Review responses:
LostDarkness: Hey! It's not the worst cliffhanger I've ever had, so why are you getting so angry? Anyway, I just finished reading your bio. Heehee. Pretty funny. That could never happen to me and Tail, 'cuz unfortunately we're stuck together *yank yank* Oh and, by the way, I didn't see any mistakes in your review this time! Congrats! *runs and hides*
Inuhugger: Don't worry! I hate chain letters, too! I won't send you any. Just random, stupid junk. (Pretty funny junk, I might add.) Anyway, have you noticed that this is my first cliffhanger in a long time? Geez. THE END IS NEAR!!! Sorry. Enjoy this chap!
elven dragonlord: No! No! I can't take all this nice-ness from Sesshy!!! It's not natural!!!!!!!!!!! *runs away screaming in a high-pitched voice* Tail: That's not natural, either.
Inuyasha Mistress: Dang right you had a cliffhanger! For your own good, I suggest you update soon! *in a sweet voice* Oh, and for the spelling correction: You're welcome! *smiles*

"I have been waiting for you, and now I will take what is mine!"
The demon was so huge, Inu-Yasha found himself wondering how it had managed to hide itself in the trees. It looked like a huge lizard, but it was an eerie, see-through blue-ish purple color and when it moved, it didn't really walk. One of its legs would shrink back into its body like a glob of Jell-O while at the same time, another leg would grow out in front of it. It's eyes were two white points of light, like stars in a night sky. Over all, the demon's body just looked like a glob of jelly in the vague shape of a dragon.
"Who are you?!!"
"I am a demon of the night. I have no name. But if you must call me something, call me Kanashimi."
"Well, Kanashimi, I hope you're ready to fight because there's no way I'm just gonna hand the Shikon Jewel over!!" Inu-Yasha said, drawing his Tetsusaiga. "Myuka! Go hide somewhere!"
Myuka nodded.
"No use hiding," Kanashimi said, "for you will both be dead soon, anyway."
"You're the one who's going to be dead!!" Inu-Yasha charged and swung his Tetsusaiga.
Kanashimi dodged out of the way at a surprisingly quick pace. He then raised himself up on its hind "legs", his dragon-ish wings outstretched. The tips of his fingers suddenly became hard, sharp claws which he swung at Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha jumped out of the way just in time.
~
Almost a half an hour later, the battle was still raging on. Neither of the two fighters seemed to be able to land an effective hit. Because of Kanashimi's size, it was fairly easy for Inu-Yasha to dodge his attacks, but he was starting to get worn out.
'I have to end this battle quickly or I'm in trouble!' Inu-Yasha thought.
"I'm tired of playing games. Now, Inu-Yasha, prepare to DIE!!!" The demon opened its mouth. A small point of fiery light appeared and slowly started to grow larger.
'Oh no!'
"Myuka!! Shoot an arrow at it! NOW!"
Myuka strung an arrow as quickly as she could. She took aim, pointing the arrow towards the demon's head. She released the arrow towards its target.
'I hope this works,' Inu-Yasha thought.
"Bakuryuuha!!!!" he yelled as he swung his Tetsusaiga towards the wind scar.
The spiritual energy from Myuka's arrow and the force of the wind scar melded together and for a moment it looked like another dragon facing down Kanashimi. Then Kanashimi released his own attack. The two blasts of power shot towards each other and for a moment, everything slowed almost to a standstill. The two attacks clashed and a tremendous explosion of power ensued. Inu-Yasha and Kanashimi watched in horror as they were both engulfed in the light of the explosion. Then, just as quickly as it had slowed, time sped up again. But Myuka was the only one to notice.
~
Inu-Yasha found himself walking through a beautiful field next to a clear, clean pond. The sky overhead was a brilliant light blue with just a few wisps of clouds floating by every so often. Everything just seemed a bit too perfect.
"Where am I?" he asked to no one in particular.
"Does it matter?"
Inu-Yasha jumped in surprise. He hadn't been expecting an answer. He tuned towards the source of the voice and got yet another surprise.
"Ka-Kagome?"
He was shocked. There in front of him stood the woman he love looking the same way she had when he had left her all those years ago.
"B-but you're dead!"
"I know I am."
"But does that mean that I'm-?"
Kagome turned her head toward the ground. He walked towards Kagome until they were just inches apart.
"Why do you look so sad?" he asked. "This means that we can finally be together, right?"
Kagome shook her head.
"What? Why not?"
"Inu-Yasha. There's someone else who needs you more than I do right now."
Inu-Yasha looked confused.
"You know who I'm talking about."
Inu-Yasha turned his eyes toward the ground.
"Will you go to her?"
"I- Yes."
"Don't worry, Inu-Yasha. You will see me again when the time comes."
Inu-Yasha nodded.
"Farewell, Inu-Yasha."

Inu-Yasha opened his eyes to a sky full of stars. His entire body hurt and he was lying in a wet substance which he could only guess to be blood. He heard a faint sobbing noise and felt an odd weight on his chest. He looked down and couldn't help but smiling a little at what he saw. Myuka was there with her arms and head on his chest sobbing her heart out.
"Hey runt. What's with the tears?"
Myuka stopped sobbing and looked up. Her eyes widened when she saw Inu-Yasha.
"You're okay!!" she yelled, promptly throwing her arms around his neck. "I- I th-thought that you w- were dead," she said between sobs.
"But I'm not, am I? So stop crying, okay?"
Myuka nodded.
"We'll be able to go home soon. There's nothing to worry about anymore."
Inu-Yasha listened to the slowing sound of her sobs as he slipped out of consciousness.

YAY! This has to be one of my favorite chappies!!! Sorry about how short it was, though. Anyway, this was the last REAL chapter. It will be followed by an epilogue, so don't worry!
I plan on my next fic coming out in early March. Check my bio every so often to see if that's changed. Don't forget to review!!
