The next few years were very eventful for Kagome, Hitaro stayed with them and helped immensely with her journey. He felt better knowing that Hiei and Yukina were safe in the stronghold of the west. Within two years the three of them with the help of Kagome's numerous allies had accomplished what it took her and Inuyasha to do in four. Kagome smiled sadly as she watched the children play. The final battle had been two days ago and she was disappointed that Inuyasha and Kikyo hadn't even been present on either side. Hitaro had come to sit next to her smiling.

"Are you thinking about him" He asked knowingly.

"Do you ever wonder about your mate Hitaro?" Kagome asked looking at him.

"I do not need, I know that she is dead, I know that they told her that we were killed and with the connection we have I know she died from grief." Hitaro said sadly "Do not worry for him, if he cared for you at all he would have appeared by now"

"I know he does not care, but I have no hatred in my soul, I worry for him because he was once a friend and I can not hate" Kagome said sadly looking at him.

"You are pure, Kagome, try not to think about it," He said both were on immediate alert as they heard Yukina cry. They looked up to see the very half demon that they had been talking about holding a struggling Rin.

"INUYASHA NO" Kagome screamed running forward only to be stopped when Kikyo came out holding a struggling Shippo.

"Get Shippo, I'll save Rin." Hitaro said nodding towards her as he drew his sword. He ran at Inuyasha screaming for his own children to run. Kagome began battling Kikyo for her son. She horrified when Kikyo stabbed Shippo in the heart and stomach killing him almost instantly before disappearing. She pulled him into her lap and held him crying.

"I'm sorry Shippo, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you" She sobbed.

"Love you Okaa-san I always will" He said before his eyes glazed over she looked up to see Inuyasha kill Rin and knock Hitaro out before going after Yukina. Kagome dropped Shippo's body to the ground and swept the little girl up receiving a large gash from Inuyaha's claws.

"Run Hiei, get Sesshomaru" Kagome said softly as she tried handing him his sister. He shook his head no and turned to face Inuyasha who had started chasing them. Kagome sighed and pushed Yukina into his hands and turned to face him on her own watching Hiei run towards Keade's hut. Sesshomaru arrived before Inuyasha could touch her.

"Go to the children Kagome." He commanded. She ran and hid watching the fight. Sesshomaru was holding his own but something was making Inuyasha stronger. She ran as Sesshomaru had commanded when Inuyasha shoved his sword into Sesshomaru's stomach. She reached the well. She was about to turn and get the children when an arrow pierced her shoulder knocking her into the well.

"Kagome" She heard as she faded in and out of consciousness. She felt strong arms lift her out of the well and carry her inside the house.

"Oh Dear, bring her upstairs Souta, I'm going to get the medical supplies." She heard her mother's voice. She then felt them lay her on her back and her mother forcefully pull out the arrow before stitching up her wounds and bandaging them. "Come Souta let her sleep, she'll be alright"

"Ok okaa-san" He said as the lights turned out and the door shut. Kagome felt herself fall into a complete sleep. The next morning she woke up and sighed wiping away the tears. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt to hide her wounds before walking down stairs to great her family, the completed Shikon Jewel around her neck.

"Morning Momma" She greeted sitting down.

"Good Morning Dear How is your arm" She asked worried.

"I'm fine Momma, my mission is finished" She informed them softly.

"I'm amazed; when you visited last week you only had a small portion of the jewel." Her mother said sitting breakfast down in front of her.

"How long have I been gone Momma?" She asked looking at her family.

"Two weeks dear, why do you ask?"

"Momma it's been three years" Kagome said shocked. "The well has never done this before"

"Maybe it knew that the mission you had would take more time than originally thought, and it made time pass differently so that you wouldn't miss out on anything here." Her mother said gently. "Now I want to know what has happened to you in the three years you have been gone"

"Oh momma, Inuyasha betrayed us all. He killed Sango and Miroku two years before the final battle, two weeks after their wedding, they were protecting me. I ran then to Sesshomaru, and met a fire demon. He was also running because he had mated an ice maiden and they wanted to kill his son and take his daughter from him. Together with Sesshomaru and our many allies we defeated Naraku. Inuyasha came back two days after that fight. He killed Shippo, Sesshomaru and Hitaro. Kikyo shot me into the well before I could get Hiei and Yukina, Hitaro's children. I feel so bad momma. I couldn't even protect my own son" Kagome cried into her mother's shirt.

"I'm sorry dear, truly I am" She said comforting her daughter. "Why don't you take a walk Kagome, clear you head and cry your tears in peace?"

"Alight Momma," Kagome said softly slipping on her shoes and walking into the vast forests that surrounded her shrine. She soon found the clearing where Sango and Miroku had been married. She sighed and sat down on next to the tree they had stood in front of while Keade performed the ceremony. She sat there remembering and crying when she felt two demon presences, though one felt slightly familiar. Soon a lumbering demon made its way into the clearing, eyes focused on her.

"GIVE ME THE JEWEL" it screeched running towards her. She sighed and used her powers to draw her bow.

"I don't think so"
