Rumiko Takahashi still owns them all… grr…
Inuyasha walked back into the hut several hours later. “I’m going back, I promised her mom I would come back.” Miroku nodded and Sango stood. “Tell her mother I’m sorry. We loved Kagome.” She handed him a lily. He nodded and tucked the flower in his robe. A glint of gold caught Sango’s attention and she couldn’t stop the smile that pulled her lips. “Is that the locket she gave you?” He froze and glared at her, “what of it?” He growled, his fingers closing around the small heart. “I…” She bit her lip. She wanted to see Kagome’s picture. She hadn’t seen Kagome in several days and now she wouldn’t. He seemed to read her mind as he pulled it free from his robe and opened it, lying it against his palm. Sango smiled, “she looks so mad.” Miroku walked to their side and wrapped his arms around Sango. Inuyasha “keh”ed before saying, “we were fighting when the picture was taken. I don’t know why we never took a better one…” He stopped, running the tip of his claw down the side of her face. Sango looked at him for a few moments before finally saying, “I’ve never seen you so open with your emotions.” He closed the locket and tucked it back into his robe. “She’s gone, if I would have been more open maybe…” Sango laid her hand in his shoulder and squeezed it gently. “I think she knew.” He sniffled back his tears and nodded.
“Actually I was a little confused about it.” Kagome muttered quietly. She longed to be visible, to at least be heard. “Inuyasha I’m sorry.” She muttered fleeing to the well, unable to deal with the grief. This time no lights greeted her, no stomach dropping sensation to let her know she was passing through time. “Oh great, so I can’t get home or back without Inuyasha?!” She sat down on the bottom of the well and cried.
Inuyasha walked slowly to the well, knowing Kagome’s smiling face, or hell even her pissed off face, wouldn’t be waiting for him on the other side of the well made it hard for him to return… especially knowing he would be standing with her family when they cremated her body. The hollow felling in his chest pulsed and his demonic blood sensed his despair, coming to life and boiling in the pit of his stomach. The scent of tears carried from the well on the wind… again not just any tears… Kagome’s… He ran and looked into the darkness finding… nothing. Why did I expect anything different...? She’s gone Inuyasha, deal with it.
Kagome looked up with a gasp; Inuyasha was staring down with a hopeful look. She wiped her tears away and stood, “Inuyasha can you smell me? Can you hear me?” He laid his chin on the well and sighed deeply. “I should have known Kagome. I should have!” He slammed his fist down on the well and growled. “How could you have known?! I didn’t even know.” She cried, begging anyone listening he would FINALLY hear her. He sighed deeply and touched the locket, “let’s finish this Kagome. I’ll find the jewel and wish you back. I won’t let you roam like Kikyo.” He jumped into the well, taking Kagome’s spirit with him.
