Thank you for being patient for me to review. As you all know Kagome's almost completely selfless, so coming up with the proper wishes was not the simplest thing to do. Please just enjoy!

READ LYRICS! YOU REALLY SHOULD GET THE SONGS BEFORE READING THE CHAPTERS.

Chapter 9: You and Me

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

You and Me By: LifeHouse

Kagome took a deep breath. She did not completely understand what was going on, but knew she was in some place because of the jewel. She had not gotten a chance to get past the worlds... 'I wish...' In her mind before she was taken there.

She hoped Inuyasha was not to worried about her not being there in soul.

"Hello!" Kagome called out looking around. Kagome looked straight ahead and saw something. It was a light rushing toward her. She quickly covered her eyes to block the burn from the shine.

A swift wind picked up and Kagome almost fell over. When Kagome finally uncovered her eyes she was even more surprised than she was to begin with. A battle waged before her.

She stepped back as demon attacked... Kirara? Kagome was about to run forward when she saw the feline cat forced to the ground.

"Kirara!" Kagome called seeing the neko was in great danger. She ran forward and than noticed something else. She was not in her regular closed. She was wearing armor and holding a sword. She was in Midoriko's clothing. 'Oh gods, what's happening now?' A demon came rushing for Kagome.

The nest thing she knew she was rushing at it with her sword held high. She sliced the demon down the middle and it turn to dust and bones. She turned quickly as another one came for her and did the same on horizontally this time.

Kirara bit into a few demons and pawed them away.

'What's happening?' Kagome thought as she stopped battling and looked around. She had not a second more before she felt a searing pain in her side. She looked down. A large demon had bitten into her and she could slowly feel her life fading away.

She breathing heavily and felt something in her side. Her last hope was all she could think. She dug her hand into the whole and pulled out the jewel. It glowed in her hands and she knew it held great power.

Kagome looked at Kirara who was trying to saved her. No, not her... Midoriko.

Kagome's soul was removed from the body and placed back into her own clothing. Kagome watched as Midoriko sealed her soul and the soul of the demons around her into the jewel. The jewel dropped to the ground in all of its power and glory.

Kagome was than taken to a place that was more familiar to her. The sacred tree. She looked around and wondered what could be happening now.

To her shock Midoriko appeared in front of her. Kagome gasped at the site.

"Do not fear me, Kagome." Midoriko bowed. "I normally do not appear to the ones wishing, but you are purifying it and finally setting my soul free after being locked away and battling day after day. I have only come to thank you and give you the two things you want most."

"Two?"

"You wish for the well to stay open. I will allow it and you will be allowed to transcend time."

"You'll really do that?"

"I understand that your heart would not allow you to choose between two families. It would be to much torture on the girl setting me free. I would not allow that."

"My second wish?"

"You want to be bonded with Inuyasha to a point where if he dies you do as well. You want to live life for as long as he does." Kagome herself had only known that deep down. She nodded. It was true. She did want that. "Granted."

"What? You mean you'll just give me such a selfish wish?"

"All wishes are selfish Kagome. I understand that and as a pure person you do as well, which is why I will allow this." Kagome nodded.

Kagome suddenly felt a raging fire. She screamed out in pain and flew up. She noticed Inuyasha looked at her with worry. She rubbed her head. 'Man... Intense.' Kagome thought rubbing her head. She went to use the other hand as well but just looked at it as he disappeared in flames, like Kikyo had over fifty years ago.

"You okay?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome nodded at him and sighed.

"I got to have two wishes." She said finally. Inuyasha looked at her in confusion. "One - The well will stay open."

"Of course you'd choose something like that wench. My time just ain't good enough for you is it."

"Inuyasha, my families there and you, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara are all here. I can't choose between you all."

"Feh, whatever."

"My second wish... I get to live as long as you. If you die I die."

"What?" Inuyasha yelled. The infant stirred, ready to cry from her fathers yelling.

"So you and me..."

"I know what you did! Why would do something like that Kagome?"

"Because I want to live and be by your side for as long as we both shall live." Inuyasha looked down.

"But... if I die in a battle..."

"Which you wont."

"If I die of sickness..."

"Which you can't."

"Poison."

"I'll get an antidote from my time."

"What if your family dies of old age and you still look young and joyous."

"I..." Kagome had already thought that over a long time ago. "I am prepared to handle it as long as you help me cope."

"Kagome..." Inuyasha sighed and rubbed hair out of the face of the girl in his arms. "What's her name?"

"I was thinking... Erasmus, which means love."

"That's a perfect name." Inuyasha smiled. "Erasmus it is."

Short, but lovely.
