Wow. I read through all the reviews (and some threats) and then looked at the last time I updated and gasped. Literally. I can't believe I was so inconsiderate to wait almost so long to update. Anyway, I have been suffering from slight writer's block with this story so I will try my best to follow along my original plot line. I see only one, possibly two chapters left for this one, depending on if I write an epilogue or not.
But all of the above depends on the reviewers.
Disclaimer: I tried to buy him on eBay but I was outbid. Drat to the almost empty purse. So ya live, ya learn, and then u turn to kidnapping. So anyway I still don't own Inu and co.

Inu Yasha still sat there. Quiet. Stunned. And, well that about summed it up. He had no idea how to respond to something like that. Suicide. It's a touchy subject. One that he touched and (thankfully) didn't go through with when Kikyou died. 'Geez, why am I thinking so much into this? I don't care what she did. It's not as though I would have even met her when she was alive. Well, she may have been my old nanny when he was born or something, but that's beside the point.' He quietly shook his head to clear his thoughts. He was getting way off subject.
"I want to give you something." He suddenly heard her Kagome say. Inu Yasha hadn't realized that his mouth had been hanging open, and quickly closed it when he heard her speak. She reached into her sleeve and pulled out a small pink crystal, "This will help you forget."
"Forget what?" Inu Yasha said puzzled as he took the small jewel, and examined it between his thumb and index finger. It looked as though the inside of the jewel was swirling colors of white and pink.
"Forget everything. You will pick up your life exactly as you left off that night you met me. You will forget the meeting with Kikyou, this place, and me." Kagome looked out at the plain to see the sun beginning to appear over the hills.
"I don't want to forget," Inu Yasha said as he stared at her, "I don't want to forget anything."
"That is no longer an option for you. I gave the jewel to you and you accepted." Kagome said, still not looking at him.
"Then I'll get rid of it!" Inu Yasha said as he chucked it across the meadow. From a distance he heard the satisfying 'clink' of the jewel hitting the ground, but when he turn around he saw it beside Kagome.
"You cannot get rid of it. When the sun has fully risen, you will forget all of this."
"You deceived me into taking it!" Inu Yasha yelled at her.
"Would you have taken it any other way!?" Kagome yelled as she got to her feet to face him, "Don't you get it?! I am not of this world! It is better you forget about me and move on rather than stay devoted to something that can never happen!" Silver tears began to pool in her eyes and she turned her head as single tear formed a river down her cheek.
"Maybe I wanted to-" Inu Yasha began but Kagome interrupted him.
"No you wouldn't want to remember." Her voice carried such a tone that Inu Yasha could not find the heart to argue with her more. He stared over to the sun, which was a ¾ the way up.
He only had only a few more moments. He slowly approached her and turned her towards him. He brushed away her tears tenderly with his thumb. He looked into her eyes and held them briefly for a moment. Then he kissed her. It was not a hot, fiery passionate kiss, but still held intensity, need.
They broke their mouths apart, but remained in each other's arms. Then the sun rose completely....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
Inu Yasha walked slowly through the crowded streets of Tokyo looking for the alleyway that would take him directly to his apartment. He heard nothing in the still night air.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Is this the end? Maybe. To understand the last paragraph of this story, refer to the very first chapter of the story.
I am writing an epilogue I decided. There may be one more chapter before it though.
Well Kudos all!
