The Broken Rosary: Chapter 6, order up! By the way, 'Saimyousho' are 'Naraku's venomous insects'

D* I don't own Inuyasha or and/or any of the characters used in this fic.

"What…what are you doing here?" His golden gaze locked on to the miko.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as she neared him. He took a step back and attempted to keep the beads well hidden from sight.

"Inuyasha? Why do you reject me so?" Her paces had seized and the wind brought silence between them.

"Kikyo, I…I'm not rejecting you. I would never do that to yo-" He was interrupted by the priestess who coldly ignored him.

"You held me so tightly the last time that we met, Inuyasha. What has happened in between that short period? Has your love for me died?" Her soul gatherers floated by her, they emanated a cold air.

"No, Kikyo. My love for you will never die." His voice became weaker and his ears flattened down.

She smirked at his sad expression. "

"I see, Inuyasha." She paused and turned up to look into the blue sky. A crowd of Saimyousho covered a spot in the sky.

"I shall meet you here tomorrow night, Inuyasha. One chance to explain why you have been acting so strangely. For now, I have something to attend to."

The soul gatherers wrapped around her and she floated away.

Something inside him felt wrong. Maybe it had been the point that he hadn't felt the urge to run after her and yell her name. Or that he was lacking that feeling that he had felt for her so long ago.

No, it was still there. He knew that it was not completely gone and that it would never be.

But the bond that he held with Kagome was even stronger. If only Kagome was there beside him, to see how much he was mourning for her. If only she cared as much as he did…

"Sit…" he whispered to himself as he sat at the edge of the well. "Sit…"

"Inuyasha? Can you hear me?" She said into the well. Her voice echoed back, eerily.

"Inuyasha…if I could only tell you how much you mean to me. If you were only here right in front of me!

But, it's too late, I know. You should have held me back, Inuyasha! You shouldn't have let me come back here!"

From her position in front of the well, she fell on her knees.

"Was this how you felt, Inuyasha? Was this how you felt when I left you?" A tear fell, but she felt something pull out with it. Was it a piece of her soul?
It fell into the well and a flash of light filled the room as it sank in. She froze in position; could this be real? As much as she tried, she couldn't move. "Inu-yasha…"

The hanyou was deeply lost in thought, when he felt something inside him shift. He turned to look inside the well that was now reflecting a spectrum of colors.

His eyes opened wide as a glimpse of a sad Kagome ran across his eyes.

"Kagome!" He dove into the well as the tear opened way into her time.
