Day broke and I walked outside to the shrine grounds after changing out of my pajamas. Standing in front of the Goshinboku tree, I let my hand run over the scar in the bark where InuYasha was pinned. Flashes of the day that we met came back to me. He had continuously called me Kikyou. A small chuckled sounded from my being. I really let him have the tongue lashing of a life time that day. Running my hand over the scar one last time, I turned and made my way to the well house. Walking down the stairs into the dark room, I saw the outline of what used to be my passage to 500 years in the past. My passage to InuYasha.

As I stood in front of the well in my time, looked down into the dark shaft for what seemed to be the millionth time of the day. Three weeks had passed since my visit with Kikyou. Three weeks and still nothing. I really, really wanted to give up hope. Then a thought hit me. What if the real reason the well had closed was because of my connection to InuYasha? Could time really want us to be separated that badly? It's unfair. I've done nothing wrong but love a hanyou. But maybe, that's where the problem lies. I've done my job. I'll have to live in a world without you. Even though InuYasha, I wish...to...see...you again. Then there was a small gust of wind. Opening my eyes I looked into the well seeing the glass blue coloured sky of the Sengoku Jidai era.

Standing there, I heard the sound of someone walking down the steps. Not even attempting to turn around and see who it was, I continued to look down into the sky of the well. I felt warm arms wrap around me and looked back to see my mother resting her chin against my shoulder. Resting my head against her chest, I continued to stare at the sky.

"Kagome," Momma said gaining my attention. "What's wrong?"

"Momma," I said still staring down into the well, "look."

Looking down herself into the well, she gasped.

"The sky," she said still staring.

We sat in silence for a little while, the wind from the well blowing through our hair.

"Momma," I said looking back at her, giving her a look that told her I've decided what I wanted to do.

"Kagome," Momma said, "it's fine."

With one final hug and a kiss goodbye to mother, I jumped into the well and was enveloped by the bright blue light that took me across time again. Back to InuYasha.

When I finally stopped and reached the bottom of the well, I stood there for a moment looking up into the bright blue sky. Mere moments later I heard a gasp above me and looked up into the face of InuYasha. My InuYasha. He reached his hand into the shaft and I jumped to grab hold of it. He again gasped realizing that I was really there and that it was no dream. He pulled me out of the well and I stood on the lip of the wooden shaft.

"InuYasha, sorry," I said a small smile spreading, "were you waiting for me?"

"Kago-" he started but stopped and pulled me into a hug.

I was happy to be back in his warm embrace.

~Epilogue~

Kagome and InuYasha walked through the village, side by side headed towards the forest of InuYasha. As they were walking, they spoke about everything that had been happening over the last three years.

"Soon after the defeat of Naraku," InuYasha said looking up into the trees, "Sango and Miroku were married. A few months after that she found out that she was carrying the twins."

"I've missed so much since I've been gone," Kagome said shifting the basket she was carrying on her waist. "I had no idea what all had been going on here since I left. I'm glad that you all were well. But what about Sesshomaru? Why didn't he take Rin with him when he left?"

"Kaede suggested that Rin stay and learn to live with humans so that she could make the proper choice when the time was right," InuYasha said tucking his hands into the sleeves of his haori.

"I see," Kagome said then looked up into the sky.

She had been back in the Sengoku Jidai for about three days now and she was still getting used to looking up into the clear blue sky. It was very different from modern day Tokyo where she was born

"I wonder how Souta, Momma, and Grandpa are doing," Kagome thought to herself.

"Hey Kagome," InuYasha said gaining her attention again.

Kagome turned to look at him, her eyes growing ind width.

"InuYasha," Kagome breathed looking at the beautiful home they were standing in front of.

"It took me a while to build it but I had to do something to pass the time while you were gone," InuYasha said gesturing for her to go inside.

Kagome walked in and was awe struck by the the interior of the house. It was big. Big enough to fit herself, him, and a few kids of their own in as well. She continued to look in amazement of a while longer, not a single word escaping from her mouth. It was starting to worry InuYasha.

Kagome felt arms wrap around her and hug her tightly.

"You like it?" InuYasha asked resting his head on her shoulder.

"I love it." Kagome said pressing her cheek against his.
