Chapter 1: Never Again
"Five years, it's been five years since he last came for me."
Kagome leaned her face into her pillow, as more tears leaked from her cloudy eyes.
She had lost everything in those five years. Her husband, daughter, everything was
gone, ever since that fateful day.
Flashback
Kagome awoku to the sound of a child's crying.
Slowly opening her eyes, icy blue soon met with amber. He smiled at her, as
Kagome lifted her hand to the top of his head, to rub the furry ears she loved so much.
"Kagome, maybe we should check on Sakura."
Inuyasha's voice was gruff, as it always was, but you could always make out the love
from his words. Kagome stretched, and quickly slipping on her robe, walked down the
hall to her daughter's room.
Bouncing up and down in her hand-made bed, with a tear-streaked face, was their
beautiful hanyou daughter, Sakura. Even though it had only been a few months, since
her birth, Sakura was already equivilent in size and intelligence, to that of a three year
old human child.
( AN: Why Kagome still babies her, I'll never know.
Kagome: It's because she's my sweet little angel!
AN: Shut up! This is my story! )
Kagome picked up her daughter, and walked out of her small-sized hut, to the Goshinboku.
The sacred tree had seen so much over the years. It held all of her memories, good and bad.
When Inuyasha had proposed to her, he had done it right in front of this tree. When she had
gone back through the well to tell her mother of the news, the Goshinboku had witnessed the
joy in her eyes, when she realized she would get grandchildren. Yes, the sacred tree was always
there to see it all. They even held their wedding underneath this tree, and their matching, golden
rings, were proof of it.
Kaede had been pleased when she Kagome had announced that she would not be living in her
time, but staying there with Inuyasha. She had generously given up a hut, large enough for them
to raise their entire family in.
"Oi, Kagome! What the hell are you doing?!"
Snapping out of her thoughts, Kagome turned to her husband, Sakura still in her arms. Inuyasha
slowly walked up to her, and softly kissed her of the lips.
"You guys are so gross! Why don't you get a room?"
Their adopted son, Shippo, walked out from the brush, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara behind him,
carrying a set of very hyperactive triplets.
Shippo had grown up so much. He was no longer the little kit they had known so long ago, but
a handsome, young fox engaged to Kirara.
Over the years, Kirara had grown as well. She had discovered how to get into her humanoid form,
and Shippo and the loyal hell cat realized how much they had really loved each other.
Sango and Miroku had finally released their true feelings, and had gotten married three years
before Inuyasha and Kagome had. Those two had always loved each other, and now were
married. Along the way, they had three children. Triplets in fact, Sano, Mira, and Rikku.
Kagome smiled as she studied her family. They were all a family to her. She missed her
real mother, and her brother everyday, but this was where she belonged, and she was
happy.
The bushes rustled behind her.
Naraku, they had forgotten to destroy him. They had their families now, and Naraku
would be willing to strike during this time.
"No it's not Naraku, there aren't any jewel shards." Kagome was relieved.
Sesshomaru stepped out from the forest. He was just as cold as ever, but every
now and then, you would get a smile from him.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had finally settled their differences. Sesshomaru
was probably there for Sakura. Every week, Inuyasha and Kagome would go back to
the other side of the well, to visit her family. Since Sango and Miroku had problems of
their own, Sesshomaru would always take care of her for a day. Besides, Rin was
only three years older, and she loved to play with her. He was also getting a chance
to spend some time with the heir to his Western lands.
Just as Sakura was in the care of Sesshomaru's arms, Kagome's senses rang out.
There were jewel shards, many jewel shards.
"Kukukukuku!"
Kagome could always recognize that evil cackling, it was Naraku. He had finally
arrived, so he could try to tear their family apart.
A burst of power shot forth, sending Kagome stumbling backwards, only to be
caught by Inuyasha.
She was ready to fight. Sakura was safe in Sesshomaru's care, he had left long
before Naraku had appeared. Poising her bow, ready to step in at anytime, Inuyasha
held her back.
Shippo grabbed Saro, Mira, and Rikku, then fled, giving Sango and Miroku less to
worry about. Sango and Miroku charged towards Naraku, while hordes of demons
emerged, led by Kagura and Kanna.
Kagome tried once more to help her companions, but was once again held down by Inuyasha.
"Kagome, I want you to go to your time, and stay there until I come for you."
Kagome could make out the worry from his voice, but she refused to leave him. She didn't
want to see him get hurt.
"No, I won't leave you, or Sakura all alone!" Kagome cried as she ripped herself from Inuyasha's
grasp.
Inuyasha's eyes bled red. He was scared, he was worried, and he wanted Kagome out of there.
Grabbing Kagome again, he hoisted her over his shoulder, running towards the well.
Ripping the almost completed jewel from her neck, he tossed Kagome down to her time,
knowing he might never see her or Sakura again.
Tears were streaming down Kagome's face.
Lifting herself from the bottom of the well, she climbed up the ladder, and jumped in again.
She knew it was futile, she couldn't get to the Feudal Era, unless she had the jewel
shards with her. Pain ripped through her heart as she reached the solid floor of the well.
She knew she might never see Inuyasha or Sakura again.
End Flashback
Now here she was.
It had been five years since the incident.
She was now twenty years old, and still no sign of her husband or daughter.
Pulling her pillow tighter against her chest, Kagome knew Inuyasha would never
leave her for five years.
There was only one explanation.
Inuyasha was dead.
(AN: So what do you think? It's longer than most of my stories...I think. Anyhow, I'm already starting on the second chapter.
Hope you like it so far. Please review! )
