Something must be Missing

Chapter 1: Now I Remember

Inuyasha slept up high in the god tree, not a muscle twitched, and by the looks of him you'd never know that he was having a nightmare. He'd had this one before though he could never remember how it began or how it ended or who the girl in his dream was. It didn't seem like a bad dream really, it was rather nice but something kept him and the girl apart even though they wanted to be together and, for some reason, that terrified him.

Inuyasha stood there in front of the dry well. It was a nice sunny day and they had just found the last jewel fragment so he was in a good mood. The girl in front of him held out her hands and offered something she had to him

"Here Inuyasha," she said, "this is yours. What are you going to do with it?"

"K-----. The jewel is rightfully yours, you found all the shards so it belongs to you. You should keep it, or use it for what you want."

"Inuyasha…" she said quietly and then bowed her head as if she were praying. Suddenly she started to glow pink and the jewel in her hand faded away into nothingness.

"K-----? What are you doing?!" Inuyasha yelled

"Inuyasha… I just want you to be happy." She said, before she started to fade.

"K-----! Noooo!" And Inuyasha lunged at her but fell right through her headfirst into the well. When he recovered and turned around she was gone and he couldn't even remember why he was on the ground by the old dry well in the first place. He got up and dusted himself off, only briefly thinking that something must be missing.
