He couldn't believe it. This was too much like the dreams he had night after night. Out of nowhere he caught her scent on the wind and out of the well she appeared, just like she always had. It has been three years since he last saw her. Three years without his beloved Kagome. All that time he wandered the forest near the bone-eaters well, the image of her face always lingering in the back of his mind. As much as he wanted to see her again, although he knew he needed her, it was impossible. He was prepared to live the rest of his life alone; waking up in the morning after a dream about holding her and finding his arms to be empty. But now, her scent, the softness of her hands, her deep, chocolate brown, tear brimmed eyes that gazed at him, no, through him…it was too real. When she spoke, her voice was just as he remembered, smooth and angel-like. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha, were you waiting?" It had felt like an eternity he had waited, and he couldn't hold back any more. He pulled her against him and held her in his tight grip. His strong arms wrapped around her, binding her body to his. He buried his nose in her soft hair and inhaled the sweet scent that had haunted his dreams for so long. "Idiot." He chuckled, "What have you been up to?"
