Disclaimer: Meh. Its been fun.
Subaru: Oh man.
Inuyasha: SENPAI IS MINE~ *steals Rikuo's ax*
Kagome: NO KILLING!
Rikuo: MY AX! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE YANDERE HERE!
Subaru: *runs away*
Kagome stood frozen on the spot. She couldn't believe it. Inuyasha had been lying to her the whole time.
Inuyasha... was Mamoru.
She felt more of her tears threatening to spill. Slowly, she walked up to him. "Mamoru..."
Inuyasha-who was being controlled by Mamoru-took a step back. "No! Don't come near me!"
"Mamoru, its okay. Its me." she reached out, but he took another step back.
"I don't deserve your forgiveness after what happened." Mamoru shook his head violently.
Just then Akihiro had risen up, and tried to pick up the fallen knife, only to get stopped by Subaru and Rikuo, pinning him down on the floor.
"Stop it Dad! This is insane!"
"No!" Akihiro howled. "He stole your mother! Anyone who's friends with that thing deserves to die!"
Mamoru just knelt down on the floor, an eerie light covering him. "You should hate me. I broke my promise to you."
Kagome felt torn. "No, no, no. Mamoru, I don't hate you."
"You're only saying that!"
"Its true." She went up to him and hugged him close to her. "I really missed you, Mamoru. So much. Its wasn't your fault you were killed."
Mamoru sniffled. "I'm sorry Kagome."
"Its okay now. But, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I can't answer that. Only Inuyasha can..." The light started to shine brighter, and when it died down, a child stood beside Inuyasha's limp form.
"Mamoru..."
Mamoru smiled softly at Kagome. "I'm finally free, Kagome. It was great seeing you, one last time." And with that, he disappeared, fading.
Inuyasha stirred underneath her grasp. "Kagome?"
"Ash! Baka! Don't do that again!" she held him tighter in his arms. He looked surprised, but let her.
"I... I'm sorry."
"Don't mention it, Ash. But, you're finally back." Kagome smiled, her heart beating fast. 'I've never felt this way before... I was right, Subaru... never was the one...'
Kaede smiled calmly, and turned to Miroku. "Miroku, make sure you call the authorities about this."
"On it."
Outside the house, Kagome and Subaru felt an awkward silence between them.
"Look, Kagome," Subaru started. "I'm sorry about my dad. I've never known about this, honest."
"I forgive you, Subaru. Your dad shouldn't keep secrets from you."
"Well, now that he's going to jail, I guess I'm moving out."
"What do you mean?"
"My aunt just heard the news. She wants me to move back to her place."
"Oh." Somehow, Kagome didn't feel disappointed.
"But its okay, at least I can be your date to the prom one last time, yeah?" he smiled.
"Of course."
*time skip*
Prom night came. A lot of students unsually went, compared to last year, they say.
Subaru and Kagome stalked away from the crowd, and into the comforting silence of the rooftop.
"Hey, Kagome."
"Hm?"
"I got something for you." He reached out for his pocket, and pulled out a book. It looked excactly like the journal she had sacrificed in the fountain long ago.
The fountain.
"My sister wanted to give this to you. She said it might help you."
Meanwhile from the shadows, Miroku, Sango and Shippo watched them closely.
"Thanks, Subaru." She reached out to take it, but another hand stopped her.
Inuyasha suddenly appeared, his hand on the book. She nervously waited, because it looked like Subaru could see him.
Without warning Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by the hand and ran off, while Subaru tried to chase them back.
He lead her to an empty hallway. Breathless, Kagome spoke to him. "Ash? What's wrong? Tell me so I can-"
Slowly, he turned around to face her. "I helped you with your wish, Kagome." he said with sad smile. "And as long as I'm here, I'm commiting a sin."
"Huh? What are you-"
He disappeared once more.
Subaru finally caught up with her. "Here, your book. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Listen, Subaru, I-"
He just smiled at her. "You look beautiful tonight."
"Huh?"
He brushed a strand of her hair from her face. "I would like to know more about you."
Feeling flattered, but confused, Kagome instantly accepted his offer. They were about to return to the party when...
She felt him behind her, but his presence fading away.
Her eyes almost leaked to tears as she heard those simple words.
"Wish granted."
And he disappeared forever.
She ran towards the front of Austine, where the fountain stood. It shone back to its former glory once again. She sadly looked down at the waters.
'This is where I first saw him...'
She touched the solid edge of the fountain, and cried. Terribly hard.
'What if my wish were to change, Inuyasha?'
WISH * END
Author's Note: And that's it for Wish Granted! Took me long enough! Don't worry, this isn't the end! What do you think the epilogue is made for?
