InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hanyou Kagome ❯ The Well And Back Home ( Chapter 3 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

"JUST WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO IT!" Yelled a very angry Kagome. Inuyasha just sat in the hut not paying any attention to her. He already felt bad about shattering the jewel and he didn't need the half demon to keep reminding him. This just... this just wasn't his day... not in the slightest. Kaede was telling them about the jewel shattering into millions of shards, and that they both have to gather them all before anyone else could get them. For even only one shard holds great power that can bring disaster to anyone.

Nothing was NOT going his way anymore... nope... Kagome was really pissed off, so she walked out of the hut leaving Inuyasha and Kaede alone. Kaede calmly said "well, you have a great journey ahead of you..." Inuyasha could only sigh. Could you really blame him, going on a journey with someone that doesn't even likes him even as a friend is going to be tough and hard journey... Sigh...

At the moment though all Inuyasha wanted was to sleep. It has been a very tiring day for him. For some reason he keeps seeing that strange look in Kagome's eyes. They were full of so much pain, betrayal and heartache. Why? He wasn't sure... Cause all of the stories he heard about Kai and Kagome were that they were in love and that she destroyed the village for the jewel. Other than that he wasn't told much. None of this was making sense... Ok he knew that Kai pinned Kagome to the tree but why? What did Kagome do to deserve this?

He wasn't sure at the moment... at the moment he really just wanted to sleep instead of thinking anymore about this. Finally he layed down and went to sleep. But what he didn't know is that his very question is about to be answered...

Kagome was sitting on a high tree branch. Thinking about how much she was going to hate having to spend all of her time with Inuyasha. This was just great! Spending all her time with a human! Not just any human though Kai's so called reincarnation! How she hated Kai for what he's done! She'll never forgive him! Not for what he's done! Never...

"Oh give me a break... He pinned you to a tree and you have a chance to get ride of him again! Take it! Kill that boy!"
"No, you mustn't! That boy may look like Kai, but he isn't! Kai died 50 years ago and nothing can be done about that..."
It doesn't matter... In order for me to be a full demon I need the jewel so sadly I need that boy to help... Since he's the only one that can sees the shards... Sigh...
"Than as soon as the jewel's yours, kill him..."
"Kill? Why can't we just let him go home? His family must miss him a lot..."
I don't give a damn! Just shut up and leave me alone for once!
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
With those said-er thought of both voices left Kagome'shead for now... Allowing her to go to sleep.

Inuyasha was wondering around. He's never seen this part of the forest before. He's still trying to figure out why he's having these dreams-er his past life's memories going through his head while he sleeps. Cause it's really getting annoying. Than he saw Kai running through the forest holding the Shikon Jewel in his hand. Strange... Why would Kai be running with the jewel in his hands? He can't be running from a demon cause there isn't a demon around...

And he doesn't have any weapons with him at all. What is he planning? Than they came to a open field. Was he waiting for someone? If so than who? Who could he be waiting for? Than Kai calmly said "guess Kagome over slept... She wanted to meet me here with the jewel..."Kai just sighed sadly as he stood there waiting for Kagome to come.

Inuyashathan sensed something coming and fast. What ever it was it was heading toward Kai! Something zipped by and clawed Kai in the shoulder, giving him a deep wound. Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe it. The person who was hovering over Kai was... Kagome... Kagome's foot slammed on Kai's hand as he tried to reach for the jewel.

Kagome smirked as she said "you fool! I have no desire to become human. Thanks for the Shikon Jewel though. See ya."Kai hissed in pain, as he watched Kagome leave. Inuyasha just stared at the retreating Kagome. He had to know what was going on. So he ran close to Kagome and once he had a close look at her face, he couldn't believe it. Her eyes were a blood shot red. These eyes... they didn't belong to Kagome... They belonged to another... Kai was tricked... if that's the truth... than what happened to Kagome?

Inuyasha turned to face Kai as he said "you... was everything you promised... a lie? You... traitor... TRAITOR!!!!!"Inuyasha just couldn't believe it. Someone pretended to be Kagome to trick Kai... Than what happened to Kagome? What made her attack the village? Than Inuyasha saw Kai getting up on his feet and walked back to the village.

Than without even knowing, the dream shifted to where Kai had just came to the village. Screaming Kagome's name with rage, anger, hurt and betrayle. Lunching the arrow it pinned Kagometo the tree, making her go into a deep slumber... forever... or at least was suppose to be forever... Inuyasha couldn't stand here anymore! This was too much for him to handle. Than he saw that Kai, walked up to the jewel... And he saw a younger Kaede running up to him with something covering her eye.

Inuyasha guessed that she lost her eye when she was younger now that he was seeing her with a bandage over her eye and all. Kai was now telling Kaede to take the jewel and burn it with his body. As Inuyasha saw all of this he couldn't help but feel a little bad for Kai. For he died thinking that Kagome betrayed him when it was another demon that did it.

It was just so terrible... He couldn't help but feel his pain... Huh? His pain? No... Inuyasha wasn't just imagining things! He REALLY is feeling Kai's pain! Inuyasha looked at his shoulder and he could see blood. It was the same wound that Kai had received from the fake. No... NO! This couldn't be real! It was Kai that died! It was Kai that had received this wound! Not him! The pain was too much for Inuyasha. He couldn't take it anymore.

The pain... this horrible, horrible pain... It was just too much... No human could handle this pain forever... No one could... All Inuyasha could do was scream in pain which of course woke him up.

Inuyasha woke up with a huge pain in his shoulder. Why was that? When he looked over at his left shoulder he saw a bandage there. Odd... He doesn't remember it being there... How did it get there? Kaede walked in and saw that Inuyasha was up. She calmly asked "are are ye feeling?" Inuyasha looked at her as he said "I'm in pain... But... how? I don't remember getting hurt... What happened?"

Kaede sighed as she sadly said "I'm not sure. Late at night Kagome came in here and saw blood on ye's shoulder. She woke me up and told me. I quickly tended to ye's wounds before they could get worse. Do ye know how they wound appeared?" Inuyasha shook his head as he said "no... I was dreaming... I saw Kai get wounded... After... after I saw him pin Kagome... to the tree... I felt pain in my shoulder... I'm not sure how I got it... But what I do know is that it isn't a dream..."

Kaede just stared at Inuyasha. For some reason his eyes looked much older than he really is... Why was that? Could it be that Kai's soul is responding at all? It was possible, but it's hard to say... Before she could ask anything else Inuyasha fell asleep. Somehow feeling really tired. Kagome heard the whole thing. 'Kai was attacked?'Thought a confused Kagome.

If Kai was attacked... When was he attacked? And who did it? At the moment she wasn't sure but decided to go for a walk. To where, no one knows. Kagome was gone the rest of the night. No one knew where she went and most of them didn't care where she went since she did attack their village all those years ago. Kagome didn't return till morning...

Inuyasha woke up in the morning feeling a lot better. Kaede calmly told him that his clothes should be washed and that he should get cleaned up. So Kaede took Inuyasha to a lake and Inuyasha went to a bush, striped down and dove in the water. All Inuyasha could think about was his family and friends. How were they? How could he get back? Than again he just had to jump in the well.

Than he could get home and pretend that nothing happened. As soon as he surfaced, so he could grab some of the spare clothes that Kaede brought for him to wear. But since he was above water he had a feeling that someone was staring at him. When he looked up he saw a pair of golden eyes staring right at him. And sadly it was Kagome staring at him. Inuyasha screamed "WHAT THE HELL! DON'T YOU KNOW NOT TO LOOK AT PEOPLE WHO ARE BATHING! HEEL!"

With that said Kagome stood up straight and fell over. Inuyasha than disappeared in a bush and started to change. Kaede calmly said "ye two have to learn to work together... Ye can't spend most of ye time fighting." Kagome growled just listening to the old miko. Why did she have to work with a human? It was beyond her. Inuyasha growled at Kagome, the best way a human could growl. He was really pissed at her as he said "I don't need a demon to protect me!"

Kagome turned her head away as she said in a matter of fact tone "yes you do! A human can't protect them self! Cause their weak! And always will be!" When she opened her eyes she saw Inuyasha standing over her, with a glare in his eyes. But that's not what caught her attenchen. It was how he looked right now. He was wearing monks clothing, it was black with red stitching. His hair was pulled back into a low ponytail. As Kagome stared at Inuyasha, a vision of Kai appeared before her.

Inuyasha stared at the shard that he had gotten after Kagome destroyed the demon's head. Sure it was only a shard but it glowed brightly in his hand, just as bright as the jewel when it was whole. Kaede calmly said "I will be back. Some of the villagers have been getting hurt while they slept. I hope ye will behave." And with that Kaede left the young teens alone. Inuyasha could only sigh as he thought about his home. He really wanted nothing more than to return to his own home. But at the moment that might not happen.

Sighing to himself Inuyasha sat down, leaning against a rock as he tookout his sketch book. He calmly thought 'even if I do want to go home... This place gives me great inspiration to draw... Maybe I could use this in my next art class... If I do go back...'So Inuyasha started to draw the waterfall and the small lake. For he had a feeling that this would be a wonderful drawing once it's done. Kagome tried to look over his shoulder but since he could sense her presents so he closed the book and said "how about you mind your own business!"

Kagome growled as she said "FINE! LIKE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT A LOW HUMAN IS DOING!" Kagome than turned around and walked a few steps away. Inuyasha went back to his drawing but since he's looked at it for so long he could draw it with just his memories. Kagome growled as she said "change out of those clothes and wear your normal clothing!" He just stared at the half demon as he said "why! Cause I look like Kai!"

Kagome growled as she screamed out of rage "IT'S CAUSE I CAN'T STAND TO SEE YOU IN THOSE CLOTHES YOU MORON!" Inuyasha sighed a bit as he stood up, stared at the half demon with one of the coldest stares he's ever done. He coldly said "I'm the moron... Who's the one that got sealed away for 50 years? Who was the one who thought I was someone that you onced love? Who was the one that thought I could use a bow! YOU! So how about you think about your words before you say them! GOT THAT KAGOME!"

With that said Inuyasha started walk away. He couldn't stand to be around her anymore. Kagome than yelled out "wait!" Inuyasha turned around and saw Kagome standing before him. All she said was "than give me your jewel shard. I know your going back home. So hand it over." Inuyasha held the small bag that held onto the small shard. All he did was hang on to it, with a smile as he said "you mean this?" Kagome nodded, than the smile on Inuyasha's face disappeared as he screamed "HEEL!"

Kagome's body went ridged and Inuyasha started to walk away. As he walked he said "this shard is coming with me, and your staying here. See ya." Kagome screamed "GET BACK HERE BOY!" Inuyasha glared at her again rom over his shoulder as he said "my name isn't boy. It's Inuyasha got that! See ya." With that said Inuyasha started to head to the forest. As Inuyasha walked, he couldn't help but look at his shoulder. It was in a huge amount of pain and he wasn't sure why.

How can a wound that happened in both his past life and in a dream happen to him in real life? It just didn't seem possible at the moment. Even though the bleeding stopped it still hurts like hell. But he was able to ignore the pain. Hell he's felt a lot worse from all of the sword training he's done. Than Inuyasha looked up in the sky as he thought 'hm... My sword training... I have a feeling that I didn't get to the champinships this year... This sucks since I'm their best player... Sigh'

Than without realising it, he had arrived at the well. When Inuyasha looked down the well he couldn't help but wonder how this well worked. As he stared at the well, Inuyasha could feel a strange presents behind him. As soon as he turned around there was a man standing right behind the confused young man. Who was this guy? Why was he here?

(ok, for anyone who's seen the show I'm just gonna say that Yura isn't going to be in it! I have something else in mind heh heh heh)
The man wore a strange black kimono, short fire red hair and cold black eyes. There was something strange about this man and at the moment Inuyasha wasn't sure what this man wanted. As Inuyasha stared at this man he could plainly see the dark aura around him. Strange though... For some reason he's always been able to see aura but... why has he been able to sense this man's aura when he wasn't looking? Was it possible that just being here...

The man slowly walked up to Inuyasha as he said, no... more like demanded "give me the jewel!" Inuyasha growled the best he could as he said "why should I do that? My instincts are telling me not to trust you so I'm going to trust my instincts on this!" The man than pinned Inuyasha against the well as he said "too bad, I was going to spare your life but sadly you weren't going to cooperate with me. Now I'll take both the jewel and YOUR LIFE!"

Than the man took the small pouch from Inuyasha's neck and jumped away. But when he saw the small shard in there he glared at Inuyasha as he said "how dare you! You shattered the jewel! Where are the other shards?" Inuyasha glared at the man as he said "I don't know, and even if I did know I'd never tell you! JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?" The man laughed as he said "my name is Yukichi. I'm the master of nightmares. Your nightmare was strange though boy. Those memories weren't yours but yet they still belong to you. But anyway, time to die..."

With that said Yukichi made a blade appear and threw it toward Inuyasha's head. Of course Inuyasha backed up only getting a few strains of hair cut. But since he was pinned against the well, Inuyasha fell into the well and disappeared. Yukichi stared into the well as he thought 'why do I have the strangest feeling that... this isn't going to be the last I've seen of him? Ah well... Now to gather the rest of the shards!'

Inuyasha had gone through the well. At least he thinks he did. At the moment he wasn't sure. For all he knew he could still be back in the past. And not be in his own time. Or he could be anywhere. It was just really hard to say. Inuyasha looked up and saw that there was a roof over the well. Maybe he was back in his own time. Back to his home. Where he belonged. Not in the past, no fighting demons. He could just think that it was all a dream. Or that it never happened. And never did.

Than there was a voice saying "I'm telling you grandpa! A creature came out of the well and dragged Inuyasha into it! I'm not lying to you!" A old man calmly said "how could your brother be in this well when he hasn't shown up the last time we checked? It doesn't make sense but if it makes you feel better than I'll look again."

With that said a light shined in the well and the old man couldn't believe it. Inuyasha, his grandson was in the well. Inuyasha was in shock as he said "Souta... Grandpa..." It took a while for them to get Inuyasha out, since it's been a while since they had used the old rope ladder but with it they managed to pull Inuyasha out of the well. When they stood out side of the well house Inuyasha was staring at the sun set. No matter what he just couldn't believe it... He was home...

His grandfather stood behind Inuyasha as he asked "Inuyasha, where have you been? And where did you get those robes?" Inuyasha turned around as he said to the grey haired man "I... I don't know... But I don't want to talk about it..." Souta ran to his big brother saying "Inuyasha! You're back! No one would believe me! That you were pulled into the well but I was scared that you wouldn't come back!"

Inuyasha knelt to his brother as he said "don't worry Souta... I won't leave like that again. And as your big brother I'll help you in any way I can... After all... I'm suppose to protect you." Souta cried more as he said "I thought I would have lost you like how we lost our father!!!!!" Inuyasha held his brother close as he said in a soothing voice "don't worry Souta... I'm not leaving like our father..."

Than they all walked in the house. Inuyasha couldn't help but think about how his brother was crying. That as the first time he cried since their father's death. Their father was killed in a car crash a few years ago and that was when Inuyasha vowed to protect his family from any harm. No matter what he had promised to protect them now and for ever. As long as he was around he'd always watch over them...

Kagome was running through the forest. She was going to look and find that boy, giving him a piece of her mind! Telling her to heel like that! She'd get him back for it! Kagome will make sure of it... When she saw the village over the tree's there was something strange about it. As soon as she landed in the village everyone seemed to have been acting normal. But... there was this weird feeling... Almost as if this wasn't real.

Than Kagome felt the presents coming... But the thing is that it wasn't normal but the presents of a possessed person coming to attack her! Than Kagome jumped out of the way just in time, for a villager was about to attack her. All Kagome could do was stare at the villagers as they all stared to surround her. This was very strange... Why would they surround her. But the strangest thing was that... well their eyes were closed and that it looked like they were in pain.

Why did they look like they were in pain? Was that possible? Well sure people could get nightmares but still walking around like they know where their going? That doesn't seem possible... Than again since she woke up nothing was starting to make sense. Not in the least. But the thing that was getting her attention was the weapons that they were holding.

All Kagome could do was smirk as she said in a cocky tone "so, you want a fight? Hey I ain't going to complain!" When she was about to attack, there was a voice saying "Kagome... don't!" Kagome turned around and saw Kaede, laying on the ground, with a bleeding shoulder. The only thing Kagome could do was, jump to Kaede and ask "what happened to you?" Kaede calmly said "the villagers are being controlled. A demon is controling them through their dreams!"

Kagome stared at all of the villagers. She knew that she couldn't fight back since they weren't doing it on purpose. So there was nothing that the young half demon could do about it. So Kagome did the only thing that she could. And that was to get Kaede out of there. Kagome picked up Kaede and ran. That was the only thing she could do. As Kagome ran she calmly said "so what's with the villagers? You said something about them being controlled by their dreams right?"

Kaede calmly said "yes. Who ever it is, is after the jewel. But the only people that can't be controlled by this demon is me, you and Inuyasha. The only thing that will work is his power of dreams. What ever happens in the dream will happen to them in real life." Kagome nodded as she said "well.. I might as well as do something for you."

Now you see Kagome burying Kaede in the ground. The wound to her shoulder was pretty bad so the only thing that Kagome could do was burry her. (oh god you're going to love this! I heard this in Inuyasha abridged ep 3. It was so funny!) Kaede opened her eyes as she asked "why are you burying me?" Kagome than started to put leaves on Kaede as she said "sorry, can't hear you. Dead people don't talk."

When Kagome stood up, Kaede help her hand out as she said "Kagome..." Kagome turned around as she said in a sarcastic tone "ah! It's a zombie! Run away!" With that Kagome ran off. Kaede could only say one thing at this moment... "dammit..."

Kagome was running faster than she ever has before. There was only one thing that she could do. And it was from what Kaede had said, only people with sacred power can stop this demon. Which sucks for Kagome cause this means that she has to get Inuyasha. Oh joy... As soon as she reached the well, Kagome could still faintly smell Inuyasha's scent. And it disappeared into the well. With that thought in mind. Kagome jumped into the well, disappearing into Inuyasha's world.
