Chapter one: Forgetting Me
“Kagome! Watch out!” Inuyasha yelled, but it was too late. The blast of power was already heading straight for Kagome. It hit her head on, knocking her into the well. She disappeared in a flash of blue.
“Ku kuku, Inuyasha! It seems that I have taken both the women you love. “Naraku said.
“Naraku you bastard! I'll kill for what you've done to Kagome,” Inuyasha yelled, charging at Naraku.
”Wind Scar!“ He yelled. It went right towards Naraku, but right before it hit, Naraku opened a portal and stepped in.
“Ha ha-ha, Inuyasha did you really think I would be defeated so easily?” Naraku's voice filled the clearing that had once contained the Bone-eater's well.
“Naraku get back here you bastard and fight me like a man!” Inuyasha yelled.
“Fear not Inuyasha, for the day will come when we fight. But today is not that day. Until then, be glad that I've let you live another day . . . ” Naraku's voice faded in to nothing.
Inuyasha fell to his knees with tears steaming down his face as he looked to the spot where the well used to be. All that was left of the well was bits and pieces of wood that had survived the attack. Miroku, Sango, and Shippo came into the clearing on Kirara.
“Inuyasha, we heard an explosion from the village and came to investigate, what has happened?” Miroku asked him. Inuyasha didn't look up from his position on the ground as he explained what had occurred.
“Kagome's not dead, you're lying!” Shippo cried. His mother couldn't be dead. It was just some trick Inuyasha was trying to play on them, it had to be. Any minute now Kagome was going to come out from some bush or something and surprise them all. Then they where all going to have a good laugh . . . Weren't they ?
“I'm not lying Shippo, do you think I would lie about something like this?” Inuyasha said his voice raising “Look around brat, do you see the well anywhere; Do you smell Kagome?!” he finish yelling.
`Inuyasha enough, Shippo is just a child! We can not expect him to accept this so soon, this is a great lost to us all,” Miroku told him. Even thought on the outside he was calm on the inside he was just as distressed as the rest of the group.
“She's not dead.” Shippo said once more.
“Shippo you have to understand—.” Miroku began but Shippo interrupted him.
“No! Inuyasha said she was by the Well when he hit her, how do you know that she didn't fall in the Well before it could hit her all the way. Maybe, maybe she's on the other side. Since there isn't a body, she MUST be on the other side!” Shippo said, tears swelling in his eyes.
They all looked sadden, but could understand his little theory. He was only a child and couldn't understand logic.
“Shippo,” Sango started to say, but stopped as he started to plead with them.
“Please, can we just try and see if that happened?” He asked them, looking from one to the other. “Can't we just try?” He said.
“Sure Shippo, but don't get your hopes up, that is never a good thing when it might not work out the way you planned “ Miroku told him.
“Okay guys lets get to work “ Inuyasha said standing up only to fall back down unconscious .Weak from the battle.
“Inuyasha !!” They yelled in union. Rushing towards the unconscious hanyou.
“Is he alright?” Sango asked.
“Yes, He just needs some rest. Come, let's take him back to Kaeda and have her check him over.” Miroku said.
“Okay,” Sango said while she helped pick him up and putting him on Kirara.
With Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru had been walking through the forest when he came across a well. Thinking nothing of it, he turned to leave, when suddenly there was a flash of blue from it.
Curious about what had happened, he walked towards the well and looked inside. There inside the well was a girl. Out of sheer curiosity, Sesshomaru jumped inside the well and took in the girl's appearance. Her body her body had burns and cuts on it, and on her head there was a cut very close to the temple. Reaching down, Sesshomaru checked the girls plus. It was there but weak. She would need help.
`Damn I really wish I hadn't found now her here like this . . . I can't believe that I'm honor bound to help the wench, and I don't even know her!' Sesshomaru thought. (A/n: Just on the off chance you don't know Kagome is 500 years deeper into the past okay get it, got it, good ) `Maybe I should just take her to some human village . . . That way I won't have to deal with her.'
(Hehehehe you can't do that and you know it)
`Oh Kami, not you again. I thought I locked you away years ago.'
(Well you thought wrong my friend! Back to the topic of the girl, you must make sure she is fully healed before you can leave her again.)
`Why? She will be healed in a human village.'
(No, she won't even live a day with them. She has immortal wounds, so you must take her to a demon healer! You have to be as dim as a rock to not know that!)
`And what Demon could we possibly use to heal this girl?'
(Hn, Why don't ya try that old hag , Tenmai?)
`The kitsune demon?'
(Yes)
`Hn, fine'
Gently picking up the girl, Sesshomaru jumped up and out of the well. Calling his demon cloud (What the hell is that called again? Forget it, we'll just call it his Yuki Cloud). He made his way swiftly towards Tenmai's home. Traveling through the forest, he came upon what looked to be a shrine. Stopping at the shrine's door, he knocked on it commandingly. He heard swearing inside before the door was opened to reveal a little old lady who had fox ears on her had and a Long orange and white tipped tail. Tenmai had an irritated look on her face when she looked at Sesshomaru.
“Now, just who the hell are you and what do you want? I'm busy you know and I don't have time to deal with fools!” Tenmai said. Sesshomaru just raised an eyebrow at her words as if to say `Are you seriously talking to me like that?'
“Listen here you old hag, you will not talk to this Sesshomaru like that, I am here so that you can heal this girl,” Sesshomaru told her. Tenmai looked at him as if he had grown a second head, then to the girl in his arms. She was greatly injured, some of her wounds were fatal if they where not seen to immediately.
“How exactly did she get like this?” Tenmai asked, his earlier words forgotten.
“I do not know, I found the wench at the bottom of a well,” He told her.
”Hn , this way come along now we have work to do if you want this girl to do if you want this girl to live the night“ Tenmai said. As she walked into the shrine. Sesshomaru followed her into a room. The room was dark it had but a single candle to light it.
“Lay her down“ Tenmai said. She once again checked over Kagome. Then went over to a desk and pulled out a small dagger. Before going over to Kagome She turned to Sesshomaru with an eyebrow raised. Sesshomaru just looked back at her with the same brow raised. Getting irritated she snapped at Sesshomaru.
“Well ?…” Tenmai asked.
“ Well what ?" Sesshomaru replied
“ Get out!" Tenmai told him. Sesshomaru just raised his eyebrow higher .
“Why would I do that?” Sesshomaru questioned her.
“Because YOU are not her mate and it would be improper for you to see her in this state of undress." Tenmai told him. Sesshomaru made a sound that sounded suspiciously like a snort.
“Like that wench has anything appealing to This Sesshomaru.” He replied.
“That's what they ALL say, but I know the truth." Tenmai muttered. "I don't care if she all the goodies in the world or not, you WILL leave this room and let me do my work.” She said.
“Whatever, just make sure she doesn't die," Was all Sesshomaru said before he walked out.
