ANNOCEMENT!!!: I'd like to congratulate darkrose2006, she gave me a well written summary for the story which I shall put below:

((note: this is not with English subtitles though I've seen screen caps so I'm going with her summary))

Ok it opens up with Kagome at school taking a test. Well after the test her three friends Eri, Yuka, and Ayami come up to her and they start to talk. Well Hojo comes in and has a scroll. The scroll is his family tree. He opens it up and points out a Kagome on the scroll. Kagome starts wondering naturally what this means. Well the scene switches to two thieves and no one else but Akitoki Hojo's ancestor from the second movie. Inuyasha then helps him out and they go to Kaede's. Once there he shows him a sword. Inuyasha looks at it and it looks as though he is being possesed until the sword is covered back up. He then asks them for their services in destroying the sword. He then goes to the bone eaters well waiting for Kagome. After he talks to her Kagome goes to a tree and her and Inu talk no one says they love each other from what I understand. Akitoki gets caught listening to the conversation. Well then they basically leave to go on their quest. Akitoki still has a huge crush on Kagome. The scene switches to some evidently really powerful demon. Any way they stop at this place to eat. Kag and Inu talk not about being in love and are attacked. Kagome shoots one of the dragon kites that these ninja type people are using to drop booms on. He because afraid because he realizes that the arrow is a miko's arrow. Then we see the gang in the forest talking about the sword and it's partner. They are once again attacked by booms. Kagome who is helping Akitoki get up from almost being hit ends up being sent over the side of a ravine with a river running through it with Akitoki. The scene ends with Inuyasha screaming Kagome, Kagome over and over. So basically they do not tell each other they love the other however this particular plot continues I think it has a total of three or four episodes.

The fire crackled as kagome stroked it with a wet-tipped stick, she was sitting on her sleeping bag a good three feet from the fire ring to keep invading sparks from setting her sleeping bag on fire, with now held a curled up Shippo. Sango and Miroku were sleeping next to each other at the base of a wild-rooted tree, Kirara was curled up opposite from Kagome across the fire and InuYasha was out getting some more logs. She sighed contently and absent-mindly stroked Shippo' copper hair causing him to dig deeper into the pillow and pull the sleeping bag tighter around his little form, Kagome couldn't help but smile.

A sudden crunching noise of running feet announced to Kagome that InuYasha was back with more fuel for the fire. She smiled a little broader as he placed the logs in a teepee position and sat next to her,

"Any trouble?" Kagome asked immediately feeling a tiny bit stupid for asking a question with an obvious answer.

"No" he replied hiding his clawed hands within the folds of his inner sleeves "though its starting to get to me, with the jewel complete and the absence of demons coming to claim it"

"It is odd" she said while reaching for the jewel that hung innocently from her neck causing it to glimmer in the firelight "something so little to cause so much chaos" she said grasping her fist around it so hard the whites of her knuckles showed.

"Hey! You shouldn't be grasping it that hard" InuYasha said retracting on hand from his sleeve and placed it on top of Kagome's fist trying to ease the grasp. He felt the grip loosen and he quickly captured her hand in his.

"The jewel will sooner or later be to purified to be used, hopefully sooner" InuYasha said in a low voice while starting to rub his thumb over the back of her hand trying to calm her down.

She nodded and couldn't help but place her head on InuYasha's shoulder and close her eyes, she smiled and at the thought of the jewel not able to be used for eternity........though........she almost owed something to this jewel. If it weren't for the jewel she would have never been pulled into the well by mistress centipede and never have met InuYasha, if it hadn't been for the jewel, she would have never had the time to bond and even love this dog-eared boy. She felt grateful to the jewel indeed but she did wish it never had aroused Naraku and have him so driven to collect the pieces to destroy the lives of many.

'can't have everything without sacrifice' she thought as she let her eyes slowly drift close, the last thing she felt was InuYasha's head lay gently on top of hers and pulling her into his lap to sleep.

*~*~*

The water trickled soothingly and Kagome dipped he canteen in the lake, she sighed as she pulled it out and capped it with the black colored plastic cap. She placed it in her backpack in an easily accessible pocket if anyone was thirsty.

"Ready Kagome?" Shippo asked bouncing his way over to her, he was always bouncing around now that InuYasha and Sango were a lot happier and the fact that he no longer had to worry about running away from battles all over the place.

Kagome nodded her head as she stood up and swung her large backpack onto her shoulder and walked with Shippo back to the road were InuYasha was standing tapping his toes in a annoyed way, Miroku was already on her bike which still had bits of leaves from being concealed in the bush and a little dirt streaked the side from when Miroku dropped it yesterday. Sango was already on Kirara's back suspended four feet above the ground, waiting for Shippo and Kagome's backpack to join her. Shippo tried to get it on his back but he fell backwards and couldn't get up, kagome had to place him on and chuckled as he pouted muttering "it wasn't THAT heavy".

"For a shrimp like you it is" InuYasha said while crouching down signaling to Kagome to get on.

"I'm not a shrimp!" Shippo said standing on Kirara's back while she flew up a little more causing him to topple over and cling to the backpack till Kirara leveled.

"You're doing a good impression of one" InuYasha smirked as he started to run at his top demonic speed.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled glaring at him slightly.

"What?" he called over his shoulder.

Kagome shook her head annoyingly "Never mind"

"Humph!" was his only reply as she focused his concentration on the road ahead and on keeping Kagome from slipping off his back.

*~*~*

"Damn it monk!" InuYasha said as he stopped, letting Kagome from his back.

"We need to eat InuYasha, especially since we only ate two meals yesterday, and besides, must we keep reminding you that we are not all like you and can tire easily"

InuYasha "feh-ed" and sat promptly on the ground while Kagome got out some food that didn't need boiling water. She passed some left-over ramen to InuYasha while she got out rice with soy sauce for Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and herself, some pre-cooked chicken for Kirara. ((A/n: sorry to interrupt, but if anyone knows about some Japanese food that doesn't require being heated up or boiling water, please include it in your review!!!))

By the time everyone finished and stored the dirty dishes in a handy plastic bag and stowed it away in Kagome's backpack, a rolling dark cloud appeared not too far off.

"We better get going if we don't want to get caught in a downpour" Sango said as she pulled herself, Shippo, and the backpack onto Kirara's back.

Miroku got back on the bike as Kagome replaced herself on InuYasha's back; without a second to spare they took off at high speed as it started to drizzle.

*~*~*

The rain made a soothing sound of 'pitter-patter' against the reed mat that hung over the High Priestess's hut, she had a fire going in her pit in the middle of he raised floor. She smoothed out cornhusks to dry by the fire and sighed bitterly.

'I hope the fields have been well harvested, we do not need to be without rice for this coming winter'

Kaede looked up with her peering, eye at the mat as a group of six entered, wet, tired, and by the looks of it proud.

"Oh?! Ye back so soon? What has happened? Tell this old woman" Kaede said as she patted the wooden floor next to her welcoming them to join her at the fire side.

"We've finished the jewel" Kagome said, the smallest of smiles on her face as she took the jewel off her neck and showed it to the elder woman.

"So this means that ye have destroyed Onigumo?"

"Yes, the curse on my hand is gone which is proof in itself that he is gone" Miroku said while fingering the jade that still hung from his wrist out of habit.

"And the fact that he dragged Kikyo to hell with him is just as good as that proof" InuYasha said sadness a little evident in his voice.

Kagome looked at him with a gentle, sympathetic gaze as he stared into the fire.

"I am glad for that news" Kaede said with confidence as she took a poker to the fire, everyone stared at the elder that was the younger sister of the deceased priestess. She glanced up with her one eye and sighed sadly "indeed I loved my older sister....but that undead woman wasn't her.....to me she departed 50 years ago and that undead woman was only but a reminder or that, she had no soul nor heart, only bitterness and hatred with cunning to cloud her "soul" Kaede said firmly setting her poker down next to her and flipping over the cornhusks that were now a dry light green.

She looked at InuYasha who seemed to be normal go into a moment of sadness and felt pity for him, he was a victim of that imposter and Kaede called her, a disgrace to her older sister's memory, even if technically that was her.

"Cheer up InuYasha, be thankful she can now rest with no more revenge in her heart" Kaede said while smiling at him which shocked him but a little.

He gave a weak 'humph' and inched back to a solitary corner in the back of the hut.

"Now, tell me what else has happened to ye six, especially about the battle" Kaede said while turning her wise eye to the rest of the group. Sango told her with shuddery breaths every now and then about her brother's small freedom before departing the earth at his own free will, and Miroku described the final battle with as much as he could remember before he was knocked unconscious.

Kaede gave Sango a true look of sympathy as she herself knew what it was like to loose a loved one especially a sibling and only nodded her head at the end of Miroku's telling of the battle.

"At least ye do not have to risk your lives much longer for that god- forsaken jewel"

"Yes......" Kagome said thoughtfully as she slipped the chain that held the jewel back over her head and onto her neck 'no more adventures'

Kagome couldn't help but go back to the thoughts of the situation she was in at the moment 'where am I gonna live.....' at first she thought in the future......at the home she's always known but then her heart ached in an unpleasant way as if she sensed foreboding in that answer 'maybe all I need is a break from the past and think things through'. She glanced back at InuYasha and sighed sadly at the thought of him picking an argument with her because she wanted to go home again.

'Guess I'll have to wait and see'
