Disclaimers: Don't sue me cuz you don't like me…or if you don't like characters. They're not even mine anyway!

Note: The second half has her say. Much sadness, beware. I may write a third part (well I can't call it a third HALF, now can I?!) to wrap it up and maybe make it a little less…open ended. But whether I write it up all depends on how much praise and bribery I get. ^_^ I know, I'm so petty and mean… like Inu-chan! ~Yasashii

~~~ The Second Half ~~~

It's startling to learn that I'm not my own person. I'm just a reincarnation. My fate and destiny were written before I was born. I know now that I was destined to fall into that well. To right the wrongs of fifty years ago and the present. To meet him. He acts mean and selfish, but I know he cares about me. No, he cares about the past me. Or is it really me, is it really the same soul? Everyone says I look like her, but I'm not her. I can't be.

I… I hate her. I know that it's a cruel thing to say, but it's just not fair that she came back. I feel like I've now been cast aside as nothing more than a Tama Detector. I find it ironic that I didn't know my feelings until she came back. I also see how easy it must have been for her to fall for him. When I first met him, I thought I'd never get through a day without "sitting" him at least five times. Now I find that I can't imagine my world without him in it.

I know he thinks I'm in the way and that he wishes I wouldn't come back when I go home through the well. My heart won't let me stay away from him for very long. I… I have resolved to let him go to her, but I will never leave his side through thick or thin. In a way, he'll always be with me, ne? Even if it's not ME me, I will stay happy for him.

I look at him next to me; he is staring worriedly at the water. "Inuyasha," I ask, "Is there something wrong?" He looks up at me with angry eyes, I know that I have struck a nerve.

"I'm fine, leave me alone, wench! You broke my concentration!" Then he scowls and turns abruptly away from me, which is a completely normal action for him. I usually do not take his insults and yelling to heart, but this time… this time it tears at me for some reason. It burns my heart and soul. I silently turn and walk away, I can't bear to be near him any longer without breaking into tears. I won't let him see me cry, even if I have to die holding it back. I resolved to stay happy for him, and I'll be damned if I don't keep that promise.

I don't hear footsteps or yelling behind me, I know he isn't following me. I knew he wouldn't in the first place. I jump into the well to go home, planning to never come back. But no matter what I plan or how I feel, I will always end up going to him.

Always… Inuyasha.
