Chapter 3

"Man this water is cold…" Kagome said as he stood naked in the water.

"Come out Kagome," Kaede said while putting wood on a fire, "Don't force yourself"

"Not yet" Kagome said, "I'm covered in mud,blood and demon slime, I gotta get it off first" he said to Kaede as he ducked under the water, 'I didn't even think there was a time before hot baths.' he thought,while Inuyasha was watching atop a tree.

He remembers what happened the previous evening at Kaede's house. "What did you do to it?" Inuyasha barked at Kagome as he was holding the shard of the Jewel. "Stop barking Inuyasha" Kaede told the half demon girl, "Leave it to him to wind up breaking it!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Technically it wasn't Kagome who broke it,it was the crow's foot that he attached to the arrow that broke it,as ye saw the Jewel has now been scattered into many pieces hundred,maybe thousands,it doesn't matter how many shards there are it only takes one in the wrong hands to bring disaster" the old priestess told Kagome.

"I see…I didn't think it would be this bad" the modern boy said looking at the fire.

"Kagome,Inuyasha, only by working together the two of ye be able to recover the shards of the Sacred Jewel". "You won't catch me complaining," Inuyasha said. "But I'm only in it because I want the Jewel" the half demon girl said looking at the Jewel shard, 'All I wanna do is go home though…' Kagome thought to himself.

Cut back to the present as he remembers last night as he was swimming in the water as he gets out Inuyasha watched him as and Kagome noticed this and covered his "male parts" in embarrassment and yelled "Sit Girl!" And Inuyasha was sent plummeting to the ground as he went to get changed behind a bush with the clothes Kaede provided him

"The only reason I came here was to–."

The half demoness was interrupted by Kaede "Steal the Jewel shard correct?" The old priestess said holding the jewel shard.

"You're pretty smart,you old hag" Inuyasha said back. "Ye think to do it alone,do ye? You forget only yon boy can find those shards and ye Inuyasha,have strength enough to take them back once found" the old woman said to the half demon girl. "I haven't left yet have I? I'll put up with anything for the Jewel" she said with a cocky look. "I really am gonna hate putting up with you" Kagome said coming out from behind the bush, and Inuyasha was stunned 'Ki-Kikyo…' she thought as she saw Kagome dressed in priest clothing and looked a lot if not exactly the same as Kikyo and a low growl escapes her throat. "And what ails ye now Inuyasha?" Kaede asked Inuyasha as the half demo girl scooted away.

"Lady Kaede!" A woman said rounding around the corner, "My girl has fallen ill"

"I'm sorry I must return to the village," Kaede said, "Don't be mean to Kagome now Inuyasha." Kaede finished as she left.

"Kagome, could you please change," Inuyasha said staring at the ground.

"Huh? Why?" The modern reincarnation of the priest asked, "Because you look like Kikyo" Inuyasha said looking away irritated. "Geez with an attitude like that I don't even wanna work together with you" Kagome said sighing , taking his clothes off the branch they were hanging off and started walking away. "Fine by me! I can do it on my own" Inuyasha yelled back at him "Hey where are you going?" Inuyasha asked Kagome as he started walking away "I'm going back to my home" Kagome said turning looking back at her "Wait hold on! Just listen to me" Inuyasha cried out as she got up and ran after him

"Why? So you can try and stop me or something?"

"No, so you can give your Jewel Shard" the half demon girl demanded holding her hand out

"You mean this?" Kagome said holding a small bag that held the shard "Sit girl" he said and the effects of the necklace made Inuyasha plummet on the floor

"Why,You!"The half demon girl shouted as Kagome walked away

"This way Lady Kaede," the woman said leading the priestess into her house, "She was healthy this morning but now"

"Let me look," Kaede said heading over to the child as she noticed something strange, "No! Stay back!" she yelled to the woman.

"What!" the woman yelled as her daughter rose from the bed like a zombie and then began floating.

"She floats!" the woman yelled as Kaede noticed a string like substance holding the girl up.

"Strands of hair?" Kaede questioned as one of the strands brought a knife to the girls hand...

Kagome was now in front of the Bone Eaters Well 'That's where i came out from' he thought as he remembered when he first came out of it and looked down into the well 'Are those the bones of that centipede woman?' he thought as he sat down, 'It should take me back right?' he asked himself as he saw a falling leaf randomly get cut midair, and as he stood up confused something cut his cheek."ouch!" He said touching the cut he looked over and saw a multiple threads hanging around the place."That looks like…hair." He said touching one of the strands

"Oh my! Oh me! You can see it then,my net of hairs,I mean" said a woman who was wearing clothes barely big enough to cover her, "Though simply seeing it will do you no good"

"Who are you?" Kagome yelled up to the woman.

"Yura of the hair," the woman said, "But I won't be offended if you don't remember. Because your life is about to end!" She yelled as she commanded her hair to attack Kagome, as another one of her hairs grabbed the shard of the jewel that Kagome carried, "Oh my! Just look what you've done to the Shikon jewel!" Yura yelled at Kagome as she held the shard.

"Give that back!" Kagome yelled as he tried to grab Yura's hair.

"What did you do to the rest of it! Where is it!" The woman yelled at him

"Im,not really sure…" Kagome replied

"I see…in that case,I may as well finish you off now!" Yura said as one of her hairs brought her a katana and she attacked Kagome,who barely managed to dodge the slice causing the boy from the future to fall into the well, "It is no use trying to escape!" she yelled throwing her sword attached to some hair into the well, "Thats strange" she stated as nothing was hit. She jumped over to the well and looked down, "He's gone?" she asked herself while looking into the well, "Who was that boy?"

'I don't need his help' Inuyasha thought as she ran back to the village, 'I'm better off without him' She thought as four women carrying farming tools and knives came at her. "What?" Inuyasha asked herself as she knocked them to the ground, and landed at the outskirts of the village. "You're the women of the village!" Inuyasha said as she landed.

"Inuyasha, do not injure them!" Kaede yelled as she lay on the ground injured.

"What happened to you?" Inuyasha asked walking up to the old priestess, "Why are you all covered in blood"

"I thank ye for your concern Inuyasha," Kaede said, "But there be other things we need to worry about"

"Okay, but why are your women attacking me?" Inuyasha asked.

"They are under the control of someone... or something else," Kaede said, "Where is Kagome? Call Kagome and bring him here"

"He went back to his home," Inuyasha said, "I think I can handle this one myself"

"No, for this fight we need Kagome!" Kaede yelled at the half demoness, "Hear me Inuyasha, unless we take out the one who manipulates them from the shadows"

"No time!" Inuyasha yelled as she jumped out of the way of one of the villagers attacks.

"The hair Inuyasha! Cut the hair attached to the girls!" Kaede yelled to the silver haired girl.

"What hair! I don't see any hair!" Inuyasha yelled as she accidentally cut through one of the hairs, causing the attacking villagers arm to fall limp, "Eh"

"No! Flee the hair! Escape Inuyasha!" the elderly woman yelled as more girls came at the young woman tying her up with hair.

"The puppeteer must be a fool! Even if I can't see the hair..." Inuyasha said as she pulled on the strands of hair, "I can still pull out who's on the other end!" she continued as she pulled harder and fell to the ground, "What!"

"Sorry to disappoint," Yura said on the other end of the hair, "But the hair grows!" she said as she formed a design with the hair in her fingers, "Now then... It is time for you to offer me your neck!" she yelled as she caused the hair to strangle Inuyasha.

"Ngh!" Inuyasha choked out as the hair wrapped around her neck as it tied her around a tree, "Curse It!" She yelled as she broke the tree and held her neck as she breathed heavily "Oh man I though I was a goner" the half demoness said.

"A human would be headless ," Kaede said, "However I do believe that we should be fleeing." she said pointing at the new set of villagers coming at them.

"You're right," Inuyasha said picking up the old lady, "Let's get out of here!" she said as she fled with the old priestess on her back.

"Inuyasha, the hair!" Kaede yelled as Inuyasha miraculously missed the hair "You say something Kaede," Inuyasha said.

"Never mind," Kaede replied.

"What a stubborn person," Yura said as she was pulling some hair back "Oh,what pretty silver hair" she said as she held the string of Inuyasha's hair.

"Hey Kaede, you can see the hairs?," Inuyasha said as she set the old woman on to some leaves, "Can you show me where they lead"

"Ask not...the impossible..." Kaede said trailing off, "My eyes are not what they used to be, and in this condition"

"Oh sorry...so how do I fight what I can't see?" Inuyasha asked "Kagome can see them,without him ye don't stand a chance" Kaede said.

"I see…" Inuyasha said looking at the sky.

"Hmmm..." Kagome said as he woke up at the bottom of the well. 'That's right I fell in the well,' He thought to herself as he heard people.

"But we've already looked in the well!" an elderly man's voice said.

"I saw him fall in the well, really!" a young boy's voice said back to the elderly man's "You must have been dreaming..." the old man's voice said as light filled the well.

"But gramps I saw it!" the young boy yelled back as Kagome recognized their faces.

"GRAMPS! SOTA!" Kagome yelled, 'I'm home,' he thought as he climbed out of the well.

"Kagome, where have you been?" his grandpa asked him.

"And why are you wearing those weird old clothes?" Sota continued.

"I'm just glad to be back home…" He said with a tearful look on his eyes

"Kagome...what in the world happened?" his grandfather asked looking down.

"All right, this should do it," Inuyasha said as she dug a hole in the ground, "Its the least I can do for you Kaede, I'll bury you here." She said as she put the priestess in the hole.

"Do I look dead to ye?" Kaede asked Inuyasha as the young demoness started covering her with the dirt from the hole she dug.

"I'm burying you here so you can hide as I go get Kagome." Inuyasha said as she put leaves over Kaede's face, "Don't worry I'll be back"

"Ye best not forget me Inuyasha," Kaede said.

'I hope I can make it to Kagome's era,' Inuyasha thought as she headed to the well

"Ah…" Kagome said to himself as he laid in the tub "It sure is good to be back" he said as he leaned back on the tub.
