Inuyasha couldn't believe it. His one and only son was dead. Takai tried so hard to hold his tears. Hana couldn't help but cry about Inu's final words to her. He loved her and she never told him her feelings for him.

Inuyasha was full of rage and said "Naraku you'll pay for this!!" Than he charged at Naraku with his sword full of rage for Inu's death and sorrow for letting it happen. Hana cried her eyes out and Takai calmly said "he's always loved you Hana..." Hana looked at Takai who was on the edge of tears.

She said "what do you mean?" Takai looked away and said with a sad tone "one day when you weren't around and Shippo went hunting me and Inu talked... I asked him how he felt about you...

Flash Back

Inu and Takai were by the campsite talking about the normal things. For them it was either video games, school, track and the other stuff they do at school. Takai asked "so Inu how do you feel about Hana?" Inu looked at his friend and said with a small smile "I'm in love with her..."

Takai was in shock and said "who would have thought that the great Inuyasha Higurashi is in love! I mean come on all the girls at school adored you and you turned them all down!" Inu could only smile and said "that's because they wouldn't accept me for who and what I am... but Hana she didn't freak out it was almost like I was human like everyone else in our time... I bet this is the kami's way of telling me that me and Hana are meant to be together..."

Takai started to laugh as he said "don't tell me that you believe that kind of stuff do you Inu?" Inu looked at his friend and said "I do Takai. I mean after all I was destined to have these powers. You were destined to be my friend and to be a demon slayer and monk. We were destined to stop Naraku and save the future." Takai looked at the field and said "yeah I guess your right Inu..."

Inu could only smile and Takai asked "so when are you going to tell her?" Inu calmly said "I'll tell her when there's a good and right time... Even if it's my last breath I'll tell her those words to her."

End of Flash Back

Hana looked back at the half demon and said "he wanted to tell me this at the right time even if it was his last breath?" Takai nodded and said "you should stay here while me, Shippo and Inuyasha fight Naraku he's going to be allot harder to beat with the Shikon Jewel in his hands."

Than Takai placed Inu on the ground and went to fight with Shippo and Inuyasha to avenge Inu and everyone else that has suffered. Hana held Inu in her arms trying to see if her voice could reach him. She cried her eyes out saying "Inu please wake up! Please don't leave us like this we need you... I need you!!"

Her cries did nothing he was still pale and the hole in his chest where the Shikon Jewel once was is still there. At this point she felt like there was nothing she could do. She never had a chance to tell Inu how she felt about him and now that he's gone he'll never know and never will...

Else where

Inu is walking around wondering where he is. Of course he guessed he was in the other world... The land of the dead... He wondered around for what seemed like hours. It was endless a never ending land. Wondering if it even had a end and he guessed it didn't. After awhile he found himself at the park. He looked around until he heard a woman's voice.

Inu looked around until he found the woman and was in shock. It was Kagome... She was yelling "Inu! Inu! Where are you Inu... Inuyasha Higurashi come out here right now!!" Inu looked up turned around to see a boy crying. As soon as he saw the boy he knew right away who it was... It was him when he was four years old... Young Inu ran to his mom crying his eyes out. Kagome asked with concern "what's wrong Inu?"

Young Inu said with tears in his eyes "I wanted to play with some kids... But as soon as they saw my hair and eyes they thought I was a freak than they took my hat and saw my ears. I managed to get my hat back but while I was running they were calling me names!!" Kagome looked at her son and said "Inu your not a freak your special that's all."

Young Inu was still crying until he felt his mom hugging him. He could hear her crying while she said "Inu you need to be strong for the both of us please..." Inu looked at the past and remembered "that's right mom wanted me to be strong not just for me but for her... I looked just like father and had a horrible child hood until I became a jerk. I ended up being anti social until I met Takai, Shippo, Sango, Miroku and Hana..."

Than the scene shifted and he was in a meadow. He looked around until he heard a soft voice "Inu?" Inu turned around to see Hana. He was both shocked and happy. Hana walked to him with a smile and asked "Inu do you really love me?" He nodded and held her close. Inu looked at her eyes and said "Hana when we first met that was when I fell for you." Hana could only smile as she looked into his soft eyes. They leaned closer to each other to kiss. But it never happened...

As soon as he opened his eyes he noticed that Hana was gone. It was like she was never there to begin with. He didn't quite understand what was going on. Than he heard someone else's voice. It was like his but slightly deeper. When he turned around he saw a man that looked slightly like him but taller and longer hair.

The man stood there and it was kind of creepy to Inu. Inu asked "who are you?" The man said "I am InuTashino your grandfather and your past life." Inu was in shock.. He couldn't believe that he looked like his father and grandfather. InuTashino calmly said "Inu I hate to tell you this but your dead. The Shikon Jewel was taken from your heart."

Inu was both shocked and confused as he asked "what do you mean when it was taken from my heart! It was suppose to be in the heart of a kind hearted demon not a mere half demon like me!" InuTashino chuckled as he said "well you were wrong Inu. You see it was in the heart of a kind hearted demon it was in you as you are the most kind of all of those with demon blood in their veins."

Inu was so confused and said "but I failed in protecting it though it was taken from me and now I can't protect everyone... I'm so sorry grandfather." InuTashino smiled slightly as he said "don't be you didn't fail it wasn't your fault it just happened... So are you ready?"

Inu looked up at his grandfather and asked "what do you mean?" InuTashino calmly said "I have enough power to give you and it will bring you back to life but only for a certain amount of time. But I'll only give you my power on one condition." Inu asked "what is it?"

InuTashino said "you must never use it for evil you should only use it to protect people and nothing more. Also you have to get the Shikon Jewel back as fast as you can before your power fades because when it fades you'll die again understand." Inu nodded and he found himself slightly disappearing.

Back To Hana

Hana cried her eyes out trying to find ways to help but nothing came up. She looked at Inu's face and cried even more. Hana never told him how she really felt about him she could only return to those times where she found him singing to a love song from his mp3.

Flash Back

Hana was wondering through the forest and when she found Inu she hid behind a rock and heard him sing. He sang D-tecnolife.

"Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed

Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live.

Will we lose it someday?

I want to protect you and that disappearing smile

The ringing voice that calls me dries out

Even if it gets erased by the wind along time

I will find you.

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed

Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people

Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning

So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize.

Like a rusted person.

It felt so hollow to just pile atop one another

You said you could live on your own

Just with the usual kind words

You ache to a point where I cannot reach you.

Your hand that I held searched for some simple kindness

Do you remember

By learning pain, you can become a person who can be kind to others

Drive your Life.

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed

Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people

Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning

So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize.

How can I see the meaning of life

Disappearing, you're the only. . .

So you will not break, you distance yourself from me

Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people

Now it's by and by, even if you cannot see, there's a meaning to everything

Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live.

You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . your different Life?

You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . though, we cannot return.

Like in times of warped memories, we can understand someday."

Hana thought that was a wonderful song and she would have gone up to him to tell him that he sang it so beautifully but she didn't have the courage to go up to him.

She feared that maybe he only sang that out of grief but never figured it out. To her it seemed to be both the song of grief and love. She never understood why he sang it alone and she thought she never would.

End of Flash Back

Hana's tears could only land on Inu's pale face. For she knew that he sang that song of his love for her and the grief of it was fear that she wouldn't love him in return. Than she saw something that she didn't expect. The hole in his chest was starting to heal on it's own and colour was starting to return to his face.

Her eyes went wide with tears than she saw the black stripes in his hair disappeared and the moon on his head turned blue and the stripes appeared on his face. She didn't know what was going on until Inu slowly opened his eyes. Hana slowly and calmly asked "Inu? Is that you?" He smiled as he slowly said "Hana... I'm back..."
