Chapter 30-Back to Normal

That night, everyone went to bed peacefully. Sesshoumaru and Kagome got to have Kaede's hut all to themselves since Sango and Miroku stayed in one of the houses. The fish Kagome had found delicious and now she was drinking a cup of water. She didn't understand why, but she felt like she could drink an ocean. After one cup, she would get more water and drink another cup full.

"It's because you are dehydrated. It's been awhile since you had some water." Sesshoumaru said, watching her finally set the cup aside.

"I'm going to pee in the morning." Kagome said with a giggle. She turned around and laid down beside Sesshoumaru. "Tomorrow morning I want a bath." She said, feeling as if she hadn't had a bath in days.

"Okay. What time do you want to get up?" He asked.

"At sunrise." She replied.

"You can't get up that early."

"Look who's talking. Before we left home, you wouldn't get up unless I pulled you out." Kagome retorted.

"Yeah, but you never succeeded doing that." He replied. "You're too weak."

"I wasn't too weak that time I pinned you down. Besides, you're fat and heavy." She said with a smirk on her face. 'Let's see what he'll say to that. The famously beautiful Sesshoumaru could never be fat.' She thought.

"I let you pin me down. And I'm not fat." He replied calmly.

"You let me pin you down that time, and let me believe that it was my own strength? That was mean!" She said, sitting up with her back to him and her arms crossed.

"I enjoyed it." He admitted and pulled her back down to him. Stretching his arm out he found her feet and tickled them. Kagome began thrashing until Sesshoumaru slid his hand up and around her warm stomach.

Kagome settled down as his hand caressed her middle, and within minutes she fell into a comfortable sleep.

Once Sesshoumaru knew Kagome was asleep, he also fell asleep with his hand still on her soft skin.

In the morning everything went as planned, although because of all the things that needed to be done, Kagome completely forgot about her bath. Men and demons were all outside helping with the next house. Even Sesshoumaru was outside helping with the new house. Occasionally he would glance over at Kagome to see where she was and what she was doing.

Kagome waved to Sesshoumaru when she saw him look at her. She was having a great time with Sango. Together they had gathered lots of pretty flowers which they had sitting in bundles on the small picnic table. On their way to find those flowers, Kagome had even found some good herbs to pick, which she put in a basket and planned on taking home with her.

Now they were working on what was going to be a beautiful cross. Sango had Kaede's name gracefully written across the horizontal piece with drawings of pink, yellow, green, and purple flowers around the letters. Kagome admitted that Sango was actually quite the artist.

While Sango finished decorating the cross, Kagome thought of some words to say at the little funeral service they were going to have for Kaede. They hadn't gotten a chance yet to tell the guys when the service was going to be. They figured the guys wouldn't really want to come anyway, they weren't very sentimental when it came to the death of people they didn't really know a whole lot.

Standing by the side of the house he was working on, Miroku began to sigh and complain, along with all the other men that were complaining.

"I'm sweating. It's too hot doing this. When is break?" The men were continuing to repeat.

"Guys we've only been working for two and a half hours, you can't be tired already." InuYasha said.

"We sure are." Miroku said.

"I have so many blisters." Another man complained.

"Keh! Humans." InuYasha said.

Sesshoumaru was thinking the same thing. He was a little more use to it though because of Kagome, but right now he figured Kagome didn't even complain this bad.

"Demons." All the men said at once.

"Oh alright. We'll take a break." InuYasha gave in, hopping down and going to see Kikyou.

Sesshoumaru headed over to see Kagome, followed by Miroku who headed for Sango.

"Hey! How's the house coming?" Kagome asked as she put down a flower bundle and walked to Sesshoumaru. "You can't be tired already." She said, not seeing a single sweat on Sesshoumaru.

"I'm not tired, but the humans were complaining so we all took a break. And why do you have Tensaiga on your side?" He asked. It wasn't hard to notice the big sword on the side of Kagome's little body.

Kagome looked down at the sword that she had put around her jeans. "I don't know. I've become attached to it I guess. Ever since the war I have always wanted it by my side." She said.

Sesshoumaru smirked like he was proud of Kagome for wanting the sword at her side.

"I came up with a name for my attack!" She said excitedly.

"Mm? What's that?" He asked.

"I named it Velvet Light." She said with a smile. "What?" She saw the funny look on his face.

"It's just like you to come up with a name for your attack." He replied.

"Well, what's wrong with that? Everyone else's attacks have names." She said, pulling out her sword and looking at the blade.

"That's true." He admitted.

"I used that attack quite a lot you know." She said.

"I know." Sesshoumaru said. He was enjoying listening to her talk. "You can have Tensaiga since you like it so much."

"Really? Awesome, I was going to keep it anyway. I wonder if I can ever figure out another attack with this thing." She said, more or less talking to herself.

"I don't think so."

"Why not?" Kagome asked, slightly disappointed.

"Because Tensaiga only had the power to heal, and that power put together with your miko power of compassion is what made that attack.

"I guess that's true." She said, putting the blade away.

"You know that once you are a few months in pregnancy that you won't be able to wear that sword." Sesshoumaru said.

"Why not?" Kagome asked.

"It's gonna get heavy on your side when your belly gets bigger. And stress on you while you are pregnant is not healthy." He replied.

"Hey if I'm going to have to go through nine months of you not letting me do anything, then I'm gonna be very angry at you." She said, pointing a finger at him.

"Nine months? What makes you think it's for nine months?" He asked.

"Because that's how long pregnancies are for." She answered.

"Not inu-youkai pregnancy. Since you're a human and have a half demon in you, we can probably expect the birth to be between six to seven months." He said.

"Really? That means I won't be pregnant for so long. My stomach will probably start getting bigger pretty fast then." Kagome replied, happy that the pregnancy wouldn't be for nine months.

Sesshoumaru nodded. He could understand why she was happy. He couldn't imagine having that large of a belly for that many months.

'I guess my flat stomach isn't going to be flat for much longer.' She thought.

"Hey! Sesshoumaru! Miroku! We're starting again!" InuYasha hollered from the not yet half-built house.

"Have fun!" Kagome said to Sesshoumaru as he left to build again.

When afternoon came around, Kagome and Sango had all the decorations on Kaede's grave finished and did a small service. Kagome said a few words and so did Oki, and also Kikyou. Surprisingly the men showed up, although the three of them didn't say anything, it meant something that they were there.

After the service was a small lunch and then everyone went back to work again. By now one house was already finished and they started on the fourth one. InuYasha was really happy with how great the houses were coming along, and thanked the demons for staying to help.

Everytime InuYasha jumped down from a house; he had thanks coming from the owners of it.

"How can we ever repay you." The mother of a family said.

InuYasha thought for a moment. "If you could find us some rice for supper then that would be great." He said. "I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of fish." He smiled down at the little girl that held her mother's hand.

"Me too!" The child replied in her cute, little girl voice and a large smile on her face followed by a giggle.

"Come on, let's see if we can get some rice for Master InuYasha." The mother said to her daughter. As they walked away, InuYasha heard the young girl say, "Master InuYasha is very kind, isn't he mommy."


By mid-afternoon another house was finished and they started on the third one for the day. Some of the humans by then were exhausted, so InuYasha let them go. Most of them went straight over to their wives and drank some water. Together the demons worked and finished the last house for the day by suppertime.

Supper had been prepared beautifully. There were all kinds of rice, thanks to the mother and daughter, and of course there was fish. Everyone ate happily and that night the village slept silently and peacefully. Before going to bed, Kagome remembered her bath because of how filthy she felt. So she grabbed a clean nightdress and began to walk towards the trees with Sesshoumaru watching out the hut window to make sure Kagome was okay. Sometimes it was annoying how overprotective he was. Before she went into the woods she heard footsteps behind her and turned around to find Kikyou following her.

"Kagome, are you going to the hotspring?" Kikyou asked.

"Yeah. I know it's late, but I really want a bath." Kagome answered.

"Do you mind if I come with you?"

"No, not at all. Actually it will be nice to have company." Kagome replied with a friendly smile.

Kikyou nodded and then walked along side Kagome until they got to the hotspring. The steam rising off the water into the chill of night looked so comforting. Both of them took off their clothes and walked into the warm water. Kikyou found a comfortable place against a rock and Kagome found a place to lean on a rock across from her.

"This feels great huh?" Kagome said, closing her eyes.

"Yes, it does." Kikyou replied and closed her eyes as well. Strangely, Kikyou always felt a certain tranquility whenever she was around Kagome. "Kagome."

Kagome opened her eyes and looked at Kikyou. "Yes." 'Wow, Kikyou really is a beautiful women.' She thought, seeing Kikyou's long black hair flow around her.

"I wanted to thank you. You came and told us all about a war that was coming, that none of us knew about. If it wasn't for you, we would probably all be dead. And it was you're compassion that made you fight against the war. Thank you." Kikyou said sincerely.

Kagome for a moment just stood staring at the priestess. She never thought Kikyou would ever thank her for anything. "It was nothing. I would never let a war come upon innocent lives if I could stop it. I'm very glad that you agreed to helping us." She smiled.

"InuYasha is still alive thanks to you. I don't know what I would live for if he was gone. That night when we were all in this hotspring; you made me realize that I fell in love with the hanyou InuYasha, not a human InuYasha. Thank you."

'That must be why she let Sesshoumaru have the jewel. She doesn't want InuYasha to turn into a human anymore. She loves him for who he is!' Kagome thought happily. "You're welcome." Kagome said with the warmest smile.


It took only three more days to get the village built back up. There were enough houses for all the families and a nice house for InuYasha and Kikyou. Kaede's hut was left for any visitors that may come to stay in the village in the future, and the one other hut that was left got turned into a place to store wood and food for the winter. They also used its cupboards to hold medical supplies like herbs and bandages.

"How's it look?" InuYasha asked Kikyou. They were standing a distance from the village.

"It looks great. It looks a lot bigger than it was before." Kikyou replied.

"Yeah, it does. I think this is just what the village needed." He said proudly. "All the demons are leaving tonight."

"That's good though because Priestess Oki really wants to get back to her village, and some of those demons are headed that way. So she will have somebody to travel with." Kikyou said.

"The village isn't that far is it?" InuYasha asked.

"No, they'd probably make it there by dark." Kikyou replied.

"Miroku and Sango already left. Did you get to say goodbye to them?"

"Yes, I did. They also helped out a lot." Kikyou said.

"Yes, they did."

"InuYasha! Kikyou!" Kagome hollered from near the forest. "We're gong to get Rin now. We should be back tonight!"

"Okay! Bring some ramen with you!" InuYasha yelled back.

Kagome smiled at his request for ramen and then entered the woods with Sesshoumaru. "I bet she is going to be happy to see us." Kagome said, excited to be going to get Rin. Rin always gets really sad when they leave her.

Arriving at the well, Sesshoumaru grabbed hold of Kagome and jumped down. When they landed in the modern era, they could tell it was just as sunny there as it was in the feudal era. There were sunbeams shining into the wellhouse. They opened the door and walked up to Kagome's mother's house.

Kagome was getting butterflies in her stomach from being so happy to see Rin. Lifting her arm, she knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Only, there was no answer. "I wonder where they could be?" Kagome said and turned the doorknob. She almost fell over when she leaned on the door and it swung open. "They don't usually leave the door unlocked either." She said, moving so that Sesshoumaru could get in.

As soon as they closed the door, Kagome turned around to face the kitchen and----

"SURPRISE!" Rin shouted and jumped out from under the table with Kagome's mom.

Kagome jumped out of shock and then smiled. There her cute little Rin was with open arms. Above the table was a long silver banner of colorful words saying; 'Welcome Back,' which was attached to the ceiling. Tied to all the chairs were balloons and on the table was a large chocolate cake. "Rin!" She said happily and went around the table to give her a big hug.

"Welcome back!" Rin said as she hugged Kagome. Then she detached herself from Kagome and went to hug Sesshoumaru.

"Kagome, I'm so glad that you're okay." Her mother said, giving her a hug.

'I'm okay thanks to Sesshoumaru and Kikyou.' She thought. "I told you I'd be back." She said, not seeing any reason why she should bother telling her mother that she almost died. Turning around, Rin stood there beaming at her. "Rin, thank you for this." She said while looking around at the balloons.

"Your welcome." Rin giggled.

"But how did you know we were coming back today?" Kagome asked.

"I didn't!" Rin replied quickly.

"She's had these decorations up for a few days and we've had the cake in the fridge. Rin just came up with this idea." Kagome's mom explained.

Before Kagome even sat down, she looked over and Sesshoumaru was already sitting at the table staring at the chocolate cake. "I think Sesshoumaru is going to like your cake." Kagome said. "Why don't we all sit down and talk about what's gone on." She suggested.

"Okay!" Rin said and hopped in a chair.

"Here's some plates and utensils for the cake." Her mother said, placing them on the table.

Kagome sat down and put a piece of cake on Rin's and her own plate. "So, how was your time here while we were gone?" She asked Rin.

"It was great! Grandma and me went out shopping and she got me some clothes! Then we went to the park and I got to feed the ducks. And last night we had hotdogs while watching TV!" Rin said.

'Grandma?' Kagome thought. She never heard Rin call her that before. "Well that's great. See it wasn't so bad being here for awhile."

"Nope. But I still missed you. Do you want to see the clothes I got!" Rin asked, stuffing another piece of cake in her mouth.

"Sure, I'd love to." Kagome said and watched as Rin took off upstairs to get her clothes.

Kagome looked over to see why Sesshoumaru was so quiet, not that it was abnormal or anything. But she found out why. She saw Sesshoumaru reaching for another piece of cake and then noticed that the cake was almost gone. "Sesshoumaru, how many pieces is that so far?" Kagome asked with an irritated look on her face.

Sesshoumaru stopped eating for a moment to think about her question. Lifting four fingers up he said, "four," and continued chomping on the delicious food.

"Mom, thank you so much for doing that for Rin. We didn't expect you to do all that with her." Kagome said appreciatively, and turned away from Sesshoumaru so she didn't have to watch him gobbling down all that chocolate. She wouldn't be surprised if he made himself sick again.

"It was nothing Kagome." Her mother replied with a warm smile.

"I got my clothes!" Rin hollered as she trampled down the stairs and ran in front of Kagome.

"Wow that's quite a bit of clothes." Kagome said, seeing the big pile in Rin's arms.

Rin dropped the pile on the floor and started picking up each clothing and showing them to Kagome. First she showed Kagome five pairs of jeans. Some had cute little butterfly patches on the pockets. Then she began to show all her cute T-shirts and long sleeved shirts. "This one's my favorite!" She said, lifting a purple shirt up that had a cat on the front. "It looks just like Buyo!"

"Wow, it does!" Kagome said, amazed at the clothes that her mom bought Rin.

"And this is the last one!" Rin said, holding up a silky red kimono with yellow flowers on it.

"They're all beautiful." Kagome said. Looking over at her mother she said, "how can we repay you for this?"

Her mother gave Kagome a smile. "Just come to visit more often." She said.

"Thanks mom." Kagome smiled and looked over at Sesshoumaru. To her surprise Sesshoumaru's plate was empty, but when she looked in the middle of the table she saw that all the cake was gone. "Sesshoumaru! I can't believe you ate all that! I bet my mom didn't even get to have a slice!" She said, angry at his rudeness.

"No, no don't worry Kagome. I had a slice." Her mother said. "The cake was for you two, Sesshoumaru just really enjoyed it."

"He's going to get himself addicted to chocolate. And we don't have chocolate in the feudal era." Kagome said, her eye twitching at the youkai.

Sesshoumaru just gave her the usual emotionless look and kept to himself like he was completely innocent.

Looking at Sesshoumaru made her remember the very important question she had to ask Rin. With a serious tone she turned to Rin. "Rin just yesterday, do you remember anything strange like a light come to you?"

Rin rolled her eyes up like she was thinking and then said; "yeah something did come to me. I was just walking into the living room when a pinkish light came through the door and then surrounded me for a moment. Then it left." She answered.

"Really? Did anything happen when it surrounded you?"

Now Sesshoumaru was listening intently.

"No. I felt weird for a second." Rin replied.

"Okay." Kagome said and then began to smile at Sesshoumaru. 'Yes! I think we have the same length of life as Sesshoumaru! This is our wish come true!' She thought.

Sesshoumaru barely smiled back, but Kagome knew he was smiling.

"I never seen any pink light." Kagome's mother said.

"You were upstairs when it happened." Rin said.

Kagome knew that it was a very big thing to tell her mother. How would you even bring it up to a mother? 'Hey mom, I'm just letting you know that I'm going to be living for over 600 years now.' Kagome thought sarcastically. It was something she knew she should tell her Grandpa too. "Mom there was a very important thing that happened when that light came to Rin. And it's something that I should tell you and Grandpa together. And Souta too." 'Not to mention that I also have to tell you that I'm pregnant too.' She thought.

"Well, Souta should be home from school soon." Her mother said.

"Do you know where Grandpa is?"

"I'm not quite sure. He said he had a few errands to run and a couple of people to visit, but he said he'd be back by suppertime." Her mother replied.

"Okay, that's good. Then we'll wait for Grandpa before I announce the news." Kagome said.

Kagome's mother had a slightly worried look on her face, wondering what her daughter could possibly tell her that would surprise her.

Until suppertime, Kagome and Sesshoumaru sat talking to her mother about what the war had been like and what happened (excluding the one main thing about Kagome). Rin sat on the floor beside Souta, playing a racing game with him. When Kagome's Grandpa arrived home, they had supper first and then they all gathered in the living room.

"Rin, this is going to surprise you too." Kagome said so that Rin would listen. "Would you like to tell them the first thing?" She asked Sesshoumaru. She knew he would probably answer no, but offered anyway.

"No." He said.

"Alright." She sighed. "That light that we were talking about. It happened to me too. Sesshoumaru was able to make a wish on the Sacred Jewel. And he wished that Rin and me would live as long as he will. So that light was from the jewel and when it touched us, we became practically immortal like Sesshoumaru." She said, watching their expressions.

"You mean…you will never die?" Her mother asked.

"No, I will die, but it means that I will live for over 600 years or even into the thousands. Same with Rin." She explained.

Kagome's mother took a moment to take in the information. At first she didn't know what to think of the news, but then she thought what she usually did. "Kagome, as long as this is what you want and you will be happy, then I will be happy for you." She said.

"Yay! I'm going to live forever with Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said joyfully.

"This is what I wanted. Actually it was one of the things that I wanted more than anything! Mom, could you imagine what it would be like for me and Rin to grow old right in front of Sesshoumaru, and him still be this young? It would be absolutely terrible." Kagome said.

"Yes, that would be terrible. I hadn't thought of that before." Her mother said.

"Kagome this is wonderful for you! You're going to experience this world's history." Her Grandpa said excitedly.

"So what's the second thing that you have to tell us?" Her mother asked.

Kagome smiled. "Well…I'm pregnant!"

"What! That means you have…!" Her Grandpa said in shock.

"Yes, that means I have a half demon inside me." Kagome gleamed.

"Congratulations Kagome!" Her mother said.

"You mean I'm going to have a baby brother or sister?" Rin jumped up happily.

"Yes you are." Kagome replied.

"Yay!"

"And I'm going to be an uncle." Souta said.

Kagome's mother was happy for Kagome, but she wasn't sure about her having a half demon. What would the half demon be like? If they came to visit with it, would it tear the house apart? 'No, Kagome would be a very good mother and teach it not to do bad stuff.' She thought.

'I'm so glad they all took the news well.' Kagome thought.

"So you're going to have a baby that will look like InuYasha?" Her Grandfather asked.

'Grandpa don't connect my baby to InuYasha.' Kagome thought, knowing that Sesshoumaru wouldn't like that at all.

"It would be a half demon like InuYasha, but that doesn't mean it will look like him." Sesshoumaru spoke up, making it clear that his child would not look like his half brother.

"Maybe it will look just like Sesshoumaru." Kagome said.

"Maybe."

"Ooo a baby Sesshoumaru! That would be so fun!" Rin said.

Kagome smiled at Rin and then turned to her mom. "Well, we should be going now. We told InuYasha and Kikyou that we would be back at the village tonight. Besides, we have to get a good sleep tonight since we have to travel back home tomorrow."

"I can't wait to get back home." Rin said. "I miss Buyo."

"Me too." Kagome said.

"Me and Rin had a great time together. I will miss you Rin." Kagome's mother said.

"I will miss you too." Rin said and got up off the floor to give her a hug.

"Once again, thank you so much for looking after her." Kagome said. "We'll be sure to visit soon."

"Anytime." Her mother replied.

"Let's get going Rin." Kagome said, getting up and heading to the door. Once they had their shoes on, they went out the door.

"Until next time!" Kagome's mother called and waved.

"Until next time!" Rin waved back and dropped a few of her clothes again.

Once they were at the wellhouse, Kagome remembered something. "Oh no! I have to go back and get InuYasha's ramen." She said and passed the clothes that she was holding into Sesshoumaru's arms, and then took off back to the house.

"You'll get InuYasha his ramen, but get me nothing?" Sesshoumaru said.

Kagome sighed. "I'll get you something too." She hollered and then burst back into the house.

"Kagome, what are you doing?" Her mother asked as Kagome raided the kitchen cupboards.

"I almost forgot InuYasha's ramen." Kagome replied, throwing five cartons of ramen into a grocery bag.

Kagome's mother giggled. "He still eats that stuff."

"Apparently. Mom do we have any chocolate? Bars, poptarts, Oreo's, anything?" She asked in a hurry.

"Yes, we have Oreos in that cupboard." She answered.

Kagome grabbed the package of Oreos and then ran to the door. "Sorry mom, I'll pay for it next time." She said. "What's wrong?" She stopped when she seen tears in her mother's eyes.

"My little baby had grown up. You're having a child." She answered, holding in her tears so she wouldn't make Kagome worry.

"Yes, I have. And you raised me well. I will take care of my baby like you have me." Kagome said, giving her mother a big hug. Then she turned around and went out the door.

"I love you!" Her mother yelled and waved.

"Love you too!" Kagome replied and got back to the well where Sesshoumaru and Rin were waiting. "Alright let's go."

They all jumped into the well and landed in the feudal era. Sesshoumaru got them out of the well and they headed back to the village. Upon exiting the forest they saw InuYasha and Kikyou sitting outside their house, enjoying the sunset. InuYasha saw them quickly and ran over.

"Do you have my ramen?" He asked, stopping in front of Kagome.

"Yes. Here they are." She said, taking out the Oreos and passing InuYasha the grocery bag.

"What are those?" InuYasha asked, seeing the bag of Oreos. Moving closer he kept sniffing at the blue and white package.

"Stop that." Kagome said, moving the Oreos higher everytime he got closer.

"Can I try one?" The hanyou said.

With that Sesshoumaru grabbed the Oreos out of Kagome's hands and glared at InuYasha. "They're mine." He said.

"Fine, ramen's better anyway." InuYasha replied and began walking back to Kikyou. "Hey Kagome! You going to cook these for me!"

"After all the times you've watched me cook them, don't you know how to do it yourself yet?" She replied.

"I've tried it, but everytime I do it the ramen seems to still be kind of hard."

"That's because you're impatient!" Kagome felt her eye twitching. "Get Kikyou to do it for you!"

"Alright." The hanyou said as he got back to his house. "Kikyou, cook these for me." He handed the bag to Kikyou.

Kikyou glared at her mate. "Say please first."

"Kikyou, cook these for me please."

"Man, he's hopeless." Kagome said and looked at Sesshoumaru. "And you're just as bad." She said when she saw Sesshoumaru beside her, stuffing his face with cookies. Once they caught up to InuYasha, Kikyou was staring at the foreign object.

"Kagome, how do you cook these?" Kikyou asked.

"Well first all you have to do is get some water boiling. Since InuYasha is going to eat all of them at once you need a very large bowl and a lot of boiling water. When the water is done boiling, pour it in the bowl full of noodles and then let it sit for five minutes." She explained.

"That's not hard. How could you not know how to do that?" Kikyou asked, looking at InuYasha.

"I already said, when I do it the ramen is still kind of hard."

"Probably because you don't wait for five minutes." Kikyou replied.

"Exactly. He's too impatient." Kagome said. She then turned around to find Sesshoumaru holding an empty package of Oreos, and she sighed.

Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Rin stayed comfortably in the visitor's cabin that night. Before they went to sleep, Kagome and Rin played a couple games of I Spy. The next morning, they woke up to a cold dawn, and got ready to leave. Rin had put on two layers of tops since it was chilly.

"Feels like autumn's here." Kagome said and looked out the hut door. There was even a touch of frost on the ground.

"Kagome, dress warmly. It's even colder up in the air." Sesshoumaru said. He was glad to be getting home now before winter came and it got even colder. And who knew if his palace is still standing with only Jaken to look after it.

When all three of them were ready, they left the hut, and Kagome ran over to say goodbye to InuYasha and Kikyou.

"Thank you for warning us about the war." InuYasha said sincerely.

Kagome nodded. She was so happy that InuYasha was alive. "I wonder what the future is going to be like with demons around?"

"If fate wants it that demons don't exist in the future, then they won't. But if this war was meant to be defeated and the demons live, then things will still be like now; with demons roaming the earth with humans." Kikyou said.

Kikyou saying that put a fear in Kagome's heart that something else might happen again to rid of the demons, but she quickly tried to get rid of the thought. "I think it will be great with demons in the future, just like it is now, right here." Kagome smiled.

Kikyou nodded to Kagome and they exchanged a thank you through their gaze.

"Alright Kagome. Let's go." Sesshoumaru said.

Kagome and Rin went on either side of Sesshoumaru and let him pick them up to fly back home.

"Goodbye!" Rin shouted and waved at InuYasha and Kikyou.

Well I'm pretty sure the next chapter is the last one for this story. But the sequel will quickly follow! Next chapter is to be posted on October 7th! And I have to go quick cause my sister wants the computer!
