You were dead. You are dead. Here I mean...
Dead in my time.
I wonder why I never realized that those times I went home to study for a test, or just to sleep in the comfort of my own bed you were more than 500 years...
You were in love with a dead girl. I was in love with a dead boy.
I guess we had something in common after all.
Something in common...
The three of you.
You all had painful pasts. More pain that I could probably comprehend, but that didn't stop you all from fighting.
Strength both physically and mentally.
There was an unspoken bond between the three of you.
Sometimes before you noticed that I was back I'd watch you all for a moment from a distance.
What did I get out of this?
In a deranged sort of way the distance made me feel...
closer
because I could witness something that I could never experience first hand.
And I would wish that I was Sango. I saw the respect you had for her. Sometimes you and her...
I know...Miroku.
But ever so often I saw it. I think you saw it too.
There was a connection that could never be shared with someone like me.
The two of you.
One night while you thought I was asleep I heard you ask me, "is this our fate?" At the time I didn't understand what you were trying to ask and why you were asking it to someone sleeping.
I think I understand now.
It wasn't so much of a question from one person to the next
as it was a question from one soul to another.
Did fate want our souls together?
I didn't get it before. It was either you and her, or you and me.
But it wasn't like that because it was outside of that.
Did we do something wrong? How could we go through all that and...
Did we fuck up something?
Ripped apart twice.
Days like this make me wonder whether your heart still beats on the other side of the well.
Sometimes I feel you when I look out the window after it has rained...scattered water droplets on the glass reflecting pinpricks of light. When the petals fall on me from the trees like snowflakes from the sky I feel like maybe I've gotten closer.
Where are you, Inuyasha?
I found you before and I'll find you again.
From one soul to another, I swear I will.
