Yasha sat down outside of the hut. He didn't mind missing Azami for a month but for the rest of his life?

Kagome walked out of the hut to see her son staring at the ground. "Cheer up." She told her son.

"I can't." he whispered.

Kagome knelt down. "You are still young, you will find someone else to like."

"It's not that. What if something happens to Azami and I am not there to help her?" Yasha whined out.

Kagome sighed; she knew Azami did need to get away from her father. "Yasha, we can't do anything about it. She is a strong girl, plus she has Kyubi to talk to. She will miss you but she will get over it. She will find someone else as long as you do."

That was his problem though; he didn't want her to find someone else. Yasha's head jerked up when he heard his father and uncle yelling at each other. He tried not to show that he was sad when either was around or they would continually tell him that men don't cry. He was so tired of that phrase.

"I am telling you, you need to use a walking stick for a few weeks." Inuyasha complained.

"And I am telling you younger brother to leave me alone. I can walk on my own."

"You are too stubborn for your own good. Kagome knows what she is doing and she told you to stay off your leg as much as possible. That means using a walking stick when you walk." Inuyasha argued back.

Kagome sighed, "Sorry hun, I have to go stop them before they kill each other." Kagome gave her son a kiss on the forehead, then started to run to the brothers. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, great! Kagome you're here! Tell this moronic brother of mine that he needs to stay off his leg when…"

Yasha stopped listening to the conversation. He felt like he had no one to talk to now. Azami was a thing of his past, Shiho turned out to be his father who was busy talking to his uncle, and everyone else in this time got tired of always having to figure out what he was saying if he would say something that was only in the future. The month here was great but he loved knowing deep down that he was going to be back with his friends at the end of that month.

While his parents were busy he decided to take this time to visit the sacred tree. At least that was something that was in both times…

Azami sat at the bottom of the sacred tree as everyone that was near the shrine was crying or talking with another. She was currently within the little fence that surrounded the tree as she laid her back against the tree. Her tears where genuine, ones of true sadness, unlike everyone else who was here. They all somehow knew Kagome or Yasha but it sickened her to see the majority talk to each other as if it were any other day and the ones who were crying were obviously crying fake tears.

She knew something was wrong, Yasha wouldn't die that easily. There was no way a boat crash would kill both his mother and him. They were both so strong. She started to tear up as she tried to figure out what could have happened. She also found it odd that they went on a boat when she knew they were in the feudal era. Oddly enough, they never found the bodies and Kagome's mother claims they probably got eaten by sharks…talk about hoping for the best. She assumed it as soon as they didn't come back within two days.

Something caught her attention on the bottom of the tree.

She bent the grass to the side to reveal a message, 'I'll find you one day.' She looked around, something wasn't right, it was obvious. "He is alive." She whispered as she smiled with a tear running down her cheek, "I have to prove it. By any means necessary, I will prove that he is alive." She said getting up as Kagome's mother came over.

"Hello Azami." She gave an odd smile to Azami.

"Hello." She answered back, glad that she didn't hear her just then.

"Yasha would want you to have this." She whispered as she pulled out the bow from behind her back. "He would always say how it was your favorite."

Azami took the bow and smiled, "Thanks." She said as his grandmother turned to leave. That proved it right there. Something was up, she told him to never tell anyone that this bow was her favorite- that was between them.

She also noticed how his grandmother never cried during this funeral. She had so many people crying around her and they all missed one or the other but she never cried. Kagome's mother just lost her daughter and grandson…of course she would cry.

That was it, she would find out what really happened- she wouldn't rest until she figured out what happened to them. She only had one thought though- he went back into that feudal era. Since the well wouldn't allow her in unless if she was with Yasha she would have to find another way to prove it.

She clutched the bow, perhaps there was a way to prove that he was alive but in the past. She would figure it out, even if it killed her…

A black hair woman was at her job, she was the boss of this site. Today the sun was blazing down on everyone as she took a drink from her water bottle. Everyone around her was busy digging. She had to make sure they excavate as much as possible, leaving nothing unturned. She went into her tent to look over her notes. She had calculations on maps that would tell her how far to dig and where she should dig. Everyone was starting to loose moral however when they were to the depth that she said they would find something and nothing was there.

Then she heard a yell outside as a man came running in, "Ms. Azami, we found something. We found something that you may want to see."

Azami ran out and saw what she was looking for sitting there as everyone worked to get it unburied. She smiled, "Everyone who is working right now will get a ten percent pay increase if this is something of value." She said as everyone cheered around her as two where working on taking the item out off the ground gently.

Azami pushed them out of the way as she grabbed a brush and went to unburying it herself. It was finally in her hands.

Azami started to cry as she held the artifact in her arms. "I can't believe it." she whispered.

"Is it what you are looking for?" one of them asked.

"Does a thousand dollar bonus for everyone sound like it?" she asked as everyone clapped. "Plus everyone can have the day off. I have found what I needed." She yelled as everyone smiled and walked off to put there stuff away and clean up.

Fifteen years had passed since she last walked up the steep stairs of the shrine. It had been fifteen years since she saw her middle school crush. She always had this feeling that he was alive. She knew it deep down and she had spent her past eleven years or so trying to find the evidence she needed. She held up what she hoped would be enough; the only problem was, now that she had something of proof- where did she go from there? She stopped when she got in front of the sacred tree, "Well Yasha, I have proof. Proof that you are still alive." She smiled. Staring at the tree, "But where do I go to prove that I still want you?"

She turned when she heard a door open, the only thing was no one came out of the house, in fact the house door wasn't open then she noticed the well house doors open. "Who is there?" she heard a male ask. She couldn't see who it was…he was hiding in the shadows.

"I am sorry to intrude here; I am Azami- an old friend of someone who used to live here." She said clutching her artifact.

He couldn't believe it, Azami was there. "What are you doing here?" he asked staying in the shadows.

"I need to speak to Yasha." She said- her voice was enough to show she was no longer a child but a woman.

The man was silent for a minute before speaking, "He is dead." He whispered with pain within his voice.

"No, you have to know, I found something. I knew it was impossible. Please can I see who I am talking too? I have proof to show that my thoughts aren't just random but actual facts."

The man sighed, "I can't do that."

"Please, it took me eleven years of digging to find this, I think I should at least get some credit and know who I am talking to. I would think that after so long- I can get the truth and not some made up lie."

"I am sorry but I can't." the man still stood in the shadows.

"I will leave this shrine and everything once I know who you are."

"That's the problem you won't leave- you will stay even more."

"Please." The woman begged.

He sighed as he walked into the light with his ears pressed back. He stared at her, she grew up so much. The girl he remembered was now a grown woman.

"Yasha." She whispered.

Yasha nodded, "You are right." He let out a grin.

Azami dropped her artifact and ran at him as she wrapped her arms around him crying. "I thought I would never see you again. But I knew you weren't really dead. I knew it." she yelled. "Even Kyubi told me I was crazy but I knew. He told me to give up long ago. I spent so long trying to prove it."

"Azami calm down." Yasha whispered, they were both fully grown. Yasha had the same built as his father but Azami still seemed so fragile in his eyes. He easily towered over her by at least six inches if not more.

"I can't calm down. I knew this whole time. I have to tell someone, I have to prove that I am not crazy." Azami yelled pulling at his shirt to have him come with her.

"No you can't." Yasha said standing still. "I need to be in the other era, I am dead here. The Yasha here is no more."

"Can we at least talk?" Azami pleaded. "I need to talk with you and realize why all this happened, please."

"I can't, I wasn't suppose to see you again. My mom said I shouldn't talk to you anymore. I am now in the other era."

"Please, I have so much to talk to you about."

"Azami we can't be together. We are in two different eras now."

"What? Do you have someone else? Did you find another girl?"

Yasha was taken aback, "No, I could never find anyone like you, you should know that."

"Then please at least let me talk to you."

Yasha sighed, "Let me go change and get my cap." He said as he walked into his house. He came out several minutes later dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and a cap over his head. He yelled back into the house, "I know Uncle Sota…I am just going out. I got the baseball cap. Don't worry; I ain't going to her house. Yes, I know that was reckless." he then looked back at Azami, "Sorry my uncle gets worried when I leave to go into the city. Where too?"

"Who's house were you referring too?" Azami asked.

Yasha looked away embarrassed. "Ten years ago, I went back to your old house to see if I could find you. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. The place was empty and my cap flew off in the wind. It was a mess."

Azami smiled, "Let's go to the diner my treat." She said as the two walked all the way there in silence.

As they sat down Yasha was the first to speak, "What happened to your dad?"

"He…was arrested, he is in jail." She said looking away.

"For what?" Yasha asked, knowing the answer already.

"A little after you left- he started to make fun of me saying that no one could stand to be around me. He said that you probably died because I was spending too much time with you. I got tired of hearing it so I did the only thing a teenager could think to do- I tried to hit him. He didn't like it and beat me pretty bad. The neighbors finally found out about it and they called the cops. I was in the hospital for a few weeks. After, I was sent from foster parent to foster parent for two years." She looked away.

"What happened after that?"

"I still wanted to look for you but the only way to make any money was to work at a…" she went silent looking away.

"Where did you work?" Yasha asked seriously.

"A prostitution ring." She whispered as she blushed, she could tell Yasha got tense as she had to say something to make him understand. "I had to get money and for someone with no parents, that was the only way."

"Then what?" Yasha asked wanting to avoid that period of time as he felt his blood boil knowing what she did but trying not to think about it.

"After being there for four months a man with silver hair came by and handed me a wad of money. He looked so much like you, I accidentally called him Yasha. He claimed he wasn't, that he 'had no clue who this Yasha was.' He said that if I promised to put the money to good use then I may keep it. I also had to leave the place."

"And you did." Yasha said.

"Yes, I left that same day. There was so much money in my hand from such a generous stranger. I invested in hiring some archeologists and invested some of the money into some stocks." Azami smiled, "Turned out my stocks did really well. Before I knew it, I was making millions. No one has ever accumulated money in stocks like I did. It still wasn't enough though. I could have ended everything there. I could have married any man I wanted to in this world. I still have so much in the bank. I could have lived happily in my dream home and with everything I could ever dream of. I was in the paper as the richest woman alive. Every guy was at my doorstep asking me out."

"Why didn't you stop there?"

"Because I knew the truth, I knew you were alive. I just had to prove it. So, when my archeologists that I hired claimed that I was crazy for not telling them what I wanted them out there for. I went to school to be an archeologist and then started digging everywhere I could, just to find something. I was arrested a few times for not having a permit to dig in certain spots. I started hiring all my friends that I went to school with and they had other friends who I hired, I used millions to hire enough people. Just today someone I was working with found this." She said holding out the artifact.

"That's my moms…"

"Bow, I knew the markings right away and then I found inside it her name, and your name. I knew it was the bow on your wall, the one that your mom used to save us in your time." She looked close to tears. "When I saw it snapped in half, I was worried that maybe it broke and you guys were truly dead."

"You found it snapped? In the mountains right?"

"Yes that's right."

"A while back, a demon took my mom's bow and snapped it before we could do anything. It was old; we knew it would go any time. My father and I had to jump in and save her. We left the bow there deciding that it had little value and that we could always get a new one." He said staring at it in his hands. The only thing was who was that silver haired man that gave her the money?

The door to the store caught Yasha's attention as it opened and it revealed two people coming in. He watched as Azami ordered not noticing Yasha's attention was diverted. They sat down talking and he noticed the man's silver hair. They both wore caps and jeans and a shirt. Could his parents live that long? He wondered as he watched then he noticed the girls scent, it was recognizable to him anywhere. That was Azami…an older version of Azami. She was a half dog demon like him. "Yasha? Yasha?" he was brought out of his trance when Azami kept yelling his name. "Come on tell the waiter what you want."

"Sorry just a burger and fries thank you. Oh and water with lemon."

"Very well." The waiter said as he walked off.

The older version Yasha looked up at them before he quickly put the menu to his face whispering something to the girl as she looked behind her to look at them. They then giggled and quickly walked out leaving a big wad of money and no food ordered yet. A big lump grew in his throat as he realized what he had to do, "Azami" he whispered.

Should he do this? Would his parents be mad?

"Yes?"

Yasha took a deep breath, "Would you like to come live in the feudal era with me?"

"Seriously?" Azami asked.

Yasha looked at the older versions of the two walking out of the building; he didn't want her to come. It was dangerous when you didn't know that place. But looking at the two sitting there he realized that she would make it and everything would turn out the way it should, "Yes" he smiled. "Come on. I will bring you over today." He said happily. "My mom and dad will have my head for this but that's okay."

"Thank you so much Yasha!" she said giving him a hug. "I just have to go use the bathroom." She said as she got up to run to the bathroom.

Yasha got up once she was in the bathroom and walked out of the restaurant and to the older versions of themselves. He pat the older version him on the back, "You gave her the money didn't you?" Yasha whispered.

They both nodded, "She will find out later, just remember to do the same thing when you get older." The older version winked.

Yasha nodded, "Can I ask you how Azami becomes half demon?"

The older version of Azami chuckled as they both looked at each other. The older version Yasha then whispered, "I probably shouldn't say. If I told you then it might not happen the way it should."

"Are my parents still alive?" Yasha asked.

"Yes" the older Azami said getting a glare from her husband. "He should get to know. Kagome will live as long as Inuyasha. She will figure it out when she doesn't age. That was what the change was when she was lifted up when your father came to be. Could you believe that I had to figure it out and I wasn't even there?"

"Where did you guys come from?" he asked.

"Far out of town." Older Azami said. "We just came by for some lunch."

"Thanks again for helping Azami."

Younger version Azami ran up next to Yasha, "Come on Yash. I am ready to go." She said smiling before realizing he was talking to two strangers. "You." She whispered pointing at the man. "You are the one who gave me the money!"

"Yes. It is me. I see you did as I said."

"Thank you so much. You don't know how much it helped me." She said shaking his hand, not noticing that her future was standing right there.

The older Yasha smiled looking at the woman standing next to him. "I am sure I know how much it helped." The two started to laugh.

"Please take this card, it is my bank card. I have like four of them anyways. This one has the most money in it. Please accept this as my gratitude. I will go over right now with you and change my name to yours."

"I can't."

"No please, I won't need it anymore." Azami smiled.

The older version Yasha smiled taking the card, "Thanks. Let's go. No need to change the name we will keep it in case you ever need it again." The two walked away laughing as if it were an inside joke. Yasha knew the truth- Azami was already there so she could keep going as if nothing changed.

Azami thought they were odd but was too excited to care, "Before we go can I just give my business to my friend? She believed in me so much, I know it would mean a lot if I gave her the rest of my business."

"She?" Yasha asked.

"Oh yes." Azami smiled as she grabbed her cell phone and made a phone call. "Hey, Yeah, I have some great news…Oh you already heard! Well meet me at the bank, I have even better news for you!" she said happily before she hung up.

They walked to the bank as they waited for the woman to arrive. As soon as she walked toward them, Yasha's eyes widened.

"Hey!" Azami yelled as she ran to her hugging her tightly.

"Yash this is Nashi, Nashi this is Yash." Nashi wore a hat on her head much like Yasha always did.

"Hey Yasha, I heard so much about you!"

"Is that so?"

"Oh yeah, all through college she told me about her idea, she would never let it go. I stood by her the whole time. I told her that when she found you- she had to give me whatever money she had left over" Nashi winked, "It was a joke of course."

"I have great news!" Azami said to the woman, "I am going to give you the company and you can do whatever you want! I won't need it anymore. I guess our joke can be more seriously than you thought."

Nashi laughed, "Sure! Why don't you go get the paper work started, I will be right there."

"Of course." Azami was so excited; she was acting like her teenage self.

Nashi wait until Azami was gone before speaking, "Well Yasha, I was waiting for this day."

"So you are her."

"Yep. I knew this would come, I just had to wait." She winked. "You guys have a great time in the other era. I couldn't wait to get her money- I knew it was a matter of time."

"Can you tell me how she becomes half demon?" Yasha asked.

Nashi smiled, "Nah, if I do then it may not happen."

Yasha nodded, "Well let's go get those papers signed."

"Just think you get the girl!"

"Yeah and you get her money." Yasha joked as he held the door open. "I would say ladies first but you don't act too much like a lady."

"You would be surprised at how different someone can be in five hundred years." She said laughing as she walked in as Yasha followed behind.

"Guess I am going to find out." Yasha mumbled.

"Your life has only begun." She winked and Yasha smiled, he was glad to be able to know that his life was going to be great from here on out.

After the banking papers were signed and the company was pushed into Nashi's name. Azami was ready to go; she was ready to start her new life.

"Hold on Azami. Can I speak to Nashi alone?" Yasha asked.

"Sure." Azami ran off.

Yasha turned to Nashi. "Thank you so much for taking care of her. Thanks for make sure she never gave up looking."

Nashi smiled. "No big deal. I know how much she means to you."

Somehow everything seemed like it fell into place. Yasha got Azami and would be with her for a long time. He walked out of the bank to see Azami sitting on a park bench kicking her legs back and forth as if she were a child.

"You ready?" Yasha asked.

"You bet!" Azami said as she jumped up.

Yasha laughed, "We are going to have to explain a lot of this to my parents when we get back."

"I have no problem as long as ever day is spent with you."

"Same here." Yasha smiled as they interlocked arms and walked down the street.

Towards the well…towards their new life.

The last chapter is always the saddest =( But it isn't fully the last one if you want to be technical cuz I am going to put out the alternate ending! Those will probably be about three chapter all together in order to fit everything in. But it wont be for a while- first day of classes were today and I already have like two hours of homework- I hate college.

I thank you guys for reviewing and joining in on my last fanfiction for quite a while. That's right, I am retiring my fanfiction career for a year or so- I'm sad too! I want to do this so that I can work on my very own novel! Yay!!!

I have a great idea but I need time to be able to write it and I can't write it when I have to read over other stuff. Plus college is starting back up and well…it gets tough to write stories and finish class deadlines. Sorry for this all of a sudden turn of events to my loyal followers- I promise I will come back one day with another story (I have at least two more that are completed and just need to be reread and posted) I just feel like I need a break from this so that I can write my very own story!

As those who are loyal know- I am bad at names so if you want to come up with names (male and female) that I could us in a novel then either leave it in a review or send me a PM with the name (first and last), what nationality would fit it, personality you think of when you hear it, and of course- male or female. IF, and that is a pretty big if, but if, I ever get it published- I will make sure to let you all know since you guys love my writing so much! I really hope it comes out as well as I am hoping- my writing has improved so much since I started on here.

Like I said, I will be back one day with another Inuyasha story but until then it was nice getting to know you guys and if you still want to talk to me once in a while let me know and I can talk to you on AIM. Just note that I will be busy in school so don't feel bad if I rarely talk to you within the next four to five months.

Love you all and can't wait to hear what you guys thought of this last chapter!!! Thank you all so much for reading this!!! Like I said some time within the next few months I will still put out the alternate ending. THANKS FOR REVIEWING!
