The voice of Kagome's mom and brother caught Inuyasha's attention.

Back to Kagome-----
The Shikon is hovering in the airand was talking to Kagome.
Kagome: (Shikon jewel..) What is this place? What did you do to me?
Shikon jewel: Kagome, you were here the whole time...
Kagome: But I was at home..and went to high school..
Shikon jewel: That was...an illusion you saw...the life you would have from now on..
Kagaome frozed and went speechless.
Shikon jewel: Want to go back to that world? Then..wish. Upon me the Shikon jewel..wish that you want to go back to that world..or you will..in this darkness...forever...alone...
Kagome froze with fear and horror, the thought of being alone in this darkness forever and alone scared her.

Back to InuYasha-----
InuYasha: Kagome!!
A bunch of demons came in sight and is in his way.
InuYasha: Move it! Wind Scar!
The demons shattered but came back together again.
InuYasha: It got shattered into pieces and got back together again...these demons..
Demons: You don't need to look, the priestess will be here soon anyways.
InuYasha: Priestess?! You mean Kagome?
Demons: It getting closer...that woman feared the darkness..

Back to Kagome-----
Kagome is alone with only the Shikon jewel hovering before her.
Kagome: (If I don't wish upon the jewel then I can't go back?) Mom! Grandpa! Souta!
Shikon jewel: No one is here..
Kagome: InuYasha! Miroku-sama! Sango! Shippou!
Shikon jewel: No one will come
Kagome is almost at her tears now.

Back to InuYasha-----
Demons: Kagome will lose to her own fear of the darkness... and will wish upon the Shikon jewel. Want to be saved, fight the darkness and escape back to the peaceful world.
InuYasha: The Shikon jewel is still alive?
Demon: Hadn't you noticed, Hanyou? Where you are now standing..is the center of the Shikon jewel. And due to us, after Kagome wished upon the jewel to save herself, her fate is then..here. In the center of the Shikon jewel, Kagome will forever be continuing battling with us.
InuYasha: You want to devour Kagome?
Demons: The Shikon jewel will not be destroyed..it will move on to the next generation onto the hands of the next person with the same tragic wish and survive.... A forever cycle...its fate cannot be broken..
InuYasha: Dammit! KAGOME YOU CAN"T LOSE! WAIT FOR ME!

Chapter 556-Fate

story so far....

Shippou is sitting alone where the Bone-eater's Well used to be.
Miroku: Shippou.
Sango: Let us take turn to keep watch now, your body can't take it if you sit there too long.
Shippou: What will happen to InuYasha and Kagome?
Miroku: Hm.. Everything will be over after Naraku is dead is what we keep believing in... the fate between us and teh Shikon jewel is not broken yet..

Back to Kagome-----
Kagome is crying, she is alone except for the Shikon jewel that is still there..
Shikon jewel: You don't belong in this warring era here... Kagome stopped for a second hearing this.
Shikon jewel: Go back. Back to your own era where you belong.
Kagome: (If I wish to go back, can I really go back?)
The Shikon jewel did not answer her question.

Back to InuYasha and the demons-----
InuYasha is still fighting the demons.
InuYasha: Hiya! Kagome where are you! Kagome!
Suddenly, a glimpse of light appeared among the demons. It was a human woman wearing armor and holding a sword.
Inuyasha: Wh- Human?
The woman hit the demon with her sword and the demon was purified. Then she disappeared in a burst of light that shot away.
Demons: That was the priestess who gave birth to the Shikon jewel..
InuYasha: (That was Midoriko..)
Demons: Had been battling with us...for hundreads of years since the birth of the Shikon jewel. It will be the same with Kagome..
A huge web appeared in front of Inuyasha. In the center of the web is a head. It was the head of Naraku!
InuYasha: Naraku! Still alive?
Demons: He's dead.. But soon, he'll be awaken. When Kagome lose to the the fear of darkness and wish upon the Shikon jewel to go back to her own time... that instant the Shikon jewel devours her, Naraku will awake once more and a new battle will begin inside the Shikon jewel...a never ending battle. Kagome's fate had been decided when she brought the Shikon jewel across time to the warring era. To be part of the Shikon jewel, to battle for eternity inside the Shikon jewel, therefore she was born.
InuYasha: NO!!! KAGOME WAS NOT BORN OF THAT!!
InuYasha started to cut the demons once again out of anger.
InuYasha: (Kagome taught me to smile and trust. Because of Kagome, I got friends. Rely on friends, cry for other people, true strength and weakness, Kagome taught them all to me. KAGOME WAS BORN TO MEET ME! And I too...because of Kagome...) KAGOME!! CAN YOU HEAR ME??!!

Back to Kagome-----
Shikon jewel: Are you going to wish? In this darkness, are you going to choose to be alone forever?
Kagome: Kikyou only wanted to see InuYasha again, Naraku must have tiny little wish too. The Shikon jewel won't really grant our true wishes..
Shikon jewel: Then what would you do? Kagome remembered what her grandpa had said when he handed the Shikon jewel. "Only when the last person that has the Shikon jewel wished the correct wish can the Shikon jewel be purified and disappeared from this world."
Kagome: (What was the only correct wish? Now I understood. But when I actually say it, what would happen to me? I'm scared.)
InuYasha: KAGOME!! Can you hear? KAGOME!!!
Kagome: InuYasha!?

Chapter 557-I Want To See You

story so far....

Kagome: (Was that InuYasha's voice?)
InuYasha: Kagome! Don't wish for anything! Before I get there! Wait for me until I get to you! Do you hear me, Kagome!
Kagome: I can hear you, Inuyasha!! Are you somewhere near?
Demons: I told you so, there is only one way for for you two to meet. Kagome wish upon the Shikon jewel and be devoured by the Shikon jewel as the weak priestess. Stupid hanyou..
Inuyasha: What?
Demons: Hearing the sound of your voice, Kagome will gain back hope..then perhaps, she wished?
Kagome: InuYasha, I want to see you.
InuYasha: Kagome!
Demons: She can't hear you anymore...
Kagome's eyes are closed, she is no longer indespair but filled with hope and strength.
Kagome: (No matter what happens, Inuyasha will be here with me. No need to afraid anymore..)
InuYasha: Kagome, where are you? Dammit, can't see the way out!
Shikon jewel: Want to see InuYasha?
Kagome did not reply.
Shikon jewel: Answer me, Kagome. Do you want to see InuYasha?
InuYasha: Don't wish for anything, Kagome!!
Kagome: I will not wish for anything. InuYasha will be here, I strongly believe in that.
Inuyasha sees a light from above.
InuYasha: (Light?)
The light came in the form of a cut, at the same time Tetsuaiga is turning into its meidou form and is vibrating.
InuYasha: (Meidou Tetsuaiga?)
The light in form of a cute is stretching bigger and bigger.
InuYasha: (Do I cut in that spot there?)
Kagome: (Inuyasha..)
InuYasha: Meidou Zangetsuha!!
InuYasha cut open the meidou and jumped right in. Out from the meidou, Inuyasha and Kagome met.
InuYasha: Kagome...
Kagome: (This is not an illusion..) InuYasha..
Kagome's eyes were teary now, Inuyasha is right there in front of her. They embraced, Kagome wrapped her arms around InuYasha and InuYasha holds her close.
Kagome: I want to see you so badly..
They both confront the Shikon jewel.
Kagome: Shikon no Tama, I will tell you my wish.. (When the last holder of the Shikon no Tama chose the only correct wish, the jewel will be purified and thus disappeared from this world. If InuYasha didn't come, I would lose to my fear of darkness and couldn't find the right answer. But now, InuYasha is here by my side, I won't be afraid anymore.) SHIKON NO TAMA!! DISAPPEAR!!
THe Shikon jewel is spliting and craking within, then it burst into a bright light and disappeared.
Kagome: (FOREVER..)
The arrow from Kagome that was once on the jewel is the only object left.
Kagome: (It's over..)

Chapter 558-Tomorrow

story so far....

Rin: Kaede-sama, hurry!!
Kaede: No need to rush, Rin.
Rin: But it'll be born soon.
Kaede: Her husband is not there?
Rin: He went out to work.
Kaede: Well, it is the third child. (That reminds me, it had been 3 years..)

Miroku: Well, everyone here, I'm going to force the demon out now.
Villager #1: One spell costs one bucket of rice..
Villager #2: Isn't it a bit expensive?
Villager #3: Ah, he put three!
A flash of light came out of the spot where Miroku put the spells.
Miroku: InuYasha, he went to your side.
A big demon charges toward InuYasha, who had tetsuaiga already in his hand over his shoulder.
InuYasha: (Tetsuaiga)
InuYasha sliced the demon in one strike.

InuYasha: You know, one spells for a bucket of rice...even when you cheat people there should be a limit. Miroku you are a really greedy person.
Miroku: Hey I have a lot of expenses to fill in.
InuYasha: By the way, your kid is about to be born right?

Kaede: Good job, Sango. It's a healthy boy
Miroku: Was it born?
Sango: Come here to hold him.

Miroku: I wonder how Kagome's doing..
Sango: Ah..
Miroku: After what happened, it had been 3 years. After we defeat Naraku, the third day after the Bone-eater's well disappeared... the bone eater's well appeared once again is a pillar of light. But only InuYasha returned back here.
InuYasha: Kagome is alright.
Sango: Did she returned to the world InuYasha mentioned?
Miroku: InuYasha didn't really bring it up but one time he said that there is a lot people who cares for Kagome and needs her.
Sango: InuYasha, is he lonely?

Speaker: Congratulations, graduates!
Eri: Kagome!
Kagome: Ah!
Eri: Hi auntie!
Kagome's Mom: Congratulations! You graduated!
Kagome: Everyone passed the College Exam.
Kagome's Mom: Really? Congratulations!
Ayumi: My goal is to become a translator.
Eri: I want to be a reporter.
Yuri: You would want to be College Homecoming Queen first!
Kagome: (Three years has past...3 days after the well in the modern times disappeared, the well reappeared in a pillar of light. InuYasha and I returned here together.
Mom: Kagome!
Souta: Sister!
Grandpa: Kagome! Mom: Kagome!
Kagome: Mom!
Grandpa: Kagome, do you know worried we were?
Kagome: InuYasha saved me, thank you InuYasha.
InuYasha then disappeared into the well.
Kagome: InuYasha?! INUYASHA!
After that, the well never connect to that world again.
)

InuYasha: That time, I felt relieved after I send Kagome home and that instant...
Kaede: You came back here.
InuYasha: Yeah, that was it. Kagome's mom, brother and grandpa were so happy that they cried. Then I realized that I'm not the only who cares about Kagome.
Kaede: InuYasha, when did you become so understanding?
Shippou: I know. Kaede: Shippou. You went to the Fox Demon Testing?
Shippou: Yeah, I advanced to the next level! InuYasha, don't you go to the well every 3 days?
Kaede: Once every 3 days? That is some strong patience. (But even so they cannot meet.. Kagome came along with the Shikon jewel. She also left along with the Shikon jewel. The reason Kagome came to this worls is to destroy the Shikon jewel, Kagome's duty in this world is probably over..)

Kagome: (The well cannot connect is it because of my feelings? The bone-eater's well disappeared, I was let alone in the darkness, I was really scared and sad. But I didn't know I've been in the darkness for 3 days. I brought the same frightening and sad memory to mom, Souta, and grandpa. I felt bad for them, but I was very happy to be back to this world. Then the well closed, InuYasha, I've been thinking the reason I went the the warring times. The reason of the disappearance of the Shikon jewel and the well cannot connect. I finished my duty and from theat time on, I had been in a world I belong. A world without InuYasha, InuYasha...I want to see you..)
Kagome's Mom: Kagome? What's the matter?
Kagome: Mom... The sky.. Mom, I..
Kagome's Mom: Kagome..

Twin #1: Doggie, doggie.
Shippou: You look like a toy.
Twin #2: Doggie.
InuYasha: Hey! Do something to the twins!
Miroku: Don't pull the ears.
Sango: Sorry, InuYasha.
InuYasha: (!) Why don't you two exterminate the fox demon.
Inuyasha picked the the twins and place them on Shippou.
Shippou: HEY! Inuyasha what are you doing?!
Twin #1: Shippou!
Twin #2: Exterminate!
InuYasha: (The scent of Kagome?)
InuYasha arrived at the well and put his hand inside. Then a second hand grap his from below and pulled out from the well was Kagome. Their eyes met and their hands still holding, Kagome's eyes were filled with tears.
Kagome: Sorry InuYasha, were you waiting for me?
InuYasha: Kagome.. Stupid, where were you all this time?
Shippou: Ka- Kagome!
Kagome: Miroku-sama, Sango, and Shippou. (I'm back..)

Friend #1: Hey Souta, don't you have a pretty sister?
Friend #2: Yeah, next time let us meet her.
Souta: My sister is not home, she married after high school graduation.
Friend #2: So early!
Friend #1: (Bad influence?)
Souta: Ah! Grandpa, how is the check-up at the hospital?
Grandpa: My uric acid is a little high.
Souta: Bye!
Friend: #1: See you tomorrow!

Kagome: (The 3 years I've been gone, a lot had changed. Shippou became an independent demon who often trainoutside the village. Sango's brother, Kohaku..
Kohaku: Totosai-sama.
Totosai: Oh, Kohaku. Here, it's the weapon you ask me to do. It's a bit heavy.
Kohaku: Thank you so much.
Totosai: Do you go see Sango sometimes?
Kohaku: No, that home is a little tight.
he's going on a journey to train himself as a exterminator so he can help those in need. By the way, Myoga-sama..
Myoga: Right here!
Myoga is sitting on Totosai's shoulder
And I took on Kaede-sama's teachings and started to help make medicine and exterminate demons. Rin is living under the care of Kaede-sama.
)
Kagome: I thought that Sesshoumaru would bring her with him.
InuYasha: Kaede-sama says that she needs to get used to living in a village so that one day she can choose between two sides.
A shadow flew by above their heads, it was Sesshoumaru.
Jaken: AH! Sesshoumaru-sama! Kagome is..
Kagome: BROTHER!!
Sesshoumaru shot her a disgusted glare.
Kagome: Weird, he doesn't look very happy. Eh? Inuyasha, you too!
InuYasha: That sounds really makes me uncomfortable.
Kaede: What did Sesshoumaru bring this time?
Rin: It's a new kimono.
Kagome: (From now on, there would a lot more things that would change. I will continue to live here with InuYasha, and live everyday together. InuYasha and I will continue to live towards tomorrow.)
