InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Everything Makes Mistakes ❯ Down the Well and Up to Hell! Or Maybe Just the Wrong Time? ( Chapter 1 )

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

-----Everything Makes Mistakes!-----

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone here. Other than Fillie and Jouna, of course. Please don't steal them...you can ask to use them and I'll say yes or no, but don't steal them, please. I love them both very much. Suteishi is property of my best friend, Stacey. Anyway, if you sue me for anyone else, all you'll get is a side-story for this fic and an unfinished chapter.

A/N: Contain OCs, but no self-insertion. If you hate OCs, I'm really sorry but I can't have Inu-Yasha wandering around all by himself, can I? And the OC with Sango, etc. is important later on...There will be dark undertones in one or two chapters. I will have warnings so you won't have to read it if you like...those characters. There will also be a lime scene, written by my cousin Ryker! Later on, though. There will be a warning.



+Down the Well and Up to Hell! Or Maybe Just the Wrong Time?+

Inu-Yasha stormed toward the well. Despite his aching back, he managed to reach the edge of the well and was just about to jump in when Kagome's voice reached his ears, shouting apologies. They had been in a huge arguement again, resulting in six or seven consecutive "sit"s.

"Inu-Yasha! Wait! Why do you ALWAYS have to take the easy wait out of this and run away?!"

"Better than sticking around here," Inu-Yasha shrugged. He felt her hand on his shoulder. Her voice was a whisper.

"Please don't go." He shrugged her off and jumped into the well.

"WAIT! INU-YASHAAAAAAA!"

~*~

THUD! Ow. Had the well always been this hard? The young hanyou opened his eyes. Something was...different. He could smell it. His hands ran across the well's walls. No vines. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo's scents were all gone.

"No! Let me GO! I MEAN IT!"

The pup's ears twitched. The call of a young...he sniffed. Human female. He jumped up with speed only he could manage (once that damned wolf Kouga gave up his Shikon shards, that is). The young girl was close. In fact, he could see her clearly along with her attacker. He had her by the arm and she was stuggling to get away. He had to do something. He flexed his claws and launched himself, slashing the man just so. The man fell, his wound bleeding freely. He wouldn't die, but he would be unconcious for a while. He smirked.

"She said to let go. Next time, listen." He looked at the girl. "Are you oka-"

"JOUNA!" The young girl screamed, staring wide-eyed at the body. "Wh...wha...what did you do to him?!"

"Wait a sec. I just sav-"

"KISAMA!"

"H...heel," muttered the unconcious boy, the pup observing that he was only in his teens, not yet an adult. The girl collapsed with an "OH SHIT!" and slowly stood again, though rather shakily.

"I just heard you calling for help. I helped you, bitch. You should be thanking me!" Inu-Yasha "explained", noting the prayer beads looping her neck.

"I need...help fr...from NO ONE!" She launched herself at him with speed that wasn't human. Something brushed against his sensitive nose. Something that smelled so familiar...like a kitsune youkai. She landed gently on her bare feet, human-looking as ever. She took a deep breath, walking over to the one called "Jouna", and carried him away on her back. She growled, "You're not worth my time."

"H...hey! Wait!" The oh-so-adorable dog hanyou went after her. "Where are we exactly?"

"Inu-Yasha Forest. It's a shortcut to the village. Go away."

Of course, Inu-Yasha didn't listen. He began pestering the small girl with questions, sounding very much like Shippo to himself. The small girl, however, didn't reply.

"Listen to me when I'm asking a question, wench." The girl stopped.

"I have a name."

"Feh! You speak as if I care."

The young girl cracked. She spun around to face him. "Go jump in a well, asshole!" She screamed. She looked almost demon when she was mad.

[i]That's right...[/i] Inu-Yasha thought. [i]If I jump back into the Bone Eater's Well, I'll go back to Kagome's time. Why didn't I think of it?[/i]

"H...hey! Where, pray tell, are you going?" She asked him, watching him turn around and walk away.

"...I gotta jump in a well."

"I WASN'T SERIOUS! YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME GET JOUNA TO THE WHITE YOUKAI! THIS IS YOUR FAULT, REMEMBER?!" Of course, she knew he wasn't listening. So she went after him. She leaned Jouna against the Go Shinboku Tree. "Protect him, Artemis, with your power of a huntress to ward of those who mean harm. Guide him, Apollo. If he should wake and need me by his side, let him see the sun shining down in my direction."

Inu-Yasha perched himself on the well. The small girl was watching, he knew. Without hesitation and a sharp gasp from the girl, he stood, almost catlike, with careful balance.

Without warning, he jumped and...

~*~

Kagome stared at the well and hung her head. "D...Damn you, Inu-Yasha!" She considered going after him, but then a smirk played on her lips. Let him suffer a bit. Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kaede would eventually talk him into getting her. She would wait. She walked toward her room and began on her homework.

"Kagome! Dinner!" Came her mother's voice.

Kagome was eating in the silence when suddenly, an omnious feeling came over her. She finished eating and walked toward the well in a daze. Something had happened to Inu-Yasha. But WHAT?

~*~

The two humans and the two youkai watched the well expectantly. Sango held Kirara in her lap, careful to keep an eye on Miroku. Shippo rarely took his eyes from the well. Two seconds later, an exception was made.

"Someone's here," the kitsune youkai said, looking up. Sango and Miroku stood and gripped their weapons of choice. Kirara transformed and growed. A girl no older than the last taijiya of her village (other than Kohaku) approached with an uncertain smile.

"Um...hello?" She said. One quick sniff told Shippo she didn't have demon blood. A human. How boring. (No...that's Fluffy's personality. Oh yeah. My bad.) The two humans watched her.

"Identify yourself," the houshi said.

The young woman smiled. "Suteishi. It's a pleasure, truly."

After watching her to be sure she did not pose a threat, Miroku approached her and took her hands. Suteishi looked confused, Shippo rolled his eyes and returned his attention to the well, and Sango looked nothing short of annoyed...or maybe pissed off?

"Will you bear my child?" Suteishi blushed. "Please?" Sango decided not to listen.

"Anything with the well?"

"Not yet," the youkai said. 'Dammit, Inu-Yasha. Where are you? You were supposed to come back with Kagome hours ago...'

~*~

...and cursed loudly as he landed none too gently on the well's bottom. Dammit! He was still in that little girl's time! She peered in.

"Are...you okay?"

"Feh!"

"I'll say that's a 'yes'," the girl muttered, rolling her eyes.

"Why should a human like you care, anyway?" All of a sudden, the scent of the girl came clearly for a split second. After which, it had been overpowered by the smell of anger, fear, sadness, and blood. He looked up at her, sighed, and said softly, his voice echoing in the well, "Stop that. You'll bite that lip bloody all over."

She nodded and suddenly, as she went to help him from the well, asked,"If I as a human am so...worthless, why do you follow me?"

"Someone's gotta protect you. After Kagome, you'll be easy," he smirked. The young girl rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be so sure." Just like that, no questions asked. She headed back toward Jouna where he was transported to the young girl's back once more.

"You...never told me your name," Inu-Yasha pointed out.

[i]Oh, so [b]NOW[/b] he cares.[/i] "Fillie."

He had read a few of Kagome's "Litture" books as well as a he could and remembered that a "fillie" was what was once the name for "girl"...or something. Or...would be. Or was in this time? "I asked your name, not what you are."

She looked confused at the statement but decided against asking. The girl bit her lip again. "Promise you won't laugh?" Inu-Yasha nodded. She took a deep breath. "Filipeus. I was named for a local legend of gods and goddesses by my mother. She loves...LOVED those kind of things. But now that she's gone, the village kids I used to play with tease me for my name and who-...what I am. It hurts to know my mother so loved my name, so my closest friends-" She nodded to Jouna, meaning that by "closest friends", she meant him...and maybe a few others she wasn't in a hurry to mention. "-started calling me Fillie to make me feel better."

Inu-Yasha looked at her. "What...you are? What are you?"

Once again, she ignored his questions. "So...What's your name, pup?"

He glared at her. He HATED being called a pup. He decided to answer, anyway. "Inu-Yasha."

"How fitting," Fillie said, continuing her hike through the forest, not quite making the connection between the Forest's name and the young man's name. Said young man figured she was just too preoccupied to notice.

"So where are we going again?" Inu-Yasha asked. He had heard something about youkai, but hadn't heard all of it.

"Well, since we're almost there...we're going to the White Youkai," she said, her eyes unfocused and never leaving what was right in front of her. "He was originally called this because damn near everything he wears is white, his hair is white, though he is young and handsome, and he's very pale for a man his age. Later, he began using his healing sword to help the sick and dying villagers, which made him seem...pure, I guess. So now the title "White Youkai" means "Pure Demon" to us rather than just a youkai clad in white. Jouna is beaten up pretty badly. He will help."

"A sword that heals...?" Inu-Yasha looked at her. Everything she had described sounded so familiar. It was just a coincidence. It had to be. He would NEVER help a human, save for that Rin child.

"Hai. Some, especially his assistant, a beautiful woman about his age, say that it, when it is using its true power, can revive 100 lives with just one swing. It's really a sword of beauty, that Tenseiga."

So? Like it? Hate it? Want the next chapter? TOO BAD! MWAHAHA! But, if the next chapter's not up Sunday, it'll be a Dead Cory Day (Yes, I stole that from MegaTokyo. Sue me. No. Wait! Please don't!) and I will have a side-story. It will just be Fillie and Jouna (I'm sorry, I just love the way there characters came out.). Oh yeah! How do you like Fillie? Jouna's personality will be revealed later. And what about the little of Suteishi? I promise, next chapter is Sango, Miroku, etc. No Fillie, IY, Jouna, or anyone. And what about the White Youkai?! We'll find out in their next chapter!
