The light of the well faded leaving the two kitsunes in the past. Shippo quickly climbed out of the well and ran in the direction of Keade's village while Kagome shouldered her pack. It didn't take long for Shippo to realize that he wasn't in the feudal era. The plant life was unlike anything he had ever seen especially the tree that was dripping saliva.

 

Kagome had just finished climbing out of the well when she heard Shippo's scream of terror. It took only seconds to arrive where Shippo had last been only to find no sign of the missing kit. “Momma!” Kagome looked up to see her kit hanging from the jaws of a tree by the back of his shirt. “LET HIM GO!” Kagome screamed at the tree charging it with her newly acquired claws. The tree release Shippo and tried to swallow Kagome only to have it's mouth ripped The tree let loose an ghastly shriek before al its mouths dove for Kagome. Shippo screamed as he saw the swarming limbs completely cover his adopted mother.

 

In a more normal tree nearby the male kitsune that had attempted to steal the Shikon stood watching as Kagome was eaten alive by the tree. “She is but another victim of the Death Tree.” The male turned and was beginning to leave when the tree exploded covering every inch of the clearing in smelly goo including Youko. In the middle of the clearing stood Kagome's trembling form. Shippo ran to his mother so glad that she was alive only to stop at her feet and wrinkle his nose. “Momma, you smell really bad.” Kagome could only blink at the young kit leave it to a child to be brutally honest.

 

“I agree she seems to need a bath.” Kagome and Shippo's heads jerked up to look at Youko standing on a branch high above the ground. Youko was impressed few ever escaped the Death Tree alive and no one had ever escaped the tree with out at least missing an appendage. Youko leap from his limb to land in front of Kagome causing her to stumble backwards. “WH-who are you?” Kagome asked looking at the gunk covered Youko, she might have noticed that she had meet him just two days before had his white hair and clothes not been blood red. Youko flicked his arms trying to rid them of the tree's remains unfortunately it didn't work.
