I do not own Inuyasha.

The Yōkai Child

The beginning part four

Cold was all Kagome thought as she reach sleepily for her blanket. Her hand landed on something soft, so she snuggled in to it closer. When she was completely wrapped up in softness she thought as her blanket she went back to completely sleeping. All the while both Sesshomaru and Jaken watched this happening. Jaken looked down at it flabbergasted, no one other than himself ever got so close to Lord Sesshomaru's mokomoko. Jaken was about to say something about it when Sesshomaru walked off.

"My Lord where are you going!" Jaken cried running after him. Sesshomaru had heard Jaken's question but choose to ignore him. Soon he would see what was about to happen.

As Sesshomaru walked through the forest he pasted by his half-brother once more. He silently sighed at the pure irony here, as human were bad luck to his kind. He continued to fallow the path the Inu pup had used. That is when he came to an open area with a dry well sitting there. And that is where the pup had come from, which was confusing to him. As Sesshomaru looked down to the bottom of the well, he thought how anything could survive in such a place.

He held the raven haired child over the well with his mokomoko. And released her from it by unraveling her from it. But she didn't fall off instead she held on to it. Annoyed at this action he whipped her down-ward, which sent her flying. He watched as a sudden light caught her and she was gone. Everything disappeared at that point including her scent as if it was all a dream.

"Master what happened to the girl?" Jaken asked in aw of what he just saw.

"Hn." was all he said as he continued to walk away from the dry well.

Cold was all that went through Kagome's mind as she sat up and looked around. Her eyes opened wide as she realized where she was. She started to cry as she sat alone in the Bone Eaters Well. She stopped a few minutes later as she heard the door to the well house open.

"Kagome have you been down there all night?" her grandfather yelled down at her. All he got where a few sniffles as she looked up at him. As he climbed down the latter.

He picked her up and carried her out as she kept her face buried in his shoulder. He took her in to the house and cleaned her up all shiny and new. He frowned at four red marks that lined her face right across her eyes. He decided to put the nightgown away in the attic. So if anything like this ever happened again she might remember what happened.
