Afterword:

Okay, I just wanted to thank everyone who's reviewed, and to let you know that this story is over now. However, I have written two other Inuyasha fics, if you look on my bio: one of them is huge, and I'm nearing the end of it... finally!

I wrote the alternate ending as a way of letting the reviewers choose which way they wanted to end it. Honestly, I can't make up my mind which ending I like better. But, I'm sure most Inu/Kag fans like the second more.

I want to thank Sake-is-Yummy for pointing out that my original ending is much more true for WWII; that is why I made it the original ending, because that is what happened almost all the time in the early 1940's. Men died and left wives with sons and daughters who didn't always get to meet them.

This story is in memory of that war, as well as its predecessor, and is my way of remembering and honouring.

"For we will always remember, lest we forget ourselves."
