I don't own the cast of Inuyasha.
Chapter 1
Kagome had lost her first love without even saying goodbye. She felt that she would never love again, but she somehow she knew Inuyasha would want her to move on. She hoped that Kaede would figure out a way to replenish the spell on the well to reopen the gateway, and she waited by the well, praying to see that beautiful light again, and hopefully hear Inuy asha's voice calling to her. For about two days, she did not come out of that well. She cried so hard to the point where she couldn't cry anymore. Little did she know, that's what Inuyasha had been doing. Kagome tried to forget, but she couldn't. She knew she no long er had a purpose in the Feudal E ra, and in some small way, she was relieved that she wouldn't have to hide her excursions any longer. She spent her days that week talking to the dirt, and praying to the gods that Inuyasha was all right, that Shippo was happy, and that Sango and Miroku were together. Oh the things she will have missed, but the worst was her first love, Inuyasha.
Shippo was worried for Inuyasha. He hadn't come out of the well at all since Kagome disappeared. Shippo had never seen Inuyasha that listless and it seemed like everything about him was lost when Kagome left. Shippo didn't get a chance to say goodbye either. None of them were expecting this. Least of all Inuyasha's actions. They thought he would have just spat at the well and said, "Good riddance to that annoyance". Since they weren't there when she left, they didn't know how it happened. They had tried to get it out of Inuyasha as to what happened, but he was pretty much dead. What they didn't know was that Kikyo was no longer there among them, and that Kagome was ripped from him without him even telling her how much he truly loved her.
"Why is it when I fall for someone, they are ripped from me?"
That's all Shippo got out of him after three days. 'Does he even know I'm here' Shippo thought to himself as another crying fit hit Inuyasha and he just buried his face in the dirt, hoping the tears could reach Kagome. Shippo even saw him clawing at the dirt, hoping to reopen the barrier by just digging a hole.
"Wow, Inuyasha. Are you even going to leave the well?" Miroku asked as he leaned over the edge looking down on the pathetic behavior of their strong friend.
Sango threw her rope down the well and climbed down. She then kneeled down beside him and stroked his back in sympathy. She was surprised at what happened as w ell. Her friend and sister are gone and she didn't get the chance to say goodbye either.
After all, it was only Inuyasha and Kagome who had gone to defeat Naraku. Miroku, Shippo and Sango had gone to the neighboring village to exercise a demon from a house. Sango went because she is, after all, a demon slayer. Shippo went t o protect Sango from Miroku, as usual. Kagome and Inuyasha had stayed by Kaede's and gathered herbs and just relaxed, when Naraku came around and started a rouse. That's when Kagome shot Naraku again with her arrow, and hurt him pretty badly. Then Kikyo showed up and told Inuyasha and Kagome that this was her mission to destroy Naraku. That's when Kikyo and Naraku had left the land of the living.
Two days ago when Sango, Miroku and Shippo returned, they noticed that Inuyasha and Kagome were gone. So, after listing to what Kaede had to say, which wasn't much, they went to the well. That's when they found Inuyasha laying in the well weeping like a dog that lost his best friend. Since Inuyasha wouldn't tell them what had happened, they didn't know what to think other than something had happened to Kagome. Miroku was the one who finally got something out of Inuyasha. Sango and Shippo had gone back to Kaede's to tell her that Kagome was gone and that the well was sealed. They were asked, by Miroku, to leave it to him, as he walked back to the well once again.
"Tell me, Inuyasha. What happened while we were gone? What did you mean when you said that everyone you fall for gets ripped from you?"
That's when Inuyasha finally sat up inside the well and stared off into space. All he had done was lay there in the dirt, looking at nothing but dirt. The same dirt that used to step aside for them in the past.
"This is the first time I've touched this dirt for this long."
'O.K., that was just weird. Is he losing it?' Miroku thought to himself. "Why is that?" Miroku asked.
"Because this is the furthest I've been from Kagome in a long time, since we met." Inuyasha said in a monotone.
"Don't you mean the closest?" Miroku asked with a slight smart tone, trying to get him to laugh, or something. Well, he got a reaction, but not the one he wanted.
Inuyasha jumped out of the well and picked Miroku up by the collar and looked him right in the eyes with a glare he hadn't seen since the day he and Inuyasha met. "You know nothing, monk." Inuyasha growled into his face and held him so close M iroku could feel Inuyasha's tears wet his cheeks. Miroku didn't know how to respond. He had never felt so scared of Inuyasha than he had that moment.
"You really curious? You REALLY want to know why I'm hurting." Inuyasha growled piercing him with the most pain he had ever seen in a pair of eyes.
"If it will help you, yes. Kagome was my friend too, and I'm concerned, as are Sango, Shippo and I'm sure Kaede is as well." Miroku tried to hold his resolve and stay as strong as he could while in Inuyasha's grasp. Inuyasha looked into his eyes for another moment, then released Miroku and sat down and leaned over the side of the well letting another tear fall down into the depths once more. Miroku just sat down beside him and looked into the well as well, letting Inuyasha decide where he wanted to start. He figured if he was that hurt, he wouldn't want to look Miroku in the eye to see him hurting as well.
"While you were gone, that Bastard Naraku showed up. He started talking crap again, and Kagome shot an arrow at him and hurt him pretty badly. I was about to take a swing at him when Kikyo showed up." Inuyasha said this without even blinking.
"Kikyo was here? That can't be good. What happened after that?" Miroku asked looking at Inuyasha to see if he would react to talking about Kikyo.
"Well, she stopped me from attacking Naraku. I told her to leave, but she just walked up to him and looked him right in the eyes and said, 'you haven't totally rid yourself of Onigumo like you thought you had. I know how to defeat you.' All Naraku did was look at her. She turned to me and said, 'Goodbye, my love.' Before I could do anything she turned and embraced Naraku and this light surrounded them and before Kagome and I knew it, Naraku and Kikyo were gone."
"What do you mean, gone?" Miroku looked at his right hand and took off the glove. Sure enough, the Kazaana was gone. Miroku didn't even notice this change. The demon they went to exercise had been an out of control snake, and Sango had done the honors of killing it. Inuyasha noticed that Miroku was staring at his hand. He looked at him and saw the shock on his face, then looked at his complete hand. Inuyasha was not surprised in the least. Inuyasha turned to Miroku and looked him in the face and said, "You should thank Kikyo, she's the one who saved you."
"I know. I didn't even know it disappeared. I didn't even use my Kazaana when we went to fight the demon in the other village. Sango took care of it easily."
"Well, I knew it was gone when I felt Naraku's presence leave this world. I am so mad I didn't get a chance to get one hit in. I told Kikyo before to stay out of it, and that I'd protect her so that she wouldn't have to fight. Well, I never got a say in it before she took him with her to hell."
"What about Kagome? What happened?"
"Well, I'm not sure, but I can't reach her. The well sealed itself again. We got the jewel, and tried to decide who was going to make a wish. Kagome said she had nothing to wish for, so she handed it to me."
"Well, I can certainly guess what you didn't wish for." Miroku said as he looked Inuyasha in the eyes with an 'I knew it' look.
"Yup, I decided that I no longer wanted to become fully demon."
"What was your wish?"
"I'm not sure. I didn't actually wish for anything. I was thinking about me and Kikyo being together in another lifetime, and the jewel began to glow in my hand. I also noticed that Kagome was also glowing. The light was so bright; I closed my eyes for a second. When I opened my eyes, Kagome and the jewel were gone."
"I see, the one wish was used, the jewel is no longer existent. Since the wish was pure hearted, Midoriko was able to win the battle." Miroku stated with a hand to his chin.
"What do you mean? How does that explain the well being sealed? How does that explain Kagome being sent back to her own time without her wanting to go back?" Inuyasha asked rather irrationally.
"Maybe the well was opened once again due to her being near the well for the first time. Since the jewel no longer exists in her time, the well is no longer needed for time travel. It was, after all, the wish of the demon that pulled her into the well to get the jewel, was it not? Kagome didn't know anything about the jewel until that day, am I correct?"
"I guess. That's how she said she got to this time; she was pulled in by Mistress Centipede. I killed Mistress Centipede that night I awoke on the tree. You know, when I first saw her, I thought she was Kikyo. I made fun of her thinking she was Kikyo. I'll never meet anyone like her again, will I?"
"What are you saying, Inuyasha?"
"Well, I thought that if Kikyo was reincarnated again, I would meet her in another lifetime, and she would be just like Kagome. I love Kikyo, but I can't deny how I feel about Kagome. She was so like Kikyo, but also so unlike Kikyo. It's hard to figure out who I truly loved. Before Kikyo and I really got the chance to do what we wanted together, we were torn from each other. But, Kikyo wanted me to become human. Kagome wanted me just the way I am. How can anyone choose with such a case as this?"
" So true, my friend. It's not easy to figure out who it is, or to even find the one you're meant to be with to the end of your days." Miroku said with his eyes closed and nodding.
"But what about Sango? You fondle her all the time! Why do you do that, you letch?" Inuyasha stared at him hoping he would give a straight answer.
"Well, now that I know I'm no longer at the mercy of the K azaana, I can make a decision. I have chosen Sango. She knows it as well; she will be happy to see I'm fine and will no longer be in danger. Although, she will be upset that she didn't get the chance to get at least on hit in at Naraku. She's lost so much."
Inuyasha was surprised at this answer, but at least he was serious for once. "You better be a good man to her, you here me?!" He drummed into Miroku as if he were Sango's father. "You better not look at another woman after you two get together, YOU HEAR ME LECH!"
"Calm down Inuyasha! Of course I'll remain faithful! What do you take me for?! I no longer have to worry about my lifeline being short! I can now live the life of a normal monk!"
"You better! If I see one unhappy tear on her face, I'm coming after you! And I mean that!"
"It's all right! I LOVE HER!"
Inuyasha was shocked by that outburst. He looked Miroku in the eyes and saw the truth. 'I guess Kagome was right, Miroku does love Sango. How could I have been so blind?' "Good, now go tell her before I have to kick your ass for procrastinating!"
"What about you, Inuyasha? What are you going to do?' Miroku asked wondering about what the hanyou was thinking.
"I don't know. I don't have anyone to rema in here for. I have no one to protect. I have n o one to love or lean on. You have Sango. Shippo can stay with Kaede. I'm back where I started. Alone and homeless. I have no purpose, Miroku. So go. Don't wor ry about me. Go live your life, s ince I can't live it for you." Inuyasha then leapt up into the nearest tree and then out of sight.
