" talking"

'thinking'


It was over finally. After a catastrophic blow from Inuyasha combined with an arrow from Kagome's bow Naraku had disolved into pink sparkles. Everyone looked around in amazment. The quest they had started a year ago had finally ended.

Kagome looked threw the grass where Naraku had stood easily finding a large clump of the Shikon Jewel. Covering it with both hands she forced it to melt together. This was the easy part. Kagome's heart beat hard. She thought of what she had to do next. 'I'm sorry Inuyasha but if you want her you can't be a full demon.'

Kagome walked to the rest of the group slowly. Miroku was staring at his hand in amazement while being embraced tightly by Sango who was crying. Shippo was practicly vibrating with excitement when he closed the gap between the rest of them and Kagome.

"Kagome you can stay with us forever now!" Shippo said with wide green eyes.

"No Shippo...I can't" At the everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her.

"What the fuck do you mean wench? If you leave who is gonna take care of the Shikon Jewel?" Inuyasha yelled. Taking a step closer agitation aparent in his eyes.

"I'll take it home and protect it. There are no demons in my time so it will be safe." Kagome said staring at the ground. "I still have school and everything ya' know? I'll miss all of you." The words came with a tear.

"You'r like a sister to me." Sango muttered then looked at Miroku "To us. But we understand and we will miss you too."

"Shippo you understand too right?" Kagome pleaded.

"I think so but what will happen to me?" Shipppo cried.

"We will take you in." Sango said confidently slipping an arm around Miroku.

"Does anyone care what I want?" Inuyasa bellowed

'You can't back out now this is what you have to do' Kagome though. Giving Shippo a kiss and ruffling his hair one last time Kagome turned to the new happy couple. "Take care of him guys." One group hug later Kagome was running towards the well. She was almost ten feet from it when Inuyasha stopped infront of her.

"Just what the fuck do you think you are doing?"

"Going home. I'll miss you Inuyasha, but this is what you wanted right?" Kagome threw herself at him in a bone crushing farewell hug quickly. Before he could react she was past him and over the ledge of the well.

"Kagome! Don't go!"

' I love you Inuyasha. Be happy with Kikyo.'
