Kagome's feet gently touched down on the bottom of the well. Like a cat, she quickly climbed the ladder her grandfather had placed inside the well for her. She ran to her house,
"Mama? Souta? Grampa?" she called out.
"Oh. Hi, sis." Souta said, as he emerged from the kitchen.
"Souta, where's mama and grampa?"
"Mama's at the store and gramps is at an antique auction. They should both be back soon. Hey, what's that arrow for?"
"It has poison on the tip. It felled one of my friends. I need to find an antidote."
"Wow. It wasn't Inuyasha, was it?"
"No, it was Sango."
"Oh, ok. So where is Inuyasha?"
"He stayed behind." Kagome replied, then turned to go upstairs to her room,
'I know Inuyasha feels guilty about what happened. Heck, I feel guilty about what happened. I'm only 16 years old!' her mind raced as she walked into her bedroom and flopped on the bed, dropping the arrow on the floor, 'I can't believe last night occured. I'm no longer a virgin and I'm not married ... well, I guess I am sorta married ... Sango told me that demons don't have marriage ceremonies like humans do ... so I guess, in the demon way, I am Inuyasha's wife.'
Kagome rolled onto her stomach, placed her arms under her pillow and squeezed,
'I've started to realize that one day I would have to choose between one world or the other ... I guess I've made my decision. Inuyasha can't possibly live in my world ... but I can live in his.', her mind drifted back to the night before, 'I can't deny I enjoyed last night. Yes, it was rough, but, then, so is Inuyasha. His lovemaking style is just like his fighting style ... but he was also full demon. I wonder what it will be like when he's just a hanyou ... or even when he's human. At least my first time was with Inuyasha ... that makes me very happy.' she sighed, happily, 'Yes. I am very happy. Inuyasha was my first and I was his first.'
Kagome began to doze off to sleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Master." a voice called out from the forest.
"Xin Yun. You've arrived. So, do you have anything on that strange priestess?' asked Ryouya.
"It's strange, master. There's an old well outside the village where they stay. Inuyasha walked her to that well and she jumped in ... a bluish light appeared and then she was gone. Inuyasha then walked away."
Ryouya looked at the creature like he had gone mad, "An old well, you say? Hmmm ... very interesting. I guess I should check this out for myself. Take me there, Xin Yun."
"Yes, master. Right away."

"My lord, you should not be getting up so soon. Your injuries are still pretty serious."
Genichi rubbed his head as he stood up and wobbled from dizziness,
"Never mind that, Taromaru. Gather my horse and some of my men. I must find this Kaede woman and her village. I must destroy that dog and save my fair Kagome from his treachery.
"Hai, master." the young man said, turning around to leave and do his master's bidding.
Genichi slowly walked down the steps and headed to his father's war room. Walking in, he noticed his father, a formidable general, was finishing up orders to is troops,
"And, one last thing gentlemen, the villages that refuse to pay their taxes for protection will supply us with women in exchange."
"Hai!" the men agreed.
"That is all." the general stated, then, "Ahh, Genichi, so good to see you up and around."
"Father, I must take leave of you for some time. I must destroy the cur that did this to me and find and rescue the fair priestess that Tsukiko gave shelter to during the typhoon."
"My son, I understand your need for retribution. Is this priestess worth it?"
"Yes, father. I am in love with her."
"That was quick, my son. You barely know her."
"I know enough, father."
"HmHm. Does she love you?"
At this Genichi turned his head, "This cur, a half-breed dog demon, claims she is his. It disgusts me to think that any demon, and especially a low-life halfling, would consider such a pure maiden his. She claims to be just friends with him, however."
"You feel this priestess would make a suitable wife for you, my son?"
"Yes. I know you have been after me to marry for some time ... I know this should please you and mother."
"I do want to see you married and with an heir."
"Hai, father." Genichi turned to go, "One more thing, father. Do you know a village with a headwoman named Kaede?"
"Kaede, you say? Not a headwoman, no. But, there is a powerful priestess named Kaede in a village on the southside of Musashi. The hamlet is quite poor, I'm afraid. Why do you ask, my son?"
"Because Lady Kagome urged the cur to take her to Kaede's village."
"Oroichi knows where this village is. I will send him with you."
"Arigato, father." Genichi said, then left.

I nuyasha lazed high in the go-shinboku, enjoying a reprieve from the late-day heat. His mind drifted to Kagome and last night,
'She said she enjoyed it. But, I was brutal with her. Is that what mating is? Is it supposed to be brutal? No, she said she had expected her first time to be gentler ... damn ... I wish I knew what to do.' he sighed, 'I mated her. I disgraced her. Humans have these elaborate ceremonies. Sango and Miroku are going to have a ceremony when Sango recovers. I mated her without one of those ceremonies. Is it really mandatory? Can we have a ceremony now? She said she's stay with me as my mate ... she'll be shunned enough just for being my mate ... will the humans in Kaede's village shun her because we mated before we had a ceremony?' Inuyasha sighed again. So many questions and no one to ask for answers, 'Maybe Kagome can give me some answers when she returns. Things are different in her world Maybe she'll know.'
Inuyasha closed his eyes and was about to drift off to sleep, with images of Kagome swimming in his head, when,
"SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!"
SLAP!
< /b> Inuyasha slapped his cheek,
"Ma .... sster ... Inu ... yasha ... I ... was ... worried ... about ... you."
"So, Myouga. Where the hell have you been?"
Myouga returned to his unflattened state,
"Searching for you, master."
"Right. Myouga, has anything strange been going on out in the lands of Musashi or anywhere else, for that matter?"
"Strange, sire?"
"Yea. Sango was struck by an arrow with poison on the tip and Miroku's kazaana has returned. Has Naraku been revived?"
"I have not heard anything, master."
"Lotta help you are."
"I try, master."
"Wait! Maybe you can help, Myouga."
"Huh? What?"
Inuyasha hopped down from the tree and ran into Kaede's hut. His friends looked up at him questioningly. Inuyasha opened his palm,
"Myouga, can you help Sango?"
The flea hopped over to the unconcious demon slayer,
"You say she was poisoned, master?"
"Yea."
"I will try."
Myouga latched onto Sango's neck and began to suck, engorging himself until he was about Shippou's size. Falling off of Sango's neck, he rolled into the cornor to sleep it off,
"That's all I can do, master."
"Her breathing is speeding up!" Miroku exclaimed, kneeling by her side, "Thank you, Myouga."
Sure enough, Sango's breathing increased and she began to moan softly. She still remain unconcious though.
"It is an improvement." Mushin acknowledged and the others agreed.
Inuyasha looked past the bamboo reed doorway and thought, 'Hurry back Kagome.'
