~Their Salvation~

~Chapter 31~

"What?" Shippō asked quickly.

"What did she say?" Sesshomaru asked.

"She... She has a point. What if Naraku can use Kagome's body to go back to Hana's time?" Shippō's eyes widened.

"Shit." He whispered. Hana's grip tightened on Inuyasha's sleeve nervously.

"I didn't think about that." Eiko whispered.

"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru spoke up.

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked.

"Take Hana home. Let her recover there and keep an eye on her family, speak to them and see if they know how to prevent Kagome's enter while we keep an eye on things here." Inuyasha thought for a moment.

"Yeah." He muttered. He looked down at Hana.

"Hey, let's take you home for now, ok?" He spoke calmly. Hana nodded so Inuyasha stood up and helped her up making sure she was ok to walk.

"I'll grab your bag!" Kaida chirped before scampering off then she returned as she balanced Hana's bag over her head. Inuyasha smiled and took the bag for Hana.

"Thank you, Kaida." He said before slinging it over his shoulder.

"Come on." He said to Hana before they walked out. Inuyasha walked slowly just in case, it was a wonder to him she's popped back up so fast despite the fact she was nearly choked to death the day before. Hana let Inuyasha's hand go making him stop and look down at her, but then she wrapped her arm around his as her hand furthest from him held his.

'She's nervous.' His beast spoke. Inuyasha's gaze softened as he held her hand a little tighter, but not much.

"We'll be ok Hana, I promise." He reassured in a soft tone. Hana nodded so they started walking again. Once they got to the well, Inuyasha stopped and carefully got his arm out of her gentle grasp.

"Here, get on." He said before kneeling down. Hana carefully got on so he held her legs gently as he stood up, then jumped down in the well. When they made it through, he jumped up into the well's hut. He carefully let her down before opening the hut to see Yoshifumi playing in the snow while Fujima, Yamaji, and Anno watching him. 

"Mama look I made a snow an- Inuyasha-sama, Hana!" He chirped before running over. The three perked up, Anno jumping up and running over as well.

"Hey, you two!" She chirped before stopping in her tracks.

"Hana, are you ok?!" She asked.

"We'll discuss it inside, it's cold out." Inuyasha spoke calmly so Anno nodded as they walked back.

"Oh goodness, here come inside, your grandmother just got done making some matcha tea." Fujima said soothingly as she gently took Hana from Inuyasha guiding her inside.

"Hana?" Kasai asked before getting up and walking over.

"What happened?!" He asked.

"Where's Yanai?" Inuyasha asked Kasai.

"Right here." Yanai spoke up from the couch.

"Here, come sit down." Fujima said having Hana sit on the couch.

"Yanai, how much knowledge do you have on the bone eater's well?" Inuyasha asked.

"A bit, why do you ask?" She asked.

"We need to block Kagome from coming back."

"Wait, why?" Anno asked as Fujima walked past them to get Hana some warm matcha tea.
