Please note:

I do not in any way own Inuyasha or any of the wonderful characters created in that delightful Anime. They are all the sole property of Rumiko Takahashi. I am merely expressing my imagination on her wonderful tale. There are a few characters I have created that do not belong in InuYasha- they are mine, as is the imagination and story line I have superimposed.

Please do not make this a legal issue.

Chapter 24: The Gratification of Prayers

Naraku had spent the whole night in a deep prayer- praying that what he prayed for would come to pass. At dawn from his cell below the monastery- right below the statue of the god of this shrine- he finally aroused from his state of prayer- and his ears heard the sweet sounds of Kagome in the throes of passion as she cried out Sesshoumaru's name again and again between her pants of passion. He heard the Inuyukai lord growl in satisfaction as his spilt his seed, and heard him whisper "Kagome" before he lightly lay himself on top of her spent from the mating.

Naraku smiled. His prayers had been answered. He closed his eyes and started to send a prayer of thanks to the deity who had granted him something no one else thus far had been able to do- Cause InuYasha mortal pain that would haunt his soul till the day he died.

The speed with which these two chapters were posted are due to those great people who reviewed. You are all awesome. Constructive comments and even just letting me know you love the story was uplifting- seriously. Thanks for the advice on how to do this writing- (pant pant), and on letting me know how I had done so far. It served as a measure of how to write this. I didn't want this to be just sexual- but detailed enough that the emotional and sensual aspects came out to convey how I imagined it- hope I succeeded.

This chapter is a short chappie I know- but this was seperate from the last chapter and not really part of the next- so I posted it alone. It gives completion to the events that took place.

Well- I hope I somehow did justice to the time I took to write these last two chapters. Again- I know I left you all dangling- but I hope I made up for that. If I didn't- well hopefully I improve with time and practice- right? Anyways- the next update will be in 2 weeks- a lot of things to do- and I've been obsessing with this story too much recently.
