I don't own them

Kagome sighed softly, her hair blowing gently in the wind as she watched the sun set. The tears that had dried on her face left it feeling stretched. Another tear fell down her cheek and she sat down leaning against a tree. Drawing her legs up, she leaned her forehead on them and sobbed, her arms wrapped around her legs. She sat there for quite some time, crying till no more tears came, still sobbing long after wards. She closed her eyes and fell into a light slumber. Nobody came for her that night, but somebody was already there. He sat high up in a tree and watched over her silently. He watched as she shifted in her sleep, lying on her side, resting her head on her arm. She sighed quietly in her sleep as a tear rolled down her cheek. A soft sob escaped her lips but she was still sleeping. I watched her listening to every noised she made, these ears missed nothing, and watching every move she made, his eyes wouldn't miss a move that his love made. He watched as she shivered lightly as a breeze swept over her. He hopped from the tree and curled his body around hers. She sighed softly – a sad sigh – but a comforted one as well. He laid his head in her hair and took in her scent. That's how he fell asleep, and that's how he woke then next morning. He lay with her till she woke, when the sun was high above them. He was slightly surprised she slept so long. Normally she woke him up. She rolled over to looked into the branches of the tree above her, as the sunlight filtered down through the leaves. She was surprised to feel his arms around her. She knew it was him without even looking at him.

"Inuyasha" she sighed, still sad, but feeling a little better knowing he was near. Losing her friends had taken a toll on her, as it had taken from him too. Their lives where taken from them. They didn't live to see long happy lives, have children, or get married. They had been deeply in love. They died in each other's arms. Something that both of them would have wanted.

"Kagome..." He said burying his head into her hair again. He picked her up and jumped high into the tree. She clung to him and cried he held her patiently till she finished, a tear falling from his eyes too. He'd never let her know. She sighed and looked up at him.

"How much longer inuyasha? How much longer will this hurt, how much longer will we have to search?" her eyes pleaded his for an answer, and for once he had none.

"Oh Kagome, I'm sorry..." He would have given the world to erase her pain, to bring back their friends, to have the search finally end. He couldn't do anything about it though, he knew that.

"It's not fair! I'm such an idiot! This whole thing has been my fault. Everything. I wish I could have gone in their place."

"It's not your fault kagome, you didn't know...Hell I didn't know either. I can't say everything will be ok, cause we'll always miss them, but they died happy, together. We'd both go in their place, if we had been given the chance." He held her close. "Their souls are in a better place now, their spirits are with us, in their memories, guiding us, but their souls are together forever, they'll be in love eternally."

"I'll always miss them" She mumbled into his chest.

"We both will." She leaned her back against him, her head on his chest. She shivered again. He shifted slightly as he took off his kimono top, and he draped the large cloth across kagome. Together they looked out off the branch, off the cliff looking onto the countryside. Tears were falling freely down kagome's face, but here pooled in His eyes. He blinked, they fell... Neither of them felt like completing their journey not with out their friends, but neither of them could stand letting their deaths go with out them being avenged.

"Oh kagome I'm so sorry...We'll get through this together..."

"I know, its just I'm so sick of it."

"Of what?" he asked concern filling his voice. Did she want to leave him?

"Of everything...." She said. Her voice drifting off sadly.

"I love you, Kagome" He said, voice barely above a whisper.

"I-I love you too Inuyasha" she said, lacing her fingers in his "I always have..."

"I always will..." inuyasha said. She started crying. He held her close, and kissed every tear away. "They wouldn't want you to cry"

"I-I-I can't help it" she stuttered in between sobs. "Its just...They would have love to see this moment" she smiled through her tears.

"We'd never hear the end of it" he said smiling as a tear of his own fell. Kagome twisted around on the branch to face him. His shirt fell, fluttering in the breeze to the ground. He lifted his face up, and their lips met, Parted and met again in a more passionate kiss. "Oh kagome..." he sighed, happy for the first time in days.

((Somewhere above them))

Sango and miroku floated through the air looking down on the new couple.

"Geez, it took them long enough"

"You have no room to talk monk." Sango said as she poked him.

"Hey!" he smiled and leaned over and kissed her.

"I love you miroku"

"I love you to sango."
