I don't own Inu Yasha.

Why doesn't anyone review? I try to review for others, but I feel like no one has even read my story. Please Read and Review!! I am on my knees in tears over this. My last story was pretty good, but no one even notices this one.(

Go

Omodasu fidgeted with the silver ring around her finger. Sango looked at her pitifully as Miroku was thinking of how they were going to make Inu Yasha let her go. The suspicious hanyou constantly watched her to make sure that she didn't try to get away, and it drove her crazy to have him hanging around all the time.

"Inu Yasha, we must talk. Excuse us ladies." Inu Yasha followed Miroku obediently outside and the two women continued with making dinner.

"What is it, Miroku? Have you heard anything of the Shikon no tama?"

"You need to let her go." Inu Yasha looked at Miroku coldly. " You're driving her away with all this nonsense. She has a life back in her time. You can't hold on to her if she doesn't want to be with you."

"What?! Of course she wants to be with me! Kikyo and Kagome had that desire; why shouldn't she?"

"Have you not noticed? You are an ignorant fool. Kagome only had half of Kikyo, and that was the gentle, loving Kikyo. But when Kikyo died, she showed the side that hates and lies. Omodasu is that side. She has the part of Kikyo that hated you and tricked you. She is the Kikyo that had evil in her heart. Do you really want to have that Kikyo? Is that the Kagome that you were looking for?"

Inu Yasha stared in shock at the wise monk. He did have the eyes that Kikyo had when she was aiming her arrow at his heart and she didn't care as much for him as Kagome had.

"Well, I don't care. It's still Kikyo. I can make her love me. She can't go back, so there's nothing that she can do. Naraku desires her, but she can not love him back."

Inu Yasha's eyes began to water and he looked down. He knew that what Miroku was right, but he couldn't go on with out her.

"I can't live without her, Miroku."

"No, Inu Yasha. You can't live with out Kagome. Do you remember the way that she cared for you? And she always came back to you. She wasn't Kikyo at all. You loved her even more than Kikyo."

"I did. I didn't even care when Kikyo died for good. Because I loved Kagome so much."

His golden eyes wandered back to the hut and he heard a deafening scream. Miroku ran as fast as he could towards the noise.

"Sango!!!!"

Kaede walked out into the night air with a little bundle in her tired arms. Miroku had tears of joy streaming down his face and he kissed the baby boy on his forehead. Inu Yasha comically cocked an eyebrow and stretched to see over Miroku's shoulder.

"Sango would like to see you now. But please be quiet. She is very tired."

Inu Yasha watched as the man walked into the now quiet hut. Omodasu appeared with a fresh kimono and walked to the other end of the building. She looked so sad and Inu Yasha glimpsed at her awkwardly and scratched his silver-covered head.

' What do I say to her?'

"So I guess that we have to sleep in a different hut tonight. Sango will want her rest, and Miroku would be quite angry if we caused any disturbance."

Omodasu was gazing at Inu Yasha calmly. She smiled a little and Inu Yasha felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh, yeah. I guess so."

"Well, are you hungry? I guess that we got distracted from eating." Inu Yasha's stomach rumbled as she finished saying this. "I'll take that as a yes."

' Why is she being so nice? She has been so hostile and now it feels like it did before I blocked the well.'

Omodasu ate silently and watched as the boy in front of her enjoyed her cooking.

' Good. Now Korouto can have some good food. I can't wait to see him.'

Inu Yasha sat with his back to the wall and his sword held up in his arm. He looked so peaceful sleeping and Omodasu looked with love upon him.

"Oh, Inu Yasha. I hate to do this to you," she whispered to the still figure, "but I need to leave. So I guess this is goodbye forever."

Inu Yasha was actually awake, but he decided to let her go. He had no right to stop her.

' What is that sound? It sounds like..."

He could feel the woman's presence drawing closer to him and he opened his eyes quickly to see a dagger flying at him. He reached out to grab her arm, but nothing was there. Everything went dark and his breathing stopped completely.
