It was three days before they made it to the well that Kagome had mentioned. Luna was almost fully recovered, Rin was overly-excited about getting to hang out with a small fox demon named Shippo, who happened to be traveling with Kagome, and Sesshomaru wasn't sure what he felt, the emotion being an odd mix of happiness, due to Luna's recovery, or annoyance, due to having to be around his brother and the humans he traveled with. There had been multiple fights, usually stopped by Kagome punishing Sesshomaru's brother or by Luna giving Sesshomaru the puppy-dog eyes.

"Finally, we're here!" Kagome's cheerful voice rang out through the trees.

Luna sighed. From what she had been told, not everyone could go through the well, and she didn't want to leave her new friends behind, though she knew her responsibilities were beyond the well, back in Tokyo where she belonged. "I guess this is goodbye, then..."

Sesshomaru frowned, noticing how sorrowful Luna's eyes looked. He had heard her tell of the many things that she did in Tokyo, of her group, of the people that wanted to hunt them, and knew he couldn't ask her to stay. "I guess so..."

Realizing that Kagome was already jumping into the well, Luna calmly walked to it and sat on the side, glancing back at everyone she was leaving. "Goodbye, everyo-"

Rin tackled her, giving her a hug, but also knocking her backwards into the well. Sesshomaru's instincts kicked in and he lunged after them, tripping over Shippo, and falling into the well himself.

They had expected to hit the bottom. They expected a thud and a reminder of what gravity is. What they didn't expect was the blue glow that enveloped them, the feeling of weightlessness, then the gentle landing next to Kagome.

"Well... that was..."

"Odd..." Luna finished Rin's sentence as she tried to figure out why Kagome was looking at her as if she had suddenly sprouted three heads.

"How did you all get through the well?"

"Um... gravity, I guess... I dunno... You were the one who suggested the well, not me." Luna blinked as she answered Kagome's question, no longer sure what was going on. Sitting up, she turned to Sesshomaru and Rin. "Since we're here, I can show you where my group lives!"

Sesshomaru smiled, happy that Luna didn't have to leave forever, while Rin cheered, excited to actually see some of the amazing things she had been told about.

After disguising Sesshomaru in some clothes borrowed from Kagome's family and a tiny bit of makeup, they set off for Luna's home. The streets were crowded with vehicles and pedestrians, all rushing and yelling without any regard to the unusual group. The stench from the road made Sesshomaru want to cut his nose off completely. It felt odd to be in such an open space after a year of traveling under trees. It felt even more odd when he looked in one of the shop windows and saw large boxes with moving pictures on them.

"This should be it." Luna stopped at an apartment complex and opened the door, holding it for everyone. Inside, it was quite obviously old with wallpaper peeling and stains in the carpet. Luna pressed a button on a small gray panel and waited. There was the sound of a tiny bell ringing, then a large grey door opened. "This will take us to it, but we need to hurry. No strangers in the elevator."

The three blinked before quickly crowding into the tiny room. A large gray panel was next to the door, and was the only relief from the horribly ugly wallpaper. Luna turned away from the others as she removed a small pewter key from her shirt and stick it into the panel. Twisting it, the door slammed shut and everyone felt the elevator lurch before beginning its ascent.

With a final lurch, the elevator stopped and Luna extracted the key. "This is our stop."

The door opened swiftly and shut after the last person was out. "Someone probably called it... good thing they can't get here without the key..." Fumbling through her keys, she failed to notice that the door was actually off of its hinges. "Where did I put that door key..."

"The door's open..."

"Huh? It's supposed to be shut at all times..." Luna put her keys back into her shirt and stepped through the door cautiously.

Her sudden gasp made everyone rush in after her. The walls were charred, leaving almost no trace of the wallpaper. The floor was covered in ashes which used to be furniture. In one of the piles, something resembling a hand was sticking out. Luna was kneeling beside it, digging through the massive amount of ashes to find whatever could be attached to the hand. Slowly, she managed to uncover a body. "My sister..."

They could see Luna trembling, trying desperately not to cry in front of the group at the door. Everyone jumped at once when they heard an outrageously loud snore come from the body.

"Zakura! You're alive!" Luna shook the sleeping girl until she finally grumbled and opened her eyes.

"What the hell... Hey, why do you smell singed? Wait... that's me... Why do I smell like this?"

"I think there was a fire... I dunno. I haven't been here in a few days..."

"Speaking of which, where the hell were you?"

"That's a long story. We have more important matters."

Rin, meanwhile, had slowly walked over to one of the walls and stood there as if unsure where to go.

"Something wrong, Rin?"

"I feel something pulling me, Sesshomaru-sama... Something's telling me to go this way... But I can't because of the wall..."

Sesshomaru blinked, then looked at Luna. "What's in that direction?"

Luna glanced at where Rin was, then replied, "I've tracked hunters to a hideout which was over there..."

"Then why does it feel like something's pulling me?"

"I don't know... but this may be useful..." Luna paused, thinking carefully. "I think I've got a plan."

Authoress: *is asleep*

Zakura: *whispers* She's had a hard day... So I'm speaking for her. She wanted me to tell you all to have a happy Easter, and to be sure to review. Sayonara now.
