Inuyasha watched as she left the safety of the camp, and walked into the woods. She did that a lot since they had joined up. Amber eyes turned to the stoic demon lord. He didn’t follow her for once, so Inuyasha did. He needed to talk to her again.
He followed her as she walked into the wood seeking solitude. He stopped when she did, and watched her. He was about to drop down when he hear faint crying some distance away. He looked at Kagome trying to decide what to do, but had to go to the other woman. He dropped from the tree he was in and followed the sound.
He found Sango not too far away with Kiara in her lap. He hesitantly approached her. “Sango?”
Sango looked up with a startled gasp. She quickly dried her tears. “I’m sorry Inuyasha, if I disturbed you. It was unintentional.”
Inuyasha crouched next to her. “What’s wrong?” His voice was soft in his concern for her.
Sango sighed. “I just can’t take it anymore. I know Miroku has had his little affairs before with village women, but I had honestly hoped he would stop. He has gone too far this time.” She shook her head, angry at herself for believing he would get better, and angrier for not seeing this sooner. Miroku would never be an honest man.
“What has he done now?”
Sango looked up startled. She had though Inuyasha was out here after seeing what she had, but she was wrong. “I-”
“Just tell me Sango.”
She sighed. “I saw Miroku with Kikyou.”
Inuyasha growled to think that Kikyou would be unfaithful. He wanted to tear off and prove Sango wrong, but he knew she would never lie about something like this. He sat next to her letting it sink in.
“Sorry.” Sango whispered.
Inuyasha pulled her into a hug. “It’s not your fault Sango.” He whispered back as he stroked her hair to soothe her.
Kagome struggled with her emotions as she listened to her sister weep. She remained hidden where she was wallowing in her guilt long after Sango and Inuyasha went back to camp. Into the night she whispered, “Not your fault Sango; it’s mine.”
**
Kagome laid a reassuring hand on Sango’s shoulder. Sango met her eyes, and struggled against the tears. She had promised herself she wouldn’t cry over Miroku anymore. She would be strong. Sango nodded to Kagome, and then turned to the village.
Kagome watched her go. She still would not enter the place. Instead she walked around, and went to look at the god tree. She looked up into its leaves, and closed her eyes. She waited for Inuyasha. She was sure he was to come. He had been thinking long and hard about what he would ask her today.
When he arrived Kagome didn’t allow him to speak. “She will need you. Take good care of her.”
“Kagome-”
“There never was a future of us. We were brought together by a soul that was fused to my own. We weren’t meant to be together. Go be there for her like you never could for me.” She spoke with emotion coloring her voice. She had made her sister deal with this betrayal. Before Miroku was so eaten with guild he couldn’t bear to stray from Sango. Now he had no such motivation. She was to blame for Sango’s pain. What had she done?
**
Miroku left the village at sun down. Sango had told him it was over. She had seen him with Kikyou. Miroku couldn’t explain why he had done it. It just happened, and now he was alone. He never could stop himself, and he hated it. He fell to his knees not far from the tree Inuyasha was pinned to, and gazed at the void in his hand. He wished it would open and suck him in while there was no one to hurt. He wanted to be pulled into the void, and end his miserable existence. He wanted to find the calm silent serenity that only death could offer.
But he couldn’t yet. He had to continue on, and at least avenge Kohaku for Sango. If that was the only thing left in his life he was fine with that. He didn’t want to live without Sango, and he especially didn’t want to see her in the arms of another. But it was for the best right? Surely Inuyasha could give her what she needed, and he would be far more faithful to her than he could ever be.
So he would help kill Naraku, and then he would let his life go.
**
Nearly two weeks later Kagome stopped, and gazed into the distance. Everyone else stopped to look at her. “He comes.”
No one needed anything else to know what she meant. Shippou, Rin, and Jaken loaded on the dragon, and took off. Sesshomaru watched them go, but Kagome was still staring off into the distance. There was a look of sorrowful determination that Inuyasha had never seen her wear before on Kagome. It was as if she knew what was coming, and was waiting for the worst. He could see in her eyes she had made a decision, and he wasn’t sure if he would like it.
Inuyasha felt like he couldn’t breathe.
**
Once more on the eve of the final battle Kagome found that sleep wouldn’t come. Tomorrow was going to be a bad day. She could feel it in her bones. Too much had changed, and she didn’t know the outcome of the battle. She feared what would happen.
“You should rest; he will come on the morn.”
Kagome turned her weary eyes to Sesshomaru. She was tired, but she doubted the deserved the bliss of sleep. She wanted so desperately to fall into sleep, and leave the world and its hurts behind even for just one night. But she had messed things up. Any blood would be on her hands this time. How was she to sleep like that? She wanted to be peaceful, and forget all that had happened here. She wanted at least one moment’s freedom from it all. But it wasn’t deserved.
She looked at her hands, the hands that would be instrumental in the death of Naraku. She wondered what else they would do tomorrow.
She felt Sesshomaru’s hand on her head, and looked up into his eyes; only catching a glimpse of his face and sorrowful eyes before blackness and nothing consumed her.
**
She woke at the first clash of battle. She was on her feet instantly. Sesshomaru was next to her. Before she could ascertain what was different the demons swarmed in. There were so many, and there was no time for anything but fighting to survive.
There was a lull in the fight where Kagome eyes instantly wandered to her sister and Inuyasha fighting side by side. Kagome remembered that it was Miroku whom had stood in Inuyasha place before, and was gravely wounded. Would Inuyasha do better? There was no time to think any more on it as demons closed in around them again, and the battle continued.
**

Kagome watched as the ones around her fell. She fought until the last blow was delivered, and prayed that it would be better this time.
It wasn’t.
She was astonished when Miroku tore the beads from his hand. He hadn’t done it the first time around! Kagura threw her dance of blades at Sango, and one sliced the edge of the void as it was sucked into the wind tunnel. A cry tore from Miroku’s voice as the void began to widen and he knew it was the end.
“Miroku!” Kagome called out.
Then he was gone along with Kikyou and Kagura. Gone with only a crater to mark his life.
“No,” She whispered brokenly. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. She knew this had to be her punishment, but not at the cost of their lives. She would give anything but that.
There was another cry, and Kagome turned to see Inuyasha cradling Sango’s limp and bleeding form. Kagome’s eyes began to cloud with tears as Inuyasha tossed away his sword, and let the demon blood consume him. He charged Naraku in rage. Kagome took careful aim trying to end it now, before it got worse, but Inuyasha leapt on Naraku. She couldn’t take the shot without killing him too.
There was a sickening snap behind her. She turned to see Kohaku with his weapon buried in Sesshomaru’s spine. He fell to the ground with no control over his legs.
“No!” Kagome screamed. She turned back to Naraku whom was now holding a furious Inuyasha. Kagome charged her weapon with every ounce of power she could. If she could get the jewel she could fix this. She saw Inuyasha turn to look at her. There was understanding in those red eyes. He nodded once, and Kagome loosed her arrow.
After the brilliant flash she knew that Inuyasha was dead, but there was no time for that. Kagome snatched up the part of the jewel Naraku had. She fused it, and then went to Sesshomaru. He had been impaled several times by Naraku’s tentacles. He wasn’t regenerating fast enough to compensate for the blood loss.
Kagome hugged him, and wept. “I’m so sorry; it’s all my fault, but I’ll fix it.” She told him. “I can fix this.” She looked up into his face. His yellow gaze was unseeing. There was no life left. Kagome let out a strangled cry, and then brought up the jewel that was covered in the thick blood of Sesshomaru.
“Go back to before, undo and wish that I had made, please.” She closed her eyes as her tears fell to mingle with the blood of the lifeless demon she loved more than anything. “Please…”
**
Kagome was drifting as she heard the jewel whispering to her.
“One wish, Kagome, one wish.”
Then pain seared through her body tearing a ragged cry from her throat. Kagome stared up at the cold stone, and then let her eyes drift closed. “No more wishes.” She whispered into the strange silence surrounding her. She smiled with the odd peace that pervaded her soul as it never had before.
She sat up slowly, smiling vanishing, and looked over at her demon mate. She placed a hand on his chest wondering if she was still being punished. Then her favorite golden gaze met her own. Kagome couldn’t resist the smile and laugh that well up inside of her. She threw herself into her mate’s arms, crying tears of joy and laughing.
Sesshomaru didn’t suppress the smile that graced his lips. His mate was ok, and she was better than she had been in over five hundred years. She was the Kagome he had fallen in love with.
Kagome kissed Sesshomaru deeply. She felt refreshed, and free. She felt alive. She felt happy. She knew it would all be ok now. She knew that she had completed her destiny. All of everything was worth it to have her mate alive. She was ok.
Kagome rose along with her mate, and headed outside to face whatever would come. It was a new day, and Kagome felt like her soul had been cleansed. With a smile Kagome looked to her mate, and then took the first step into the rest of her life.
