"When you guys get done, I'll have Kagome's work for today ready." Mom said.

Souta left with mom to go to school, while Kagome followed Grandpa out to the little shrine.

Kagome stopped in place, and sniffed towards the shrine.

It smelled different that usual.

"Come on Kagome." Grandpa poked his head through the door of the shrine.

Kagome blinked and ran, entering the shrine.

"Ok, we need to clean this place. You just get some of the boxes over there." Grandpa instructed.

Kagome went deeper into the shrine, passing a...

"Grandpa, we have a well?" Kagome asked.

"That is not just any well, Kagome. That is the bone eater's well." Grandpa said.

"Oh. That's... weird." Kagome said, and went over to pick up one of the boxes.

Her left ear twitched, as she heard a hiss.

Kagome looked around, mainly on the ground, thinking there was some kind of snake.

When she turned around, she noticed Grandpa was gone.

"Uh, Grandpa." Kagome took a couple steps forward.

A light cackle came from below the well.

Kagome's heart was pounding now.

She looked down into the darkness of the well.

Suddenly, a figure came out of the darkness in lightning speed, and before Kagome could react, the creature had its arms tightly around her.

"mmm. You'll be tasty." A voice hissed, and began to drag Kagome down the well with her.

"Grandpa!" Kagome shouted.

She stretched her arm out, clamping her claws, that weren't so sharp, on the edge of the well.

"Kagome!"

She could barely hear him.

He wouldn't make it, her grip was loosening.

The creature, which according to Kagome's senses, it was a demon, did one more yank, and Kagome was pulled deeper into the well.

"Let me go you creep!" Kagome squirmed and struggled all she could.

"Shut up, half-breed." The demon hissed, and something sharp plunged into Kagome's stomach.

Kagome screamed, and she did the only thing that was left to do.

She stretched her claws, and sliced down the creature's body, as hard as she could.

The demon screeched in agony, and Kagome gasped as the creature suddenly flew up, at massive speed.

Suddenly, they were no longer in the well, nor the shrine.

Light of the sun was around them.

Kagome was dropped from the demon's grasp, and landed roughly on the ground with a grunt.

Kagome opened her eyes, seeing the demon glowing above her, it screeched one more time, before exploding into many pieces.

Kagome pulled herself up, and ran for the unknown forest.

She didn't know where she was going, but she was scared, running was all she knew to do.

She looked behind her for any sign of something following.

She cried out as she tripped over a tree root that had stuck out of the ground.

Kagome landed on her still bleeding stomach.

She rolled on her back, crying in pain.

She crawled closer to the tree, and laid down, and if things couldn't get any worst, it began to rain.

Kagome was too tired to care, she curled up, and her world went dark.
