Beginning the Journey Towards Tomorrow:
Disclaimer: Ok, just to make this clear I do not own Inuyasha what so ever, though I wish I did because I would have made it longer. but the creator did an amazing job with it! So all credit of Inuyasha goes to it's creator, Rumiko Takahashi. Other than that, enjoy.
Warning: Limes will be present!
As I sat here, with Miroku and Sango's twin girl's tugging and playing with my ears I was more in the state of my inner thoughts. Wondering about Kagome, as I did every single day. As I sat here a flashback had made it's way into my thought process.
-Flashback-
One week ago I was over at Sango and Miroku's hut, helping them with their twin girls, Asami and Etsuko, and during dinner they both looked at me. "Uncle Inuyasha?" My ears perked up from their original position of being down, close to my head, like I was depressed, but in all honesty I was.
"Yes Asami?" I asked, speaking in the kindest voice possible.
"Um... why do you look so sad all of time?" I was hoping Miroku would intervene, seeing as Sango was outside washing some clothes. I looked at them and then Miroku, I had always said that a man was to never show his tears, but I couldn't help it.
"I'm always sad, because I lost the love of my life when the Bone Eater's Well stopped working. She was an amazing woman and I hurt with the memory of her." I said, the twins looked at me oddly as I cried, almost as if they wanted to cry themselves seeing as I have never cried in front of them.
"What was she like? What was her name?" Etsuko asked. I smiled a little, for the first time in a long time, I smiled.
"She was beautiful. A little shorter than me, and she was very very smart. Her hair was as black as a raven's belly, so black that her hair had a blue shin in the sun. Her skin was alabaster and her eyes were so dark that they showed more emotion than anyone else I know. She was always teasing me because I would always tease her." I said, laughing a little as I thought about some of our old dumb arguments.
"How long has she been gone?" Asami asked.
"Well... about three years." Asami and Etsuko looked at each other, their faces full of sadness.
"Do... Do you miss her?"
"Yes... everyday." Just then, the climax of my crying had gone overboard and I stood up to walk out, leaving with a kind, but sorrow filled, "Sweet Dreams." I cried and With my head down in depression, I made my way to the Bone Eater's Well and slept at the bottom, just hoping that Kagome would come back threw the bottom back to us.
The girls playing with my ears was becoming annoying as hell. I mean, if Kagome had been the one touching me ears, I wouldn't mind, or if I had a pup or more than just one pup later I wouldn't mind if they touched my dog ears. It was hard to explain why it didn't bother that much if it was kin. Finally them playing with my ears had gone far enough. "Hey, could you do something about the twins?!" I asked, irritated.
"Girls, leave his ears alone." Miroku reprimanded.
"Sorry about this Inuyasha." Sango said. Just then I could smell a scent that I was all too familiar with, one I had been waiting for three years to smell. And as I smelled it, my ears twitched as well. I very carefully took the girls off of me and carefully tossed them onto Shippo..
"There girls, slay the fox." And this is where I took off. I wasn't mistaken about this, it was her scent. The most wonderful scent that I had waited forever to smell again, and as I got closer to the Bone Eater's Well the scent became stronger and stronger and once I was right in front of the well the scent was at its strongest and with a leap of faith I reached my hand into the well, closing my eyes, hoping that Kagome's soft, warm, delicate, but strong hand would grab onto mine and with much pleasure I felt that exact hand grabbing onto mine. And with one quick gentle pull up, Kagome came out of the well and I felt like my heart was going to burst when I saw her.
"Inuyasha... I'm so sorry. Were you waiting her for me?" She asked, her voice, so beautiful and amazing to hear. Her scent the best thing to ever hit my senses. And her... just her. I saw the tears in her eyes and saw how much she missed me, as much as I missed her.
"Kagome..." I said, bewildered, but happier than ever for her to be here. "You idiot. What have you been doing all this time?" I asked, pulling her to me, her warmth against my body was more amazing than I could have ever imagined it would be. Her beating heart, beating fast and relaxed against my chest, allowing me to feel her feelings from her body, into mine. Not even a second later there were fast foot-prints coming across the grass and of course it was the gang.
"KAGOME!" Shippo said, excited and happy.
"You made it back!" Sango said, shock and bewilderment all in her voice.
"It's been much too long Kagome!" Miroku said, holding his daughters while Sango had their son on her back. The look on Kagome's face when she saw everyone was of pure joy and happiness. But at that moment I wasn't yet ready to share her.
"Kagome?" She turned towards me, happy tears in her eyes.
"Yes Inuyasha?" She asked, happiness in her voice. I didn't wait to tell her and I cupped both sides of her face with both of hands and bought her lips to mine. And it was then and there that I knew her and I were meant to be. Not only because this kiss felt right or the thought of her being with me was just right, but also because I knew, I knew that deep deep in my heart that if the well let her back here, then she and I were meant for each other. As we kissed I could hear the awe noise from Sango and Miroku while Shippo struggled to cover the little ones eyes. This day, and/or moment in time couldn't have been made any better. Thank you! Who ever brought my love back to me... thank you!
