Shimmer

 

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

-Isaac Asimov

 

 

Sesshoumaru held fast to Kagome as he leapt through the dark night, her auburn locks entwined within his moonbeam hair. The moon did not show its face tonight which meant that his brother held a human form. This was not good for the hanyou; in his current state he could not protect himself let alone the well. The well, what an enigma, it like the girl who emerged from it was a complete mystery to him. This was not to his liking; neither should be a mystery to the Lord of the Western Lands. The damn well was in his land and yet he knew nothing of it. The well was an elusive thing; it appeared to be average when it was far beyond begin just an average well. It was irritating to the Western Lord to know absolutely nothing about what was going on with that blasted well, if he could find the reason for the well's insolent behavior he could fix it.

 

“Sesshoumaru, what are you thinking about?”

 

“The well, it bothers me.”

 

“It bothers me too, it never did this before but maybe you're right maybe it allows the people closet to me to go through it. Maybe it's just that but to be sure we should hex it.”

 

Sesshoumaru glanced upwards to the sky again; the moon was trimmed in a hue of gold. This was strange as well, since moments before it was not even there. He had never seen this before in his entire life, what in seven Hells was going on here? Was it a change? Could all of these things ultimately be linked to one another? Sesshoumaru's mind was questioning life itself; he could not fathom what was causing these things to occur. Then his mind traveled to the girl he held, Kagome. They were linked and he held the key to open the proverbial door of understanding. If he were to find his answers he would have to find them within her. She whether she knew it or not caused the well to change its makeup. She whether she knew it or not caused for the full moon to come full cycle two phases too soon. Kagome had more power than he thought. He did the worst thing possible: he underestimated her. Kagome since her transformation grew in strength, speed, and in power. Her miko energy had grown causing her aura to enlarge; her aura now rivaled his. Her scent was marvelous, he could smell her before he even had her in his line of vision and he loved it.

Kagome wondered about the well while she held steadfast to Sesshoumaru. What could possibly be causing the well to react this way? Things have been changing ever since she transformed into a faerie, why did her life have to be so damn complicated. This is not what she wanted. She never wanted any of this. She wanted to live her life, a typical teenage girl from Japan but no she couldn't have that. She had to pull the wild card and be a miko. A reincarnated miko no less. This was ridiculous now the fate of the world rested upon her slim shoulders, how the hell did she end up in this position. Her life had taken a series of twists as of late. First defeating Naraku, second her transformation into some mythical creature, third the Lord of the Western Lands has decided to court her and last but not least the well, her well, is acting up, allowing all who enter the ability to pass through time. This did not bode well, Kagome felt as if the world was crumbling around her. Worse of all she blamed herself.

 

Meanwhile back at the Boneater's well Inu Yasha and the others encountered themselves a little situation with the well. Inu Yasha in mid fight against a large beetle youkai transformed into a ningen, this was not for the best. Inu Yasha almost lost his life in that moment; thankfully Kagura used her fan and ripped the youkai to shreds using the force of the wind. Inu Yasha's transformation was sudden; Sango and Miroku looked at each other confused, this should only happen during the New Moon, what was going on? Sango looked up to see the moon, it was there alright. Huge shining circular moon, white and wait something was off, the moon isn't supposed to look that way. Something was wrong and this was very bad news to her hanyou friend. This meant that they would have to protect Inu Yasha and the well from any approaching youkai. The already difficult task was made more difficult. Kouga went and tended to the large gash in Inu Yasha's side. Kouga was flabbergasted; he did not know that his hanyou friend could change into a ningen. This was a new development.

 

Far away among the darkest trees in the enclave of what is now Kyoto laid an even darker establishment. The aura of this place was dark and domineering. The layer of Naraku, he was laying on what appears to be a couch of some sort looking at a mirror. Kanna in her eerily transparent way was standing before her `father' holding the mirror so that he could visually eavesdrop on the gang of usurpers. Naraku's eyes intently stare of the contents of the mirror as his anger boils. He watches as his once faithful servant betrays him, her heart missing from its originally case. The time was now.

 

Sesshoumaru smelled the slight change in the wind. Something evil was stirring, with that knowledge alone Sesshoumaru hastened his approach to the village. The others were in trouble and he would be too.

 

“Kagome?”
