Chapter 2
(Flashback)
"INUYASHA.SIT!!!" screamed Kagome when she finally saw an opportunity to shoot the arrow that she had pulled taught in her bow. Just as Inuyasha kissed the ground with his face, she released her arrow that was filled with as much miko energy as she could pack into it and sent it soaring straight into Naraku's evil heart.
Sinking to her knees since she put so much energy into that arrow, Kagome was feeling very drained. She watched as Inuyasha picked himself up off the ground and stare at the spot that Naraku was at a moment ago before her energy purified and destroyed the vile hanyou that had threatened to consume the whole world if he were allowed to win the battle.
Staring at the spot Naraku was just at, Inuyasha's ears heard a soft thud come from behind him. Looking over his should he instantly dropped his sword and ran over to where Kagome now laid past out.
"KAGOME!!!! Kagome.. wake up.Onegai..." Inuyasha's shout caught the attention of Miroku as he was tending to Sango's injuries. Picking her up, he walked them over to where Inuyasha now was sitting with Kagome in his lap stroking her cheek in an attempt to coax her back too the waking world. Placing Sango next to their hanyou friend, Miroku took out a bottle of water from Kagome's backpack and a rag from somewhere in his robs.
"Use these Inuyasha. Put some water on the rag and then place it onto her forehead. That should help bring her around a bit quicker. I'm afraid we need to hurry Inuyasha. Sango's injuries are not sever, but if not treated right away, they will become infected." Miroku's voice was quiet as he spoke to the hanyou. Placing his hand to Inuyasha's shoulder, he squeezed gently and then resumed the task of bandaging Sango's injuries.
"Miroku," Sango whispered out. "Did..we win?" Miroku smiled as he bent down and kissed her forehead. Brushing her bangs out of her eyes he answered her.
"Hai that we did. Kagome 'sat' Inuyasha just as she released her arrow. It hit its target fast and true. The evil that had almost consumed our world is no more Sango. Can you ride Kiria?" Nodding her head, Miroku called the fire-cat over to them. Kiria, who was still in her full demon form, sat beside her Master and nuzzled her muzzle into Sango's neck. When Miroku finished with the last bandage, he helped Sango on to Kiria's back.
"Inuyasha, we will ride ahead back to the village. Sango is going to need a few stitches in some areas. Once Kagome awakens, met us there."
"Wait a second Miroku.." Inuyasha said. Turning his head off to the left he voiced a growling/bark. And with in moments, Shippou came out from his hiding place that he was instructed to stay at by Kagome until he was called out. Bounding over to perch himself onto Inuyasha's shoulder, Shippou let out a loud sigh of relief when he saw that Kagome was unharmed.
"Shippou, I want you to go with Sango and Miroku. And this time, no questions 'why.' Just do as I say. Understand runt." Shippou just stuck out his tongue behind Inuyasha's head and jumped from his shoulder to Kiria's head.
"Will Kagome be ok Inuyasha?" Shippou squeaked out. The hanyou nodded his head and the motioned to Miroku to get going. Climbing onto Kiria's back, he sat himself behind Sango and held her by her waist as the fire-cat leapt into the air and headed in the direction of the village.
Once Inuyasha saw that they were out of view, set himself back to the task of waking Kagome up. Opening the water bottle, he got the rag damp and began to wash her face, all the while calling to her to awaken. With in a few minuets, Kagome slowly opened her eyes only to have them fill with tears.
Reaching her hand up, her small fingers felt around for the furry ear she knew was somewhere in his hair. Upon finding it, she stroked it lightly and giggled a little when Inuyasha's chest began to rumble. Hugging her closer to his chest he nuzzled into her neck, inhaling her intoxicating scent.
"Is he gone?" Kagome whispered.
"Hai, he is Kagome." Leaning up, Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him, then began to cry.
"It's finally over...all of our efforts weren't in vain..." Pulling back away from him a little bit she realized she had forgotten something.
"Inuyasha, where is the other half of the Jewel?"
Nuzzling into her neck again, Inuyasha stood up. Carefully placing Kagome back onto her feet, she looked over to where she knew Naraku once stood. Then she saw it. A few inches off to the right she saw the familiar glow of the other half of the Jewel. Pointing it out to Inuyasha, he helped her walk over to retrieve it. She picked it up with one hand and took off her necklace with the other hand. For a moment, Kagome could only stare at the two half's, but then slowly she put her hands together. A soft pink light shone through her fingers as the two half's finally became one.
Turning around, she took a step back from Inuyasha. As he tilted his head to regard her, she gently took his right hand and placed the whole Shikon no Tama into it. Taking another step back, she spoke in a meek voice.
"Our mission is complete now Inuyasha. Sango's family and village have been avenged. As have Shippou's parents. And now Miroku will no longer fear his hand. He will be able to live a long and happy life. And as for you..." Kagome trailed off when she felt her throat close up on her as her eyes filled with tears.
"As for you...you now have what you have always wanted Inuyasha. I wish you the most happiness of all with your life. When we get back to the village, I will say good-bye's to every one there, and then go back to where I came from; to where I belong."
But if truth were told, Inuyasha was no longer seeking after the Jewel. Instead, his heart fell in love with something more powerful then what the Jewel had. He tried to deny it in the beginning, saying to himself it could never happened to a lowly hanyou like himself. But as time went on during their journey for the shards, the feelings that he was experiencing were slowly getting stronger. And now that the journey is over his heart could no longer contain the love it had for the miko that now stood in front of him.
Unaffected by her words, or by the fact that he just couldn't hear them as his heart beat thundered away in his ears, he quickly embraced Kagome in a fierce hug. Not understanding why he was doing this, she simply returned the hug to him. And for a few moments in time, they were the only two in their world.
Inuyasha then pulled away only slightly so that he could peer into her gray/blue eyes. Cupping her chin gently in his clawed hand, he bent down and gave to her a chaste kiss onto her soft lips. Breaking the kiss, but remaining nose-to-nose, Inuyasha asked her a simple and honest question.
"Will you be my mate?"

Kagome opened her eyes when she heard the drawing room door open and watched as her Mother brought in a tray of lunch for them. After unloading the tray of its goods onto the coffee table, Kagome's Mother brought over the piano bench and sat herself in front of the small table as Kagome and Inuyasha began to eat their lunch.
"The guests are beginning to leave Kagome. They wish you well with your pregnancy and their condolences about your Father. I instructed Grandfather and Sota to see them all out and then Sota is to stay the night over at Lee's house so that I can stay here with you for while as comfort, and maybe tell you the story behind that piece of music that you enjoy playing so much." Said Mrs. Higurashi as she stood up from her seat and retrieved the sheet of music from the piano. Sitting back down onto the bench, Mrs. Higurashi took a drink from her teacup and cleared her throat.
"Who would have that so many wonderful things could have happened to this family. I married, what I thought was the absolute most talented man alive at the time, had two very beautiful children; of which one can travel through time, good health with everyone, and a grandchild on the way." Mrs. Higurashi sighed and smiled as she leaned over the table and rubbed Kagome's tummy.
"Anyways, enough of my ramblings, its story time."
