AN: My friend says this is really confusing and I tend to agree with her. But so it's a little less confusing the paragraphs are Kagome, Inuyasha, and so on. So keep that in mind as you read.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha, no suing.

If You Could By Wyltk

It's hard watching someone go off into danger when you can do something about it. But that's what we are doing as we sit up in this old tree watching life pass around us undisturbed. Our only consolation is the good that will come from our inaction. I'm Kagome.

I'm Inuyasha, her mate, and I'm the one that helped her in this stupid tree in the first place. I didn't think we would be watching this.

You're my husband as well, aren't you? We protect Japan from the demons that have yet to settle themselves quietly into the human world.

It might be amazing to you that we fight demons daily while you live quiet happy little mortal lives. But it's nothing to us, we've done this work for hundreds of years. Sometimes if we're especially bored we mettle in the lives of our descendants.

And other people if they truly need out help. If it is right for us to step in, we do and if not then we don't. It's a simple process but a hurtful one. It has taken me many years to learn that sometime one can't save everyone. And sometimes good comes from the cruelty fate dealt them. Right now is different, now we could step in. It would be right too, but we can't. It could change everything. Wrong but right, so we wait and watch.

She's right, it would change the future you know. Heck you might not even be in the future. But I want to help as much as my love does. I hate this inaction as much as she more so because she's usually the one shielding and protecting. I'm the one fighting. It is a routine that we have fallen into like a comfortable old couch.

You see the girl down below us, the one in danger, is me. Yes, I know that sounds weird but it's true. You see when I was fifteen I went back in time and broke a Jewel. I had to go around collecting piece and when they were all back I made the choice to stay with my love.

With me, we were married and together we've watched out children grow up and die. And their children and their children's children. We've watched for hundreds of years and now we are watching our past self's make the same mistakes we made.

It's sad really. How different things could be with just a slight change made by us. But we watched ourselves do this years' ago and didn't intervene. Such a big circle time is.

You wouldn't really change anything would you, Kagome? If you could.

Nothing, Inuyasha, I wouldn't change anything. I live as you live. When you die I will go with you. I love you Inuyasha and I would never change anything.

Then I wish her, and you, God's speed.

Yes, love. Goodbye to her and hello to us, my heart, my husband.

My love, my mate.

AN: I really hope you enjoyed this and please check out my friend's fiction. Her name is Ms. Prongs and she has the best Inuyasha story!
