"You have until 7:00 pm tomorrow Koga. After I will go look for you all. The exhibition show be wrapped by then, I want to be home by morning." Mr. wolfe, Koga's father was saying as we set to leave to Mt. Hakurai. It was only about 20 miles from where the army base we arrived to.
"Yeah, yeah. We'll be back by then, Kagome and her family just want a quick visit home. We won't take long. Besides it will be morning so not too many demons should be out." Koga said as he strapped Kagome's weapon belt on. We all had one on actually. I held a fanny back in the back with first aid materials, a 10 ft rope, two smoke bombs, and a gun of choice. Mr. wolfe designed our stuff and the pocket knives Kagome had on her.
"Alright, be careful." Mr. Wolfe said as he kissed Kagome's forehead. We all got onto a black Jeep Wranglers. Lighte stayed with Mrs. Wolfe back home, I honestly would have flipped if Kagome brought her.
"When was the last time you guys have been here Inuyasha?" Ginta asked trying to start a conversation. I looked at Miroku and Sango, "Two years, or so. Last time was when we came back looking for Kagome." I said with guilty. "You guys?" I asked back. it was quite for a bit, then Kagome answered, "We haven't been since they found me."
"Why come now?" I Miroku asked. "I have always been wanting come but I was scared to come alone, I swore to myself that if I ever came back it would be with my guys. IF I ever managed to reconnect with you guys." She said with tears and smile. Sango took her in her arms and smiled with her.
The rest of the ride was pretty mellow, it was nice to see the nature we called home once. We stopped about 5 miles away from our old village, "Alright we are walking the rest, most hunting grounds are head. The last thing we need is to call attention with the car." Koga said.
"Wait a minute?!" I snapped, "You want us to walk on hunting grounds?! You're kidding right?! Kagome you know these grounds are not as safe as they use to be!" I said looking at her. "I know, which is why we are not a small group and are armed." She said. "Argh, fine. Lead the way wolf." We began to walk in the direction of Mt. Hakurai.
As we got closer, my nose kept sniffing familiar and very missed scents. "Sango Look!" Kagome screamed as she ran to a river, "Wow it still streaming strong! I would have thought it would be dry by now." Sango commented. Kagome smiled, "Doing laundry here, remember when we would just sit her until the boys came to look for us?!" "yeah!" both girls laughed. It was perfect to see them smile, and home. "Let's keep moving, we don't want our scents to linger in one spot too long." Koga said as he took Kagome's hand to walk.
We came to an opening between the forest, but not one I would be happy to be in. In the center of it, was a well. The well that ruined our lives forever. We stopped on our tracks. I looked over to Kagome who was in Koga's arms shaking, he was whispering to her. I felt a hand on both shoulder, both Sango and Miroku looked at me. I just nodded, I walked to Kagome. "Come with me" I told her as I raised my hand to her. She came out of Koga's arms and grabbed my hand. She was cold and shaking, I know this moment was hard for both of us.
We walked to stand right at the mouth of the well, "Take me down there" she whispered. "Are you sure?" I asked, and she nodded. I wrapped an arm around her and jumped in. Once we landed, we buried her face on my chest. "It's ok." I said. She slowly brought her face out, she looked around. She made her way to one of four walls. "Here, look." She said. I walked over, to see what she was looking at. On the wall were scratch marks at lead to the top. "To tried climbing?" I asked, she nodded. "I had almost made it, but one of the rocks chipped. I fell back in, I tried 14 times over and over." She said laughing at her. Something on another wall caught my attention. "You scratched my name here?" She walked to where I did, "Everytime I felt I was losing my mind I would look at it, somehow you have always managed to keep me sane." She said. Kagome walked away and stood in the center of the well. "It is actually nice to be back, I know I can finally see this place and say 'I survived'". She said. I felt like shooting myself right now. All my guilty was swallowing me while right now. "I'm sorry Kagome." I whispered to her. She shook her head, "Don't be, it in the past. Let's move on yeah?" we both agreed and headed to the others.
Everyone stood where we left them, "Everything ok? Better?" Koga asked. Kagome nodded, "Yeah, it is a huge weight off." She said. "Good, keep going?" He asked, we all nodded. This time Kagome asked me to lead because I knew the way to where our village use to stand.
Arriving to our destination, I was not surprised by what we found but I sure wasn't happy. It looked like a battlefield, dry, and covered in rotten human and demon corpse. But under all that we could still see the tracks of our villages. "Home sweet home" Sango said sarcastically. "It was beautiful place, once." I said as we kept walking around it. "Life seemed perfect here." Kagome added. "Almost perfect" Miroku corrected. "True, almost." Kagome agreed. We kept looking around, just reminiscing.
It started getting dark, "Alright let's started heading to the Jeep to set camp."Hikkaku ordered. We said our final good byes and walked away from our home, once again.
"Fuck man, it getting dark quick." I said looking up at the sky. "We are not too far, we should be fine." Mikoru assured me. I kept walking but I started to feel uneasy. I smelled something, "Wait!" I called out, "You smell that?" I asked Koga "Yeah….RUN!" he screamed. We all started to run. Someone or something managed to catch of scents, and it was chasing us now!
Without thinking we ran of our course. As kept trying to get away, felt another set of eyes, multiple eyes. "Stop , I think it's a trap!" I yelled but it was too late. Many demons came down from the trees, surrounding us. "Looks like we will be feasting tonight boys!" one of the demon called out. "Just like old times" Miroku said. "Couldn't agree more" Sango said. "Let's get this over with." Kagome said.
Something in us woke up, the struggle of living here before. Koga threw one of the smoke bombs to the floor. We all went spate directions, all toward on demon to fight. I never thought I would ever fight a demon again especially not to save my friends and family.
The more we fought I felt more showed up though. "Damn it! We need to get out here." Miroku yelled. Suddenly I hear gun shots. Koga and Ginta cleared a way, "This way let's go!" Ginta ran as we all ran that direction. Kagome with Koga in the lead. We came to an opening by a cliff, "Sigh, that was a close one." Kagome laughed. "That shit was crazy!" Hikkaku said. "It aint over!" we all heard a demon scream as he and a few other lunged at us.
We all went separate ways, trying to escape. "You're not going anywhere this time!" a demon cyelled as he stood in front of me. "Ha I'm gonna walk all over her dead body" I yelled back as I attacked him. One after another I killed, trying to keep them away from Sango, Miroku and Kagome. Koga and his brother were helping me, we knew we stood a higher chance than the other three.
The smell blood reached my nose, "Sango!" I heard Kagome scream as she shielded Sango who was bleeding from her arm. Kagome led some demons away from Sango, giving her time to get up and fight. But now Kagome was out numbered, none of us had the room to go help her. "Kagome watch out!" I yelled as I saw a demon come towards her. She looked at it but not in time. He punched her in the face. Koga ran to her side, "Kagome?! You OK?!" I yelled. "Yea, help me up" She said. Both of them dropped their guards and a demon can at them! "Watch out!" Ginta yelled. The demon threw himself at both Koga and Kagome. Koga got a hold of Kagome and leaped out of the way, but the demon got a hold of his right leg. "Shit!" Koga yelled as the demon threw them over the cliff.
"KAGOME! KOGA!" we all witnessed them fall helplessly.
I ran off the cliff falling after them, I knew the rest of them could manage without me. i fell into the water after them. I could see them as the rapids kept taking us. "Kagome?!" I yelled as I saw her trying to hold on to something. "Inuyasha!' she yelled. I swam as fast as I could to her. I finally caught up to her. "You ok?!" I asked as I wrapped an arm around her. "Yes, where is Koga?!" she asked. We both were still being pulled around but we couldn't see Koga anymore. "There!" I saw Koga as he tried swimming to safety. "Koga!" yelled "Don't let her go Mutt!" he screamed we finally got to each other, "Here" I handed him my rope. "Boys look!" Kagome said as pointed in the direction we were being pulled. There was a water fall, "SHIT!"
"INUYASAH!" I heard my name being called. It was Miroku, he was on the side. "CATCH!" he yelled as he threw me his rope. Just in time, I grab on as Kagome held one hand as she held Koga with her other hand. "Oh My GOD that was close!" Kagome said as we hang form the waterfall. "YUP!" I said.
Miroku and the rest started to pull us up. Suddenly, I felt my rope untie. "no no no!" the rope that was held Kagome and Koga started to rip. "Start climbing to me!" I yelled to Kagome and koga! But as the y mover the rope ripped more. "This isn't going to hold us much longer."Koga said looking at Kagome. I saw his intentions, "Don't you dare Koga!" Kagome yelled as she tightened his hand, "It's one of us or both Kagome. And one of us has to make it to Lighte" Koga said smiling. "NO, just hold on, we are almost up!" Kagome said. He shook his head, "Watch over her Inuyasha. I love you Kagome" He said as he pulled off Kagome's grip. "NO! KOGA!"
