Prologue: The Well

"Sango!" Everyone in Kaede's village heard Miroku calling out for his wife. I was sure of that. In seconds Kagome and I saw him running at top speed towards their small house.

"What do you think he's up to now?" Kagome furrowed her eyebrows together. I loved that she did that every time she got confused.

"Whatever it is, it can't be good." I said. I cleared my thought; it felt as if I hadn't spoken for hours.

Since Kagome's return -about two weeks ago- our relationship was more strained than it had ever been. Of course it was my fault, I sometimes wished I had the courage that the lunatic monk had and ask Kagome to live with me. Which in yokai terms it would be like a wedding ceremony. I know how lame, I just had to say it to be married. That was the reason why Koga got so obsessed with her a while back.

We just sat in the silence of the woods at the roots of a tree. Kagome looked so peaceful, I almost spoke up. Almost...

I could hear her heart beating slowly, I always could. It was a sound that I'd learned to live with in all our time together.
I've always thought about Kagome as fire.
She was like an open flame, that had me burning just by being beside her.
It was a good burn though, it was kinda like love and desire.
But just like a real flame, I couldn't touch her, 'cause to begin with, she wasn't mine to touch.
And there was also the fear of getting hurt.
She's like a a bright flame created for me, dancing temptingly about, mesmerizing me in a way that I couldn't help but stare.
I would never be able to count all the times were I had lost myself just looking at her, and just wanting to reach out and touch the fire.
Maybe that would be enough to calm the burning desire for her that took over me every time I was close to her.

My thoughts started to go on a very intresting direction; I missed running with her. I loved having her so close to me, to feel that heartbeat that I knew so well. But that wasn't the only thing I missed about running with her. I missed holding her thighs. I knew those were dirty thoughts, but it was also true. I couldn't lie to myself; I missed touching her bare skin. I missed that tingly feeling of being shocked every time my fingers brushed on her. I wondered why that happened, and if that's what it felt like to be struck by lightning, and I wondered if I could set small fires with my fingertips with all this need I felt for her lips to join with mine.
I got up from where I was. There was no need for Kagome to see me blushing.

"Is everything okay, Inuyasha?" The girl stood up right after me.

No, nothing is okay Kagome-sama! I need you! I can't live without you! I love you! I really wanted to say those words so bad, but I just didn't have the courage. My ears flicked at the faint sound of a slap. "I think Sango-chan slapped Miroku-sama again."

"That's strange. They're married, what's the worst thing he could do to her?" she pulled her eyebrow together again; she looked so cute like that. Just then, we heard our friends running in our direction.

"Kagome-sama!" the slayer ran up to my Kagome. My? She wasn't mine. I should never think of her that way!

Sango had tears welding up in her eyes and streaming down her face. The monk also had red eyes looking as if he would also cry. "Kotomi and Mitsumi are missing!" Sango sobbed.

I could feel my eyes tearing up, too. My nieces were missing! I couldn't believe it, I had finally had my family back together and now this had to happen. Adrenaline pulsed through my veins, as anger took over pain. Anger was my shielding emotion. As long as I felt anger, nothing could harm me.

"Let's get them, Kagome!" I allowed fury to run though my body and cover me like an invisible armor. No one messed with my family.

As if it had been practiced before hand, she jumped on my back on cue. With her bow and arrows already placed over her shoulder.

"Miroku-sama, take us to the place where you last saw them" Kagome was the one to proceed. I was still stunned by having her on my back, just as I imagined having her again. My shiel of anger faltered, but strangly I didn't feel week and overexposed, I felt stronger than ever. I had my fire right were I needed it, right beside me, warming me Don't worry Inuyasha. We'll get Mitsumi and Kotomi soon." She spoke in a very soft voice, only meant for my over developed ears to hear. I held her legs just a little closer to my body, loving how familiar running with her felt.

"I know we will" saying it was more like a vow. She wiped a tear from my face, I hadn't noticed it escaped.

Miroku led us to the woods. We were very close to the sacred tree. My heart sped up remembering all of the memories that came with this place. My favorite one was waking up to Kagome, that's when my life seemed to finally gain a purpose.

"They were playing around this area. Then I heard an animal roar, so I turned that way," the monk pointed to the west where he heard the sound.

I sniffed the air, and cringed. It reeked strongly like blood, yokai blood. "Ugh! Some fight those beasts had. The whole place smells like blood."

Sango gasped. I'd probably scared her.

"Don't worry Sango-chan. I'm sure the twins are just fine. Right Inuyasha?" of course it was Kagome the one to try to sooth her friends nerves. She was always so kind with everyone.

It didn't take long for my overdeveloped sense of smell to catch Kotomi's scent. It smelled kind of fruity like Sango, but it had a certain aura of the monk's spiritual power. Mitsumi's scent came right after. Hers was just like Miroku's, herby and earthy but there was an edge to it. She definitely had blood of a demon slayer.

"Guys, I have their scent." Immediately, the three of them came running toward me, mixing up the twins' scent with their own. "Get off me!" I growled at all of them. "Who's the half demon here?"

"You are." They all mumbled taking a few steps back.

"Then will you let me do my job?" It didn't surprise me that Miroku hadn't found them yet. He could only sense auras like my Kagome. And Sango couldn't even do that. Of course, I was the hanyu for the job. I took in a deep cleansing breath, catching all of the woods' smell. And there were my nieces' scents. I walked around, chasing the smell, trying to reach the end of the trail where their scent was much stronger.

I was so engrossed in my job that I didn't even notice the familiarity of the place where their scent led me. Kagome said it before realization hit me. "The bone-eater's well?" it was like an omen, having said those words aloud.

"Oh no, my babies" Sango's cry was full of fear and pain. I wouldn't understand the emotions she felt until I fathered my own children - If I fathered my own children.

What happened next was something none of us expected; Miroku held his wife's arms tightly. She was struggling her way out and suddenly, she went all demon-slayer on him. I didn't know how she did it but in one swift movement, she was out of his hold and he fell on his back. Sango removed her kimono to expose her slayer clothes that she always wore under. And before anyone could stop her, she leaped into the well. A bright light came out of it, proving what I feared most: the well was once again opened.

"Sango!" the monk's cry was a hundred times worst than Sango's. For a second, I empathized with him. I knew how it felt to watch the one I love disappear through that same well. Maybe that was the reason why I didn't stop him from jumping in after her. If I had been able to do so back then, no one would've been able to stop me.

Once the bright light indicated that the monk was gone, Kagome perched herself on the edge of the well. "Come on, Inuyasha. Just like the old days, remember."

Yes, I did remember. I remembered every second of it. I remembered waiting for her to come back after her "tests", always eager to see her. I remembered having to wait for days, sitting by this same well, pacing edgily every sunrise yearning for her arrival. I remembered having to go get her from her time period when she took too long to come back to me. I always liked going to her house. Her room was my favorite place, it always smelled like her. The air in her room was thick with the sweet smell that radiated from her skin. But the strongest memory wasn't pleasant. I remembered losing her because of that well over 3 years ago. A didn't want to see that happen again. I wouldn't be able to withstand it again, ever.

Before she leaped into the bone-eaters well, I took her by her forearm. "Don't-. " It was all I managed to say. It sounded like a choked whisper.

I saw understanding in her eyes. Of course she would understand, she was completely self-less. She was the most beautiful person inside and out. "Don't worry, we'll get our nieces soon, I promise." She placed her hand on top of mine.

I was overwhelmed with hearing her saying our nieces instead of just hers or mine. She misunderstood my concern. Kagome had no idea it was the memory of having lost her before that haunted me now. "Kagome," It was hard telling her how I felt, but it had been getting easier since the first time we met. Wanted to laugh remembering all of the stupid things I'd said to her, like telling her that I didn't like her scent. "What if you can't come back?"

"Inuyasha," Did I mention I loved it when she said my name? "I will always come back." There was a promise in her words. I wanted to ask if she would be coming back to me. "This is my home." I was sure I imagined the fact that it actually sounded as if she were here for me.

I trusted her, too much. If she said she'd come back, then I would be there waiting like I had been doing since what seemed like forever.

I cradled her in my arms and, just like the old days, we jumped into the well for the hundredth time…
