Kagome landed with a hard thud.

She threw her huge yellow backpack over the edge of the well before she began the long process of climbing out.

When she finally made it to the top, Inuyasha helped her out.

"Thanks." she said breathlessly, wiping her forehead with the back of her hand.

When they were back at kaede's hut, shippou dug into her bag.

"Hey, Kagome, what's this?" The little kitsune held up a patched and sown together doll.

It had red hair and haunting eyes.

She shrugged off it's creepy gaze and told him he could keep it if he wanted it.

"What's his name?" shippou asked, holding the doll before him.

"I think it's Chucky." kagome said, turning back to her conversation with Sango.

Kaede came back a few moments later, carrying bundles of herbs.

"Hey, Kaede, Look what Kagome brought me!" Shippou cried, jumping in front of the old miko.

Kaede backed away from the kitsune, a horrid look on her face.

She backed out of the hut and out into the sunset.

She turned and half ran away, into the woods.

Kagome looked at the old woman as she retreated.

"What got into her?" Inuyasha whispered in her ear.

Kagome and Sango shrugged.

"No clue." she said.

A few hours later, they went to bed, the doll against the wall.

Kaede was leaning against the god tree, her breath was heaving as she watched the darkness for any signs of movement.

Suddenly a small figure, about shipppou's height, stepped out into the clearing and into the haunting half-moonlight.

"Stay away!" Kaede shouted, shaking.

"Let's play!" came the haunting male voice.

an murderous voice.

in it's hand glinted the sharp silver of a knife.

"No!" Kaede breathed, falling over a root.

"It's playtime!" The figure giggled, jumping on top of her.

-----

Kaede never returned.

Kagome woke at sunrise to find the doll staring at her from across the room.

She woke inuyasha and asked him to go with her to find kaede.

Inuyasha followed his nose.

They walked into the clearing, coming into view.

kagome broke down in inuyasha's arms.

Peices of Kaede were hanging from the tree like robin's treasures tied with vines.

They screamed, scrambling from the clearing.

Miroku backed away, his breath coming in short pants as he turned and ran.
