Sesshomaru's Real Mother

Chapter 2

When Kagome looked up she saw that it was still dark and the moon was still full but Kikyo was no longer there, she looked around the well and saw that the vines that were usually there were no longer there. She sighed knowing that it was going to be difficult to try and get out of the well without the vines, but she had to try to get out and see where she was or more likely when she was.

Kagome began to try and fill for some of the rocks that stuck out more but hardly found any and that surprisingly the walls were a bit slippery, well she wasn't about to give up now so she gripped the rocks as best as she could and began to climb.

Not even halfway up she fell back and landed hard on her butt, she groaned to herself and gently rubbed her sore rump, she then got up from the ground and looked back up towards the mouth of the well. She cupped her hands around her mouth and began to shout out.

"Hello? Is anyone out there? I'm stuck here, at the bottom of the well! Anybody?"

Silence, her shouts were greeted by silence for there was no one near her that could hear her shouts for help. She sighed to herself and decided that since it was so late that everyone was still asleep, she want to one of the walls and leans her back against it and slid down to the floor.

"Maybe when it is morning someone would come by? I'll have to keep on trying. I can't give up. I have to try and undo what Kikyo had done to the well and get back to the others. I have to try, for them."

With that in mind she pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her head on top of her knees and began to slowly drift to sleep. When Kagome woke up she looked back up towards the mouth of the well and barely saw the pink in the sky signaling that the sun was coming up.

With much determination Kagome got up from the floor and stretched first, once she was done she then once again began to shout for help. This carried on for a while and Kagome saw that soon no doubt that within an hour and a half that the sun would be upon her and no doubt she would get a nasty sunburn.

Kagome had no idea what to do anymore, it seemed that no one was around and the sun would be upon her soon enough and to top it all off she didn't have any water! Her throat hurt form all of the shouting that she did trying to get someone's attention but to her luck there was no one around!

Just when she about to actually cry in her despair she heard some noise and at first she thought that it was the wind but when she listened a bit more closely she soon realized that it was actually the sound of footsteps! Finally, there was someone nearby. Kagome wasted no time in shouting for help.

"Help! Please! I'm down here! Please, help me!"

Kagome then heard the sweet sound of those feet moving towards her direction and she smiled in complete relief, when the person peaked down at the well that she was in she couldn't quite see who it was but she able to tell that it was a man. She waved up at him and before she could say anything, the man spoke to her a question that she hadn't known on how to respond.

"What are you doing down there and how did you get there without breaking your neck?"

Kagome smiled impishly at the man and even though his voice was a deep rich baritone, the kind that would make any women go weak in the knees at just hearing it. She scratched the back of her head and said what she hopped that he would accept it and help her get out.

"Just lucky I guess. But anyway can you help me get out? Please?"

Kagome was hoping that if she sounded not only polite but maybe even a bit distressed that he would feel sympathy for her and help her to get out with no further questions. To her astonishment the man had jumped right down the well and just when she was about to panic that he would hurt himself, he gracefully landed right in front of her and straighten up to his full height.
