Chapter 8: Going Home Where We Belong
"Inuyasha, you chose to stay with me, even though there was no guarantee I'd remember you, instead of returning to the loving world, why?" Inuyasha, holding Kagome in his arms, replied. "Even if you never remembered, I wanted to be with you always."
Back on the surface world, Midori appeared to Sango and Miroku. "He reached Kagome, but she didn't remember him. He made the decision to stay with her in that world. He said to tell you he was sorry" Sango's heart broke again, but she was comforted by the fact Kagome wasn't alone. And she still felt sorry that she never got to apologize to Inuyasha. Miroku meanwhile felt like he had lost more than a best friend, he had last a brother. But he too was comforted by the fact that neither was alone." Sango turned to Miroku and went into his arms crying over her lost friends, and wanting to be comforted. Miroku gladly held her, "Don't worry, we'll make Kikyo and Naruku pay." , he told her.
Midori, seeing their pain grabbed her sister Amori and they proceeded to return to the palace in the dead world. They soon reached Lord Ryonosuke, and begged him to let Kagome and Inuyasha return to the world of the living. "Please my lord, let them go home. They don't deserve this!!!! They should be with the living with their friends.", Midori cried. Amori sobbed, "Please!!!! He's your sister's son, they're the only ones who can stop Keitaro!!!! He's your nephew, do her this one act, you know she would want him to be happy, just as she was happy with Inuyasha's father." Ryonosuke replied, "I already gave him the chance, and he couldn't bring her back in time, I can do no more. No matter how much I want to." Inuyasha's mother suddenly appeared, "Please my brother, let them go. For me, so I can move on, knowing someone is there to love him." Seeing his sister and hearing her final plea. He traveled to where Kagome and Inuyasha were. "I'm opening this gate one last time, go before I change my mind." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and ran to the exit. He looked back at Lord Ryonosuke and asked, "Why?" Ryonosuke in those final moments replied, "It's what your mother asked me to do." Before Inuyasha had a chance to reply, he was sucked through.
Miroku was holding Sango when he saw the light engulf the two bodies. Sango turned around, immediately ready to defend the bodies. As the two of them ran toward the bodies they saw Inuyasha sit up and put Kagome's head in his lap, and then they saw Kagome open her eyes and smile at Inuyasha. Kagome and Inuyasha embraced once more, and turned to look at Sango and Miroku. "Sango!!!", Kagome cried, and ran to her friend and hugged her. Sango was so overcome with joy and emotion she couldn't speak. Kagome whispered in her ear, "The spilt second before we went back into our bodies, we saw you and Miroku holding each other. Fill me in later ok!!!" Sango looked at her friend and blushed then smiled.
Inuyasha was describing to Miroku all that had happened and told Miroku how the demon lord Ryonosuke had mentioned his mother wanted him to be alive and with Kagome. Miroku shook his head and said out loud, "There must be more to this story than we know, and I get the feeling we're going to find out the truth soon. "Hey you two!!!! Let's go home!!!! Where we belong!!!!", Kagome yelled to them. Inuyasha ran up and grabbed Kagome in his arms, planting a loving kiss on her lips. "Let's go." Kagome got on his back and they proceeded to go home. Sango called Kiara and sat in front of Miroku and followed Inuyasha and Kagome. Off in the shadows, was a furious Kikyo. "He brought her back from hell, the pitiful copy. I'll send them both to hell, and their precious friends!!!" "I'll help", came a cold, evil voice from the shadows behind her.
