CHAPTER SEVEN: WHOLE NEW WORLD

As Kagome, Inuyasha and Nakushita neared the well, Kagome said, "This is the Bone-Eater's Well" to Nakushita while she pointed to it.

"This is how you get home? It doesn't look like much" said Nakushita.

"Well, you'll see" answered Inuyasha.

"Hey, I'll go first. I can show you how it's done" Kagome said. She then stepped up to the mouth of the well and jumped in. A blue light surrounded her and then she was gone.

"So that's how it's done" Nakushita said as she stared at the light that was now disappearing.

"Your turn" Inuyasha said to his sister as she too stepped up to the well.

"Well, here goes" she said and then jumped in. She saw the same blue light come over her and after a few seconds she landed safely at the bottom of the well as the light went away. "Hmm, I guess it worked"

"Nakushita, you down there?" Kagome called.

"Yeah, I'm here" answered Nakushita.

"Hey, get up here before Inuyasha lands on top of you" Kagome called down.

"Sure, be right up" Nakushita said as she leaped up and cleared the well with ease.

Just as she landed Inuyasha appeared at the bottom of the well.

"So it worked, huh?" Inuyasha stated.

"Well obviously Inuyasha" answered Kagome sarcastically.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Inuyasha argued.

"Um, hey. Why don't we go inside?" said Nakushita hoping to end the argument.

"Sure, let's go" Kagome said cheerfully.

The three of them then headed to the house, Inuyasha grumbling behind.

Shippo just got done explaining the story of how Inuyasha and Nakushita was separated (with his crayon-drawn pictures) to Kaede while Miroku was telling his 'fortunes' to the young ladies in the village.

"So that is why Inuyasha never spoke of Nakushita. I suppose it was hard to" Kaede commented.

"Yeah, I guess" Shippo said. "Or, he was too embarrassed because he ran away" he said with a mischievous smile.

"Shippo, don't be so foolish" Miroku said to the young kitsune as he walked in. "You know it pains him to mention it"

"So Miroku, how many ladies did you give fortunes to?" Shippo asked (because it was the only comeback he could think of at the time).

"Oh, I think it went rather well" Miroku said turning his head.

Shippo then noticed a trace of a red hand mark on Miroku's face.

"Well, I imagine it did" Shippo said slyly.

Nakushita just stood in amazement when she stepped out of the well house. The sights, sounds and smells were all new to her. She knew things had changed, but she didn't think things changed so drastically.

"Hey Nakushita, let's go inside" Inuyasha said.

"Huh? Oh, okay" Nakushita answered.

As they were walking to the front door, Kagome's mom and Souta appeared in the doorway.

"Oh Kagome, you're back" said Mrs. Higurashi.

"Yeah. Hey mom, do you know when our relatives are coming?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, they just called ten minutes ago. They're going to be two days late, due to a delay of the airplane" said Mrs. Higurashi.

"Hi sis, hi Inuyasha!" Souta said. "Who's this with you?"

"Oh. This is Nakushita" Kagome answered as Nakushita bowed. "She's Inuyasha's younger sister"

"Wow! Inuyasha, you never said you have a sister. Why didn't you tell me? ..." and Souta went on asking Inuyasha tons of questions.

"Souta, could you stop? You're giving me a headache" Kagome said in an aggravated voice.

("Thanks") Inuyasha whispered to Kagome as Nakushita smiled at Kagome's little brother's antics.

"Well, why don't we all go in" Mrs. Higurashi said. "I'll go make some tea"

"Come on Nakushita, I'll show you around. Souta, you can play video games with Inuyasha" said Kagome.

"Okay! Come on Inuyasha" Souta happily said.

When they got inside the house Kagome and Nakushita went up to Kagome's room while Inuyasha, with Souta pulling him along, went to Souta's room to play video games.
