Here's my final chappie of "We'll Meet Again."
It's been a day ever since Totosai has started to fix Tenshi's (a/n: The name Tenshi means 'angel' if ya were wondering...and if you wern't then I guess that's just another thing you learned today, huh?) sword so she could get home.
Shortly after Tenshi had handed over her sword over to Totosai to fix, our favorite hanyou was getting very suspicious of this 'Tenshi' woman. He had a feeling that she had been lying about her name and he could have sworn that he had seen some sort of silver and red mark had been resting between where her neck and shoulder met. Inuyasha had also tried confronting the woman that looked so much like his long dead mate, he could also see that she did not have the scent of the living but that of something else. Getting even more curious, Inuyasha had even asked Chirii about it and she had noticed as well but decided to dismiss it on account the woman Tenshi was leaving in about half a day or so and she didn't much care for wanting to find out why the woman who appeared in her early twenties had a scent that had seemed slightly off and suggested that Inuyasha ignore it as well. However, as we all know, our stubborn hanyou friend refused to back down until he got some proper answer.
"Ugh, this is getting to fucking annoying. If this baka is to stubborn to say anything to me about whatever he wants to ask me then I'll ask him instead." Tenshi thought to her.
"Uh, Inuyasha?" Tenshi called out to the hanyou, who was lost in thought, laying on the 'roof' of Totosai's home.
"What is it bitch?" A grumbled voice answered back.
"Oh, I sincerely want to say his 'favorite' word although that would blow my cover."
"You've been looking and acting strange ever since we got here. What's wrong?"
"I don't have anything to talk about, especially to someone I don't know."
"Inuyasha don't take me for a fucking baka. I know for a fact that you spoke to Chirii about my smell and your thinking that I had lied about my name. So fess up. Tell me what you've been wanting to say."
Inuyasha's ears perked up at the fact that she knew why he was acting the way he was. Then he jumped off the 'roof' and landed in front of the young woman.
"All right, then." Inuyasha began. "Why are you really here and were you truely lying about your name?"
"My sword." She looked down at her hip and lightly grabbed the dark gray hilt. "Wanted to come here, it told me that it wanted to see someone but it wouldn't tell me. As for the lying about name thing...yes I did lie about it. But I don't give out my actual name to people I don't particularly now."
"So your tellin' me that 'Tenshi' isn't your real name." Inuyasha repeated back to her.
The woman who lied about her name nodded.
"Does Totosai know your true name then since you said that he's an old friend of yours?"
The young woman, again, nodded.
"Yes, but I made Totosai swear no matter what to never tell anyone my actual name. So you go a try and force the answer out of Totosai you might as well not to because he won't tell you even if you beat him to a bloody pulp." She told him. "Anything else?"
"Yeah. Why is your scent to funny?"
"I'm actually dead...and no I'm not in a articial body. What your looking at is, is actually me as a soul."
"How did you die and how long have you been dead?"
Instead of answering his question right away, the young long black haired woman turned to looked at the sun setting and finally said.
"You should already know that Inuyasha. If not then you are the baka and not me." Giving the silver haired hanyou a deep look in his golden eyes as soon as she turned her head back to him. But it wasn't just any kind of deep look, it was the kind that was staring straight through you and looked right at your very soul. After a while, Inuyasha and the woman were interupted by Totosai's voice.
"Oi! Tenshi! Your sword is finished!" He called out.
"Thank you Totosai." She thanked him in her head, grateful for the interuption and walked over to Totosai to retrieve her now fixed weapon so she could go home.
"Wait." Inuyasha whispered, finally understanding what she meant. "Please. Please tell me your name." He almost sounded as if he were on the verge of tears.
Deciding not to answer him, the young woman continued to walk to Totosai.
"Here you are Tenshi." Totosai handed her the sword. "Good as new."
"Thank you very much Totosai." She bowed her head slightly to him noting her thanks and turned to leave, only to be stopped by his hand that grasped onto her wrist.
"You need to tell him. I know you. You won't be returning ever again." Totosai looked at the black colored hilt that allowed her to grasp onto her sword without cutting her during the process. "It was telling me why you came here and I think Inuyasha has the right to know."
"I know that." She responded, looking down at her sword that had the dark gray colored hilt. "Dai has been telling me to tell Inuyasha as well." She covered her eyes with her bangs. "Don't worry about it, I'll tell him before I leave."
"Very well." He said, releasing her wrist, allowing her to exit his home.
Walking outside, the young woman made her way into the middle of the field and stopped in the middle of it and drew her newly fixed sword only for it to be blocked by another. It was Tetsusaiga.
"Your not leaving until I get my answer bitch." Inuyasha growled dangerously, eyes no longer their golden color but glowed blood red and complete with blue irises.
"Well, forgive me Hanyou." She growled back. "But your not getting that answer. So I suggest you move before you get seriously hurt."
"And if I refuse?" He arched a brow.
"I don't have time for you. I need to get home to Kaori." Then before Inuyasha could react, the girl resheathed her sword an grabbed the other and swung the sword with all of her strength, thrusting Inuyasha about ten feet backwards causing him to skid against the ground until he finally stopped.
Before Inuyasha could sit up to look at the small woman, he found a small foot pressing against his chest holding him down to the ground. When he loooked up at the girl above him, he saw it.
Tears were running down her cheeks. But now instead of having those transparent violet colored eyes, they were now the beautiful blue color Inuyasha had loved so much eight years ago. He could also get a proper smell of her scent.
"Now do you see who I am Inuyasha? Has it finally clicked into your thick skull?"
"Ka-Kago.." Inuyasha was unable to get the rest out, for he to, had tears running down his face then the small foot that was pressing against his chest and the woman he now figured out to be his love, sheathed her sword and once again pulled out her black hilted one and thrusted it out to her left. Showing only half of the sword was missing and she spoke one word.
"Open." And turned the sword like if you were turning a key that you stuck into a keyhole on your door. After she did that a circular door appeared and openned for her, shortly after openning a little girl, that looked scarely a lot like the hanyou laying on the ground in shock, appeared through the door and threw herself to the woman. The little girl about the age of four instead of eight.
"Mama!" The little girl hugged the woman's right leg. "I missed you!" She giggled showing a small pair of fangs. Then looked over to Inuyasha and went completely wide-eyed.
"Mama? Who is that man? And why does he smell kinda like me?" The girl asked her mother.
"Kaori. I'd like you to meet Inuyasha. Your father." The little girl's mother introduced. Causing Inuyasha's own eyes to widen at the woman's declaration.
"But why does he live here while we have to live in the place we live in now?"
"Because he can't come live with us dear. I know it's hard for you to understand but he just can't. Now go back into bedroom." The woman that Inuyasha now knew was Kagome, said to the small silver haired girl.
The little girl named Kaori pouted, showing that she didn't want to go back, and turned around and walked back through the door to wait for her mother to follow.
As soon as she did, Inuyasha rose to his feet and stood before Kagome.
"Please don't go Kagome." Inuyasha pleaded through tears.
"Inuyasha." She shook her head. "What was the last thing I said before I died?"
"We'll meet again. Aishteiru."
"That we would meet again."
"And we did, even though we weren't supposed to." She smiled. "I'll wait for you on the other side. When it's your time."
"I can't wait that long Kagome. Please stay here. Please." He pleaded.
"You have to." She paused. " Inuyasha, I know it will be hard. Believe me, I know. I've been going through it for the past eight years, knowing I couldn't be with you until it was your time to pass." Then Kagome turned to Chirii, who was in shock to find out that they were with the woman that she and her elder sister had known as a mother to them.
"I want to you to make sure Inuyasha lives until he has to leave this world and go onto the next. Understand?" She said in a firm tone.
The inu youkai nodded, knowing that if they allowed Inuyasha to do that then Kagome would unless all hell on her furry little ass.
"Good." She nodded, looking at them then looked at Inuyasha and smiled.
Then she turned her attention to Yanalii.
"You have to come back to Yanalii. You know that right?"
Yanalii nodded grimly and walked over to Kagome and stood beside her.
Now it was Chirii's turn to cry.
"Yana? What does she mean by that?" Chirii whispered, frightened.
Yanalii took a deep breath.
"Do you remember when I disappeared for a week last year?"
Chirii nodded.
"Well, I wasn't paying much attention and a huge youkai caught me by surprise and ripped me to shreds. Killing me within seconds." Yanalii stared up at Kagome then looked back at her younger sister. "That was when Kagome appeared and took me to this world where their was a village filled with souls of the old and young who either passed on recently, a few years ago, or centuries ago. I stayed there for about a day or so and somehow managed to leave that world and make my way back here and to this era."
"However, a soul can't stay out of a physical body for no more than seven to eight months without slowly withering away." Kagome explained.
"Is that why you've been hurting so much lately?" Inuyasha asked Yanalii..
Yanalii nodded, looking back at her sister.
"Do as Kagome says Chirii and look after Inuyasha. Just like you have been for the past eight years." Then she walked up to her baby sister and pressed her left cheek to Chirii's.
"I love you Chirii. I always will." She stood back from her sister and returned to Kagome. "Let's go?"
Kagome nodded and offered Yanalii to go first. She did.
Soon after Kagome followed and the circular door closed behind her and disappeared before everyones' eyes.
Twenty-five years later...
"Chirii! You little runt get back here with that!" Growled an irritated inu hanyou, who was chasing after the now adult inu youkai who out-grew her puppy-ish features. Her once gray fur changed into a solid black color with a hint of dark blue streaks running through her fur and her light blue colored eyes now matched the blue streaks in her fur. She was no longer small, but now stood to the highth to about that middle of Inuyasha's thigh.
Inuyasha hadn't changed one bit, he still looked the same. His personality was mostly the same but it had also changed slightly ever since that day when Kagome had to leave again. When she did, Chirii was there for him and helped him through it and told him that he would be reunited with Kagome once again but he just had to wait just like Kagome had told him. Those first five years were tough on the hanyou and he even tried to do that so he could be with Kagome again. He did that at least three or four times until it got to the point where Chirii was forced to use Inuyasha's beads whether it felt weird to her or not.
But now Inuyasha is practically back to him oldself again. He had even considered Chirii as if she were his own blood. It was and still is a good life for the two as well for their other friends.
"Never!" Chirii sang, clinging Tetsusaiga in her mouth and running around the hut that belonged to Miroku and Sango.
It took Inuyasha over two hours to finally retrieve his sword from the solid black and dark blue streaked furball. Now he was getting revenge by torturing her just like he had once done to Kagome's fat cat Buyo way back when. Even though Inuyasha never admitted it, he was truely grateful for Chirii's presence around him. She gave him plenty to laugh about and even when Koga got his ass whooped by her. Having Inuyasha make fun of Koga over the fact that he got his ass kicked by a pup.
(a/n: did this chappie sound a little too sad? if so, then I'm sorry. I tried to make it funny in the end. And the sequeal is called "Hello Again" and remember it's going to be a Bleach crossover. Thank you for reading.)
