Chapter 18: In your arms

Inuyasha helped me up and we all began to walk back to Kaedea's village…Wow to think that I'm going back to that village…it's crazy…I can't believe I'm back home…I'm home. There's so many things I'm so excited to see…excited to do.

"…Is Kagome…"Inuyasha started as I turned to him as tears still streamed down my rosy cheeks.

"…I believe so…She has to make a choice." I told him as he smiled

"Just wait, she'll come for you." I said to him

"Yune, I think you will be happy to see what we have to show you." Miroku said as I turned to him and smiled

"Speaking of which…Children?" I said as Sango blushed

The two little girls held Miroku's hands and Sango held a newborn in her arms…Wow, so they got hitched. That's so cute, I'm happy for them. I'm just surprised Miroku has stopped being a pervert but for her I guess I can see him giving up his life…

"Congratulations." I said to the both of them as they nodded.

We got to the entrance of the village and I smiled as the wind came around my body again. I saw the people working in the fields, the people smiling enjoying their lives. Nothing has changed, besides the peaceful aura nothing has changed.

"Yune…someone's been missing you a lot." Sango said as Sesshomaru popped into my head.

"Really?" I asked as all of a sudden I heard a gasp and the sound of something dropping to the ground.

I turned towards the street leading straight down through the village. I couldn't believe my eyes…Rin…She was taller now and wore a blue kimono. It was tied back with a green bow. She had dropped a basket of herbs on the ground and had tears coming down her cheeks. Beside her was Lady Kaedea.

My knees buckled and hit the ground. My body's weight went against the hells of my feet that were perked up. Inuyasha and them starred at me, giving me a confused look. But they didn't know what it was like…To lose everything and than in two seconds have someone so important to you, standing right there in front of me…

Rin ran past Kaedea and the basket. She ran up to me and immediately went into my open arms. Her arms wrapped around my neck and I hugged her. The tears came like rivers down my face. My sword fell to the ground beside me.
"R-R-Rin." I said as she let me out of her massive hug.

She starred at me with her tear filled eyes. She sniffled a bit but smiled. I could tell she missed me…a lot.

"I-I'm so sorry Rin…I didn't mean to leave for so long…" I said as she smiled

"I-I'm just happy you're back home Yune." She said as I chuckled a bit.

"I promise I won't go anywhere again." I told her

"I know."

I stood up as Rin grabbed my hand. She than brought me away from Inuyasha and them. I gave them a small wave but they knew that Rin and me needed to catch up. Rin brought me into Kaedea's house were we sat down.

"Well what have you been up to?" I asked her as she smiled.

"Kaedea has been teaching me how to be a normal human in a village. So this way I can choose between being with Sesshomaru and here. Though I'll be honest, I'll still go with Sesshomaru. I've missed you like crazy Yune! Oh I've also made this for you…I knew you'd come back to us, Yune. Nobody was as sure as I was." She said as she grabbed something from behind her.

"Rin you didn't have to make me anything." I told her

"Nonsense. You have to look pretty when Sesshomaru comes back for you."

"He's not dating someone else?"

Rin shot me the glare of 'Really? You serious?' I laughed at how stupid my question actually was.

"He…couldn't." Rin stated as I gave her a worried look at her gloomy tone.

"What's wrong?" I asked as she put a box wrapped on her lap.

"…Yune, Sesshomaru's been a wreck since you've been gone…You were everything to him. And to have you ripped out like that…well he's never been the same. He comes to visit me every now and than but I can tell…he wishes you were here…by him. No one believes me but he's crushed. He loved you…and for the first time he was happy. But Naraku…he…took his heart away." Rin explained as I looked away.

"…I've been the same. I've been nothing but lost…"

"…Well don't worry about it too much Yune. Sesshomaru is due to be back here in a day or two. Than you two will be reunited."

"…So what do you mean by look pretty for him when he comes back for me?"

"…I made you a kimono! It's beautiful and just for you. And Sango agreed to do your hair! Yune, you have to make Sesshomaru blush at your beauty."

"…Oh Rin, you haven't changed a bit."

"Now here's your gift."

She passed me the box. I undid the bow on top and looked at the well kept brown box. I opened it up and gasped when I did.

It was a beautiful kimono…Rin was right. It was a medium purple color, more dark than light. It had pink flowers that were very tiny coming from the right shoulder. They ended before they reached the chest. Then the pink flowers were crawling up the large sleeves of the kimono. Though they stopped before they reached where the arm would be. The pink flowers also crawled up the end of the kimono but ended at the knees. On top of the kimono was a blue bow that was made to be tied up right after the breasts.

"Wow…Rin thank you so much!" I said as she smiled

"I'm glad you like it." She replied

"Alright…Let's bedazzle Sesshomaru." I said as she laughed.

(Time passed.)

I walked out of the house wearing that beautiful kimono that Rin made for me. It's only been about 2 days since I've been back home but I knew that Sesshomaru was coming. I wanted to look my best. That's why Sango even did my hair. She had two strands of my hair spiraled up and tied to the back of my head. It only spiraled around the skull of my head not the entire hair. The hair that was let loose after the spiraling just went into with the other straight strands of hair. At the side of the two strands was pink flowers that Sango had gently put in. I had two bangs that were at the sides of my cheeks. I also had other strands of my hair come down into my face. The rest of my hair was straight.

They really went far with this hair stuff huh? Not my fault…ok just a tad…okay so maybe 99.9% of this hair thing was my idea but hey a girl wants to impress right?

I saw Inuyasha running past me and going towards the well. What the hell? I ran after him, to the best of my abilities without tripping, and followed him through the forest. When I got to the clearing my eyes widened at who was there…Inuyasha had his hand intertwined with the girl who was floating above the well…K-Kagome…
"…Kagome…" My voice said as she turned to me

"Yune! You made it here!" She said as I smiled.

"Yes…I did." I told her as she smiled.

"Kagome-chan!" I heard Sango's voice say from behind me.

"Sango! Miroku…Shippo!" Kagome said as they all began to converse.

I was so happy for Kagome. She had made the choice to follow her heart. And it brought her here. So I guess her family is okay with her being here. Everyone began to walk back to Kaedea's village telling Kagome their lives in a 2 minute break down. I smiled and followed them back as well.

Everyone took Kagome and began to converse with her. I didn't want to intrude so I let them go without me. Besides Kagome hasn't seen them in three years. She hasn't seen me in a week. So I went into the Kaedea's house and looked around for Rin.

"Are you looking for Rin, Lady Yune?" I heard a voice say from behind me

"Yeah." I said as I nodded to the villager.

"She went with Lady Kaedea to go get some more herbs. If you wait here I'm sure she will come back." He said as I nodded

"Thank you."

"Your welcome."

The villager passed by me and I smiled. Maybe I'll take a stroll in the streets…Maybe there is something I can help the villagers with. I walked down the street and turned to my right. There I saw Inuyasha and Kagome standing on top of a hill. Of course he was kissing her. Bleh, who wants to watch a make out session, not me! I quickly turned my attention towards the left and looked at the flowing river that was going through the village. I smiled as I looked at my reflection.

"Yune!" I heard Rin yell as I turned towards where the voice was.

I saw Rin coming down a hill. I smiled and waved to her. She stopped walking halfway down the hill. Her eyes widened but her smile grew. I gave her a confused look as I let my arm drop to my side. She wasn't starring at me but something to the right of me…So I turned to the right and freaked.

Before I had any chance to stop myself, I jumped. I fell straight into the river and felt the water soak parts of my kimono, my face and my hair. I looked up at the man…Sesshomaru. His eyes were widened at the fact that I was here. That I was home.

"S-Sesshomaru!"I yelped as he had a couple tears come down his face.

As I looked upon the Sesshomaru I had remembered…I began to remember something. His words…spoken to me. Ones I couldn't remember…until now. It was during that one time where Naraku was tearing us apart….

"…Yune, don't be scared…Don't be sad. I'll be there no matter where you go. I know I haven't been able to say it…but I do Yune…I love you…" His voice had said to me sending a chill through my spine.

"Y-Yune." Sesshomaru said as he held a hand to me.

I grabbed it and his hand tightened around mine. My cheeks burned up as he pulled me up. He pushed me into him and his arms came around me. His hands gripped on my arms and I put my arms around his waist.

"Y-Your home." His voice said in my ear

"I'm back…" I said as he loosened his grip around me.

I starred into his eyes as tears came down my face. We were together again…His lips pressed against mine and I kissed him back. Finally my heart was whole….
