Inuyasha and Naomi woke up at the same time to find their arms around each other. They opened their eyes to each other's eye, blushed and turned away.
"So how was your sleep?" asked Naomi.
"Pretty good." Inuyasha said, stretching.
"You know what I wanna do today?" Naomi asked looking at the sky.
"No," Inuyasha said. "What's that?"
"I want to go back to your time."
Inuyasha blinked. "Are you sure?"
Naomi nodded.
Inuyasha stared at her. "But – oh!"
"What is it?" Naomi asked. She looked down at her arm and the cloth Inuyasha wrapped around her arm was soaked in blood.
"I just don't want that to happen to you again." Inuyasha said in a small voice.
"It was my fault and I'll pay for it if I have to." Naomi said, getting up. "I don't want to have to worry you."
She started to pack the tent off and they were on their way back home. Naomi changed her bandage and they dropped off their things. They went back into the temple. Naomi reached into her pocket and pulled out the keys.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Inuyasha asked nervously.
Naomi nodded. "I'm sure." She brought her legs over the lip of the well. "Let's go now." She went in and Inuyasha trailed behind her.
Soon they were back in the forest. It was how Naomi left it.
It's so peaceful here, she thought to herself. I wish it could be like this forever.
I wish that time could stay still.
"Naomi? Did you listen to a word I said?"
Naomi turned around. "Sorry." She said, blushing. "Let's go into town."
It took about half an hour to walk back into the town. Inuyasha slowly traced behind Naomi, still in his new clothes. But it caused a little more commotion then Naomi thought.
"Kagome-sama? Is that you?" a villager asked in deep surprise.
"Everybody! Come quick!"
"It is Kagome-sama!!" people exclaimed everywhere.
"She has been brought back from the dead!"
Naomi was greatly frightened. She grabbed onto Inuyasha's arm. He stood in front of her.
"This is not Kagome!" he yelled.
The people gasped and some left.
A little child walked up to them.
"Inuyasha, where is Kagome-san?" she asked, looking up at them with big watery eyes.
Inuyasha stood up and looked away. "She's dead." He said coldly.
The child started to cry. "No!" she said. "Why did Kagome die? Who will look after the village?" she plopped down on the ground and more tears came out.
Naomi scooped the child up in her arms and started tending to her. She flashed Inuyasha a cold look. "What's wrong with you?" she asked.
Small tears formed at the end of Inuyasha's eyes. He let them roll down without wiping them away. He turned to Naomi.
"It's just that, whenever someone talks about her it hits a sensitive spot, ok?" he said, trying to hold the tears back.
"Inuyasha...." Naomi said sympathetically. The child ran off back to where she had come from.

That night, Naomi and Inuyasha slept in the forest. Inuyasha was fast asleep. He breathed softly. Naomi smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. She felt his ears.
Are they real? She thought. They're cute.
Suddenly, a misty light began to blind Naomi. She looked wide-eyed and the figure standing in front of her.
"Kagome!" she whispered excitedly. "I can't believe it's you!"
Naomi nodded and smiled. "I haven't seen you in a while."
"So you've met Inuyasha now." Kagome said, sitting right beside her. Naomi suddenly felt cold.
"He's a good friend and he is very loyal to you." Naomi said, looking up at her.
Kagome sighed. "I just wish I wasn't how I am like now. You are very lucky."
"I guess I am." Naomi said. "I guess I take everything for granted."
"You and Inuyasha make a cute couple." Kagome said, looking at the stars.
Naomi sat up. "I would take him away from you." She said embarrassed. "He's yours."
"But I can't be with him anymore." Kagome said sadly. She turned towards Naomi. "I am passing that chance to you."
"But weren't you going out with Hojo?" asked Naomi.
Kagome shrugged. "He was sweet. I guess in the end, Inuyasha appealed to me more." She sighed and looked up at the sky. "He's free now, and I won't stop you Naomi."
Naomi looked at Inuyasha who was still sleeping. "I guess he is cute."
"Let it out." Kagome urged, giving her a sly smile.
Naomi smiled. "Okay, he is hot." (Me: Well HELL YESS!!!)
"He's all yours if you want." Kagome said quietly.
"I like his ears. I've always wondered how he got them." Naomi said.
"He got them from the half of his father." Kagome explained.
"What?"
"Inuyasha's father was a youkai, his mother was human. He's a hanyou – you know part-demon, did he not tell you?" Kagome asked.
Naomi shook his head. "No," she said bitterly. "He didn't."
"He should have." Kagome said, surprised. "It's his big secret. He takes pride in it."
Naomi had tears flowing down her cheeks.
"He lied to me the whole time. He lied!"
#%#%#%
Me: It kind of leaves you in suspense.
Inuyasha: I don't like this ending.
Yami: I do!
Yugi: Oh, come off it.
Yami: Look what you've done! You've turned my Aibou against me =(
Inuyasha: No I didn't, he turned himself against you.
Me: O.o
