Gah Finally! Sorry for the wait. I feel my inspiration for this story just completely vanished, but I managed to finish it! I hope I won't disappoint!

Chapter 6 – The end.

Being of Daiyoukai status, Sesshoumaru often found himself at some social gathering or another. He had been to meetings, parties and even to gatherings for single youkai that are looking for a mate –though that was on his mother's urging. With many youkai trying to impress the others, trying to gain land, power or mates and still being awfully proper and polite about it, those parties were a complete and utter bore compared to what he had just been through.

Humans can party alright. Almost everyone was drunk of their ass, great amounts of food had been eaten and at least 3 human girls kept staring at him, crying for attention. Little did they know, that Inuyasha was the person who held most of his attention right now. The boy was leisurely eating the food that was offered to him while talking with his friends. He seemed to be enjoying himself, good. Though something was bothering Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru could tell by the way he would look away in silence whenever he thought no one was looking at him. He would look as if he was in deep thought.

It would quickly disappear again though and Inuyasha would happily chat away again. He seemed to really enjoy the company of his friends, they were good for him, they were there for him when Sesshoumaru wasn't. A pinch of guilt grabbed Sesshoumaru's heart. He quickly forgot about it and scooted closer to Inuyasha, making sure their legs and shoulders touched. Inuyasha was startled by the action and blushed, though he did not seem to mind.

"So where will you go now?" Miroku asked. "I imagine you two won't be staying here."

Inuyasha's and Sesshoumaru's eyes met for a second before he answered. "Haven't thought about it yet.." He said. Though Sesshoumaru quickly pitched in. "Inuyasha and I shall go home for now." Multiple eyes went wide accompanied by a pair of puppy dog ears going straight up. Inuyasha had never imagined this going to happen, he still couldn't. Sesshoumaru's home was his home now - no, Sesshoumaru was his home, he would go wherever the Daiyoukai would. Inuyasha had decided so already. Without realizing, Inuyasha gave an incredibly cute blush, earning himself many stares from the people around him.

Kagome sat to the side, she was furious. How could this be happening? That man tried to kill Inuyasha over and over again! He had hurt them so much and now, just because they had one common enemy defeated, they were best friends all of a sudden?! No this was ridiculous.

Kagome wanted to talk with Inuyasha but no matter how much she tried to get his attention, the hanyou seemed to avoid even looking at her. Pissed off, the girl stood up and walked away. She couldn't handle how "In love" Inuyasha was acting.. and mostly because it wasn't with her..

Everyone looked after Kagome as she silently stormed away. They knew what was bothering her, of course they did, but nothing could be done about it. Sango gave a pleading look to Inuyasha, "I really think you should go talk to her, Inuyasha." she said.

"Yeah, you're probably right.." with that Inuyasha stood up, he put his hand on Sesshoumaru's shoulder, "I'll be right back" and left.

Inuyasha had followed Kagome to the well. She sat on the edge of it, feet already inside. When she noticed Inuyasha was approaching her, she dropped herself into it. Inuyasha sighed before following after her.

In another time zone, two people stood awkwardly close inside a cramped well. Inuyasha grabbed her waist and with one fluid motion jumped up, it came natural. Once outside, Kagome started walking outside of the well house and headed towards the Goshinboku tree. The place where it all started.

Inuyasha followed after her quietly. He would let her speak on her own time, if she wanted. Standing in front of the tree like that, Inuyasha couldn't help but remember all the times the tree was there for him. He had spent 50 years stuck to it as well, so you'd think the hanyou would hate the damn plant already, but no. Goshinboku almost felt like a home over the years. It was one of the constant things in his life, something that would always be there. That space in his heart had now been replaced though. Sitting in its branches did not seem right without Sesshoumaru sitting right next to him. He wanted to spent the coming 50 years only with his older brother, no one else. Which was probably the reason for Kagome's anger, or sadness.

"I.. I thought you and I would be together even after Naraku. I thought we shared a bond, a feeling in our hearts.." Kagome started. This was difficult for her. She had always wished for Inuyasha's happiness, but why wasn't it with her?

..

"Tell me, Inuyasha. Why is it that you suddenly are in love with Sesshoumaru, after traveling only a few weeks together? Is it possible you have mistaken the feeling of love for a familial one? After all, I thought you were in love with me." She tried.

Inuyasha shook no. "If I was only feeling a familial bond with Sesshoumaru, I would still feel like rivals, like I need to beat the shit out of him and take over the alpha position. But what I feel is completely different. He is my alpha in every sense of the word, I feel home with him, safe. Don't ask me how this could happen, because I sure as hell don't know, but it did." Seeing Kagome wasn't satisfied with the answer, Inuyasha sighed.

"I really did love you Kagome. And I thought I wanted to be with you forever. But what I feel for Sesshoumaru is a thousand times stronger, and more real." Seeing Kagome starting to get angry, Inuyasha quickly calmed her down by laying his hand on her cheek. "Don't get me wrong. That didn't make it any less real. But you and I, couldn't have worked either way. I'm a hanyou remember? When you are old and wrinkly I still would look the same."

"Do you think I care about that?!" she said.

"But I do. I don't want to bury you and be left alone again Kagome." Kagome's eyes filled with tears. "Look. I finally found the place I belong. I am mated now, I can have children and live my life happily. You should do the same here."

Taking a strand of Kagome's hair in his hands, Inuyasha leaned just a tiny bit closer. "You are so pretty, I am sure you will find the right guy soon. One who will grow old with you, give you children and grandchildren. That's how you should live your life, here." Inuyasha ended it with a small kiss on her forehead.

"Maybe you should rest here for tonight. We still haven't dealt with the jewel, but it can wait. Your heart and head should be clear when you make the final wish." With that Inuyasha gave a small smile and went back into the well. Kagome's eyes followed him until he was out of sight. Falling to her knees, Kagome couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Smelling the fresh scent of nature around him, Inuyasha knew he was back home. He jumped out of the well quickly to be reunited with his mate. They had been apart far too long already, for his taste. Apparently Sesshoumaru felt the same, seeing as he stood right in front of Inuyasha as he got out.

"Sesshoumaru, what are you doing here?" he asked surprised.

"You are finished then, with the priestess?"

"Ah yeah, sorry about that. Had to tie up some lose ends.." Inuyasha blushed. Sesshoumaru stepped closer suddenly, making Inuyasha a bit nervous. Had he stepped out of line already? Unexpectedly, the Daiyoukai just was in need of some more affection, which was certainly not thanks to some dark emotion called jealousy or something, no he just wanted to feel Inuyasha again. so without hesitation, he planted his mouth right onto his little brother's. The unsuspecting hanyou didn't seem to mind though, and quickly reciprocated.

It is normal for newly mated demons to feel a constant need to be with each other. The overwhelming sense of protection and jealousy could be dangerous to anyone passing by. You should not touch or get friendly with young mates, if you value your life. This was precisely what Miroku was warned for last night.

Being in a deep need for air, Inuyasha broke the kiss. Face staying close, their breaths mingling. Inuyasha panted a bit before smirking. "That was a really nice way of saying 'welcome back'."

"Her scent is all over you." Sesshoumaru said furiously. Inuyasha nuzzled his neck. "Don't worry, after we take care of the jewel, we probably won't ever see her again.." The thought saddened the hanyou. "But, how about we go take a bath to get rid of it?" Inuyasha smirked again. Sesshoumaru smirked as well and followed his delectable lover towards the stream.

Once they reached it, Inuyasha immediately undressed. Unashamed and full of pride, he showed his skin in the moonlight. Once done, the hanyou stepped into the water and walked until he was completely submerged. Sesshoumaru had enjoyed the show first, but did not want to be left behind. He too started undressing, though he left his clothes in a neatly folded pile, unlike Inuyasha.

When Inuyasha broke the water surface once more, two strong arms immediately wrapped around him. Inuyasha tilted his head to the side as Sesshoumaru nuzzled his neck. "Yes, much better." He said as he began to leave small kisses and bites.

Inuyasha stared ahead of him, enjoying the feeling of his mate all around him. This felt perfectly right, but Inuyasha couldn't believe it was real. To think that only a few weeks ago, they were still at each other's throats. And now here they were, holding each other, butt naked and standing for all to see in the pale light of the moon. They were really bonded now, just the two of them and maybe in the future even more. Would he be able to have children?

The thought made Inuyasha unconsciously cover his own belly with his hand. An act that did not go unnoticed by his lover. Sesshoumaru rose his hand to cover Inuyasha's. "Is something wrong, little brother?"

"Beta's can carry children right?" Inuyasha asked. "Will ours be hanyou? Or will I not conceive at all because of my hanyou blood?" Sesshoumaru hummed in pleasure. His mated wanted a family, wanted to give him children. Such thoughts pleases an alpha beyond compare.

"The human blood cannot be removed but our child will mostly be youkai. I do not believe it will suffer the same monthly transformations as you do. They will be strong Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru said as he kissed Inuyasha's cheek. "I'll expect nothing less from you."

Inuyasha turned around in his embrace and kissed the Daiyoukai tenderly. Arms tightly wrapped around his neck. Sesshoumaru hoisted de hanyou in his arms, making his legs encircle his waist. With his little brother in tow, he carried him back to the grass, not once breaking the kiss.

Putting his brother on the soft bedding of the grass, Sesshoumaru stood with all his pride as he massaged his own enlarged dick. Spreading the already overflowing precum to make the entering easier. Inuyasha stared at him with hungry eyes. Already addicted to Sesshoumaru's warmth and the pleasure he gives him. "Hurry, Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha pleaded as Sesshoumaru was taking too long to act. The Daiyoukai did not need to be told twice though. He dropped to his knees and roughly turned Inuyasha around until he too, was on his knees. On all fours, Inuyasha could feel Sesshoumaru looming over him as he felt the prodding in his backside. With the foreign sensation of pain and pleasure, Inuyasha forgot to breathe for a moment. His hind up in the air and his face in the grass, Inuyasha remained still until Sesshoumaru was fully sheathed.

"Ready?" the older panted. Inuyasha nodded and was soon being pushed forwards by Sesshoumaru's force. The Daiyoukai set up a brutal pace and Inuyasha had to steady his hands or else his face would be pushed into the grass and dirt. At some point, Sesshoumaru set up a steady pace as he found Inuyasha's pleasure spot and continuously hit it. "You will conceive, Inuyasha. I will give it to you as many times as needed, and more!" Inuyasha gave a small smile as he heard the words from his mate. "Then do it like you mean it!" He taunted. Sesshoumaru roared and picked up the pace. Long hard thrusts as he made the two of them cum. Burying his seed deep inside his loved one.

Fully sated, Sesshoumaru collapsed on top of Inuyasha. Their breaths mingling at the close proximity. "Damn, I love you" Inuyasha panted. Sesshoumaru smirked.

It had been a week when Kagome finally returned to the feudal era. Her heart broken and lonely with the inevitable loss of her friends that was to come. She had kept to herself that week. Locked away in her room, crying her heart out. Her family was desperate to help but were powerless.

One morning Kagome finally left her room and walked straight into her mother's arms. "I've lost him" she said. With that one sentence she had acknowledged the fact that Inuyasha was now out of her reach, that they were over. The words felt like acid on her tongue.

As she returned, the priestess, slayer, monk and (half)demons gathered at the well. It was time to make the final wish. Sango and Miroku's eyes filled with tears as they had to say goodbye to their dear friend.

"Good luck Kagome, I wish you find the happiness you deserve." Sango said, keeping herself strong.

"May Buddha bless your soul, may he bring you happiness in this life and the next." Miroku chanted.

"Oh Sango, Miroku, I'm going to miss you so much!" She said as she hugged the Taijiya. Shippo jumped onto her shoulder. "Don't go, Kagome!" he said. The girl gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Kagome, I thank ye for sacrificing yer precious time of the future, ye being here has saved us all." Kaede spoke. "I am glad to know my sister's soul has circled its way to new life." Kagome gave a heartfelt smile to the priestess that has helped her so much. Wiping away the tears, Kagome turned around to look at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.

Gathering all her courage, Kagome made and an effort to distance herself from her emotions as she said goodbye to her love. "Inuyasha. I really wish for you to be happy, so.. I'm glad you found someone to share your life with. I hope fate is done with testing you and will give you the rewards you deserve." She said as she closed in on him. With one kiss on the cheek, she wished the final farewell.

"If you're still here in 500 years, I hope you'll come visit me." She joked as she turned around and ran towards the well. Sitting on its ledge, she gave one last farewell as she jumped in and disappeared from the feudal era, for good.

On the other side, Kagome made the wish. 'Sacred jewel, disappear from this world, forever!" the jewel glowed and shattered in a million pieces. Only this time, they could not be recovered again as they vanished into this air. It was over, for good.

Sitting on the bottom of an empty, useless well. Kagome never felt so empty before in her life.

-o-

Miroku had lost his father because of Naraku, and like him he was cursed with the windtunnel. His fate to end up like his father imminent. Sango had to witness her younger brother kill her family, her father, because of Naraku. Inuyasha had lost the one person he finally found after a 150 years of searching for a home. The first person to care for him. And Sesshoumaru.. thanks to Naraku, he found the person he was supposed to mate. He found his little brother, his family, he found Inuyasha.

-o-

"You are going then?" Miroku asked. After losing Kagome, the idea of Inuyasha leaving did not sit well with him. He knew it there was no other option, but it made him feel lonely.

"Yeah it's about high time we went." Inuyasha said. "I'm curious as to what that place looks like too." 'that place' referring to the huge castle waiting for Sesshoumaru's return.

"I'm really happy for you Inuyasha. I hope you'll visit again soon!" Sango said.

"Yeah sure, I'll pop in now and then. Hey say bye to the old bat for me would ya!" Inuyasha asked the slayer. She gave a friendly smile. Feeling empty, Miroku decided it was a good idea to fill his arms with hanyou. Enveloping the unsuspecting young man in a hug. Quickly though, Miroku felt an arm slip in between their stomachs. Jumping back, he saw the Daiyoukai standing behind Inuyasha, his hand protectively on his brother's belly.

"Do not try that again, monk." He said as his only warning. With that he grabbed Inuyasha's hand and walked away. It was time to go home, with his new mate at his side.

"Oi calm down, he was just saying goodbye. 'sides, he's got the hots for Sango."

"If he values his life, he will not touch what belongs to this Sesshoumaru."

Inuyasha could only giggle. "Possessive jackass.."
