Chapter 5

Sango paused as the bushes rustled Sesshomaru, Kohaku, and Rin coming out. Rin's arm being around Kohaku's lovingly, a light blush covered her brother's face and it was all Sango could do not to giggle. Mikomi and Kei sighed in relief coming out from behind their mother.

"Kohaku…" Sango whispered as she had done so long in the past, the sad loving voice that would always come out and reach him. As with in his name, Kohaku dove into his sister's arms, and for another moment in their life, time stopped. The only thing in the world was the two of them…Sango and Kohaku…brother and sister.

Sesshomaru coughed slightly, signaling he would like a word a lone with Sango. Kohaku pulled back and nodded, tears still in his sister's eyes. "I'm so happy for you Kohaku" Kohaku smiled and nodded towards her once more "Thank you annue"

Rin grabbed Kohaku's hands as Mikomi and Kei took there uncle and their new aunts hand. Sango looked toward Sesshomaru, the demon hadn't aged at all, he was the still silver fit demon he was in the past, except his heart had grown much softer with Naraku's death, it was a site unimaginable to the demon slayer.

"Sesshomaru…" The demon looked over the slayer, she hadn't changed much with time either. She was still as tall, her pregnancy wasn't even that big and it was obvious she was near the final months. She was still as alert and she was still as loving of her brother. The only difference was that her eyes were tired but her heart was always happy, even within the worst, she was happy.

"Sango" Sango took a step forward Sesshomaru, a little stride in her step as she wrapped her arms around him, tears running freely now. "Thank you…for making my brother so happy" Sesshomaru paused a minute tempted to push her away as he paused, his arms slowly wrapping around her lower back. "Your welcome" he grunted slightly.


Inuyasha sat on the ground with confusion, everytime he got close, Kiseki just kept getting farther away. "If they get the remaining elements then…Kiseki will…" All of a sudden Inuyasha stopped as a familiar scent came into play.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha said looking over his shoulder sadly, "Why did you come here?

There was no sound from the miko as she approached him slowly kneeling on one knee. "Inuyasha…I've come with you…to save Kiseki" Kagome said quietly a small smile on her face. "You can't do it alone"

Inuyasha paused looking at her, she had tried once before hadn't she? Why was she coming back?

The answer was clear…She still loved him

He wasn't sure how she loved him. A brother, a friend, a lover, but if you care about someone that much to travel as far as he went to find Kiseki, to find something that means the world to him. That is love.

And Inuyasha didn't say no. Because the truth was…deep down….he loved her too, as a friend.


Kikyou stood slowly, running her hand over her pregnant stomach, sighing to herself. 'So…' she wondered to herself as she re-entered her hut. Kikyou looked out the window sadly, 'I wonder…if Inuyasha will find her in time…..' Kikyou whispered shutting her eyes tiredly. 'Because…I'll miss them so much….' Kikyou whimpered a small tear running down her face as she shut the 'certain' and crawled into bed.

Wandering….Wandering… to a restless, endless sleep…
