Chapter 2:

Forever

Souta paused. The burgundy door was closed tight and on the other side, he knew his sister lay motionless on the floor beneath her window, waiting.

She was waiting, but not for the dinner he carried on a tray. She was waiting for a white-haired hanyou who would never come get her. Who could never come.

Because the well had closed.

"Kagome-nee?" He tapped hesitantly on the door. There was no answer.

Slowly, Souta turned the knob and pushed the door open. Before him, Kagome sat beneath her window. She was doll-like in her stillness.

Yearning forever.
