The key to Ainon.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha as he walked through the door of the hut, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Is she dead, 'Yasha?"
"Yes, Kagome... Brielle is dead... Forever..."
Kagome lept out of her seat on the floor, jumping into Inuyasha's arms.
Inuyasha caught Kagome, but just barely, he glanced around the room, his eyes resting on the large bed in the center of the floor, Jielynn in the center of it, he sniffed the air and realized that it smelled of blood, human blood.
"....Why does it smell like blood, Kagome?"
But it was Fasha who answered Inuyasha's question, not Kagome.
"...This is where your child was born Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha looked at Fasha, startled at hearing the woman answering his question rather than Kagome.
"....I see... Well then... Thank you I suppose, Lady Fasha..."
Fasha nodded, leaving the hut.
"I will leave you two alone for a bit..."
This Fasha yelled over her shoulder..
Inuyasha smiled, looking down at Kagome, he walked to the bed, sitting her down on the edge of it.
"....Inuyasha... Have you heard of Ainon?"
Inuyasha stared at her, blinked and then nodded.
"...Yes, why Kagome?"
"...I have the key..."
Inuyasha stared at Kagome for long moments, not knowing what to say, nor what to do next.
"....You have the key to the sacred gate?"
"....Don't you believe me, 'Yasha?"
"Of course I do Kagome...It's just, well, my father couldn't find it, so I didn't think you could... You are a.....Human, you know..."
"..Just because I am human you think I can not find what it is I am looking for?"
Kagome rose from the bed, and back-handed Inuyasha across his right cheek.
"How dare you insult me!"
Kagome broke down crying, and fell back on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. Inuyasha pulled her up to a sitting position, and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry I hit you Inuyasha....."
"......I deserved it, 'Gome..."
"No you didn't, 'Yasha...."
Kagome buried her face against Inuyasha's neck, crying, her body jerking from the force of her sobs. Inuyasha just held her against his chest, sighing quietly, allowing her to cry. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, smiled, and stopped her crying, she stared at him however.
"You must think me a stupid human, 'Yasha..."
"....Never, 'Gome... Never..."
And they lay down on the bed, Inuyasha on the left, Kagome on the right, Jielynn between them, the family slept in peace now that they were together, and always would be.
