I still don't own anything related to Inuyasha.
The Yōkai Child
The Past, Time and a Well
Kagome had enjoyed her surprise party that ended with a real party. When she arrived home to the shrine she was met with everyone yelling "Happy Birthday" all at once. Kagome blushed at all the attention that she was receiving. But something was not right, an unknown hole that made no scenes. She gave a sparkling smile that had dazzle but nothing more. After all the guest had left Kagome sat up in her room sitting on the windowsill thinking. Something was wrong she knew that much but what it was escaped her.
A soft knock on her door drew her back. "Come in." she called out. A withered smile met her as her grandpa came in her room.
"How are you feeling Kagome you seem distant at the party." he said sitting on the corner of her bed.
Kagome got up and walked over to him. She flopped down on with a sigh as she lay on her back. She covered her face with her right arm.
"I don't know Grandpa its like I am here but I am not. Like there is something out-of-place." she said with a heavy heart.
He looked down on her and remember the day he first seen her. Big shiny bright eyes looked up at his as he looked at the note. It was delicate script that used a method most didn't use anymore. He read the note out loud unable to believe his eyes.
"Please take care of my pup as you would any other human pup. I am in terrible danger and fear for her life please if you raise her tell her nothing." He looked down at the tiny baby girl who smiled up at him. His heart reached out to her as he kept looking at the paper.
"Kagome I have something to tell you." he said with such an edge it made her sit up. She looked over at her grandfather with wonder.
"What is it Jii-chan?" she spoke out loud. He made a fist as he made up his mind, as he got off the bed.
"Fallow me Kagome." was all he said as he made his way out of her room.
Kagome followed him out of her room and stopped as suddenly. He pulled the string to the attic stairs down, he made his way up first. It was dark but he knew right where the switch was. The attic now light enough to see, dusty old things that you would never think twice about. Tall things and trunks sat around the room. Her grandfather made his way to the back of the attic. Under a few things was a trunk that you would never know of unless you knew where to look. He pulled out a few things that were in a strange place. The first was a basket, a blanket, and an old dirty nightgown that had small rips and had blood on it.
"Grandpa what is all this?" Kagome asked confused.
