The trouble with Rosaries
Inu-Yasha sat in his tree overlooking the well.
It hurt to know Kagome would never surface from the well again. He just stared at the well hoping what little magic that had brought them together in the first place would bring her back to him. The longer he sat there the more helpless he felt. He reached into his hatori and pulled out the only things he had left: his tie for his hatori, the locket Kagome had insisted on giving him, and the item that started it all, the Shikon No Tama.
He opened the locket while caressing the jewel. The feel of the jewel brought on unimaginable pain. The look of Kagome's face in the locket brought tears to his eyes. It was as if she'd died. However, if she had died they could still be together either by reviving her or joining her in the afterlife. She was right there…on the other side of the well, five hundred years away. If only the rosary were put back together maybe he could join her again. With that thought he fell from his tree.
Inu-Yasha returned to Kaede's at nightfall. He wanted to see if Kaede had finished repairing the rosaries. He had a theory that if the rosaries were repaired then he just might be able to use the well. He had to hope, as awkward as it was for him. He closed his eyes and thought: Hang on Kagome. I will come for you whether it be tomorrow in your time or mine.
On the table, Inu-Yasha found both rosaries lying on top of each other. He grasped his hand around them and lifted them up. They came up in one piece. He was relieved that they were put back together. He heard the others. Shoving the rosaries into his hatori, Inu-Yasha bolted back to his tree.
He landed in his tree and stared down the well. He wouldn't let it beat him. Inu-Yasha jumped in the well. Nothing. He leapt back out. He pulled out the rosaries in a ball. Maybe he had to be wearing his. He grasped the black in one hand and the white in the other. He pulled. They were stuck. He figured that they were just tangled and leapt up to his tree to untangle them. He proceeded to pull and twist. He figured maybe he was just tangling them more. Kagome could get them untangled, if she were here. That only depressed him more. He realized just how much she did for him. He thought hard about it then carefully pulled on the rosaries again. They wouldn't come apart. Why? Inu-Yasha thought to himself. He followed the rosaries' beads around. They were interconnected. "What the…? What the hell did that woman do? Kaede!" He growled.
