Also i realized that i posted the wrong document for this chapter so this is the real chapter.
Disclamer: I do not own Inuyasha or have any part to do with the stow other then fandom.
Inuyasha woke Kagome early so that she could see the sunrise. Although she was still tired Kagome was glad that Inuyasha had woken her up. She figured she could make up her sleep in her own era after the well was closed. But she wasn't going to think about that now. Inuyasha jumped to the top of a nearby tree and sat down Kagome sat in-between his legs and he wrapped his ands around her from behind. They settled into one another as the sun displayed beautiful colors across the sky, splashing it's paintbrush.
"It's beautiful Inuyasha" Kagome said I hit of tiredness in her voice. He kissed her ear "I thought you'd like it, you were always asleep when we were looking for the jewel shards together so I figured it best to let you rest. But now that…well I thought you'd like to see it."
Kagome's face fell into a sad frown "I hate to admit it but I wish the jewel was still broken and we were still looking for it, I guess it had to end sometime. I know I should be happy that the jewel will no longer empower demons…" But at that she stopped at that she didn't know what he would do with the jewel. Would he become a full demon and slaughter to many people? Inuyasha sensed her discomfort and pulled his arms tighter around her.
Inuyasha was on the edge of crying. "So do I Kagome. If I could re do that whole journey things would be different." "How so?" she asked. "I would have told you a long time ago that I loved you" he replied without hesitation. Kagome looked into his eyes, they were glazed over so she knew he was holding back tears.
"How long have you loved me?" she asked. It was something she wanted to know ever since he had told her of his feelings. "I really don't know Kagome" he said softly "I guess in the first few days I disliked you, or pretended to, because you looked to much like…her, and that stupid sit command was so annoying, but I guess I deserved it. But I really started to like you when you came back from your era when we were fighting Yura of the demon hair. You gave up your safety for that of your friends even though coming back here was probably the last thing you wanted to do. After that I only started to like you even more and over time it turned into love for you and I was watching your ever move to learn more." Kagome was shocked; she didn't think that Inuyasha loved her for that long.
"What about you Kagome, how long have you loved me?" " Never hated you. I was attracted to you first by appearance then by the real you. The one you keep locked inside but once in a while it showed through you act."
Inuyasha chuckled and tightened his arms around her "We both took a long time to tell one another then" he said "I thought you hated me" she replied "I could never hate you Kagome" Inuyasha said as he pulled Kagome into a kiss.
"What will you do when I leave?" she asked, "Will you go with Kikyo?" This took Inuyasha aback. Did she really think that he would go with Kikyo when he had just said that he loved her? " NO! No that would be the last thing I ever do" Inuyasha said "I won't fall in love again Kagome. You are my life, so I'll put away every memory of this week and all our travels so that I think of you all the time." He wanted to be strong for Kagome so that she wouldn't cry as much. He wanted these last days with her to be happy. "But lets not think of the end of the week. We're not there yet, we still have the rest of today and four more days" Kagome nodded "When we get back to camp I have some thing to give you that I think you'll like and the others as well"
They walked back to Keade's hut hand in hand. They seamed to be walking hand in hand a lot lately, not that anyone was complaining. Both sat down next to each other for breakfast. Sango and Miroku hag already started without them. During their meal Kagome noticed how close Sango and Miroku were sitting and how they gave each other looks every now and then. There hands would brush against each other and their smiles made Kagome even more sure that they had told one another their feelings. She was glad she was here to see this day it was something she had been waiting for for a long time.
After they had eaten and breakfast plates had been cleared Kagome walked to her huge yellow backpack and pulled out a few black books. "I have something for you guys" Kagome said "Remember the camera you took pictures with" They all nodded remembering the funny contraption with the bright lights that Kagome had brought with her from her time. "These are the pictures we took" she said passing out the books.
On the front of everyone's cover was a picture of the whole group. In the back was Inuyasha Kagome Sango and Miroku and in the front was Keade with Mioga on her should (not that you could really see it) ship and Kerara.
Inside the album was a picture of Sango and Kerara. Kerara was in her smaller form and was laying on Sango's lap. Sango had her head rested against a tree, sleeping.
The next was of Kagome holding Shippo. They were both smiling from ear to ear.
After that came one of Inuyasha sitting in the grass looking at the odd contraption. Everyone busted out laughing at the picture. "I remember this" the kit said in-between laughter "Inuyasha pushed a button" "And then he tried to kill it" Miroku stated witch only caused more laughter erupt through the hut. Inuyasha of course didn't find this amusing and said "You would have done the same thing if some potential demon was flashing bright lights at you"
The next one was of Sango and Miroku. It was raining and the two were sharing a umbrella. Kagome had ran ahead to take the picture and when she was ready Miroku throw his arms around Sango pressing his cheek to hers. They both had a tint of blushing on there face. At this time Miroku slipped his arm around Sango's waist pulling her closer to his side.
After that came Kagome's favorite. It was of Inuyasha and herself. They were sitting under a tree both asleep. Kagome's head had fallen to Inuyasha's shoulder and his head rested against hers. Sango or Miroku must have taken the picture. Kagome chose this time to rest her head against Inuyasha shoulder much like she had in the picture and his arm snaked around her shoulder.
Shippo and Kerara playing with a ball Kagome had brought from her time. They were in a field willed with tall grass.

They spent the rest of the day looking at pictures and recalling memories of their travels. By the time they started to get hungry for lunch it was 1:00. They decided to pack a lunch and eat in the clearing west of the village. Sango and Kagome started packing while the boys went out to find some place to eat.
Sango and Kagome started the rice and ramen along with the fish Inuyasha and Kagome had caught the day before. "So Miroku finally reviled his feelings huh?" Kagome asked. "How did you know?" Sango asked. "I saw those looks you shot one another during breakfast" Kagome smirked "and the way he rested his arm around you when we were looking at pictures." Sango blushed but nodded her head "We did last night, he came to wash dishes with me and he just said 'Sang I love you'". Kagome smiled "As long as you love him" she said, "I do Kagome, I do."
The girls prepared the rest of the lunch talking about how their men told them they got together.
Miroku and Inuyasha walked through the trees to find a nice clearing of some sort to eat in. Shippo ran ahead playing. "So monk you finally told her?" Inuyasha questioned. "Yes I did Inuyasha" Miroku stated. "Thought so," Inuyasha smirked again feeling like a little teasing was in order "You sure do smell like her"
The walked a ways in silence before Inuyasha broke it. "Miroku, I want to give something special to Kagome before she leaves but I have no idea what. I mean I have one thing but I need something else." Miroku smiled and whispered into Inuyasha ear. "Thanks Miroku that's great." Before long they spotted a clearing and headed back to get the girls.
They sat under a tree eating their lunch. Shippo was chasing Kerara around the field while Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku sat on the blanket watching.
"You know I'm really going to miss this." Kagome said her eyes filling with tears. "Kagome we will to, it won't be the same without you" Sango said a small tear escaping her eye. "Lets not think about the end of this week, lets spend it with Kagome and enjoy our time" Miroku pointed out. They all agreed.
They spent the rest of the day in the clearing talking and playing with Shippo until nightfall. After witch they walked back to the hut for dinner and a good nights sleep.
