Finding an end is the hardest thing to do. Finding you is the best thing I have ever done in my life. But sharing my life with you forever -and after- is what makes me keep going.

I would be stubborn if I said that there's no evil in the world. I would be blind if I didn't see that this world can't give more. It would be foolish to say that I always tell the truth.

It would be ugly if they lied to you and saw nothing more.

They broke up three months later, mostly because Inuyasha didn't want to exchange diaries with her. For two days she didn't talk to him, saying that he was just a jerk that didn't understand her feelings. His solution to that problem was giving her a napkin:

"What is this? You think I'm going to forgive you for giving me a napkin?!!" Her anger had started to rise up.

"You wanted to know what I feel, didn't ya? Well, there you have it.. I'll pick you up 'morrow for school 'Gome." He walked away.

When she opened the napkin her lips curved into a smile. In the napkin was written something that she could barely understand but at the end, she figured out, it simply said:

"I love you too damn much, 'Gome.

p.s. Never underestimate the power of a napkin, koi."

***

For the first time, Inuyasha went to his mother's grave. When he was little he hadn't wanted to go, but now with her beside him he would be fine and could finally tell his mother all the things he had been through... He had almost cried, almost.

Sesshoumaru... He had finished college and was back at home with his brother. They fought all the time and, to tell the truth, the hardest times for him were when Inuyasha invited his girlfriend over to watch movies or just hang out.

Both stayed till late watching TV, and he had to suppress the emptiness that enveloped him; life wasn't fair... Later on he met a girl. She was one year younger than 'her' (Kagome) and, to be honest, the two girls looked alike but somehow different; her name was Rin.

Some days the rain comes. You can't go out. Some nights the fear comes. You can't decide. There're lots of people wanting you to go to sleep. No, don't sleep, cuz if you are awake they can't confuse you.

Concerning the others.. Kouga kept trying to seduce Kagome, until Inuyasha lost his patience and kissed her in front of him. Not just a kiss, more like a making out kiss. Kouga went to America for college. He found a girlfriend and magically forgot everything about a certain 'Gome.

Hojo. just disappeared.

Miroku & Sango are still together. They haven't married... yet. Sango got some lecherous thoughts for hanging out so much with Miroku that now, well, they live together in N.Y.C. America seemed like a good place for both of them.

Time tires you but you have to go on. Life hurts but you have to walk on. The dark night doesn't let you move. The sun's not shining but you have to bloom

Some drugs confuse you and they can make you bad.* Some girls, they cheat on you and don't give more.* There're lots of people always singing the same song. Listen always to the music that is in your heart.

After finishing high school, Inuyasha studied business enterprise. Sesshoumaru would share the company that their father had passed down to them as soon as Inuyasha turned twenty-one. He didn't wait long.

Kagome studied law. Since she liked to talk a lot and defend innocent people, that job fitted her perfectly. She became the head lawyer for Shikon Inc., her boyfriend's company.

If I don't help myself, no one is gonna help me. If I don't yell it, no one will listen. If I'm this lonely, I can't let myself down, Losing time like this.

Time tires you but you have to wait. Life hurts but you have to walk on.

The dark night doesn't let you move.

The sun's not shining but you have to bloom.

On Kagome's birthday, Inuyasha proposed to her. To tell the truth, that was the happiest day of her life.

He hadn't done anything spectacular, even though he could have done it with all the money that he had made since a few months ago. But he wasn't like that. It wasn't him to say things out loud for everyone to hear; after all, the only person he was proposing to was his Kagome.

"Kagome, look," - He looked directly into her eyes - "I can't promise you that I'll always be a gentleman cuz I ain't one-"

"I know that, but-" He hushed her, placing a finger on her lips.

"Let me finish. I could promise you lots of money, but I know you don't like to live like a princess. I can only promise you two things:" - He took a deep breath - "to love you always without any doubts and as sure as hell I know I'll do it, and.. and to be a good father."

"I'm not pregnant, you know?" She looked puzzled at him.

"Wait till the honeymoon and you'll see why I'm promising this." He smirked.

"You are asking me to marry you, right? Because in that whole speech you haven't said it, and it's kind of difficult to understand you." She grinned.

"I'm not like the other guys, but if that's what you want..." He started to kneel down before Kagome stopped him.

"Don't do it. You're right; I don't need you to ask it traditionally." Kagome smiled at him.

"So what do you say?" He looked directly at her, searching for an answer.

"Okay, but be a good father!!"

Two months later they were married.

What happened after? That's up to you.

Time tires you but you have to wait. Life hurts but you have to walk on.

The dark night doesn't let you move.

The sun's not shining but you have to bloom.

And that's the end!!! Lame? It sucked? Well tell me, k?

I'll post my thanks list later on ok? I'm just kinda busy here and i wanted to update now.
