Chapter 10

 

Once everyone had calmed down from the excitement and allowed Kagome to stand on her own. She had asked that they gather everyone in the village for her story. She now stood in front of the well with all her friends and villagers as the sadness in her heart made it beat slow painful thumps.

 

“I ahh, I wanted everyone to hear this story from someone that was there. Naraku has been purified, but I am unsure of where his remains will be found. Inuyasha…. Inuyasha well he was struck by one of Naraku's tentacles and we were separated. I am not sure what became of him. I fear that he will not be able to return us. The necklace broke.” She said as she addressed everyone.

 

As she finished her story she noticed that some of the children from the village had started to gather flowers. The little group watched as they walked up and began to toss them into the well. Maru held her in his arms as she once again started to cry. Sesshomaru had walked away after the villagers started to throw the flowers in the well.

 

Kagome and Maru had stayed by the well even after the last person had paid their respects to the reluctant hero. She knew what had to be done and she hoped that the others would understand. Turning to Maru she smiled sweetly.

 

“I need you to do something for me.” She said taking his hand in hers.

 

“You know I would do anything for you.”

 

“I need you to help me destroy the well.” She said softly as Maru frowned.

 

“Are you sure Kagome? You will be stuck here and unable to return to your family.” Maru said taking her face in his hands to look into her eyes.

 

“We are her family now.” Sesshomaru said walking over to them. “We need to destroy the well in order to protect what is ours.”

 

They knew that it was possible for something far worse than Naraku to come through. It was not an easy decision for Kagome to make, but it was the right one. She found it ironic that the world she had cared so little about such a short time ago had become her only world.

 

She merged her powers with theirs as she began to chant around the well. A light shot into the sky as the well magic began to waver. Her chanting becoming louder and faster as their powers hit a peak. An explosion of light and splintering wood shot into all directions. The force of the blast threw each of them a few feet away from each.

 

The inus dashed to her side to make sure that she was okay. Sitting up she looked at her demons and smiled. She was bloody and bruised, but other than that she was perfectly fine. Maru picked her up and carried her back to the village.

 

 

Kagome had finally meant Saber and received the sword that Totosai had forged for Maru. She planned to give it to him when they returned to the palace. She was curious as to what the sword would be able to do. They would have to find a secluded place to test it.

 

Saber had decided to go and stay at the slayer village. It needed a miko and she needed a place that she could fit in. She would not find a more perfect place than that of Midoriko's legendary home. Not to mention her cat had grown very fond of sango's.

 

Sango and Miroku had thought it best to have a wedding in a couple of months. Too much loss had occurred and they wanted a happy event. Sango had made Kagome promise that no matter what she would come and visit them.

 

Kagome, Sesshomaru, Maru and the children where going back to the palace in the morning. Sesshomaru had found out that some in his palace where not as trust worthy as he had once thought. The scream that they had thought came from Kagome was actually a chambermaid. She had been sliced through, but Sesshomaru with help from Tenseiga brought her back. She had informed him of the traitors and they would be dealt with.

 

There of course was also the matter of the mating. This time Maru thought it best if he try to talk to Kagome. Sesshomaru was sometimes less than thorough when something needed to be said. Of course Sesshomaru would be in the room so there be no jealousy about it later.

 

Early the next morning Kagome had woke with Maru on her side and Sesshomaru on the other both nuzzled into neck. Such a nice way to wake she thought. The rustling on her sides let her know that they had awoke and it was time to head back to the palace.

 

Another World

 

Golden eyes had cracked open. A groan of pain as he pulled himself into a sitting position. Looking around the room filled with extravagant furniture and rich tapestries he thought that maybe he had died. His eyes darted towards an unfamiliar presence in the room.

 

“Good you are awake.” The man said getting to his feet and walking to the futon.

 

“Yeah, thanks for the help. Did you happen to see a miko or really crazy power driven hanyou hell bent on destroying the world?” Inuyasha asked

 

“No, Sesshomaru had sensed you at the bottom of the well, but no one else.”

 

“Sesshomaru, found me huh?” Inuyasha said looking around for his clothes.

 

“Yes now perhaps you can answer why you look like my dead son?” The golden eyed man asked Inuyasha.

 

“Your son? Your Inu no Taishou?” Inuyasha whispered looking closer to the man that he had never officially met in his life. It was a rather sad and unnerving moment for him. He knew that this was not his actual father, but it had felt nice to believe even if for a second or two.

 

“So formal. You have not answered me.” He said sitting on the futon.

 

“Well, I am not your son, but if he is dead you know that. I am from another world the well is a portal that can send people to other worlds.” Inuyasha said not noticing that another had joined them in the room.

 

“You mean it was a portal. It exploded last night. What ever magic that got you here is no longer there.” Sesshomaru said leaning against the wall.

 

A sinking feeling in his gut as he thought about being stuck alone in a strange new world. He frowned and made to get the rest of his things. The man who thought to be his father stopped him.

 

“My son was killed in battle not that long ago. He had risked his life to save his brothers. I know that you are not my son, but I would like you to stay here. At least until you no longer feel the need.” He said getting to his feet and taking leave.

 

Inuyasha watched as the man left and only Sesshomaru stayed behind leaning on the wall. He wasn't sure what this Sesshomaru was like, but he seemed pretty normal. He didn't seem overly protective like Maru or non-emotional like Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru hung his head slightly.

 

“It was my fault that Inuyasha died. My father is still angry with me over it. I wasn't paying attention, but Inuyasha was always there when I was being stupid. The dragon came from nowhere….Any ways like he said you may as well stay here you have no where else to go.” Sesshomaru straightened himself up.

 

A thought occurred to Inuyasha and it couldn't hurt to ask. “I don't suppose you know a miko by the name of Kikyo or Kagome do you?” He asked slyly.

 

“The traveling miko sisters. Royal pain in the asses, but harmless I assure you. Not to mention they are hot as hell. Why do you know them?” Sesshomaru smirked

 

“No, but I plain on getting to know them.” Inuyasha replied. “Ah man after my own heart. We will leave in a couple of days when you are better. I am pretty sure I know where they are now. If not we can follow the drooling wolf prince.” Sesshomaru laughed and exited the room.

 

Inuyasha looked around the room once more and smiled. `I could get use to this.'
