A/N: Sorry this has taken a while. This is the last actual chapter. I will write in my next chapter my reasons for writing this. My computer has been in the shop for a while and I haven't had the opportunity to write until now. As far as the ending, I leave it up to you to decide what happens to them.

Chapter 36: Acceptance

Now that I know all I need, my decision has been made for me. As I sit here at Kagome's bed with her still unconscious, my thoughts are simple, as soon as she wakes up, we will prepare for a wedding. We have spent so much of our lives evading each other. Finally after four days of watching her lay there completely motionless, she stirs and I see her beautiful blue eyes open.

"I have your answer Kagome. For whether or not I will give you another chance. The answer came to me while waiting for you to awaken. Now is our chance to be happy together. There is no more concern about suitors as far as either of us is concerned."

"You mean it Inuyasha. This isn't just some thing you decided because of me getting stabbed is it?"

"No, we will be together from now until the end of time. I have always loved you, Kagome."
