InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Drips, Drops, and Drabbles ❯ Wanderer ( Chapter 11 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Someone once said, you can search your entire life for the thing you desire most. But once you find it, nothing will ever be the same. They were right.

I don’t know what I expected once we completed the jewel. Perhaps that I would return through the well and never look back, or the well would trap me on one side against my will. Maybe in the end, I really didn’t think we could do it and would die instead.

Now here I am, with the complete jewel in my hand. And for the first time, I’m truly afraid. I’m not afraid of the demons that will come – Inuyasha will protect me from them.

I’m afraid because I no longer have a home. Until now, the present – the future – was my heaven, the place I could run when I was scared and needed to get away. But now it is as foreign to me as the past – the present – once was.

And yet, I am still a stranger here, separated by my ideas and ideals. I know now what Kikyou felt. Even with Inuyasha by my side, I have become a wanderer, searching for a place that cannot be found.Converting /tmp/phplyI7O4 to /dev/stdout
