Open Heart, Closed Window!
By No1butjoe
A/N: I was reading some old fanfiction on here and this one-shot popped into my head. It's kind of sad, but it has a happy ending. It also comes from a book I recently read called Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer. It's the sequel to Twilight and New Moon. Anyway, on with the story.
Disclaimer - Would I really be writing fanfiction if I owned Inuyasha? I don't think so!
I pulled the covers tightly over me as a gentle breeze entered the atmosphere around me, chilling the air and waking me from my sleep. I opened one eye and felt the familiar sadness as I realized the cause of the wind entering my bedroom. My brain told me to get up and close it, but my heart refused to let me move. Closing that window would mean defeat, allowing evil to win.

"You really have to go?" he asked, looking at me uncomfortably.
I nodded, holding back oncoming tears that I knew he'd be able to smell.
"You and I both know that I don't belong here, Inuyasha," I replied, sniffing slightly. "The Jewel's yours to do whatever you want with. Please, Inuyasha, be happy."
I placed the small object into his hand, closing his fingers overtop of it. The small smile on my face was a mask, not letting my friend and the man I love to see what was really going on inside me. Before he could react, I turned and ran, letting the tears fly freely behind me as I forced myself to jump into the well, taking me back for good.
End Flashback
In the short months that I had spent in my own time, not once did he come for me. Maybe I had done something wrong, but I desperately wanted him to sit on my windowsill and demand that I come back. Tears filled my eyes. Who was I kidding? Everything was as it should be. I was in my own time. Inuyasha, in his. Ignoring the gnawing pain in my heart, I rose off my bed, walked lightly towards the window, and gently closed it.
