Hello loyal readers and reviewers!!! This will be the last chapter for N/K!
At the bottom I'll tell you what's going to happen next chapter. Lots of
surprises and explanations in this one so hopefully that will make it long
enough. I even have a sequel idea but for some reason I don't feel like I
should do it. What do you think? Tell me in your review please! ^^V

Negoda opened his eyes slowly. The newly rising sun startled him. How long had he been out? And what the hell happened? Sitting up he felt a bit dizzy. He put his hand on his forehead and realized that his horns were gone. He flexed his shoulders and sighed. His horns were gone but his body hadn't finished transforming back yet. Then his memory came painfully flooding back.
Kazumatta, his transformation, fighting Kagome, Kagome floating, and...her wish.
"Oh shit, Kagome!" he yelled getting up and looking around for her. He spotted her lying on the dirt and before he knew it he was kneeling beside her. She was slightly breathing still but her heart was stopping. Negoda picked up her head off the floor and hugged her.
"Kagome. " he called her name. Her eyes fluttered for a fraction of a second but nothing else happened.
"Get away from her!" Shippo yelled. He ran over and began pounding on Negoda's back. "You hurt her! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!" he cried. He seemed no longer afraid of Negoda. His love for Kagome was more important. The now teary-eyed Shippo ran over and held Kagome's hand.
"Wake up Kagome. It's Shippo! Remember?" he asked. She didn't move. Shippo bit her finger firmly. Yet she didn't even stir. Shippo drew blood before Negoda angrily pushed Shippo away.
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked angrily. Shippo began crying.
"It worked last time." He said wiping his eyes with his sleeve. "She woke up last time. Why won't she wake up anymore?" he asked. Negoda went pale.
"Shippo.she's..dying." Negoda whispered. He felt horrible telling a child that.
"Not uh! I'll show you!" Shippo said. He landed lightly on Kagome's stomach.
"Kagome I'm hungry! Let's go get some food from your time!" he shouted. His face fell when Kagome didn't move. His eyes began to tear up again.
"Kagome, Inuyasha hit me." He lied. That always woke her up. Always. Though now her breathing became less frequent. Tears fell down the kitsune's face and he began hitting Kagome with his tiny fists.
"Kagome wake up! It's not funny anymore! You're scaring me!" he shouted. Negoda was about to pull him away but the child stopped.
"Wait Kagome! If you leave then nobody will take care of me. You promised you would and if you don't I'll be mad at you." Shippo said. His voice was unsteady.
Kagome stopped breathing.
"No!" Shippo cried. He began to stroke her hair. "Wait." He said quietly. His tears fell on her face. "I'm sorry." He said to her. "I'm sorry if I didn't listen and I'm sorry for bothering Inuyasha and I'm sorry for getting him mad at you because you made him sit when he hit me. I promise to be good Kagome! I promise. You can't leave yet." Little Shippo said to her.
Negoda picked her up. " I'm...sorry Shippo." He said. "She's gone." And he began crying too.
"Wait!" Shippo yelled. He looked as if he was going to say something else but instead he began crying loudly. Negoda felt compelled to comfort him. It was Negoda's fault for not keeping his bad side under control.
"Shippo it will be alright. Don't cry."
"No it won't! Kagome! I want Kagome! Give her back to me! You took her away and I WANT HER BACK! I WANT KAGOME! I LOVE KAGOME!" Shippo shouted at the top of his lungs.
They heard a sharp intake of breath and Negoda felt movement in his arms. He stared down to see Kagome's glowing body. Her eyes wide open. Negoda stared at her.
She looked to him and smiled.
"Sorry if I offended you." She said. Her voice weak. Negoda leaned down and kissed her. When he broke away he smiled. He was still crying.
"Idiot. It's not that. You left me and I thought you weren't coming back." He whispered.
Shippo leaped up and hugged Kagome tightly. " Kagome!" he called happily. Kagome hugged him back. Shippo the looked at Negoda.
" You saved Kagome so I forgive you." He said. Negoda stared confused. He then just nodded. Kagome then kissed Shippo on his cheek. "No you were the one who saved me." She told him. "I was dying and when you called out my name I followed your voice." She explained.
"Thank you, Shippo."
" You're welcome Kagome and thank you for coming back." He said. He then smiled. "Let's go tell Miroku and Sango and Inuyasha and Anagi that you're back!" he said. Kagome tapped her forehead lightly.
"I forgot about them!" she said. She was trying to get down but Negoda wouldn't let go of her.
"What are you doing?" he asked her.
"Trying to walk."
"I have a better idea." He said and he flexed his shoulders a bit.
They began walking. Well actually Negoda was carrying them both. The land began to go uphill yet Negoda carried them as if they were as light as feathers. Then they reached a cliff that overlooked a lush and green valley. The sun was still rising so the sky was a light pink and orange.
"It's beautiful." Kagome observed. Shippo nodded.
"Then you're going to love my next surprise." Negoda said. His feet tipped over the edge of the cliff.
"Negoda you're a bit too close. We could fall." Kagome warned him. Heights weren't exactly her best friend.
"That's the whole idea." Negoda said. "Hold on." He warned and jumped over the edge. ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------- --------------------
Kagome screamed. Shippo screamed. Negoda laughed. They all hurtled to the ground and riiiight before they hit the bottom they suddenly pulled up. They rose higher and higher until they passed the cliff that Negoda had jumped off. The began to soar through the valley.
"What in the world?" Kagome asked.
"Look at my back."
"AHH! Negoda you have wings!"
"Thank you for informing me of the obvious."
"THIS IS SO COOL! WEEEEEE!" (Shippo)
"I just came back to life! You wanna kill me again by giving me a heart attack?"
Negoda laughed. "I thought you would like to fly." He told her. Kagome gave him a death glare. Negoda saw it and gulped. Kagome was reaching out to strangle the man when suddenly Shippo shouted out.
"Hey look it's Sango! And that body on the floor must be Miroku! HI SANNNGO!" he called.
Negoda began to glide down towards them. He landed gracefully and put Kagome on her feet. The group rushed to them and jumped them with questions. Negoda became serious.
"Everything will be answered later. Kagome needs her rest." He said and the nodded.
"Hey Inuyasha!" Sango called up a tree. She then turned to Kagome.
"He's been threatening us ever since we took him away. We've been guarding the tree too make sure he wouldn't escape." She whispered.
"But he's fast." Kagome told her. Sango then pointed to Anagi. Anagi stood with two mini Inuyasha's on each side of her. Each one held a spell.
"That's Anagi's version of sit. She says 'heel' and Inuyasha freezes in his place." Sango explained.
"Sango call my name again and I'll kill you." Inuyasha's voice was suddenly heard.
Kagome walked up to the tree and leaned against the bark.
"Inuyasha! Don't be so mean." She scolded him. Inuyasha dropped down.
"K-Kagome?" he asked. He touched her face to make sure she was really there. He then pulled her into a hug. Kagome smiled.
"I missed you too Inuyasha." she said and fell asleep right in his arms.
------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------- ----------------------- ------------
Okay we are going to skip a few months ahead but let me fill you in. Kagome forgave Inuyasha and they actually became close friends.
Negoda continued to train Kagome and now trained Shippo also.
Miroku and Sango were planning their wedding.
I forgot about Kikyo so let's just say that she went jewel shard hunting.
--------------------- ------------------------ --------------------- ------- ----------------------------------
"Time to wake up you two." Negoda said ruffling Shippo's hair. "Breakfast is ready and we have a lot to do today." He told them. As soon as Negoda had said breakfast, Shippo had ran off to the table. Negoda nudged Kagome.
"Wake up."
"Who me?" she asked and sighed. "I'm so tired! I think I'm sick! I don't think I can do anything. You better just leave me out of this." she said. Negoda leaned down and kissed her. He began pulling back but she moved forward so that it couldn't end. He finally broke away.
"If you have enough energy for that then you're okay. Get up now or you won't get your surprise." He said and began walking away. One.two.three.and
"Surprise? What surprise! Today is my birthday you know!"
"I know! You've lodged it into my memory since last month. It's a very special surprise. I'm sure you'll like it."
------------------- --------------------------------------------------- ---- ---------------------------------------
"Negoda?"
"Yes Kagome."
"I don't like it."
Negoda laughed. The three of them stood on a tree branch overlooking a pack of sleeping wolves. Negoda placed two fingers on Kagome's arm and pressed firmly. That arm became immobile. Kagome's other hand held a slab of raw meat.
"Today you will train to learn how to fight off more then one enemy while injured." Negoda explained. He pointed to her immobile arm.
"That's you're broken Arm." He stated and then pointed to the meat. "That is someone you must protect from the wolves."
"It's a slab of bloody meat. Not a person." She argued. Shippo patted the meat.
"Hi! I'm Shippo and I'll call you Fred and if Kagome passes we can play." He said innocently.
Negoda and Kagome stared at him and sweat dropped. Then Negoda pushed Kagome into the clearing. "Begin!" he shouted.
The wolves smelled the meat and began to wake up. They saw Kagome and the food and began to growl. Kagome panicked.
"Negoda help!" she called.
Negoda sat down on the branch and yawned.
"I'm so tired! I think I'm sick! I don't think I can do anything. You better just leave me out of this." he mimicked.
----------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------
At the end of the day the three sat down and watched the sun set. Shippo had cried himself to sleep because Kagome had passed her test and they had cooked the meat for dinner. Shippo didn't want to eat Fred but Negoda told him that it was to eat or starve.
Kagome had a few scratches from the wolves but she did just fine. Wolves did NOT want to mess with her anymore. Oh no.
Negoda had a black eye from Kagome. She told him it was because of a bad birthday present and he should be ashamed. Negoda knew NOT to mess with Kagome anymore. Especially on her birthday. Oh no.
"Negoda I want to ask you something." Kagome said.
"Go ahead."
"When we fought and my power bloomed, why did you appear as my father?"
"Would you have listened to me if I appeared as my normal self?"
Kagome shook her head no.
"That's why. I knew what you're father looked like because you told me about him once. You described him to me from a picture that you had in your bag. So I thought that if I turned into someone you would listen to then you would obey me."
"Oh." Kagome said.
"Negoda one more thing."
"Yes Kagome?"
"Anagi is a full god isn't she?"
"Yes. But how did you know?"
"When she was telling me about you're past she mentioned that there were ten gods. Then when she mentioned of how they plotted against your father she told us that there were only eight who bribed the demons. I figured that you're father was the absent god and she was the other one."
"That's very clever. Yes it's true. When the demon came after my mother I was with her. They were going to kill me first but Anagi saved me. She warned my mother and told her that she would keep me safe. My mother trusted her and Anagi took me away from the battle."
"So why is she so small?"
" God's are like demons. They age much slower. Anagi will be that size for the next five hundred years! She lives forever so she has time. Yet when she chose to save my life she gave up most of her powers. She can only die if someone or something kills her." He explained.
"Oh. Why did she want to save you?"
"Her father was a god when she saved me. So she felt compassion and guilt. The other gods turned against her father and killed him also because of what she did. She became a god in front of my very eyes. Her eyes were just like mine but because she was only thinking of helping others she got control over it. If she ever returned to the realm of the gods then she'll be put on trial by them and killed. So she stayed with me and I adopted her as my 'younger sister' because of her size. She's much older then me actually."
"Oh. So that's what Kazumatta meant when he called Anagi a traitor."
"Yes."
" Your mother. I recognized her. What was her name?"
"She was such a kind mother. Always putting me first. Never complained and always helped others. Someday I'll go to the realm of the god's and revenge her death."
"Oh. I'll go with you. But her name, Negoda. What was it?"
"Her name was Midoriko."
---------------------------- --------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- ------------
Ok I think I like it right there. It's obvious enough that Negoda and Kagome are together. I have an idea for the sequel for the N/K story! Tell me if ya want it and I'll tell you next chapter.
Ok now listen up!
Then next chapter is what would happen if Inuyasha and Kagome got together instead. It will be like this chapter never happened. Ok? Ok. Next chapter if for all of you not just those I/K fans!! SO check it out! Oh yes and I will not put a lemon in this story because I feel that if I do add a lemon it will ruin the story. I like it just the way it is.
e-mail me if you have any questions! ^^V
