The wound had healed for the most part. Megumi was now back to doing what she normally did.
She walked outside to see Sesshomaru and Rin under a tree.
"Megumi?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes…" She answered.
"I am Sessomaru and I need to speak to you."
Megumi looked at Rin then back to him. "Uhh, okay."
"Good." He motioned for her to come closer.
Megumi walked over to him and they walked into the forest.
Rin quietly followed them.

Kirara jumped onto Miroku's lap. Sango laughed. Miroku petted her head. Sango smiled at Miroku. He smiled back. She sat down next to him. Kirara purred. Miroku turned to Sango.
"You know you are very beautiful Sango."
"Ooh Miroku." She blushed.
"You would be the perfect mother for my children."
Sango slapped him. A red hand mark stung his left cheek. "YOU PERVERT!"
"That was a complement."
Sango sighed then stood up and left.
Miroku continued to pet Kirara.

Megumi sat on her usual branch, swinging her foot back and forth.
InuYasha looked for her. Kagome right behind him.
They stood under the tree looking for her.
"Are you sure she is over here?"
"That's what I was told."
"Well can't you smell her?"
"Yes, she is around here."
"Well then where is she?" Kagome began to get irritated.
Suddenly something hit InuYasha's head.
"Oww! What was that?"
Kagome picked up a wooden sandal.
Megumi swung into view, feet hung over the branch.
"That's mine, sorry about that."
They both watched her hang upside down.
Megumi held her hand out for the sandal.
"Where have you been Megumi." Inu asked.
"With Sesshomaru."
"Sesshomaru?"
"Yeah, Sesshomaru."
"Why?"
"Because I am leaving."
"Leaving?"
"Yes, I am leaving all of you."
Kagome looked rather happy.
"Why? Is it me?" InuYasha asked.
Kagome shot him a dirty look.
"No Sesshomaru needs me to help him."
"So you are going to travel with him?"
"Yup, I don't know how long though."
"I see." InuYasha crossed his arms.
Megumi spun around on the branch.
"Are you having fun?" Kagome asked her rudely, breaking her silence.
Megumi jumped off and looked at Kagome, hurt.
InuYasha looked over at Kagome.
"I-I better be going." Megumi turned away.
Kagome smirked. InuYasha glared at her.
Megumi walked back to the village.
"What in the hell was that for?"
"What?!" Kagome asked shocked.
"You were really cold to her."
"Me…cold?"
"I don't understand why."
"I am not fond of her."
"Right now I am not fond of you." InuYasha began to walk away.
Kagome's mouth hung open. "Wh-What?"
He did not answer, he just continued to walk.
Kagome curled her fingers into fists.

Sango hugged Megumi. "Visit often."
"Of course I will."
"Don't disappear for 3 years again."
"I promise I won't."
"I am going to miss you."
"I am going to miss you too."
Megumi smiled at her old friend.
Sango looked at Megumi.
"Come on Sango, I am not going away forever!"
"With you I never know."
Megumi laughed.
"Megumi, are you sure you don't want to bear my child." Miroku smiled.
"I don't want to give birth any time soon, thanks."
"Suit yourself." Miroku turned to Sango.
"You'll never quit."
"Nope." He held her hands.
She hit him again making Megumi laugh.
Miroku pouted and walked away.
The girls laughed at this.
InuYasha walked up.
"Oh, hello again InuYasha." Megumi smiled.
"Whatever." InuYasha began to walk by her.
Megumi stopped him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Take care of yourself."
"Feh." InuYasha walked into Kaede's hut.
Kagome then ran to them, she was clearly chasing after him.
Megumi saw her and walked inside the hut.
"You know she really isn't all that bad." Sango looked over at her.
Kagome did not respond.
"I have known Megumi for a long time. She has been through a lot, she was just having fun."
"So you think it is okay for her to kiss the man I love?"
"She does not know that. And it's not like InuYasha and you are married."
Kagome hung her head.
"Come on Kagome don't act like this." Miroku said, coming out of nowhere.
Kagome's eyes fell upon Miroku's feet.
Sango pulled on his arm. "Leave her alone!"
"No he is right." Kagome kept her head down and retreated back to the hut.
Miroku and Sango looked at each other and then followed her.

Megumi received her mended kimono in a small pack from Kaede. She bowed to her, gratefully.
InuYasha stood in the back corner. He acted like he did not care. His arms folded over the other. His golden eyes were focused on the floor. Sesshomaru waited for Megumi to say goodbye to everyone so they could go.
= = = = =
After apologizing to Shippo for the fear she caused him multiple time, Megumi was ready to go. Before walking out the door she spun around and blew a kiss at InuYasha.
The darkness shadowed his mysterious face but Megumi could still make out a smile. She smiled to herself. She smiled to herself after seeing this.
Sesshomaru got onto his feet when Megumi emerged from the hut. Rin happily ran over to her.
"My Lord does not want to wait anymore. Are you ready?"
"Yes."
Rin smiled then threw her head in Sesshomaru's direction. "Ready, My Lord?"
"Be quit Rin!"
"Yes my lord."
"Wait Megumi!"
Megumi stopped and turned around. Kagome stood behind her with hands folded. She then walked over to Megumi and hugged her.
"I am sorry for being so mean. Good bye."
"It was nice meeting you."
Kagome smiled. Megumi turned around and walked over to Sessho. She smiled to herself. As she walked away she sang a song quietly to herself.
"I was so happy when you smiled,
Your smile breaks through the clouds of gray.
Far from the sunny days that lie in sleep.
Waiting with patience for the spring,
When the flowers will bloom renewed again.
Knowing there's more beyond the pain of today.
Although the pain of yesterday remains,
You can go on living as much as your heart believes.
You can't be born again although you can change,
Let's stay together always."

A/N: So that is it, the fic is over. No more Megumi. Aww, to bad so sad. ::giggles:: Anyway, sorry for the late update, I had a serious case of writers block. This is what happens when you are writing two other stories at the same time. The song I have Megumi sing at the end it the opening to Fruits Basket. The song is called "For Fruits Basket." The English version is sung by Meredith McCoy. It is so pretty. I believe that the song fit perfectly with the last sight that Megumi had of InuYasha. Well anyway...thanks for the reviews. I love you guys! I will be putting my other fanfics up soon so look for them. Ja mata ne!
