The End

The Final Chapter Of Turns Of Time.

Welcome to it.

Flashback

Kagome jumped out of the magic well and landed with a soft thump on the floor of the well house at Higurashi Shrine.

'I wonder when I'll get back.' She thought to herself. 'Inuyasha said that I have to be back by sunset because that's when we leave, but I'm supposed to meet someone-'

A scream interrupted her thoughts as a girl with flowing chestnut hair that had so many highlights in it that it appeared to be on fire ran into the small structure at full speed.

"RUN!" The girl screeched.

"Huh?" Was all Kagome could manage before the girl rammed into her with a shout of "The bird-men are here! The bird-men are here!"

'Uh-oh.' Thought Kagome as the two girls fell down the well.

End Flashback

Kagome sighed as she looked out over the village from the high hill on which she was sitting. It seemed so long ago since that first day that she had met Jenny, and so much had happened. A smile crossed her lips as she remembered again how Jenny had entered her life, in such a Jenny like fashion. No nice introduction for Jenny, oh no. Jenny always had to take the big entrance, and in this case it had involved falling down a well screaming about birdmen. Kagome had yet to figure out where that had come from and she knew that she probably never would. It was just one of the many, many very weird things about Jenny and all that she did and all that she would do.

"What are you thinking about?" Came a gruff voice from behind her. Kagome smiled as her beloved hanyou sat down next to her.

"I'm thinking about Jenny." She said.

"Does everything have to be about her?" Inuyasha asked sulkily. Kagome looked up at him, shocked.

"Inu-" She began in a reprimanding voice, but Inuyasha held up a clawed hand to silence her.

"Don't get me wrong. I like the girl, but this was our adventure. And we haven't even realized that it's over now, at least I don't think that we have."

"Huh? What do you mean Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha sighed and reached deep into his red haori.

"I mean this." He said and he took out the complete Shikon no Tama. Kagome gasped as she once again saw the complete jewel, the jewel that for so many years had rested deep within her body. "It all started because of this." He said.

"Inuyasha…"

"I think that maybe…maybe I don't want to be full youkai, and that maybe I don't want to be full human. I've been thinking…and I think that I'll stay half demon, but in that case what should we wish for?" He asked her, Kagome looked up at him.

"…We?" She asked in a hesitant voice. Inuyasha nodded with a slight smile on his face. He never had been a wordsmith, so it was nice to hear that what sounded natural to him was actually the right thing to say. Kagome smiled and took the jewel in her hands. Still smiling she closed her eyes and wished with all her heart and all her might. The jewel disappeared into a sparkling mist before vanishing, and both the hanyou and the miko could have sworn that they heard a woman's laughter on the wind.

"What did you wish for?" Inuyasha asked, but Kagome just smiled up at him.

"You'll just have to wait and see." She told him.

Later That Day, Sometime Around Noon

"So…this is it?" Sango asked, shocked. "This is it? This is good bye?"

"No." Jenny shook her head, smiling at the youkai exterminator. "This isn't good bye. Nothing is ever good bye, I've learned that by now."

"We're just going away for a little while." Mario said.

"But we'll be back." Said Al.

"Yeah, no worries there." Said KK.

"I'm actually touched, most people can't wait for us to leave." Said Lia.

"People usually like you guys more then they like me at least." Said H mournfully.

"Don't be sad. It's completely personal." Said Blake in a patronizing tone to the other boy. H looked up at him hopefully.

"Really?" H asked.

"Yeah. In a unanimous sort of way, but yeah." Blake said cheerfully, brushing off the glare he was now receiving from H.

"I just can't believe that you guys are really leaving…" Said Kagome, shaking her head.

"We will be back soon, you understand that right?" Jenny said, tugging at Kagome's chin to peer into her eyes. There was a gentle sternness that Kagome saw in Jenny's gaze that comforted her. How could this girl be insane? Wait…never mind. It was probably the most believable thing that Kagome had ever heard, and that included 1+12.

"Yeah, I just…never mind." She said. Jenny smiled and leaned over and hugged Kagome tightly.

"Take care of Inuyasha for me." Jenny whispered into Kagome's ear. Kagome was a little bit surprised by this request.

Blake and Mario both were shaking hands with Miroku and both hugged Sango and Kagome. Al poked Miroku and then slapped him hard. At all the questioning looks that she got she said.

"I never got the opportunity to do that to him, and with all the stories that I've been hearing I just couldn't resist!"

"And you think I'm weird?" Jenny said to no one in particular before walking over and doing the exact same thing. "What?" She said, shrugging off the shocked expressions that everyone was giving her. "Al did it first, so therefore it's much weirder when she did it."

"Well I can tell you that both of your slaps hurt an equal amount." Said Miroku sulkily, as he now had two red hand marks on either side of his face.

"Aw, poor baby." Said Lia, and she went over and hugged him farewell. "You should tell Sango your true feelings." She whispered to him. "You know she returns them and she needs the support right now, what with the death of her brother. And there's nothing to fear now. You'll never leave her." After giving her message Lia pulled back.

Everyone was saying good-bye to everyone. People were trying to keep smiling, but it wasn't going so well. So Mario and Blake both hugged each other shouting about how they'd miss each other while they were apart.

"Um…guys?" Sango said, poking their shoulders. "You're not leaving each other…"

At her words Mario and Blake pulled apart and looked at her, then looked at each other, then looked at Sango again, and then faced each other once again, only this time with angry expressions.

"YOU LED ME ON!" They both shouted at the same time, pointing accusing fingers at one another. Everyone laughed at their antics.

"Remember to tell Miroku how you feel about him, Sango dear." Lia whispered in Sango's ear as she hugged the human girl goodbye.

Soon all the farewells had been said, except for Jenny and Inuyasha's. The two were standing facing each other, and watching them Kagome suddenly got a flashback to the first time that the two leaders had met. Or at least what she thought had been the first time.

Flashback

"Whatever. You're not coming with us."

"Oh yes I am!"

"No you're not!"

"And why not, may I ask?"

"Because I don't like you!"

"The feelings mutual, I assure you!"

End Flashback

'They've both come so far since that day…' Thought Kagome. 'But even now I know that they both have a long way to go yet.'

Suddenly something happened that shocked everyone in the Inu-Pack. Inuyasha leaned forward and hugged Jenny. She hugged him back as well.

"Wow…" muttered Shippo. "I think that Kirara fainted…"

"You left for so long…" Inuyasha murmured in Jenny's ear. Jenny smiled softly.

"I'm sorry child, I wasn't even sure if you remembered." She said.

"I didn't." He told her. They were still embracing. Mario, Al, Lia and Blake were trying hard not to snicker at the horror-struck look on Sango's face. She looked as if her entire world had just been thrown out of alignment. Kagome looked hopelessly confused, and Miroku (as only Sesshomaru and Rin noticed) looked as if his most far-fetched hunch had just been proven right.

"You know that no matter where I am, no matter how many turns of time separate us, I always protect my own. Especially the children that I looked after. Don't you?"

"I know. I know that. How could I not?"

Finally the pair broke apart. Ironic, isn't it? That these two, about the most opposite as you can get, actually regard each other as an older sister and younger brother?

"It's time to go." Jenny said louder, so that everyone could hear. "It's time to go…" She repeated.

"Bye!" Shouted the Inu-Pack as they waved goodbye.

"Bye!" Shouted the Guardian and Sesshomaru's group as they disappeared over the horizon. Only Jenny looked back. She was the only one who ever looked back.

Later that night

Shippo looked up at the night sky that looked as if it was painted there. The half moon marked the halfway point between the full moon and Inuyasha's night of humanity. Shippo had stopped thinking of it as Inuyasha's night of vulnerability or his night of weakness when Miroku had joined the group. When that had happened he had learned that humans aren't any weaker really, and in many ways they are stronger then full youkai even. This new family of his had changed his life and his way of thinking in so many ways that Shippo doubted that even he could list them all. He found that with every single passing day he remembered his life with his biological parents less and less and more and more of his memories had Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Mrow." Came a voice from beside him. Shippo smiled and turned to see his close friend Kirara sit down beside him.

"Tell me, Kirara." He said. "Tell me, if you could choose between staying with us and going back to Midoriko…who would you choose?"

Kirara was still and silent for a moment and then she pressed her furry head against Shippo's jawbone and began to purr softly and comfortingly. Shippo smiled happily, he had his answer.

"Shippo, sweetie?" Kagome's sweet voice spilled from the lit doorway into Kaede's hut.

"Yes Mommy?" Shippo asked.

"It's dinner time. So you need to come in now." She told him, a soft smile winding it's way from her lips to him.

"Coming Mommy." He called and then took one look back at the night sky. 'I wonder what Jenny and all of the others are doing right now…' He thought before turning back.

As he ran into the hut a shooting star flashed behind him. But he didn't see it because he didn't look back. 'Whatever it is…' He continued with his thought. 'I bet it's something weird.' That was the last that the little kitsune thought of his newfound powerful friends for a very, very long time.

Elsewhere a group of strange looking people were topping a tall hill in the middle of plains that seemed to stretch on forever. Suddenly a girl with so many red highlights in her chestnut hair that even in the starlight it seemed to be on fire, froze.

"What is it Jenny?" Asked a man, or rather a demon, who stood beside her. He seemed to glow with silver light in the darkness.

The girl, this Jenny, was glancing around at the sky suspiciously; she seemed very disturbed for some reason.

"They're here." She whispered. "The bird-men." Suddenly the entire group was on full alert. Weapons were out and they were all regarding the sky with foreboding.

"COME OUT AND FACE US YOU FEINDS!" Jenny screamed out to the sky. As if in answer to her cry a cloud of darkness fell towards them.

And that is all there is. There isn't any more.

And so here it comes to an end. I give you the benefit of the doubt, what really is Inuyasha and Jenny's relationship, who exactly are the bird men, who is this no body…those are all questions for a different story. Not for this one. But in time, I will answer them. The adventures aren't over; the Turns series has just begun. You only have to be patient. If you want to continue reading my work, my main project has now become the story Mistress Singer, Lady Of Us All which you can access by going to my profile page. Thank you for reading my story, and please remember to review this crucial chapter. The last chapter.

For that is all there is, there isn't any more.

Sincerely,
