Silence filled the area around me. The echo's of a sudden clash was only repeated through the atmosphere. I looked towards the deafening sound. I saw blood. Gallons and gallons of blood poured out of his body.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. Everyone ran towards his falling body. I even dropped my sword and ran towards him with tears streaming from my eyes. By the time that I made it, his face was buried in Kagome's embrace. I dropped beside Kagome, and placed a hand on his hand. He coughed. Kagome laid his head gently on the ground. His piercing Amber eyes were clear, and shimmer. He had tears in his eyes.
"Oh…My…God…" I whispered breathlessly. Some tears fell on his haori. They sank deeply in the material, and I couldn't breathe. He struggled to get some words out of his mouth. Kagome buried her face in his chest. He didn't care. Inuyasha was looking at me. He wanted me to know something, but he didn't say it. Some blood triggered down his bottom lips. I wiped it away with my shaking finger. He became calmer, and his eyes slowly shut, when he blinked. I could hear Kagome sobbing uncontrollably, and Shippo was sobbing by Kagome's side too. Miroku was trying to calm Kagome down a bit. I placed my fingers on his skin. It was smooth and soft.
"You'll be okay." I whispered. I wanted to believe that he would be alright. I could see a tear escape his eyes and he tried desperately to wipe away the tear making its way down my face. I stopped his hand, and clutched onto it hard.
"I won't make it." He mouthed. I shook my head.
"You'll be fine Inuyasha." I whispered. He chuckled.
"No." "Take care of Kagome for me." I nodded. My eyes widened when his breath sounded weaker. He lay back down. I could see the wound on his chest open gradually, and the blood poured out. I felt it and he growled. "Sango-." He let go of my hand, and his head dropped to the ground. Time froze for a second. I could see a flash in his eyes, and he died.

'Knock, Knock.' I looked at the door.
"Come In." I said. A woman came in the room.
"Hey Sango, dinner's ready." She said. I smiled.
"I'll be down in a second." I assured. She smiled softly and ruffled my hair.
"Alright." She left my room, and shut the door behind her.
It's been two years since Inuyasha died. He died in the last fierce full battle between Naraku. I lost my brother, and my friend in that battle. Ever since their departure, Naraku had been killed, Kagura had been freed, and the Shikon Jewel was burnt, and buried in Kikyou's Burial. Life had a different path for all of us. I felt as though I had nothing left to do, and Kagome offered me a home in her time. I happily accepted. Being in the federal time gave me painful memories, and a new start in life was highly recommended in my pleasure. I lived in Kagome's home for five months as an orphan, until a family wanted to take me away. They are great people. I have a young brother named Sam, A great mother, father, and of course my lovely Kirara. I have a different identity now. My name is Sango Taiji, I am eighteen years old, and I attend Eastward University.
It was very hard to leave everything behind, even my true self, but life now has been something worth living. Miroku decided to stay back in the federal time, along with Shippo. Miroku and I departed in a weird way. I said my goodbye to him, and he wished me luck for the future. He said he'd be there for me when ever I needed him. I promised I'd see him again someday.
The well is now sealed, and my past is gone. Kagome turned out to be in a fashion career, and she attends the local fashions department in downtown. I'm happy for her. Every Friday night is movie night. I go over to Kagome's house for a movie and snacks. Each Friday has its own movie Genre. Tonight we're watching 'Sleepy Hollow.' I glance at the clock. 7:48pm. I quickly put on some jeans, a brown t-shirt, and my Casper sweater. I run down the stairs.
"Slow down skipper." John said.
"Sorry John." I replied.
"How many times have I told you to call me dad?" He playfully mocked. I sighed.
"Sorry dad." I said. He chuckled.
"Where are you heading to?" He asked me. I looked at the door.
"Kags place." I answered.
"Without dinner?"
"Dad…" He shrugged.
"Alright, alright. Be back before 12pm, and no boys!" I chuckled, and grabbed my car keys.
It only took several minutes to get from home to Kagome's house. I parked my black Pontiac, and headed up the shrine steps. I knocked at the door, and Sota answered.
"Heya." He greeted. Sota was about 12 years old now, and he'd matured from the first time I saw him. I chuckled.
"Boo." He smiled.
"She's in the living room." I nodded and headed in the living room. There I saw Kagome sitting on the couch watching TV.
"What's up?" I asked and dropped my bag inches away from her. It looked as if she'd just noticed I was here.
"Hey!" She said, and rubbed her eyes franticly.
"Tired?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Not even close." She laughed. I too chuckled with her. I walked into the hallway, opened the closet door, and hung my jacket on the rack. The door knocked and I jumped slightly. I saw Kagome's mom walking down the stairs.
"Hey Sango!" She happily greeted me. I smiled in return. Mrs. Higurashi opened the door, and I heard a feminine voice from outside.
"You ready?" She asked. Kagome's mom answered with a
"Mhm." I made my way back into the living room. "Kagome, take care of Sota, I'll be gone for a few hours with Grandpa and some other people." Kagome looked at her mother.
"Alright mom, have fun." She answered not really taking her focus from the TV. Her mother smiled.
"Bye Sango."
"See ya."

I pondered just watching Kagome looking at the TV. 10 minutes had gone by, and we were still watching CSI. I got annoyed, there had to be a way to get her attention off the stupid TV. I got up.
"I'm gonna grab something to eat." I told her. She turned from the screen to look at me.
"Yeah, I'll come too." She said and got up.
"Aren't you going to finish watching this?" I asked her. She sighed.
"I've already seen this episode." I grunted. Thanks a lot Kags…
We walked into the kitchen, and Kagome plopped a seat at the table snacking on some toast. I looked through her cupboards and found some chips. I took the bag and sat on the counter. She sighed.
"What's up?" I wondered. She looked at the ground.
"I miss everyone." She said. Some tears dwelled up in her brown eyes. I swallowed the chip really hard. It felt as though it scratched the back of my throat. I looked at the ground and placed the bag beside me.
"Yeah, me too." I said. She started chuckling while a few tears fell down.
"I miss the smell…" She stumbled on the last words. "And Inuyasha." I looked out the window trying not to show any emotions. I nodded in agreement. That odd feeling persuaded my guts. I felt wet tears fall down my face. I roughly wiped them away.
"I miss everything." I whispered. It hurt. Why did she have to bring it up? Her life isn't as bad. I mean, we did lose Inuyasha. She loved Inuyasha, he was the reason she'd go back to my time in the Federal Era. It's not the same. She didn't leave much behind. I left home, family, and my love, well sort of… I wondered many times how Miroku was. Has he found a woman? Is he expecting a child? Whatever happened, I felt proud for him. There was some beauty in our goodbye. It made me more mature of making decisions. I left him with no guilt, just the best of wishes.
"So, are we going to watch the movie?" She asked wiping the dry tears from her eyes. I nodded.
"Yeah let's go."

After the movie had finally ended with the scene of Johnny Depp standing there of what appeared to be a hunk to many girls, I yawned. I got very tired during those horror films. They weren't scary, just…Boring in a way. Kagome yawned too. Contagious?
"So, do you want to sleep here?" She asked. I shook my head.
"Naw…I have to catch up on some things tomorrow afternoon." I said. She nodded and followed me to the door. I said my goodbye, and drove home.

The next morning was horrible. The radio announced a small snow blizzard. That meant the roads must be pretty dangerous. I shrugged. It didn't matter. I turned off my alarm that was ringing like a maniac for 5 minutes, and headed to my bathroom. Today wasn't my day.
I started the water in the shower. I fiddled with the knobs until the perfect temperature was found. I took of my clothes and dipped in the shower. I'm proud how the water can heal stress. It didn't take much time that I got out, rapped a towel around myself, and began blow-drying my hair. After, I ran to my dresser, and found a good pair of cargo pants, along with a black skull shirt. I put that on, applied my eyeliner, put my hair up, and ran downstairs.
"Morning Skipper." John called.
"Morning Dad." I said. "Where's mom?"
"She took Sam to hockey." He said sipping his coffee. I sighed, and walked to the fridge taking out my breakfast. Simple cereal and an apple. I sat down by dad.
"So how was the movie?" He asked me. I shrugged.
"Fine." I answered simply bored. He sighed.
"Fine?" He repeated. I rolled my eyes. "I thought you were a horror fan."
"I'm not a headless horseman fanatic dad." I told him. He nodded.
"Well, I have to get to work." He sighed.
"Okay. See ya later." I said smiling. He kissed my forehead and headed to the door. I heard the door shut. I didn't do anything really. I had some classes this afternoon, but it wasn't mandatory. I got up, grabbed my bag, and headed out the door. I guess I'd go to class. I walked down the busy street. It finally looked empty as I ended up down my secret path. There was no point in looking where I was going. No one ever took this pathway. I held my jacket to my chin. The cold air was welcomed, but not that proudly. I heard the snow scrunch between my steps. I yawned.
'Crash.' I looked up. I had crashed into someone while walking. I hadn't noticed that my bag had fallen. I reached down to get it. A hand beat me to it.
"Sorry about that." He said. The voice was a little low, but very unique. It was defiantly a guy's voice. I took my bag and shook my head.
"Don't worry about it. It was my fault." I apologized. In a whisper I heard a 'Feh.' My eyes widened. It couldn't have been. Not his voice. Inuyasha was dead. I looked up at the guy. I couldn't see right. His hood was blocking a shadowy part of his face. I let it go. "Sorry." I whispered. Through the corner of the hood, I could see a smirk. My mind had been playing games with me or something! I just started to walk away, and continue my path to school.
In the clearing I could see it. Big and welcoming. I entered. My first class was the music. I had trouble finding what job I'd want in the future. I'd always had a flute ever since a child and I wanted to join the musicals, but then another part wanted me to be involved in law, ever since I came in this era. The day went by pretty fast. I stopped at the last class, and read the note on the door.
'Class Cancelled.' I sighed. Just great…I thought. I managed to walk out of the school, and I ended up walking back home. As I made my way towards the house, I could see some moving trucks carrying things into the house next to us. I kept watching the people moving furniture and things, until I heard the click from my house keys, and I went inside.

His face was almost pale. He stuck his hands out for me to reach them. I was terrified that they couldn't make it. I was scared that I'd lose him. The distance between us two were mere feet apart, and each second, made me farther apart from him. He was gone forever. Inuyasha was gone…
I moved aside from the bed and opened my eyes. I had drifted off to sleep. I looked at the clock 8:15pm. I groaned. People were talking downstairs. I got up, and opened my door to hear clearly. Sam came running up the stairs.
"Sam, what's happening?" I asked him.
"The next door neighbours are here." He said. Sam pushed my hands out of the way, and ran to the bathroom. I tried to look down the stair case and peek at the people. No use. Mom called after me.
"Sango! Come downstairs please." She said. I made my way halfway down the stairs. A beautiful woman looked at me.
"Why hello young lady" she said. Everyone brought their attention at me. I smiled. "What's your name?" She asked.
"Sango." I answered. She chuckled a feminine laugh.
"Well Sango, have you met my son?" She asked. I shook my head. She looked to her right, and the boy came in the hallway. I froze in place. My eyes were glued on the person in front of me.
"Inuyasha?" I whispered. He looked at me oddly. His mother laughed.
"Have you two met before?" She asked. I didn't answer. This was Inuyasha, but not the Inuyasha that left me 2 years ago, he was human. His dog ears were gone, and his silver hair was black. Everyone just stared at us two. I wasn't paying attention. I was too shocked to exchange any glances. He looked at me like I was crazy, and I began to walk down the stairs to look at him closer. By the time that I made my whole way down the stairs, everyone else had left in the living room. It was only me and the boy. He grunted.
"Yeah, I'm Inuyasha…"
