atra Spei: Hello there! I know I should not start a new story, for I have the other one I'm currently rewritting – but it's so lame! Uh! So... I'm starting a story about Inu no Taishou and Kagome – because I hate those two sooooo badly. So I thought – hey, why don't give it a try? And it's quite popular, too! So I'll try. If this story becomes totally shitty 0 I'll remove it ;)

Next thing. English is not my native language, so pardon my mistakes.

What can I tell you know? There'll be lots of Inu no Taishou (Touga), little Sesshoumaru and his 'lovely' mother (Tsukiko), Kagome and Ryuukotsusei, so I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it at 05 a.m.

And review.

Disclaimer: I really have no idea why should I posting this disclaimer? Come on, if I owned Inuyasha I wouldn't post stupid stories on some fan site. But... I'll find a good use for it. I don't own song lyrics. The enchanted "The Seven Angels" song belongs to Avantasia :)

Now, with the story.

Hey, don't know but i wondered:
When we lost the seal again
Maybe stoned by the incense
Do we rise or just descent

The Unknown

Now the time has come, the end's begun
And the only one will come

Puddles of blood staining green grass spoke of one of the biggest massacres in Feudal Era. The final battle was over. Leaden clouds decorated grey sky. Heavy winds carried dead hanyou's remains far away from the battlefield. Even in death, Kagura made sure, than no one would be able to bring back to life Naraku, who turned into dust when the final blow's been delivered.

Here, in the clearing, stood not so small group of demons and humans along with our white-haired hanyou. "It's finally... Over." Muttered Inuyasha. They fought Naraku for so long and finally they killed the vicious kumo-hanyou. But no one was really happy. The battle took it's toll on them and required some sacrifices.

Sango woke up from her trance and lowered her eyes to the ground. Tears trailed down her cheeks and fell to the ground. "Kohaku..." She whispered. Soon, she dropped to her knees and hid face in her hands. No one came to her side to comfort her. No one had anything to say. They just stood there, staring at the sky, as it took it's pity on her and started crying with demon slayer.

Sesshoumaru, who was standing in the back turned his head to the left, where under one of trees laid young human boy. He stared at tree's crown with his lifeless eyes. Kohaku did not survive the battle. When the Shikon fragment had been removed from his back, he lost his life. Sesshoumaru didn't even try to save him. He knew he couldn't do anything for him. He gripped Tenseiga's hilt with his right hand. But it did not answer his call. Kohaku will stay dead for the rest of eternity.

Sesshoumaru averted his eyes from the former member of his group and looked down at Rin's uncoscious form lying against his chest. Small smile appeared on his face. Rin wasn't seriously injured. She had only few scratches here and there, and other than being uncoscious, she was fine. Sesshoumaru did not know what he would do without her. He lost her once and did not want this to happen again, ever.

Sesshoumaru turned around to leave and started walking away, followed by slightly limping Ah-Un. For the last time Jaken glanced at Kohaku, then shook his head and followed his master. Soon, he had to stop his bruised self, when he bumped into Sesshoumaru's leg, for the demon lord suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard his name being called.

"Sesshoumaru." He heard priestess say. "We're going to use Shikon no Tama." She stated, as she held small pink jewel in her hands. She has just purified it and decided it would be fair enough if everyone got one wish from it. "Why won't you stay and-" She's been cut off by him.

"I have no wishes for anything." He stated and once again started walking. He had nothing to wish for, right? Rin was there and that was all that mattered. Kagome took a deep breath.

"Sesshoumaru." She said again. "Thank you. For your help." But he's already been gone.

Kagome looked at Shikon jewel. How many people did die because of that small stone? And, since Shikon jewel was whole once again, what was her purpose in staying in Feudal era? She knew it's the end of her journey, she just coudn't voice her thoughts outloud. She felt tears coming up to her eyes, she couldn't hold them anymore.

But no one noticed, for they've been washed down with raindrops hitting her face. She turned her head to the side and looked at Inuyasha crouching next to Miroku, who tried to sit up. He has lost lots of energy because of Saimyoushou's poison. But with Naraku gone, he felt a little better. He romeved sealing beads from around his hand and looked at it. Small smile enlightened his features when he noticed, that Kazaana's gone. Slowly he got up and walked up to Sango.

Inuyasha followed him with his eyes. When Miroku put his arms around Sango's waist, he turned his eyes away and looked at Kagome. "Inuyasha."

"What's wrong, Kagome?" He asked. Maybe he wasn't joyous, but he was glad, but seeing Kagome's pained expression, all happiness left him.

Kagome shook her head, spreading water everywhere. "It's nothing. Let's go... For a walk. I need to talk to you." She said seriously, and then she turned around and disappeared among many trees. Inuyasha shot one last glance to their group, then run after priestess.

"Kagome, what wrong?!" He shouted, as he stopped infront of her. She looked into his eyes, then placed her arms around his neck. Inuyasha just stared at her confused. Soon, she removed her hands and along with them went beads of subjugation. She placed them around her wrist. "W-why?" He asked.

"I won't need them anymore." She said sadly. 'And they'll make me remember about you.' She thought. Inuyasha tilted his head to the side, then placed his hand on her forehead. Kagome sighed. "I don't have a fever." She stated.

"Then what's going on?" He asked, as he removed his hand. Kagome gripped Shikon no Tama harder.

"We will use Shikon no Tama." She said.

"Yeah, I know. So what?"

"And then it shall come back to my body." She added. Inuyasha nodded his head.

"Still, I don't see you problem." He stated. Inuyasha closed his eyes and put his hands behind his head.

"And then, I'll leave." Said Kagome and started sobbing. Inuyasha opened his eyes.

"W-what?" He stuttered out. "But you can't!"

She shook her head. "Let's go back to the village. I'll tell the others and leave. Tonight."

They were sitting in Kaede's hut. Miroku glanced at Kagome and Inuyasha. They were unusually silent. "Hmm..." He tried to break uncomfortable silence. "So... What about Shikon jewel? Are you going to use it, Inuyasha?" He asked. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. He really wanted to become full demon, but using jewel meant that Kagome would leave faster and he did not want it.

"I'll use it in the right time." He stated stubbornly. Kagome sighed.

"Inuyasha, I think the right time has come." She handed him the jewel and Inuyasha just stared at it. When he held it he felt strange energy running through his veins. With new flow of power he forgot about everyone around him.

"I want to become youkai." He voiced his wish. But he didn't feel any other new sensations. Nothing happened. "What? It's not working!" He complained. Kaede cupped her chin.

"Maybe it's been too tainted with Naraku's youki? And it's powers became weaker. Or Midoriko herself has been weakened by all those evil powers." She thought outloud.

"That would be horrible." Said Sango quietly. The thought of Shikon no Tama losing it's powers broke her heart. It's been the last chance to bring Kohaku back. Kagome looked at her knees.

"Maybe Inuyasha is destinated to be hanyou..." Spoke Miroku. "Or Midoriko-sama doesn't have powers to change him. He's different than Naraku, after all." Inuyasha narrowed his eyes even harder. "What do you mean, monk?"

Miroku looked up at him. "You're a hanyou. One of your parents was human, one demon." He stated. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Really?" But Miroku ignored him.

"Maybe nothing can change it. You just can't be youkai with human mother. It's your heritage. You can become stronger, but you'll forever be a hanyou."

"Keh." Inuyasha glanced at Kagome, as she put pink jewel in her palm. His face dropped when he saw her eyes. He knew what was coming next.

"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha turned his head to face Shippou, who stayed in the village whole this time. "Where are your beads?" So everyone noticed.

"I took them off." Stated Kagome. She took a deep breath. "Guys, I need to tell you something." She said.

"No." Whispered Inuyasha. He didn't want her to go. He lost Kikyou. He couldn't lose Kagome, too!

"What is it, Kagome-sama?" Asked Miroku.

"I'm going home."

Miroku blinked a few times. "Of course. And when will you be back?" He asked out of curiousity. She shook her head.

"I don't think I'll come back. I-I mean... If there is nothing more for me to do, the well will probably close. If it doesn't, I'll come back."

Too late. Shippou started crying. "Nooo! You can't leave! We need you! I need you!" He cried as Kagome cuddled him in his arms.

"I can't promise I'll be back." She said honestly while petting little kitune's head.

She would have never imagined saying farewell to be that hard.

And here she was. Back home. Back to her ordinary life. It seemed so... Boring. She went back to school, and once again she admitted, she'd rather fight Naraku , than have another math test.

She even agreed to go out with Hojo and watch some movie. But deep inside she prayed Inuyasha would come and save her from it. He didn't. And that meant only one thing.

The well is closed.

But she was too afriad to check it herself. Or maybe not afraid. She just didn't want to be disappointed. Though, she wanted to see her friends very much. She was sulking for two weeks, when finally she decided to try.

On the Friday, after school she entered the shrine and leaned against old well's edge. She looked down and sighed.

"Are you there, Inuyasha?" She asked quietly. "You know... I miss you." She said. Kagome averted her eyes and looked at the door with half-lidded eyes. "Do you miss me, too?"

She closed her eyes, then moved her legs over the edge of the well. Finally, she jumped down.

Only to hit hard ground there. She opened her eyes and looked up. "I'm still here." She stated as she saw wooden ceiling of the shrine. She smiled a crooked smile. "It's okay. You know I started new school. I wouldn't want to ruin my new uniform, right?"

She stood up and shook off the dust from her yellow checked skirt and grey cardigan. Carefully, she started climbing up and finally get out of well. "It's okay." But, oh! Who did she try to fool? It's not okay.

She couldn't stand that anymore. She placed her hand on Inuyasha's beads she had around her neck. But her fingers touched something else. Small round stone. Right. She stil hasn't sealed it away. Maybe it's time to do so.

She put her hands on the Shikon jewel, then placed it on her chest, where her heart was. And she prayed. Though, she did not even know what's she prayed for.

Feeling warmth emanating from the jewel, she pressed it even harder against herself. Feeling it's power flowing back into her she though it's the last chance to see Inuyasha again.

'Please. I want to go back.'

Just to see him again.

'It would be fine to start my journey from the very beginning. Only to see...'

Him.

She felt dizzy. Soon, she lost balance, but she did not care, for she once again fall down the well. But she didn't hit ground.

Purple light swallowed her, as vortex opened again.

Soft smile appeared on her lips.

'I'm coming...'

Now, should I continue? Or should I stop, because it's lame? Review, please :) It's 11 o'clock now O.o Oh, well...
