Hey guys. Im bored with nothing better to do. So, why not make the Sequel to 'No Way To Return'? I see no reason not to. Man, Im bored. I dont even know how Im gonna start this. Well hope you enjoy this fic 'The Love Never Dies'.

Chapter 1: Strong Love

Kagome sat in Kaede's hut. It had been exactly eight months since the incident with the well closing. Not much had changed. Miroku and Sango had become closer, but not too much was different about them. Miroku still groped. Sango still hit. Inuyasha and Kagome weren't any closer than they already were. Not much had changed about them either. They still argued. Sakura and her father, Kazunari, had stayed in Kaede's village because Sakura didn't wanna be separated from the Inu Tachi. Her father couldn't refuse her. Shippo had grown an inch. And Kirarra just played all day.

Kagome sighed remembering those months ago when she was separated from her family for the longest of times. Now, being a graduate from high school, and the semi-girl-friend of Inuyasha, she's thankful for that month she was away from them. In a way.

Kaede noticed Kagome spacing out and waved a hand in her face. Kagome blinked and looked at Kaede.

"Yes, Kaede-baba?" She asked. She had been helping Kaede for the past couple of months with herbs and births. It was quite tiring.

"Kagome, child, I need ye to go check on the pregnant Hitomiko. Her young one should be entering the world soon."

Kagome nodded, then got up and straightened her miko robes. Kaede had also been training Kagome, and she was required to wear the miko robes. Otherwise, she would've been wearing sweaters and maybe a scarf or two, in this cool autumn weather.

She shivered as a gust of wind hit her and she continued down the path to Hitomiko's house. She looked up at the sky and could tell it was going to rain soon. She'd had better hurry.

She walked a little more, wishing she had brung a shawl. Or that there was a such thing as down-jackets in the Sengoku Jiidai. Kagome shuddered more and walked. Hitomiko's hut was coming up a little further ahead in the distance.

Kagome sneezed and felt something warm go around her shoulders. She turned to see InuYasha standing there with his arms folded and he was walking right next to her.

"When did you get here?" She asked. Inuyasha shrugged. "I was here from the start. You just were too stupid to notice." He said.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Whatever. You were worried about me, so you followed. I thought you were out with Miroku hunting for dinner?" She asked.

"Stupid monk. Cant hunt without accidentally sucking my prey into the windtunnel. I would've been better off with Sango."

Kagome giggled and pulled Inuyasha's haori tighter around her.

"Aren't you cold? Maybe you should have this back." She said.

Inuyasha snorted. "As if I would be cold in this harmless weather. Only pathetic humans get cold so easily."

"Whatever. Are you gonna wait outside for me, or are you going to come in while I give Hitomiko her checkup?"

"I'd rather wait outside. I prefer not to get looks from everyone in the hut."

Kagome sighed. He was right. Hitomiko and her family hated demons. Hanyous especially. She didn't need Kaede's patients hating her because she was with a hanyou.

The two finally reached the hut. Kagome turned to Inuyasha.

"See ya in a bit. Okay?" Kagome said, leaning up and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.

Inuyasha almost whimpered when she pulled away, but he just nodded and hopped in the tree beside the hut.

Kagome walked in and Hitomiko smiled warmly.

"Hello priestess Kagome. Are you here to inspect my child?"

Kagome nodded and looked around for a bit. She realized no one was there but those two.

"Where's your husband?" She asked, sitting down in front of Hitomiko.

"Oh, he's off getting lumber for the fire." She said, switching her sitting position.

"Mhm." Kagome mumbled as she stared at Hitomiko's stomach. One would find it quite weird that Kagome was just staring at her, but actually she was checking for an aura.

Kagome finally stopped staring then nodded. "Well, the aura is a little dimmer than usual. Or should I say auras? You're having twins."

Hitomiko gasped. "A-are you serious? Im really giving birth to twins?" She asked.

Kagome smiled and nodded. "Yup, you sure are. But, I suggest you eat more fruits and vegetables, to brighten up that aura a little bit."

Hitomiko nodded. "Thank you for all of your help priestess Kagome."

Kagome nodded, then got up. "No problem. And, call me Kagome. Or even Kagome-chan. Spare me the formalities. Well, I'll be going now." She said.

Hitomiko nodded. "Take care Kagome!" She shouted as Kagome walked out of the door.

Inuyasha watched Kagome leave out of Hitomiko's hut. Maybe he should wait a little, before jumping down. But then he decides against it and jumps anyway.

"AHH!!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha only smirked. Kagome scowled, now.

"Must you always do that!" She yelled, holding her hand to her heart and breathing hard. Inuyasha almost laughed. Almost.

"Aren't miko's supposed to expect this kind of stuff? God, what the hell is Kaede teaching you?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and walked ahead of him. Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow and hopped in front of her.

"What?" Kagome snapped. He guessed it. She was mad. Very stupid thing to get mad over though.

"Kagome, you aren't mad are you?" He asked. Kagome frowned. "You shouldn't have surprised me like that." She pouted.

"Ah, shut up." Inuyasha said, wrapping his arm around her waist.

Kagome giggled and tried to get loose. No such luck.

"Inuyasha, I have to go to Kaede!" She whined. This only caused Inuyasha to smirk.

"Ah, you deal with Kaede too much. The old hag has you wrapped around her wrinkly fingers. Relax."

Kagome smiled. He really was desperate, wasn't he? Then again, they hadn't been alone in about a week, with Kagome running around doing errands for Kaede.

"I'll relax after I come back from Kaede's." She said, still trying to get loose.

"Uh unh. No way." Inuyasha said, picking her up bridal style and hopping off into the forest.

"Inuyasha! What are you doing?!" Kagome yelled, yanking his forelocks.

"Ow! Im making you relax!" He yelled back at her.

No sooner than 5 minutes, they were standing at the base of the Goshinboku. Kagome stared at the tree in admiration. This tree was one of the main things that brought them together. Had she not freed him, she would've been in her time at some dingy college.

Inuyasha gripped her waist tighter and leapt up to the highest branch of it.

He adjusted Kagome in his haori more and looked at the sun, that was slowly setting.

"See? Isn't this much better than going to old Kaede?" He said, kissing her on the forehead.

Kagome giggled and continued to look at the sun. Everything looked so much better up here. She had an entire bird's eye view of the village, and even the other forest beyond the village.

Kagome sighed contentedly. She snuggled into his back more.

"Told ya you'd enjoy relaxing more."

Kagome let out a small laugh and looked up at Inuyasha, who was looking down at her with his kind amber eyes.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yesm'?" He answered playfully.

"You're an idiot." She said, leaning up and kissing him on the nose. They both turned and continued to look at the sunset.

Heh, they thought nothing could break them apart. Until now.
