Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter twenty one: The last battle.

Sesshoumaru called everyone into his office except Aiko since she wasn't a

fighter. He finally had a plan that he knows will work against Inuyasha.

Sesshoumaru knew where Inuyasha was hiding at now.



"I know where Inuyasha is at." Sesshoumaru told the group. "I found something

in the god tree at Kagome's shrine when I was looking around. It would seem

Kikyou knew that she was going to die." Kagome, Kouga, Miroku, Shippo, and

Sakura watched as Sesshoumaru pulled a sword out of an old long metal box. The

sword was tetsuaiga.

"Kikyou hid the sword?" Kagome was surprised that Inuyasha would let it out of

his sight.

Sesshoumaru nodded. "You see the tetsuaiga is used to protect not destroy when

Inuyasha changed he couldn't use the sword any more it had nothing to do with him

being full demon. See." Sesshoumaru pulled the sword out of the sheath and

everyone was awed as it transformed into the fang. "I'm able to use it now

because of Aiko and the others that I protect."

Kouga smirked with the tetsuaiga in Sesshoumaru's hands, Inuyasha didn't have a

chance. "So what is your plan Sess?"

Sesshoumaru placed the sword back in his sheath. "Inuyasha is staying in an old

warehouse. Kikyou left the information in a note with the sword. He will have

to die so I will warn you both Kagome and Sakura before deciding to come."

Kagome sighed, she didn't want Inuyasha to die but she knew he had to. "No I

will go."

"So will I." Sakura glared at Miroku daring him to argue.

"Then let's go and get this over with." Sesshoumaru watched as everyone left

his office. When everyone was, gone Sesshoumaru took out an old scroll in his

desk. "I will make up for all the mistakes I have made." With that thought

Sesshoumaru went to join the others.

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

Inuyasha paced back and forth. He knew they were coming and he also knew he

wouldn't live past the night. Inuyasha sighed, he wasn't always evil and now

he wished he hadn't listened to Kikyou. But it was too late now, he had to face

his fate.

Inuyasha prayed hoping he will be forgiven for all the bad things he had done.

Maybe it will be better to roast in hell with Kikyou.

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

Kagome walked behind Kouga as they neared the warehouse. They agreed that

Sesshoumaru will be the one to fight him. Kagome knew Sesshoumaru was up to

something he seemed spaced out. Kagome missed her old friend Inuyasha. However

this was the only way. She just hoped Kami would give him a second chance at

life maybe as a human.

"Kagome come on." Kouga pulled her with him. Sesshoumaru had found Inuyasha and

noticed that they were talking but he couldn't hear a word they were saying.

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

"You know why I have to do this?" Sesshoumaru asked his half brother. "You

became what you hated Inuyasha and for that you must die."

Inuyasha grinned. "I know Sesshoumaru but that doesn't mean I will make it easy

on you. We do hate each other?"

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "No Inuyasha, I don't hate you. I wished I have

done things differently."

"You mean kicking me out when both father and mother was killed." Inuyasha spat

out. He hated his brother more than anything because of that.

Sesshoumaru nodded, he didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry Inuyasha, I was mean

and heartless I know that now. I should have raised you and taken care of you

instead I sent you away."

Inuyasha was shocked, and he never expected to hear those words come out of

Sesshoumaru's mouth. "I forgive you brother, but we will still fight."

Sesshoumaru took out the tetsuaiga. "Yes brother we will fight." If Inuyasha

was shocked at seeing his sword in Sesshoumaru's hand, he didn't show it.

Kouga, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, and Sakura watched as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha

fought. They were fighting like they were enjoying it. Inuyasha would strike at

Sesshoumaru with his claws and Sesshoumaru would strike back. And what shocked

Kouga was Sesshoumaru wasn't using his poison or the tetsuaiga.



The fight went on and on with both demons getting hurt. They were equal in

their fighting. But Kouga knew it was about to end he saw it in both Sesshoumaru

and Inuyasha's eyes.

"It's time Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru took a swipe with the tetsuaiga slicing

through Inuyasha's chest. Everyone knew he couldn't live through that.

"Thanks brother." Inuyasha smiled at his Sesshoumaru. He never met to

hurt anyone it was like he couldn't help himself. "Tell everyone I'm sorry."

"We forgive you Inuyasha." Kagome said with tears in her eyes. Kouga took her

in his arms.



"Good bye Inuyasha." Kouga never liked Inuyasha but he knew he never wanted to

turn out the way he was.

Shippo, Miroku and Sakura all smiled forgiving Inuyasha they knew he if he

could, Inuyasha had changed.

Sesshoumaru spoke up. "Everyone please back away from Inuyasha."

They thought Sesshoumaru was going to use the tensuaiga to heal Inuyasha and

give him a second chance. But all they heard was Sesshoumaru chanting.

Kouga, Kagome and the others watched as a white light enveloped Inuyasha's body

making it lift up. It was so bright that they had to turn away. The whole time

Sesshoumaru kept chanting.



Kagome turned when she noticed the light and the chanting were gone only to

stare at the sight in front of her.

In Sesshoumaru's arms was a hanyou child around the age of one. He had white

hair and doggy ears on top of his head. He was wrapped in Sesshoumaru's jacket.

The child looked just like a younger version of Inuyasha.

"Sesshoumaru, what did you just do?" Kouga was the first one to find his voice.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Sesshoumaru smiled. "I gave Inuyasha a second chance." Sesshoumaru hugged the

little boy. "He doesn't remember anything. He is what he seems a one year old

who still has his life to live. The past never happened for this child."

Kagome and Sakura squealed running up to Sesshoumaru. "He's so cute."



Miroku and Kouga sighed. Women and babies.



Kagome took Inuyasha from Sesshoumaru and smiled when he hugged her. "What do

you plan to do with him?"

"I plan to raise him." Sesshoumaru smiled at the little boy in her arms.

Sakura grinned. "As a big brother?" She already knew the answer.

"No, I'm going to be a father to him." Sesshoumaru said shocking all but Sakura.

"Inuyasha is no longer my brother but my son since I had him reborn. I will do

what I should have done in the first place."

Kagome smiled, it would seem Inuyasha had a bright future after all. "If you

need help please just ask."

Sesshoumaru laughed. "You didn't tell her yet did you Kouga?"

Kouga blushed, he knew what Sesshoumaru was thinking. He noticed the same thing

not to long ago.

"Tell me what?" Kagome glared at her mate.



"Will you're pregnant." Kouga blurted out. He was happy about it but he didn't

know how Kagome would take it.

Kagome placed her hand on her stomach and smiled. She was going to be a mother.

"Really, I can't wait. Inuyasha will have someone to play with." Kagome

grinned, she had always wanted to be a mother.

"I don't know about you, but I'm going home. Aiko might be worried." Shippo

said playing with Inuyasha.

"Yes, we should get back." Sesshoumaru took Inuyasha back away from Kagome.

"I have a lot to do. I need to get papers made for Inuyasha and he will need

some things."

They all left the warehouse happy that everything turned out the way it did.

Inuyasha was now a new person with a clear past and a bright future with

Sesshoumaru as a father and Kagome, Kouga and the others by his side. Everything

will be just fine.

The End.

Tell me what you think. I should have the epilogue up soon. I don't know if

I'm going to do a sequel or not.
