Hi guys!

As you know, in my last chapter I said that The Miko's Taiyoukai may be over... well, the following paragraph will be telling you guys exactly what will be happening...

I came home the other day and went on fanfiction,(even though I haven't been on that, or checked my email in almost 3 months.... hehehehh) in order to see how my fan fic was going. I had soo much going on, that my computer lagged and shut down on me.(2000 new messages +____+) I was so happy!!... So happy that... I decided to keep on writing! X3 I just felt too bad not ending it properly, with a huge Sesshy x Kagome kick! So, here you go my friends! Remember, after this comes the epilogue... so you can all look forward to that after!

Please read the last paragraph (The bold part) because once again, it is pretty impotant! Thanks guys!

The Miko's Taiyoukai

Kagome stood over the small grave, almost being brought to tears once again. Sure, Kimi had done some pretty bad stuff, but nobody deserves a death like that. Nobody.

Her mind had been locked on grieving the entire time, even though she had troubles of her own. The night that Kimi passed away the miko had retrieved the last shards of the shikon jewel.

--

Kagome held the shards in her hand and looked at her beaten friends. Only one thing was on everyone's mind, what to do? Kagome had a wish, the wish that everyone granted to her. Everyone encouraged her to wish for whatever she pleased. Which, in some ways was great, but in most, it wasn't. What was she to wish for? How could she wish for it?

Kagome closed her eyes and made her wish silently to herself. Everyone watched, astonished as the young woman began to glow, along with the jewel. The light was so bright that they had to look away. The glowing stopped as Kagome opened her eyes.

"Uwaohh!!" Inuyasha yelled. He let go of Kikyo's hand harshly as everyone turned to see. Color. All of the color came slowly back to the miko's skin, making her once again look alike a human. Even she herself was surprised at her new found skin color.

Inuyasha turned to Kagome "Kagome... you wished for..." He started.

Kagome simply smiled in return. She had wished for Kikyo to become human again. To renew her with a new life.

Inuyasha held Kikyo softly, happy with her human - like warmth.

The jewel in the miko's hand began to glow a sharp yellow. A fresh, cool feeling penetrated everyone's skin and shook their bones as the yellow light touched them. Suddenly, the light dimmed and the jewel vanished. After a few moments of looking around confusedly, everyone sighed. It was like a ton was lifted from their shoulders, like everything was okay now.

Sango ran to Miroku, leaping into his arms. Inuyasha stared embarrassedly at Kikyo and Shippo hugged Kirara. Kagome looked back at Sesshoumaru and smiled. She turned her body around and faced him. They stared at each other blankly before Kagome attacked Sesshoumaru with a hug. Even though she was glad that everyone had lived, she began to cry.

The miko held tightly to the taiyoukai, crying hard. She wasn't sad for the shikon jewel, neither was she sad that they had won. She was crying because that night marked the death of a young woman as well as the end of their journey. She no longer had a reason for being in the feudal era. All that was left was for her to return to her own time. The one thing that she dreaded most.

--

The young Miko carefully placed bright pink and yellow flowers on a small grave, while burning some incense and praying. Once she had finished, she turned to return to the village, where Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and the others awaited her return. She walked down the hill, slowly but surely, thinking of all of the things that she could do at home. She could get a job, find her friends, start a.... family. Kagome winced as she thought of the fact that her life would be forced to continue, without Sesshoumaru.

After a few minutes, Kagome returned to the village, but not for long. This was only to say goodbye, before Sesshoumaru brought her back to the well. Sango stoof as the miko entered the hut.

"Kagome... i'm.. really going to miss you. I can't believe that you're leaving.. we've been together for so long.." The demon slayers eyes filled with tears as Kagome embraced her kindly.

"I don't want to leave either. But theres no reason for me to be here anymore, i'd simply be a burden. And anyways, I wouldn't survive one day, honestly! But Sango.." Kagome looked her right in the eyes. "I truly will miss you." Both girls began blubbering on each other, laughing at the same time.

Kagome stopped laughing as she noticed the miko standing to her left. Kikyo bowed gracefully.

"Thank you. To you Kagome, I owe more than I could possibly repay." Kikyo said graciously.

Kagome giggled quietly. she never thought that Kikyo would ever thank her for anything.

"It's alright..." Inuyasha approached and smiled shyly. He stood beside Kikyo and held her hand.

"That... goes for me too." he said kindly. Kagome smiled and continued her goodbyes. After almost a half an hour, Kagome exited the hut and turned to the one person she would miss the most.

"Are you ready?" Sesshoumaru asked. The young woman nodded and held the taiyoukai's hand. The strolled together silently, until they reached the bone eaters well, Kagome's only portal home. She turned towards the taiyoukai and smiled sweetly. She didn't want to say it, but she knew she would have to someday.

"Goodbye, Sesshoumaru." the miko blushed slightly "I... think i'm going to.. miss you more than anyone else..."

Sesshoumaru looked down at the miko, withholding his emotions

"As.. will I."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshoumaru's mind began to jumble. She continued to speak as if they would never meet again, she couldn't be going to that far of a village, cold she? He could always visit her or bring her back to his camp site for a while. She was speaking like as if she was leaving forever, going to the other end of the world.

Kagome turned from the taiyoukai as she set her foot onto the well. Her hair blew wildly beside her, her light pink kimono wrinkling upon the wind's soft touch.

"Goodbye, Sesshoumaru."

Suddenly, the young woman stepped backwards and into the well, falling instantly. Sesshoumaru lept over to the side of the well, bending over. The well was deep, too deep for any human to fall. He took a long, deep breath and dove in, searching for the miko. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as he realized that he simply continued to fall. A cold blue light surronded him, eating away at the darkness. He tried swatting at it, but that made no difference. Finally, a light appeared infront of him, the taiyoukai lept towards it and was once again surrounded by a bright light.

Sesshoumaru pushed through the light and was submereged into darkness. Thick, mossy alls surrounded him, unwilling to break. Above, a faint light sat. Suddenly, Sesshoumaru could hear Kagome's voice once more, calling someone. He guessed that this was some type of other dimention, but decided that he might as well find out for himself.

He lept upwards and out of the well. There, he saw Kagome's back and swiftly grabbed her arm. She swung around quickly and stood in surprise. Sesshoumaru stood filled with anger, confusion and relief. But Kagome's face held only confusion.

"But... thats not... it's... but.. I..." Kagome stuttered and tried to find her words, though none were found.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome stood before the taiyoukai, stuttering like a school girl confessing to the guy she likes. How? She thought to herself. Only Inuyasha.. only Inuyasha could come, because of the beads.. but... Sesshoumaru can't, can he? Miroku or Shippo couldn't, so why can he...?

The young woman's eyes widened as she realized how and why he was there.

"I... when I... had the shikon jewel... I also wished... that we could be together... forever." Kagome covered her mouth, as if she had just said a dirty word. Her eyes began to well up with tears that soon rolled down her cheeks. Her hands dropped to her sides and her head hung. Tears began to stream down Kagome's face while she hung her head. She wiped her tears and slowly lifted her head, revealing a beautyfull, cheery smile. She extended her hand kindly to Sesshoumaru, who quickly pulled her into an embrace.

"Sesshoumaru. Let's be together... forever.... my Taiyoukai."
