Sorry for the...three year...delay.
I suck, and I apologize for those who enjoyed it and were left hanging. I hope I can still write with the skill that will give you the same level of enjoyment
And since word pad doesn't seem to like it when I use the normal seperation markers, I'll be keeping the notes seperate via:

The scene at the well was deceptive. The sky was blue and white butterflies slowly danced across the clearing. What it didn't show was the horrible smell of blood that washed across InuYasha's nose and made him instantly sick.
There was only one village close by to supply the quantity of the smell.
Looking at InuYasha as he placed Sango on the ground, Kagome knew something was wrong. Closing her eyes, she reached out and pulled InuYasha against her, pressing Shippo's still warm body against her chest. She rested her head on InuYasha's shoulder.
" We," she said in a small voice, " have another problem don't we?"
Kagome...
InuYasha looked down at her and placed a hand upon her shoulder and pushed her back a little.
" I can't be sure Kagome. I can't be sure but I think we do."
Kagome looked into his eyes.
Oh InuYasha, you look so tired
She reached up and cupped his face, looking into his eyes before turning them down to the small body craddled in her arms.
" I'd like to bury Shippo and Sango before we finish this. They deserve..." her voice caught, " they deserves to rest now."
InuYasha took her hand and led her to the god tree.
" It exists in your time Kagome. That means it survives what's next. I think they'd like to be near something that lasts till your time."
Kagome nodded. Kneeling down together, they started the process of letting their friends go.

Yes, yes, it's not really a chapter. More like taping my toe into bathwater to see if it's still warm. Honestly? I think it is, so I think I'm going to be writing more. But the longer chapters will be in a few days once I get them written out and edited.
