With a sigh, Kagome leaned her arms up on the well. So, it was closed. Naraku was defeated and now she was stuck here. She closed her eyes as she felt deep sadness at the thought of never seeing her family again. What would they think? Would they think that she had chosen to forget them? Or worse, that she was dead?

 

“Oi, Kagome,” said InuYasha softly and walked up beside her.

 

Kagome turned and looked at him. He leaned up against the well and was regarding her with a guilty expression.

 

“I'm sorry you can't go home,” said InuYasha hesitantly, unable to meet her melancholy gaze.

 

“Don't look so guilty,” said Kagome. “It's not your fault after all.”

 

“I know,” said InuYasha, “but this is such a sick way the world has repaid you for all that you have done.”

 

“I guess I will just have to start over,” said Kagome quietly. “Make a life for myself here.”

 

“You know…you could always start a new life with me,” said InuYasha hesitantly and blushed a little at the audacity of his words.

 

“Yes, starting over won't be so hard…as long as I have you,” said Kagome and smiled.

 

InuYasha turned and held her arms and said, “You will have me always, Kagome.”

 

She closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest. He put his arms around her and rested his chin on her sweet, ebony hair. No, starting over would not be so hard at all.
