(He stood there for a moment, for what felt like hours instead of minutes with conflicting thoughts and emotions pending within him, then he decided against it, so he turned away from the Well and left.)

Nikko P.O.V.
I was drifting for a second, until I landed softly onto the ground. I looked down and saw nothing but dirt underneath my feet. I looked up and saw the building that covered over the well.
I heard the honking of cars, the drone of planes flying by and people shouting across the streets. I sighed in relief, in the fact that I was finally back in my own time.
I smiled as I started moving towards the wall to climb up the ladder but stopped for a moment as I looked back at the ground, feeling a sense of loss and sadness over me as if I left a part of me back there in the Feudal Era.
It slowly to feelings vanished as I climbed up and put my feet onto the old wooden floor. I went to the doors and went outside. I looked around and saw that I was still at Kagome's home, I walked towards the house just as Kagome opened the door and saw me.
Kagome's eyes widened and quickly watered as she ran to me. In response, I ran to her with my eyes watering as well, until we collided into each other into a tight hug. We both started crying as we fell to our knees while still holding each other.
After we stopped crying, we got up, dusted off the dirt, and then she gripped my arms as she got a good look a me. "Where have you been in the Federal era?!, I've been looking for you for weeks over there!...What happened over there?...and?...Where did you get that kimono?" Kagome said.
I put my hands on her shoulders and moved her away a bit to get some distance between us. "Calm down, Kagome...I'll explain everything...Wait?...What do you mean you've been looking for me in the Feudal Era?...You've been over there too?!...When did this happen?!" I said.
She looked away for a moment, then looked back at me with guilt in her eyes. She sighed as she gave me a melancholy smile at me. "Well...I have things to explain as well...come on...let's go inside...Oh!...By the way since you've been in the Feudal Era...My mom covered for you by telling your Sobo that you were staying over at my house for awhile, so she wouldn't get worried." Kagome said.
I hugged her again in gratitude, I always knew that I can count on her. "Thank you so much for that...I don't know what to do about that when I got back, she'd would ground me for life after being gone for weeks without telling her anything." I said as we went inside the house.
After I got refreshed, I went downstairs, sat at the table with Kagome and we started talking about the truth between us. Kagome told me her side of the story and I was amazed on how she met such a fate and the grand continuous adventure, with friends there, even befriended a half-demon, who was struck to a tree for fifty years with an arrow, she released him from it and now works together, gathering shards of the sacred jewel and fighting Naraku.
With the information she has given me now, I understood everything and why...she didn't tell me about it. I started telling her my part of the story, having Kagome on the edge of her seat as I explained why I was gone for weeks and most of all, being with Sesshomaru in that time frame.
I left out a few details out because even when I thought of them, I started blushing and I think she noticed that. As I finished my story, I picked up my tea and drank it, letting her absorbed the information.
I knew she had tons of questions but she was trying to figure out which one to ask first. Then I saw she had her eureka moment, with a sly look on her face, unsure whether it's a good thing or not.
"Did anything happen between you two?...before or as you're leaving?" She said. The question caught me off guard and I started to spit out my drink as it went through the wrong pipe.
It took me a few seconds, to get my breathing under control. "I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to freak you out like that!" She said. I waved her away, to tell her I'm ok.
"It's alright...I just didn't expect that." I said as I was getting my composure back. "Sooo...?!" She said. I looked at her in confusion and was getting uncomfortable. "Sooo...what?" I said.
"Do you have a thing for Sesshomaru?" She asked. I froze there for a moment, pondering the question, of all the time I've spent with him and how he may feel about me...it's true...I was developing feelings for him but with his perspective of humans, then again its also how I see him as well.
How he cares about Rin and protecting me from the dangers, the way he reaches out and tries to touch my cheek. I sighed in content as in the back of my mind, I was wishing that I could see him again.
Then I felt myself starting to blush red like a tomato, I looked away from Kagome as I stood up and decided to make dinner. She gasped as she saw my cheeks turning red as I was getting things to cook for dinner...ramen.
"So you do like him?!" She said looking at me intensely as I didn't say anything. Before she went further into her questioning, the door opened and a boy appeared. "Hey!...Kagome you here?" He said as he came into the kitchen and saw us in there as we turned to him, moving away from the stove.
