Chapter 3

Sango stepped up next to Kagome, as they all watched the yellow flames of the wind scar race towards it's target. When they struck, the weakened, almost human Naraku screamed in agony, before dissolving in a white light.

"We did it!" Kagome called out triumphantly.

Inuyasha slowly sheathed the Tetsusaiga. Amazed that it was finally all over. He could get on with his life now, with Kagome.

A smirk rose to his face, as he turned around, one hand still covering a hole is his shoulder from where Naraku's tentacles had got a lucky shot, and walked up to Kagome.

She was beaming, a cut over her eyebrow dripping blood slowly, but she didn't seem to care. As she smiled at him, with that utter, blind faith she had in him. He had not doubt that she never wavered in the fact that they could do it. That they could destroy him.

He pulled her into his arms, as joyful tears started streaming down her face. Kouga and Sesshoumaru were also in the clearing, and Kouga was glaring daggers, while the Tai-youkai simply turned and walked away, a bouncing Rin and a ranting Jaken at his heels.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome away from his chest, to cover her lips in a soft gentle kiss. Not caring who was looking, except for the delight that this would set the damn wolf in his place.

When he pulled away, Kagome turned her head to see Miroku and Sango lose in each others arms, whispering to one another, and Sango had a small smile on her face.

Kagome couldn't help but feel like everything was going to go right now. Nothing could make this moment better.

"I love you." Inuyasha whispered in her ear.

Well, almost nothing.

"I love you too."

Kagome sat on the lip of the well, not quite wanting to jump in. She knew she had to go visit her family, tell them what was going on, and talk about the advancements in her and Inuyasha's relationship. But something felt, just something didn't feel right. She had no idea what it was.

"So," she said, to the hanyou standing in front of her. "Sure you don't want to come with me?" She asked, batting her eyelashes for good measure.

He looked away. "Keh, I've got things to do here wench."

She slid off the side of the well, to stand right in front of him, and leaned up to whisper in his ear, "I'll miss you." She delighted in the feel of his shudder at her warm breath on his neck.

"Keh," He said, somewhat shakily.

She pulled back, and smiled seductively at him. He looked half way between horrified, and shocked. She almost giggled. Then she leaned forward just far enough, so that there lips were mere millimeters apart. "Still sure?" She whispered, her lips snagging his.

He couldn't hold back, he captured her lips in a very heated kiss, one that awoken his demon side, and made the fire return to her stomach.

When they finally pulled away, there need for air over powering there need for each other, they were both breathless, and Kagome could clearly feel that she had got what she wanted. He wanted her, right here, right now.

"Please come back with me." She uttered quietly.

He shuddered again. "I want to…….., you have no idea how much, but I can't." He said, not a hint of evasiveness, or deceit in his voice.

She giggled. "No, I know how much you want to." She said, pressing herself closer to him, making him gasp quietly. She smiled. She couldn't believe she was doing this! This so wasn't her style.

She pulled herself away from him, and brought her legs up and over the side of the well, watching them dangle above the blackness. She sighed, and was about to push off the side, when she felt arms close around her waist, and a pair of lips were on her neck.

He pulled her backwards off the well, and down onto the grass. Never losing contact between his lips, and some part of her body.

Kagome didn't resist for one moment. And soon felt her self swept up in her own tide of emotions. In an hours time, she was his mate.

They had taken refuge on the edge of the forest, where they could still see the well. Kagome lay in the arms of her mate, just staring into his eyes, one hand hovering over the fresh bite mark on her collar bone.

Her mate smiled at her. "I love you." He whispered. "My mate."

She smiled back. And ran the back of her finger down his cheek. "I love you too."

He leaned forward and captured her lips sweetly.

"I need to go home," she whispered weakly, when he pulled away, and started tracing kisses down her neck again. " I really need to talk to Mamma."

"Shh," He whispered.

She giggled. "Okay dog-boy, " she said, sobering just enough to push him away, and pull his haori closer to hide her bare chest. "I've got to go. Now, what have you done with my underwear?" She asked, looking around them, there clothes were strewn every which way.

He sighed loudly, and leaned back on the ground in irritation. "Doubt there's much of them left..." He muttered under his breath.

Kagome looked at him, as she pulled on her bra, and shirt. "What did you just say?"

"Nothing."

She gave him a skeptic look. Then she pulled on her pants, and stood up, swinging her backpack over her shoulder. "Still don't want to come?"

He looked at her, having successfully pulled on his pants, and was working on his shirt. "Still can't."

she sighed loudly. "Alright, I'll just have to go by myself." She said, before stepping closer to him, and planting a kiss on his cheek. "Bye!" She turned around, and ran to the well, hopping in without giving herself enough chance to read the warnings, the churning in her stomach, and the white light that surrounded her, instead of the usual pinkish purple.

She was floating in white for a moment, when a voice rang out, "You're quest has been fulfilled. Now is the time for things to go back as they were."

Kagome instantly panicked at those words, afraid of what they might mean. The Jewel around her neck suddenly disappeared, right before she landed on the bottom of the well in her own time.

She looked up, frightened of what she might see, and was almost disappointed to see the brown, wooden ceiling of the well house. She franticly scrambled to her feet, and up the ladder. When she reached the top, she perched on the lip of the well, and took a deep breath before jumping in.

And...she hit the bottom.

The tears had started long before her feet ever touched the ground. It was her scream of agony, misery, and utter pain that didn't come, till that sickening thump.

The hanyou waited by the well for his mate to return. He waited three whole days before finally deciding, something had gone wrong, something just didn't feel right.

He took a running jump into the well, expecting to feel the welcoming aura of the time slip. But was disappointed as he hit the bottom.

One fact zipped through his mind with the precision of a dart. The well wasn't working, and Kagome was on the other side. 500 years in the future.

He looked down at the ground, and felt his heart clench painfully. Sitting at the bottom, was the Shikon No Tama. The strand that had held it around his beautiful mates neck, broken.

Inuyasha's scream of fury, rage and utter pain, could be heard for miles around. And every soul that heard it, hoped to Kami that it had nothing to do with them, or there loved ones. Many of them were lucky, some of them, were not.

Okay, you might have some questions about this, but here's how it goes. The original version, is the one that leads on to the original, Life Together Forever. But I'm planning on making a, get this, alternate sequel. I don't believe it's ever been attempted, but I don't care. I'm doin it! Just try and stop me! I hope you guys all like this one it will definitely be different. (I'm putting a new spin on it, hope you like!) - Fu Fu
