Chapter 4 (Original!)

The well had sealed. Inuyasha was waiting. He would wait for as long as it took, to get Kagome back in his arms.

"Kaede! You in here you old hag?" Inuyasha yelled as he came into her hut, he had just returned from gathering an herb for her. 'Yeah' Inuyasha thought 'An herb that took 2 days to find'

And in those two days he got rid of a nice piece of vermin for good.

"Hey mutt face?" Kouga came swirling up. Inuyasha growled. He knew he'd smelled vermin.

"What do you want flea bag?" Inuyasha remarked. As much as he wanted to, he wouldn't kill Kouga. Kagome never would want that. He just wish he knew why.

"I've come for my women. I haven't seen her in far to long. My travels have prevented me from claiming her. That ends today" Kouga replied smugly. Inuyasha didn't answer. He looked down at the floor.

"Hey, what's with you mutt face? Where's my women?" In an instant Inuyasha had one hand wrapped around his throat, constricting his air passage and holding him 6 inches off the ground.

"If you ever! EVER! Refer to Kagome as your women again! I will-" Inuyasha hissed through clenched teeth.

"What? You'll kill me?" Kouga asked, gulping slightly for breath.

"No, Kagome wouldn't have wanted that. I'll just make you wish you were dead. Kagome's mine. She already agreed to be my mate. So if you go anywhere near her I'll make sure you regret it! got it?" Inuyasha said, venomously.

"Where is she? What do you mean, 'Wouldn't have wanted'?" Kouga asked, as Inuyasha set him back on the ground.

"She's in her time. The passage there is sealed off." Inuyasha took his hand from Kouga's neck.

"And she agreed to be your mate?" Kouga asked. Inuyasha nodded.

"Then I'll take my leave, Take care of her mutt face, or I may have to take her from you" Inuyasha growled, but Kouga was already gone.

Inuyasha was often sullen these days. He never smiled, he just did little things, tasks for the villagers and Kaede to keep him busy. And he often went to go visit Sango and Miroku and there two brats. But most of all, his business was to take care of Shippo. He was pretty nice to the brat nowadays.

Inuyasha looked into the second room of the hut to see Kaede lying on a futon. She was extremely pale and was breathing heavily. His irritation vanished instantly.

"Kaede, what's wrong with you?" He asked, kneeling down next to her.

"Inuyasha. I believe mine time here is almost gone." she responded. Her voice was weak, more weak then usual.

"Come on Kaede. You can't die on me now." Inuyasha said, almost franticly, taking her hand and squeezing lightly.

"It is my time Inuyasha. Promise me when ye find young Kagome again, take care of her" She said.

"Keh, You think I won't?" Was his whispered response.

"Goodbye Inuyasha. I need to go now"

"No! hold on in there" he said, shaking her hand lightly.

"I have lived a full life Inuyasha, it is my time to go, tell her I said goodbye, and the others, and my grandchildren" She whispered. Then her heart stopped, her breathing slowed to nothing, and her hand fell from his grasp.

Inuyasha and Shippo were there when Miroku died. Miroku was there when Sango died. It was all to much for Inuyasha. After there deaths he didn't speak for a month. They died within the same week.

Inuyasha hated death. No, He hated the death of people he cared about.

Shippo jumped into the Goshinboku next to Inuyasha. It was three months after Miroku's death.

"Inuyasha?" Shippo asked.

"What brat?"

"I miss them" He said. tears welling up in his eyes. "All of them"

Inuyasha let Shippo curl up in his lap, he petted the kitsune once, before whispering "Me too"

A/N: Kaede was talking about Sango and Miroku's kids, referring to them as her grandchildren - Fu Fu

At the end of this sequel, I will launch a new story, (No tittle picked as of yet) that will be an alternative Seqeul to this story. Together Forever is the sequel that comes of the original. While the new one, will come off the revised version. Does that make sense? Anyways, see yea! - Fu Fu
