So this is my first fanfic in a VERY long time, so go easy. Enjoy?!
Chapter 1
"Inuyasha, thank you so-" a bright light engulfed the shocked hanyou before Kagome could even finish thanking her companion for stopping the fear of the darkness take over her. The last thing they both saw was the shock and desperation in each other's' eyes, chocolate and amber orbs both fading from sight as the Sacred Well finally closed, leaving the girl who had overcome time, and the boy who had been overcome, stranded on either side of the well, hundreds of years apart, the memory of the other freshly emblazoned in each one's grief stricken mind.
The stars shone ever so slightly in this time. So much less than she was used to. The raven-haired woman let out a deep, troubled sigh as she gazed up at the night sky, palm pressed loosely to the pane of the window, as if scarcely hoping for another to rise and meet her slender one. "Kagome? Come back to bed hon". A gentle voice reared in her wandering mind, palm falling from the glass as she slowly turned. She heard a soft pat of the bed, beckoning her again to sit. Throwing a last, sad glance at the dimming stars that once guided her she moved slowly towards the bed, pulling her silky red dressing gown closer into her as she did so. "What's wrong love?" Concern laced the yawned query, as it always did when the sadness became evident in her behaviour. The man dragged himself up on one elbow, stifling another yawn as he draped a gentle arm around Kagome's small waist. The girl shook her head slowly, indicating her lack of ability to fully answer her lover's question. 'Lover': the word echoed in her mind, bringing a strong yet dull pang of sadness to her chest. It was a word that she had hoped would ever only be used on one man; the one man that was now lost to time. Shaking her head again, this time in a more dismissive manner, she turned and cupped the man's face, softly stroking his shoulder-length caramel locks. "I'm sorry. Sometimes the past just…sneaks up on me and grabs hold…it's just really hard to let go". Emerald discs looked up at her, nodding understandingly. Pausing, she drew her eyes from his to gaze at his soft lips, quickly pulling their eyes back to meet. "Someday I'll tell you, I promise". She leaned over him to plant a slow, sad kiss on his lips before she was pulled down into his embrace, letting his soft kisses and gentle hands once again become a lifeline out of the well of darkness in which she lay.
Thanks for reading and let me know any thoughts so far!
