Crescent Moon Necklace

After finding a new love, and completing the shikon, Kagome is sent back to her time for good. Maybe they'll be reuinited again... maybe not....

Two people stood at the bone-eaters well. One had long silver hair and the other had black hair that reached the middle of her back. The male had golden eyes, and claws. The female had hazel eyes, and pierced ears. The girl was in a Japanese school, uniform, the other was in a traditional Kimono.

They were talking about something, and then she leaned over to him and whispered something in his ear.

He nodded and then she jumped into the well.

In a flash of blue light, she was gone.

The same two people were sitting by a lake. This time the girl's hair was shoulder-length. They were talking yet again. The man said something that made the girl smile and blush. He smiled back and picked a flower out of the ground and placed it in her hair.

The girl was leaning against a tree. Then the man with the silver hair walked up to her. He walked up to her and hugged her. She hugged him back and then they pulled away. She smiled at something he said and leaned over and kissed him. After they pulled apart, he showed her something. She smiled at him and he put the necklace on her.

The girl was fiddling with her necklace. She was at the sidelines of a battle and then with one final blow, the demon was dead. Her arrows were all gone and she couldn't assist for the ending.

She ran over to the demon with the silver hair and hugged him, his body all beaten up from the battle. She was in bad shape too, but not as bad as him.

She danced around in a circle happily and then remembered the shards.

She hugged him one last time before picking the shards up from the corpse.

She started to fade. He stared to scream her name. A woman, a monk and a small Kitsunu kit ran toward her. They all reached out to grab her and failed. She faded out of sight and the three friends crashed to the ground, and for the first and last time in the man's life, he cried.

The girl observed her surroundings. She saw a shrine, a huge tree, and a small shack. She got up from her knees and ran toward the shack. She saw that there was a well in it when she ran in. She slowed down and walked to the well. She looked into its depth and jumped.

She landed on the bottom and started to cry. She started to rip out the dirt and seemed to be trying to dig through the bottom. After a while, with her bloody knuckles, she fell back onto her knees and held onto her necklace. “No.” She whispered. “No.” And she held the necklace tight, because it was all she had left of him.

Twenty-one year old, Kagome Higurashi sat in her history class fiddling with her necklace. They were talking about a strange miko that lived five hundred years ago and strangely disappeared. They were talking about her. She sighed. It's dangerous to keep holding on like that Kagome. She scolded herself in her mind. You'll just start to cry. It's over Kagome; you'll never see them again. They're gone.

After class Kagome stood outside her favorite café, French Vanilla, with her friends Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri. They were talking about, as usual, Kagome's social life.

“Kagome, you'll never have a life unless you put yourself out there. Start dating.” Eri insisted. Kagome shook her head.

“No, Eri, do I have to tell you a thousand times. I don't want to see anybody!” Kagome refused as they walked into the café. They sat down at a booth and a waitress walked over to them.

“And what'll it be girls?” She asked. Kagome forced a smile.

“A double-cream latte for me please,” Kagome ordered.

“A double-double then,” (do they have these in the States or just in Canada. If you don't have them there, then it's a plain coffee that had two sugars and two creams) Eri stated. The other girls nodded.

“Same for us,” they said.

“So, Kagome, why don't you date anymore?” And Kagome groaned.

She sat on her bed that night and sighed. She'll love Sesshoumaru, always.

The past is something hard to unravel. It will never happen again. Even as the seconds past and stories are updated, TV's are watched, history is being made.

Lives can change in the blink of an eye.

People can be happy one moment, and the next hear they're parents are dead.

Moments that change the turn of certain people's life.

For example, 9/11 was one of these moments. One minute these people are working, filing, typing, the next minute the building next to them is hit by a plane, and some co-workers die. By the time the event had sunk in, a plane comes crashing into the building they're in. Meanwhile families are at home watching the news and it suddenly flashes to the world trade center, which now has been hit by a plane and they watch as another plane hits the second tower.

Or when Kagome is happily picking up the jewel shards the next minute she's stuck in the twenty first century forever.

Kagome missed her second family, especially Sesshoumaru.

Her friends had set her up on a blind dating system and now she was at a restaurant with a demon that is supposedly Ayumi's brother.

“I'm Uoppihs by the way.” He spoke out.

“Kagome.” She replied. They said nothing for about five minutes.

“So, how did demons survive to this day and age Shippou?” Kagome asked.

“How did you know it was me mom?” Shippo asked.

“You're aura. I didn't recognize it, but I knew it was familiar. And your fake name is your name spelt backward.” She giggled.

“How'd you end up related to my friend?” Shippou sighed.

“I was adopted disguised as a nine year old.” He explained.

“Sesshoumaru was adopted too, but I disguised him as a 10 year old so he'd end up a year older then you. And he was adopted by a different family, but we're best friends, even though he was my father oh so long ago. He still treats me like a little kid when nobody else is around. He still acts like my father when we're alone too.”

Kagome smiled. “I miss Sesshou-chan so much!” She said. “Why'd you end up on a date with me then?” He asked evilly.

“My friends threatened my most prized possession. My necklace. They said that when I'm asleep they'd throw it into the lake.” Kagome fake cried.

Shippou laughed. “Yeah, I can just picture that!” Kagome laughed too.

“So, when can I see Sesshoumaru?” She asked in a childish manner. He frowned.

“Sesshoumaru is out of town this week.” She frowned along with him.

“We've got a lot to catch up on. What's your number? I can take you shopping tomorrow, as you may know, me and Ayumi's family is loaded!” Kagome laughed as she wrote her number on a napkin.

“After you disappeared Lord Sesshoumaru locked himself in his room at the palace for days. That was when Inuyasha pointed out that Sesshoumaru was a demon and could live up to your time and still be young. Inuyasha, on the other hand, had little more then two hundred years left to live.”

“When you disappeared, Kikyou returned to the living. Her soul was returned to her because there was no longer anybody in the feudal era harboring it. Don't worry Kagome, you still have your soul, but when you returned to your time, you gained the part Kikyou had because Kikyou had died by your time.”

“Kikyou got an extended life by mating with Inuyasha and she died a year before he did. They had a happy life together and they both missed you.”

“Kouga mated Ayame and lived happily ever after. Currently he is owner and head chef of this restaurant.”

“I lived with Sesshoumaru and Rin. Rin died like a normal human, and she remembered you to her deathbed.”

“Sesshoumaru and I have been staging our deaths when we get to the point that a human would die, using my illusions to make us get older, but one year for each of us we look the age we are supposed to be acting and we remove the illusion.”

“After staging our deaths we are found on the doorstep of a random orphanage as a nine and ten year old, brothers.”

“We make sure to stay in touch no matter how far away we get and we have to stage our deaths close enough to one another without anybody suspecting a thing. Usually him visiting me on my deathbed and my dying before her gets there and at my funeral he stages a heart attack.”

“Kouga just pretends to be one of his sons that goes to a far off boarding school and inherits the restaurant. And that son is always ironically named after him, but after he `dies in his home' I have to show up and disguise him a little bit so it's convincing.”

“Ayame never leaves her house. When she does, it's alone. She had no problem unless she visits supposed to be single Kouga at work. When she does go with him, she goes as his date. She only does that every other generation so that nobody will notice how much she looks like Kouga's fathers date. They go out for about a year before breaking up.”

“What's he saying to her?' Eri asked, looking toward Kagome and Shippou's table.

“I can't here them, but a while ago she did give him her number. That's a good sign.” Ayumi whispered back.

“How is your meal so far ladies?” Kouga asked them. He was short a waiter that evening so he had to step in and serve.

“Good…” Ayumi trailed off. She looked over when she heard Kagome laugh. Kouga heard it too. Her sweet laughter rang through his restaurant like bells and he looked at her.

“It couldn't be. They said…” He whispered to himself. He looked at the girls again. “Do you know that girl?” He asked them. They nodded. “What's her name?” He waited.

“Kagome Higurashi.” Yuka spoke up.

“It couldn't be, but it is.” They heard him say before he ran off to Kagome's table.

“One time Sesshou's disguise looked like he was a girl. You know how orphanages give you a couple outfits to wear; they gave him all dresses.” Kagome laughed so loudly at this that the restaurant went quiet. A minute or so later Kouga ran up to her.

“KAGOME!” He smiled and embraced her. “Uh, Kouga-kun, Shippou was just telling me you married Ayame.” She said as he sat down. “I know, but I couldn't help myself. I haven't seen you in five hundred years!”

“How do I look?” Kagome asked her friends. They gave her thumbs up. “So, you are dressing up for my brother that you just met a week ago?” Ayumi asked.

“No. You're brother was one of my old friends. Like the waiter at the restaurant that you guy's were spying on me at. Anyhoo, Shipp- Uoppihs-chan knows the guy that I went out with but was separated from. He also knows where my boyfriend lives so we're going to see him with the rest of my old hospital friends that survived. Are you coming?”

Ayumi nodded. The other two thought for a moment then nodded too.

The group walked over to Sesshoumaru's house and knocked on the door. Hojo answered. “Higurashi-san!” Kagome gasped.

“You sure this is the right house?” Kagome asked Shippou. He nodded.

“You know this fellow?” Kouga asked. Kagome nodded.

“He's stalker number two! Well, he was… Now he's my only stalker. Thank Ayame!”

Ayame laughed. “And I thank you too!” Shippou groaned.

“Before we get off subject, is Hyouga available?” Hojo nodded.

“WAIT! ARE YOU SAYING THE FAMILY SESSHOU WAS ADDOPTED INTO WAS HOJO'S!” Kagome whispered as loud as she dared while Hojo went to get Hyouga.

Sesshoumaru appeared in the doorway. “Kagome!” He exclaimed. Kagome hugged him and he kisses her cheek.

“I've missed you so much Kagome!” He said. Ayumi walked over to Hojo.

“And to think, this entire time her crazy violent two timing boyfriend was your adoptive brothers half-brother.” She said wonderingly.

“Really…?” Hojo thought aloud.

Kagome looked over to Ayumi. “He wasn't crazy.” She looked at Sesshoumaru. He smiled at her and kissed her.

“I love you Kagome.”

She smiled back at him. His hand was resting on her neck and he felt something.

It was the crescent moon necklace.

Kagome read his mind. “I never took it off.” She moved his had and kissed him again.

Ayumi smiled widely. “Our little Kagome is growing up.” She said. Eri smacked her on the head.

“OUCH!”

--------------------------

Four Years Latter:

“MOMMY!” A little girl ran up to an overlarge Eri as she walked into the house.

Kagome walked into the front room with two children holding her hand. One was a boy and one was a girl. The boy let go and followed his twin sister to Eri.

“Were you two good for Auntie Kagome today?” They nodded. Eri smiled.

Kagome sighed. “They are a handful Eri; I can't believe you would leave them with me! Stusokei-chan spilled flour all over the floor and then Maiko-kun poured water al over it! It took me hours to clean up.”

The little boy smiled. Eri laughed. “Hey, you leave Sango-chan with me all the time. Do you know what kind of messes that girl gets herself into?” Kagome nodded.

“Of course I do, I live with her.” Eri laughed.

“Do you know what you'll name your next?” Eri knew that Kagome wanted to get pregnant again.

“Well, I was thinking about naming him Kohaku.” Kagome said.

`What if it's a girl?” Eri asked.

“It'll be a boy. We also want to have a girl after him and name her Rin.”

“Mommy, I want a little sister too!” Stusokei told her mother.

“I want a brother!”

Kagome giggled. “Maybe it'll be twins again and you'll both get what you want.”

“Please God, No. I can barley handle one set of twins.” Eri stated. Kagome laughed.

“Well, Ayumi's due any day now. She's going to name her boy Miroku after her ancestor,” Houjo said, walking in the door. “Eri, hurry up I'm hungry!”

Eri laughed as her and her family left. “BYE AUNTIE KAGOME! BYE SANGO!” The twins waved.

“BYE STUSOKEI-CHAN! BYE MAIKO-KUN! BYE ERI, HOUJO-SAN!” Kagome called back.

Sesshoumaru pulled into the driveway and saw his wife and daughter waving to Houjo and his family. Kagome smiled. She ran over and hugged Sesshoumaru.

As she ran her necklace bounced on her neck.

Sesshoumaru nuzzled her cheek. “I love you koi.” He whispered.

Kagome giggled. “I love you to Sesshoumaru-chan.”
