Outside the Window
Feudal Era
Dust is what remained where the great hanyou once stood. With a break-neck speed, Inuyasha raced all the way to the well.
'Why kagome? Why?' it is like a chant searing into his soul, choking him. Kagome left without a plan to come back. And that killed Inuyasha from the insides. He can't think of a reason why Kagome would do that. She was always forgiving; sure Kagome is a strong woman. But she is also vulnerable and easily hurt, but she is also forgiving. She has a big heart that can forgive anyone. Even him, an insensitive one jerk of a hanyou. But why? Why did she leave now, when he had sorted out his feelings? Now that he knows whom he should choose when the time comes, and he would choose Kagome.
Finally, he reached the well. He tried to catch Kagome's scent, hoping that the letter in his hands was just a joke. A cruel joke but a joke nonetheless. He caught a familiar scent, Kagome's scent and Sesshoumaru's, but it is an old one. Now, another thing is worrying him. His great youkai brother is also on the other side of the well, with his Kagome. Thousands of thoughts coursed through. 'What did Sesshoumaru do to kagome?' 'Who will protect Kagome?' 'How the hell did Sesshoumaru get in when the fucking well won't let me pass?' But as usual, his questions remained unanswered. Inuyasha jump into the well, wanting to see if he can get through. But it won't let him in. There's no light, no falling into an endless pit feeling, no fresh scent of Kagome's time, no nothing. Except the hard ground that serves as a barrier between him and Kagome, mocking him. 'Your wench might be dead by now, and you have no way to protect her'
Inuyasha screamed with all his might. It sounded like an animal that's lost his mate. The fresh agony could be heard, other animals howled with him as if they wanted to share his grief.
Meanwhile…
Beneath a very large tree. Two images can be seen. A sleeping and contented girl held by a man, man with a pair of dog ears and a tail.
Sesshoumaru stroke sleeping Kagome's hair. He doesn't know why, but it seems natural for him to do this. As if he was doing it for so long. It confuses him, what the girl makes him feel but, he can't help it. What he saw in the girl's eyes before bothered him. She was surrendering herself completely to him. Even her own life. He didn't saw fear nor anger but unspeakable woe, great sorrow, that's what he saw. And for some reason he cannot figure, he wanted to take that away from her. Even with Rin, he doesn't feel this.
Kagome stirred. Sesshoumaru's hand caught in mid-stroke. It was one thing holding Inuyasha's wench when she cried and it is another being caught stroking her hair.
'This insanity has to stop.' He began to put down his hand when he noticed something. Is it just him or his claws are getting smaller. 'Must be because of what this wench's making me feel' Sesshoumaru thought.
Kagome woke up; her head is throbbing painfully, must be because of crying too much. Then it suddenly hit her, all came back.
Kagome jerked away from Sesshoumaru, 'What the hell am I doing in his arms?' Kagome tried to run away but in just a matter of seconds, Sesshoumaru is already in front of her.
"Wait! Where do you think you are going?" Sesshoumaru held her shoulders. His claws sinking unconsciously into Kagome's delicate skin.
Seeing Kagome wince, Sesshoumaru loosen his hold of Kagome but tight enough to restraint her from running again.
"Let go of me! What do you want?" Kagome asked.
"Bring me home." Sesshoumaru answered coldly. He saw the fear in Kagome's eyes. And then, he felt it again. That unwanted feeling which cause him to hold Kagome and comfort her last night. Damn this wench. Witch.
"I cannot. My mom and my grandpa won't allow me to have full demons in my house. And you are a threat to my family." Kagome replied, misunderstanding.
"What? I'll not live with filthy humans. What I meant with bring me home, is you take me back to the feudal era. You're the one who got me here so you should know how to go back there?"
Kagome's eye narrowed. Filthy human, eh? "Well, I should apologize oh great youkai, but this filthy human don't know how you got here, what more to send you back."
Kagome wanted to take her words back immediately after saying them. It won't be good to anger this youkai now, I am hopeless and my family is just near by.
"You're testing my patience wench. Tell me or I'll.."
"Or you'll what? Kill me?" Kagome cut in.
Sesshoumaru stopped. He can't threaten her life now, especially after last night. The wench won't get scared, in fact she would embrace his offer, she would gladly embrace death, so what he use to scare her and force her to tell him and help him go back to the past. A laughter reached Sesshoumaru's sensitive ears. Aha! Her family!
"No! I know now that I can't kill you because you are the only one who can tell me the way back, but.. I can kill you're precious family, can't I?" Sesshoumaru smirked. He flexed his claws and turned and slowly walked to Kagome's house.
Kagome's eyes widen, "No!" she shouted, "Please don't. jump back at the well, I'll take you to it. It'll take you back to feudal era, just don't hurt my family, they're all that I have now."
You have me! A voice taunted from Sesshoumaru's head. That stopped him in mid-stride.
'What the? Who are you?'
'I am you, Lord Sesshoumaru. I am your conscience, I am the Sesshoumaru you tried to kill long ago.'
'What?'
'Admit it. You're starting to like humans since you adopted Rin-chan, but you cannot have her for she is just a child. And now, this wench came.'
'Shut up!'
"Please, Sesshoumaru! I'll take you to the well. Just don't kill my family." Kagome pleaded.
Sesshoumaru looked at the trembling girl infront of her. Then again, he saw the same girl standing in front of him last night. The same haunted eyes of Kagome.
"Then lead me to it." He said rather gently than he planned it to be.
There it is again, the softness in his voice from last night. Kagome thought. She was wondering what's causing this sudden changes of the youkai's approach. Kagome suddenly noticed something. Am I dreaming or the purple streaks on his face are really disappearing.
Seeing Kagome staring at him, "What are you looking at wench? Bring me to the well now!"
"Hai!"
Back to the feudal era
Not knowing what to do anymore, Inuyasha decided to go back to Kaede-baba's hut. Maybe the old hag knows something about this. On his way back, he saw one of Kikyou's soul-stealer. He had the sudden urge to follow it to it's mistress, but he changed his mind. So he turned th other way when Kikyou appeared in front of him.
"Where are you going Inuyasha?" Kikyou asked.
"Back to Kaede-baba's hut." Came Inuyasha's cold reply.
Kikyou was taken aback by Inuyasha's reply. She know, she had caused Inuyasha so much pain already but he never, even once, used a cold tone on her. So, he has chosen! Thank you Inuyasha. I don't want to really take you to hell with me. I just want you to realize how important Kagome is to you. And now, that you have chosen her. I can finally rest.
"I know how to break the spell!" Kikyou simply said.
"What! What are you talking about?"
"Kagome, cast a spell on the well and sealed it. Since she cast it form her world, Kaede, even how hard she try, wont be able to break it. But, I can." Kikyou replied. She closed her eyes, Let me at least help you in this Inuyasha. I've caused you too much pain and I want to somehow apologize for that.
"How? Help me! Tell me how."
Kikyou signaled for her soul-stealers and mounted them. "Follow me."
