A.N- Well, first off, I am sorry about the wait on this chapter, but I have been so busy, I haven't even been online in the last week. Second, I am sorry about the last chapter. I received what seemed to be a lot of confusion in my reviews. The last was not the final chapter, sorry if I made it sound like it was! Third, I am also sorry to say that this will be the final chapter. My days have been filled with band camp, 4-H, and babysitting for the rest of the summer. By the time I am done, summer vacation shall be too. It really, really sucks. I really wish I could write more for all of you, my wonderful, faithful, beloved reviewers; but I can't. Well, thank you all for reading this, I am debating writing another story once all the chaos is over! Oh, and for a bit of clarity, the group has been together for 2 years in this story, making Kagome 17, just to let people know! Enjoy!

Ch.6

"Stay with me Kagome, don't leave me alone."

Kagome stared at Inuyasha in complete shock. Was this the same Inuyasha she had spent the last 2 years with? The Inuyasha that yelled criticized and degraded her? The same Inuyasha that was so stubborn, he wouldn't admit he was wrong if the correct answer was flashing in bright lights? Kagome looked into his eyes, and saw the raw emotion there, and tears began to fill her own. Yes, it was the same Inuyasha. The same Inuyasha who always protected her from danger. The same Inuyasha that she shared so many hardships with that they had always overcome together. The same Inuyasha who had stolen her heart. As the tears began to roll down her face, Inuyasha's heart plummeted and his eyes clouded. She wasn't going to stay with him. He began to turn around, when Kagome threw her arms around him and held tight. Hope shimmered in his heart again, and he wrapped his arms around her in return. His ears perked up when he heard her begin to speak.

"Inuyasha, you're right. We need each other. There is no way I could leave you, or any of the others. But most of all you, Inuyasha. I always want to be with you. Inuyasha, I..."

Kagome was cut off as Myoga bounced onto Inuyasha's shoulder. "Inuyasha-sama! I was so worried! I was fighting the whole way though..." his words began to slow before stopping completely. He looked at Inuyasha and Kagome's position before getting a sly look in his eyes. Poking Inuyasha in the neck with his elbow, he began to talk again. "Ah, Inuyasha-sama, so you've chosen! Well done! It's about time you took a mate! In fact your father was about your age when he met your mother." Inuyasha and Kagome sprung apart, blushing a deep red. Myoga however was oblivious. He jumped from Inuyasha's shoulder to the tip of Kagome's nose, where he managed to steal a bite before getting squashed. "Kagome-sama, I always liked you! You will make Inuyasha very happy indeed. I will serve you diligently..." He pulled a hanky from his pocket and dabbed at his eyes. "Oh, soon I will have new charges to look after..." Inuyasha and Kagome pulled back at the last statement and bushed even more. Inuyasha then charged forward and grabbed Myoga. The little flea began to squirm at Inuyasha's feral look. Inuyasha brought his old advisor up to his face and glared. "Myoga, when I need your help, I'll ask. Right now, you need to go away before either I or Kagome kills you." With that, Inuyasha flicked the flea into oblivion, Myoga yelling out his apologies as he sped into the sky.

Inuyasha shook his head as he turned around. He saw Kagome sitting with her arms hugging her knees to her chest, resting her chin on them. Her eyes were dark and thoughtful. He went over to her and sat down next to her. They sat in silence for a while before Kagome broke it. "Hey, Inuyasha..." Inuyasha looked over at her. "Was it true what Myoga-jiji said? If I were to stay, would we...uh...mate? And have children?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome startled. He hadn't even thought about that. He knew that he wanted Kagome to stay. He took a minute to think it over. The jewel was complete and back in the safety of Kagome's body, where it was hopefully going to remain. Kikyou was gone, and his debt repaid. All he had left was Kagome and the others. He thought over it some more and then turned back to Kagome.

"Kagome, you and the others are all I have left. The jewel is complete. Kikyou is gone. There is nothing for me to do besides...well, Kagome look at me." Her large chocolate eyes bore into his. "Kagome, I know that were both still young. You want to finish that sk-ool thing you are always complaining about. But, I know I don't want to lose you. Someday, Kagome, I hope that you and I will do the things Myoga talked about, but I will wait until you're ready Kagome."

He could think of nothing more to say, so he remained silent, awaiting Kagome's reply. She looked shocked, peaceful, scared and happy all in one look. She looked away form him for a moment, and when she looked back, there was a look in her eyes that he hadn't seen since his mother passed away, all those years ago. "Inuyasha, I do want to finish school, thank you for that. I too, however, never want to lose you." She scooted closer and leaned on him. "Inuyasha, once I finish my schooling, I will come back to stay with you, forever. And, if you are still interested, someday, we can to the things Myoga talked about. Inuyasha, I have a feeling you already know this, but I'm saying it anyway. I love you, Inuyasha, and I would love to stay with you."

Inuyasha's heart leapt form the final dark recesses that it had been in since the combined results of his mother's death and Kikyou's betrayal. He reached out and grabbed Kagome and Held her to him, tightly. He wanted to jump up and spin her around, but she pulled back. The pair was all smiles. Kagome got up and grabbed her back. Looking over her shoulder, she smiled at Inuyasha. "Lets go, Inuyasha." He got up and followed her to the well. He didn't know why she was going but, right now, he would follow her anywhere. When they reached the well, Kagome dropped her bag and turned toward Inuyasha. Rising up on her toes, she planted a soft kiss on his lips. "We need to go tell Mama. She will be thrilled." She then turned and jumped into the well. Inuyasha smiled softly and followed her. When he hit the bottom however, Kagome wasn't there. He looked up and saw the trees. He was still in the feudal era. Panic hit him hard. He couldn't use the well anymore.

In the future Kagome was making her way up the ladder, wondering what was taking Inuyasha so long. When she reached the top of the well, she climbed down, and crouched at the edge of it. Resting her arms on the lip of the well, she waited for Inuyasha to appear. When 15 minutes had passed, she became worried. Jumping down, she hit the bottom with a thud. She was still in her time. Tears began to cloud her vision. She couldn't go back. And from the looks of it Inuyasha Couldn't come to her either. The well had sealed. Uncontrollable tears poured down her cheeks. She collapsed into a ball and cried until she fell asleep murmuring Inuyasha's name.

3 years later.

Inuyasha sat in his branch of the Goshinboku tree. 3 years had passed since that day. He wondered what she was doing now. There was not a day that went by when that thought didn't cross his mind. Just like there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't go to the well and will Kagome with all his might to come back, to heal his broken heart that shattered more with every passing day. He jumped down form the tree to make his daily trip, unaware he was being watched. Sango, Miroku, Mai, Sango and Miroku's first Daughter, who was 2, and Shippo were all watching him from a distance. Ever since Kagome had been trapped in her time, Inuyasha had been very nearly silent. He rarely even beat up Shippo. There had been many tears shed when they had found Inuyasha sitting by the well, head down and an aura of sorrow surrounding him. They all missed Kagome. Life after her disappearance had somehow lost some of the brightness and sparkle when she left it. She needed to come back, for all their sakes. Especially Inuyasha's.

Inuyasha, who had made it to the well now, looked down into it's dark depths, Unknowing Kagome stood on the other side doing the same thing. Kagome had been miserable for the last three years. She had finished school, but hadn't had the will to move on to college. She still had hope she would someday return to Inuyasha, where she knew she belonged. Like Inuyasha, everyday she went to the well and tried it. Every time it had failed to work, leaving her heartbroken and wondering what Inuyasha was doing now. Was he happier? Did he even miss her? She had even gone to the Goshinboku and tried to communicate with him like she had before, but it hadn't worked. Tears slipped down her face again as she leaned over the well, some dropping to the bottom. She would give anything to return, just to see Inuyasha one more time...

Inuyasha's head was bent over the well, deciding it was time to let Kagome go. She wasn't coming back. he needed to move on, though he knew he couldn't. A single tear, the first shed since the day she had gone, fell from his eye and hit the bottom of the well in a silent goodbye. He wished she would return. Inuyasha wanted Kagome back where she belonged. He turned to leave, grief seeming to weigh down each step.

The tears shed form both Inuyasha and Kagome simultaneously hit the floor of each time periods well. When they met, a purple light began to form, growing in size and intensity. In Kagome's time, the light shot up, illuminating the well house. Kagome gasped and covered her eyes. Hope flickered to life once again in her heart. Without another thought she ran form the door of the well where she was preparing to leave to the opening of the well. She vaulted over the edge and dove in. the old feeling of disorientated floating came back to her, and she laughed in happiness. The well was working again. When he hit the bottom, she kept her eyes closed for several seconds, praying to any god that was listening to grant her wish. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up. She saw tree tops and birds flying. Her heart leapt in joy. It worked. She was back in the feudal era. Climbing the old ladder that was still in place, she climbed over the edge of the well. Hooking her legs over she sat and looked around. Her eyes landed on a red clad figure walking away from her. Emotions slammed into her body. She called out the first thing that came to her mind.

Inuyasha slammed to the ground. Confusion wracked his brain, no one could sit him but Kagome, and she was gone. Jumping up, he whirled around to see a slightly different Kagome running toward him. Shock and joy kept him still for a moment, but he was then running forward and catching Kagome as she jumped towards him. She was laughing, and the sound brought the shattered pieces of his heart back together. His Kagome was back. His face, a mask of pure emotion, looked down into hers. "Kagome, how..." He was cut off as Kagome leaned up and kissed him, with all the feeling that had been pent up for three years. It only took a few second for Inuyasha to respond with as much fervor and emotion as she. When they broke apart, she leaned back and looked into his eyes. Then, climbing out of his arms, she wrapped her arms around him, tears once gain slipping down her face. "Oh, Inuyasha, I missed you so much." Inuyasha could find no word suitable, so he simply held her tight and thanked every god he could think of.

Sango, who was carrying little Mai, burst into the clearing with Miroku and Shippo. Shippo cried out in joy and bounded towards Kagome. Reluctantly stepping out of Inuyasha's arms, she held out her to the kitsune, snuggling him as he leapt into them. Shippo stuck out his tongue at Inuyasha's growl. Kagome released Shippo to embrace a tearful Sango, then turning to hug Miroku as well. She paused as she felt something tug on her sleeve. She looked down to she a little copy of Sango with Miroku's eyes staring up at her. She bent down, smiling at the thought of Miroku and Sango finally together. "Hello, I'm Kagome, what's your name?" the little girl looked up shyly. "Mai..." with that, she turned and ran behind Miroku, who laughed. They all talked for a long while before Inuyasha could stand it no longer. He scooped Kagome up in his arms, announced they were leaving, and sped out of the clearing. Sango and Miroku looked at each other with knowing eyes. With any luck, Mai would have a playmate soon.

Inuyasha took Kagome to the hut the villagers had built him in the woods as a thank you. Setting her down, they simply sated at one another for a long while, slightly awkward. Inuyasha spoke first. "Kagome, I thought I'd lost you..." Kagome nodded and stepped into his arms. "I thought I was never going to see you again. Life became a chore. And now, your back. Kagome, please don't leave me again..." Kagome shook her head vigorously. "I couldn't Inuyasha, not even if I wanted to." They held each other for a long time, then Inuyasha set her a little ways away from him, and bent his head to kiss her. The kiss quickly grew into a heated one, and Inuyasha Backed away, breathing hard. "Kagome, I know we've been apart for a long tome, but my feelings are the same. I need you, and I want a family. I'll wait if you want more time still, but be assured I want to be with you forever still. So, do you need more time?" Kagome's urgent and heated kiss was answer enough for him. He kissed her back, and sucked in his breath when he felt Kagome's tongue slip into his mouth. Kagome hadn't lived in the future mainly her whole life without learning something. Inuyasha's surprise drifted away and he caught on, and it became a battle for dominance. Inuyasha of course won, but only because Kagome let him. Inuyasha's instincts began to kick in, and he laid her on the floor, looking into her eyes, silently asking if she still wanted this. She looked right back into his, and nodded.

"I need you, Inuyasha." Inuyasha sucked in his breath hard at that. He had waited 3 years for this, and he needed her too. Even though he had never done this, he knew exactly what to do to please her. He found a particularly sensitive spot on her neck and he smiled at her gasp. Too emotion ridded to care, he simply ripped the shirt she was wearing from her body, and growled at the scrap of lacy cloth covering what he wanted to see. Ignoring her sputtering protest, he ripped it off too, and his chest rumbled in appreciation of Kagome's breasts. Instinct hit him again, and he leaned down to take one nipple into his mouth, suckling it like a newborn pup. She began to writhe beneath him, small noises coming from the back of her throat. He continued to torture her like that for a long time before traveling further down her body. Kagome whimpered in protest as he left her, but gasped again as she felt his hands guiding her skirt down her legs. When his hand returned it was to the place between her legs. She nearly cried out in pleasure. He touched her as is she were the most precious thing on earth, and with the reverence of a child discovering something amazing. His light touches to the place where she burned for him were making her crazy. She had gone 3 years without even barley touching another man, and all her youthful sexual urges came to the surface. She needed him, as much as he needed her. As he continued to drive her crazy with his light touches and occasional kiss, she struggled to find a voice.

"Inuyasha...please...stop teasing...I... I need more...." Inuyasha growled. He was driving himself crazy as well as Kagome. They had the rest of their lives to be together. Tonight, he needed her. "Kagome..." he murmured her name as he stripped her of her underwear, and shed himself of his clothing as well. Kagome's breath was knocked out of her as she looked at him. he was magnificent. Every inch chiseled. She knew the origin of every scar. She had never seen his body like this before, but some how she knew it. Inuyasha lowered him self to her and kissed her again. He pulled back and held her face between his hands. "Kagome, are you ready, there's no turning back now." Kagome nodded and he kissed her softly. Kagome kissed him back until she felt him penetrate her. Her mouth fell open and she gasped. Where was the pain she has heard so much about? All she felt was mind blowing pleasure with Inuyasha. Inuyasha moved and she cried out. He went completely still. "Kagome, are you ok?" She nodded, unable to find words.

Inuyasha was starting to lose control. His youkai instincts were kicking in and he let them swamp him, unable to do other wards. He has waited so long for this, and she felt so good. He grasped her hips with a growl, moving them to match his increasingly faster strokes. The moans and whimpers Kagome was emitting did nothing to calm him as he went faster, bringing them both closer to something neither of them knew, but both desperately needed. "Never leave me Kagome..." he growled as he felt a pressure building inside him. Kagome, who was starting to feel that same pressure inside of her shook her head and gasped out, never. She then felt a tingling where her body met Inuyasha's and that tingle spread throughout her body, causing a shudder to wrack her body. Heat began to pump through her, and she cried out. The feelings mounted until she thought she would die, and then she shattered, calling out Inuyasha's name. Inuyasha had lost whatever control he had left, and he felt the pressure build in him as well. Suddenly, he gave one last pound into her, and he felt himself empty his seed inside of Kagome. He called out her name as he did so, claiming her as his for all time.

After several minutes, He turned to Kagome and whispered in her ear. "I never got to tell you before you left. I love you too Kagome."

Kagome smiled and she turned to hug him. they fell asleep like that, souls forever entwined, never to be apart again.

9 Months later.

Inuyasha Paced outside of Keade's hut as he had done so long ago. Miroku and Shippo watched him as he grumbled about stupid women and their stupid antics. Kagome screamed from inside again and his head shot up. He burst towards the door, but Miroku was already blocking it. "Inuyasha, You cant go in. Sango threatened to never have another child with me if I let you in..." Miroku winced as he recalled that conversation. Kagome was in labor, and men weren't allowed in the birthing room until it was over. Inuyasha growled at his friend. "I should kill you. I could kill you, you know that?" he gave Miroku what would have been a terrifying look if the monk didn't know him so well. Miroku moved away from the door. "Alright, Inuyasha. Go. See if I care. It's the curse on your child you're risking anyway." Inuyasha looked to the door and Growled in frustration. Then he came and plunked himself down next to Miroku with a 'keh'. "Oi, Miroku. How'd you get through it." Miroku smiled. "I dented a lot of trees." Inuyasha smirked. This was killing him, Kagome was in pain and for once, he could do nothing. Kagome gave one more heart wrenching scream before everything was silent. He scrambled to the door. He put his ear next to it, trying desperately to hear something. The door was then suddenly pulled open. "Gyaa!" Inuyasha fell, and sprawled on the floor. Sango nudged him with her toe. He glanced up at her scowling. "Wench." She ginned at him and pointed into the hut. Kagome was leaning against the wall, holding a tiny squirming bundle. His mouth fell open and he slowly went forward, his face lighting up in awe as he reached Kagome and his newborn child. Kagome looked at him with a soft smile. "It's a girl." The little child opened its eyes and looked at Inuyasha with the same piecing golden eyes. She had her mother's dark raven wing hair, and her tiny little pointed ears were tipped in silver. She yawned, revealing tiny little fangs. Inuyasha stuck out his finger and his new daughter grasped it with more strength than a normal new born has. "She takes after her father, I think." Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smiled softly. As he kissed her softly and looked at his new pup again, he realized he was never going to be alone again. Life was wonderful.
