Marla was now left alone, but nobody to blame but herself. Kagome and Inuyasha smiled in delight as they began walking a long straight road, at the edge of an highway hearing trucks flying down and cars flying by watching the orange colored sand get thrown into the air. Inuyasha smiled at the money, counting it and glancing at Kagome who's legs were becoming tired.


" Kagome, you got your wish."

Kagome blinked feeling the back of her mouth dry, and her legs killing as he bent down and threw her onto his back, as she felt the heat wave get even worse.

Kagome panted and looked at him from the side, with a smile.

" What do you mean?"

" Well, were gonna get our own apartment and live together just you and I. Maybe not your town, but one day we'll get there. But for now, we'll find an apartment and this, will just be a horrible memory nothing more."

Kagome's legs dangled, as he bumped her up, holding her securely, as her arms wrapped around his neck making sure she wouldn't fall. She felt her skirt dance in the wind as she beamed at him, realizing this idea of his, this dream might actually come true.

" You sure?"

Inuyasha glanced back at her with a tainted smile, almost knowing for sure they were going to be alright for there on out.

" I promise Kagome. Once we find a bus around here, then we'll go and live our lives from here on out like were suppose to be."

Kagome rested her head on his shoulders, closing her eyes when she felt the sun's ray blinding her. It had been pure silence as more trucks rolled by, to practically nothing. He smiled knowing he saw a small sign for buses there, the only ones that would be near a highway. He felt Kagome barely holding on, and hearing her heavily breathing seeing her eyes were sealed shut.

" Were gonna make it. Finally were free from her, and the orphanage. All it is now is a memory. Were not going to leave each other behind. As impossible as it seemed we made it through. After all the tears, the sufferings, everything. Finally we'll have a brand new life, together."


Inuyasha waited still managing to hold on to the bags, while having Kagome on his back. They waited patiently, seeing Kagome sleeping peacefully almost like she could sleep now knowing everything was going to be alright. He moved closer into the road seeing a long thin silvery looking bus far away, now slowly creeping up the hill knowing this was their ticket of here.

He just gently shook Kagome, as she yawned loudly and shook her head trying to join him and the rest of the world.

" Wake up."

She mumbled heavily, ready to throw her head back into his shoulder and fall back to sleep.

" Mmmmm…why?"

He just slipped his hands away as she hit the ground, partly standing, and ready to fall to the ground. He just handed her, her heavy bag and pointed at the bus that wasn't even twenty feet away.

" Because the bus is coming were finally getting the fuck out of here! Yes!"

He screamed in excitement, as Kagome beamed and smiled as the bus halted to a stop. He saw passengers already half asleep, fairly packed as he stepped in first on the stairs placing the money directly to the driver, who looked deadly tired and white as a ghost. He realized Kagome hadn't stepped on to the bus, as he stopped dead in his tracks.

" You coming? Or do you want me to leave you behind!"

He scowled, placing his hand out as she took a moment to remember the good things about this place; Sango, Miroku, Mark.. even people that she slowly became close with. She was leaving this all behind in a flash, but this time she wasn't alone. This time she had Inuyasha by her side, and that made the difference.

" Don't worry I'm coming!"

She cheered walking into the bus as they placed a roomy seat in the back beside one another placing there bags up top on the rack, realizing hers barely fit. She sat near the window seat glancing at it, missing what was already apart of her, yet smiling knowing her life was steering in a new direction. They felt the bus move again, as she rested her head on his shoulder.

" Do you have a clue where were going?"

Kagome shouted, feeling a throbbing headache occurring.

" No, but anywhere but here. When we finally hit a town we'll find an apartment, and live there I promise. Just trust me alright?"

Kagome chuckled with her eyes already closing, slowly disappearing from her world for a moment. She shut her eyes feeling her in the comfort of him and placing a smile there, before it faded.

" Don't worry Inuyasha, I do. I do. I know with you no matter what happens, I'll be able to stand tall. At least I know I'm not alone in this, were in this together."
