To belong
She watched the stars with him and Shippou who was presently curled up on her lap. Once she had come back Shippou had had no trouble in claiming Kagome as his mother again and Rin, who was a good friend of his, like a sister to him had decided to do the same. It was as if she had come back to the world she left, not a new one in some ways. Sango and Miroku were like family and their children were seeing her as a kindly aunt. He could not keep the smile off his face, he and her and their pup together under the stars, it was the way things should be.
She was well into this new future sand did not miss the alternate one with the jewel shards and Naraku in at all. Yet it was still a lot to take in that all of her memories no longer existed, she and Inuyasha never existed, all of those adventures never happened. She missed that fact, but for some reason, the thoughts did not make her unhappy. She missed those memories that she could share with no one else, and she had so many questions with no answer. Consequently she spent more and more time with her silent fox companion. He knew he could not give her the information she wanted, his dreams had not given him the answers, but the fact she wanted to be with him because of this was an upside, he loved her.
"Surely you do not miss the 'other'?" He asked her, he too had had dreams like everyone else and had come to the conclusion that even without him being alive, a downside in itself, was indeed, horrific. He put an arm around her amiably, they were yet to speak of the kiss but he saw the understanding in her eyes and he realized the day had come when Higurashi found out he was in love with Higurashi. He did not know whether the flame she held for him though burned quite as brightly for him, but he did not mind waiting, he had waited 200 years, he was a master at being patient. He would wait for as long as it takes for Kagome to love him as long as she was his at the end of it, they belonged together.
