Chapter 5: The Well That Leads To The Past
"Wow! That isn't boring!" Souta said, standing up. Her mother looked pale. "You Kagome?"
"Well, kinda, It was about Inuyasha, well, more about his older brother, remember Lord Sesshomaru?" Her mother nodded.
"Well, what did he say!" Souta was dying to know.
"There's a lot Souta; how about I get you the book, and you can read it."
"Wow, really!" Kagome pulled out the book and handed it to him. It was not the same as the one her teacher read, but it was just about word for word, for the most part. She got it when looking for Miroku's family line. Souta walked out of the room, book opened and reading. Kagame sat down, and her mouth gave her some orange juice.
"Are you ok, Kagome?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." The truth was that even though she was happy to hear about their lives, it made her sad she had tried so hard to forget so that she could move on. Kagome drank her orange juice and got up. "Where are you going?" Her mother asked as Kagome walked out the back door. "To the well,"
Kagome's mom watched her walk out to the well house; she was sad for her daughter. So many things had happened to her, and her mother knew how it felt to lose people you love.
Kagome stood outside the well house and looked at it. Tomorrow she was having it torn down; the well would be filled and sealed. She hated to do it since the well had been there since Kami knows when. But she felt it safer and better to have it gone. She opened the door and walked down the stairs; she wanted to look down it one more time. Kagome placed her hands on the side and looked down. "Hey, guys, I read about you in a book; I hope, I hope you are all happy." Then a lone tear fell down her face and down the well. Kagome took a deep breath and stood up straight. She wiped the tear away and smiled, then without another thought she jumped but nothing, she landed at the bottom. She still held her smile, though she knew it would not work, but she just wanted to do it one more time, one more jump.
She ran her hand across the dirt. Did it really happen? Was, was I really there? Yes, and she knew it. Kagome started to climb out of the well when the rope broke, sending her flying back down into the awaiting blue light. What! What's going on?
Her heart raced; how, why, now? After all this time?!
It was taking her back.
It could not take her back! All she wanted was to forever forget, but forever remember, but it didn't matter now...
This was not supposed to happen. She had come to terms with everything long ago. Fought back tears, and now, this. But the well does not seem to care about her heart or her pain or the need to forget, but then, did it ever?
When Kagome landed, the sky was dark and gray. A sign of rain. She didn't want to get up; she didn't want to climb out; she wanted to go back. Kagome slammed her fist into the ground. "Take me back damnit, dont do this to me," But it did not seem the well would listen. Kagome looked up just as the rain started to fall. With a sigh, she stood up. She was older now and not used to climbing out of this well like she used to be. Once again, she was in a skirt, lucky her for changing. Ironic and funny how she just happened to be wearing a skirt again. She looked down at her skirt; it was one of her favorites. It wore like her old school one, but it was a dark and light brown mix. Lucky for her, she was wearing good shoes and her dark brown leg warmers. Her top was a tan tank top with a light brown button-up jacket with a few pockets stuck here and there. Kagome reached for a vine and prayed she could still do this.
So with a few choice words later, she pulled herself up. "Well, seems like I still got it!" She said with a victorious smile. But as she pulled herself out, she fell with a thud on the ground. "Well, sort of," She sat laid there for a moment; she forgot how pretty it was here. She forgot all about the rain that was coming down soaking her. That was in till, and sword met with her nose.
"State your name, woman,"
She sighed.
Kagome looked at the man who looked like a guard "Ka..Kagome," She said as she slowly sat up. "What are you doing in our Lord's land?" The man asked, still holding the sword to her. "Your Lord? The last time she checked, this was Inuyasha's forest."
"Yes, what are you doing in our Lord's land?"
"Uh," But before Kagome could say anything, the man grabbed her by the arm and made her stand. "Come, you winch!" Kagome was being dragged by the man with two other guards following. "Hey, let go!"
Kagome tried to pull up her powers, but it had been so long. "Where are you taking me!" She asked as she struggled against the man. "Who wench, ask who not where," The man said with an evil smirk. "FINE! Who are you taking me to!"
"Lord Sesshomaru, of course,"
