On the way home Sango and the others tried to act normal. When they reached the shrine, Everyone left Kagome and Akira alone in the living room. As Kagome sat in the dark, Inuyasha walked into the room. He tried not to cry as he spoke, “Kagome…”
Kagome stood and she turned around, her eyes landed on Inuyasha and she immediately began to sob. As she went to fall Inuyasha ran forward to catch her and Akira. Kagome looked into his eyes as if she were seeing a ghost…
“Your….your alive…..Your real…I’m not dreaming?”
Inuyasha broke into tears, “No..Kagome your not dreaming..Im here and I’m never leaving you again.”
Akira looked up at the man and she screamed at the top of her lungs, “DADA!” Kagome looked down at Akira and her eyes went wide. Inuyasha fell over and he gasped. Kagome set Akira down. The child crawled to Inuyasha and she held her arms out. Inuyasha looked down at the child and he picked her up gently.
Kagome Smiled through her tears as she watched. Akira reached up and she giggled as she tugged on Inuyasha’s ears. Inuyasha smiled and he set Akira down.
“Kagome why didn’t you tell me that you were Carrying my pup?”
Kagome put her head down and she sighed, “Because I didn’t know about Akira until the next day…. and you still hadn’t come back…I even tried to jump into the well and I couldn’t. a million thoughts went through my head…you went back to Kikyo…you had been hurt…But yet a part of me knew you would come back one day. Then when I had Akira, It seemed I finally had a reason to keep the hope that you would return alive.”
Inuyasha crawled to Kagome and he pulled her close. He leaned down and he kissed her deeply and passionately. Kagome held onto Inuyasha as if her life depended on it, Akira let out a cry and Inuyasha picked her up. Kagome held them both all through the night…
(9 months later)
People from all over the city gathered in the club. Akira was turning 1 and the Kagome had invited everyone she knew. Everyone smiled as they sang happy birthday to the toddler and they laughed when she tried to blow her candles out. As they sat around talking the lights dimmed. They all stood and looked around, Inuyasha cleared his through and they turned towards the stage, “Kagome could you come here please?”
Kagome smiled as she walked onto the stage. Inuyasha handed her a red rose and he began to sing,
Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
Oh I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Kagome smiled as the song ended. The crowd began to chant her name so she took a microphone….the music started and she stood close to Inuyasha, her eyes met his and they never left as she sang,
I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess its right, it's so amazing
Everytime I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When we touch, when we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holdin you until the day I die
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
Inuyasha held her close and Kagome sang only to where he could hear,
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
Oh yes I do
I wanna be inside your heaven
He smiled as he rested his fore head against her, “I love you Kagome…I always have and I always will”
Kagome smiled as she leaned in and kissed Inuyasha Gently. Their kiss sent the club into applause and cheers. But they only saw each other, They only heard their hearts beating as one. His blood was her blood. They were each others reasons for living…Akira only made it better…..Akira gave them a change to be a normal family….well as normal as they could be.
