***A/n : Oh my gosh...I can't believe it! This is the last chapter of Seven Sits From Hell. I thought it'd be longer, but wow...I guess now is the time to wrap things up as you won't hear from me until the sequel (unless Mitz talks about me lol). Hmmm...Where to start? SSFH didn't even get seconded for its nomination, but that is perfectly fine with me. A nomination was much more than I was ever expecting out of this fic (as was the 100+ reviews...Really, thanks!), and I'm telling you now...The sequel will be much better. I'll put more time into it so it sounds better and I'll try to produce Mitz-sized chapters at the least lol. It'll have some action (of course), but it'll have much more fluff. Err, what next? Oh, I still haven't figured out who sent those flowers a while back. Umm, Mitzuki's cast was removed, and life's back to normal for her. Kinda. If you consider being bombarded with projects normal. Lol. She's telling me to apologize to you guys who read her story as well (midterms, and from what I've seen on my kitchen table: seven or so projects all with the same due date written on them...), but she's going to update soon, I think, even she can't do schoolwork that long...Me, well work's doing fine. The new boss just kind of wanted to "break me in" and see if I could handle it. When I turned in all of the shit he asked me to do that first week or two, he stared at the pounds of paper I dropped on his desk, at me, then at the papers again, and at me again. He chuckled and said, 'Wow, [old boss's name here] sure was right...Anyways, welcome to this sector. Expect considerably lighter work from so on.' Ticked me off, but oh well, work is manageable! ^_^ Thanks to all of my reviewers! I never thought SSFH would even hit this level...Seeing as it was always written in a rush and on little sleep. Thanks to all of you who have stuck it out with me until the end! *Sniff* Anyways, on with the final!

***Disclaimer : If you don't know I don't own Inuyasha, where the hell have you been these last twenty-four chapters?

Last time...

Shippo and Kirara looked at each other then at the couples. What the hell was going on?

Sub-Story (7) : The Final Sit

Chapter 2 : The Beginning of the End

The tangy smell of ramen filled the air and a particular hanyou was inhaling deeply with droplets of drool exceeding the rim of his mouth. The one cooking this ramen wasn't so bad either, in fact, even though it had been admitted silently to himself or in circumstances in which he couldn't be heard, he had admitted it; he admitted he loved this girl. The other four in this group were out catching fish; ramen just wasn't enough lately.

"Hey, Inuyasha, why didn't you go with everyone? You're the best at catching fish," Kagome asked as she checked the water's heat.

Inuyasha was torn out of his reverie, and he answered, "Because...I taught the runt how to do it right."

His logic failed to convince her. "Umm, so that's why you're not going? That doesn't make much sense."

Getting defensive, his volume rose, "What other reason can you think of?!"

There I go...sticking my foot in my mouth again...

She began to get angry. "So there is NO other reason, none?"

"No, none."

In the surrounding bushes there were four figures watching this in silence; no one wanted to be caught by the couple that was already starting to boil with rage.

Giving him another chance to redeem himself, she confirmed, "Nothing at all? Really?" He nodded Yes. Kagome was beyond pissed now; time to sit someone. "SIT!"

Inuyasha plummeted to the ground and caused an Inuyasha-spread-eagle-shaped hole. "What the fuck was that for?"

"For be an insensitive idiot!" Kagome cried.

Clearing his throat, Inuyasha meekly replied, "You're the idiot..." She shot him a glare before he continued, "How fucking difficult is it for you to tell that I love you?"

"It's plenty difficult with you going to see Kikyou all the time! And you're so fucking blunt! And don't give me that look, of course I can swear! It's a bad habit I've unfortunately picked up from you!" Kagome yelled.

"Well, have you ever thought that's who I am?! A blunt idiot! If you love me, you should just fucking accept it! I do not love Kikyou! I loved her, but I'm not in love with her! And how to you think it makes me feel when you go trotting around with that pile of shit, Kouga, or that Homo guy from your time, or any other random fucker that comes along! What about all those times you get yourself kidnapped? What do you think I do? Sit around on my ass saying, 'Keh, we'll get her later.' ? No, that has never happened! And I haven't even seen Kikyou for months! Last time I did, we talked about finishing that bastard, Naraku! But no, you don't believe me! How the fuck is it possible for you to trust me with your life, but you wont trust me on things like this?!" Inuyasha held his stance as his nostrils flared, teeth gritted, and as he huffed raspy breaths. The sun set, and Inuyasha reverted to his human form. The night of the new moon was upon them now.

Kagome stood shocked. Who knew Inuyasha had even this much emotion while half-demon? Much less the articulation to put it all together into one decent rant...Her face immediately softened, her shoulders slumped from their original tense state, and she sighed, "I never knew..."

"It's not all your fault. I didn't know either..." Inuyasha trailed off as he apologized for the first time in a long time.

"How could you not know?" Kagome asked as her anger began to flare once more.

"How could I know, and how the hell did you not know?"

Something sudden then occurred; the two busted up in laughter. "I guess that makes us both idiots, doesn't it?" Kagome croaked out.

"Yeah...I guess it does."

Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara exchanged confused looks. How the hell could they break up in laughter after that? Much less, how'd the argument start by Inuyasha saying he loved her? Oh well, best stay hidden...

After a minute more of laughing, Inuyasha realized he never got the response he was looking for. "You never replied to what I said earlier."

Smiling at her idiot half-dog, she answered, "You're still going on about that? I thought the answer was clear."

He got closer to her as he chuckled, "Well...Spell it out clearly for your idiot."

"So...you're my idiot now...Well...Does this answer your question?" Kagome fully leaned in and kissed him on the lips. The kiss deepened, and his arms carefully wrapped around her small frame while she clung onto his haori.

Miroku had one hand over Shippo's eyes, one in an ear, while Sango had a hand over his mouth, and the other in the other ear. See nothing, hear nothing, speak of nothing!

Separating, the two felt weightless and light-headed, and Inuyasha smirked, "Care to repeat that again? I'm a bit slow."

Replicating the expression, her foot turned in circles in the dirt, and she blushed and looked downwards. "As much as I think I should, I think the others will come back soon." Examining the pot, she changed the subject, "The water's scalding now...and the ramen's probably all mushy..."

Picking it up as if it were nothing with his fire-rat robe over his hand, he carefully placed it onto the ground where the soil hissed with displeasure. "We'll let it cool off..."

Chosing it was an appropiate time to make their entrance, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo walked into the camp with the fish in hand. Shippo, as always, excitedly ran up to the couple, and exlaimed, "Inuyasha! Kagome! Look how many fish I caught!" He held up five fish.

Inuyasha walked over, crouched down, and examined the fish. "Good job, Shippo." Ruffling his hair, the two walked over to the laughing Kagome who was ready to begin cooking.

Since when did Inuyasha act almost like an adult?

Since when did Inuyasha act like a father to Shippo?

Since when did everyone get along?

We need to talk...

Miroku and Sango exchanged glances that let the other know what they were thinking. Sango spoke up for herself and Miroku, "Uhh, we're going to take a walk..."

Waving them off, Kagome answered, "Okay, we'll have dinner done by the time you get back!"

Once they were sure they were out of earshot and a light source established, Miroku began, "What the hell is going on with those two? First they fight, then Inuyasha spills his guts. Some of those emotions I didn't even know he had! The fact that he said that in the first place was out of character! Then they burst out into laughter, and kissed for no reason other than the fact that they could! I've never seen those sides of either of them before! Now they're acting like a family. What's going on?"

Sango sighed, "You know it and I know it. Those two love each other...the pieces are just falling into place now."

Miroku instantly understood, but realized something else was left unresolved. "If they're happy together...What about us?"

With curiosity in her voice, Sango asked, "What about us?"

"Well, Sango we are engaged, and we haven't even done as much as kiss." As if on instinct the two leaned in a quickly pecked. "Start somewhere small?"

Laughing, Sango smiled, "Yeah. Sounds good. I can't believe that's it, you hentai."

Miroku pouted, "But I'm your hentai, right?"

"Right."

"Good...I wouldn't want it any other way..."

"Good...You wouldn't be conscious if it were any other way..."

"Good...I'd probably deserve it, too..."

"Good...You'll understand when I do..."

"Okay...I think the food's ready..."

"Alright, lets go!"

Unknown to the happy group, someone was watching them from an undisclosed location...
