Hey guys! So how do you feel about this so far? Please tell me! Oh, and I had to add the recap of the ending I LOVED it so much! This chapter's beginning is for fluff lovers, but not to much fluff.

Chapter 30: A Shooting Star

Recap:

"Promise we'll have a happy ending together."

"Kagome, I promise that wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you, whatever it takes or how my how much pain I go through I'll be right here, always... always with you. There will never be an ending to our love. You see, we won't live a happy ending... we will live a happy beginning."

Back to the story

Kagome listened to Inuyasha's words intently and felt a need for him. He was everything to her. He meant more than anything else in the world could. It truly was love for all time. His words brought tears to her eyes once more, but she didn't shed them for Inuyasha's sake. She turned around towards him and looked deeply into his eyes.

"You mean it?" She asked.

"Would I ever lie to you?" Inuyasha asked with a grin. He expected a smart alack response, but instead he was answered with a sweat, loving kiss. The kiss was a kiss like she had never kissed him before. Her lips were warm and sweat. He licked her bottom lip to deepen it and she allowed him to do so. Their tongues explored one another's mouths. They were truly lost in love, in each other's souls. (A/N: Sorry about the fluff, but I thought it fit.)

Kagome soon kneeled up as she kissed him. She then straddled him and he fell back with her still on top kissing him. Their hands were entwined and their fingers played with each other.

Kagome pulled back with a smile. She have Inuyasha a few more kisses on the lips and then pulled off of him. As soon as she pulled away, he pulled her in and kissed her once more.

They pulled apart after a few minutes and sat up. The sky was now covered in stars. It was a like a bunch of city lights, except a million times more beautiful. The two stared up at the sky and held one another. Soon Kagome noticed a shooting star and closed her eyes praying and making her wish. 'I wish that we truly will live forever in an unbreakable love.' She opened her eyes and say the shooting star leave behind something which looked like a rainbow. She awed at the beauty of it.

Inuyasha pondered over his own impotent thoughts. "Kagome is better than ramen, much, much better." Inuyasha smiled to himself. Kagome was everything to him. She had truly given him everything he could have asked for, she was the cork filling the whole that was once his heart. She gave him friends, trust, love, a pup...

"Inuyasha?" Kagome spoke again. Inuyasha looked over at her with a smile.

"Yeah?" He asked. His voice was a sweat whisper. A sweat song to Kagome's heart.

"You know I'm not really that sad about what happened anymore... I've decided I should listen to my own words. I should really leave that past in the past. I mean it's fine to mourn over loss, of course it is, but what happened to me so long ago, had actually happened so long ago. Please don't feel guilty if you have to kill Soshi. For blood his is my father, but for true he isn't... he left, and that gives him no right to be my father..." It was a little hard for Kagome to say, but isn't always hard to admit the truth?

"I promise I will never leave you or the pup, if that's what your worried about."

"No, Inuyasha I know you wouldn't ever leave, I speak the truth... the whole truth, and nothing, but the truth." Kagome giggled. She wasn't aware she was saying something you would say in court until she finished.

"What's so funny, wench." Inuyasha asked. He wasn't saying 'wench' in an annoyed tone, he was saying it in a playful one.

"Nothing, never mind." Kagome said. Was sitting in Inuyasha's lap and rested her head on his shoulder. "You know soon you won't want me sitting in your lap any more. I'll be big and fat."

"Feh, I am not a weakling, remember. Anyway, after the kid is born you'll probably be back to normal. Not like it makes you any less beautiful."

"Why, Inuyasha, that's the first time you ever complimented me, I'm flattered." Kagome giggled.

"It is not, I compliment you all the time, you just don't hear me."

"Maybe that's because you don't say it out loud." Kagome replied. Inuyasha kissed her on the forehead.

"Get some rest." He said. "I'll take you back." He stood up with Kagome bridal style and walked back towards where Kaede's village was.

Meanwhile

Soshi had watched the whole scene with Kagome and Inuyasha on the hill. He had heard every word. He was angered some when Kagome said she didn't care if Inuyasha killed him, but when she said why, he knew she had a point. He saw the love in their eyes as they looked at one another. Would it truly be best to hurt them? They had finally found true love in one another. He felt a yearning to be with Kagome's mother. He had loved her and hated leaving her. He left so Kagome and Sota could have a normal life. A life with out him around. He didn't want to be the useless father he was, but he noticed they got along quite well without him there, so he left them be. He knew his grudge was stupid and he hadn't wanted to keep it going. The thing was it was all he had to live for... his children didn't care whether he lived or died. He didn't know whether Kagome's mother still cared for him and would it matter if she did. Would she even allow him to return to her.

He had challenged Inuyasha knowing and planning on loosing. He wanted to die, because over the years his heat had grown colder to the point he hadn't cared whether he lived or died. He lived to show Kagome her past and who her father was, knowing she questioned herself about it, knowing she had no idea once before. He thought it would be good to show her what her past was like and fill in some emptiness she had, but it made things more complicated. He hadn't noticed earlier, but Inuyasha had already filled in the gap that was missing from her life.

He sighed. He wanted to be her protector, her father, but Inuyasha had taken the position of her protector, and mate. He had become the father to her pup and the light in the darkness for her. For Inuyasha Kagome had the same influence on him. When Inuyasha was young Soshi had stopped by to see him, to see how the other hanyou of the pack was doing. He felt sorry for Inuyasha. He was picked on and called a dirty half breed by the villagers. He was ignored by the elders and almost killed by demons.

Soshi felt a sense of guilt at these thought. Inuyasha had, had a horrible childhood, yet Soshi treated him like he had, had worse. Inuyasha truly was a hero. He lasted so many times of be beaten, ridiculed, hated, taunted, yet he still had love... love for Kagome. He still protected humans even thought they treated him like scum when he was younger. He still had the will, the courage to live a happy life. While Soshi, himself, on the other hand couldn't bare living any father than he had. It had hurt long enough for him and he wanted nothing more than for the pain to end. In death Soshi could be at peace. That's all he ever really wanted was peace.

Well he had of course always wanted his family first. His family which he once loved so dearly and they loved him. He still loved them and if they all remembered they would probably still love him too, because you can't stop loving some one and that was clear. Once you loved the love would continue, even if from it you were hurt.

Soshi had heard about Inuyasha and Kikyo. Soshi knew it was impossible for Inuyasha to ever have actually loved Kikyo. If he had, he probably wouldn't have been able to move on with Kagome, but he had proven he could move on and with Kagome by his side, showing the only reason he ever cared about Kikyo was because he had pitied her, because she had a life somewhat like his, in which they were both different from others. Inuyasha also knew now that Kagome also had a life different from others, but he loved Kagome long before he knew, so that didn't change much.

Soshi let his thoughts consume his mind.

Meanwhile

Inuyasha arrived at the hut with Kagome. She was almost asleep in his arms. The fire in the hut was lit. They were both to tired to care about dinner and only wanted to sleep in each others arms at the moment. As they entered everyone looked at them. Kaede was over in the next village helping the wounded at the moment. Shippo was sitting with Kirara in their sleeping, bottom, left corner. Sango and Miroku were in the upper, left corner like always. They were sitting against the wall looking into the fire, but they just looked at Inuyasha and Kagome when they entered.

Inuyasha knew they were looking, but ignored it. He lied Kagome down in the large, two person sleeping bag, she slept in the part closest to the wall. Inuyasha got under with her.

Miroku and Sango had stopped looking and decided to rest like Inuyasha and Kagome, so they gathered together and prepared for sleep as well.

As warm as the spring say was, the nights were freezing. Kagome shivered a little. When Inuyasha saw this he pulled her against him tightly and rested his head above hers. She yawned into his chest and took that time to fall asleep. Inuyasha soon followed.

No words where necessary for them all to understand their meaning that night. They all knew what was soon going to take place and knew life was headed in whatever direction fate decided to lead it. There was nothing they could do about it.
