Chapter One
The Departure That Changed Their Lives Forever.
The group was in combat against Naraku and his demon minions. Kouga had temporarily joined forces with the gang to avenge his kin. Sango, Miroku, and Kouga were all fighting against Kagura, while Inuyasha and Kagome were in battle with the despicable Naraku. ((A/N: They left Shippo with Kaede so he wouldn't get hurt)) They all had been fighting for hours on end, when Naraku finally got a hit into Inuyasha. The blow knocked Inuyasha unconscious. Kagome was watching in horror. The sight of Inuyasha laying there limp was unbearable. She was filled with rage. She shot her most powerful arrow straight into Naraku's heart. He disintegrated into dust. As he turned to ash Kagura as well suffered the same fate.
"If I knew my fate was to die when Naraku was killed, then I never wished for my freedom that desperately." Kagura managed to sputter in her last breath.
"Wow Kagome I've never seen you fight like that. What got into you?" Inuyasha said laying there in pain not able to move.
"I don't know. When I saw you laying there unconscious I filled with rage and next thing I know I had killed Naraku." Kagome said holding the rest of the jewel shards. She put them next to her own shards they had worked so hard to collect. The shards fused together, creating the whole jewel once more.
"Inuyasha this is yours now. Our goal has been met. The jewel is now whole once more. It is yours for the taking. You can become full demon just as you planned to do. But before you use it Inuyasha, I want you to know something." Kagome stared into his golden eyes intently. Gazing deep into his heart and soul.
Inuyasha gazed into her eyes as well. But what he saw made him realize something much more than before. He knew that he loved her and could not be without her, but what he realized was something more. Kagome was about to say something. What she was about to say would change his life forever.
"Kagome..." He whispered under his breath low enough that only Kagome could hear seeing she was standing only inches away from him.
"Inuyasha I want you to know this before you make your choice that will change your life forever. I want you to know that I love you. I love you the way you are, don't go changing just because you're different. God made you different for a reason. I love you as a hanyou I don't ever want you to change. The past is the past it can not be changed. You know that as well as I do. Don't go changing because of your past. Don't tie yourself to a part of your life that is already lived. Be who you are. You are different for a reason. I love you as a hanyou don't change that. Be who you are. Don't try to be what your not. Well, what I'm trying to say is this. Inuyasha I love you the way you are, a hanyou. Don't change that for power. That will only make you just like Naraku." Kagome flooded out her emotions still gazing intently into his golden eyes.
"Kagome I love you too. I've always loved you. I just never told you because I thought you would reject someone like me. I thought you would want someone worthy of you someone like that Hojo guy for friends say you're perfect for. But now I see I was the one wrong to think your friends were right. Kagome I can't use this. I don't want the power that I thought I would need. I want you to have it." Inuyasha said putting the jewel in Kagome's hand and closing her hand into a fist.
"Inuyasha I can't. Its yours after all that was the whole reason we went on this journey in the first place." Kagome said giving the jewel to Inuyasha.
"If you don't become a full demon then make another wish. I have faith in you that you will wish for something wonderful and resolve the waging battle between Midoriko and the demon." Kagome tore her eyes out of the gaze and looked towards the ground her hair shading over her eyes.
"Kagome what's wrong you're hiding something from me. you want to tell me something don't you?" Inuyasha's face saddened in fear of rejection.
"Inuyasha I...I can't stay here with you. I'm sorry I really want to stay with you but my home is in the future I don't belong here. I made up my mind. I'm sorry this is harder for me than it is for you. You know I could love no other but you. I will have to live my life alone. No man can fill the void left from leaving you. Inuyasha my mind says go home to your own time you belong there, but my heart tells me different. My heart urns to stay with you, to be with you for the rest of my life." Kagome said turning on her heel, running towards the well. Inuyasha caught up to her before she could jump down thru the well. He grabbed her wrist trying to stop her. She unexpectedly stopped on her own. She looked at the ground for a few seconds then twirled around flying into Inuyasha's arms, never wanted to let go, thinking this would be her last good bye until she dies. Then once more they can be together in eternity. Inuyasha startled at the emotional outburst she showed towards him. He never felt more truer to himself when he was in Kagome's arms. He lowered his head over her shoulder letting his hair shadow over his eyes.
"Kagome I understand, but you will always be by my side and in my heart. When you feel alone, feel that there is no one there on your side, hold this in your hands and you will be right here next to me." Inuyasha said putting a necklace around Kagome's neck. It was the crystal dagger he had made for someone special but he thought for the longest time that he was wasting his time, that no one could ever love him.
"I love you Inuyasha. You will always be in my heart ." Kagome whispered in his ear and she jumped down the well never again could she turn back to see his comforting face. He held the jewel now, there were no ties left linking her to the Feudal Era.
