Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and co.

IMPORTANT Note: I know! I know! This is an extremely short story and I'm so terribly sorry! I posted up the previous chapter asking you guys if you wanted more ideas or just one final chapter. And I figured if you guys wanted more ideas I'd be completely screwed because it takes me a VERY long time to think of ideas, because (this I mentioned in an earlier chapter) then I would leave it aside and never get back to it again. So I hope you understand what I have done. And hopefully you enjoy this last chapter.

Second Thoughts: Although this is the end of the story, I am definitely going to add an epilogue, and I might add a sequel if you like. And I promise I won't take my word back this time.

Chapter 6: My Love My Fate

It was hard to board the airplane once again. I felt intense heartache about having to leave Tokyo again. More importantly, I felt heartache for having to leave Inuyasha again. Although we are divorced, he will always be my Inuyasha. The one who would always have the funniest ways of showing me he cared, although I've heard him say he loved me more times than I can count before I left him five years ago. He always had that goofy grin on his face – well, used to, before I got those jobs. Every morning, he would ask me where his suit was. It never occurred to him that I put it in the closet after I took it back from the dry cleaners.

It never occurred to me that I would lose him.

I've always felt a strong connection with Inuyasha, so until this day I don't exactly know why we are separated. I can tell myself it's because he cheated on me with my sister, but now that I mention the situation, I don't feel as bad as I did five years ago. In fact, I almost forgot about it. But I know that I would be lying to myself if I had made myself believe it was my sister's fault my marriage failed. It was then that something clicked in my head.

My marriage didn't fail. At all.

Marriage is when two people whom love each other want to spend the rest of their lives together, even if they actually end up doing it or not. Marriage is a commitment, a silent confession of love and compassion. The law uses marriage to bind two people together as well as their destinies. I find that my marriage didn't fail. My marriage taught me more about my identity than I could ever figure out on my own. Inuyasha taught me what it was like to love unconditionally, and to be loved in return. I have loved Inuyasha without regrets, even to this day, I have not regretted marrying him.

I smiled.

As I looked out the window onto the streets of Tokyo, I knew Inuyasha felt the same. "Excuse me, miss?" A deep voice said from beside me. "Hi there," A man smiled at me when I turned to look at him. "I'm Hojo." He placed his hand in front of me and I kindly shook it. When he stared at me with his chocolate-brown eyes, I realized he was waiting for an answer.

"Oh!" I exclaimed. "My name is Kagome. Kagome Higurashi." I smiled back at him.

"Are you from England, Kagome? I go there every year and I haven't seen you on this flight before." He questioned politely.

"Well, I moved to England five years ago. And I came back here to…well, um…finish some business." Hojo nodded slowly before turning back to me with a bright smile.

"Well, since you're staying in England now…would you like to accompany me to lunch when we get there?" I was shocked, I just got a divorce…was I really going to go on a date with Hojo? Was I even ready? Well, that was a stupid question. Of course I was ready…but was I willing to do it? Why was I feeling guilty that Hojo asked me out? It's not my fault he's showing interest in me!

"Actually Hojo, I just got out of a serious relationship…I don't think I'm – " he interrupted me, telling me it was alright. He scribbled down his phone number onto a scrap piece of paper and told me to call him anytime I wanted. I smiled to myself.

I wasn't going to call him any time soon, after all.

It was amazing; I came so close to telling Hojo I was married. I have lived in England for five years without Inuyasha, and I still wasn't used to be without him. Five years ago, I was afraid to leave him because I thought I couldn't live without him. I found that my love for him was so strong that I couldn't stand hurting him any longer. I was able to move on because I knew if I stayed with him, he would probably be more upset then he is now. I know Inuyasha will find another woman. For he deserves a woman who can give him something I can't.

He will have a woman who can give him all the happiness in the world, a family, and more importantly, time. He will meet a woman who will love him so much, she would wait for him no matter how long the wait actually was. I knew that I wasn't the right woman for him when I decided not to wait anymore. I grew tired of standing in the same spot, waiting for him. But just because I grew tired, doesn't mean I didn't love him with all my heart. Because I did. I loved him with everything I ever had, and at the time, I couldn't imagine life without him.

But what hurts the most about loving him, is that I actually can live without him.

I still love Inuyasha, and I'm afraid I always will. Although I will not see him anymore, his image and personality will be placed in my heart. The memories I have shared with him will be the ones I will cherish for the rest of my life, they are also going to be the ones I will not forget. I love Inuyasha for being such a big part of my life, and taking such a big part of my heart. For now I cannot live another, because I gave him my heart so long ago.

And I just realized that I never got it back.
