The both immedietly awoke and gasped, while their eyes flew open, and his arms tightened around the girl, "Did that really happen?" She asked in a whisper. She looked down and lifted up her baggy shirt and pulled down her loose black bonage pants, to reveal her creamy white hip, now a light bruise decorated it. She looked up at him, his eyes laid on the bruise in shock before moving her to one side while pulling his jeans, to reveal his own bruise on his tanned hip, "I think it did." His voice was filled with horror, shock an fear. "B-but why did it come to me? It would mean I'm the protector b-but that'd mean I'd have to be the reincarnation of... the last incarnate... A-and you turned into Inu yasha, tetsuaiga and all... does that mean the legend was... true?" She spoke softly and questioned outloud, not expecting an asnwer. A light, elderly and elegant female voice filled their minds,

"You are the curent protector of the shikon no tama young mistress, who is called Sango. Yet, she wasn't your previous in carnate, unlike someone you know. The legened as you know it was, somewhat true. Inu Yasha and Kikyou did fall in love, they did betray eachother. Inu yasha did sleep on the tree until the young miko named Kagome arrived through the well and freed him. She was the one to shatter the shard, they did meet all of those people, Kouga did fall in love with Kagome. Inu yasha was indeed a prince, and his brother Sesshoumaru, a lord. All of the characters you know, did exist, plus many more. Inu yasha and Kagome, did gather all of the shards, each of them had half of the shard after they got them from Naraku. After one night, when Kagome spied on Inu yasha and Kikyou together, Sesshoumaru raped her, and took her from his younger brother knowing that losing the girl would be the most painful thing that could happen to him. Kagome's heart still belonged to Inu yasha, she tried to tell him, but while Inu yasha was lone, he battled and faught at one time, he was taken on 100 to one. He won that battle in a miracle, but the person who launched all of those demons at Inu yasha- - or rather hanyou named Naraku, continued to launch demons at him. And, the next time he attacked Inu yasha, he killed him. It was peaceful for him, he died looking at the ocean and the beach, the wind blew- - one of the two of his elements, and behind him with the deep forest he had ran from. He was discovered by Kaede's vllage a few days later they had all been looking for him. They held a funeral for him, and his sword was destoryed, the hilt was burned with him and the blade or rather fang, was placed in a mountain. Everyone took different paths, Kagome commited suicide shortly after Inu yasha's funeral, but not before praying and wishing for them to have a second chance. Sango and Miroku, married, had children, who had children, before they died.

Shippou lived for a long time, but was torn appart by both Inu Yasha's and Kagome's deaths. He knew Kagome was soon to die after they announced the hanyou dead, but he loved the two very dearly. He took on the role of his surrogate father's as a protector and a wondering samurai. The little kitsune grew, faught and was seen as a hero to all of the western lands. He eventually had a family, settled down and died at an old age. Kaede died years after Kagome and Inu yasha's death, in her old age, she died in her sleep. Sesshoumaru married Rin - - his rightful mate one day, but before she could grow too old, she recieved an untimly death. He froze her body in a secret place only he knows about. Kouga and him are still alive to this day, as is Naraku and Kikyou. Kirara as well is alive, though in hiding. The demon world, and everything such as mikos, mages, witches all of those are now hidden and unknown the human world, demons are disguised as human. You must never speak of this to anyone execpt eachother for a while, and keep a low profile." The voice spoke. They sat in silence for several minutes, processing all of the information, "So, we have to pick up where they left off and kill that bastard Naraku." He said eventally. She nodded with a small smile, "You make it sound so easy." He snorted, "Feh." She giggled lightly, "That all you're gonna say to me?" "No." He tightened his arms around her and held her close to him, instantly silencing her. He smirked lightly, "I love you..." He began, she instantly felt her heart pound, "Like a sister" Ouch. That hurt. Bad. "I love you too." She said, faking a happy voice. She internally slapped herself she was being stupid again. She liked- - possibly loved him and he had no idea It reamined silent for a bit, her mind dwelled in the past, searching for some unknown answer, while his mind was set in the future, looking for some escape, some way to not allow these horrible things to happen. Both of their minds eventually bleneded intot he present, and they stood up together, "Now the question is, what is going to happen now?" He asked most gravely. She whimpered lightly and closed her eyes tightly and he sighed and pressed his lips against her clothed shoulder. His eyes were reflecting uncertainty, as was his heart.
