Inuyasha: Home Sweet
*Disclaimer:* I don't own Inuyasha.
A/N: Wow, I really can't believe I got so many great reviews. I lost inspiration for this story so I decided to end it. But I have a surprise ending. Flames are still welcome.
To devilducky: you are my first almost-flamer, and I have some things to say to you, not that I didn't appreciate the review. First, I like Kaede's archaic way of speaking (if you don't know what archaic means look it up), I think it's cool. Second, I know Inuyasha and Miroku aren't best friends or anything, but for the purposes of this fic I made them a little friendlier towards each other. Thirdly, while you've been watching the anime I'm reading the manga which is more accurate and they call Miroku 'lord' and also someone else told me about the blood-sharing thing and I, the authoress and master of this fic thought it was cool.
*********************************** A few months have passed. The Shikon no Tama is almost complete. Only a few shards remain to be collected.
Kagome flopped over in her bed one night, so she was on her back. Lying comfortably next to her was Inuyasha. His chest rose in fell in even rhythm as he slept. Kagome smiled lovingly at him, but her smile faded quickly.
It'd be really nice, thought Kagome, to have little pups with Inuyasha. She blushed at the thought. But would Inuyasha go for it? He probably won't. he doesn't like children very much. If the way he treats Shippo is any indication, at least. Kagome sighed. Oh well. I'll ask him in the morning. With thoughts of little Inuyashas dancing in her head, Kagome fell deep asleep once more.
** Accordingly the next morning Kagome sought Inuyasha out privately.
"Inuyasha?" she called. He jumped out of the tree he was in and faced her.
"Yeah?" he demanded. Even though he and Kagome had been together for months, his outward treatment toward her had changed little- except he stopped calling her 'wench' and 'bitch' and 'weak, foolish mortal.'
Kagome blushed deeply. "Well, Inuyasha, I've been thinking.. Would you like to have little pups with me? You know, after we complete the Shikon Jewel and we can both become full demons."
Inuyasha blushed only slightly. "It's not that I would or wouldn't like to," he answered quietly. "It's just. we can't."
"Why not?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome with pain in his eyes. "It'd hurt you," he said. "The reason why would pain you."
"Tell me," Kagome persisted.
"There's a curse on me," Inuyasha said. "From a long time ago. I had defeated this demon-master. and as I smirked over his barely-alive body, he lifted his weak forefinger and put the curse on me.
"'May you and your posterity be forever cursed! You shall have eight chidren: seven will not make it past their first week. The eighth will kill you and your mate.' And with that the old geezer died."
"Are you sure?" Kagome whispered. Inuyasha nodded.
"I'm sorr_" But Inuyasha was cut off by a figure emerging through the bushes.
It was Naraku.
"Well done, Inuyasha," he said mockingly. "Aren't you the good little doggy."
"What do you want, Naraku?" Inuyasha demanded.
"You see," he started, "I knew that demon-master who put that ridiculous curse on you. I knew him quite well, in fact."
"So what?" Inuyasha challenged.
The faint motion of shoulders shrugging was seen through the wolverine coat Naraku wore. "So nothing. Except I decided_" he whistled suddenly "- that I shouldn't wait for your children to kill you. And I need your Shikon shard (s)."
"What're you going to do?" smirked Inuyasha, hand already on the hilt of Tetsusaiga. "You going to try and kill us?"
"That's exactly what I intend to do," Naraku replied calmly. All of a sudden, innumerable snake demons burst out from nowhere that Kagome and Inuyasha could see. Naraku laughed once then disappeared.
A snake-demon sank its fang into Kagome's chest. She crumpled to the ground in pain, the wound bleeding freely. "Kagome!!" Inuyasha yelled. Quickly decapitating a snake demon, he went to her, carrying her from the battle scene. He lay her gently on the ground, hoping against hope what he knew would happen wouldn't happen. "Kagome," he repeated, more gently.
*********((A/N: This next part is what you're going to hate me for))***********
Kagome half-opened her eyes, their usual brightness dulled by death. The snake's fang had pierced Kagome's heart. Inuyasha knew that the poison in her body had already taken effect. "Inu-Inuyasha," she whispered, her breathing labored. She managed a half-smile. "Go. get 'em."
"I can't, Kagome," he whispered in return. He didn't cry, but his eyes were heavy with pain. His grief was beyond tears. "I can't leave you here."
"I. love you.Inuyasha," Kagome said softly. She reached up a hand to touch Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha caught her hand and held it, feeling it go hot and cold by turns.
"My, my, isn't this sweet," came a mocking voice. It was Naraku again. "Love together, die together, eh?" He called to a snake demon.
It held a spear. The blade dripped with blue poison.
"Strike."
The snake demon lifted the spear up high and brought it straight down at Inuyasha.
It skewered him and went through Kagome.
"I.love you too. Kagome," Inuyasha managed to say. With his last effort, he brushed his lips against Kagome's and gathered her in his arms before they died.
The glaive was still in their bodies.
******************************************** Hehehehehehe, I'm a very, very evil authoress. I know the bad guy should never win- it's like the first rule of all stories. But dontcha think that it'd be cool if the good guys lost once in a while? I mean, I'd be really unoriginal if I just did what everyone else did. Still, I know a lot of people are probably going to flame me, and I'm not going to stop you. In fact, you could say I almost look forward to flames. As long as they're good flames. Not like the one I was talking about before.
