I wonder if they even realize how deep the bonds of loyalty between them run?
Side by side they're walking in front of me, only breaths of space between them. Every once in a while they'll brush hands or close the already small gap between them.
After a battle she'll walk up and lean into him, resting a hand upon his shoulder. By the campfire he'll rest his arm on her back or pull her closer around the center. These actions seem so natural; they don't even seem to notice.
When I chanced upon the two, it didn't take long to realize that Kagome-sama was beyond my reach. (For indeed I did pursue her, InuYasha is a lucky man regarding Kagome in a corporal sense as well.)
I soon discovered they hadn't known each other long. Although they bickered more than they held each other (and I found there were times they would bicker while holding each other), they already had found something marvelous in one another.
As time went on I had the privilege of watching that bond strengthen and grow.
Trust and devotion so deep Naraku's all-too-clever plans could not diminish it. Love, young and innocent, but steeped in genuine emotion. And loyalty. They followed each other everywhere, even through time itself.
I glance to them once more. They've stopped, as InuYasha gestures for Kagome-sama to climb upon his back. With a smile, she does so, her arms around his waist. Averting my eyes, I note a small tear in the bottom of Kagome-sama's shoe.
She's not said anything and he noticed, solving a problem she hadn't even felt worth mentioning.
Kagome-sama and InuYasha may not yet know the depth of the loyalty between them, but perhaps they don't need to.
They act upon it just the same.
