Thanks for all the reviews guys :) My story is coming to an end but thank you for all the support :)
ENJOY!
Last Time:
"Boo!"
"Ahhh!" Kagome fell back. "Rin? What are you doing?"
The girl laughed but then quickly stopped. "Hey, you look different Kagome." Rin said.
"Wait a minute." Kagome said. "Rin, you're a little girl again."
"But Kagome, I've always been little. I'm eight remember?"
"Oh my God, I'm still dreaming." Kagome said. "What year is this?" She asked little Rin.
"It's the year of the Sengoku Jidai Kagome." Rin said smiling.
"I'm in the past. The feudal Era." Kagome whispered to herself.
Now:
"Oh no." Kagome began as she sat and began taking deep breaths. "No no no no no. This can't be happening."
"Kagome?" Little Rin asked.
"I'm not supposed to be here." Kagome spoke aloud as if talking to herself.
Little Rin giggled. "Kagoooommmeeeee?" She sang.
"How am I supposed to get back. They all probably think I'm dead and now they're going to die by Naraku." Kagome whined.
Little Rin's eyes widened. "You're facing Naraku again?" She spoke loud making Kagome look at her. "I knew it, you're from the future. Lady Kaede was right." Little Rin said excitedly.
Kagome looked at her confused. "You know where I come from?"
Little Rin nodded her head. "Lady Kaede said you would return once more even though you're still here. She said that it was because Naraku wasn't dead. Now you're here and you can end Miroku's curse and you can live happily ever after." Little Rin chimed.
"Miroku's curse? What do you mean?"
"Let me show you." Little Rin said pulling Kagome's hand. She took her near a village and they both hid behind tall grass. Little Rin sprayed Kagome with some perfume that wreaked of cow dung. "This is to hide both our odors so they won't find us." Little Rin said. "Naraku placed a curse in Miroku's family that every male will carry the wind tunnel until it sucks them up. We don't know when his time will come but he already has a child on the way with Lady Sango." Little Rin explained all while sounding cheery.
"But the Miroku from my time doesn't have that curse." Kagome whispered.
"That's because Lady Kaede put a spell on it so it can stay hidden." Little Rin answered.
Kagome looked over at Miroku. He was wearing a purple monk outfit with the familiar gold staff in his hands. She saw Sango appear from the hut with a big belly. Kilala was there beside her. 'They look so happy.' Kagome thought. "Rin. Why am I here?" She asked quietly.
Little Rin looked at her smiling. "Lady Kaede said you would return to ask for help in destroying Naraku." Little Rin answered. "So, what are you looking for Kagome?"
Kagome thought about it real hard. "Naraku attacked me. He probably has the sacred jewel."
"He has the sacred jewel?" Little Rin whispered loudly. Kagaome nodded shamefully. "You are probably having an out-of-body experience." Little Rin added.
Kagome looked at her surprised. "You know what that is? How do you know that?"
"Lord Sesshomaru told me. He said sometimes it is the final key to understanding what you are meant to do. I think the word he said was destiny." Little Rin answered softly sounding more mature with her use of language.
Kagome stared at her and thought of Rin from her time. She knows she's in love with Sesshomaru and she remembers what she read in Sango's book. She smiled at Little Rin knowing her future. She then looked back towards Miroku and Sango and gasped. There she saw Inuyasha walking to Miroku with a look of confidence. Sesshomaru was behind him looking very serious with cold expressions in his eyes. He said 'hello' to Miroku and Sango. Kagome giggled at the tone of his voice. 'He sound so proud and mighty. Does he really have to speak in third person though?' Kagome placed her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing. She saw Shippo running to Kilala and played. Then she held her breath. She saw herself wearing clothes from her time. Her old self walked to Inuyasha and gave him a kiss. Kagome blushed and looked away.
"Why did I stay with him?" Kagome asked sounding sad.
Little Rin looked at her. "Because you love each other." Little Rin felt sympathetic toward Kagome. "Don't you love Master Inuyasha?" Kagome didn't know how to answer. She wanted to cry. She looked down and sighed. "Before we sent Naraku away, you asked yourself that question. Lady Kikyo was still alive at the time but Master Inuyasha said he wanted you. If he died, he wanted you to know that he loves you." Rin explained.
The group fought tooth and nail trying to save Kagome from Naraku. They felt hopeless. Naraku used Kagome's power against them. Inuyasha called out her name but there was no sign of reaching to her. She looked like stone against Naraku's deformed body.
"Inuyasha! Don't give up!" Miroku yelled as he pushed him away from Naraku's tentacle.
"She can't hear me." Inuyasha said quietly. "No matter what I do, my voice doesn't go through to her."
"And how do you think Sango and Rin feel knowing that their voice can't get through the person they consider family?" Miroku asked annoyingly. "They are not giving up and I doubt Kagome isn't trying to get out of his hold. Now you will not give up on her because Sesshomaru and I are not giving up on you." Miroku said trying to give him hope.
"I don't know if I can." Inuyasha added.
Miroku slammed him against a tree in frustration. "Stop acting like a fucking child! We're risking our lives for the woman you love and you already want to give up? God dammit Inuyasha, grow up and face Naraku for the monster he really is." Miroku said running back to help his friends. Inuyasha watched him run and attack Naraku. 'Do I really love Kagome?' Inuyasha thought.
"If I stayed for him, why are there two of me in two different places at the same time? It doesn't make any sense." Kagome said walking back to where she first met Little Rin.
"You don't exist yet Kagome. Because you stayed here, you changed the future. But your mission is not done yet which is why you are there in the future and not here in the past. The Kagome from this time is your great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmamma." Little Rin explained.
Kagome's eyes couldn't get any wider. "Your intelligence at this age ceases to amaze me."
Little Rin smiled. "Really? Where do babies come from?"
Kagome laughed. "You'll know one day." She answered rubbing her head. "Wait, how did we get rid of Naraku from here?" She suddenly asked.
"That's easy!" Little Rin exclaimed. "We stayed together." She bluntly answered.
Kagome stayed quiet as if waiting for her to further explain. "That's it?" Little Rin nodded roughly while smiling that big smile of hers. "We defeated Naraku because we stayed together?"
"Well you said- I mean you from this time said that Lady Midoriko told you that. So we all stayed together." Little Rin answered. Kagome looked at Little Rin's smiling face. She understood and she couldn't contain the tears that fell. She fell to her knees and cried out all the pain and replaced it with joy. Little Rin placed her little arms around Kagome and held her. "You from this time said that it all became clear when you heard a voice." Little Rin added. "So Kagome." Little Rin said smiling but sounding triumph with victory in her eyes. "Do you hear a voice?"
Kagome looked at Little Rin smiling. And then she heard it. She turned around as if the voice was behind her. In the little pond, she saw her friends trying to rescue her. She noticed her body was attached to Naraku and her eyes were black. "Naraku is using the power of the jewel inside my body to attack my friends." Kagome said shockingly. Then she heard it again. Her name was being called. She leaned over the pond and saw Inuyasha leaning against a tree whispering her name.
"Kagome, come back to me." She heard him say. "I love you." Kagome gasped. He loved her and she couldn't help the smile and the tears. "Oh Inuyasha." She began. "I love you too." She said placing her hand in the water as if caressing Inuyasha's face. Then she saw him look up as if he was looking at her. "Kagome? Are you there?" He raised his hand in the air extended. Kagome didn't know what to do. She placed her extended hand on the water as if her hand and his hand touched. She felt him. He felt her.
Inuyasha was in shock. He heard Kagome saying she loved him back. He couldn't tell if he was just imagining it. He reached his hand in the air as if she was there. Then he felt her. He knew it was her and it wasn't his imagination. He smiled but then looked at her body attached to Naraku's body. He became enraged. His body began to transform into his demon from. 'No! It will not control me again! I have Kagome to save than go on blood lust rampage.' Hi demon side fought to be released. His eyes turned red and his claws extended but he continued to fight against it. He unsheathed his sword and attacked Naraku while still fighting his transformation. Sesshomaru and Miroku became worried and fought around him so Naraku wouldn't sneak up on him.
Rin looked at Kagome's eyes. They didn't glow so black anymore. They were just dark. "Sango, look!" Sango looked at Kagome and smiled.
"She's coming back to us." Sango said.
"We have to fight off Naraku for Inuyasha to get to her." Rin said.
They were both tired and they had opened wounds that weren't fatal. "We might die." Sango said.
"We might all die." Sesshomaru said from behind. The girls faced him.
"For justice, any day." Jaken said confidently.
"For my cousin. Any day." Rin added. Sango nodded.
"For our future sister-in-law." They heard Miroku say.
"Let's help them both." They heard Kikyo say. The group smiled.
"Then what are you all waiting for?" They heard Shippo yell.
"Stop wasting time and help Kagome." Kaede added.
The group ran in different directions of Naraku. Naraku laughed and unleashed his and Kagome's power at them while trying to kill Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, get to Kagome!" Miroku yelled.
Jaken went with Kikyo who stared at one of the tentacles behind Naraku. 'You destroyed my happiness all those years ago. But not this time!' Kikyo thought as she pierced his tentacle with her arrow. Naraku yelled in agony. Most of his body released dead carcasses that replaced his tentacles. Naraku used the dead corpses as his tentacles and continued to attack the group. He brought up an army of the dead from beneath the floor to attack the group.
"We can't fight them all." Rin stated.
Miroku became nervous and thought of his biological father. He remembered talking of a curse. He shut his eyes to remember. His father was fighting for his life and he placed his hand outward and sucked up a demon. Miroku opened his eyes and instantly faced his palm outward. He felt his hand burn as if his skin was being torn off. It lasted a couple of seconds until a large hole appeared in the center of his palm and sucked up the entire dead army. He closed his palm and the vortex in his palm closed. He faced his hand in surprise. "I can control it." Miroku whispered in surprise. Rin smiled at him.
"The curse still exists within your family!" Naraku laughed.
"Then why can I control it without holy beads?" Miroku smirked. "It is a gift now." Miroku smiled. He knew his father was looking down at him with a proud smile.
Sango remembered in her vision that her family came from a village of demon slayers. She had a little brother she loved dearly. Her tears fell. How she wished to have father like long ago. She climbed on Kilala and flew by Naraku and released her Hiraikotsu. It sliced through all his tentacles of dead corpses. Naraku released some of Kagome's power hitting Sango. She flew back and landed on the floor. Sesshomaru watched Miroku run to Sango's side along with Kilala.
He looked at the sliced tentacles. The way the bodies were connected and how he saw the little demons surrounding them. His sword began to shake. He looked down at his father's sword and unsheathed it. "They want to be alive again." He said. He turned to Naraku fighting his brother who still fought his demon transformation and he saw Rin dodging Naraku's attack trying to land a hit on him. "The people I love. That is what father wanted me to realize. To protect the people I love." Sesshomaru raised his father's sword in the air. "I will bring these demons back to life in exchange for their help to defeat Naraku. NOW RISE!" He yelled swiping his sword across the bodies. They all began to glow until they all began to stand on their feet. They all looked hungry for revenge. Sesshomaru faced Naraku. "Now claim your justice!" He yelled. The army of revived demons attacked Naraku at Sesshomaru's command. Sesshomaru looked up. "Father, help Inuyasha." He prayed.
Kagome couldn't take it anymore. "I have to help them." She said to Little Rin. "How do I get back?"
"I don't know." Little Rin answered.
"Naraku is going to kill them!" Kagome panicked.
"Kagome, if you destroy Naraku, then the past will change." Little Rin answered.
"But if I don't destroy Naraku then this war will never end." Kagome sounded desperate.
"No not the past Kagome, I mean us. We will change individually and live the way we always wanted. In peace. You already figured out the key in destroying Naraku. With that information, you'll know your way home." Little Rin explained.
Kagome looked at Rin with a kind smile. "You are very wise for a girl your age Rin. Just like you are from the future."
Little Rin smiled. "I am wise because of Lord Sesshomaru." Little Rin said with her arms on her hips. She gasped. "He's probably wondering where I am. He's on his way, I can feel it. You must go now Kagome."
"Thank you." Kagome said. "For all your help. I couldn't have done it without you." She hugged Little Rin. "Oh, and this little meeting-"
"Never happened." Little Rin finished. Kagome smiled. "I promise I won't say anything. My lips are sealed." Little Rin smiled making a locking motion to her lips.
Kagome walked in the little pond. She faced Little Rin one last time. "Goodbye Rin."
"No goodbye's Kagome. I'll see you in a couple of minutes." Little Rin said giggling.
Kagome nodded and laughed with Little Rin. She dunked her body in the pond. Little Rin watched the water glow pink and then disappear.
"Rin, what are you doing here on your own?" Little Rin turned around. She stood up and faced her Lord.
"I promised I wouldn't tell Lord Sesshomaru." She answered while giggling and picking flowers. "I was just throwing pebbles in the water."
Lord Sesshomaru stared at the pond behind her in suspicion. He looked at Rin's big eyes and smile. "It is time for lunch." He said walking away with Little Rin running around him with flowers in her hand.
Inuyasha continued to fight Naraku and his transformation. 'I will not let it control me!' He said to himself. Naraku pinned Inuyasha against a mountain wall. Inuyasha couldn't find himself free from Naraku's hold.
"I have had enough of your little games. Your death comes now!" Naraku pierced through Inuyasha's chest with his clawed hand.
"No!" Sesshomaru yelled. His eyes turned red and his fangs grew. He jumped on Naraku's back pushing him away from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, wake up!" Inuyasha heard Jaken say.
"Dad!" 'Was that Shippo?' Inuyasha thought.
"Wake up Inuyasha."
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said. "Was that you?" He fought to stay conscious. He blinked and saw a bright light. There was a field. He looked around and saw nothing but flowers and tall grass. 'Where am I?' He thought.
"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha turned around and saw Kagome calling for him. He was about to run to her until he saw his other self run to her. 'I'm in the past.' Inuyasha thought. He saw his past self picking Kagome up and twirling her in the air. He looked happy and he laughed as Kagome laughed. 'I chose Kagome because I loved her. I still do. I'll always love her.' Inuyasha said to himself.
His mind went back to reality. He saw his brother fighting Naraku. He stood up and ran to Kagome's body. He grabbed her hand. "Wake up Kagome." Kagome's body glowed pink as he tore her from Naraku's body. Naraku yelled in agony as Kagome's body was torn from him. The jewel in Kagome's body purified and glowed bright pink making Kagome look angelic. Kagome opened her eyes and stared at Inuyasha. "I love you Kagome." Kagome smiled at him. He embraced her with a passionate kiss making them both glow white, pink and blue. When they parted, Kagome gasped.
"Inuyasha, you look different." She said. Inuyasha looked at his reflection in the water. He had a crescent moon on his forehead matching his brother's. Along with the same stripes on his cheek and arms. Miroku and the girls ran to him and Kagome.
"Inuyasha, your body has accepted your demon form without it controlling you." He smiled.
"Perfect. Now it's time to end this." Inuyasha said unsheathing his sword. Kagome separated from the hugs of her cousins and walked to Inuyasha.
"If we stay together, we can beat Naraku." Kagome stated.
"So let's stay together." Sango said.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha called. Sesshomaru pierced his Tokejin through Naraku's chest and jumped off.
"Do it now!" He yelled. Sesshomaru's new army held onto Naraku's limbs to keep him from moving. Naraku fought to be free. He managed to release one arm and released an enormous power.
Inuyasha's sword glowed red as he raised it in the air. "Backlash wave!" The sword released incredible power turning Naraku's attack toward him.
Kagome's hands glowed as she made a motion of a bow and arrow. A bow and arrow appeared a bright pink color and aimed it at Naraku. She felt her old self was with her along with Midoriko. Everyone saw the old Kagome and Midoriko on each side of Kagome as if it were a spiritual seance. "This ends now Naraku!" The three of them said in unison. She released the arrow and pierced through Naraku's heart.
Naraku's eyes went wide. He opened his mouth to yell but nothing came out. He was shocked. They had beaten him. He looked up and saw Inutaisho. "You will live fighting for survival for the rest of your life. When you die, you will be brought back to life to fight for you life again for all time." Inutaisho said. Naraku's body disintegrated and disappeared underground as if the earth swallowed him into hell.
The group stared at Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome ran to him and kissed him. Inuyasha embraced her. "We did it." He said.
"Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru said walking up to him. He traced his marks on his face. "Just like mine."
"Does this makes me full demon?" Inuyasha asked.
"No. It gives you control of your demon strength. You are still a mere half demon." Sesshomaru explained with a stern tone. Kagome giggled. They all looked at her. "What?"
"Nothing. It just all seems familiar that's all. I guess you can say I miss it." Kagome answered.
"Whatever. Let's go home. I'm hungry." Inuyasha complained.
"Where did that power you had come from Miroku?" Sango asked.
"Oh this?" He said placing his palm out unleashing the wind tunnel. A large tree was sucked in it and he closed his palm. "It was a curse but I have full control of it. I won't be killed." Miroku said proudly. "I can fend for myself way better against demons this way."
"Good to know Miroku but you're still considered the little brother." Inuyasha said rubbing his head.
"That's not fair!"
"Stop being mean Inuyasha." Kagome said giggling.
"I'm just being honest! He's a weak human."
"Inuyasha?" She warned.
"Make me food when we get home human." He laughed.
"Sit boy!" Kagome yelled.
Inuyasha picked himself up from the crated he made. "Dammit Kagome! Get this off my neck!"
"If you don't stop being mean then I'll continue to slam you on the floor!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha mumbled and crossed his arms.
Shippo jumped in Kagome's arm and Kilala jumped on Inuyasha. The group laughed. They were covered in bruises and fresh cuts and bleeding shoulders. Inuyasha managed to heal the wound on his chest while transforming.
"Okay guys, lets go home." Sesshomaru said.
"Lord Sesshomaru, what shall we do?" A demon asked.
Sesshomaru faced them. "You may live however you wish. You are alive once more and should enjoy life this time."
"We wish to live it serving you my lord." The demon replied with the hundreds of other demons nodding in agreement.
Rin giggled. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "Alright, this I can get used to." Sesshomaru stated.
"How are they all going to serve you in a one story apartment?" Kikyo asked.
"I'll manage." Sesshomaru answered.
"Things will never change." Kaede said rolling her eyes.
SIX YEARS LATER
Sesshomaru stepped out of his car wearing a suit. He took his sun glasses off and walked to a door of a large mansion. He unlocked it and opened the door. He walked in and placed his stuff by the door. He turned the lights on and was surprised by a loud roar of people.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Sesshomaru was pushed to the floor by Kilala and Ah-Un. Rin walked up to him and helped him to his feet. She gave him a sweet kiss. "Happy birthday love." Sesshomaru smiled at his wife. Inuyasha and Kagome were there holding hands. Inuyasha looked like a half demon again. He only unleashes his demon side when threatened. Sango and Miroku were there along with Shippo who had grown a little taller. His entire family was there along with other people he knew.
"Thanks guys. That definitely was a surprise. Who's idea was this?" He asked.
"Mine." Inuyasha said. "You deserve something. You're almost thirty."
"Inuyasha, I'm twenty-five. I have another five years left."
"That's not far." Inuyasha answered.
"When I'm two hundred I'll still look like this." He walked up to Inuyasha and smacked him across the head.
"You'll still be an old man."
"Don't make me kick your ass." He warned.
"Alright! Let's all go outside." Miroku said pushing his brothers outside. The backyard had large decorations of balloons and gifts and tables were set up.
"You guys did all this?" Sesshomaru asked.
"The girls did." Inuyasha and Miroku said pointing at the girls.
"We got help from your army 'Lord' Sesshomaru." Kagome mocked.
"You know you love that title." Sesshomaru giggled. "Inuyasha, Miroku, control your wives. I don't want them spending all of my money just for this."
"We didn't spend your money. You are not the only one who makes money here. We all bought this mansion together because we didn't have space to put your army who refuse to leave." Sango stated.
"That is because they all willingly want to serve me. I won't deny them that." Sesshomaru stated proudly.
"They wouldn't serve you if you didn't bring them back to life." Sango added.
"Jaken." Sesshomaru called.
The imp was at his side in moments. "Yes my lord?"
"Will you please take Kilala and Ah-Un and Shippo inside. There is going to be a bloodbath here in a matter of moments." Sesshomaru said calmly.
Shippo laughed and looked at his adoptive parents. "Mom, dad, Lady Kaede and Kikyo called and they said they will be here within the hour." Shippo said following Jaken inside.
"Great, the old hag is coming and is more likely to lecture me on my style of living. I'm not the only one living here." Inuyasha whined.
Kagome laughed. "She's just teasing Inuyasha."
"But why do I always have to be the butt of the joke?"
"Because you can be ass sometimes." Miroku stated. Sesshomaru nodded with his eyes closed.
"Thanks for clarifying." Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"Boys, please. This is a party, let's enjoy ourselves and the many wonderful years to come." Rin said holding a platter of treats.
"I have a beautiful wife who loves me, brothers who love me, new family who love me, an adopted nephew who loves me, a personal assistant, two reliable pets who love me, my very own dream home and an army to protect everything and everybody I love. What more can I ask but happiness for the rest of my life?" Sesshomaru asked with a smile.
"A family of our own." Rin answered. Sesshomaru looked at her confusingly. Sango and Kagome gasped and smiled. "I'm pregnant."
"Really?" Sesshomaru smiled and hugged his wife dropping the platter of treats she had in her hand. The group congratulated them and hugged each other.
"When do we start our family?" Sango asked playfully.
"Right now!" Miroku said placing Sango over his shoulder and ran into the mansion. Sango laughed.
"That's not fair." Inuyasha said smiling. He grabbed Kagome's hand. "Let's go get ours started." He carried her and jumped into the balcony of their room.
"Come one guys! Not on my birthday!" Sesshomaru yelled. Rin laughed.
"Don't worry, you'll get your second present from me tonight." Rin said eating a carrot. Sesshomaru kissed her forehead and giggled. 'Ah yes. This is the life.' Sesshomaru thought looking up the sky; peace and love filling his heart.
IN THE FEUDAL ERA
The group was much older. Rin was a young woman and Shippo was adapting to his demon features. Kagome along with the others are in Kaede's hut telling her what she feels but not just her, the entire group.
"What does it all mean Kaede?"
"It means that your future self has defeated Naraku." Kaede said. Rin looked up in interest.
"I believe that." Miroku said. "I can control my wind tunnel. I'm no longer afraid for my life." Miroku added with a triumphant smile.
"So she really did it." They heard Rin say.
"What do you mean?" Lord Sesshomaru asked.
Rin shook her head. "I can't say. I promised." Rin smiled.
"She came to ye, didn't she?" Kaede asked.
Rin looked at her with a smile. "I promised Lady Kaede." Rin stood up and walked out of the hut. They all watched her.
"You should go to her now Sesshomaru." Inuyasha encouraged. Lord Sesshomaru gave him a nodding smile. Sango and Kagome giggled while Miroku gave him a lecherous grin.
"Rin."
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru?"
He stared at her and smiled softly. Rin smiled at him serenely. "Naraku is dead isn't he?" Rin nodded. "Then I can now ask you properly."
"Ask me what, Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked.
"I fear no more for your safety and the people around me. I've always loved you. I never looked at you as a daughter because I always pushed myself that I would give you to family who would love you. But you would not leave my side. The attachment of a daughter was never there. Please do me the honor of becoming Lady of the Western Lands." He blushed.
Rin's eyes widened. "Good. Because I said to myself a long time ago that you would never be a good father to me. Now that I'm older, and Naraku is dead, your life will be a happy one and maybe you can turn that happiness into a family of our own." Rin said. She kissed him sweetly. "I accept my lord."
"You do not have to call me that you know." Sesshomaru smiled.
"It's a habit that I'm sure you like." Rin giggled.
Sesshomaru held her in his arms and looked to the sky. 'Ah yes. This is the life. Thank you.' He thought.
Future Sesshomaru looked up and heard a "thank you". He didn't know what it meant but he smiled at the sky. He knew where it came from and who said it. "You're welcome." Sesshomaru turned to his family and friends and blew his birthday candles. There was no need for wishes since they all came true. The future healed the past just as the past healed the future and the people in it. There were now a reasons to fear no more.
There you have it guys :) I hoped you liked it. Again, thank you all for supporting this story when I was not able to complete it. Now that I have completed this story, it is my gift to you all.
