I do not own Inu-yasha or Yu-Yu hakusho, I do however own this plot and will be very upset should some one rip it off. Thank you and enjoy. ;P

Upon reaching the cave in which Inu-yasha rests, Kagome performs last rites and enters followed by Yusuke and Myoga. At the back of the cave lies a life size stone figure that looks like Inu-yasha, while he was in his prime. Every detail is exact, it is even wearing a rosary like Inu-yasha's, and in his closed hands is the Tetsuiga. Upon seeing this Kagome breaks down and cries.

"Go on young master, take the Tetsuiga."

"Alright."'So this is what he looked like, I can understand why mom liked him so much.'

When Yusuke touched the sword hilt the statue began to glow and out from the statue flowed the ethereal form of Inu-yasha. the spirit drifted over to Kagome and hugged her, she continued to cry onto the ghostly shoulder of her late lover.

"Sshh, sshhsh, its alright Kagome. You don't need to cry for me. Cheer up."

"I've missed you so much."

Inu-yasha looks up at Yusuke who is now holding the Tetsuiga, he smiles at him.

"Kagome are you going to introduce me to my son?"

"Oh, yes. Yusuke this is your father, Inu-yasha, Inu-yasha this is your son, Yusuke."

"I see you got my ears."

Yusuke reaches up to check his ears.

"Yeah, they kinda just showed up this morning."

"Do you like the Tetsuiga?"

"Yeah, I guess. I don't know how to use a sword and it is kinda rotted. Do you mind if I take it to a restorer to get it repaired...?"

Yusuke trails off as he sees the look of disbeleif on his father's face.

"Uh, Yusuke, its a very good sword as is, it will change when being used to protect someone. and we can get you signed up for kendo so you can learn to use it."

"Okay. Hey, I know, Hiei can teach me, I'll have to get Botan to ask him but I'm sure he'll do it."

"Who's Hiei?"

Questions Inu-yasha.

"He's just a demon who works with me occasionally. He's really good with a sword and..."

Inu-yasha tunes him out and turns to Kagome.

"How long ago did you tell him about me? He seems to know alot about demons and spirits."

"I only told him this morning when his ears showed up. Before I introduced him to Myoga, though, he told me he'd been made a Spirit Detective."

"Why? How?"

"I don't know why and as for how, he said it was because of the accident seven months ago."

"What accident? He wasn't hurt was he?"

"He pushed a kid out of the way of a car and died."

"But he's not dead, he's very much alive."

"I don't know the details but he was revived and now he's a Spirit Detective."

"I hate to interupt, but its almost dawn."

"Dawn?! Oh, no. Listen Kagome, my brother may still be alive."

"What?! But wouldn't he have made himself known or something."

"Calm down Kagome, if he is still alive he will probably come for Tetsuiga. You can't let him have it. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Inu-yasha kisses Kagome deeply as the sun rises and dawn breaks. as he fades away he says...

"I have to go now, so take care. I love you both dearly. Goodbye."

And with that the great Inu-yasha departs this world, never to come again.
