Hello and welcome to the final chapter of Inuyasha and Kagome. This is it, the end. And for the record so you all now. I only ever have about 15% of these chapters planned which explains the corny stuff.


********************************************************************************************


Last time on Inuyasha and Kagome:


Kagome shrank into Inuyasha but to no avail as Kikyo's demons came out of seemingly nowhere and captured Kagome. One wrapped around her left arm, another around her right, one around her legs and another around her neck, and they dragged her away from Inuyasha and into the air. "Kikyo! Let her go!" "No Inuyasha, once I rid us of this wench we can finally be together!"


********************************************************************************************


Inuyasha growled, barring his fangs, "Kikyo, let her go NOW or else!" Kikyo chuckled under her breath then laughed (manically, might I add). "Inuyasha, how foolish of you. If you really care for this girl so much then I suggest you do as I say and maybe her death will be quick and painless...maybe." Inuyasha growled but stepped back. He didn't like admitting defeat but he really didn't have choice; he just had to get to Kagome before Kikyo could.


"Good boy, Inuyasha, now come here." Before Inuyasha could say no, Kikyo had brought him to her using her powers. Kikyo looked up at Kagome, who was cringing it pain, and smirked. "How does it feel to finally have everything you could dream of, then have it snatched right out of your hands. Soon you'll be dead and Inuyasha will be mine and there's nothing you can do about it." Kikyo laughed manically unaware of what was happening to the miko above her.


'She can't...no she won't have Inuyasha! I finally have his love, and I wont give it up easily.' "Never..." Kagome spoke very weakly. Both Kikyo and Inuyasha looked up at Kagome. Kagome lowered her head so her eyes were shaded as her aura flared. "You will never destroy my life just because yours was. And you will NEVER have Inuyasha again!" Kagome's aura grew strong as power emitted from her body killing the demons that bound her. Even with the demons gone, Kagome still remained in mid-air. "I love Inuyasha and he loves me. You can't have him!"


Kagome sent a blast of energy towards Kikyo knocking her to the ground cringing in pain. Inuyasha looked up at Kagome, wonder, amazement and even fear in his eyes. "What's happening to you Kagome?" Kagome looked down at Inuyasha, and what he saw shocked him even more. Her eyes were no longer brown, but a soft pink, similar to her aura, but different. Looking into her eyes he got a weird feeling that he had felt before. But where? And what was it? (CLUE!!! CLUE!!! *waving arms and pointing* there is a clue in there!)


Kikyo rose from the ground, "I'm not sure how you got so strong so fast, but it isn't going to save you!" And with that the battle began. Each blast Kikyo sent towards Kagome was dodged and another returned. But they were making more commotion then they knew, and at the bottom of the Higurashi (am I getting close?) Shrine a crowd was gathering. People stood there, all transfixed. Women with children clutching to them, men with wonderment on their faces, nobody knew what was going on, but they were all curious. Three girls passing by examined th crowd and pushed their way up to the front.


"Oh my god! That's Kagome!", one of the girls shrieked. The other two looked up to find their best friend floating in mid-air with another girl heading up towards her. (and by mid-air, I mean about 2-3 stories off the ground) The three girls immediately took off up the stories hoping to get a better view of what was going on.


Meanwhile Kagome was using her powers to entrap Kikyo and raise her off the ground. Once Kikyo was eye level with Kagome, it was Kagome's turn to smirk. "You now have two choices Kikyo. You can return to the Feudal Era and live there for as long as you wish and never bother me, Inuyasha, or any of our friends again... or you can refuse and be dropped to the ground having your clay body shattered and your soul trapped in this world. It's your choice for I will show you no mercy if you refuse the first option." "I will never let you win, you would have to kill me first, not that you have the guts!" Kikyo spat and Kagome. Kagome face remained emotionless, "So be it then." Kagome released Kikyo who smirked sure that her demons would save her. But when they came, Kagome merley killed them and watched Kikyo hit the ground and her clay body shatter. (Yes, no splat, but shatter, she was made of clay.)

A fragment of a soul rose from the shattered remains and went strait to were it came from, Kagome. Once the soul entered Kagome she felt almost whole again. "It is over.", she whispered. And with the her aura calmed and she fell. Inuyasha Immediately jumped up and caught her noticing how she had fainted. Inuyasha landed on the ground and attempt to wake Kagome, but to no avail. "Kagome, come on, please wake up! Kagome!" "What's wrong with her? And who are you?" Inuyasha looked up to see three girls standing over him obviously concerened 'they must be her friends'. He stood up holding Kagome in his arms, "I'm not sure what happened, she seems to have fainted but I think its far more then that, as for who I am, I am Inuyasha." The girls stood there stunned, "Your..your Inuyasha", the girl on the right said. "I'm Eri, this is Yuka," pointing to the girl in the middle, "and she's Ayami." (I think that's their names. Someone left me a review on them but I forgot, I saved it but now I can't find it) "We should get her to a hospital." Yuka said.


Inuyasha sighed, he knew this was nothing that doctors would know of he needed to get her to Kaede, but he couldn't very well tell the girls that. "I Have another place I need to take her, not to a hospital, but to a...a friend." "Well were going with you." Eri said and the other to nodded. "Fine",Inuyasha said, "but I'm warning you it's a very dangerous place." The girls stood the ground, refusing to let him take her alone. "Follow me." Inuyasha led the way to the well. "The well?" Ayami said, "what does this have to do with anything?" "Just hold on to me and you'll see." The girls obeyed and grabbed onto Inuyasha. He jumped down into the well and the girls couldn't believe what happened next.


They had reappeared back at the well and the girls looked confused, but even more so when Inuyasha jumped out of the well and they were in a forest. Luckily for Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were having a picnic by the well. They looked up from their play and their mouths dropped open as the saw Inuyasha and not one, but four girls. "Oi, Inuyasha! What happened to Kagome-san, and who are they?" Mioku said. "I have to get Kagome to Kaede, I'll explain what happened later. These are Kagome's friends, can you guide them safely to the village while I run on ahead?" "Of course Inuyasha." Miroku said with a perverted smile which got him a hit on the head from Sango, "Don't even think about it you lecherous monk." "Oi, Sango, I'm sure you'll keep Miroku from groping the girls?" "As always." Inuyasha nodded and left.


The girls just stood there amazed, confused, and curious. "Umm...what's going?" Eri said. "And where are we?" spoke Yuka. "And how can he go so fast?" wondered Ayami. Sango looked at the girls, "Follow me, I'll explain on the walk to the village, and stay away from the Miroku and his 'wandering hands' as he calls them." (Little OCC, but it is to be expected from time to time)



(A/N: I was going to end it here, but, honestly, I want to get this story over with)



Inuyasha entered Kaede's hut with a still limb Kagome in his arms. "What happened to ye?" Kaede asked as she hurried over to Inuyasha. "Some things wrong with Kagome, she wont wake up, but she's not dead." "Ye set her down over there and I shall have a look." Inuyasha did as he was told and set Kagome down where Kaede had suggested, then he sat down next to her (being Kagome). Kaede came up and looked at Inuyasha squarely, "Inuyasha, if ye wish for me to examine young Kagome, ye will have to move." Inuyasha looked up at Kaede and reluctantly moved to the side.


After about 15 minutes, everyone else had arrived (I honestly have no idea how long it takes to get from the well to the village, and I don't care) and Kaede was done examining Kagome. They were all currently sitting in a circle around the fire with Kagome off to the side. (lol, I'm sorry, but it's funny to write that) Ayami, Eri, and Yuka had gotten a little more use to this "strange land" as they called it. Miroku, on the walk to the village, had tried to grope to girls several times but only to get beaten by ll four girls so had given up after awhile. Sango had told the girls of their times here and how they all met Kagome.


There was dead, uncomfortable silence in Kaede's hut. Everyone was awaiting to hear what was wrong with Kagome. Kaede let out a deep, worries sigh. She looked to the ground, closed her eyes, then spoke. "I am sorry to say to ye that Kagome has fallen into a coma." There were gasp all around except for Inuyasha who was intent on keeping his eyes on the ground. "But," Kaede started again, "Maybe if ye, Inuyasha, would offer a few words of insight as to what had happened in Kagome's time, we can figure out what was wrong." Everyone turned towards Inuyasha, Kaede eyed him as he sighed. "Fine, you wanna know what happened? I'll tell you all I can."


Inuyasha told them everything, and I mean everything starting from the night before to when he "blacked out" (when he turned demon...he still doesn't know what happened) and woke up with Kagome in his arms and dried blood on his hands which had come off after awhile. And he even told them about Kikyo. After he was done he took another deep sigh and returned his attention to the floor after giving Kagome a quick glance. Everyone but him and Kaede were sitting around with their mouths hanging open at a loss for words. Kaede herself though did look surprised.


"Inuyasha, ye say her powers were amazingly strong and her eyes were a soft pink." "Ya, Why?" Kaede reached over and took the jewel from Kagome. "A soft pink color such as this?" She said holding up the shard of the jewel. Inuyasha looked up absent-mindly and nodded his head, then after a few moments he snapped too. "Kaede. You don't mean to say that-" "Yes Inuyasha, Kagome drew from the Shikon no Tama to increase her powers. Though her goal might have only been to break free and stop Kikyo, not destroy her. Like all who come in contact with the power of the jewel, Kagome also fell victim to its power. Or at least that is one possibilty" "Kaede, what does it all mean?" , asked Miroku. "It means young monk that we are to be fortunate that the power of the jewel shard didn't kill her. She has never experinced great power before, and taking on so much at once could have destroyed her."


Everyone looked over at Kagome, some expecting her to wake up, others just hoping she wouldn't die. None knowing what was going on inside of her.


**Kagome's "Dream"**


Kagome was just floating there, in pure blackness. She couldn't here anyone or see anything besides herself. "Where am I?" She looked about as if searching for something. Floating from side to side. "Your in your own mind, your unconscious currently." spoke a smooth, sweet, and oddly similary voice. Kagome turned and saw...well...herself. "Eh?!" "Calm down," giggled the other "Kagome", "I'm your inner-voice, inner-voices tend to take on the forms of the original, just call me Kag." (Confused yet? ... good..hell if I know why I do stuff like this, I think its just to move along the plot line no matter how corny it is. That and I think the "inner-voice" previously introduced herself but I don't remember and I aint gonna check) "Eh, okay." "Now, back to business. I want to say I'm sorry." "Umm...mind explaining to me exactly what happend and why I'm unconscious cause last I remember I was trapped by Kikyo's demons." "Heh...ya...well actually...you fainted when you got captured...so..uh..I took over and..umm..used the jewel." Kagome's eyes widened, "Your...your kidding..right?" "Nope, but at least Kikyo's gone now. I lifted her up about two stories and dropped her."


Kagome put her face in the palm of her hand, "Great, and now everyone thinks I did it..well..I guess I did...but should guilt or something have stopped you." "Yes and no. You see your more like conscious state of mind, and I'm sort of the sub-conscious, or more your desires, you're the rational one. So when you blacked-out you took rationalization with you. Therefor leaving me free to do just about anything." "Okay so now what?" "Now you got to wake up. This whole thing was merely for information."


**End**


Kagome's eyes opened slowly as she came back to reality (and sanity). First thing she noticed is that she wasn't alone. She closed her eyes to take on the appearance she was still out so she could hear what was going on. There was quite a time before someone spoke, "Well, ye should all be happy that the power only made her black-out." "And put her in a potential coma!" someone else yelled. Kagome recognized the voices as Kaede and Inuyasha. "Inuyasha calm down. There be no reason for anger."


Inuyasha mumbled something under his breath. "Inuyasha," Ayami said, "would you like sometime alone? With Kagome I mean." Inuyasha looked at Ayami then at Kagome and nodded slightly. Ayami, Eri, and Yuka were the first to leave. Each gave Inuyasha a comforting pat on the shoulder as they left. Next was Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara. Kirara stopping to nudge Inuyasha a bit telling him to cheer up. And last to leave was Kaede who only gave Inuyasha a warning glare of sorts.


After everyone left Inuyasha moved closer to Kagome. Kagome was quite aware she was alone with him and could just sit up, but that wouldn't be right. No, she had to wait for the perfect opportunity. Inuyasha brushed hair off her face, "God Kagome, please wake. I don't know what I would do if you left me. Please." Inuyasha drew Kagome close to him as he started crying into her shoulder. (That's right, crying, deal with it) 'Perfect opportunity!' thought Kagome. She opened her eyes slowly and looked around making sure no one else was their, "Inuyasha?" she asked softly. Inuyasha held her out and looked at her, then hugged her again. "Kagome, your okay!" And she was suffocating, "Yes, Inuyasha. I'm fine. Can I breath now?" Inuyasha let go, "Oh. right...sorry." "It's okay, I'm glad you were worried about me, Inuyasha." She gave Inuyasha a quick kiss.


Now it was time to play dumb. "Where is everyone else?" "Oh they're outside." "Okay, I'll go get them." Kagome jumped up but was pushed back down but Inuyasha. He looked at her sincerely, "Two things. First, you should rest now cause everyone's going to be bombarding you with questions. Second, when I brought you back here I didn't come alone." Kagome raised an eyebrow in confusion, "what are you talking about Inuyasha?" "Well...three of your friends came to your house and insisted they come with me since I was taking you. I know how you didn't want anyone to know but they insisted."


Kagome's eyes went wide. Three of her friends...she could only guess who they could be. Kagome nodded, "It's okay Inuyasha, my friends would have just questioned me until they learned everything when I got back anyways." Inuyasha smiled and got up, "Okay, you stay here, I'll go get everyone." Kagome nodded in response as she watched Inuyasha walk out, stopping at the doorway first to smile at her once more then disappear outside. Once gone, Kagome slouched and sighed.


No, it was not okay that her friends now knew. Sure, she knew they wouldn't tell anyone, but that wasn't it. For some reason she knew this wasn't going to be good, and she wished that Inuyasha wouldn't have brought them. But she also knew it was inevitable. A few moments later Ayami, Eri, Yuka, Sango, and Miroku all came rushing in, Kaede entered slowly and remained by the door. They (minus Kaede, she's at the door) swarmed around her asking her questions like "Are you okay?" and "What happened?" (Not that they didn't know, but they wanted to know what caused her to..."kill" Kikyo) Kagome got a little panicked but thankful to Inuyasha protectiveness everyone got shoed away from her.


Kagome gave Inuyasha a thankful smile as he sat down next to her. Everyone took their places in a circle. (Have you ever noticed how when they sit in Kaede's hut it is always in a form of a circle?) All watching Kagome intently. Eri, spoke first, "Kagome, can you give us a little insight to what happened?" Time to play dumb again. "What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Kagome suspiciously, "Kagome, what possessed ye to kill Kikyo?" What had possessed her to kill Kikyo. Even though it wasn't really her as she wasn't thinking rationally. "Kag", as "she" called herself, said that she was sort of her desires with no rational thought. But does that mean that she wanted Kikyo gone? "I...I couldn't..have. I mean I fainted when her demons got me. Or at least I must have because that's the last thing I remember."


"If that's the case then how did you tap into the power of the jewel shard?", asked Ayami. "How do you know about the jewel? Speaking of which, what were you three doing at my house?" The girls fell silently, "We came to your house because you never made it to school." (Yuka) "And we wanted to meet Inuyasha." (Eri) "And we wanted to tell you about Hojo's accident, people are still wondering who got to him." (Ayami) It was Kagome's turn to fall silent.


"Umm...Inuyasha?" Kagome turned to look at him, "Remember when you "blacked out" earlier." Kagome gave him a knowing look that explained everything. The others "ooo"ed, except for the girls who didn't quite understand what that had to do with anything. Miroku sighed, "Inuyasha I knew someday your jealousy would get the better of you." "Well what can you expect from a guy who's obsessed with his girlfriend." (Shippo) "Shut up runt! I'm not obsessed with anyone!" "Suuurrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeee" (Miroku, Sango, Shippo) Kagome and friends merely giggled. "Can we just drop this? Give the guy some credit." "Thank you Sango" "I mean at least he was finally brave enough to admit his feelings right?" Inuyasha smiled smugly then realized that wasn't meant as a compliment. "Hey!" Everyone laughed at that. "Lighten up Inuyasha." (Kagome..I'm finding this to be much easier) Inuyasha just huffed.


Eri looked at her watch, "Oh my god! Kagome you have to pick up your brother in twenty minutes!" Kagome perked up. "Oh my god! I almost forgot. Come on lets hurry." "Do you think we could stay here?" piped Yuka. "No now come on. Bye guys I got to hurry Inuyasha you coming or staying for awhile?" "Coming of course." Everyone said goodbye to Kagome, Inuyasha, and the girls.


They hurried off to the well, Kagome having Inuyasha give them a ride because she was in a hurry. They all jumped through together and Inuyasha helped them out of the well back in Kagome's time. "You girls can wait in the house while I go pick up Souta. Eri, Yuka, and Ayami chimed an okay before running inside. Kagome turned to Inuyasha, "You can stay here if you-" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and kissed her. Kagome pulled away, "what was that for?" "Do I need a reason to kiss you?" "No I guess not." Kagome gigled as she went for another kiss, but Eri, youka, and Ayami, came outside followed by Sota. "Hey Kagome!" Kagome turned her head and say them standing there. "Sota, what are you doing home?" "Then sent us home because some maniac was on the loose. My friend gave me a ride home." "Ookay" "and Kagome?" "Yes Eri?" "We were talking...and we approve of Inuyasha." Kagome chuckled, "okay" "Approve?" questioned Inuyasha. "I'll tell you about it later." Kagome said.


Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha neck and kissed him. His next words miffled then fallen as he put his arms around her waist.



The End

Epilogue:


Hojo was hospitalized for a few weeks. First thing he did when he got out of the hospital was ask out Kagome...again. That's when he learned she had gotten a boyfriend. No one feels sorry for him.


Ayami, Eri, and Yuka kept Kagome's secret and interrogated her every time she came home.


Kagome still went through with the play. They had managed to find a replacement for Hojo...


Inuyasha was that replacement. A full moon feel on the night of the play.


Kagome's mom and Grandpa came back in time for the play and were happy to hear that Kagome and Inuyasha had gotten together...Well her mom was. Her grandpa is still mumbling something about evil demons.


Kagome and Inuyasha, tired of being the only couple and wanting some peace got Sango and Miroku together..nothing has really changed.

That's that, that's the end. There might be a continuation if I ever get an idea for one. But don't forget my new story Love is Never Easy. The first two chapters will be posted tomorrow. So that's it. Thank you for reading and putting up with my corny and stupid ideas.
