Prologue

The fight was over. That was all that was running through everyone�s minds at that moment. They didn�t really care about the injuries that were sustained, just that everyone was alive. They didn�t even care to grab the almost full Shikon no Tama. They were just relieved that Naraku was finally dead.

Finally, after checking over every wound in the group, that consisted of Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Sesshoumaru, Koga, Ginta, Hakkaku, Kohaku, and Kagome, they had the chance to grab the Shikon no Tama. Kikyou had also been there, but in the end, took Naraku to hell with her after Kagome shot the Shikon no Tama from his body.

Shippo smiled as he found the jewel, and jumped into Kagome�s arms in order to give it to her.

�Kagome!!� Shippo said excitedly, �I found the jewel.�

Kagome smiled at the little kitsune. She had purposely sent the other�s in the wrong direction in the search for the Shikon. Shippo really hadn�t felt like he had done anything useful in the fight, and she had wanted him to feel as though he had helped them in some way.

�Why, that�s great Shippo! Now I just need the shard out of Tessaiga, the one out of Kohaku, and the two out of Koga, and the jewel will be whole once more.�

Slowly the two made their way over to Koga. Kagome wanted to get his first. She wasn�t sure why, but she just felt that the last shard to be put back together with the large piece that Naraku had should be the one that Inuyasha had.

As she got the piece from Shippo, it flared with a bright light. She had simply touched it, and it was purified to an off white. Shippo smiled and told her that he was glad that she did that since it had been giving him the creeps. Kagome just smiled and looked to Koga.

�I suppose you would like my two shards?� he asked.

Kagome smiled and said, �It would be helpful.�

Koga just smiled and reached down and cut both of his legs open and handed the shards to her. Kagome quickly thanked him and fused them with the rest. She didn�t want the jewel to be in pieces any longer then necessary.

Next she walked over to where Kohaku sat. He had been the most injured out of them all. Naraku had almost succeeded in killing him after he had joined the other side. Even now they weren�t sure he would survive from the wounds, especially since Kagome had to take the shard out of his back.

Sango was sitting with her brother. She was going to become hysterical once she realized why Kagome was there. But there was no avoiding it. Kohaku couldn�t live with the shard in his back, it would never let him grow up, and he wouldn�t truly experience life. Kagome didn�t see that as any way to live life. She knew that the young man would soon become depressed and wouldn�t want to live for very long.

�Sango, I�m sorry,� Kagome said. �It�s time.�

Sango looked up at her and started to shake her head. �No! You can�t!�

�I�m sorry Sango, but I need to complete the jewel. And I can�t do that with out his piece.�

Tears were now flowing down Sango�s face. �But he�ll die with out it!�

Kagome sighed. �There�s a chance that he would die even with it Sango. If it�s his time� it�s his time. I�m really sorry. I wish there was something that I could do.�

Kagome couldn�t look at her crying friend and by now everyone else had come to surround them after hearing Sango�s screaming. She felt so bad to be the one to have to do this to her. But there really was no other choice.

�Then don�t take it!� Sango screamed.

�Aneue,� Kohaku spoke up for the first time in this conversation. �I�m sorry for all the things that I did while under Naraku�s control. And I feel as though I can now die in peace. Please let me go. I don�t want you to feel bad about this. I really should have died long ago. Please live for the both of us Aneue. I love you.� And with that he reached behind himself and pulled out the shard. He didn�t even have time to hand it to Kagome before he started to convulse. He was dieing.

Sango looked around her at her friends, tears flowing freely down her face, begging for some one to help her brother. When her eyes landed on Sesshoumaru, she asked him to help her brother with his sword Tensaga.

The youkia Lord looked down at the now dead boy. He knew there was nothing that he could do. The boy had chosen to die on his own, he accepted his death.

�There is nothing that this Sesshoumaru can do,� Sesshoumaru said with no feeling in his voice, and walked away. He didn�t need to be there any longer.

�What the hell do you mean there�s nothing that you can do? You have a sword that brings people back from death! The little girl that follows you around is proof of that!� Sango yelled at the youkia�s retreating back.

Miroku put his hand onto the slayer�s shoulder. �He means that Kohaku has accepted his death. You can�t bring a soul back if it�s happy and already moved on. I�m very sorry Sango.�

Sango collapsed into the monk�s arms and started to cry harder. She hadn�t wanted to see her brother die. He deserved to live just as much as she did. It just wasn�t fair. And a part of her put the blame on Kagome for even asking for the shard.

Kagome knew this and that�s why she turned away from her grieving friend. She saw the youkia lord walking away from the scene of the battle. She knew that they would never have killed Naraku with out his help, and wanted to thank him in some way. That�s when a breeze stirred and the left sleeve of his robes flew around since there wasn�t an arm there to anchor it.

�Sesshoumaru-sama, please wait!� Kagome yelled as she ran towards the regale youkia.

He stopped and turned his head slightly to look at the young Miko. �What do you wish of this Sesshoumaru Miko?�

�I wanted to thank you for helping us in the defeat of Naraku.�

�This Sesshoumaru does not need your thanks.�

�I know that, but I would still like give you something to say thank you.�

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow and asked, �What could you possibly give me that I can not get myself?�

Kagome simply smiled and placed her hand on his left shoulder. She wasn�t sure what made her think of this, but as soon as she had seen the empty sleeve, she had known how to thank him.

Slowly a light pink light started to poor out of her hand. At first Sesshoumaru had thought that she was trying to purify him, but then he noticed that the light didn�t hurt. In fact it actually felt kind of nice. He didn�t know what the Miko was doing to him, but he felt as though he could trust her.

Once she was done she pulled her hand back and fell to her knees. Sesshoumaru was a little shocked when he went to reach for her to help her back up, and his left arm was what he had reached with. Kagome smiled up at the shocked look on his face.

�Sorry. It was the only thing I could think of. I hope you don�t mind.�

Sesshoumaru looked at her and huffed. �Why would this Sesshoumaru mind? It just gives me another arm in which to fight that worthless half-breed with.�

Kagome just smiled and said, �Your welcome,� as she got back up and walked back over to the rest of the group.

Sesshoumaru smiled slightly as he walked away. She had truly given him something that he could not get himself. And he was thankful for the gift. He had missed having two arms.

Once Kagome got back to the group she sighed and looked down at Kohaku. She didn�t want to do this. And as if sensing what she was thinking, Inuyasha reached down and grabbed the shard out of Kohaku�s hand. He quietly handed it to her. She smiled in thanks and placed it with the rest of the jewel. Once more the jewel gave off a slight glow of light as the piece fused with the rest, turning even more to white.

Inuyasha leaned down to Sango and whispered something into her ear and she nodded her head. He then turned to Kagome and motioned for her to follow him. Kagome nodded her own head and walked slightly behind him as they left the group.

She wasn�t sure what the Hanyou wanted, but was glad that she would have a chance to talk to him in private. There was so much that she wanted to tell him, and she had a sinking suspicion that this may just be her last chance.

�Kagome-� �Inuyasha-� they both said at once. They smiled at each other and Inuyasha told her to start.

�There�s so much I want to say to you. I don�t know what will happen once I complete the jewel, and I wanted to let you know that I don�t regret anything. I have, and always will, treasured the times that I have spent here.�

�Kagome, I�ve treasured them too.�

She smiled and held out her hand for the last shard. Inuyasha quietly handed it over to her. She didn�t fuse it with the rest right away. Instead she looked up at the man that had saved her life so many times in the past.

�I�m going to be giving the jewel to you.�

Inuyasha looked confused. �Why?�

�Because it�s the only thing I have to give you.� And with that she made the jewel whole once more. Once she was done she placed it into the Hanyou�s hands and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

She had started to disappear once the jewel was whole. It was as though she was just fading away. Inuyasha tried to grab her, but already it was too late.

But before she was gone, he heard her whisper, �I�ll always love you,� and then she was gone.
