Chapter 1
They walked along the forest path silently, each seemingly deep in thought. They were an interesting pair.
The smaller one was a woman, obviously human, with slight curves and petite features. She had long black hair, reaching down toward the middle of her back and large, soul full brown eyes. She wore a short green skirt paired with a white top with green trim. She was beautiful in a happy, innocent way.
Walking to the side of the young woman was a tall, handsome youth. He was thin, but it was obvious he was strong by the way he carried the oversized yellow backpack in his hands. He was wearing a fire red haori and a sword with a much worn hilt at his hip. He had long, shining silver hair, and miraculous amber eyes. The sharp claws on his fingers and dog ears on top of his head signified him as hanyou.
“What do you think happened to them?” the girls asked the figure beside her, pretty features marred by a frown.
“I can't tell Kagome,” said Inuyasha distractedly, “I smell blood though, coming from the direction of the well.”
They had been looking for their companions for three days, ever since they had left the camp to scout out a safer and more comfortable place to stay the night. When Sango, Miroku, and Shippo didn't come back when they said they would, Kagome and Inuyasha went to look for them. They couldn't be found anywhere in the area, and Kagome suggested tat they go back to Kaede's village and ask her if she had any thoughts on what course of action should be taken. Kaede thought that Naraku might be the reason behind the disappearance of the tajiya, monk, and kitsune, and so now Kagome and Inuyasha were looking for Naraku. So far, they had no luck.
“The well?” Kagome asked puzzled. No one even went near the well, save herself and Inuyasha, and then only to go to Kagomes era for some necessary test or supplies.
“Yes, that is what I said!” Inuyasha snapped
“Osuwari.”
“Oy! What was that for wench?!” Inuyasha yelled accusingly at Kagome.
“You don't need to take that tone with me. I am just as concerned as you are, even if you don't like to show it. If we are going to find them, we have to work together!” Kagome stated angrily.
“Feh,” was her only reply, though Inuyasha had mellowed considerably.
The pair continued walking in silence and soon came up to a clearing, usually empty of anything except an old well in the center, but today a lone person stood beside the well, gazing calmly into its depths.
Inuyasha's ayes suddenly widened and quickly told to Kagome to get behind him, all the while drawing his sword and lowering into a defensive stance
“Oh Inuysha, how nice of you to finally join me,” said the figure by the well in a deep, sinister voice,” I was just having a pleasant chant with you companions, and now I get to meet you. What a wonderful day this is turning out to be.”
“What did you do to our friends?!” Inuyasha demanded, brandishing his sword dangerously.
“I did nothing,” Naraku said with a grotesque smile, “We were just playing a little game. They hid, and if I found them I would kill them. It was a shame though we didn't get to finish our game. You see, they jumped into this well here. No doubt they are lying dead on the bottom.”
Kagome was shocked. `Why did they jump into the well? They knew it would only work for me and Inuyasha.'
“You're lying!” Inuyasha exclaimed.
“Oh I assure you, I am not lying,” Naraku said, still wearing that grotesque smile.
Inuyasha didn't want to believe, couldn't believe, that such a thing had happened to his friends. He suddenly couldn't hold back anymore and charged. Before he was halfway to Naraku, he collapsed in excruciating pain.
Kagome gasped an expression of pure horror on her face. Naraku had impaled Inuyasha with a tentacle, straight through the stomach. She saw Inuyasha pause for a moment, swaying slightly, before collapsing. Kagome rushed towards him, wanting desperately to do something, to help, but she already knew it would be no use. He was already dead. One hit from Naraku, and Inuyasha was dead.
Greif hit Kagome so suddenly, in full force, and she wanted to lie down next to Inuyasha and die with him, but that wouldn't help anyone. She had to avenge his death. She had to kill Naraku for Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Inuyasha, and all the other people whose lives were destroyed because of him. But she wouldn't let her thirst for vengeance take over either. She wasn't near strong enough yet to kill him. He had destroyed Inuyasha in one hit; Kagome definitely wouldn't present a challenge.
Kagome stood up suddenly and made a dash for the well. She wasn't fast enough. Naraku grabbed her wrist hard and pulled her towards himself. When she resisted, he gripped hr arm tighter and a sickening crunch was heard as Kagome arm broke under the pressure. Kagome cried out, but still tried to resist, but her strength was failing fast. He was too powerful for her. She gave in to him finally and Naraku pulled Kagome up close to him.
Kagome was searching frantically for some means of escape, but there were none. “Now you are mine, miko. There is no possible way for you to escape and no one able to save you.”
She had to distract him somehow. Her bow and arrows she had foolishly left at Kaede's hut thinking that Inuyasha would be able to help her if anything went wrong, and even if she did have her weapons, it would be unlikely that they would help much in this situation. There was only thing she could, but it was risky and she didn't even know if it would work.
Kagome lifted her uninjured arm and placed her hand in the center of his forehead. Before Naraku had a chance to react or catch on to what she was doing, she blasted him with as much purifying energy as she could. Naraku released Kagome and reeled back, grasping his forehead in agony. Kagome took this chance to escape and made another dash for the well. Naraku lashed out at her with his tentacles, creating two large gashes, one on her upper right arm and left thigh.
Kagome cried out against the pain but pushed herself forward. Reaching the well, she threw herself over the edge. In her weakness and relief in getting away, she barely noticed that the light coming from the well was yellow instead of the usual blue.
Kagome felt her feet hit solid ground and grabbed the rungs of the ladder and began climbing. The effort was almost too much, as she was already weak from her wounds, but she forced herself to continue. She needed to get help.
She reached the top after a climb that seemed more like hours rather than the half a minute or so it actually was. She climbed out of the well and sat on the lip of the well to rest. While she rested she looked around. What she saw was not the familiar, dusty inferior of the well house, but trees.
Before slipping into unconsciousness Kagome had a brief glimpse of four, shocked faces.
Well, there's the fist chapter. I'm probably going to go through it and edit it later, but this is it for right now.
