Riku Ryuu's Prompt - Distance

~ooO Distance Ooo~

Souta hated the distance Kagome was maintaining between them. She had always been open about the ups and downs of her travels in the past, mostly glossing over the downs, but she had always talked to them! But now, she was like a broken doll.

Souta loved his sister, he had been simultaneously both proud and jealous and fearful. Proud because she was the Shikon miko, guardian of the relic jii-jii was so fond of. Jealous because she got to miss school, travel around Japan, have all these adventures and meet all these nifty people. Fearful because there had been a growing distance between the two of them, and he honestly looked up to and loved his sister. But Kaa-san had reassured Souta that Kagome loved them, that she would not leave them, when the journey was over she would come back to them.

Then this happened.

His beloved elder sister was back in the future but it felt like she was a million miles away, trapped in her memories of the past. She did not see him, or kaa-san, or jii-jii. She did not want to live. She was always so sad, so depressed, it made Souta worried.

Now Souta knew he would miss her if she resumed her travels to the past, or even chose to permanently stay there, but if it would make her happy and whole, he would accept it. He just wanted the old happy Kagome back.
