Crossing to the Other Side
By WiNgEd GuArDiAn
Last time-
Before Kagome went to bed, she thought to herself. 'Why couldn't I just believe Yasha the first time.'
'Because If you hadn't, then we would not have this talk. Don't worry, just you said something out loud on accident doesn't mean I'll do something bad. Don't lose hope. Good night.'
The voice spoke in Kagome's thoughts.
(Some where in the clouds...)
" My lady, you are not going to do anything?" said one of the followers of Lady Midoriko.
" No, Kagome said it on accident. Yasha will pass all his tests, I'm sure of it. Just two more tests to go." Midoriko said, looking down upon Kagome.
" Don't you think that Yasha has proven himself worthy of living?" said the follower.
" Yes, he did. But, Kagome needs to know that. That is why we are giving Yasha these tests." Midoriko said.
" I see, my lady." -End-
Chapter 11: College Finals, and Summer's Beginning
(Kag's POV)
I never would have believed everything as gotten this far. It's been about 6 months now, and summer is around the corner. Yes, summer...a beautiful thing that is. For some reason, summer was never my fun thing since I was always in the Feudal Era. But, I have my friends back and I'm glad.
I walked into the living room to watch some good ol' t.v. shows. I sat down next to my love. You guessed it, Yasha and I have been living in my house for the past 4 months. We sold his apartment room, and I got out of my dorm room to stay with him here. Life has been great, I would say.
" Hey babe," said Yasha. Oh yea...I love that name!
" Right back at yea, babe." I said to him, cuddling up next to him.
" Ya know Kags, you can call me whatever your heart desires." said Yasha.
I just told him, " Yea, well...I like calling you babe...besides, that was the first name I called Inuyasha."
" True, but I'm not Inuyasha remember. I'm Yasha Tenou. Kagome's Love from now on." said Yasha.
I smiled knowingly. " I know. It's just, it's so hard to say good-bye to the past."
" Technically, the past is still here. Miroku and Sango's descendents are here, and I'm here."
" Yasha, it isn't the same. The Sango and Miroku now are not the Sango and Miroku I knew from the Feudal Era. You are Inuyasha, and yet you are not...I'm so confused!" I sighed heavily.
Yasha sighed. Guess I made him upset or something. " Yash? You okay?"
He turned to me. " Yes, love. I'm fine. Just wish that I could see the Feudal Era once more."
" Whatever happened to saying good-bye to the past?" I asked him.
Yasha smiled. " You're right. There's no reason to live in the past. Let's make ourselves a beginning, a future."
I gasped, my eyes wide with shock. " Yasha," I squeaked out. " You, you mean it?"
" Yes, I do mean it. Kagome Higurashi, will you be with me till the end of time?" Yasha proposed to me.
' Wait a sec! Pro...proposed to me! NO way!' I thought. " Yasha, I...I, Yes! I do, I love you!" I yelled out to him.
He came up to me and hugged me tight. " I can't wait for the wedding. I'd like it to be this summer, if you don't mind."
I smiled like no tomorrow. Wait! Did he say this summer! I was going to visit my family this summer. Oh bummer.
" Hey Yash? You don't mind if we visit my family this summer do you? You could meet them, and we could have the wedding late summer, early fall?" I asked him.
He thought about the idea and he smiled. " Sure Kags, when we gonna leave?"
I giggled. " Not till after the finals. I have four finals to take. How bout you?"
" I got three finals, and one project." Yasha told me.
" Well, than let's get to work." I smiled.

(Author's POV)
'Just one more question. Now why on earth can't I remember this answer?' Thought Yasha.
"Time! Put all your pencils down and pass up your papers." spoke the Professor.
Yasha thought to himself. 'Shit, oh well. I guess, I got to go to summer school now.'
As Yasha was walking out of class the professor stopped him.
" What is it?" asked Yasha.
" Mr. Tenou, you do realized you turned in a paper with all, but one answer marked?" said the Professor.
" Yes sir, I know this. I couldn't think what the answer was."
" I suggest that you study harder next school year, Mr. Tenou." said Professor Akimiya.
Yasha was about to sigh when he heard that comment. "You mean, I, I passed?"
" Yes Yasha, you passed. Have a good summer."
" I will, thank you!" said Yasha, running out the door.
Yasha ran into the parking lot yelling, " I'M FINALS FREE! SUMMER, COME TO PAPA!"
" You know, babe, it sounds a lot better if I was there to say it too." said a voice, who we all know.
" Hey baby, when didya get here?" said Yasha.
" Just long enough to hear you shout out that u were finals free." Kagome said, smiling.
" Awww, well, is all your finals done?" asked Yasha.
Kagome smiled brightly. " Yup! You still meeting my parents right?"
" Your parents? I thought you just lived with your mom, grandpa, and Sota." asked Yasha.
" Well," Kagome went to hook her arms around Yasha. " I found out not to long ago that mother got married to her high school sweetie. So now I have two step-sisters, and one step-brother. Sad, isn't it?"
" I'm sure that they'll like you, and vice versa. Why, it's so wrong?"
" Well, when I was talking to Sota, it seems that my 'step-brother' has been pushing Sota around. Even though he is a year older than Sota, he shouldn't push Sota around." Kagome was just ranting on.
" Kags, stop it. You're starting to rant again." Yasha told her.
Kagome sighs. " I'm sorry, but I'm really protective of my brother you know. Anyways, we leave in three days. We might as well start packing. Who knows how long we'll be staying there."
" Kags, why don't we pack everything? Knowing you, you're just gonna stay there the whole dang summer." Yasha said, giving Kagome a small peck on the cheek.
Kagome shook her head. " Well, we might, it depends on my mother. You know how she is with events and such."
Yasha nodded his head. " Yea, so let's start packing. I can't wait for the summer."
" Neither can I, Yash, neither can I." said Kagome, sighing happily in Yasha's arms.
A/N: OKay, sorry again for taking so long to write this chapter. I'm thinking of writing the next chapter sometime this week. I know it's going to take awhile before I actually finish all my stories. But I plan on finishing at least this one and my cardcaptors story. I believe this fic has about 2 chapters left. Then I'll get onto finishing up my ccs, then my other Inuyasha fic. Please r/r even though I know u all hate me for being very late on updating. Also...I started this chappie on my regular computer, but I'm ending it on my brand new...laptop! Woohoo :)
