YESSSSSSS! You see that little blue number up there! Yea Baby! That say's one thousand! Whoopee! To commemorate that, I have posted what I beilive to be, my longest chapter ever! Here you go!

(Clears throat) Chapter 34 (Yes!)

Inuyasha followed Kagome to the living room, where she collapsed on the couch. "Ugh! I finally got everyone to settle down, and I find you up a tree with Shippou! What were you talking about?"

He wouldn't meet her eyes, "Keh! Nothing important."

She let it drop with a shrug. "Suit yourself, but shouldn't we go back soon? I'm sure the others are worried, we seemed to disappear pretty quickly. And Shippou was right there. I'm sure he's worried sick!" She said, as she sat up to look into his eyes. He had an intensity that vanquished her carefree mood. "What?"

His mouth descended on hers with instant need, a desperation that almost scared her. And she could feel him trembling under her fingers, as her arms encircled his neck.

She comforted him without words, by kissing him back gently, and coaxing his mouth open with her tongue. She didn't know what he was so afraid of, but she knew she had to protect him from it.

Though flew away to be replaced by sensation, as Inuyasha leaned her back down on the couch, without breaking there embrace. He laid on top of her, and started trailing feather light kisses down her neck, tracing her collarbone, and the v-neck of her shirt.

That was, until, someone cleared there throat, loudly.

Inuyasha instantly looked up, anda blushcame to his face, when he saw not only the mother of his mate, but his mate's brother, father, grandfather, and grandmother, all staring at them, with amusement written on every face.

He jumped to the other side of the room in one movement. And Kagome leaned up on her elbows, a deep blush also staining her face. "Uh...Hi guys!" She said nervously.

Kyle smiled. "I'd suggest you do that elsewhere. There are children in this house." He said, covering Souta's eyes playfully. Souta made a noise of protest, and they began wrestling.

Shippou sported a knowing smile on his lips. Milousha on his arm. And Mrs. Young was smiling down at the two, who had proceeded to fall to the floor, in there fight for Souta's sight. (A/N: That rhymed!)

Kagome rolled her eyes, as she got off the couch, and approached the still blushing hanyou. "Come on Inuyasha, we need to be heading back, don't we?"

Inuyasha glanced at her, and saw the truth behind her words. She wanted out of here, now! He nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

"Go?" Shippou asked. "Go where?"

Kagome turned to him. "Back to Sengoku jidia."

He had an underlining sorrow shinning from his eyes, as he nodded his head. Kagome gave him a puzzled look, and was about to ask him about it, when Inuyasha pulled her out of the room, and out of the shrine. She didn't need to know, and he'd be damned if he'd let it happen.

They entered the well house, when a cold, calm voice called out to them. "It won't work."

They both spun around, to see a tall man standing in the doorway behind them. His face, and body concealed in the shadows. Inuyasha growled. Kagome was puzzled. "Who are you?"

"What the hell won't work bastard?" Inuyasha asked instead. Being able to discern the mans stench.

He stepped forward, and revealed himself to be Shesshoumaru. Looking much like he had the last time they'd seen him. Fully dressed in his armor, and kimono from the feudal era. "And how the hell did you get through the well?"

Shesshoumaru regarded them coolly. "I didn't not travel through that contraption."

Kagome gasped. "You lived through the 500 years! Just like Shippou!" She exclaimed. The tia-youkai glanced at her.

"Yes miko. In the original time-line, " Inuyasha winced, "I was cut down. Which is the reason I have yet to contact you till now."

She looked confused. "Original timeline? What original timeline?" she asked.

Shesshoumaru shifted his gaze to his brother. "From this baka's reaction, I'd guess he knows, but has yet to tell you miko. Why don't you ask him?" Kagome rounded on him.

"Thanks bastard!" Inuyasha yelled. Then quieter to Kagome. "I'll tell you later." She gave him a sharp look, but let it drop.

"What do you want?" Inuyasha asked, hand on Tetsusaiga's hilt.

He raised his eyebrow. "I want nothing. I simply came to tell you, it won't work."

Inuyasha growled. "What won't work?" Kagome asked, before Inuyasha could start spouting any obscenities.

"The well. It has been closed." he said simply, coldly.

"W-what?" Kagome asked, 'no. It can't be.' Kagome though, her world spinning out of control. 'The well can't be closed'

"What the hell do you mean bastard?" Inuyasha snarled.

He just stood there, before reaching into his kimono, and drawing out a leather folder. He handed it to Kagome. "I was asked to give you this."

Kagome turned it over in her hands, and untied the strings that held it closed, and opened it to reveal a very small stack, of yellowing papers. The first one, said Sango at the bottom. It was a letter.

"W-what are these?" Kagome stuttered. Looking at the unmistakable elegance of the exterminators hand.

Shesshoumaru shrugged. "Your companions gave them to me. Many years ago, after you disappeared and never returned."

Kagome looked back down at the paper, and began to read aloud. "Dear Inuyasha, and Kagome. We do not know why the well sealed. But we have no doubt that it did, for we know you would have returned to us if otherwise. We do think, that it has something to do with the completed Shikon no Tama. But Miroku really knows more about it then I do. So let him explain.

"We have been married for over two years now, living in the exterminators village, with Kohaku and Shippou. And my new daughter, who just arrived yesterday. Sana is beautiful. I wish you could see her Kagome." a sob escaped Kagome's body before she continued and, Inuyasha slipped his arms around her shoulders.

"Kaede I'm afraid, died a year after you left us, and she left well, asking we make sure, that we find a way to say good-bye to the two of you. I guess we did. Miroku thought of this ingenious plan. Put don't ever tell him I said that, as if his ego isn't big enough!

"I cannot say all I wish to say in this short letter, for that would take months, and thousands of pages, but what I can say, is I love you, miss you, and wish both of you all the luck, and happiness in the world. Sango. " Kagome inhaled deeply.

"So it's true?" Inuyasha asked, knowing that it was, by the fact that Sango's scent permeated the paper. And he could faintly smell Miroku, and an unidentified person.

Shesshoumaru nodded. A tear feel down Kagome's cheek, as she put Sango's letter at the bottom of the stack, to reveal Miroku's. She began reading aloud again. "Dear Inuyasha, and Kagome. How are you? Shippou informed us of what happened just before you left, and we all hope you are well Kagome, but of course we all know, that Inuyasha is to stubborn to let you die. Something that gives us all comfort.

"My theory of why the well closed, is as follows, and Kaede agrees, that since the jewel was originally, whole, and in your time with you Kagome, we believe that after that came to be again, the well closed. And the only reason it stayed open for so long in the first place, was because the jewel was not where it was meant to be. And I hope I have not thoroughly confused you.

"I believe Sango mentioned our lovely Sana in her letter, she is three now, and we have another on the way. We plan to name it after you, Kagome for a girl, and Inuyasha for a boy. Just thought you should know." Kagome's voice shook as she spoke, and Inuyasha could understand why. She had just lost half her family in seconds.

"Shippou has gone back to the village. He says someone needs to protect, and guard the well. Along with the forest. But me and Sango have our theory's about a little girl named Milousha who awaits his return. Sorry Kagome, your little kit is growing up!

"I wish you well, and hope the both of you have a happy life. Because I know that we will. And there is nothing we deserve, that you don't a hundred times more. Miroku."

Kagome wiped her misting eyes, as she turned to the next one. Shesshoumaru, surprisingly, stood in the doorway still. As if he wanted to hear what the letters said. Kagome couldn't' blame him, she believed he hadn't read them, but to carry around letters for 500 years, and never read them? She would have died from pure curiosity.

The next one, was from Shippou. "Dear Mother and Father, don't thump me for calling you that! But that's how I feel. I'm older now, a humans equivalent of 18. And I understand what happened. I don't blame you for it, and I know I will see you again someday. By the time you read this, you probably will have already seen me. I miss you two so much! I even miss being thumped by you Baka! Yes I'm talking to you Inuyasha!" Kagome giggled as Inuyasha growled lightly at the paper.

"I live in Kaede's village, while the others at the exterminators, with there brats. I came back here, to protect this place, and to remind me of you guys. I never want to forget. Not like I could.

"I've taken a mate, just recently, Milousha is the most important person in my life. She's human, but of course, you two showed me that that doesn't matter. Nothing matters about our heritage, the only thing that matters, is what's on the inside, and I thank Kami to have that outlook.

"I plan to take this letter to Miroku and Sango, because they told me they had made one's similar. With a hope they would be able to find someone to deliver them. They don't seem to think I'll live that long. Keh! They still treat me like a pup!" Kagome giggled when Inuyasha leaned over her shoulder to read those words himself.

"What the hell does he think he's doing?" He asked. Kagome smiled.

"He acts like you, so he'll remember what you acted like probably. He was very little when we were around. It's harder to remember things from when you were that young." Kagome reminded him.

"Keh! Just keep reading." He said impatiently, crossing his arms over his chest.

"They'll probably end up giving them to Fluffy, or Kouga or something. See if I care!" Kagome looked up at Shesshoumaru, to see him looking appalled at being addressed as 'fluffy'. Kagome giggled, before she continued reading.

"I'm not sure If I should be the one to tell you this, Inuyasha, but I doubt the others will. But, about two years after you and Kagome left, Kikyou sought out Fluffy, demanding to know of your whereabouts. He cut her down that day." Inuyasha rounded on his brother, with a glare.

"You killed her?" He asked.

Shesshoumaru regarded his brother coldly. "Would you have rather I left her to live to this day, and cause further problems between you and your mate? Or did you simply wish to kill her yourself?"

"Keh" And he looked to Kagome, to start reading again.

"Anyways, I'll see you again someday, but I'm afraid, the others won't. till then, Shippou." Kagome moved it to the bottom of the stack, to see the last letter in place.

"Dear Kagome-sama, and Inuyasha-sama, you don't know me, but I know you. I'm Sana, Mother and Father were your very good friends, you defeated Naraku together. They have told me stories of you two, since I was a very small child.

"I wrote this letter, so that you could maybe know me a little. Because mother often speaks, of how you two would have loved me. I know that you are somewhere far in the future, and that those such as Shesshoumaru-sama, and Shippou-sama, will live to see you again. But mother and father, and me and my brothers and sisters, (I'm the oldest of 5, soon to be six) will not.

"I'm, as my father calls it, a wild child. I never obey my parents on the little stuff. I run with the demons, and exterminate the one's who are menacing, and evil. My father is proud of me for it, while mother, says she fears for my future. I Am 16 years of age, and have not been asked for courtship. At least, not by anyone she knows about. Someone has proposed to be my mate, but I have yet to give him an answer. But I plan to this evening. I shall be mated to a wolf-youkai. One of Kouga's kin. Mother said you knew of him." Inuyasha growled at the name, as Kagome looked up with a sad smile.

"That pervert better not let his pup be mated to a flea-bag." He growled.

"You don't even know him! He could be nothing like Kouga!" Kagome outraged.

"Keh! He's still a flea-bag!"

"Akito comes for me tonight, and I shall tell mother and father of him when I give them this letter. I wish I could speak to you longer, but mother is calling for me, wish..."

Inuyasha looked up when Kagome stropped reading. "What is it?"

"That's where it stops. It looks like the pencil was drawn across the bottom of the paper, like she fainted while writing." Kagome commented. Looking at the letter strangely. There was a dark stain on one of the bottom corners. "What's this Inuyasha?"

He bent over to sniff the stain. As Sheshoumaru stood by, emotionless. He suddenly lifted his head back, a disgusted look on his face. "It's blood. Her blood."

Kagome looked in horror at the piece of parchment. Before she turned it over, to see on the back, a scribbled note from Miroku. "Sana died in a fight against a serpent youkai, shortly after writing this letter. Akito turned up dead not a week later. She intended for you two to have this, and we thought it important that you did. Shesshoumaru will deliver this to you, when he sees you next. Farewell. Miroku."

Kagome sank to her knees, tears spilling out of her eyes, at the sorrow behind Miroku's words.

And here it is. I'm sorry my chapters have been so sad lately, but I do have angst as one of my main categories, so I had to. I hoped you like this chapter, and this is the A B thing. I was debating whether to close the well or not, and b won. So I closed the well. I think this story might be nearing it's end. But I'm not entirely sure. I might hang on for another 5 chapter. Try to make it to forty. But I don't know. I have straggled pretty far from the central topic. Anyway, see you all next chapter.

Thank you sooo much! I have 1000! And It wouldn't have been possible, without each, and everyone of you! I love you all!

This chapter is also dedicated to those who lost there lives in Katrina's fury. And to those who lost there homes, there whole lives in fact, in a matter of days. God bless, and good luck to all those who did survive. (Note: All my chapters, and even this whole story, is dedicated to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. )

I'm the all powerful Fu Fu!
Mwahahahaha!
