InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Future ❯ Fix the Well! ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter One:

 

 

"You know you really should go and talk to her," Sango said.

 

 

"Yes, an apology would be very appropriate in this situation," Miroku put in. "You seem to have

angered her worse than the time when Koga appeared."

 

 

"Feh," Inuyasha said crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't gotta say nothin' to that wench ."

 

 

"Go!" Sango and Miroku yelled him in unison, their eyes practically burning holes in his head.

 

 

"I'm goin' I'm goin'," he muttered and jumped into the Bone Eater's Well.

 

 

Inuyasha emerged from the well seconds later, only now, in Kagome's time. He sighed as he walked out of the well house, walking across the lawn with long strides. When he reached her front door, he pounded on it with his fist and stopped abruptly when it was opened by Sota.

 

 

"Hey Inuyasha! You here to see my sis? She was really mad when she came home. Did you guys have a fight?"

 

 

"Feh, just let me in and shut up !" he muttered and pushed passed the boy as he made his way through the front hall to the stairs.

 

 

He ran up the stairs on all fours, very much like a dog, though he would never admit it. Once up the stairs he rushed over to Kagome's bedroom and grabbed the doorknob, turning it to the left as Kagome had taught him. It opened soundlessly and he slid inside, shutting it softly behind him. He looked up and his jaw dropped at the sight that stood before him.

 

 

Kagome had obviously taken a shower as she called it and apparently hadn't expected anyone to walk in on her while she was dressing...

 

 

"Ka..."

 

 

"Gah!" Kagome yelled in surprise, pulling her towel back up over her body. "I-Inuyasha what are you doing here?" she asked, her cheeks reddening.

 

 

"Sango and Miroku forced me to come and get you," he said, trying to recollect himself.

 

 

"Oh," she said narrowing her eyes. Of course he wouldn't come on his own to get her, now would he?

 

 

"Hurry up and get some clothes on," he said, trying to focus on her bedroom floor. "We got shard hunting to do!"

 

 

"Inuyasha s-"

 

 

Instantly he was in front of her, his hand clamped over her mouth.

 

 

"Don't you dare say that! It's not my fault you decided to strip!"

 

 

He yelped in pain as her teeth suddenly came down on his hand and instantly pulled it away from her mouth.

 

 

"Sit boy!" she yelled and he slammed into her floor. She knew she wouldn't be able to do it any more because he would make a hole.

 

 

Inuyasha groaned and lifted his head and smiled when he saw he had a very nice view up her towel.

 

 

Kagome saw where his eyes traveled and jumped backwards.

 

 

"G-Get out of here!" she screamed and he climbed up off of her floor, mentally smacking

himself.Why in the world had he done that ?

 

 

He quickly scampered out of her room as he could feel himself growing hot in the face and elsewhere. Stupid wench. Stupid hormones, he thought as he climbed down the stairs. He stormed off to the well house, embarrassed and ashamed. He sat next to the well and waited for Kagome to get there, if she was even planning on coming back with him.

 

 

A few moments later Kagome came walking across the lawn, clad in her usual school girl uniform with her over sized yellow back pack on her back. She approached him cautiously, praying that he would not mention what had happened in her bedroom.

 

 

Much to her relief, he only shrugged and jumped into the well. She jumped in after him and both waited for the blue light to appear and take them away, but nothing happened. Inuyasha shot a questioning glance at Kagome. She shrugged.

 

 

"Maybe it's slow today?" she suggested and he sighed.

 

 

They continued standing there, for a good five minutes before Inuyasha slammed his fist into the wall, causing Kagome to jump.

 

 

"What the heck is wrong with this stupid thing!" he yelled in annoyance.

 

 

"It could be sealed from the other side," Kagome said.

 

 

"No duh. I hadn't thought of that one," he muttered and pulled out Tetsusaiga.

 

 

Kagome stepped away from him, her back pressed against the wall. He didn't seem to care that the well was rather tightly cramped. He could have hurt her pulling it out like that! As if he had read her thoughts, he said, "You might want to get out of the way. This thing could hit you."

 

 

Kagome climbed out of the well quickly and watched Inuyasha as he brought Tetsusaiga down into the earth in the bottom of the well. He stood there a moment but again, nothing happened.

 

 

"Gr...what in the-"

 

 

"Let me try my arrows," Kagome said, hoping he would not go into one of his well known bad moods.

 

 

"Feh, try your heart out," he said and jumped out of the well, sitting cross legged, his chin resting in his hand.

 

 

Kagome dropped her backpack beside Inuyasha and climbed back into the well. she held her bow and readied her arrow and was about to fire when she was interrupted by the sound of Inuyasha's laughter.

 

 

"What?" she asked.

 

 

"You've got so bad a aim, I bet you'll shoot that arrow and miss ," he said and began howling with laughter.

 

 

"Oh but I won't miss when I shoot you at the ground," she said.

 

 

"Kago-"

 

 

"Sit boy," she said and then after she heard his body meet the floor, she readied her arrow again, and fired.

 

 

The arrow merely stuck in the dirt. There was nothing, no blue glow, nothing.

 

 

"I wonder what's wrong with it?" Kagome said leaning her back against the wall. "If it was sealed with an object, whatever was blocking it should have been destroyed."

 

 

"Yes Kagome, and I'm surprised to see it took you this long to figure it out," he snapped and she glared at him, the look just threatening to "sit" him.

 

 

"It's obviously a spell," he said, lifting his head arrogantly.

 

 

"Well, good observing, genius, but how in the world do you suppose we're going to get back?"

He looked at her, a frustrated expression taking over his features.

 

 

"Maybe it's just temporary. I mean, surely Sango and Miroku will notice and take the spell off and everything will be back to normal," she said, more to herself than anyone.

 

 

"And if it doesn't get fixed?" he questioned, looking up at her.

 

 

"Then...well...I don't know," she admitted. "You'd have to stay with me...and my family," she added, her cheeks flushing a light pink.

 

 

"There's something exciting," he muttered sarcastically.

 

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. A moment of silence followed until Kagome interrupted it by climbing back up onto the floor of the well house.

 

 

"Well, since we can't go through the well right now, I'm gonna put my pack up," she told him, hoisting the heavy bag up over her shoulder.

 

 

"Whatever," he said as she walked out of the well house. "Hey Kagome, while you're up, make me some Ramen!" he yelled after her.

 

 

Kagome sighed as she made her way into the house. The boy had no manners what so ever! Doesn't even offer to help me carry the bag full of all his food! But, she would make his Raman anyway, anything to keep his bad mood away.

 

 

A few minutes later, she joined Inuyasha back in the well house, handing him a cup of noodles. He ate them quickly, slurping the juice and the noodles in all at once. Kagome had a small smile on her face as she remembered the first time she had given him noodles.

 

 

She caught sight of him jumping back into the well and stood up, looking down at him. He pulled out Tetsusaiga again and began digging into the earth in the well, trying to open the portal that would take them back to his era.

 

Kagome watched him do this for a whole fifteen minutes before she jumped down beside him and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

 

 

"I don't think we're going to be getting back today," she said softly.

 

 

He lowered his arms and relaxed his muscles. He knew she was right but the thought of them getting even more behind in the their shard hunting was really getting to him. It was safe to say he was obsessed.

 

 

Suddenly, lightning flashed and Kagome remembered the rumors of the huge storm that was supposed to hit.

 

 

"We better go inside," she said, her hand finding his.

 

 

They stepped out of the well house only to be greeted by large drops of rain. Inuyasha closed the door to the well house and Kagome led the way to her home.

 

 

Once inside, they sought shelter in the living room where Kagome plopped onto the couch, Inuyasha in front of it with his back leaning against it.

 

 

Kagome looked out the window and saw the flashes of lightning and then jumped at the sounds of thunder. She looked down at Inuyasha and felt sorry for him. She knew how sensitive his ears were and knew it hurt him when there were loud noises. Another rumble of thunder had Inuyasha seated with his hands over his ears, his teeth clenched.

Kagome sighed and climbed out of her seat.

 

 

"I'll be back," she said and he nodded.

 

 

She climbed the stairs to her bedroom and dug through her dresser drawers for a few minutes until she found what she was looking for. Quickly, she went back to the living room, jumping occasionally at unexpected thunder attacks. She sat down in front of Inuyasha and placed the ear plugs in his ears.

 

 

He stared at her, his expression confused. Thunder sounded again, only this time, Kagome noticed he didn't flinch, nor did he cover his ears. Kagome smiled triumphantly and Inuyasha smiled a small smile too.

 

 

He never really understood the many wonders of the future, but boy were they helpful! He couldn't wait until the next day. Surely they would get back to his time early and would be able to make up for all the time they'd lost while they were here.
