Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters.
Warning: the future Inuyasha is going to be quite different than the past one.
Summary: I'm not sure how the show ends, so forgive me, but what if Inuyasha decided not to be human or demon and to make Kagome go back to her time, not wanting her to give up her future in her time (other reasons why, later in the fic). What if Inuyasha lived through the years up to just after his feudal self forced Kagome back to her time and he met Kagome again? If you do not like it please be gentle, I'm new at this :).
Inuyasha leaned back and sipped his drink, watching the drunk man on the stage sing horribly off-key. He hated to come to this place but Songo owned it and it was one of the only places he felt any sort of semi-comfortable in. He looked over to the bar and saw Songo wincing as the man droned on. She looked just like her namesake and Inuyasha felt a pang in his heart, missing his old friends. He had lived through it all, watched as the demons disappeared from the world, all but him, and he was not even a full demon, the humans over-running the place. He stood and waved to Songo who nodded to him.
"Are you coming over for dinner Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Five o'clock right?" he asked and Songo grinned at him and he nodded exiting the building. He hung his head low; the old spell hiding his true form including his dog-ears and hid them well. He sighed, looking around at Tokyo, once Sengoku Jidai, his and the original Songo's home. He sighed heavily at the thought of her; he missed her and Miroku horribly some days, though he was very close to their decedents. He had Miroku's cloth and beads that had been on his hand to stop the wind tunnel in a small box in his closet right next to a small jewel that had made so many problems so many years ago. Next to that box, a giant boomerang stood wrapped in silk, Songo's weapon, having taken them into his care when the owners of both had passed on. Next to the tall boomerang, a bow sat with a quiver of arrows next to it, the woman he loved had used them once, but she was also gone. He sighed again and shoved his hands into his pockets, he still had not gotten used to these clothes, he wished he could go back to what he used to wear, but that was also in his closet, along with Tetsiega, also wrapped in silk unless he needed it again. He looked up to see the sun close to setting and knew that it was close to the time he was supposed to get to Songo's and called a cab, something else he missed, being able to transport himself, it was a lot faster than a car. He sighed and climbed in, gave the driver the address and sat back and his mind went back to that time so long ago.
Naraku was dead, finally, the Shiko no Tama was whole, and Inuyasha held the jewel in his hand, aware of five sets of eyes on him. It was his dream, he could become a full demon, it was what he wanted, more than anything. He lifted his head up and met the eyes of one of those people seeing the fear, and the hurt in her eyes and Inuyasha made the hard decision, he locked eyes with Kagome, tossed her the jewel, turned, and ran through the forest. Kagome had somehow found him that night, sitting high in the tree and begged him to come down. When he finally consented, Kagome had thrown her arms around him and had thanked him. She had lifted her face to him and he found himself kissing her. They spent the night together and in the early morning as he lay watching her he made a decision, the second hardest one he had ever made.
The cab stopped in front of Songo's house, Inuyasha paid and stepped out. He walked quickly to the door and knocked. Songo's five-year-old daughter Aiko opened the door and grinned up at him.
Please R&R, thank you.
