Morning sunlight in your eyes brings life to everything
Waking the earth with love, and tenderness within

Kagome walked behind Inuyasha, smiling then looked down at their linked hands happily. Her heart was soaring. He loved her! He really loved her. Everything was right now. Nothing could stop them. Not Naraku. Not Sesshomaru. Not Maieku. No one.

Feel the blooming of the trees vivid in the clear blue sky
So blue that it just takes your heart and breathe away

Kagome looked up in surprise then as Miroku came running out of Kaede's hut quickly followed by Sango who had her weapon raised and ready to bring down over Miroku's head. Judging by the blazing red handprint on Miroku's cheek Kagome could guess what had happen. Happiness at seeing her friends pulled a soft laugh from her. Inuyasha glanced back at her and smiled.

And why the smallest whispers in your ears give happiness
Because I know that tomorrow is full of love (for us all)

Miroku tripped and Sango managed to bring the weapon down on his head sharply but she l ooked up at the laugh and smiled in surprise.

"Kagome! Inuyasha. You've returned."

Kagome smiled and nodded. "We're fine now. How have you been."

Sango grinned and leaned on the giant boomerang easily. "We've been surviving.

Hi Seoul
Chase the shining dreams ahead
The days to come are full of hope for everyone

Miroku rubbed his head as he sat up. "I'm still trying to survive." He stood and smiled at Kagome. "I'm glad you're safe. And it seems you have a story to tell." Looking pointedly as were Inuyasha still held Kagome's hand captive.

Kagome blushed and Sango peered around Miroku at them curiously. "Kagome-chan?"

"It's about time!" Shippou declared jumping up onto Sango's head. "Kagome!" He jumped into Kagome who opened her arms to catch him and laughed again.

The shining sun will light up your path till the end
Like birds we'll take the flight of pure joy, for days to come
Hi Seoul

Inuyasha gave the pair a haunted look. It was so much like his dream. This couldn't be. It...it couldn't be. Kagome looked up at him and smiled. Inuyasha's heart sank with year and he stepped forward towards her then leaned down and kissed her softly. She stiffened in surprised then leaned into him and he relaxed. Kagome. It was Kagome.

He pulled back and she smiled at him again. Kagome's smile. And he ignored the stares of Miroku, Sango, and Kaede who had emerged from her hut.

Silent starlight in the sky gives me hope and warmth inside
Filling my heart with love and happiness within

"So Inuyasha." Kaede walked down the steps towards him and Kagome and looked up at them. "Ye have finally chosen."

Inuyasha nodded once. "I have."

Kaede smiled. "Ye have chosen well."

Sweet memories of friendship of us linger in my heart
So sweet that it just takes your heart and breath away

Inuyasha turned and tipped his head back to look at the sky. Kikyou...he'd always love her. Always remember her. And though their time together had been short it was what was meant to be. And it was his and Kagome's turn. Kikyou...Kagome. I love you both.

I'm sorry.

And I love you.

He turned to look at Sango and Miroku who watched him and growled gruffly. "Come on then! Naraku isn't going to kill himself you know." He turned and strode away from the briskly. Felt their confused hesitation behind him before their movement as the hurried to catch up.

Kagome. I want to live for you too.

And why the smallest whispers from the streets talk happiness
Because all the joy and passion is all out there (for us all)

Kagome watched Inuyasha walk away then Miroku and Sango hurry to catch up. She lingered a moment and turned to smile at Kaede. "Thank you Kaede."

Kaede looked at her curiously. "For what child?"

"For bringing us together. For causing us to meet." Kagome smiled then hugged Shippou then hurried to catch up with her friends.

There were jewel shards out there. Waiting still to be found and part of her never wanted to find them all. Wanted the journey to never in. Wanted to be in this little group forever. But it would end one day. But she'd have Inuyasha. And they'd walk on together. They'd go on living together. An even though living is hard there's one thing that makes all the pain, all the sadness, and even all the happiness worth it all.

Love
