Wow. I've suddenly gotten a lot of new people reviewing. This is
incredible!
Youkai Taijiya Kihok: No, this is the end. Wow, your name is quite a mouthful. Do you mind me asking what it means? I'm American and I only know Youkai. The other two are Greek to me. (oops, bad joke. I'm sorry.) And there is nothing wrong with reviewing the last chapter in a story. I do that all the time.
GoddessLD: Thanks for bothering to check out my other stuff. I've got a lot of stories that need some reviews. If my other stuff is junk, sorry.
Diamondtigress: Sorry you came in late! Hey, don't worry. If you want to check out other stuff I have posted, just click on my name up there. Then again, there may be a sequel! (If I get enough reviews.)
Believe it or not, this is the end. The very end. Unless I get enough reviews begging for a sequel (with ideas), then I might continue this. (NOTE: WITH IDEAS!!)
So, this is the epilogue (if you could call something this long an epilogue), and I hope you enjoyed this story.
_______________________________
Rinoa was pretty much an avoided creature the first day she came back. She still had horrible markings from her awful night, and they were obvious to all. Luckily, she was calm and reserved and she ignored the groups that stared at her in interest.
In fact, she had expected to be ignored by everyone, but to her pleasant surprise, the table she sat at welcomed her with a peppy party, not a solemn ceremony. Kagome even left her precious spot at Inuyasha's table to talk with Rinoa and congratulate her on her recovery.
Rinoa felt so loved that she decided to take Sesshoumaru's joking challenge to a duel. It was to be a quiet fight, without the great crowds. It was just to make a fact certain- that she could beat anyone she wanted to beat.
Only the two tables could come, but since Kikyo was an honorary member, it seemed that she was to come to the fight as well.
The fight went fast, as usual, and it made the fact certain. Rinoa could whip Sesshoumaru without even trying. Kikyo, though, was suddenly very interested in the fights, when before she paid them no heed, unless she had something to do with it all.
As the two fighters finished giving each other small comments about their fight, Kikyo slowly made her way to the equipment room and hid herself in the shadows. Rinoa was the first to enter, and Kikyo slowly opened her mouth to speak, but she paused, hoping the girl would not attack her when she spoke.
"Hello Kikyo," Rinoa started before Kikyo could speak. "Do you wish to ask me something?"
"Yes.I'm sorry about."
"Yes, I know you are," Rinoa answered quietly, turning to look directly at Kikyo. "But I do not find that to be a question."
"Could you.teach.me to."
"Fence? Or just all-out brawl?"
"Fence, or the basics." Kikyo murmured. Rinoa grinned quietly, habit keeping her teeth hidden.
"I need someone to run over the basics with. Meet me here after school and we'll get down to business. I only have two days after today," Rinoa reminded, polishing her sword quietly. Kikyo's face lit up and she smiled.
"Thank you, Rinoa. I can see why you are so popular," Kikyo replied. "The same reason Kagome is."
"And what is that?" Rinoa asked, her face still focused on her sword.
"The ability to forgive and have compassion."
Rinoa glanced over her shoulder at Kikyo and sighed quietly. There was silence for a moment, and Kikyo started to leave. "Kikyo.Will you try for Inuyasha again?"
Kikyo stopped and turned around. "No."
"You know you could get him back, right?"
"Yes, but Kagome really deserves him. I really wasn't that interested in Inuyasha."
Rinoa smiled, her teeth flashing momentarily. "Good. Now, I have a lesson that I want you to do before tomorrow."
"What is that?"
"Tell Kagome everything you just told me now. She thinks that you will still chase after Inuyasha, when he's the one chasing."
Kikyo's soft smile slowly crossed her face. "I will. I owe it to her."
Rinoa smiled and turned to face Kikyo entirely. "Thanks, Kikyo. See you tomorrow at the mats."
_____________________
Sesshoumaru was right: staying with him and his brother had been a good idea for Rinoa. She was becoming more open, which was a miracle to him. If it was possible for her to close up even more after that night, she had, and now was opening up again.
For the first time in months, Sesshoumaru had no troubles beside those of work and school. He knew exactly where his new charge would be and knew that the people that had hurt her could never come close to her again. She was finally safe.
He had gone to the very first lesson that Rinoa gave to Kikyo and was quite impressed by how quick Kikyo had picked up the basics.
"Nice, nice, Kikyo," Rinoa commented, walking around Kikyo as she made minor adjustments to her stance and position. Kikyo glanced at Sesshoumaru and smiled.
"I do know how to do this!" she cried happily. Rinoa turned her head back and raised an eyebrow.
"Never turn your eyes from your opponent, unless you have instincts like me and Sesshoumaru. It is asking to be beaten," Rinoa reprimanded, continuing her walk around.
"Oh." Kikyo blushed. To Sesshoumaru's eyes, she had known that but was too excited to think of that fact. He chuckled and shook his head, turning his head to the sound of the door opening.
To Rinoa's approval, Kikyo did not look away, but since he was not the pupil, Sesshoumaru was free to check. He grinned as Rin stepped into the fencing arena and trotted up to his side. Slipping an arm around her thin waist, he pulled her to him and smiled at her.
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to see how good Rinoa taught. So far, she looks like she's doing well."
"So, Rinoa's going to be a teacher, huh?" Sesshoumaru teased, but Rinoa only grinned back, her canines flashing dangerously.
"You bet, and if a student gets out of line." She snapped playfully into the air and then turned her attention back to Kikyo. Rinoa then grabbed another sword and stood before Kikyo and smiled challengingly. "Go slowly, and then we can work up to speed training."
Kikyo and Rinoa were soon fighting, but it so slow that Sesshoumaru knew she had to try hard to not really attack Kikyo. There was another sound of a door closing, but it had been closed carefully, as if the closer did not want to be noticed, so he did not glance that way. He sniffed silently and recognized his brother. He looked at Rinoa and caught her eye. She only grinned, telling him she had smelled him long before.
"Tell me, Kikyo," Rinoa started as she blocked Kikyo's aggressive attacks. "Tell me again what you think of Inuyasha and Kagome."
Kikyo looked at Rinoa for a moment, stopping in her attacks. Rinoa took her chance and forced Kikyo to the defensive. "I told you already, Rinoa."
"Yeah, well, tell me again; I want to hear it over," Rinoa answered, her face never looking toward Inuyasha, but her instincts were screaming that he was listening with all his might.
"Rinoa, I told you in the equipment room!"
"Did you tell Kagome?" Rinoa asked suddenly, catching Kikyo into a locked position so she had to overpower Rinoa to get out of the lock. Kikyo looked away, embarrassed.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Inuyasha and Kagome never left each other alone!"
"Why not tell her with Inuyasha there?" Rinoa had to keep her eyes from looking at Inuyasha as his ears were suddenly straining to hear even the catch of their breath.
"I don't want to hurt him. They're perfect together, but I.don't want to hurt him."
"Hurt him? Kikyo, you'll free him from a bondage he never knew he was in."
Sesshoumaru stared straight at his amazed brother. Inuyasha was too surprised to actually realize that he was walking into the open.
"You told me you wouldn't go after him again," Rinoa continued. "You told me that you were never quite interested in him in the first place. Come now, if you put it the right way, it won't hurt at all. Besides, then he has the knowledge of which girl he should really go for. Come on Kikyo, listen to me! If you don't really like him, don't string him along. It's better for him to find out by you telling him instead of me."
"Instead of you?" Kikyo cried indignantly. "Do you mean to.say." Kikyo trailed off, her eyes suddenly focusing on something behind Rinoa.
"Yes, I do mean to say, though I told him just now."
"Is it true, Kikyo? All of it?" Inuyasha's quiet voice asked. Rinoa did not turn her head, but she kept a tight grip on the lock she held Kikyo in.
"Y-yes. Inuyasha, you're a nice guy, but I'm.just.not.interested." Kikyo murmured. There was a silence for a few moments as Inuyasha thought it out and four people waited to hear how he would respond.
"Oh. Okay. Thanks for telling me, Kikyo."
Kikyo stared in open-mouthed amazement at Inuyasha before she turned a glare at Rinoa. Sesshoumaru and Rin stared at each other in shock before looking back at Inuyasha and Rinoa. Both had mischievous grins and were looking like they were trying not to laugh.
"Oh, and Rinoa.thanks for telling me what to expect when I got here," Inuyasha said, his voice tensed from trying to not burst into a chuckle. Kikyo's look of amazement faded to mocking anger as she glared at Rinoa.
"Oh, never told him, did you?"
"Nope. Never did," Rinoa answered, holding up two crossed fingers. Kikyo suddenly threw Rinoa back and began attacking again, but Rinoa, the more experienced, only blocked her moves with laughter. "I just had to make things right with my friends before I left."
"Left?"
"Yeah, neither of my parents can support me, and I can't stay with Sesshoumaru's hospitality for too long. Social worker's orders. So, it's off to the orphanage with me."
"That's awful!" Kikyo cried. "You should be able to stay."
"Sorry. Government's rules."
"Uh, if you two ladies will excuse me." Inuyasha started. "I've got a date I cannot be late for."
"Enjoy it!" Kikyo cried before turning back to Rinoa. "Now, to get you back for telling him."
______________________
Sesshoumaru arose early as any other day, but stopped this particular day to lay quietly in his room. Never had he had such a calm demeanor when he knew something that would change a part of his life would occur that day.
Slowly his eyes opened and he lifted the shade to see the beginning of the day, the light falling on the ground quietly. Gold was painted across the sky, a bright ball of pure yellow gold peeking over the horizon. Grey sky was immediately above the gold before fading to a deep blue. The scene was peaceful.
The peace was chased away, though, when he heard a sharp scream piercing through the morning air. He could only sigh painfully as he tried to turn his attention back to the rising sun. He could do nothing to help her get over her pain. In exchange for extreme speed, balance, and strength, as well as other improved senses, she had to experience terrible pain twice each day every day for as long as she lived.
Small rainbows jumped above the horizon, one on either side of the golden orb. Sesshoumaru's eyes trailed these for a few moments until he heard the screams end on the other side of his wall. He wandered over to her room and knocked quietly. A soft grunt gave him the permission he was seeking and he opened the door.
"Was it bad this morning?"
"Nah. I just like to exaggerate things."
Rinoa smiled up at him and stood up from the floor and looked at the ragged suitcase her possessions were piled in. "Well, today's the day. I hope you two boys can survive high school without The Bodyguard," Rinoa joked unconvincingly.
Sesshoumaru only grunted and took her pack and dragged it down the stairs, trying to not let emotions get over him. He had known for as long as he had known about her problem that if it were discovered, she would have to leave. He had just never imagined the emotions that might come of her departure.
"Hey, Sesshoumaru, please, don't cry, okay? I'm going to ask that you don't cry when I leave. Dad says that when he gets a job, he'll move here so I can stay here and spend time here, okay?" Rinoa pleaded. Sesshoumaru sighed deeply.
"If he gets a job," he replied darkly. Rinoa chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"No wonder Rin wonders if you are capable of happiness. You're always so pessimistic."
Sesshoumaru winced in guilt but accepted her friendly hug. "I guess I can't help it."
"I think you can."
______________________
The door slammed shut and the motor rumbled quietly, muffled to even his ears as the car started down the street, a dozen saddened faces watching, attached arms waving final farewells.
A thin arm slid around his waist and he grinned down at Kagome. "Hey. How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine. I really didn't know her that well," Kagome answered.
"You knew her more than I knew her, and she thinks you're a good friend."
Kagome looked away, a frown wrinkling her face prettily. "I don't know how to explain this, but when I saw her, I felt like I've always known her. It's weird."
"That doesn't matter now, does it?" he murmured, placing his own arm around her waist. Kagome looked up at him again and teasingly leaned into him.
"As long as she visits like she promised to," Kagome answered, pulling away before long. He only sighed and then gripped her waist tighter.
"How was the date the other night?"
"Perfect, but I have to admit, Kouga was more a gentleman," Kagome answered, her face totally honest and true. Inuyasha looked away, crestfallen, but her laughter brought his face back to her. "Inuyasha, it couldn't have been better. You are too sensitive."
"Me? Sensitive?" he sputtered, surprised at that idea.
"Yes, you're too sensitive."
"So, another date tonight?"
"Oh, I don't know."
"Please, give me another chance! I'll be the perfect gentleman Kouga never was."
Kagome smiled up at him. "Fine. I'll give you another chance."

YEAH! Believe it or not, that's the end. Such a sappy ending, and so OOC. And I'm sorry it was so long and drawn out. Kagome/Inuyasha fans, be happy. And if I do make a sequel, it would probably focus on Rinoa, unless someone can find a way to incorporate the others. Yay.
Review please. I don't have any creative ways to ask you to review except say please. PLEASE???
I'm done. Have a merry summer and a happy New Year! (Wait, wrong time of year!)
Now, I am really, truly, completely, utterly, finally, exhaustively done.
