Introduction
…An eerie feeling in the past…
…An unknown presence…
…A barrier…
…Trapped in time…
…Separation…
…An eerie feeling…
The strange feeling was still lingering in the group, a week later. It seemed to be foreboding, something bad was going to happen. But Miroku seemed to think there was something familiar about the aura…but every time he tried to get a bearing on the origin, walking towards it, he would end up circling the village. So he would go into the village. But then it appeared to come outside…
And the circle would repeat itself. He talked, long into the night with Sango, who seemed almost afraid to go to sleep, in fear of her brother, not wanting to lose him again. She couldn't explain the phenomenon either, even with her years of slaying expertise.
…An unknown presence…
Inuyasha sensed it as well, but to him, it wasn't a feeling of power, or even an aura. It was a feeling of a presence…familiar yet unfamiliar…
He felt like his eyes were pulling tricks on him. When he was wandering around, trying to find something to do, he would "see" a figure flit between trees out of the corner of his eye and turn, but no one was there. He would check, but no scent would remain.
…An barrier…
At the bottom of the well, unknown to everyone, under a loose covering of dirt, a small object lay. If seen, it would look discrete enough. A small rock, or even pebble, it matched the color of the dirt. But if turned over, it would reveal tiny symbols carved all over the surface. If removed, Kagome would come back.
While it remained, a barrier halfway through time glinted, almost evilly through the swirling blue, in the center of the time drift.
…Trapped in time…
Shippō and Kagome were making the best of it. In the back of her mind, She knew she was going to see Inuyasha again, but refused to believe it. Why believe a false hope? There was nothing she could do. She needed to take care of Shippō. Explain the rules of this world. Help him practice his illusions on himself. Become more of his mother every day, and couldn't practically go anywhere without him. She didn't want him wandering the streets alone, but he was becoming more and more independent.
But many times, she would start to think. Why? Why couldn't she get through the well. She had decided long ago, it wasn't chance. They had met for a reason. Probably not to just meet each other, but to work together. So why was she stuck in her time with the shards? Why wasn't she allowed to finish the job?
Why? Why?!
…Separation…
Hello there. If you've read my other story, this chapter wasn't needed. If you haven't read my other story, I suggest you read it. It's really not as long as it looks. But there are some VERY important things that happen in there. You'll be lost without explanations of stuff to come.
Good luck,
Kakie
