In The End
Chapter One: Thoughts
Written By: InuyashaForever14
They sat there, around the fire in the dead of the night. They were in complete silence. Neither on of them knew what to do. With everyone shocked and lost in their own thoughts, the silence was kept for some time.
'I, we, finally did it. What does this mean? Will Kikyo try to take me to hell with her now? Would I really just give up my life to her, just like that, when I truly don't owe it to her? After all it was all of Naraku's doing. But I promised her I would go with her, but I can't just leave everyone, leave Shippo. he may be an annoying runt but I've grown to like him, almost like a son. I'll never admit it to anyone, but I do. He needs a father figure in his life and I'm not about to let that lecher be it. And what about Kagome? We've almost completed the jewel, she probably wants to return to her time forever after the jewel is complete. What do I care though, right?' Inuyasha thought.
He turned his gaze from the burning flames in front of him to the woman who sat beside him. Kagome. The light of the fire caressing her face, lighting it up. It showed to Inuyasha that she too was also in deep thought.
' I can't believe that it's all over. I've only been here for almost three years, I've grown so close to everyone here. Sango is my best friend, even better than any one of my friends that I have in my time. I love her as if she was my sister. Miroku, well he's just like an older, very perverted, big brother. Then there's Kaede. She's like a mother to me. She takes care of me when I'm in need and gives me good advice when I need it. Shippo, it is as if he is my own. My own son. I care for Shippo so much. Then comes, Inuyasha. He is just a friend but gods do I wish it was more. Yet, our journey is not yet complete. We still have to collect the jewel shards that Kouga possess. What am I going to do when it's all complete? I can't just up and leave my friends, my family. But what about my family on my side of the well, mom, gramps, and Souta? I know that when we complete the jewel that I will have to close up the well for the assuring safety of Modern Day Tokyo. I will have to choose between my two families. I don't know if I'm going to be able to choose. Inuyasha will probably go to hell with Kikyo and Sango and Miroku will sooner or later get married and start a family. They love each other, I just wish that they would show it. I wish Inuyasha loved me instead of Kikyo, but I want for Inuyasha whatever makes him happy, and if he is happy being with Kikyo, then so be it. I will be happy for him. I wonder if Inuyasha is still planning on using the jewel to become a full demon. I hope he isn't. I like him just the way he is now. Personally, he kind of scares me when he is in his full demon form. But once again, it is his decision and if that is choice he makes than I'm behind him.' Kagome thought deeply.
She turned her head towards Inuyasha and met his gaze. She looked into those golden eyes of his as three words kept playing in her mind. ' I love him.' Inuyasha returned his gaze to back to the fire. Across from Inuyasha sat Sango, staring into the same burning fire lost in her own thoughts.
'I wonder how Kohaku is doing? I wonder if he remembers anything at all, if he remembers me? I think in a couple of days I will set off with Kiara to search for him. But what about Miroku, I made a promise to him. I don't break promises. Never have and I'm not about to start. None the less, I will just ask Miroku to come with me.' Sango thought. She looked over to her left at Miroku. He looked as if he was thinking about something other than his usual perverted thoughts.
'My wind tunnel is gone. I can't believe it. After all of these years of fighting and searching, it's gone. The curse is gone and from now on, no one in the next generations of my blood line shall have to face the burden of it. Sango's promise keeps popping into my head. I wonder if she is going to keep it. I can only pray to Buddha that she does. I would like nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with the woman whom I love.' Miroku thought. He turned his gaze from the fire and looked into Sango's eyes.
(A/N: Well, there you have it! The first chapter! This was going to be a one-shot fic, but i decided that it was too long to be a one shot! I know the first chapter is short but you will have to deal with it! This is not my first fic that I have written but it is the first one that I have posted so please be kind, I'm still trying to figure out how this whole system works! Help! And if you are wondering, (which you shouldn't be if you're smart enough) Naraku is dead. I know I didn't put the battle in there because of two reasons. 1: I'm not to good at describing battle scenes. 2: I wanted to make all of you who love fighting scenes suffer! Muahahahahaha! Well anyways, I better get to be or my parents will kill me. At the moment it is 3:17 am! I'm tired! Question: Why is it that everyone seems to write so late at night? Well, not everyone but a lot of people do, at least all the writers I know do...sigh Please do not flame me if you don't like it just put it in a review and if you do like it by all means REVIEW! I know this chapter was dull but it gets better...trust me...it does... Adios Amigos!
