A/N: I apologize for greatly neglecting this story, please forgive me. But, keep in mind since I last updated I have grown extremely as a writer and have improved greatly. I just needed some R&R, ya'know?

Side-note: and please don't lecture me on my absence. Just be happy and review cause I am updating, and reviews do help boost the speed on my updating…

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.

Inspiration: I am a big fan of Christina Aguilera, even though I HATE pop music. It was "Genie In A bottle", angst remix. It was so cool, it sounded totally different. It was sort of rockish, but I don't like rock either.

Summery: I'll be evil and not tell you,

Bloody Roses

Epilogue: releasing the hold on your heart

As the young miko awoke, the memories of her dream infested her consciousness. Her head resting on her love's strong, muscular torso. His steady breathing patterns soothing her anxiety, but not enough to cease her anxious movements. "Sesshomaru warned me to leave, he said it was the only way to protect my child." Her mind raced,

So much to believe in - We were lost in time

Everything I needed

I feel in your eyes

Always tought of keepin-

Your heart next to mine

But now that seems so far away

Don't know how love could leave

Without a trace

Where do silent hearts go?

She couldn't does this to her child, that had yet to thrive in this cruel world. End it's life before it even begins. "I sure you'd want this too, Inu." The sable haired young girl whispered, gently stroking his long sliver tresses, slowly brushing her soft lips against the hanyou's heated cheek.

She felt the tears sting painfully in her mahogany orbs glistening with sadness. "I will return someday, when this child is grown, and its safe to come out of hiding. I won't let you die, protecting us." She whispered again, her tone sounded weary.

Sooner then she had known, her legs had carried her away from the village, and into the deep, vegetated forests that were know as her lover's domain. The sounds of her shoes crunching against the brittle grass strands was a sound she'd never forget.

It was the last she's heard from the feudal era. The final fragments of precious vibration of sound she'd hear in 'kami' knows how long. This is the best thing I can do for my child, maybe Inuyasha will forgive me one day…

"I'm almost at the well…" I thought to myself, I kept pushing forward, clenching the jewel shards we all as a group had collected from our adventure. I squeezed the chunk of glowing shards tightly in my fist, almost to the point of pain.

I climbed through the untamed terrain, and finally the well was within my sights. My legs nearly gave way to my weakness of the heart. Stumbling over a loose patch of dirt, and landing on my bare knees and scraping up my palms.

"This is the right decision…I know it is," truly inside my heart. I had the most motherly of intentions to protect my offspring, even at the cost of heartache.

I brushed my inner feelings aside, when I felt a strong and very intentional knock, from within. I sat up on my knees, and smoothed my hands over my swollen, yet still under developed stomach. My child was already stubborn, I felt a smile smirk cross my lips.

I stood again and walked steadily towards the deep well, until I was sitting on the rim, ready to dive within it's deep caverns. With one last look back, and taking a deep inhale of the aroma of the forest, I slipped down into the darkness.

Crossing into the heavenly light that allowed me to cross into my natural timeframe. No more going back, only forward, never look back…cause that is no longer apart of "our" future,

Where does my heart beat now

Where is the sound

That only echoes through the night

Where does my heart beat now

I can't live without

Without feeling it inside

Where do all the lonely hearts go

Candle in the water - Drifting helplessly

Hiding from the thunder-

Come and rescue me

Driven by hunger –

Of the endless dream


I'd support myself, and take care of us anyway I can. Even if it means a few sacrifices, I am willing. What sort of mother would I be if I weren't? Certainly not a good one, and when that day comes…

And you wonder about your father, and why everyone else has one except you…I tell you honestly, I won't lie and keep you away from him, but not until it is safe to make an appearance. It might mean a few years of lying low,

And when you're grown and wonder about things, or if you get sad. I always keep you close, I'll hold you when you're afraid…I'll sing to you when you're sad…I'll hug you when you're happy, and when your angry…I'll be there, to take the blame…

I'm searching for the hand that I can hold

I'm reaching for the arms that let me know

Where do silent hearts go?

Where does my heart beat now

Where is the sound

That only echoes through the night

Where does my heart beat now

I can't live without

Without feeling it inside

Where do all the lonely hearts go

Where do all the lonely hearts go

I'll never be gone entirely Inuyasha, my sprit will linger there with you. Cause I want to be there, so don't be lonely, don't feel sad. I be back to love you, soon enough. Just wait for me Aikouka…

Don't be mad, It's for your survival I did this, just know I love you…Aishiteru, Matsu Shijuu…Inuyasha,

A/N: sorry this is the end of The Bloody Roses fanfic. I appreciate all the love and support, and since you guys have been such great sports about the how "long time updating thingy" I might do a sequel where Kagome keeps her promise and goes back with her son Kyo Higurashi. But only if you really want me to
