~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

It was over.

 

Everything they had fought for and dreamed of, was now over. Inuyasha carefully bent down and picked up the last shard and slowly made his way toward Kagome.

 

He stretched out his hand, his eyes never leaving Kagome's, and in a whisper said, “Its over.”

 

She didn't really know what to say to that… yes it was over but…. `He doesn't need me anymore, the jewel… it's complete.' She looked over at Sango who was helping up the monk and kitsune. They all turned and looked at her with small smiles, expectantly. `Oh, I'm suppose to purify the shard.' She shook her head -not really ready to accept the situation- and took the shard from him.

 

She took off her necklace and added the shard. A pink glow emitted from it until the jewel was whole.

 

I have to be strong , I knew this would happen eventually. `I will not cry I will not cry' was the mantra she chanted in her head as she walked towards Inuyasha.

 

“This is yours,” she half murmured. She looked into her eyes and gasped. His eyes shown with a gentle softness that he rarely showed and if he did it was usually at the elder miko.

 

He accepted the jewel with a small smile before turning away with a “Thanks.” He stopped a few paced away from her “Midoriko, come forth I am ready to make my wish.” Soon the faint light around the jewel pulsed until it seemed to explode from it.

 

When the gang was able to open their eyes again, Midoriko was in their presence looking alive and godly. “What is it that you wish for hanyou?,” she asked her voice full of power yet soft. Her essence was a paradox in itself.

 

Kagome closed her eyes… `Here we go.. Please Inuyasha don't change… Don't become human or a demon.'

 

“I wish for you to turn back time to the day that Kikyo pinned me to the tree.”

 

Her eyes flew open. “WHAT?”

 

“I can grant th-”

 

“I'm not finished. I want you to take us back 53 years ago but I also want you to send Kagome back to her time and erase every indicator that I was ever there. And if Kagome's time isn't affected, I want you to erase her memories as well.”

 

With renewed energy Kagome jumped up and ran to him. “Please no! Don't do that Inuyasha!” Her tears rolled freely down her cheeks as she clutched his arms. “Please don't let me forget you.”

 

“Kagome,” he started but was quickly cut short.

 

“NO!” She shouted again. “ I know that you are going to be with Kikyo after all of this, I know things will finally be as they should have and I'm happy for you…..but please! Please don't let me forget this ever happened.”

 

“Kagome,” he clutched her arms tighter, “ this is the only thing I can do for you. This is the only way I can make things right and fair to you.”

 

“NO!”

 

“Kagome,” he pulled her into a tight embrace, “this is the only way I won't hurt you. I can't hurt you if you don't remember me.”

 

“I don't care! How can you do this? Do you despise me so much that you want absolutely no memory of me?”

 

She pushed herself away and turned to the priestess. “Midoriko, when you turn things back, when I return to my time will it be present time? Or 50 years prior to present time?”

 

“When you go through your portal you will cease to exist in either world until you are created.”

 

She slumped to the ground defeated. Her hair falling into her face covering the sorrow that was expressed there. `So this is really over. I won't even be born anymore. How can this be? How can things end this way? After everything we've been through, and it's all going to just disappear?'

 

“I believe this wish is causing you much distress young miko. Since you went too went through a great deal, I've decided to grant everyone who helped a wish.”

 

Kagome raised her head; her eyes brimmed with new tears. She didn't even hesitate and she quickly said, “I wish that you would find a way for me to remember everything that has happened here on my 17th birthday,” her voice faltering.

 

“Ka” the hanyou tried reaching out for her.

 

“No! Inuyasha you owe me this much.” He bowed his head breaking their eye contact.

 

“I can do this as well.” She turned to remaining three members. Sango stepped forward. Limping slightly from the previous battle, “ I wish that Naraku be defeated on the day to which you restore time so that Naraku cannot touch or harm my brother ever again.”

 

She nodded and looked towards the monk. Miroku with a slightly embarrassed look went to join Sango while carrying the pondering Shippo. “I wish that I still be given the chance to encounter my lady Sango.”

 

Sango turned her head toward the monk both sporting slight blushes that lead to knowing smiles.

 

“I can grant your wish to be reunited with your love.” Both parties blushed harder.

 

“It's my turn Midoriko!,” Shouted an anxious and happy kitsune that jumped from Miroku's arms and straight towards the goddess. The priestess bent to the kitsune's level. “What do you wish for young child? Perhaps you wish to keep your mother and father safe?”

 

The young (adorable) kitsune shook his head quickly. “No, I wish that Kagome be able to find true happiness in her time. I don't want her sad anymore, she's been through too much, especially with that big idot over there.”

 

Midoriko smiled and replied, “Such an honorable and unselfish wish for such a young kitsune, I will try my hardest to fulfill your wish.

 

“Thank you.” The kitsune turned and ran into Kagome's waiting arms. “You see Kagome, you can still be happy without that big jerk!” She couldn't help the sob/chuckle that escaped her, all she could do was hold him tighter. “Thank you Shippo. I'll miss you so much.”

 

“These wishes will come to pass soon miko. It is imperative that you return to your dimension now.”

 

“Yes.” She rose to her feet gently setting down the kitsune and kissed his head. She turned to Midoriko, “I hope that now your soul can rest be in peace.” She quickly ran to hug Sango and whispered to her “Everything's over now Sango, you can be happy now. Please take care of that hentai for me okay?” She started to pull away when she was pulled back. “You were the sister I never had, I'm sorry we won't meet again.” “It was for the best.” Kagome said as she pulled away from her.

 

She went to the monk and hugged him as well. “Take care of Sango when you find her and don't let her tough exterminator attitude fool you, she's still just a woman.” “Yes Lady Kagome, I will, and who knows maybe she could bare me many children.” She laughed, `same old Miroku' “It was really an honor to meet you Lady Kagome.” “The honor was all mine Miroku.” She released him wiping away the new tears. She reached down for her bag. “I guess this is goodbye. I love you all an am grateful I fell through the well to meet all of you. I have no regrets except that I won't be able to see you guys anymore.” The tears continued to fall down her face. “But it was for the best. More people will live and less will suffer. I……I.. can't wait for the day that I'll be able to remember each one of you again.”

 

She turned and ran towards the path she'd come to know like the back of her hand. The path that she traveled these last three years, the path that would lead her home, away from her new family. The sun was starting to set and she felt a cold chill breeze through her hair. She continued faster, praying that she make it on time and not interfere with the wishes. Halfway there she was jerked back to look into the eyes of the last person she wanted to see.

 

“Get on you'll never make it.”

 

She silently climbed on his back and couldn't help but feel anguished. `This is it, the last time he carries me.' She leaned over inhaling his scent desperate to remember everything about him.

 

All too soon they reached the well. “Thanks,” was her small reply before turning around to look at the hanyou one last time. To her surprise he spoke first. “Kagome…” his eyes never leaving hers. The golden pools with so many emotions continued to bore into her and she felt herself grow weak.

 

“Before you go, I need to tell you that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being such a good friend to you and not being able to tell you how I felt about you sooner, for asking you selfishly to stay beside me when I could offer us no future and,” he stepped closer, wrapping his arms around her pulling her towards him tightly. “I'm sorry for loving you and not being able to be with you. That's my only regret.”

 

She was stunned. `What? Is this all still a big dream? Is this real? What cruel god was making her live through all of this and still not be able to be with the person she loved most?' She clung desperately to him, fearing that if she were to let him go he would disappear even though that was sure to happen anyway. She looked into his eyes and instantly wished she hadn't. His eyes, brimmed with unshed tears were locked onto hers. His jaw was set tightly and he was still the most beautiful thing she would ever see.

 

“It's time, you have to go.”

 

“I know.”

 

He released his hold and she climbed onto the lip of the well. “Goodbye Kagome.”

 

She turned and was just about to tell him goodbye when his lips suddenly found hers and any coherent thought flew out the window. But then she felt herself falling and she knew he had pushed her down the well. “NO!!!” she screamed only to be engulfed in the familiar pink light and she knew she was being transported back home.

 

“I LOVE YOU INUYASHA!” she shouted. `Please Kami, please let him of heard me, he has to know I love him too. Please please….'

 

She was suddenly aware that she was sitting in the dark well with a familiar roof overhead. She cried uncontrollably and continued to pound the dirt. “Damnit! Why did I have to fall in love with you! Why did you have to leave me! Why? Why INUYASHA!?”

 

She was drifting off to sleep when she was engulfed in a pink light. Her only though was, `It's over.'

 

************************************Meanwhile with Inuyasha***********************

“Are you sure you still wish to retain your memories of her?”

 

The hanuyo, suddenly looking like a kicked puppy, seemed to find the dirt very intresting.

 

“Yes. I wish to remember everything about her. Everything that has happened,” he paused and looked her dead in the eye. “I wish to remember so that I can bring her back to me.”

 

The miko nodded her head in realization. “As you wish it.” And pink engulfed them all.
