Return To The Place Where I First Loved You!

Loved Forever – I'm writing it right after I thank people.

And now, to all of you who have been wondering how Naraku was defeated . . .

Epilogue 2

The Final Battle!

I could hear his heavy breathing next to me and sighed. Another dream, this one just as bad as the first. I turned so I was facing him in the bed and gently shook his shoulder.

"Inuyasha," I called, worriedly. "Inuyasha, it's just a nightmare. Wake up."

I sighed in relief as his eyes popped open and he sat up quickly, placing a trembling hand to his forehead.

"Inuyasha?" I asked, wrapping my arms around his waist from behind. "Sh. It's okay. Do you want to talk about it?"

I watched him shake his head, then, hesitantly, nod. His shoulders shook and I hugged him tighter as if begging him to start.

"I-I saw Naraku," he began. "He-He killed you and the baby."

"Oh, Inuyasha," I whispered.

He turned to me and instantly pulled me into an embrace.

"I guess I better start from the beginning," he said.

Inuyasha's POV . . .

"Grrrr."

"Easy, Kirara," I soothed the feline. "I sense it too."

The smell was hard to miss and I had trouble breathing due to the stench of human blood surrounding me. Another stench suddenly hit me.

"Naraku," I growled, clenching my fists tightly.

Kirara jumped in front of me, growling the whole time as she changed. I kept a lookout, glancing in every direction, waiting and watching for any surprise attacks.

"MEOW!"

"Kirara!" I shouted, watching as she fell to the ground in pain. "Hang on, Kirara! Don't you dare die on me! Sango will kill me if you do."

"So, Inuyasha has a soft spot afterall," came a menacing voice that caused my blood to boil.

I grit my teeth, baring my fangs in the process.

"You're dead," I swore, laying Kirara on the ground to rest and standing to my feet.

I saw him frown.

"Funny, that's exactly what I was about to tell you," he said, charging at me.

I quickly dodged the attack, skidding along the ground as I intended to counterattack.

"Naraku!" I shouted, angrily. "Take this! Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"

Not surprisingly, he managed to dodge it and once again I found myself blocking his tentacles.

"Bastard," I hissed, wiping the blood from my mouth where he had scored a lucky hit. "This ends NOW!"

It was as if all hell broke loose. I lost control over myself. No, I didn't transform, but my body did seem to have a mind of its own. I lunged at Naraku, eyes blazing in fury, claws outstretched and ready to strike. I must've blacked out, for, when I opened my eyes, Kirara was licking my cheek. Scattered remains of Naraku were still visible, but I had destroyed his heart. But, one thing kept going over and over in my mind. Apparently, Naraku hadn't died before he said these words:

"I'll kill her, Inuyasha. I'll come back and kill her!"

End Inuyasha's POV . . .

I shivered at the tale my husband just revealed to me. No wonder he had nightmares!

"Inuyasha, I trust you," I told him. "Even if Naraku does, somehow, find a way back, you'll be here to protect us."

I heard him sigh as he traced my mate mark. I moaned with pleasure before planting my lips on his, ignoring the sound of the rain pouring outside.

"I love you, Inuyasha," I whispered as we broke apart for air.

"I love you, too, Kagome," he replied back.

We were about to kiss again, when a cry came from another room. I smiled at Inuyasha's disappointment that clearly was visible in his eyes as I climbed out of bed, put my robe and slippers on, and headed into the next room. I gently lifted the screaming toddler from the crib and held him tightly, whispering soothing words to him. After a while, he stopped making such a fuss and fell asleep, leaning his head against me.

"Is he okay?"

I turned, surprised to see that Inuyasha had followed me.

"You didn't have to get up," I told him, knowing he couldn't resist. "I'm fine."

He smirked back at me and walked over to us. He looked from me, to the bundle in my arms.

"Can-Can I hold him?" he stammered.

I jerked my head to look up at him in surprise. Ever since our son had been born, Inuyasha refused to hold him. What had changed?

"He killed you and the baby."

My eyes widened. It all made sense now. Inuyasha had been too afraid to get attached, in case his dream became a reality. Tears filled my eyes as I nodded and helped position our son in his arms. I watched with a loving heart as my husband leaned over and whispered, "Hello, there, Yasha. I'm your daddy."

A/N: It was too good to pass up! Hopefully, it made sense. But, anyway, this is it. No more surprise chapters! I promise. R&R. Thanks in advance.
