Copyright: We own nothing from Inuyasha though I wish I could have a piece of that yummy Sesshomaru!

Melissa: So this is the start of one of the fanfic's we have lined up for this account and since Meghan and I live across country which makes things a bit difficult we decided we will take turns writing chapters after talking about what we want to happen in them. I got the honors of starting this one off and I think I did a rather good job.. Though I am sure I could have written more.. But I just wanted to get something started for now. I hope you enjoy them.

~~~Chapter 1~~~

It was the end… the end of all of their trouble or at least that is what Kagome believed as she looked around the now quiet battlefield. Naraku was dead finally dead and the Jewel Shard was now complete. Kagome was unsure of what to do now with the jewel gone. She knew that the well was closed, she could just feel it even knowing she was no where near the well.

She was unsure of what to do with herself because she knew that she could not be with Inuyasha because she had come to the conclusion that he would never love her the way that he loved Kikyo. Speaking of Inuyasha she looked around the area and noticed that the man was missing.

Kagome sighed she had a feeling she knew where he had gone. She remembered what Naraku had said just before the final blow was dealt to him.

~~Flash Back~~

Naraku laid on the ground of the battlefield lying in a pool of his own blood. He looked up at Inuyasha with a glare and sighed a bit. He looked like he was in pain and then he spoke. "Even knowing I lost,…. At least I know Kikyo is gone for good.." he said in a weak ruff whisper.

Inuyasha seemed to look shocked from what Kagome could see but it changed in an instant as Inuyasha lifted his sword above his head and chopped Naraku's head off with a nasty crack.

Kagome looked away as Naraku's body disappeared as if it was dust blowing in the wind. It wasn't the fact that the man was dead that disgusted her it was just the noise of the sound the bones made as they broke and the life faded out of a man.

Kagome then looked down to see the Jewel in her hands and she closed in and just closed her eyes to make the wish so it would disappear forever. She thought about all the innocent people who had lost their lives because of Naraku and the Jewel Shards. Then when she was done she opened her eyes and looked down to see that her hands were empty.

She smiled brightly as she looked up at her friends then frowned as she noticed that Inuyasha was missing.

~~End Flash Back~~

Kagome sighed as she shook the memory of what Naraku had said out of her head and went over to her friends who were wounded. She smiled at Sango and Miroku as she walked over to them.

They were sitting on the ground panting a bit still exhausted from the battle. She noticed that Miroku seemed to be lost in wonder as he stared at his hand. Kagome walked over to them and kneeled in front of them taking her large yellow backpack off of her back. She pulled out her first aid kit and began to treat whatever wounds they might have.

Kagome was relieved to see that their wounds weren't all that bad, mostly just cuts and bruises. Kagome got to work taking care of them and humming softly to herself as she tried to ignore the fact that she was worried about Inuyasha.

As Kagome worked she looked up at them. "So what are you two going to do now that Naraku and the Jewel are gone?" she asked curious as to what her friends would do.

Kagome knew that they would not be staying around with her and more then likely go off on their own to start a family like they had planned.

Sango blushed a bit then looked at Miroku and then down at Kagome. "Well we are planning on going back to my village and starting a family…and the village back up again" she said in a whisper.

Kagome looked over at Miroku and saw that he just had a perverted grin on his face as he came out of his little world when he heard what Sango had said. Kagome just shook her head and knew the boy was going to get smacked if he let his mind go away to end up with perverted thoughts. And sure enough as Kagome was working on cleaning a cut of Sango's a loud smack could be heard and it almost made Kagome jump if she wasn't so use to it happening all the time.

Kagome looked up and saw Miroku tending to a bright red slap mark that now was on his face and Sango with a pissed off expression on her face as if she wasn't use to this happening once a day.

It wasn't long before Kagome was done and she stood up stretching a bit. As she looked around she frowned a bit not seeing her adoptive son Shippo. But as soon as that thought crossed her mind a little ball of brown fluff came bouncing came out of the tree line and was heading straight for her.

Kagome just opened her arms wide as the little ball of fluff came bounding into her arms. "I am glad to see that you are safe Shippo." she said with a smile.

The small fox kit looked up at her with a large smile. "Of course I am Mommy!" he said with a smile. "I stayed out of the way like you told me to!" he said with a bright smile.

Kagome was glad that he was safe since she had sent him away from the battle in hopes that he would stay out of the crossfire. Kagome knew that he was too young to do any fighting.

Kagome smiled at her friends. "Well Sango I suppose we shall be taking our separate ways for now, I plan to go back to Keade's village and stay there and wait for Inuyasha's return if the well will not open." she said with a determined nod.

Kagome put Shippo down so she could hug Sango and Miroku and they said their goodbyes as she waved to them as they flew away on Kiarara.

Once they were gone she picked up Shippo and her backpack and took one last look around the battlefield then nodded as she headed off in the direction of Keade's village.

~~ 3 Year's Later~~

It had been three years since the battle that killed Naraku and completed the Jewel, yet Inuyasha was still missing ever since he took off at the end of the battle in search of Kikyo.

Kagome had been at Keade's Village ever since the battle due to the fact that the well was closed and she was always welcomed in the village. Kagome had her own hut next to Keade's and she spent the three years training to be a Miko like Keade.

During her quest for the Jewel Shards she had gotten a little bit of a training, but when she was at the village she got way more and by the second year she was a full Miko with use of all of her powers. She spent her days helping the villagers and hoping that Inuyasha would return.

When the third year came around she finally had the feeling that something had gone wrong and that was why Inuyasha hadn't returned. Kagome had helped as much as she could in the village and she figured that if anyone was going to find Inuyasha and make sure he was safe it would be her.

Kagome had spent a week planning out her trip and how and where she was going to search for Inuyasha and she thought of all the places he could possibly be. Kagome had already decided that Shippo would stay behind in the village and look after Keade. When she was ready to go she stood on the edge of the village looking out at the village thinking about all of the friends she had made in the village and everything else.

She gave Shippo one last hug before she put him on the ground and headed out towards Inuyasha's forest figuring west would be the best direction to start. As Kagome headed out things went well since she made sure she wasn't in her normal school's uniform because it really wasn't the best thing to travel in. She wore a Miko's garb that was a lot like Kikyo's but the pants were black instead of red.

Kagome walked for weeks and she was able to avoid most strong demons and slay smaller ones that did not oppose a threat to her. Kagome was strong but she wasn't anywhere near as strong as Sango or Inuyasha so she made sure she stayed safe and out of the way of most demons.

It wasn't long before her luck ran out though., Kagome set an arrow to her bow as she looked at the large Snake Demon that was in front of her. The demon was about 13 ft high and was rather large. Sure Kagome was scared out of her mind but she knew that if she wanted to save her life fear wasn't something she could have at the moment.

Kagome shot the arrow but the snake seemed to dodge it easily. Quickly running to the opposite side Kagome put another arrow to her bow and fired it. This time the arrow struck the snake in the stomach but did little damage. In fact it seemed to enrage the snake even more. The snake hissed and thrashed its tail. Kagome watched as the tail came towards her but she couldn't move in time and the tail slammed into her stomach. She flew away from the snake and right into a tree.

With blurry eyes she looked up at the snake and knew she was going to die. As the snake came closer and closer she tried to get up but was in to much pain. Right as the snake opened its mouth and revealed it's fangs a blur of white flew across her vision and she soon passed out from blood loss. The last thing on her mind was…"What was the blur?"
