Holy cow. You guys are amazing. 13k views is ridiculous. I am so happy you guys love this story as much as I do. I just recently went back and re-read all the chapters and it made me fall back in love with my story. No wonder you guys kept telling me to update ha-ha. So I had an idea that after the last chapter I would make a bonus lemon chapter of SessKag. Lemme know if that's something you guys would like to read! The next chapter will have a big fight with Naraku that I need to do some research on, so enjoy this cute little chapter.


Kagome's Point of View

As our journey to the realm of fire continued I couldn't help myself from thinking about all the worse case scenarios. Was this just another one of Narakus traps? Was he leading us to our deaths? How long until our overall goal of destroying Naraku was complete? Would I ever get back to my life back home? Did I even want to? My life has been nothing but normal, but I know that I wouldn't change what has happened. I have met some amazing lifelong friends and maybe possibly my soulmate as well. When this is all over will I be able to come and go as I please? Will I stay here and never go home or go home and never return here? The thought of never seeing either world again was too much to bare.

I didn't realize I was crying until I felt a hand on my cheek wiping them away. I looked up and saw Sesshomaru looking at me with such concern in his eyes.

"Kagome what's wrong?" he asked as he continued to wipe away my tears.

"I'm just overthinking about small things. I'm okay." I said with a small smile.

"I'm here if you need to talk okay love? I promise I will protect you with my life and nothing will keep us apart again." he whispered in my ear before he gave me a quick kiss on my cheek.

"We're here!" Inuyasha yelled back to us as we left the comfort of the woods and entered the realm of fire. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. The area was nothing but volcanoes, which didn't ease my mind at all. If anything it made me even more worried.

"It's about time you guys showed up." someone said from the clearing.

"Kagura! What are you doing here?!" Inuyasha yelled as he reached for Tessaiga.

"I am not here for a fight, so you can put that away. Naraku ordered me to take you to the gate." she said nonchalantly as she turned and started to walk away, but stopped once she realized we weren't following her. "Are you guys coming or not?"

"Should we trust her?" Shippo asked me.

"I don't think we have a choice. If we want to find out what Naraku has planned I say we follow her." I answered as I started to walk towards her to follow her. Sesshomaru never left my side and together we all followed Kagura through the realm of fire. Sesshomaru and I stayed in the back to make sure we weren't being followed. Something about this didn't feel right and we all knew we could be walking into a trap. It would all be worth it if we could keep Naraku from getting the last jewel shard.

We came upon an empty cave and before I could follow everyone inside Sesshomaru stopped me with a small tug on our intertwined hands. I looked up at him with a puzzled look, but before I could say anything he bent down and brushed his lips onto mine.

"I think we should hang back just in case Naraku plans on attacking us from behind. I think they can handle whatever Kagura is planning." he said with a small smile as he gave me another small kiss, which I happily returned.

I wrapped my arms around his stomach and hugged him to me. Something in me needed to feel his arms around me and he gave me exactly what I wanted when he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me back. His warmth was something I could never get tired of and if there's one place I could spend the rest of my life it would be in Sesshomaru's arms. In this crazy unsure world I had fallen into Sesshomaru was the one thing I was sure of. No matter how our journey ended I was just thankful for the time I had with him, and I would be damned if I wasted any of it.
