As Kagome went back to well to forever say good bye to her family, he could feel that guilt swell up in him. He would never try to hurt Kagome by taking her away from his family, but she had chose him. He even couldn't believe that such an angel would chose a lowly hanyou like himself. He knew that he would never deserve her, but he would do whatever he could to prove himself otherwise.
He thought to himself carefully, looking the Shikon no Tama resting in his palm. He can wish for anything, but what? Does he still have that desire to go full demon? What else could he wish for. He didn't know until it had came to him after a long period of time of thinking and arguing with himself. He finally knew what he would wish for.
'The final wish...I will wish with the Shikon no Tama that-"
Kagome picked herself up out of the well as she turned her head back slightly to look at the well as she sat on the edge of it.
'This is the last time...I'll ever enter through the well like this...'
Her grip tighten against the edge of the well as she pushed herself off and walked up and slid open the doors to see cherry blossoms flowing along the breeze and in front of the shrine, it was gorgeous. She stood a few steps up and raised her hand to take hold of one of the cherry blossoms and in between her fingers. She looked at it's simple beauty carefully as if blew away from her finger tips to see her mother standing outside, looking up at Goshinbuku. Kagome then walked up to her mother's side, looking up along with her.
"It's wonderful out, isn't it?"
Kagome nodded as both mother and daughter admired the tree's beauty.
"Kagome..." her mother spoke out as her eyes shifted over to her daughter's, a bit teary but still warm, full of joy. "I am so proud of you."
Kagome then looked over to her mother and frown to see the tears that were ready to spill from her eyes as well as hers.
"Mama..."
She then wrapped her arms tightly around her mother in a death grip as she rested her hand on her chest and started sobbing. Kagome's mother smiled down upon her and held her just as much, resting her head on top of hers, tracing circles on her back with her hand gently to calm her down. No words were needed, nothing needed to be said, just this last, precious moment they had together.
"Nee-chan?"
Kagome heard Souta call out as she raised her head to peek over beside her mother to see him standing there. He walked over to the two as Kagome untangled herself from her mother and turned to look down at her brother. Souta then jumped up at her and held her tightly.
"I'll miss you so much Kagome!"
He cried out as he held her. Kagome frowned as she knelt down and hugged her brother and laughed to herself sadly.
"I'll miss you too squirt."
She heard Souta cry harder as she spoke to him. None of them ever thought it would hurt this much. To never see a loved one again, but they were thankful for the love they had for each other and the moment they had together. They would never forget.
"Such a wonderful moment and we are not mentioning something very important." Her mother finally spoke up as both Souta and Kagome looked up at her as her mother gave a brilliant smile.
"Today's your 16th birthday Kagome."
Kagome gasped to herself as she herself had seemed to forgotten. She was so caught up with all the stress of having to leave her family and the Shikon no Tama that she had completely forgotten about her birthday. Her mother then held at her hand to her.
"Come, I have something to give you."
Kagome blinked as she held at her hand to her mother, her mother gently taking her to her feet and leading her inside through the house as Souta followed along. Kagome was curious to wonder what her mother would give her but she seemed really happy about it.
"I've been working on it ever since the first day you left through the well..." as she stood by the door one of the rooms and slowly slid the doors opened as Kagome's eyes widen and glistened. Her whole body froze as she saw what stood before her. Her mother stepped inside the room and glided her hand onto it's smooth and silky texture. A lovely white kimono decorated a variety of flowers colored in green, yellow, red, and orange. The glow that the sun made through the window onto the kimono gave it such a beauty that she had never seen.
"You...you made this for me."
She nodded and smiled. "I only ask one thing Kagome, that you will wear this when you go back."
Kagome smiled back to her mother as both Souta and mother left the room.
"Tell me when you are decent."
A few minutes, Kagome called out to her mom as she then slid open the door and both eyed Kagome's appearance. It fit her perfectly.
"Nee-chan, you look great!"
She blushed as she raised her arms to take a look at the kimono on her, it feel so nice and felt a small aura of her mother's love all over it which made it the better. Her mother then walked up to her as she asked to her turn. She then took all of her raven black hair into her hands and wrapped it up, clipping it in a bun, leaving some strands of her hair to fall to her face as she turned her back towards her and smiled.
"Beautiful..."
Kagome and her family now stood in front of the well house as Kagome looked back at her family and smiled sadly.
"Mama...Souta, I love you so very much. Please don't ever forget that."
They both smiled as Souta reached up to grab his mother's hand and grip it tightly as if to let the pain of watching his sister leave be let out.
"Go child..."
Kagome then nodded as she looked back ahead and slid the door open and stood there frozen. This was it, was she ready? This was the last time she would ever be with her family and the beginning of her new life with Inuyasha. She had to be strong, as long as she knew that the family she loved will love her just as strongly, then she could do this. She let out one last tear as she stepped inside the well house and closed the door behind her, daring not to look back at her family because of the fear of her crying in front of them. She walked up to the well as she was setting herself up to jump in. Her hands were trembling as they gripped onto the edge, her breath was getting shaky, she was ready but wasn't at the same time.
'This is it Kagome...are you ready?' She asked herself. She still stood still, looking down at the darkness of the well. She nodded slowly and then jumped down. The fall seemed like it was never ending, thinking about all the memories of her family running through her mind until her reminiscing came to an end when she fell roughly to the ground. She moaned out softly in pain as her legs began to ache. As she started rubbing her legs, she had remembered something very important.
"Inuyasha...he has the Shikon no Tama and I can't get back there without it. Inuyasha..."
She sat there, hoping and praying that the well would start working as she could feel time slowly going on. She stood herself up, staring at the dirt ground beneath her as she started gently stomping down on it.
"Come on, let me go back!"
Her stomping had grown stronger as she began to get frustrated, what if she can't go back now, what if she can't see Inuyasha anymore. She then suddenly stopped. No, not after all this she wouldn't now just not be able to see him. No, she wouldn't allow it.
"Inuyasha...INUYASHA!" She cried out and as she was about to shout his name out again when she was cut off with the feeling that she couldn't describe. Her heart was racing so fast she thought it would explode, she was trembling horribly, she knelled down and shut her eyes tightly. She then cried out loudly. Her head now felt like it was spinning, her body was aching horribly, and she felt a strong aura surround her as when she quickly opened her eyes, a white blinding light flashed in her eyes and then fell, slipping into an unconscious state.
Bright, so bright...
She slowly opened her eyes to see the shinning sun shining down at her eyes. She shut them again and slowly turned so her stomach would be to the ground as her hands weakly gripped the ground, in effort to push herself up. Her body was aching, shaking only a little. As she sat herself up, she dusted her kimono off with the little dirt that was on it as she stopped to look at her hands. She then carefully brought them up to her face and saw...
"My nails, they are so long...almost like-"
She cut herself off with a soft cry as she slid her nail across her fingertip, causing to bleed.
"...claws."
She quickly stood herself up and looked around. Where was she? She started to panic as she started to hear all sorts of different noises loudly. She rubbed her temples roughly from the intensity of how loud the noises are, it was unbearable.
"Wow...you're beautiful..."
She shook her head, in effort to get rid of the terrible noises that she was hearing, and turned to see Inuyasha giving a look of awe at her appearance. She ran to him quickly and embraced him tightly. He was here, which means she must've been in the Feudal era.
"I was so scared! I thought that I would never see you again!"
"Why would you think such a stupid thing?"
"Because I forgot that I left you with the Shikon no Tama and I couldn't come back without it and-" she spoke quickly as she felt a clawed finger cover her lips and stop her from speaking.
"Calm down Kagome. You're here now so don't fear anymore. Besides, I know you must be having some questions for me since you woke up."
She opened her mouth to speak but her pressed his finger harder and she immediately closed it.
"I made my wish while you were over their with your family and it's a very big wish that I made. First thing was that I wished for us to be together till the day we die. Since you were human and I was hanyou-"
"Was human?"
He nodded. "Yes Kagome, I hope you do not hate me when I tell you this but I shared my curse with you. You are now hanyou just like me." He raised his clawed finger to comb one of her silver strands that she now had. "I wished for it because I wish for to live with me for just as long and that you will be better able to protect yourself and our future pups if needed."
She blushed when he mentioned 'pups' but yet was for some reason excited. "So I am now hanyou like you?"
He nodded again. "Yes, I hope that you-"
"Wow, this is so cool! So now I can jump around in trees and stuff you do?"
He blinked in confusion. 'Does she...like the fact that she's hanyou?'.
"You mean you don't care?"
She smiled, "Of course not! But...you said that there was more to your wish."
"Yes, another part of my wish is that you would be able to see your family again."
"W-what are you talking about? I can't see them anymore now that the well is gone."
He then took out of his haori a purple pendant and tied it around her neck.
"I felt guilt for being the one to split you away from your family and I never meant for you to hurt so much because of it. So with this pendant, it will give you the power to visit them. You can only use the power of this pendant once a year, so anytime you feel the need to go see them again, then you may use it."
"Inuyasha...I..."
He then cut her of with a quick yet gentle kiss to the lips as he looked down at her.
"My mate..." he spoke, his lips brushing across her own as he spoke those words. He then raised both his clawed hands and cupped her face with them, rubbing his thumbs against her cheeks wiping away her tears.
"I love you Inuyasha..." she had said as she raised her hands to grab his wrists and lean in closer to his touch. "I love you so much..."
He smiled at her words. "I love you Kagome." He then once against leaned forward to kiss her lips again this time with more passion and force.
'Who needs to be a full demon when you have one who makes you just as strong...-no, stronger then that.'
Souta sat in his class, his eyes staring off into space has his eyes followed the sky, thinking of his sister and the brave Inuyasha. He sighed, he had missed both of them.
"Alright class, take out your history books! Today we will be learning about the Feudal era and the legend of of a half demon/half human named Inuyasha and his adventures."
Souta listened as he shook his thoughtful thinking and quickly took out his book and swiftly turned the pages. As he was looking through the book he stopped one page and began to read it to himself.
"...finally the Shikon no Tama was complete. In the beginning the hanyou wanted to become a full-fledged demon because he hated the way he was. In the end, he chose to wish to be together with the one he loved and the one that helped him throughout his adventures. He wished to be with the human girl from the future, Kagome and they lived together in peace."
Souta read the passage to himself as he looked next to the page to see a drawing of Inuyasha and his sister Kagome together and smiled to himself as he touched the drawing of his sister.
'At least I get to know that there is a happy ending.'
Yes, it's the end! No more cliffhanger to deal with. It's over dances around like a maniac! I know that this was a really corny ending, but I'm a sucker for corny, happy endings so deal with it!
