Summary Inuyasha and Kagome settle down for the night after a long first day together

It had been a long day. Graduating wishing to see Inuyasha, having the sky open on the other side of the well. Hugging Inuyasha. Being introduced to Miroku and Sango and their three children.

Shippou never stopped talking Getting glared at by Sesshoumaru. The look on the villagers faces as she was introduced to the council. Spending time with Kaede to change clothes and assume her new duties as assistant to the Miko.

She and Inuyasha really had not spend any time alone. He was the reason she came back to the Sengoku Jidai It was unfair that her time was being monopolized by everyone else At least they were together now.

Together at the place where Inuyasha had waited for her for three years A place overlooking the village, and the well As darkness fell, Kagome became shocked by the river of stars that shone brightly over their heads.

She shivered and Inuyasha draped the fire rat's cloak over her. Maybe she was shivering because of the enormity of what she had done. Returned to a place where war was normal

Where youkai hunted men. Where there were no phones, no TV, no traffic Only the sounds of the villagers settling down for the night, the insects and animals hunting in the night

Yet she had no fear She was not alone. She was with the man she loved and nothing else had the will to make the leap of faith to reach the life that she wanted for herself As

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and kissed ,she thanked the kami for giving her the choice to see him again. A choice she would never regret
