What a strange feeling, he thinks, as he leans over the empty well.

He isn’t sure what he expects to see when he looks over the edge, considering Kagome isn’t due back for a day or more. And beyond that, he isn’t sure why he cares so much if she’s there or not. All the same, he comes and goes a few times each day, sitting beside the well, sometimes peering over its edge, sometimes just listening for the sound of her breathing as she comes back to his side of time. 

What a strange feeling, he thinks again, this strange sense of longing, of emptiness he’s never felt before. It leaves him cold and uncertain, quite unlike how he feels in her presence, annoying as she was of course. But there was always an emptiness to life without Kagome, who brought a warm, yet gentle sort of nature to his life… Aside from when she was angry, that was. Then… He shudders at the mere memory of their last fight… He doesn’t like being on that side of her, honestly. 

He wonders, as he leans back on his hunches, arms folded over the side of the well, just what this feeling might be called. This sensation of wishing to be with her, even when he knows he cannot. This tugging at his heart, this overturning of his stomach, this warmth seeping into his bones when he thinks of her returning smile. For a single moment the feeling is overwhelming, so much so that he thinks he might take himself to her, through the well and into her time- she had told him not to follow after her, but when had that stopped him before? 

Just as he’s rising up, resolved to do just that, something peculiar happens. 

As if his very thoughts have summoned her, he catches the first whiff of her scent, floral and sweet, ever familiar. “Hey! Inuyasha!” He can hear the smile in her voice long before he leans over and sees her there, her yellow bag overflowing, too heavy for her to sling over her back as she usually might, though she struggles to lift it anyways. “I’m back,” she grins up at him, blue eyes bright in the sunlight that streams in from overhead. “Hey, aren’t you happy to see me?” She’s pouting now, hands on her hips, bag forgotten on the ground at her feet. “I’m back early for once!”

He blinks back into reality, realizing only then that the mere sight of her had transferred him into another dimension altogether. “Keh,” he rolls his golden eyes, but reaches in, taking first her by the hand so he can pull her up and out of the well, settling her safely onto the ground at his side. Then her bag comes next, which he throws over his own shoulder, shaking his head at her protest to carry it. “What’d you bring with you anyway?” He asks, noting the heaviness of the bag, even to him. 

“My school books,” she explains with a sheepish sort of grin, ivory cheeks stained pink. 

Kagome can’t really explain it, but she had felt a need to return to the feudal era… Had felt a need to return to him. Not because she sensed danger or she’d become overwhelmed by a sense of fear or concern. No… Simply because she had yearned to be by his side once more. In the year or more that they had been together, it had become rarer and rarer for them to be apart- her time spent in her own era seemed less frequent, especially in the last few months. Being without Inuyasha… Well, it left her feeling lonely, even if their time apart was only meant to be for a few days. 

When it comes right down to it, she’d wanted to come back to be with him, nothing more, nothing less. 

He wrinkles his nose at her response, just as she knew he would, but they fall into step alongside one another anyways, making their way back towards where surely their friends would be waiting for his return, her arrival certainly to be a pleasant surprise. As they walk, the realization dawns upon him, that now that she is back beside him, he feels whole once more. The loneliness, the emptiness, all of those feelings he’d felt without her were slowly fading away, being replaced by the warm, soft feeling he associated with her. 

And he hopes it never goes away again.
