Three years later

Leaving the Feudal Era that last time was probably the hardest thing Kagome had ever done. She had regretted it many times, wishing things had been different, wishing she'd had the strength to confront Inuyasha about what he had done. Or at least had the courage to say goodbye to all of her friends. It was especially since Kagome had no idea if her friends had ever even defeated Naraku. As far as Kagome could tell, all of her friends could be dead.

She couldn't stand to think of all her friends dead, especially since if they were, it was likely her fault for not being there to help them. Kagome knew she wasn't the best fighter, but she also knew that her bows could have critically injured Naraku. If she were to find out they were all dead because of her cowardice, she would never be able to forgive herself. But then, either way, she knew that one was dead, that Inuyasha was dead since he had gone to Hell with Kikyo.

It seemed though, that she'd finally managed to get her life together once again. She hadn't done very well in school, though she did manage to graduate, barely. Safe to say, she never managed to get into a college. Instead, she'd had to go to work as soon as she was able, so she played to her strengths. She taught archery.

Yes, it seemed that was one of the few good things about the time she had spent in the Feudal Era. Kagome worked at a fancy get away resort during the summer, private schools during the school year, and did odd jobs when she needed the cash. It worked out well enough, and she actually did enjoy her job, even if she somewhat missed purifying her arrows before shooting them.

Kagome sighed as she fixed dinner. Her brother was a picky eater, as was her grandfather.

Yes, she was still living at home.

"Mommy, I hungry!"

Kagome smiled as she looked down at her little girl. "I know, but dinner is almost ready, so wait just a little bit longer, okay?"

"Otay!" The little girl then proceeded to run away, in search of a way to amuse herself until meal time.

The little girl was the light of Kagome's life, with her silver hair, fluffy ears, and golden eyes, she was a constant reminder of what had been. There seemed to be no end to how many ways her little girl could remind her of Inuyasha, of the little girl's daddy.

Every time Kagome looked at her little girl, she saw Inuyasha. The young girl was practically a replica of her father. She also had his stubborn attitude, his lack of tact, and his absolute love for Ramen. Kagome loved each of these aspects, (though her daughters stubbornness she could sometimes do without), there was one major factor to the girls demon side Kagome feared.

Last month, a man had tried to take Kagome's purse, and had threatened her with a gun, and when she refused, the man had hit her with the barrel of the gun, to show her just how serious he was. He had managed to knock her down, and then threatened to hurt her little girl as well. It was then Kagome had become frightened, when her two year old's demon blood took over, and she attacked the man that posed such a threat.

The mugger no longer lived, and to get her child back to normal, Kagome had had to make something from some herbs at the shrine to lull her asleep. Kagome still had scratch marks all over her, verily deep ones that would likely scar. So Kagome realized, was that her daughter needed a way to keep her demon blood under control, just as Inuyasha had had the Tetseiga to do the same for him. Unfortunately, that meant she would have to go to the Feudal Era to find Totosei to make her something. That wouldn't be so bad, depending on certain factors. The fact was, she didn't want to have to see any of her old friends, and she prayed she wouldn't run into them while she was there. Another reason being that if Naraku was still alive, there was no telling how bad things could be.

Either way, Kagome would have to go, she just had to get something that would help her little girl.

When Kagome had first found out about her little miracle, she really hadn't been all that happy. She had cried for day's damning Inuyasha and shouting sit, hoping the subduing spell could work despite being in different times. During that time, Kagome had been ill, weak, and miserable. Carrying a demon baby hadn't been easy on her, or her family and friends.

Her school friends had been able to figure out it was Inuyasha's baby. Or rather, 'That good for nothing puck' that they'd told her to get a way from sooner, but she had not done soon enough. Even Hojo knew about what had happened, and though he was still in the dark about Inuyasha, Hoko would still come by, always with a gift for Kagome's special girl. Which, Kagome was grateful for, her daughter needed someone to see as something of a father, and Hojo was as close to the real thing she got.

Except when she would look at the pictures Kagome had managed to take of Inuyasha. He always said she was nuts when she explained how her little black box (camera) could make such colorful and accurate pictures.

Luckily for Kagome, she couldn't remember most of the day her baby had been born, she'd passed out and didn't wake until just a little bit before delivery time. Then, when she got to hold that baby in her arms, she had practically forgotten all the pain and suffering she had gone through since leaving the Feudal Era.

Aiko Ginakin Higurashi.

Aiko had become Kagome's life, there was nothing more important to her than her daughter. That was why she'd used all her vacation time, why she would spend the next month making this happen. Getting a way to keep her baby safe.

Kagome could see her out the kitchen window now, playing outside. She loved playing outside, climbing trees…figures. Though, as much like Inuyasha as Aiko was, there was something the little girl had now that Inuyasha had never had, and Kagome was grateful she could give her daughter, innocence.

It was true that Aiko wasn't allowed to let anyone know of her demon ancestry, people would reject and mock her. So, all Kagome had her do was wear a hat to hide her ears with. True, the silver hair was unusual, but Kagome would just tell people she had died it. Aiko was living a normal little girls life, and Kagome intended to keep it as normal as she possibly could.

Kagome walked nervously toward the well, clutching the jewel shard that was on a necklace in her hand. She REALLY didn't want to do this. She had to stay strong though, so she kept moving. After all, it wasn't as though she was going to see Inuyasha, he was dead. He was with Kikyo in Hell, and therefore impossible to meet up with in the Feudal Era.

So, she jumped into the well, and was surrounded by that all too familiar blue light. Then, she was there, she had traveled through time once again. Not it would do much good, if she didn't get out of the well. She sighed, she'd always hated this part. She started climbing, struggling greatly to climb up the inside of the well. When she reached the top, she fell over the side, and nearly screamed when she realized had not landed on the ground. Instead, she had landed on… INUYASHA?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

After Inuyasha had realized what Kagome had done, he's gone back to well, and jumped in it. He had prayed his entire way there that he would still be able to pass through the well.

It didn't work.

No matter how many times he tried.

Still, he had refused to leave the well for many weeks afterward.

The others had asked him why Kagome had left. What stupid thing he'd done that had chased her away. He always yelled at them that it wasn't his fault. She was just bein' stupid and selfish and had decided to ditch them. Yet, as many times as he told that to his companions, and himself, he knew the reason. 'I had loved her.' He had chased her away with his love, for what other reason had he given her to leave?

After more than six weeks of refusing to leave the well, Inuyasha had decided it was time to go face Naraku. The others were reluctant, feeling Kagome still may come back, but Inuyasha knew by then that she wasn't. So they had set off to go to Naraku's castle, a two week journey from the village. This journey was a long one, but not because of the distance, or the time it took to travel it.

Nobody seemed to deem him fit to talk with, and Shippo had decided he wasn't worth acknowledging either. The Kitsune didn't know what had happened, but he was entirely convinced that whatever it was, it was all Inuyasha's fault.

The fight with Naraku was a long and hard one, that everyone just barely got out of. It wasn't something he cared to remember, especially since he couldn't. Tetseiga had been broken, and his demon blood awakened. Inuyasha simply couldn't remember the fight, but he knew that when it was over, he had passed out, and stayed that way for days.

Once Naraku was gone, Inuyasha left. He went out on his own. Things went back to the way they used to be, really used to be. He was alone, and it was what he expected. He would go to that village where Miroku and Sango had made a home, and given one to Shippo as well.

His visits were short, and he would spend most time, while in that area, at the bone eater's well. That was where slept while he came to visit, since it was as close to Kagome as he could ever be now.

This was one such night, he lay to sleep, holding the repaired Tetseiga, and thinking of her.

Inuyasha woke with a start, something had LANDED on him. He opened his eyes, and he saw her, in his lap… 'Kagome…'

Well, are you all gathering your guns and hounds, ready to find and kill me for this chapter? I hope not… I just had to do what I did though, I don't know why, I just did! But let me know just what you think!
