A/N: Inuyasha does not belong to me!!!
Prologue: The silence
By: Lotus
"Things have sure gotten quiet." Sango murmured. Inuyasha turned to glance at the youkai exterminator. His amber eyes narrowed and he looked away quickly. "Kagome sealed Naraku away and for us to have some peace."
"But at what cost?" Miroku stated, quietly.
"Naraku!"
Inuyasha turned at the familiar voice, slightly shocked at the firm determination that laced through it. "Kagome! What are you doing, onna!"
"What should have been done earlier." Kagome replied as she narrowed her eyes. Her slender fingers drew the bowstring taut.
"Damn woman! He'll deflect it like the other times!" Inuyasha yelled.
"You don't have any faith in me?" She asked, glancing in his direction. He was startled, as he saw Kikyo's wisdom in her eyes. He was confused and he fought to understand the uneasy feeling that had come over him. "Die! Onigumo!" The arrow was released as Kikyo's voice entwined with Kagome's. A bright pink glow was released as the arrow penetrated Naraku's shield. All at once there was a loud explosion and bright light filled the forest. Inuyasha stared as Kagome smiled softly at him. "Gomen ne, Inuyasha." She whispered as the light engulfed her.
"KAGOME!"
"You should be resting."
"Sesshoumaru? I'm fine." The lady replied as she straightened from her perch at the window.
"You won't get any better if you wear yourself out." Sesshoumaru lectured as he stood in the doorway.
"It's moonless tonight." She observed. After a moment she turned around. "Has Rin gone to bed?"
"Yes." He smiled, walking up to her. She slowly leaned against his chest and he stroked her black locks.
"I am going to check up on our son. Babysitting is rough on Rin-chan." She moved away from him and he growled at her in concern.
"I'm fine, Sesshoumaru. Don't worry about me." She laughed as she walked to the doorway.
"Wait." She turned back to him, her brown gaze holding nothing but warmth and humor. "I'll come with you." He said.
