“You confused her something awful,” Shizuka said, jumping up and crouching on the lip of the well. All traces of its magic were gone, and both demons knew that for the rest of its days, the well would be nothing more than a dry pit in the earth.
“I know, but all will become clear to her in time,” Sesshoumaru said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Shizuka’s ears swiveled at the sound footsteps on the sidewalk, and a scent very similar to Kagome’s. Shizuka stepped down from the well and sat on the ground against it, arms and legs crossed.
“Souta’s coming,” she said. “Are we going to tell him now?”
“Yes.”
“Wonder how he’s gonna take losing his sister,” Shizuka pondered.
“He may have lost Kagome, but he will gain something in return,” Sesshoumaru said.
For a moment she wasn’t exactly sure what he meant. She looked at him with an eyebrow raised, and he looked at her with an equal expression. She realized he was talking about her and she looked away.
“Keh,” Shizuka spat.
There were a few moments of silence between them.
“What about you?” Shizuka finally asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, you’re never gonna see her again either,” Shizuka clarified.
“I could say the same of you,” Sesshoumaru said.
He watched as Shizuka’s brow furrowed, her ears folding back against her skull. She grumbled and shook her head, making no reply as Souta’s footsteps worked their way up the stairs to the shrine.
“Kagome?” Souta called. “Hey Kagome, are you in there?”
“Nobody in here but us demons,” Shizuka responded, and Sesshoumaru hit her swiftly in the back of the head. “Ow…” she moaned and pulled her hat out of her back pocket. She jammed it low on her head, casting her face in shadow.
Souta stood rigid in the doorway, unsure of how to proceed with the two unfamiliar people he was confronted with. He seemed unaware that his mouth was hanging slightly open, and Shizuka sniggered.
“No way…” he said. “Are you guys friends of Kagome’s? You know, from the other side?”
Shizuka chanced a look up at Sesshoumaru before responding. “You can say that,” she said.
“But the well,” Souta began, dropping his schoolbag in the doorway and rushing over to it. He stood between Sesshoumaru and Shizuka to look down into it. “It didn’t work anymore.”
“Oh, it worked,” Shizuka said, unfurling her legs and propping her arm up on the well‘s lip, letting her fingers dangle into the darkness. “For your sister anyway. We didn’t come through it.”
Souta looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Huh?”
“Kagome has gone back to her rightful place in the Sengoku Jidai,” Sesshoumaru said, and Souta jumped at the unexpected voice in his ear. He wheeled around to face the taiyoukai, quickly backing out from his place between the two demons.
“You mean she’s gone? For good?” he asked, his eyes wide. With shock that Kagome was gone or in fear of him, Sesshoumaru wasn’t quite sure. Perhaps it was a bit of both. “Forever?”
“Yes.”
Souta’s face fell, his eyes coming to rest on the floor of the shrine. “I didn’t even say goodbye to her.”
Shizuka sighed and got to her feet. She clapped a hand on Souta’s shoulder, and he seemed transfixed by her long white claws.
“It’s probably better that you didn’t,” Shizuka said. “Goodbye might have been too hard for her.”
“I can’t believe I’m never gonna see her again.”
Shizuka sighed. She looked towards Sesshoumaru and tugged on the bill of her cap. He merely shrugged, and Shizuka turned back to Souta, clearing her throat to get his attention.
“Well, in a way you just might,” Shizuka said and took off her hat, jamming it back into her pocket.
The shadows lifted from her face, and her ears sprang back into place. She swiveled them around a bit for show. Souta’s expression remained in black shock, and when his hand wandered up toward her ears it seemed to almost be doing so of its own accord. Shizuka tilted her head out of the way, allowing only a single finger to graze her right ear.
“Holy…You look like Kagome, but you’ve got…you…Inuyasha’s ears,” Souta said in a daze. “Who are you?”
Before Shizuka could answer, Sesshoumaru stepped forward, extending a hand to Souta.
“Allow me to introduce myself,” Sesshoumaru said, shaking Souta’s limp hand. “I am Sesshoumaru, half-brother to Inuyasha. This is Shizuka.”
“Whoa, I didn’t know Inuyasha had a brother,” Souta said.
“Hnn,” the taiyoukai grumbled, unsurprised. Shizuka snorted.
“Dude, we have a lot of talking to do,” Shizuka said, throwing her arm around her very confused kin.
“I know, but all will become clear to her in time,” Sesshoumaru said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Shizuka’s ears swiveled at the sound footsteps on the sidewalk, and a scent very similar to Kagome’s. Shizuka stepped down from the well and sat on the ground against it, arms and legs crossed.
