Hi everyone. this is my second fan fic but is my first long and detailed story. I do not own Inuyasha nor the characters therein. The ideas for this story are completely my own, coming to me one day while looking at my hobby/collection. enjoy :)

'Another day in feudal Japan.' Sighs heavily. "Well, I guess I had best get breakfast started."

It's been almost a month now since they defeated Naraku and completed the jewel. Miroku lost his 'wind tunnel' and so it was no longer a threat to his well being. Sango finally got her brother back. With the jewel shard sustaining him for so long, Kohaku's body was able to heal on its own to the point that he didn't need the jewel any longer. He was still very weak and needed more time to recover fully, but to Sango's relief, he would fine. Inuyasha completed his vow of avenging kikyo, although he was still very upset. Knowing what was wrong, Kagome decided she must make a very difficult decision. In the end, she went home to her own time, said goodbye to everyone and she'd see them again someday. When she reached the Feudal era once again, she took the jewel and made her wish. As she suspected, the jewel and the well were connected and once the jewel was gone so was her way back home.

Noticing someone to the side of her, she turned around to see Kikyo.

-flashback-

"I didn't expect you to be here so soon."

Kikyo looked at her surprised. "I've lost my soul collectors. I'm alive again."

"Yes. I would expect you to be." She said in a detached tone.

"But why? Why would you do such a thing, Kagome. Especially after what I've done to you."

Shrugging her shoulders, "It wasn't your fault you died. Besides, Inuyasha is a dear friend. You being alive would make him happy."

"Thank you, Kagome."

Kagome stepped up to her and took her hand. "Come. Let's go see everyone."

Kikyo smiled, "Yes, let's." She looked at Kagome's hand, which was lightly grasping hers, "Does this mean we can be fiends?"

Kagome smiled at her knowingly. "I do believe it does."

-End Flashback-

"Do you need any help with breakfast?"

Smiling lightly, "Sure Kikyo, I'd like that."

They began working on breakfast together in companionable silence. Once everything was just about ready, everyone started to wake up to the delightful aromas.

Miroku, getting up from beside Sango, was the first one up. "So ladies," he asked while rubbing his hands together, "what's for breakfast this beautiful morning day?"

Kagome looked up at him smiling happily. "Yummy delicious food that you shall be praising for the next week."

"Ooo, in that case I can't wait. I will go and wake my dear beautiful Sango." And with that he left with a devilish grin.

About a week after Naraku died, Miroku proposed to Sango and they've been inseparable since. Shortly after that, Kikyo became Inuyasha's mate. It wasn't a surprise to everyone that he chose Kikyo, he and Kagome had an understanding that they would always be the best of friends. Even so, Inuyasha knew that Kagome would never accept him in that way. He didn't know how he knew, he just did.

Kikyo got a couple of plates ready when breakfast was done. "I'll take this to Inuyasha."

Kagome smiled and nodded to her while getting everyone's breakfast. It was strange to think how fast she and kikyo became friends.

Well there's your first chapter
