Inuyasha's eyes bulged out of his head.

"K-Ka-Kagome?" he reached out and touched the furry ears that appeared on top of Kagome's head. "You-you're a hanyou. Like me..." The voiced boomed above thema gain.

"You are now soul and mate

Please let time decide your fate.."

Inuyasha and Kagome felt a surge of happiness as they embraced each other.

::back in Kaede's hut::

"AHHH!!!!!" Kikyo screamed in anguish as her hands flew to her heart. It was beating so hard it felt like it was going to burst. It hurt a lot too. In her head, she could hear Inuyasha's voice althought he was 500 miles away say over and over like a broken record player,

"Aishiteru, Kagome. Aishiteru, Kagome." Each time it got louder and more passionate and each time he said it Kikyo's heart bled.

"I can't stand the PAIN!!!" Kikyo screamed at herself. "EEEEEAHH!!!!!!!" she gave one last and final scream of pain and she vanished into thin air. All that was left in Kaede's hut was a bow and a quiver full of magic arrows.

~~~~~

A teary-eyed Myoga watched them embrace freely. Inuyasha started to say,

"I'm sorry that you saw me and Kikyo--" thunder boomed and a bolt of lightning separated their warm embrace. Kagome let out a yelp of pain when Inuyasha was being torn from her. It felt as if her heart was being ripped out of her chest.

"Inuyasha..what's happening?" she asked weakly.

To be continued.

A/N: AH! Sorry its so short!! ( I stayed up until like 3:00 yesterday trying to finish the last part of the story. and it was a little too long to be one chapter so I just split it in half and chapter 9 ended up being really short! Oh well. Look forward to chapter 10! (Which will go up later today). Whaddya think of it so far? It's almost done!!
