This is the last chapter. It's going to go kind of fast. I don't like too much fighting, so I'm going to skip the whole war with Naraku and go straight into the aftermath. Lets see if I can do this.
This is the last chapter of Inuyasha's Love: Past vs. Future. Again, I will be making a sequel, so stay turned for that and put me on Author Alert for it.
So... lets get on with this chapter.

Inuyasha's Love: Past vs. Future
*******
Chapter 6: Epilogue
It had been 5 months since that night Inuyasha proclaimed his love for her. And in that time, they two acted as if nothing had ever happened. Every once in a while Kagome would take a walk at night, saying she couldn't sleep. So Inuyasha went to look after her, unknown to Miroku and Sango what they were really doing.
Kagome was still a virgin. Even though Inuyasha slept in her bed when they were in her time, both had agreed to wait until the final confrontation. Neither of them knew that it would be this close. They didn't expect hoards of demons to start flying overhead, all heading in one direction.
They had been together for nearly two years, searching for the jewel fragments. They had only a small bit, while Naraku had a large bit, because of Kikyo's foolish act. She had given Naraku an almost complete Shikon Jewel a year before.
Miroku had sensed the final war was near. They all gathered at Kaede's village- Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Shippo, Kouga, Nobunaga (the man with the monkey from the beginning of the series), Toutousai (the maker of Tetsusaiga), Hachi (Miroku's raccoon friend), and yes, even Shesshomaru. The demons flying over head and Miroku's meditation and nightmares was a true sign of the starting war. Inuyasha didn't like the fact that his older brother was fighting with them, but Shesshomaru made a valid point before they departed.
"I have with me Tennsagia. If anyone should fall during the battle, I can revive them. Besides, half breed, Naraku is my enemy as he is yours."
No one had a comment on that one, and the Dog Demon lord of the Western Lands joined them in their hunt for Naraku and his demons.
The final battle was fierce. Naraku had called upon thousands of demons to aid him in his war against Inuyasha. Inuyasha and Shesshomaru proved to be the most powerful and a good advantage to the team. Kouga wanted his own revenge against Naraku, but for once, he took orders from Inuyasha (after Kagome pleaded with him for some length) and stayed back to protect Kagome.
Shippo guarded over Kagome when a demon got to close and Kagura was attacking another. Kagome had a good supply of arrows, but they only lasted for so long.
Sango and Miroku fought side by side. At one point, Sango had to confront her brother, Kohaku. With the Shikon Shard the only thing keeping him alive, Sango knew there was only going to one outcome. She dragged Kohaku over to Kagome, who purified the jewel shard in his back. As Kohaku's memories came back to him, Kagura sliced by with her wind fan, striking the boy in the back and popping out the shard.
As he lay dying in Sango's arms, he told her he was sorry. Sango was devastated at her brother's death. She knew it had to be some day, but she wasn't ready for it. She took up her Hiraikotsu (boomerang) and headed back into battle, wanting to get revenge. Miroku and Kirara went after her. Sango was killed shortly after her brother in her blind fit of rage. Miroku was badly injured trying to save her, but later died of his fatal wounds. Kirara stood watch over their dead bodies as the battle raged.
Many others died, including many of Kouga's pack, which had found their way to their leader in mid-fight. Nobunaga died shortly after Sango, consumed by a demon, which Kagome had the courtesy of killing with her bow.
After a while, only a few of their team stood standing. Naraku was the only opponent they had left. Kagura and Kanna had died. Naraku's other demon were gone, either dead of fled.
Kouga stood protectively over Kagome. Inuyasha was facing Naraku. Her friends were dead. Tears sprang to her eyes. Kouga saw the light of all the Shikon Shards in the area start to glow with Kagome's tear.
As her tear fell the shards in Kouga's leg pulled free. The shards around her neck shattered in their glass case, and the almost complete Shikon Jewel Naraku held seared his hand, and he was forced to release it. All the jewel shards flew at Kagome, surrounding her tear drop before it hit the ground. The tear itself pulsated a pink color before a flash of pink light blinded them all.
When the light had faded, a completed Shikon Jewel lay in Kagome's hands. All starred at the girl with the weird clothes.
Naraku, mad that she had gained the power of the Shikon Jewel, shot toward her so fast no one knew it was coming. Not even Inuyasha, who had been starring at Kagome and the jewel. Naraku raised his clawed hand and swung at her.
Kagome was hit over the left shoulder, the opposite shoulder Kikyo had been hit by Naraku. It almost seemed like slow motion as the blood sprayed from her wound, coating her school uniform. Her arm hung limp, the Shikon Jewel still gripped in her left hand.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried as he dashed forward. He raised Tetsusaiga and swung at Naraku who had just landed in front of the bleeding Kagome.
Kagome watched Inuyasha swing his sword as she fell back, pain searing through her. Naraku was finished off right before her eyes. Inuyasha's revenge was complete. They had won, but at a loss.
Kagome landed with a thud onto the hard ground. Inuyasha ignored Naraku's dead body dematerialize and ran to her side, cuddling her in his arms.
"Kagome! Kagome!" Inuyasha shook her a little, but she did not move. She did not beat. She did not breath. She was dead. "Kagome! No!"
"Move a side," an injured Shesshomaru said, pulling Tennsaiga out. Inuyasha nodded and pulled away from her slightly, never letting go of her.
As Shesshomaru raised his sword to see the demons that would consume her soul, he paused, seeing something he had never seen before. "I cannot." He bowed his head and placed his sword back in his sheath.
"Why the hell not!?" Inuyasha screamed. Kouga, Shippo, and Toutousai stood watching. The little kit was crying into Kouga's arms.
"The demons are not taking her soul. They were nowhere to be seen, Inuyasha. The Shikon Jewel protects her from that."
At the mention of the jewel, the pink orb wrapped so tightly in the cold hand of Kagome, started to pulse.
"What the..." Inuyasha sat back as the pulsing of the jewel kept in rhythm with the beat of his heart.
~Inuyasha~ a soft voice echoed.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. It was her voice calling to him. "Kagome?"
~Inuyasha~ she said again, her still body not responding. ~I wish for us to be together again, Inuyasha. That is my final wish, even in death~ A pause. ~I love you, Inuyasha~ Then her voice was gone.
"Kagome?" He hesitated. "KAGOME!"
Then all was quiet as a flash of white light enveloped them all, whisking them away from the place of battle, killing them all, and taking their soul into another world, where they would wait to be reborn another day.

What a fast ending! Sorry! I didn't want to get into details about the battle. I hate describing battles. It irks me. Well.. that's the end of it! No more! All done! But I will have a sequel. Trust me. I will have one. Let me finish my other Inu story, which is almost done as well, and then I will start on the sequel to this one.
If anyone can guess what it's going to be, I'll give you a cookie! ^_^. Please R&R!
