Hey guys, here's Chapter 1 (obviously). There aren't any spoiler's in this. At this point it won't follow the exact story word for word.

Chapter 1:

Finally at Peace

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo stood by the place where the well was, or used to be. After Kagome vanished, the well disappeared, then Inuyasha had gone to find her. It had been three days since that had happened and they were starting to get very worried. They'd come out here periodically but they didn't show up.

"What if they never come back?" Shippo said on the verge of tears again.

"Shippo, they'll be back," Sango said. She looked at Miroku for reassurance. "Right?"

"Of course, I'm sure they'll come back very soon unharmed," Miroku said although he wasn't so sure.

Shippo felt the place where the well used to be. "But what if…GYAH!"

Suddenly there was a piller of bright light in the place of the well and the well materialized in front of them. Inuyasha and Kagome came out. "Hey you guys," Kagome said cheerfully as if they they were returning from being in her era a few days.

Shippo jumped into her arms. "You're back!"

"You two were gone so long," Sango said.

"It was only a few minutes," Inuyasha said.

Miroku raised his eyebrow. "It was three days. What happened?"

Inuyasha and Kagome told them everything that happened while they were trapped inside of the jewel.

"So you finally kissed huh? It sure took you long enough!" Shippo said when they were done. Inuyasha kicked him and sent him flying across the village.

"Inuyasha, sit," Kagome said.

Inuyasha slammed into the ground and glared at her. "I thought you loved me?"

"That gave you no right to hurt Shippo."

"Why you…!"

Miroku and Sango shook their heads and sighed. "I see admitting their feelings didn't make any difference to them," Miroku said.

"Not at all," Sango said. "Let's go to Kaede's you guys. She's been worried too." With that they went to Kaede's house. Serious damage had been done to their village. Naraku's miasma had destroyed much of the land leaving a lot of the trees and grass dead along with the majority of their crops. Some people's houses were destroyed and there were cracks and craters in the ground. Thankfully no one was seriously injured. One they got to Kaede's they found her in there with Kohaku and Kirara.

"Look whose back safely," Sango said gesturing to Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Hi Inuyasha, hi Kagome," Kohaku said.

"Thank goodness you're back safely. We were all so worried," Kaede said.

They all sat down. "Naraku and the jewel are finally gone," Kagome said.

"You've gotten rid of the jewel?" Kaede said surprised.

"Kagome wished it away," Inuyasha said putting his arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder.

All of them were extremely happy. Naraku was dead, the Shikon no Tama was destroyed, Miroku's wind tunnel was gone, and Kohaku was free of Naraku's control. They all felt like a big weight had been lifted off of them. They now had no worries and could go on with their lives without a problem.

The next morning Kagome went outside and found Miroku with a red slap mark on his face. "It's not my fault she has a nice butt. Geez woman, how do you hit so hard?"

Sango crossed her arms. "I'm a demon slayer, what do you expect? Next time I'll hit harder."

"But we're about to get married. Shouldn't there be an exception?"

Sango shook her head. "Nope."

Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and walked over to them and hugged Kagome. "So Kagome, you want to hang out here with these loser's, or come for a walk with me?"

Kagome glanced at her friends and then back at him. "I'll come with you." She held his hand and they walked off.

Shippo looked at Miroku and Sango. "Can we follow them?"

Sango shook her head. "No, Shippo we've got to respect their privacy…" She noticed Miroku and Shippo following Inuyasha and Kagome. "Hey! Wait up!" she exclaimed running after them.

Inuyasha and Kagome were walking hand in hand through a meadow filled with Sakura flowers.

"I love coming here," Kagome said admiring the pretty flowers. "It's so peaceful."

"My mother used to take me here," Inuyasha said. "She'd play games with me and I'd bring her flowers. I think of her when I see these."

"You must miss her a lot," Kagome said.

Inuyasha nodded. "I do." They sat down in the grass. She toyed with the long grass and he looked up at the sky for a moment. Then he looked at her. Her hair blew around her face, her skin glowed in the sunlight, and her smell was intoxicating to him.

"Inuyasha."

"Yeah?"

"Do you still think about Kikyo?" He had loved Kikyo and though she knew he loved her a lot, she wondered if he ever did think of her and wish he was still with her.

"Well…yeah, I miss her a lot." Inuyasha held her hands. "I love you more Kagome. She has nothing on you."

"You really mean that?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I do. You look like her, but you're a lot different than her. With you, I can laugh with you, cry with you, and show my true feelings and you wouldn't think any differently of me. You accepted me the way I am as a half demon without ever trying to change me. And all those times I transformed into a full demon, you were never afraid of me no matter how dangerous I was. Me and Kikyo's trust was so easily broken. I never trusted a damn soul before I met you Kagome. You're the one person I trust with my life. You've put your life on the line more times than I can count to save me. I've never had anyone care for me the way you do. I was always shunned by everyone and turned away, but you'd never do that to me. Kikyo's dead, her soul needs to rest. I've never given her my love the way I've given it to you. Now I have you and I love you more than my own life Kagome."

Kagome felt her eyes well up with tears. Inuyasha had just poured his heart out to her and he looked and sounded so sincere with every word. She felt the tears start to fall down her face.

Inuyasha wiped her tears away but felt like he was about to cry as well. "Oh no, I've made you cry."

Kagome shook her head. "They're tears of happiness. You really meant all of that?"

He sniffed trying to hold back his tears. "Yes, every word of it." He smirked. "What have you done to me? I never let a single tear fall from my eyes before I met you and now you have me sitting here crying."

She wiped his tears away as they started to fall. "I don't mean to make you cry, it's just that you trust me enough to show your true feelings around me. There's nothing wrong with that."

He put his hands on her hips and started to kiss her. She gripped the front of his robe and deepened their kiss but he pulled away too soon.

He kept his arms around her as he spoke. "There's something I want you to have."

She felt a smile creep onto her face. "Okay."

"Close your eyes."

She did as he said and felt him put something around her neck. Then she felt him lick her earlobe and his lips trailed from there down her jaw to her throat. She giggled. "What are you doing?"

He chuckled and pulled away from her. "Open your eyes."

She did and saw that he'd put the most beautiful necklace on her. It had gold beads with a red jewel in the center of it. "Inuyasha, this is beautiful. I love it."

"I got it at the last village we stayed in, but I wanted to wait until the right moment to give it to you. I was going to give it to you before we killed Naraku but, you know, things changed."

She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "Thank you!"

Inuyasha hugged her back. "You're welcome." He kissed her once again then rested his forehead on hers. "We should live together Kagome."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean we can build our own house in the village and live together. No worries, just the two of us always together."

Kagome wanted nothing more than to live with Inuyasha for the rest of her life but what about her family in her era? "But I still have to go to school."

"What about when you're not in school?"

She kissed his lips. "Okay. That sounds perfect. And then when I graduate, I'll stay here with you."

"You will?" he said smiling from ear to ear.

She ran her hand through his hair. "Mmm hmm."

"You'd really give up everything you have back home to stay here with me?"

"Well, I'd have to go see my family sometimes. But none of the things in my era matter to me as much as you do. I can hardly stand being away from you as it is. I'd gladly give it all up to be with you."

They kissed long and passionately breaking off for only a half second to breathe. His tongue tapped her lips wanting entrance and she guided him in. He massaged her back as their tongue's roamed each other's mouths. She heard a moan escape her. She pushed him onto his back playfully and they laughed happily. "Mmm Kagome."

Miroku, Sango and Shippo were hiding in a bush watching them.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha and Kagome with envy. "She never let me touch her that way," he said with a pout.

Sango rolled her eyes. "Shut it houshi."

That night, Inuyasha was sitting by the window looking out at the night sky. Kagome was in the bed sleeping soundly.

He felt so happy, more happy then he'd felt in ages.

"Inuyasha…sit," Kagome said.

His face slammed into the ground. "Damn it Kagome." He went over to her. "What was that for?" But then he saw that she was asleep. He got under the covers next to her. She turned over and put her arms around him and he kissed her forehead.

He lay there for a while watching her sleep and thinking about her. It seemed amazing to him that at one point he hated her and had tried to kill her. It seemed impossible that he hadn't always loved her the way he loved her now. He loved her more than anyone in his life. Nothing could possibly go wrong right now.

Chapter two will be up whenever i feel like it's good enough to post (which won't be long). Leave a review or two & tell me what you think of it.
