Author's Note:: This is my first Inuyasha fic. I don't know but this idea came up to me and a friend. So, I decided to post it, instead of letting it just lie on my bed all of the time.

Full Summary:: Well really, the battle with Naraku ends, and Inuyasha and Kagome send away their only child. She grew up without them, but meets up with them when she saves a friend from danger. The Shikon Jewel gets separated from her, so she has to protect it once again, since Naraku broke out of hell.

Disclaimer:: I have yet to own Inuyasha ::sighs:: ah well, on with the story!

"Kagome!" Inuyasha's voice rang threw everyone's ears, as she let loose the last arrow of the battle. The arrow glowed with a pink and purple aura, as it flew gracefully threw the air. The air that had swirled around all of them had been pierced silently, as the arrow raced towards its target. Kagome watched as her sacred arrow pierced the heart of Naraku, and all had subsided, leaving a bloody battlefield.

The final battle with Naraku had finally ended, his heart shattered to pieces the instant Kagome's arrow hit it. Blood was everywhere, on the hills, on the trees, and on the victims of the battle.

Sango's Hiraikotsu was in half, and, yeah, that wasn't good. Her hands were scratched, as if someone was nailing at them. Her hair flowed reluctantly behind her, as she looked up towards the now dark sky. She sighed, but smiled, as she looked toward a small shocked demon.

Shippo couldn't help much in the battle, but of course, without him, they would have lost. As soon as Kagome's arrow had shot, Shippo had distracted the shape shifting demon. He had blood smeared across his face, along with shock, and many other emotions.

Miroku was exhausted beyond his dreams, his wind tunnel and staff proved to be useful to him. He was badly wounded, but would live. And for the time being he just wanted to sleep. His hair was messy, pulled from its usual position, and stuck to his face from sweat.

Inuyasha was the most wounded, deep cuts within his side looked painful, as blood was on his finger tips. He cursed under his breath, the atmosphere too dense for anyone to hear. He got up slowly, reached for the Tetsusaiga and pulled it within its sheath. He glanced a quick look at Kagome, who was now about to fall on her knees.

And as if on cue, she did. Inuyasha walked to her side to help steady her, but she just pushed him away. She was wounded a lot, but not as much as to kill her. But her life wasn't focused on that right now. She looked over. Kanna had been killed by Naraku, while getting in a way of his attack that was sure to kill them all. Kagura, who was almost dead by now, sat on her knees and tried to steady her breathing.

She looked more to her right. Kouga was standing there panting; he looked almost as wounded as Inuyasha himself. The Jewel was almost complete, just the two in his legs and it would be finished. Kagome seemed happy, but as sad, to see that now she had to leave. Her destiny had been fulfilled, and she knew if she stayed here, it would only cause more tragedy in the future.

But right now her mind was focused on the Jewel. They had worked so hard, for two years, to obtain the Jewel. Now it lay within her very palms. She looked up at Inuyasha as he was still at her side. She held her arms out towards him, and pulled him into a strong embrace. The only sound that could be heard throughout the field was Kagome's faded sob's, as she cried into Inuyasha's chest. He picked her up and held her, not wanting her to walk on her legs.

He'd figured Kagome would be out for a couple of days, she had used an enormous amount of her energy, even if it was just on one arrow.

Kikyou had fled from the battle field after giving Kagome another quiver of arrows. Kagome's had run out of arrows shortly before Kikyou came.

Everyone had been grateful at the time for Kikyou's help, and glad that she hadn't ended up turning her back on them.

Inuyasha walked over towards Kouga, and then looked down upon him as he reached his destination. He let Kagome down, and helped steady her stance.

Kouga knew what they wanted, and without hesitation, handed the two shards to Kagome, who put them together in her hands. Sango and Miroku rode up to see the event of Kirara; Shippo was on Sango's shoulders. Sango got off softly, not wanting to hurt her pet cat. She was about to fall, but Miroku caught her, and succeeded helping her off. He almost getting another whack on the head, but he resisted the temptation for now.

Kagome sat down and put the Jewel on the dirt. Inuyasha kneeled down next to her, with Miroku, then Sango, Shippo, and Kouga, all in that order. And, yeah, Inuyasha hated having him next to Kagome, but now wasn't the best time for that either.

She put the Jewel in her hands and stared down at the two final pieces. Her hands were about to give up on her, until she felt two hands sneak from behind her back to steady hers. And together, they joined the Jewel. Inuyasha helped protect Kagome from the light, as she fell backwards onto his chest, but soft enough not to hurt him.

The pink and purple aura surrounded them, the light was magnificent. Miroku and Sango shielded their eyes with their hands, Shippo ran behind Sango, and Kouga simply looked away.

Now with Kagome in Inuyasha's lap and his hands on hers, they opened them up, to see the full, complete, beautiful, hell they saw the Jewel full and purified right then and there.

Inuyasha's face came up right behind hers, and he said softly into her ear, "Make a wish."

He had made it sound that as if she was throwing a coin into a well that deepened with water, her father talking to her right behind him. She looked up at the purified Jewel, and then looked back at Inuyasha. "But don't you want to be a full demon?"

"If I did that, I would probably be the next Naraku for you guys." She laughed at his comment, but then looked back at the Jewel, deep in thought. When she had finally knew what she thought was best she wished to the Jewel.

Kagome concentrated hard on the Jewel, deep in thought. She wasn't exactly sure of what she wanted to wish for, but decided quickly and made her wish.

Sango looked up at Kagome, and she saw what seemed to be happiness, and so much more that she needn't reveal just yet.

"And Sango, you can find Kohaku back where Naraku's castle used to be." Kagome hadn't even looked away after she had finished her statement, but soon after minutes, what seemed like eternities, had passed she looked up.

"It's finally over."

The Jewel shined and flew into the air, placing itself inside Kagome's stomach, even though it wasn't for Kagome.

:: One Year Later ::

Kagome had become an even more powerful priestess. Her aiming was now even more precise, and she was getting better everyday. Her power was now only surpassed by her beauty. She only came at night times though, she had wanted to finish school and get it over with. Inuyasha was fine with it, but demanded that she still come at weekends and stay away from that Hobo guy.

Kagome now had a little child, who was almost 4 months old now. Kagome had probably only been a month pregnant when the final battle with Naraku ended. It surprised everyone that the child had lived, even though none of them knew until about two months after the battle had ended. The Shikon was now under the child's protection. Kagome felt it was only right to name the child after the Jewel itself.

She knew that she couldn't keep Jewel, there was just too much going on with her life, and she didn't want her baby to live in the past and present, so she had decided to leave her with her mother.

When her mother told her she couldn't, she knew she only had to leave her on her friend's doorstep, knowing she wouldn't leave the baby there.

The baby had black hair that spiked the top of its head, along with hints of silver. She also had dark golden eyes, with hints of amber, and violet. It was a beautiful color, and she looked as the cutest baby you could have seen.

Inuyasha had been on the edge lately, and Kagome thought it wasn't the best idea to tell him now; he would probably already be in a bad mood. Kagome and Kaede spent most of the days mixing herbs and tending to people's wounds.

They recently had fought a demon that had snuck up on the village. It was a pretty strong demon, and the gang had suffered pretty deep wounds. Kagome had revived to her normal self in about a day, but it was taking the others longer than she had expected.

When Kagome went in to check on Inuyasha, he was gone, and this worried her, since he was still too weak to keep himself up for long. Inuyasha had run off after a couple hours of resting. He walked over to the Goshinbuku tree, and leaped up about six or seven branches into the air.

He heard a rustle of leaves behind him, but relaxed when he sniffed in her scent.

"Inuyasha! You're still hurt. You should rest." She sat down to the side of the tree so that Inuyasha could see her completely. He saw her eyes full of emotion, sadness, concern, and some other things he couldn't decipher.

"I'm fine Kagome." She relaxed into the tree more, and sighed heavily.

"Kagome, what's been up with you lately? You just aren't your self anymore." Inuyasha jumped down from the tree to sit next to Kagome, and let her rest her head on his chest as he pulled her into a comforting embrace.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little worried about Jewel. I get the feeling that she's going to be sick or something. I don't know, maybe I over exaggerate myself sometimes."

"Kagome.." She looked up at him as he finished his sentence, "Whose the father?"

His sudden question scared her, but she knew she had to tell him now, or never. She looked up into his eyes longingly, as if pleading for something from him. Tears started brimming her eyes, but she knew she couldn't cry now. As she swallowed back her tears, she looked away from him and said, "That confused me at first too. I didn't really think I'd be having a kid anytime soon. But just looking at her you could tell who the father was. I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure it's you."

His eyes seemed to fill with happiness and content. They just stayed like that for a long time, only wanting one another's company. Kagome finally spoke up, breaking the soft silence between them.

"Do you want to go say goodbye to your little Jewel?"

"Goodbye?"

"You didn't expect her to stay here, did you?"

"Why are you giving her up so easily?"

"It's for the better Inuyasha. There aren't any demons in my time, so the Shikon would be better protected there."

Gathering her up in his arms, he carried her off towards Kaede's hut.

Within minutes he made it there, but Kagome had fallen asleep in his arms. It was getting dark quickly, as the moon shone its brilliant colors down on the little family that slept within the hut.

Inuyasha went over to Jewel's little bed and simply kissed her forehead, making her flinch a bit, but falling back within her dream state.

It was a full moon tonight, exactly like the opposite of when he turned human. He glanced down at the little child that lay down on the bed. A strong pulse went through her veins, but Inuyasha knew it was best to ignore it.

He picked up Kagome again and sat down on the bed with her in his arms. He seemed to be teary eyed, but nothing escaped his eyes as he too fell within the dreams of the night.

The little girl pulsed again, as she seemed to have an overwhelming power in her. She fought it back with the help of the Shikon Jewel that rested in her heart. She ignored it and tried to fall asleep again.

:: Some 16 years later ::

A young girl of about 17 sat bored at her desk, waiting for the last bell to ring. She closed her eyes, trying to rid of the teacher's voice, but to no avail. She sighed heavily, looking down at her paper. Once again, she got lost in her thoughts.

Her friend had tried to keep her attention, by hitting her simultaneously with a book, but Jewel had grown used to it by now. Her friend sighed and went back to her Biology book. Eck.

Dissecting frogs didn't just sound like some thing that would make her want to pay attention, and actually do it for once. Well, she wasn't the brightest, but she knew when something was just plain sick.

So she shouted her famous line that she was known for, "SICK SICK SICK!" Sure she said it in a playful way, but the teacher didn't seem to think so.

"JEWEL!"

Jewel snapped out of her thoughts to see the teacher's red face. She put her hand behind her head laughing nervously. 5 more seconds. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

The last bell sounded off in the hallway, and Jewel was out of the door in a second. She bustled through almost anything in her path. This girl was on a mission. And it just simply made her friends laugh at her as she busted through the school's front doors.

Racing home, hoping to avoid more embarrassment on her 1st week of school, she got home in a mere matter of minutes, even though it was about a 25 minute walk, for an average human that is. She got home and landed on her bed, glancing in her mirror that lay oh-so-innocently in her corner.

She had long black hair, smooth and straight, with a streak of silver on her front left side. It was odd, but she just told everyone she dyed it. She had had bangs when she was younger, but she just let it all grow out for one straight line. The thing about her that was the weirdest was her eyes. Big, golden hues that held her innocence but carelessness in them.

True, she was weird looking, but she liked it like that. The only thing she hated was the full moon. Every time she'd look at it, she felt a strange pulse surface in her veins. Her nails would grow long, fangs would somehow submerge, and the weirdest of all, she got dog ears. And for God's sake, she wasn't a dog!

She was told by her mom, that she looked so much like her true mother, and had qualities of her father. It made her feel better, even though sometimes she knew she never would meet them. Well at least that's what she thought.

Jewel was smart in everyway. She didn't have to go to school, only if she had a stupid test or something. But she always went for the first week, homecoming week, prom week, major testing week, and the last week. Sometimes she'd go just for the fun of it, since now she did have fun because she didn't have to take math in her senior year. Thank the heavens. She had already started doing high school work when she was in 8th grade, so that helping a bit, since it was her worst subject.

Her friends wouldn't be surprised if she didn't come in one day, she usually missed around 90 days a year. People envied her, but she was adopted by the biggest business around. So sometimes that gave her a chance to meet people. Jewel wasn't stuck up, but many people thought she was. So she stuck with a few choice friends.

She'd laid down in her room, avoiding homework and chores. It was Friday, so she didn't have too much to worry about. But she was tired and needed a nap, so she nodded off to sleep, but not before setting her alarm clock for the time she'd meet up with a couple friends.

Okay, so I didn't explain it but I just wanted the point to get across. I think I'll go think of the rest of this story, and another one I have to do.

January 12th. I just redid this chapter, since I think it sucked badly. Still, it sucks. But I think it's better than it was the first time. I'll probably end up redoing it again later, but for now it's fine with me.
