I hope you guys are enjoying this fan fiction so far. I'm really working hard on it. I love it so much. It's a little more unique than my other fictions and if you've read them I'm sure you've noticed.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Note: About what I wrote yesterday about the whole family thing... I didn't mean it totally the way it sounded. I didn't mean that all I do is write fan fictions... yes I do write a lot, but I concentrate on school and friends too - like any teen. I just meant that writing fan fictions is one of the main things that makes my 'not so useless' in this world.

And now for what you've all been waiting for! This is the LAST CHAPTER!

Chapter 20: Home is... home

Kagome picked up the little test. Blue was negative and pink was possitive. Kagome kept her eyes closed and thought about what could happen both ways.

She opened her eyes. Her heart felt solid, but than.. relief. It was not pink, it was blue. She could almost feel a tear of joy. She was so relieved. She had expected the worst, but had gotten the best. 'Thank the gods.' She thought. She wrapped the test and box up and stuffed it into the trash so no one would ever know it existed.

Kagome walked over to her bed. She sat on it and looked at it. What was wrong? Why did she feel so... lonely? It's not like Inuyasha wasn't right down stairs or anything. It's not like her parents weren't at the other end of the hall? Gramps and Sota were close too.

Kagome stood up. She would feel better if she was closer to one of them. Inuyasha was her best bet.

Kagome made her way down the steps. She looked around. She was about to go into the guest room, but stopped. Inuyasha was a sleep on the couch. Why?

Kagome thought it over for a moment and realized he must have been waiting for her to come down stairs. 'He probably wanted me to come down and tell him the truth about all of this... he trusted me to tell him and I just ignored it.' She frowned. There was no longer a need for him to know anything anyway. She was only sick. 'I'll tell him what was up in the morning.' Kagome decided.

Kagome went over and sat on the couch beside Inuyasha. He was lying down. She felt a little weird purposely falling asleep on the couch with him. She wonded what he would think if he woke up in the morning with her there.

"Eek!" Kagome was pulled down by a clawed hand. She smiled when her shock was over. The hanyou was smiling at her.

"So you came down." He said with a wicked grin.

"I... wanted to say goodnight."

"Right... you couldn't last another night without me could you?" Inuyasha asked concededly.

"I've lasted this long haven't I? Another day wouldn't have killed me."

"Whatever. So you going back up than?"

"Um... as a matter-a-fact.." Kagome began.

"Stay for me.." Inuyasha cut her off and wrapped his arms around her, as he nozzled her neck. Kagome smiled. 'Puppy.' She moved a little to make herself comfortable.

The next morning

"Awe.. how cute." Mrs. Higurashi said as she walked past Inuyasha and Kagome sleeping on the couch together. Shin wasn't as excited about it as her, but he didn't mind to much. Nothing would have happened on a couch with everyone home, so all the did was sleep together than.

Sota didn't care about what they were doing. He was actually hoping for a little part demon niece or nephew. It would be 'so cool' in his mind.

"I'll start breakfast." Kizoku informed. Shin smiled. The next person down was gramps. Sota and him took a seat at the table as they waited for their food.

"Ramen." Everyone turned to the couch. Inuyasha was mumbling something in his sleep. "Ramen." He said again and rolled over.

"Ah!" Kagome fell to the ground and bumped her head on the ground. "Owe." She said rubbing her head. She glared at the now very awake Inuyasha. "You..."

"Ah... um..." Inuyasha held his hands out defensively. "It was an accident, honestly." Kagome stood up and Inuyasha fell over the back of the couch.

"SIT BOY!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha's face slammed into the floor. The carpet wasn't soft enough to help any. Kagome marched over to the table and sat down angrily. She was still tired of course. She had gotten a mere two hours of sleep.

At the smell of food Kagome immediately stood up. It sickened her. Kagome ran to the bathroom and shouted...

"Excuse me!"

"She's still sick?" Sota questioned. Shin immediately became suspicious. He wondered why she was only being sick in the morning. 'Morning sickness from pregnancy!' Shin bit his lip. He would not allow this.

"Kagome!" Shin got up angrily. Was she hiding this from him? Did everyone else know? Did no one, but him know?

"Shin, where are you going?" Kizoku asked.

"To talk with our pregnant daughter!" He yelled furiously.

"What?" Everyone said. Inuyasha's breath stopped. 'What is he talking about? Kagome's not with child? She can't be... can she?' Inuyasha stood up and went to see what Shin was talking about.

Shin was glaring at Kagome in the bathroom as she vomited into the toilet bowl. She was crying. (Some people cry when they puke and since Kagome gets a little emotional sometimes she'll cry)

Kagome wasn't paying attention to what her father was telling everyone. She was to busy feeling crumy. When Kagome was finished she wiped her mouth and stood over the sink. She took out her tooth brush and tooth paste and began to brush her teeth. 'I really need to go to the doctors and get some medicine for this stomach flu.' Kagome decided as she finished brushing her teeth. She used a towel to clean the extra water off of her mouth.

When Kagome turned to the door she was surprised to see everyone there staring at her like they had all just seen a ghost, that was everyone except for her own father who was glaring at her like she had just committed some sort of felony.

"Is something wrong?" Kagome asked.

"You bet there's something wrong!" Shin stepped closer to his daughter. "Do you have something you want to tell us? Like why you're only getting sick in the morninngs?" An anime sweat drop appeared on Kagome's face for a moment.

"I'm sick." Kagome replied.

"Only in the mornings, like when you're pregnant?"

"Dad!" Kagome glared at her father. She was not pregnant. He was only embarressing her to no end. "I'm not!"

"How would you even know? Oh great now we're going to have to go to the doctors and get this checked out. What are they going to say when they find she's got a partial demon child in her." Shin slapped his head. "And there's no way Kagome can keep it. She's to young. Abortion's the only solution."

"What do you mean abortion!" Inuyasha only knew about this because they had talked about it in health. Frankly it disgusted him. "Never! Not with my pup."

"Oh, Shin. No." Kizoku cut in.

"Cool." Sota's eyes glowed.

"She's to young. She has to finish school!"

"Will you all just stop?" Kagome yelled. Everyone turned to her. "I'm not pregnant. I already took a test. Now will you all just keep your mouth shuts!" Kagome felt so embarressed. She walked past her family members and headed for the stairs. This only proved how her family would react to her having a child. She wondered if she would ever be able to if this was their reaction.

Kagome looked back at her family. They were arguing with eachother now, completely unaware of how she felt. Kagome turned towards the back door. 'And they'll never know if I leave will they?' Kagome walked towards the back door and opened it slowly and closed it quietly.

She walked to the well house. She slowly entered and made her way down the short set of steps. When Kagome leaned over the well she yearned so much to be back. She missed it there. If she was there and she had gotten pregnant it wouldn't have mattered because she was considered an adult there.

Aften only another moment Kagome felt the presence of the sacred jewel. She thought back to the time Inuyasha had pushed her through the well and the jewel had been at the bottom. After digging she hit the jewel and flew through to the next era.

Kagome jumped over and into the bottom. She needed to at least try. This was the third time she sensed the jewel in the well. It had to be there. It just had to. There was no other explanation.

Kagome got on her hands and knees and began to dig. She could feel the dirt on her finger tips as the jewel seemed to be getting closer and closer. She dug faster, trying with all her mind to keep sensing the sacred jewel. 'Almost...' There is was. The blue aura. 'There!' She was so excited. She had done it. Finally. She had gotten back to where she had longed to be for so long.

Kagome smiled. She wondered what the others would do when they saw here. What would they think? Would they be mad that she had left? Or just happy that she came back. She wondered what they would think of the news with her and Inuyasha. She decided to leave that off subject for now. There was no need for them to know just yet. It would be to akeward trying to explain. She'd wait till Inuyasha was there and see how he wanted to throw the information at them.

Kagome looked up and smiled even brighter when she saw a clear blue sky and vines along the well wall. Kagome picked up the jewel and stuffed it into her pocket. She began to pull herself of the vines. When she fully pulled herself over she was relieved by the fresh smell and wonderful wildlife. It looked even better now than it did the last time she was there.

Kagome went to lift her legs over the well, but was distracted when she saw Shippo sleeping there by the well side. She felt so sorry that she had not even spared him a goodbye last time. He looked up to Inuyasha and Kagome more than any other and they had left him for so long, not that they had meant to be gone for so long.

Meanwhile

Inuyasha stopped arguing with the others and looked around. Kagome's smell... It had just disapeared.

"Is something wrong Inuyasha?" Kizoku asked.

"Where did Kagome say she was going?"

"She didn't."

"Shit, that stupid girl." Inuyasha ran out the door and looked around. His first thought was to go and run until he found her, but her scent wasn't there to lead him. He could only think of one place she could be. He looked at the well house and swallowed the lump in his throat. 'Could she have gotten through.'

Meanwhile

Kagome got herself all the way out of the well and picked Shippo up. He rolled in her arms and brought himself closer to Kagome. Kagome rubbed Shippo's bangs from his eyes and began to walk off in the direction of the village.

"Shippo breakfast!" Sango's voice called from the woods. Kagome looked around and began to run off toward her other friend. Kagome ran through the woods and surprisingly Shippo didn't wake up the whole time. He must have stayed up late.

When Kagome entered the village. Villagers smiled at her, glad to see that she was back. Kagome went to Kaede's hut first. That's where they would all be eating and waiting for Shippo.

"Kagome stopped at the door. She felt a little nervous about walking in. It didn't seem like she could just go on in anymore. She had an urge to knock, but realized that she had never done it before and it was not time to start now.

Kagome pulled the bamboo aside and laughed at the shocked faces of her friends who had expected to see Shippo and saw Kagome there. Sango gasped and stood up.

"Kagome!" Sango and Kaede said at once. Kagome put Shippo on a mat and hugged her friend. After Sango she hugged Kaede. Kagome hugged Miroku after that and Miroku's hand went to wonder down.

"If that hand goes any lower monk..." Everyone turned to see Inuyasha at the doorway.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku got very nervous and allowed Kagome to pull away.

"What the hell do you think you were doing!" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"I was just hugging him..."

"Not that! You came through the well without me! You could have gotten stuck."

"I sensed the jewel and... and you were to busy arguing with my family to care!" Kagome retorted.

"Feh." Inuyasha crossed his arms and hid his excitement about being back inside.

"Kagome?" Shippo yawned and sat up, rubbing his eyes. Kagome smiled. Shippo waited a moment to adjust his eye site and when he saw Kagome and Inuyasha there his breath caught in his throat. "Inuyasha?"

Tears began to fill Shippo's eyes. He stood up and jumped into Kagome's arms, hugging the breath out of her. Kagome laughed and hugged him back.

"Kagome." Shippo nuzzled her a little. Inuyasha found himself getting slightly jealous, but decided to let it go this once. "I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"How did you get back?" Shippo pulled away and asked.

"Good question." Sango added.

"It's simple really. I sensed the jewel. I jumped in the well and I dug until it pulled me through to this side of the well." The others all nodded understanding.

"So... than how did Inuyasha get through?" Miroku asked.

"I... don't know." Kagome said. She looked over at Inuyasha. "How did you get through. Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders.

"The necklace." Keade cut in. Everyone looked over at her. "As long as he wears the necklace he's can get to anytime that Kagome is in, considering she is the one who commands it." Everyone nodded in understanding.

Everyone sat down around the fire. Everyone noticed how close Inuyasha and Kagome were. They couldn't help, but think of the things Inuyasha and Kagome could have done in her time.

"So are you planning on going back anytime soon, Kagome?" Sango asked. Kagome smiled.

"No, I think this girls had her fleeting epoch change for a while."

THE END

IMPORTANT: I know it wasn't very nice to end this fan fiction like this, but this is how it was planned out. Sorry. I also know some of you wanted her to end up pregnant. Maybe in the sequel ifthere is one her and Inuyasha can have kids.

SEQUEL: I know this is sort of a sudden ending, but you should have sensed it coming. The plot was all done. There should be a sequal to this. I'm not sure though. It all depends on how many people want it. It's got to be somewhere around 25-50.
