Summary: Sesshoumaru tries to deal with Kagome going down the well.
He flipped through the unmounted photographs. They were all that he had left of her. When Inuyasha located her shrine, he had been afraid. Afraid of his own feelings. Afraid that he would be unable to control himself. Afraid that he would reach out to her and do something which would make the fabric of reality unravel.
Now it was too late for him to change the course of events. The pictures showed clearly that she has jumped into the well and was lost forever. He wondered idly who had taken the picture. From his discussions with Inuyasha he knew that the hanyou was too attached to her to let her go.
"Sesshoumaru. It is time to go."
He looked up and stared blankly at his half-brother. Inuyasha offered his hand. They both knew what he was going through. When Rin had died, Sesshoumaru had been there for him. Sesshoumaru might have loved Rin, but she was Inuyasha's mate and by dying he had lost part of his soul when she died..
Inuyasha dreaded these feelings. He had been a rock for Sesshoumaru when Kagome had died. Kagome had never told Sesshoumaru that she was from 21st century Japan. Shippou had slipped up It was all downhill from had become his obsession. Everything else was shunted to the sidelines. He had her followed everywhere. His bookshelves were filled with pictures from every part of her life. Now his computer was filled with digitalized images of Kagome.
" Sesshoumaru, you know that we owe it to Kagome's mother to tell her what happened to Kagome. She will want to meet her grandchildren. We should bring pictures of them."
Sesshoumaru stared uncomphrehendingly at him. Time was so unfair. The woman he loved had been within his grasp, but he had not been allowed to touch her.
Inuyasha sighed. It was not going to happen today. "We can put this off to another time when you are ready to talk about Kagome."
Sesshoumaru wondered idly if that time would ever come.
