I do not own Inuyasha...but if i did there would be A LOT of changes XD

"Kagome!" Her mother brother and grandfather exclaimed when they saw her emerging from the bone-eater's well with Inuyasha. Kagome rushed out and hugged them.

"Kagome, we were so worried about you!" Her grandfather said. Tears poured down her cheeks as she recalled what had happened. After they had defeated Naraku, she got sucked into a deep void of blackness created by Naraku's last wish he made on the Shikon no Tama. The well had closed up and she was in the darkness for three whole days. Inuyasha had come to save her and the wish she made on the jewel brought her back home. Now she turned to Inuyasha with tears of gratitude and love in her eyes.

"Inuyasha saved me. Inuyasha, thank…"Kagome began but was cut off when Inuyasha was surrounded by a bright light. He was sucked back into the well in a blink of an eye.

"Inuyasha!? Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted into the well. Kagome jumped down the well. She clawed at the ground in utter desperation.

"Why? Why is the well not connecting? Why can't I reach Inuyasha?!" She screamed in her mind as tears fell from her eyes to the ground.

Since then, the well no longer connected.

Mirouku looked up at the night sky. He walked out of the hut and went to look for Inuyasha. It was the night of the new moon.

He found him on the outskirts of the village in his favorite tree. He tried not to make any noise as he approached the bottom of the tree. The bells of his staff still jingled but Inuyasha seemed too caught up with what he was doing to notice him anyway. When he looked closer, Mirouku saw that Inuyasha was staring at something. He soon recognized it as the locket Kagome had given such a long time ago. Inuyasha was staring at it with unblinking eyes. Through the dim light of the night Mirouku could still see that his face was filled with emotion. He swore that he saw a single tear roll down his cheek.

Mirouku knew that when Inuyasha was human he was much more vulnerable both physically and emotionally. He couldn't bear to think how painful it was for Inuyasha when the well refused to connect months ago. Since then, Inuyasha refused to talk about Kagome but everyone could tell that inside he was hurting more and more every day. Mirouku sighed and turned. They all missed Kagome but it was Inuyasha that was affected the most. It has been almost a year since they defeated Naraku and the well stopped connecting. Ever since then, things had never been the same.

Mirouku walked back to the village, not even knowing how to comprehend how Inuyasha felt.
