What should I protect? Without a doubt there was only one thing; an echoing cry, a sound made in vain within the deep forest. The reason I could hold aback my tears was because of the warmth when our fingers touched. A future witbout you holds no meaning to me..."

CHAPTER: 1
""From the moment she brought the Jewel to this era, Kagome's fate was sealed. She was born to become part of the Jewel and continue it's everlasasting battle."
"No! She wasn't born for this! Kagome taught me how to smile, to trust, to make friends and rely on them, to shed tears for others, Kagome was born to meet me, and I was born for her."
Kagome was gone and he was here, alone waiting by the well, hoping for her return,missing her, and the ways in which she'd turn around all fiery eyed and furious over whatever careless thought spilled from his mouth. She made him happy. She trusted and believed in him. He would wait, even if Kagome never returned.
"InuYasha?" The hanyou looked up, meeting Miroku's eyes.
The new moon was coming, a new moon without Kagome to comfort him, keep him company, and calm his fears, she'd accepted, loved and protected him.
"We should make arrangements for tonight." Miroku said.
"Yeah, okay." InuYasha shrugged, though he was terrified...
Naraku was dead and the malevolent wishes of the Jewel were never realized. Kagome was home, safe. Would things still turn out alright?
