For the next few days after Naraku's death, everything was quiet, the only sound was Sango's cry that she did quite often, which was over her brother. They buried him in a grave near Kaede's hut, where she could visit quite often. Miroku (For the first time) actually seemed to care for Sango, and didn't try anything, but held her whenever she broke down and cried.

As for Inuyasha, he never left Kagome's bedside, while he waited for her to heal, Kagome wasn't exactly very fond of that. He barely ever let her take a bath alone, he was too afraid that her wound would get worse if he took his eyes off her. She still didn't complain, it was nice to know someone really cared and would never let anything happen to her.

"Inuyasha?" she whispered quietly, as she awoke on the fourth day after the kill of Naraku. "Why haven't you touched the jewel?" she asked, giving a slight gesture to a nightstand which lying on top was the jewel.

"Guilt," he answered, "I had know idea that Kohaku's life was involved," he gently placed his hand over hers.

"Don't let that hold you back," she whispered a little more softer then usual, "Kohaku was right, it needs to be destroyed, and only using it, will that be possible." She looked out the nearby window, in order to hide her tears, "Go ahead and become a full Demon, you've waited so long."

He wanted to hold her close then and tell her what he was going to use it for, but he knew she would blame herself for standing in his way. He gently wiped his hand across her cheek, before he got up, and walked over to the tree he was pinned to for fifty years.

"I only want Kagome to be with me forever, but can go to her time whenever she wants," he stopped and held the jewel more dearly, "But that would be selfish of me, I only ask the for the use of this jewel to spare Kohaku's life." As he stood there holding the jewel tightly, he realized it was melting in his hand, when he went to see what was really happening, his eyes widened as the Jewel turned to dust and blew off in the wind.

It was only seconds before Sango's cry was more audio then normal, but he noticed it was a cry of happiness. "Oh my God! It's Kohaku he's alive, by dear brother your alive!" he looked down and smirked to himself, he would never here the end of this, from both Kagome and Sango.

He turned and began walking back to Kaede's hut, but when he entered he found Kagome had fallen asleep again. So he once again found himself by Kagome's bedside, just staring at the peaceful Kagome, his Kagome.

When she finally awoke, she looked startled to see the usual hanyou sitting there, "Inuyasha? Why are you still yourself? What did you use the jewel for?" He smiled and sat on the bed and pulled her into his arms, and said,

"I wanted to use it for you and I to be together forever, but that was before I realized, we don't need a jewel to help keep us together, All we need is love." He smiled at her before he kissed her sweetly, she gave in and returned it.

"What did you use it for then?" she asked wondering what the hanyou could have done.

All was answered in a matter of seconds, when a young boy came running in full of life, it was Kohaku, Sango's brother. "Inuyasha..... you didn't?" She smiled at the boy as he ran past her room.

"I had too, I knew that I would never be able to love you as a demon, because you were right I would of changed." She looked thoroughly shocked that he knew about her true feelings, and wondered if Sango had told.

"So, I knew that Kohaku's life meant so much to Sango, and I used the jewel for goodness." He smiled at her, knowing that any minute she would start saying how proud she was of him and would never let him for get.

"See, I knew you had a soft side," she teased, and he just kissed her again,

"Feh, you wish!" he exclaimed back, just before he checked her wounds, suddenly surious.

Although the search for the jewel shards were now over, the group became still better friends. Miroku ended up marrying Sango, and was happy, he finally had someone to bear his child. Kohaku grew up with Shippo, and they became unseperable best friends, and Shippo was proud that he was no longer small and scrauny.

As for Inuyasha and Kagome, they ended up marrying as well, or as Inuyasha puts it, becoming mates.

I think it's safe to say Inuyasha's and Kagome's story didn't have a happy ending, because there love never ended.

THE END!!
