Ch. 5

The sunlight shined brightly, forcing me to wake up. I cracked opened an eye and found the hut empty. There was a still steaming cup of tea and a small piece of bread set down in front of me.

I chewed slowly as I thought about the recent day's events. Yesterday Kaede had told me all about the jewel, and about how I was a reincarnation of Kikyo(weird). I also learned about how the zombie, or Inuyasha, was really a half-demon who wanted the jewel to become full demon. I don't really see what he's complaining about though, I'd give anything to be able to do what he does. Then the town found out about me being Kikyo's reincarnation and starting bowing to me randomly and giving me free food(even weirder).

I stood up and walked out, suddenly very homesick. I wanted to get out of here. This place was driving me nuts. I just wanted my old life back! Besides, if I miss that Tai Quan Do tournament tomorrow Grandpa will kill me. Also, whether he kills me or not I need the prize money anyway.

I walked out of the hut in a huff, determined to get out of this crazy place. But I'd only walked a few steps when I bumped into something red.

"Hey watch it!" Inuyasha shouted distastefully down at me.

I swear I wanted to kill him right now.

"I don't have time for you," I said curtly and walked past him.

"Apparently you don't have time for a bath either, look at yourself! You're still covered in dirt and blood from the other night!"

I looked down and saw he was right. I had been way too caught up in everything to notice. Still, I didn't need him pointing it out.

"He's just a brainless zombie, he's just a brainless zombie, he's just a brainless zombie..." I muttered to myself as I walked on.

"Hey! I can hear you you know! And stop calling me a zombie!"

I started running and didn't stop till I reached the forest. Then I started to walk slowly. The trees here were huge, yet there weren't as many animals as you'd expect. I looked ahead and saw the well. If I came in that way...doesn't that mean I can get out that way? I made my way to it, not knowing how the heck I was going to figure this out. Something cut my cheek.

"Wha...?" I looked up and found separate hairs held taught all around me. I reached up and touched one, only to pulled my hand away as it cut me. It was as sharp as a knife.

"Aha, I see you possess the jewel. I thought it had disappeared long ago, what fortune that it should reappear now before me."

I turned around to face a lady floating up in the air. She wore a small kimono and was holding a sword with a black blade. I back up slowly till I hit something hard. I felt my hands on it. The well!

"Ok girly, hand it over and I won't cut off that pretty little head of yours," her voice was sly and cold, like a snake. She lunged down and me and swiped her sword twice on my neck. I expected pain, but felt nothing. I looked down and saw nothing. She hadn't cut my neck, she'd taken the jewel! I reached for it but she just backed up into the air and laned on a hair.

"Now," she smirked and rose her sword, "Prepare to die!"

I spun around and dived into the depths of the well, the sword on my tail. I reached the bottom in a way that was surprisingly gentle, like I'd only fallen a few feet instead of about ten yards. I waited for the sword to pierce through me, but it never came. I heard footsteps from above and waited for the hair lady to speak.

"Why are you dragging me in here again? She's not in that well."

"I'm telling you grandpa, the well just opened up and swallowed her. She's gotta be in there!"

Wait a minute. That wasn't the hair lady. That was-

"Grandpa?! Daichi?! I'm down here!" I shouted to the top of the well. They peared down at me.

"Kameko, what on earth are you doing down there?" Grandpa asked amazed.

I felt like I was going to cry of sheer joy.

Inuyasha dashed past the huts, dodging attacks from the possessed villagers. Kaede could see the hairs, but she was too weak to help him at the moment. She had told him that Kameko apparently could see the hair as well. He followed her scent through the woods and to the well. It ended there. Inuyasha remembered Kameko saying about how she wanted to go back to her own time, had she succeeded?

There's only one way to find out, Inuyasha thought and he jumped into the well after her.

I tugged on the new purple streak in my hair. It was a bang that went just past my ears on the left side of my head. It was my birthday present and reward for winning the Tai Quan Do contest.

I was having a great time. I had taken a nice long bath, gone through three packs of pocky, and now there was a luscious dinner sitting in front of me. As far as I was concerned, what had happened in the past few days had never happened.

Unfortunately, the universe disagreed with me, which I figured out when I heard the door opened behind me and an obnoxious voice pierce through my bliss.

"Hey, you think you just can leave like that?" he shouted as he walked over and grabbed my wrist.

"Wow, didn't know you'd miss me that fast," I noted as he dragged me towards the door.

Inuyasha instantly blushed and let go of my wrist.

"It's not that! Yura got the jewel, and you're the only one who can see the hairs," he clarified.

"Wait a sec, so you are asking me for help?" I was loving this.

Inuyasha seethed, his head smoking. He opened his mouth to fire a retort, but a huge crash came from outside. We all rushed out of the house.

"It's coming from the temple!" I shouted. Inuyasha and I ran inside. I quickly shut the door on Daichi and Grandpa, "Don't come in! It's too dangerous!"

The temple was filled with the hair from earlier. They bunched up and aimed for Inuyasha's head. I expected him to dodge it, but he didn't seem to notice them. I quickly rammed into him, pushing both of us to the floor.

"You idiot! What the heck did you do that for?"

"I'm the idiot? I just saved your life! You were just about to get your head cut off by all that hair!"

"I told you! Only you can see them!"

I stopped short. He was right, I was the only one that could see them. I glanced around and noticed a one strand of hair sticking out of the well. That must be what's possessing all the rest.

"Here!" I jumped up and grabbed the hair. I pulled on it, getting it to reflect the light, "Strike here! It should make the rest disappear."

Inuyasha didn't question me. He cut his claws straight through the hair, and all the hairs around him instantly disappeared. I gave a sigh of relief. Then I took a deep breath a made my way to the well.

"Ok then, lets go," I called over to Inuyasha. He gave me a weird look.

"You're coming? Just like that?"

I nodded and stared down into the well. I had to do this, or else Grandpa and Daichi could get hurt.

I felt something drop on my head. It was Inuyasha's red kimono jacket. I looked up at him questioningly.

"It's made from fur of the fire rat. It's not much, but it'll give you some protection," he explained without looking at me.

I gave a small nod and we jumped together into the dark depths of the well.

Just for those who don't know, Pocky is a pretzel/cooki stick dipped in chocolate or some other flavor. Will try to post soon! Comment!
