The darkness that filled the sky was thinning as the sun started to rise. Kagome sat up from her bedding made on the floor and looked around the tiny room. She couldn't help but put a smile on her face. They had done it. They had all defeated Naraku. Everything they had worked so hard for was finished. The Shikon no tama was whole again. Kikyo was gone.

Kikyo…

That name still made her heart pound harder in her chest. Kikyo was gone, never to return on Earth again. She should feel glad. There was nothing between her and InuYasha, or was there. She still had the sinking feeling that Kikyo wasn't gone. She knew Kikyo had died the night before with Naraku but she also knew that Kikyo was still in InuYasha's heart.

She stood up and looked at each of her friends in the room. Shippo was sound asleep on Kirara. Sango lied asleep between her brother Kohaku and the monk, Miroku. The night before she had slept closer to Kohaku but during the night she had shifted her body closer to Miroku. Kagome put a small grin on her face. She knew that Sango loved Miroku and he loved her.

Kagome remembered the night she spied on Sango and Miroku. It was a beautiful night. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes and ears when Miroku asked Sango to bare his children. This of course wasn't the first time he had asked but that night was special. Miroku had made it clear that he wanted Sango and only Sango to bear his children. For Miroku this was a big deal, having been the biggest pervert Kagome has ever met. Kagome was shocked at the respect he gave to Sango and the confession on how much he loved her.

Two things had surprised Kagome that night more than anything. First, was the fact that after telling Sango everything he didn't grab her butt. This was the one thing that convinced Kagome that he was serious and was not just trying to make her sleep with him as he had done with every other woman he had met. The second thing that shocked Kagome was the fact that Sango said yes. Sango told Miroku that she would bear his children. Of course Miroku was shocked when he heard her say this.

"You mean you'll bear them, all ten or twenty of them." Sango just sat there and blush. He knew the answer was true and he himself couldn't stop from blushing. They had decided to wait until Naraku was defeated so that there would be no more worries in their lives.

Kagome scanned the room one last time to see that InuYasha was missing. She had forgotten that InuYasha was in the next room by himself. During the battle with Naraku, InuYasha suffered extremely deep injures. He could hardly move off the floor so Kaede thought it was better for InuYasha to rest on his own. Kagome agreed even though she had wanted to sleep next to him, to watch over him during the night.

Kagome couldn't help herself. She wanted to see InuYasha.

No… She needed to see him. She loved him and couldn't live a day without him by her side.

She entered the room that InuYasha was sleeping in. He laid still on the floor sound asleep. Kagome looked at him with longing. All she wanted to do was stay with him but she had decided to leave. She was going to go back to her era and get used to her old life before she met InuYasha. She couldn't stay in his era. She didn't belong here and InuYasha didn't belong in her era. No matter how much she loved him, it would never work.

Kagome closed the door in InuYasha's room and walked out of Kaede's house. She walked into the forest down to the bone-eaters well. She looked down the well thinking of the first time she went through. Before that day she had never believed in demons and just the fact that she was a priestess and a reincarnation of Kikyo just was too much to handle. If it weren't for that well nothing would have happened. She would have never met InuYasha. The thought alone made Kagome shiver.

Miroku came walking from the forest and startled Kagome. "I'm sorry, Kagome. I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay. I just wasn't expecting anyone to wake up this early, that's all."

Miroku saw Kagome near the well. "Are you going back to your time?"

"Yes, I thought I would get some more bandages and medicine for everyone." She looked at Miroku's right arm. Naraku had tried to open Miroku's wind tunnel during the battle but Miroku tried to block the attack and almost cut his arm off. If it weren't because of Sango distracting Naraku with her Hiraikotsu, Miroku would have died in a second. "How's your arm doing?"

"It's fine. It only hurts when I move it."

"Miroku you shouldn't be moving too much," said a voice from behind the trees. Sango came walking up to Miroku with Shippo by her side. Sango limped to Miroku side and looked at his arm. "You shouldn't be up either Sango. You can hardly walk. You should have slept a little longer."

Shippo's little voice came from the floor. "Kagome where are you going?"

"I'm just going to my era for a while. I'll be back in two or three days. I want to see my family and other friends. I'll bring back some candy for you if you want." Shippo smiled and hugged Kagome goodbye. Kagome said her farewells and jumped into the well.
