I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. Except the ones I created.

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

Kagome jumped out of the well into the Feudal Era and headed towards Kaede's village lugging her enormous backpack behind her. She was smiling, but she was thinking of how much her life had changed in little under a year.

Flashback

Kagome sat in a small wooden chair, her hands fidgeting with her shirt. Inuyasha was sitting next to her, wriggling impatiently.

"Miroku, is she ready yet!" he yelled to the purple clad monk standing in front of them, talking to a priest clad in black.

He tore away from his previous conversation and turned to Inuyasha.

"Not yet Inuyasha, you know I can't visit the bride before the wedding."

Inuyasha 'feh'd'and turned to Kagome.

"Oi wench, you can go check on Sango right."

Kagome sighed. "Alright Inuyasha."

She headed to a side door and opened it, revealing a short hallway. She traveled down it until she reached a few doors down.

She opened the door to see Sango in a beautiful silver and white floor length dress, pacing nervously. Hearing the door open gently, she looked up.

"Oh Kagome!" She cried wrapping her friend in a hug.

"Sango, what's wrong? You nervous? Is that it?" Kagome asked, concerned.

"No, it's not that, I know Miroku's the one, but, well, this will change my life, you know? Like, after this, we'll all drift apart."

"Sango, what are you saying! We'll never drift apart! Yes, you and Miroku might leave to start a family, but until then, we'll make the most of this. And if we do drift, Inuyasha and I will visit. Well, I will, I don't know about Inuyasha."

"Oh, thanks Kag." Sango drew a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, I'm ready."

Kagome opened the door, and followed Sango into the hallway.

End Flashback.

About a week later, they had destroyed Naraku and gotten the remaining shards. Inuyasha and Kagome had combined the Windscar and one of Kagome's purification arrows. It had purified Naraku to ashes, and the wind had swept it away. Sesshomaru had freed Kagura and Kanna with the Tensaiga and gave Kagura a very small portion of the Western lands to live on, but it was so small that only Kagura and Kanna could live on it.

Sesshomaru waited until Kagura had left, and then came to Inuyasha and told him he would no longer try to kill him. He said it was simply that Inuyasha and him were the only remaining members of their family and they should learn to cooperate to keep their name pure. Inuyasha told them later that it was because Sesshomaru didn't want his butt kicked too badly and he wanted all his remaining limbs.

Sango and Miroku moved away about 3 months after their wedding and they moved very far away for peace and quiet. Kagome was sad to see her best friend leave, but she if Sango was happy, she was happy. She was a little lonely since the 'group' had separated, even though she still stuck around with Inuyasha.

"Where is he anyway?" she thought.

Her backpack was a little heavier than usual because her family moved to America a couple days earlier for her grandfather's heath and her mother's new job. She sadly said good-bye to them and loaded all her belongings she needed into her backpack. She couldn't deny it any longer.

Her world has changed.

Her loving family was half way across the globe, her best friends had married and moved away, her son had gone to his rightful place, and she had graduated high school. Her mother made it so that she didn't have to attend college and stay in the Feudal Era.

She still wore her school uniform, but she didn't know why. It was probably because she didn't know what she would wear if she did change her outfit.

As she approached the Goshinboku, she heard a faint rustling in the trees and then she knew where Inuyasha was.
