Chapter 21 - The Secret *Drop It!* (The Puppy Love Challenge)

Kagome spoke as she made her way to the well, accompanied by both of her canine companions, Prince and Inuyasha, though the hanyou was hanging back as if he wasn't even there. "So, Sango will make sure you have enough food. Make sure you don't get into any trouble. The villagers are nice, and they know you're with me, so they shouldn't bother you. Just don't bother them. I know you're not happy about me leaving, and I wish I didn't have to, but I have responsibilities to take care of."

Sesshoumaru mentally frowned. She still hadn't explained exactly where she was going, or what a well had to do with it, and it seemed as if she wasn't going to. They were almost to the well, and she hadn't really told him anything! Unable to stand not knowing, he gently caught the sleeve of her jacket between his teeth and tugged.

The miko stopped and turned to look at the large white dog currently impeding her progress. He released her coat and gave a mournful whine, causing her to sigh. "You really want to know? Alright, fine. See, the well is..."

"What the hell are you doing, wench?" Inuyasha interrupted loudly. "You can't tell him that!"

"And why not? Oh, do you suddenly believe he is as intelligent as I've been saying?"

The hanyou huffed at her. "We don't know what the hell he is. For all we know, he could be another of Naraku's minions, here to gather more information."

The dog turned and snarled viciously at Inuyasha, baring his deadly fangs as his hackles rose.

Kagome grinned. "I don't think he likes that suggestion," she said while petting Prince, gently flattening the hair that had risen along his back.

"That just proves my point. How the hell would a dog even know who Naraku is? Think about it, Kagome!"

The miko sighed. "You think about it, Inuyasha. He's spent a week with us. We don't go more than a few hours without someone mentioning Naraku somehow. Prince has nothing to do with that monster. He's too sweet, too good. I'd be able to tell. Just drop it. Besides, it's my secret to protect. If I want to tell him, I can, and I will."

Inuyasha threw his arms up in frustration but fell silent and stalked a few yards away, to where he could still see and hear her clearly while making sure she knew he disapproved of what she was doing. Kagome sat on the edge of the old well and patted Prince's head.

"He didn't mean it. He's just being protective. Okay, here's the deal. I live here, on this very shrine, only five hundred years in the future. The well is a portal that takes me back and forth through time. I was pulled in while searching for my cat and stumbled upon Inuyasha, back when he was pinned to the God tree. I released him from the sealing arrow, accidently broke the Shikon jewel, and have been trying to fix my mistake ever since."

Though he was astounded by her claims, Sesshoumaru couldn't help but mentally smirk at her words. He wondered which she considered to be the mistake: shattering the jewel or releasing the obnoxious hanyou that had begun muttering in the distance. He looked up at her with wide eyes, and Kagome smiled softly.

"I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. If you just take the time to think about it, and all the things you've learned about me, it'll start to make sense. I promise. You don't have to worry about me when I'm there. It's much safer than here. No demons to attack me. A home with central heating so I'm nice and warm. It's very different in my time. Besides, if you still don't believe it, you'll be getting a demonstration in just a minute when I go.

"Please, be good for Sango and don't cause any problems, especially with him," Kagome said while tilting her head towards Inuyasha. "He means well. He's always been suspicious of strangers. It takes a long time for people to grow on him."

"He's not people," Inuyasha grumbled loudly. "He's a fucking dog!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and smiled at Prince. "He doesn't mean it. I'll come back as soon as I can. I'll miss you." The miko leaned down and pressed her lips to his head, just behind his eyes where, if his mother hadn't hidden it, his crescent moon would be. Instantly, it felt as though a thousand butterflies had taken flight in the once-taiyoukai's stomach, something he had never experienced before. He leaned up and licked her cheek; wishing he could kiss her back, really kiss her.

He had never had time to dally with females, and he had no desire to taint his reputation by having a string of bed warmers, so kissing was something he had never really considered. Suddenly, however, he ached to press his lips to hers, to see if they were as soft as they looked, as sweet as he imagined they would be. That realization only complicated things, however, and so he pushed it to the back of his mind. He would have a great deal of time to think while the miko was gone.

"I'll see you in a week," she said softly. "And you too, Inuyasha. Be nice to Prince!"

Kagome turned on the old wood and, after giving them both a smile, she dropped into the well. A wave of powerful magic washed over him, a blue light shining from the darkness, and Sesshoumaru jumped up, putting his paws on the ledge, to look down into the well shaft. Just as she told him would happen, the miko was gone. He jumped back down and sat, staring off into the distance. All the time he would have to think was a blessing, because he had a hell of a lot to think about.

Inuyasha sighed and turned to start the lonely walk back to the village. No matter who was with him, walking away from the well once Kagome had left, he always felt alone. Realizing, after a few steps, that the dog hadn't moved, he turned and looked at the obviously forlorn animal.

"Come on, mutt. She'll be back in a week, like she promised, and if she ain't, I'll go get her."

Sesshoumaru rose to his feet, not because he desired to obey Inuyasha's commands, but because he had agreed with Kagome to behave. Besides, the hanyou had just added one more thing to his long list of questions to ponder. She hadn't mentioned that Inuyasha could pass through the well too, but apparently he could if he was able to go and retrieve her. He walked along, a few feet behind the hanyou, and tried to think of where to start. What questions were the most pressing? What problems needed solving first? It was going to be a long week.
