Reunited
Disclaimer: Go read the first chapter for proof of my failure in owning Inuyasha.
AN: Okay so after a whole lot of thinking, spacing off, losing a lot in a game (stupid card games), going to a beach, getting two headaches while in the car, seeing a drunk person stick her head out a sun roof, getting stuck in traffic AND falling asleep…I finally completed this 2 shot no more no less! Anyway I hope you enjoy it! Please note that I do have an editor so it probably wasn't that good in the grammar section and sometimes description till GL63 edited so THANKS (gaaraluver63, I still hate your day camp)
As time had passed all he wanted to do was erase her from his lonely mind. Still, no matter how many times he tried, he never could forget her flawless face and her kind heart. Though he was able to be around his friends, help them and spend time with them, he could never turn the corners of his mouth. He hoped that they couldn't read his honest eyes; which held pain, sadness, and the burden of loneliness. Once every three days he would visit the well where she emerged…only to find himself hitting the dirt surface while looking up at his own blue sky.
He was certain that she had moved on, forgot about him, and all the 'skool' stuff had kept her mind busy. What he didn't know was that she was also thinking of him, thinking about him every time she drew a breath. He haunted her mind just as much as she did his.
He was always left to marvel why everything good that ever came into his life managed to slip between his tightly clenched fingers like tiny grains of sand…she was one of them. Still no matter how he looked at it or how many times he cursed himself for letting her go, he was glad that she was safe; surrounded with people who loved her and in her own time.
Walking down the path he had taken so many times; he found himself again face to face with old wood that belonged to an old well that was a place of meetings and goodbyes. He found himself resting his knees on the ground staring at the bottom of the dry well. A forlorn look etched across his face. He let no tears fall, yet the amber pools he possessed were glassed with unshed ones.
His heart felt heavy, he remembered the way her words and actions helped make each burden a little lighter. Walking away, he gradually entered the village that he could reside in. The half-demon was instantly surrounded by two eager three year old twin girls. Taking a place on a decent rock he sat down letting the twins continue to tug and pull at his ears. As much as he loathed the constant tease it reminded him of how someone else very close to him used to play real sneaky just to fit in a feel of them.
Sighing seriously he asked the parents to control their children's diminutive assault. Unexpectedly His heart skipped a few beats; suspiciously he sniffed the air 'It can't be. Can it?' placing the girls down with no words on where he was going he stood off and began his run to a place with one thought on his mind 'It is her!'

She stood there diploma in hand and head towards the sky. She was thinking not about college options or fame but of him instead. 'It's been three years now...' she reflected. Turning her head she found her anxiously excited friends running towards her with diplomas in their hands too. They congratulated her on graduating high school while each informing her on what they wanted to do.
In what seemed like no time at all the morning faded into late afternoon, the sun beat down upon the little shrine on the outskirts of Tokyo. While her family was busy preparing different things she walked over to the ancient well house. Slowly creaking open the door she peered inside to see her time traveling portal was still there and fine. Walking down wood steps she placed her hands on a lip of the well. Just like usual, the future priestess was greeted by the cold ground below. Thoughts flowed through her mind-what happened, why the well wouldn't allow her through and how much she missed him and wanted to stand by his side-.
Taking a second look at the dirt she was shocked to find-- As if on a cue her mother slid the door open and joined her daughter her motherly arms wrapped carefully around the daughter's shoulder simply staring at the shocking site. Looking towards her mother who held a pained expression the now 18 year old young woman whispered
"Mama I'm going to return to his side."
With a nod the older of the two bid the younger goodbye. It felt like a small eternity but finally the daughter turned her body towards the well re-placing tender hands on the rough wood and took the final plunge.
The stream of time was flowing and twisting around her body. But, all too soon, the feel of damp dirt returned to her and she tilted her head up slowly. No longer was she gawking at a roof but staring up in awe at the very clean blue sky 500 years in the past. Much to her surprise she was greeted by a calloused hand, not belonging to her. Taking notice of the sharp claws of each finger and red fabric hanging around the owner's wrist loosely, the girl felt comfort spread through her body like a wild fire.
Grabbing the hand, she was easily pulled into the skies of his time and onto the soft grass. No words were said but they were not needed. Salty liquid began to form in the corners of her gentle eyes; apologizing for her uncalled for disappearance. She heard him say her name in a kind loving manner then call her an idiot. She felt strong arms pull her into his embrace. In return she happily fisted her hands onto his horai. It felt good to be home.

AN: Yay! I'm all done, now to start typing the one chapter in Not so Sober (Which you all should check out) that I will write! Alright I learned that some people in Canada read my story and all I have to say is "I hold nothing against you and I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway shape or form. It was an inside joke." There I said it! No more guilt. (Yes I get guilty that easily)
GL63- I finally finished editing. Peace peeps!
