Kagme slowly rose to her feet and placed her hand on the Gosohinboku. She ran her hand along the tree to the spot where Inuyasha had been sealed away so long ago. As her hand hit the spot where bark wouldn't grow she thought for a moment that she could feel a faint heartbeat. She quickly pulled her hand away forcing back the tears before turning and running into the well house. She leapt into the well without looking back and let the warmth of the time slip envelope her.

When she finally surfaced Shippou was waiting for her near the well.

"Kagome!" he yelled as he catapoulted himself into her embrace.

Kagome pulled him into a tight hug and pet his head as she wordlessly walked out of the clearing and into the forest. She walked in complete silence with only the soft, even breathing of Shippou's sleeping body to keep her company. When the sacred tree finally came in view she abruptly stopped, awaking the sleeping kitsune in her arms. Shippou looked at her with questioning eyes, but she looked over his head, gazing at the tree in front of them. Shippou hung his head as he realized where they were.

Kagome walked to the Goshinboku and knealt down by the newly buried mound near the base. She reached in her shirt and pulled out a small fang necklace.

FLASHBACK

Inuyasha bowed his head as he handed Kagome a small fang necklace. He drew in a breath as Kagome gave him a questioning look.

"When you wear this, I'll be able to track you...no matter where you are, I'll find you. It will let me know your fellings...it will let me know when you're sad, angry, in danger, or...anything. This way I'll always know if you are okay...no matter which time you are in," he whispered as Kagome smile grew.

Kagome threw her arms around Inuyasha and whispered in his ear.

"I love you Inuyasha," she whispered.

Inuyasha pulled her away to look deep into her eyes. After a few passing moments when Kagome thought he would reject her, Inuyasha pulled her into a deep, loving kiss. Their first kiss.

"I love you too, Kagome," Inuyasha replied, pulling her in for another kiss.

END FLASHBACK

Kagome quickly jerked the chain, freeing it from her neck. She let one lone tear fall onto the dirt mound before her. The dirt mound that was Inuyasha's grave. She gently place the fang necklace near the base of the tree, right above the dirt mound. She just sat there for a moment, fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

"I love you, Inuyasha," she whispered before slowly rising to her feet.

Kagome scooped Shippou off the ground and proceeded to walk. Shippou looked at the saddened look on Kagome's face as she continued walking. He knew where she was going...the Demon Exterminator's Village...it's where they burried Sango and Miroku, they were burried together...it was their final wish. They had made them promise.

The sun was beginning to rise and it occured to Shippou that they had been walking all night. He stretched his tiny body in Kagome's arms. He rubbed his eyes before staring deep into Kagome's...her eyes, once vibrant and full of life now seemed dull and lifeless. Her face always taught in a shallow frown. It scared him a little. He knew that it was Kagome who had been impacted most by the tragic event, but it hurt him too. He, of course, would never let her know that. He figured her own sorrow was enough for her to carry with her.

As they finally reached the village Shippou awaited Kagome's response. She showed no sign of real life, just walked along the path in the center of town just like one of Kagura's animated corpses. A few feet from the gravesite Shippou jumped down from Kagome's arms. Just as Kagome knelt down to the two mounds Shippou transformed into his large, pink, floaty form and drifted away.

As he drifted over the forest Shippou wondered if Kagome would ever be okay again. If she would ever be happy, if she would ever feel whole inside. As he thought this his anger for his friends' murderer grew. He pushed himself harder to move faster and farther and he soon reached the clearing in record time. He ran to the oposite side of the well, the one they usually ignored. He ran clear to the other side, almost into the woods before kicking a small mound of earth. He dropped to his knees, fighting back the tears forming in his eyes.

"Why! Why did you have to take them from me?...from us? I hate you! I swear to the Gods if I ever see you again I will kill you!" He screamed and kicked the mound once more.

He let a few tears fall as he transformed again and rushed back to Kagome's side.

By the time he reached her it was dark yet again. He returned to the Exterminater Village only to find she was already gone, so he walked down the path back to the well, hoping to find her on his way back. He finally spotted her sleeping, laying next to the Goshinboku and the dirt mound that held her lost lover. Shippou sighed and buried himself under Kagome's arms. He turned in her half-embrace to look at her face. Her eyes were red and her eyliner streaked down her pink tinted cheeks. Shippou fought tears of his own as he tried his best to fall asleep.
