"Well Kagome, I guess this is goodbye, for a little while at least," Inuyasha said softly as he slowly crossed his arms across his chest. Kagome nodded slowly and stepped up to Inuyasha, holding the completed Shikon No Tama in the palm of her hand. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, then slowly uncrossed his arms and slid them around her chest, pulling her softly against his body. Kagome blushed lightly and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha, holding him just as close to her. They both looked deeply into each other's eyes, and then slowly pressed their lips together in a soft kiss. After a few seconds, they broke the kiss as Kagome slowly ran her hands through his soft white hair. "Don't worry Inuyasha, I won't be gone for too long," Kagome spoke softly before she slowly stepped towards the Ancient Well that stood as the passage way between the Present and the Feudal Era. Shippo sighed heavily from where he was watching them in the bushes. Ever since the beginning when Shippo had first met Kagome, he had always loved her as a motherly figure, but also quietly wished that he was as old as she was, for more than anything, he wished at that moment that it was him that Kagome was kissing instead of Inuyasha. Kagome placed a hand softly on Inuyasha's cheek and smiled serenely at him before she slowly climbed over the edge of the well and jumped in, and returned to her own time, carrying the Shikon No Tama in the palm of her hand.

Kagome slowly hoisted herself over the edge of the well after she had arrived back in her own time. She slowly walked out of the sacred well house and into her own house, sneaking upstairs and into her room without making much sound. As she walked in the door of her room and flicked on the lights, she was surprised to find a small piece of paper sitting on the pillow of her bed. She slowly walked over and picked it up, opening it slowly. It was addressed to her, and she sighed heavily as she instantly knew that it was her grandfather's handwriting. 'Dear Kagome. I left this note for you just to let you know that I think that I have found a way to destroy the Shikon No Tama if Inuyasha decides not to use it. Let me know.' Kagome sighed after she had finished reading the letter and slowly set it down on her desk. "I doubt that Inuyasha would approve of destroying the Sacred Jewel before he used it," Kagome told herself out loud as she set her large pack of things at the end of her bed and slowly lay down after turning off the light, quickly falling asleep in the softness of her own bed.

##Back In the Feudal Era##

Miroku sat across from Inuyasha at the campsite that they had set up after Kagome had left. His mind was wandering as he stared deeply into the golden orange light as the fire licked at the logs. As he let his mind wander, Songo slowly stepped up behind him and sat down next to him, glancing over at his face and smiling softly at the dazed look that lay upon her loves face. Ever since Inuyasha had used the Backslash Wave to defeat Naraku, she had used all of her free time to think about how she truly felt about Miroku. He was cute, nice, and had the softest touch of any man she had ever met before, even if that soft touch was upon her butt or somewhere else on her body. All the times of slapping and beating him into submission were just her ways of hiding the fact that she truly liked the feeling of his soft hands pawing her body. She blushed slightly at these thoughts at the exact moment Miroku snapped out of his thoughts and had noticed the look upon Songo's face. He slowly reached out his hand and was about to grope her on the spot, but decided otherwise, not wanting to get the crap beaten out of him by both Songo and Inuyasha again. He sighed softly and scooted ever so closer towards her, and rested his head upon her shoulder. Songo started out of her thoughts and looked down at the top of Miroku's head and smiled softly. She slowly tapped him on the shoulder and gave a little chuckle as he looked up into her eyes. She was giggling because of the look that lay upon his face, the look of nervousness that blatantly showed that he was bracing for the impact of a slap or punch, which did not come. "Miroku, may I please speak to you in private?" Songo asked him softly as she stood up, her white kimono swirling around her as she turned and motioned towards the forest. Miroku stood up, holding his monk staff in his left hand and nodded slowly. He followed her a short distance into the woods before she stopped and turned around to face him, her eyes upon the ground in embarrassment. "Yes Songo, what did you want-" he was cut off suddenly as, in one swift motion, Songo had put her arms around his waist and pulled him against her chest, pressing her lips hard against his.

Miroku squirmed for a few seconds, surprised by her sudden act of affection, but slowly wrapped his arms around her waist, dropping his staff to the side and slowly running his hands across her behind. Songo slowly broke the kiss and stared deeply into his eyes, blushing the entire time as she did so. "I'm sorry to just surprise you like this Miroku, but I couldn't hold my feelings for you much longer, otherwise I would have probably gone mad. You asked me once, a long time ago if I would bare you a son, and I have decided to change my answer. Yes Miroku, I will bare you children," she whispered softly as she slowly moved him backwards until his back was pressed against a nearby tree, a look of worry upon his face. "Songo, I only asked you that because I needed to make sure that if I was unable to defeat Naraku, that my son would, and now I don't need that anymore," Miroku said slowly as he looked away. His hands stopped rubbing her butt as he slowly looked away, but Songo was not done with him quite yet. She smiled and slowly turned his head so that she could gaze into the gray-brown eyes that she had grown so fond of. "I know that Miroku, but that does not matter to me, for over the span of time since we first met and traveled with Inuyasha, I have had strong feelings growing within me. I have grown to love you and your perverted ways," she said as she nimbly leapt up onto his chest, wrapping her legs around his waist and smiling down at him. Miroku's expression changed from one of worry to one of surprise. He thought about what she had said for a few moments, and then a large smile crept across his face as his hands slowly played with her butt again. Songo closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder, and kissed at his neck softly. "Oh Miroku....You don't know how long I have I wished for you to hold me like this," Songo said in a voice that was barely above a whisper. Miroku slowly let her down from him, and began to pull at his robes, trying his hardest to get them off and succeeding within a few moments, Songo doing the same, laying out her clothes as a bed for them to lie upon.

Songo slowly slid her arms around Miroku's neck and pulled him down on top of her as she lay down upon her clothes, biting at her lower lip as Miroku's soft hands slowly found their way to her breasts and played with them slowly. She winced as Miroku slid within her and broke the barrier of her virginity, causing a little trail of blood to trickle out from within her, but the face of pain quickly vanished as Miroku slowly slid out somewhat then pushed himself back within her, causing her to moan wildly with pleasure. 'He's huge!!!!' Songo thought to herself as she ran her fingers through his hair and moaned loudly again as Miroku brought his lips down upon one of her breasts and began to suck on them hard. Their bodies stayed intertwined together until Songo arched her back and screamed out in pleasure as Miroku groaned and let out a long sigh as he climaxed within her, his seed easily spilling out from within her and slowly oozing to the ground. Songo bit her lower lip again because of the pleasure as Miroku slowly slid himself out of her. "Oh Songo.....That was amazing," Miroku said through heavily breathing as they lay together. Unbeknownst to them, a pair of small green eyes watched the both of them from the safety of the trees. 'So that is what mating looks like. I think I will keep that in mind for when I find the right woman for me,' Shippo thought to himself as he quickly leapt off and returned to the campsite, a single tear slowly sliding down his cheek.
