I'm sorry I killed Kouga, he's really one of my favorite characters, but in my prediction for the real ending to the Inu Yasha series, I think Kouga is going to die in a fight with Naraku, and he'd going to ask Inu Yasha to avenge him and take care of Kagome. I 'm sorry.



Chapter 13: Not Alone Anymore



The enemies sat in a steep ditch bellow the clearing. Yura sat up and looked around. Manten sat up and said, "Where the hell are we? And what happened?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Urasue said. "Naraku's dead and for some unknown reason, we're still alive."

"What should we do, brother?" Hiten asked Manten.

The thunder brother stood up and said, "I say we go back up there and kill them all!" The enemies cheered in unison and were about to start up the hill when they heard a cursing behind them.

"Clone of a B*TCH!" a women's voice shouted. Inu Onna hopped out of the forest trying to shake the spinderweb off of her left foot. She kicked it into the air, drew her extended sword and sliced it in half before it hit the ground. "I'm going to kill that Namida when I see her!" she said hyperventilating in madness. "I'm gonna-I'm gonna-"

Then she took a deep breath and made a sweep motion with her hands. She closed her eyes, put her dagger back in her sash and stood in prayers position. "PLEASE dear Kami-san, send me Namida so I can vent this mind numbing anger on her!" Then she opened her eyes and all of the enemies smelling like Naraku and Namida stood a few feet away. She stared then drew her dagger and said, "Good enough,"



Meanwhile, they were having a funeral for Kouga. Everyone stood around the grave and Botan led a ceremony. "May his spirit find peace and we pray that he doesn't come back as an evil spirit." Namida came over and layed a boquet of lilacs on the patted soil. Honey made a loud sobbing sound. Kagome passed her the tissue box. Honey wiped her eyes then walked over to Inu Yasha.

She sniffed back the remaining tears and dried her eyes on her sleeve. She looked at him with a red face. Then as he wasn't expecting it, she extended a clawed hand to him. He shook it then asked, "What was that for?"

"I'm doing what my father told me to do," she said. "So if you're going to be my step-father, we might as well be on equal terms."

"Speaking of terms," Kagome said, then talked about something totally off subject. "We still haven't found Inu Onna!"

"She could be anywhere now!" Namida said.

At that moment, from bellow the clearing they heard a blood curtling scream. Shippou jumped on Inu Yasha's shoulder and he patted his side again where his sword was still missing. Then they heard the evil laughter of Inu Onna as one by one the enemies flew over the rise of the hill and ran through the clearing trying to get away. Inu Onna scaled the hill rise in one leep, "BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" she laughed, "Run run run! Run you ugly freaks! You're too slow! Lose some weight, fatty!" She didn't stop, but she turned her head as she an past and said quickly, "Hi guys! With ya' in a sec!" then she continued to chase them waving twin swords around in the air. "You can run but you can't hide!"She disappeared into the forest but they could still hear her insane laughter. Everyone sweatdropped. Honey sighed and started to walk away, "Tell Dog Girl I said bye."

"Bye?" Kagome said. "You're not staying with us then?"

"I'll be back to visit, I can smell that pathetic puppy's stench from miles away. But Dad put me in charge of the wolf pack so I gotta find them first." She said. Thenn she ran over and threw her arms around Musuko's shoulders. He didn't look amused. "Can't say that I 'm going to trust that pathetic puppy," she said. "So remember Musuko Baby, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me!" she winked at him then disappeared in a whirlwind.

Musuko turned to Miroku and Sango with a guilty look on his face. "Mother? Father?" he said. "Inu Onna and I have been keeping a secret from you."

Miroku's eye's widened.

Musuko sighed, "Not that kind of secret, Father. When we went out exploring Japan, we found out about the enemies roaming around and went looking for them on our own, we even killed the centipede lady before we met up with you."

"Why didn't you come ask us for help?" Sango asked.

Musuko smiled sheepishly and said, "Well, Inu Onna made me promise not to tell you. She wanted us to do it by ourselves without help."

"Well she seems to be doing pretty good on her own." Sango said. They could hear the sounds of sword clashes, cries of pain and Inu Onna's maniacal laughter.

Kagome plucked the two halves of the jewel out of the grass. They had been split right down the middle, and they were so cleanly and perfectly cut. But then again, Namida's mother was a master of the bow.

She handed the halves to Inu Yasha. He stared at them as they sat in his hand then clenched them thightly in his fist until his knuckles turned bright white. Then with a wave of that hand, he released the shikon dust into the wind. Everyone cheered and he felt as though a humongous weight had been lifted off of his back. He decide to inhale deeply the peace and another weight was placed on him as he was reminded of Kagome's scent. He shivered and started to walk away from her. After what had just happened, she probably forgot about the "family togetherness for spring break." Just as he was ten feet away, Kagome set a hand on his shoulder and he turned around to face her.

She smiled at him and said, "Miroku told me."

Inu Yasha looked over at Miroku. The preist smiled and waved. He growled and thought, ;I knew I couldn't trust that Monk! 'You have my word, Inu Yasha! Tell me your deep secrets so I can tell them to your girlfriend later, Inu Yasha!' "I'm gonna kill you, priest!" he said storming over.

"Now, now! There's no reason to get mad!" Miroku took a couple of steps back."

"If you were a real man, you would fight me!" Inu Yasha said.

Then Miroku stopped and said as-a-matter-of-factly, "Excuse me, Inu Yasha, but of all of the fathers with child clones here. I was the one who managed a son!" Inu Yasha gaped at him speechless then turned back to Kagome who was still blushing.

"Well now you know." He said and started to walk away feeling sick. Ignoring instincts was hard. Then all of a sudden he heard her clear her throat and say, "Inu Yasha? Look what I got!"

He turned around to see her still blushing. She held up a small, thin, square package with something laytexy inside. His eyes widened. She blushed deeper.

He ran up to her and tried to get out fifty sentences at once, "Then you-?-That means-!-You don't-?"

She nodded and he smiled. He picked her up and saluted everyone, "SEEYA!" then he flew away. Everyone waved. "Good luck, Inu Yasha!" Shippou shouted.

"You can do it!" Miroku shouted. Everyone laughed on the ground. Botan and Namida started to walk off together. He was going to go look for a new home to live in and HE wanted Namida to come with him, which pleased her to no end. After all of the time of not knowing who she was, all of the lonely suffering and self destruction, she had friends and people who cared about her, someone she loved, she wasn't alone anymore.



THE END??

As Inu Yasha flew, he looked up at the shikon dust circling in the wind and sparkling in the sun's light. 'I wonder what it would be like,' he thought, 'What it would be like to have a SON?'
