Ok, here we are at chapter two. Not much to say; still not really into the
main plot yet. It should start in the next chapter, which hopefully I will
write and upload tomorrow.

Kyuuteki Chapter 2
The full gray moon cast a cool light on the forest, but Inuyasha saw only the tiny slivers that shone through the dense foliage. He loved the moon, and under normal circumstances would have found a spot with an unobstructed view of the sky through which to stare at the silvery orb, but not tonight. He had no time to look at the moon; he had to find Kagome. He was such a fool… He had let Kikyou kiss him, and Kagome had seen. He knew she had. The wind had turned shortly after the kiss, and Kagome's scent had been on it. Kagome's scent… It was funny that he could distinguish it from Kikyou's. At first he had thought that Kagome was Kikyou because their scents were so alike, but now he knew that there was a difference. Kagome's was just… warmer, somehow. Like Kagome herself was warmer than the icy Kikyou. Which was why he loved Kagome more than he had ever loved Kikyou. Their souls were the same, and he loved them both, for in many ways that made them the same person. But Kagome was unique, and he loved her in a way that he could not Kikyou. And Kikyou no longer truly existed, a fact he realized he had a hard time processing. He did feel that he owed it to Kikyou's personal consciousness to help her with Naraku, and to be put to rest, but he shouldn't have let her kiss him, when the person he loved now was Kagome. There was no spoken agreement between Kagome and him, but he knew that she thought of her as his koibito, and that she thought of him as hers. He had betrayed her, and she had every right to be upset. He had to find her… To explain… And he began to realize where she had gone. The path of her scent headed straight towards the well. He should have expected it, she'd often go back to her time when angry with him. As he arrived at the well his suspicions were confirmed. Her scent stopped at the well. Inuyasha jumped in, intending to pursue her into the future, but as he looked up after hitting the well bottom he did not see the wooden roof of the well shrine of the future. He saw the tree limbs of his own forest, and bits of the moon shining through the gaps. The sight did not calm him tonight, however. The well had been sealed.
