I'm so sorry the story is getting way out of hand. I'm like stuck, so when ever I write and try to describe things it just sounds all the same to me. Anyways this story as one last chapter to go. In here is finally who Kagome is going to choose after so long of hurting my head. I'm sorry that the story is starting to suck. Probably beause I'm doing three other stories at the same time and trying to update fast. Well this is going to be coming to an end because I just want to hurry and finish it. Thank you for reading and please don't review, I already know it sucks. See ya.

Kagome made it to her destination, she jumped out of the car forgetting her keys, and ran up the shrine stairs. There just as she made it to the door, she pounded on it with little impatient. Genkai answered the door opening and staring with shocked eye's.

" Kagome-chan, what's the matter." She asked worried.

Kagome walked into the house well looking around. " Where is he," she said desperately.

Yukina just walked in with some tea, " Oh Kagome-chan what brings you here," said the sweet girl.

" Where's Hiei," Kagome asked again really not wanting to ask again.

" I think he went into the back, he also said that he would be going back to the Makai realm soon." Yukina sounded disappointed. Kagome nodded her head well saying thanks and running through the back.

He can't leave, not know. She thought as she continued to run through the back and into the forest.

Memories flashed through her mind, the warm hugs he used to give her.

" What are you doing," Kagome asked.

" Giving you a hug," said an emotionless Hiei. Kagome just nodded her head and hugged him back, happy from the support she was getting from a friend.

How he use would say the most unexpected things..

" Don't cry, he is not worthy of your tears," he said with seriousness running through his ruby eyes. As he held her, knowing she needed it.

How he understood when she needed someone.

She just sat there on her bed crying, huddled in a fetus position as just let everything go. Then he appeared there from no where, and brought his arms around her waist and pulled her to him.

" I don't understand why your crying, but I knew you needed someone."

She just smiled as she hiccupped, and buried her face into his shoulder.

How he kissed her that day.

" I'm sorry you fell that way," he lowered his head ever so close, " I'm just sorry I couldn't change you mind." he said while whipping her tears away with one hand and bringing her closer to him. Then his lips captured hers, in wasn't long until it registered to her what was happening. But it was to late when he removed his lips and his arms from around her and started to walk away."

Through everything that happened to her he was there, his arms welcomed safety, shelter, it harbored love.

Her eyes stared to water, yes she was in love with him. After this whole time it was him she should have loved, and now she wasn't going to lose him again. She continued to run as she let the burier controlling the miko powers, pouring out so they would flow out so she could find his energy, and there it was, just beyond some trees.

Hiei was warming up before he went back to the Makai. He figured there was no other reason to stay in the Ningei Realm. Why when all he could think about was her. He slashed his sword as he closed his eyes and started to train. But then it attention came to a certain energy that was powerful. He knew who it was, he turned around as he faced the girl he wanted to forget. There standing breathing out of breath, was Kagome. Her clothes were wrinkled from her run, her cheeks were flushed red, and she was sweating, that drove his demon to take her.

She walked forward as he walked back, he didn't know why but he wanted to leave, he didn't want to be near her. He started to walk away.

" Wait," she said desperately, and he stopped. " Don't go," she was gazing at his back because he didn't turn to see her.

" Why," he asked cooly.

" Because," she stuttered, how was she going to tell him it he wasn't facing her.

" Don't toy with me human, you don't know what your dealing with." He said with his head slightly turned but not looking at her.

Kagome was scared, she knew he was mad at her, but she wasn't going to let him leave, not when she desperately needed him. She walked to him, as he just stood still, then wrapped her arms around his waist and burying her face into his back. She held him tight not letting go.

" Don't go please, don't leave me." She cried, " I'm sorry, I'm sorry it took me this long to realize, and for being late, but please don't leave me." Hiei didn't understand, " If you leave me like you did before it well be worse then the first time you left." She held onto him, hiding her head further into his clothes wanting his warmth. She had to do it, he needed to know, " I love you, Hiei."

With that said Hiei was shocked, the girl behind him started to tremble. He turned around and wrapped his arms around her, as he just smiled. Kagome went further into his arms, knowing that he wasn't going to leave.

Hiei lift her head with his hand so he cuold stare into the blue eye's he loved. He wiped the tears that continued to fall from her eyes. " Alright," was all he said ,with surprise Kagome leaned forward and planted a kiss that soon he responded to, as he just held her closer. Enjoying the moment they were sharing. The kiss was heaven for the two, it was years of wanting, and needing. Once they parted Kagome looked into the eye's of her lover, they held passion, understanding, love, was all she needed.

Kurama walked up the shrine steps, he was happy that Ruri was home safely, but he wondered if it was a good idea to return. As he made it to the top he found her at the front steps of the house, staring at the rose he gave her from the other day. She fumbled with it in her hands, until she seen him. She just turned away, as he walked to her. He sat right beside her as he looked away not knowing what to say.

Ruri was doing the same, she didn't know what to say to the person she hardly knew. But her mother told her to be good, and that is what she was going to do. She had to admit that she was mad for no reason. One being that he didn't even know about her, two being he probably was scared like she was now, and three could he love her even if they weren't a family. She turned around as she stared at his long red hair, she liked it so she touched it. As she ran her finger's through she could tell it was silky. She pulled away well blushing.

Kurama just smiled, " Okasan said that you're my papa," He just nodded not wanting to ruin anything else by speaking. She jumped to her feet ran in front of him well just standing there. " Can I hug you outosan," he didn't know what to say, so he nodded, then he felt her wrapping her arms around his neck well hugging him. He returned the embrace well wanting to cry, " You smell like flower's," she said well snuggling closer to him, enjoying the moment.

As he pulled away he looked into the miniture emerald eye's, " Do you want to go inside and wait for your mother." He asked well still holding her small hand but standing up. She nodded her head and calling for Kero to come, as they made their way inside the house.

Kagome and Hiei sat at the bench as they watched the stars twinkled in the moonlight night. Kagome had her head in the crack of Hiei's shoulder, well he had his head on top of her. His arms were wrapped around her waist, just sitting there.

Kagome then was peaceful and fell asleep. Hiei turned to look at her sleeping form and then stared off into the night.

Ruri was fast asleep in Kurama's arms as he sat in her room, after reading a book. She looked so cute just sleeping in his lap, he got up and stretched, checking the time. He turned to look at her again and smiled, he placed a kiss on her cheek well walking away. He walked down the stairs and waved to Ms. Higarushi, and walked out, as he traveled down the stairs he seen someone he least expected. There walking up the shrine steps with Kagome in in arms, fast asleep.

Hiei found it a surprising see Kurama coming from Kagome's house. They meet half way standing in front of one another. They stayed like that for a moment staring into each other's eyes.

Kurama could see that Kagome already made up her mind, it seemed she wanted the person who was there for her from the start. He smiled as he made his way to him, sat his hand on his shoulder. " Please take care of her, and Ruri." Was all he said as he walked the rest of the steps down to the side walked and then was out of sight.

Hiei watched him leave surprised at his antic, he felt relieved, then he started walking back to the shrine, he jumped through Kagome's window and settled her down on the bed, as he pulled away a hand stopped him. He looked to see Kagome wide awake, " Don't leave," he nodded as he went under the cover's and then pulled her close to him. She lied her head on his chest well letting the sleep taking over both of them.

Ruri awoke from a nightmare, she shot right up looking for the person who was with her yesterday. She jumped out of bed and ran into her mother's room. There her eye's almost shot out, lying there in her mother's bed was the black haired man, with her mother. She smiled well sneaking over to the two, happy at seeing the two together. She wiggled herself in between the two and felt the love and warmth from both, she then fell right back into a splendid dream.

Kagome awoke at the same time Hiei did, they stared into one's eyes and were lost with loved. She felt movement between her arms and looked to find Ruri sleeping in her arms. Her back was pressed against her stomach, and her head was laying on Hie's shoulder. She looked back at Hiei and smiled. He said the words she's been waiting to hear. " I love you," then kissed her.

Ruri opened her eye's well watching the two kiss, she giggled as they pulled apart and stared at her. " Does this mean I can call you papa," she asked. Kagome laughed well Hiei nodded his head. Ruri hugged Hiei, well turning and doing that same with her mother.

Then Kero came running through the door, barked, jumped on the bed well deciding he wanted to join the three. Kagome and Ruri laughed as Hiei tried to get the mutt of the bed.

Morning went by as Kagome watched Ruri and her dog running around on the shrine grounds. She felt someone hugging her from behind and noticed it was Hiei. They turned their attention back to the child and her pet.

" Thank you Hiei," Kagome had to say. " You've been there for me for so long, helped me, and even loved me." She turned around as she place her hands on his face. " Even Ruri, I'm amazed at how you can deal with a child like her, your everything I want and more. Please stay with me forever," she said as tears leaked out of her blue eyes. Hiei kissed the girl giving his answer as he poured his energy into the kiss.

He pulled away, " I promise," well turning back to the Ruri as she smiled at the two and ran to them, well jumping into her mother's arms.
