Chapter 10 – Stay
Kagome was standing in the courtyard. She was looking towards the gate thinking. She wanted to go back home, but she didn't know which way she should go.
"What's wrong?" Inu no Taisho stepped beside her and she looked at him. This time he didn't scare her. She sensed him long before he spoke, but she didn't want to start the conversation. She enjoyed the silence, but now she couldn't ignore him anymore.
"I need to go back home, but I don't know which way is the well connecting me to my time." She answered and turned her gaze back to the gate. They stayed in silence until he spoke again.
"What about we take a walk?" He suggested and she nodded. She didn't know where was he leading her but she didn't have any reason not to trust him.
They entered the gardens and she stopped in awe. The gardens were huge. As far as she could see there were various flowers in all kinds of colors. There were groves of sakura trees and other decorative trees, which she never saw before.
"That's beautiful." She said amazed. He smiled at her. He liked when she was smiling, she was so beautiful like that.
"You could stay here with us. There's many more places you would like." He offered. She stopped in shock. What is he saying? Does he want me to stay here? Why?
"I'm sorry, but I can't stay here. I don't belong here. I have to return back home as soon as possible." She told him apologetically. She enjoyed his presence, he was really kind and she felt that he could understand to any of her feelings. He was so different from Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
"As you wish. I'll send some of my men to find that well you were talking about. Until then make yourself at home." He stated. She thanked him and he left. She watched him until he disappeared out of her sight and then she continued walking through the gardens.
As he promised, he called his men and told them what he wanted them to find. They were confused why would he want to find some dry well, but they wouldn't dare to oppose him in any way. He gave them as close description as he could, but before he let them go, he stopped them once more.
"It's important to find that well, but there's no need to rush. Take your time and when you find it, come straight to me." He knew he couldn't keep her here forever, but he could at least try to hold her here a little longer.
