A/N:I do not own the character's from InuYasha. My first fan fiction, i hope you enjoy.

Prologue – Happily Ever After

The feudal era – where demons and priestesses reside battling for dominance, the classic good versus evil, a battle that will go on as long as time itself. The vast green grass, the tree's and forests, running clear streams, the steaming hot springs and crisp clean air it was a far cry from the world she had left behind her as she climbed out the well. The bright sun light hit her face, blinding her momentarily, as she sat on the edge of the well.

I'm Kagome Higarashi, an eighteen year old high school graduate living in 20th century Japan. Technically. I also live in the feudal era, 500 years in the past. I can travel between both worlds using the Bone Eaters well which allows me to pass between the differing times, largely due to my own spiritual powers which I've still yet to master completely. Three years it has been since the defeat of Naraku and my return to this era. Sango and Miroku were quickly married after I had disappeared and had started a family. In three years they had had three kids, twin girls and an infant son. Sango's brother was rebuilding the Demon Slayers village and training to become an even better, wanting to make good use of the second chance at life the priestess Kikiyou had given him. Kaede had taken in Rin, who had been saved from death by Sesshomaru, so she could grow up in the village before deciding whether she wanted to continue travelling with the Demon Lord. Shippo leaves the village often to continue taking the fox exams to became a full-fledged high ranked fox demon.

Then there was InuYasha. The half demon who held my heart completely in his claws. The reason I came back to the feudal era. My feelings for him allowed the well to connect to the past again after the well had closed when the jewel was banished from the world and I was left in my time. Three years we were apart. And I was overjoyed when I finally made it back and I saw him again. His long silver hair with wild bangs that covered his eyes when he looked down, his cute fluffy ears that were soft as chinchilla fur, his golden eyes like golden orbs that melted the soul, his smile showing his fangs which were pearl white, he truly is perfection. Wearing his red robe of the fire rat he had greeted me with a hug, and from that day we had promised to never part. Together we are bound to tomorrow.

Kagome sighed as she sat on the wells edge. She was early but was content to stay at the well rather than go into the village. InuYasha had allowed her to go back home alone, for the first time since she was returned to him, so she could spend some time with her family who she had missed dearly. Normally he came with her, but then she always spent her time with him. This time she actually wanted to spend time with her mother Sonya, younger brother Souta and her grandfather Itachi. It was the anniversary of her father's death, and a time her family always spent together. She had enjoyed her time but had missed InuYasha terribly as he was so much a part of her now, like the air she breathed and needed to stay alive. Being away felt like half of her was missing. But as much as her family loved her dog-eared boyfriend, they missed spending time with Kagome as they used too so she was happy to oblige them with a visit alone.

Since the defeat of Naraku, Kagome and InuYasha had been married in a quick spur of the moment wedding, with the joy of having her back he had wanted to waste little time in claiming her as his, so Miroku had happily agreed to bless by marrying them in a small ceremony. Kind of like a registry office wedding, if one wanted to make comparison. Kagome hadn't even worn a Kimono, just the clothes she had arrived in. After the wedding she has thought they were to begin their 'honeymoon' but despite being married, they hadn't done more than kiss. She had asked him once why, and he had said he didn't want to hurt her. He was a half demon, and he was afraid that in the throes of passion he would hurt her. What she didn't know is that he had his own secret reason for not wanting to consummate their marriage. He knew what it was like to grow up a half demon, how horrible would he and Kagome's children be treated for being even more dilute in demon blood? Despite whose diluted demon blood it was? He would never tell her though, it would break her heart.

InuYasha walked over to the well and saw Kagome sitting waiting for him, she smelled of strawberries and sun, and was contently watching a pair of larks fly in the sky above. She truly was an amazing sight. Her midnight hair down to her waist, blowing in the wind, her beautiful brown eyes that sparkled in the sun, her slim but soft body, legs that stretched for miles –so it seemed, and her porcelain white skin that was soft and warm. God only knew how much he wanted her, but just having her as he did was enough. Uncomplicated. Plus if she wanted to play mum, she could always help Sango out with her and Miroku's children.

"Hey, your early" said InuYasha as he helped her off her seat, drawing her into a warm embrace.
"Yeah I know, I missed you" she replied into his chest.
"How are you?" InuYasha knew the occasion she had gone home for, but he couldn't sense any sadness in her.
"I'm okay, my father died when I was young and it has been so long that it doesn't hurt so much anymore. I love my father with all my heart, but it isn't healthy to grieve forever" she said smiling up at him.
"Besides, I have you" she added before lightly kissing him on the lips.
InuYasha knew what she meant. He had never met his father, who had bequeathed him his amazing sword, the Tessaiga.
"Let's go home" He said, smiling back slightly blushing.
