At Least We Have Each Other

Chapter 1- Kagome's Choice

Disclaimer- I don't own Inu-yasha.

This is honestly my second non-humor fanfic.maybe. Of all the fanfics that I wrote, only one is non-humorous, so right now I'm trying to make another one. But one of my later chapters may become humor. This is a story mainly about Inu-yasha and Kagome's two children who live in Kagome's time with their parents and accidentally go to the feudal era. And this takes place 15 years after the defeat of Naraku (I have not seen every episode, so I don't actually know how Naraku dies). Sooo.please R/R to tell me if I should post another chapter.

30 year old Kagome Higurashi sat out into the warm sun. Her children were playing out in front of the warm sun as her husband sat in a tree, relaxing. Her life had changed since both her and her husband, Inu-yasha, saved the feudal era and made one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

Flashback

15 year old Kagome was nervous as she, Inu-yasha, Miroku, Shippo, and Sango walked inside Naraku's castle. The smell inside was sickening, like the inside parts of people were all over the walls and never cleaned up. As they got deeper inside the castle, the 5 of them noticed the decaying bodies of both humans and youkai lying against the walls of the castle, maggots crawling inside and outside of the bodies.

Kagome put her hand over her mouth and Shippo covered his eyes, but they still walked with the group. They finally got to the room where Naraku dwelled. Naraku stared at them with an unemotional look on his ugly face and stood up. Before they knew it, Naraku flew at them and began attacking Inu-yasha with his sword. Naraku was very fast, so fast that Inu-yasha couldn't let his guard down for half a second to attack Naraku.

Miroku used his void, although it didn't help much since the poison bees were around. When the bees came, he closed the void to avoid being poisoned. That's when it was Sango's turn to attack. She ran up behind Naraku, her boomerang (I don't know the name of it) ready to attack him from behind. Just as she expected, Naraku quickly turned around and hit her boomerang back at her, giving Inu-yasha some time to get into a perfect attack position, but not enough time to complete an attack.

Shippo went up to Sango and attacked Naraku with his newest attack, Lava Gun. For once, Naraku was hurt from Shippo's attack, which caused some severe burns. Naraku was angry. He shot one of his strongest attacks at Sango and Shippo. A purple colored ball that was larger than Sango, headed towards Sango and Shippo. Shippo held onto Sango, shaking in fear as Sango tried to attack the ball, but was unsuccessful.

Sango closed her eyes, ready to feel pain, but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw Miroku, breathing heavily. "Very clever, Miroku. You were lucky to have used your staff against me that time, but it will not work a second time." Naraku said, laughing as he got ready for a second attack. He didn't even expect the unexpected attack by Inu-yasha from behind.

The Tetsuaiga and Inu-yasha's claws dug deep into Naraku's back. Blood spilled out of the fatal injury that he got, but instead of becoming mad, Naraku was smiling. The blood that spilled onto the ground suddenly flew back into Naraku's body and his wounds and burns healed as if he was never attacked. Naraku then began fighting with Inu-yasha as he did in the beginning. Nobody even noticed Kagome running at the side of Naraku.

Kagome closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then re-opened her eyes. She saw something pink in his left leg. It was the last parts of the Shikon no Tama! She took out her bow and aimed one of her arrows at the Shikon no Tama. The tip of the arrow glowed a bright white color as it hit the pink part, revealing the Shikon no Tama. The Shikon no Tama fell out of Naraku's leg and rolled against the foot of Inu-yasha.

Now Naraku was angrier than he ever was. His eyes became a deep red as he ran with lightening speed to Kagome. Miroku casted a spell on Naraku, Sango hit him with her boomerang, and Shippo casted Lava Gun, but they had no effect. Kagome shot another arrow at Naraku, but he quickly dodged it with his lightening speed and kept running. Kagome was scared for her life. That's when she got a miracle.

Inu-yasha grabbed the Shikon no Tama from Naraku and got more strength. He ran after Naraku with the Tetsuaiga and sliced Naraku up into many pieces before Naraku even got to Kagome. Naraku's body fell to the ground and didn't heal. Everybody knew he was dead.

Kagome nearly sank to the floor in relief. Naraku was dead and now the Shikon no Tama was hers. A yellow light glowed over Miroku's hand. He removed the cloth and jewels from his hand and gasped. His void was gone! Another thing that surprised everyone was that the castle disappeared. The castle was only around if Naraku was alive! Kirara sat outside the "castle", just like Sango told her to, staring in confusion at the disappearing castle.

Inu-yasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo hopped onto Kirara and flew to Kaede's village. Before they got into Kaede's house, they were met by Kaede's assistant, Minako- or Mina. Mina worked to be a healer to help support her and her 6 year old sister, Miya. Mina, at age 16, was almost as good a healer as Kaede and swore to take Kaede's job when the elderly woman was unable to work anymore. Kagome only knew her for a few months, but really liked her.

Kagome and her companions went inside and showed Kaede the entire Shikon no Tama. The elderly woman's eyes got wide as she stared at the pink ball in Kagome's hands. Kaede smiled as Kagome put the Shikon no Tama in Kaede's hands. The smile then went away from Kaede's face as she sadly said, "I have some bad news. Kagome, this jewel has enough power to grant you one wish. But after the wish, the well will be sealed up. You must choose to either stay here in our time, or go to your time."

Kagome stood silent. How could she choose to live with her family and friends in different worlds? "I must know the answer by tomorrow afternoon or your home will be chosen for you." Kaede said to Kagome. Kagome nodded and walked to the place where she first met Inu-yasha, the place where they first said "I love you" to each other, and where they shared their first kiss. But at home, she had her family, the place where she grew up on, and where her home was. She needed Inu-yasha, but she also needed her home.

She sat on a stump in the woods and thought, "Maybe I could take Inu-yasha to my world. But what about my friends in the feudal era?" Kagome then felt someone sit next to her. She looked at the person and saw Inu-yasha. How could she tell him that she needed to go home? Inu-yasha was the first to speak, "You should stay in your world." "But I need you, Inu-yasha!" Kagome cried.

"I need you, too. But..."

"Can't you stay in my world, too?"

"Yes, but what about the people in your world? They won't like a hanyou living in the present."

"I don't care! I love you, Inu-yasha! I don't and never will care about what people say about you!"

"Then I will stay with you in your world, Kagome my love."

Inu-yasha and Kagome then met in a hug.

They waited until the next day to reveal the news. Kagome used her wish to stay with Inu-yasha and chose to live in her world. She gave a final, tearful farewell to her friends in the feudal era and left through the well with Inu-yasha, never to return to the feudal era again.

End Flashback

Kagome was happy with her life at the time. She stayed at the shrine with the Higurashi's even after both her and Sota married. Sota left and moved into a house not far from the shrine. Mrs. Higurashi continued her job, and Jii-chan was nearly too old to work in the shrine anymore, so Inu-yasha and Kagome worked at the shrine, too.

Kagome and Inu-yasha's 2 children helped, too. Their two children, both twins the age of 10, were very hard workers. The elder of the two was their son, Hiroshi, the starter of fights with both boys and girls no matter how strong or weak they were. He looked exactly like a hanyou with his black hair and little hanyou ears. The younger was their daughter, Hitomi, the continuer of fights, mostly ones with her brother. She was only 5 minutes younger than her brother and, like him, had black hair and little hanyou ears.

Hitomi and Hiroshi were told many stories about their well, how it led to another world, but it was all sealed up now. The twins hated their lives in the present. They went to school like normal kids, but were often teased because of their ears. The kids at school pulled the twins' ears and they had no friends but themselves.

Everyday the twins hoped that they could go through the well to save them from the children at school. They hoped, they prayed, and finally their prayers were answered. One day, as they were fighting around the well, they saw it shaking and heard the seal breaking. They thought that it was nothing, but they were wrong...very wrong.
