Last chapter! so again this is super short.
Sesshomaru stood at the top of the steps of the shrines wellhouse and stared at the well.
500 years.
He wondered if after all this time, it still had any power? Could it take him to the past? Or was it just a old empty well? He thought about it. It hadn't been used technically in a year. Not sense they had killed Naraku…and Kagome….he shook his head and closed up the well house.
"what are you doing out here?"
Sesshomaru smiled, turning to Kagome holding their 4 month old pup, currently tugging on the chain holding the mostly completed Shikon Jewel Kagome always had on to keep safe.
"I came out to pay respects to Sango and Miroku." He nodded to the tree they had been buried under when they had passed so many years ago. "And looked at the well. And started remembering…"
"why aren't you doing anything!" Inuyasha yelled at him.
"there…is nothing I can do." He said, defeated, shaking. There was no way…no way he could save her.
"we need to get the jewel out of her" Miroku said. At least he hoped that would do it.
"how?" Koga asked.
When no one offered an immediate answer sango said "we'll have to cut it out."
"no" Sesshomaru growled at the idea.
"Sesshomaru we have to do it to save her." She said.
"I'll do it." Inuyasha said.
"I said no" Sesshomaru growled. "I wont let you hurt her!"
"I'm not asking!" Inuyasha growled back.
"Sesshomaru," Miroku said trying to reason with him. "it will save her."
He shook in anger. "…fine. Do it." He said, clenching his teeth.
Inuyasha knelt next to her, hesitating, before he took his claw and cut deep into kagomes chest. It hurt him to be doing this to her, even though he knew she couldn't feel it. He had to cut deep, deeper than he ever wanted to cut someone to feel it. But the moment he felt it he stopped, and used the tips of his claws to pull it out.
Sesshomaru raised his sword again, and almost sighed in relief. The soul demons. He took a swipe, taking each one out with an almost glee as he watched them being destroyed, then held his breath, watching Kagome.
Everyone did.
No one breathed.
Not until Kagome took a breath.
Sesshomaru dropped to the ground and pulled her into his arms, not caring that her blood was getting on him. she was ok.
She was breathing.
She had a heart beat.
She was going to survive.
She was alive.
She was alive…
Sesshomaru walked down to her, gently taking Warai from her arms and hold him close, and as always, seeing the scar on her chest, before kissing her to block out the memory.
"ugh. Every time we see you, you have to be making out." Inuyasha called from the steps of the shrine.
Sesshomaru smirked pulling away. "that sounds like a personal problem little brother." He said.
Inuyasha huffed before Rin gave him a playful smack on the arm, a toddler holding onto her hand. "be nice. Like they haven't had to deal with us."
He smirked before kissing the top of her head. "that's different."
"I don't see how." Sesshomaru said rolling his eyes, before Warai started giggling.
"lets head inside." Kagome said. "mama's got lunch ready."
Sesshomaru nodded before taking one last look at the well house. "that sounds like a wonderful idea mate." He said, before fallowing her into her mothers house, leaving the past in the past.
