Fateful Encounter with Hakudoushi

Chapter 5: Battle's End
All eyes on the street corner were staring at Inuyasha and Kagome. A light blue barrier surrounded them both as they continued their kiss. Losing his hold over Kagome and not even being able to break the barrier visibly upset Hakudoushi, floating a few feet about the ground. Quickly switching tactics, he moves to Kagome's friends and family. "I'll kill them all!" Hakudoushi yells out.
Inuyasha and Kagome, who had been in their own little world suddenly opened their eyes and pulled away from each other. Kagome's barrier disappeared. Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga quickly roared back to life. "EVERYONE, GET DOWN!" Inuyasha barked out.
"KAZE NO KIZU!" As the attack quickly nailed the floating child.
Regenerating rather quickly, Hakudoushi telekinetically moved the spear back into his hands. "YOU CAN'T WIN, HAKUDOUSHI!" Inuyasha shouted out.
Kagome raised an arrow at Hakudoushi. "YOU READY?" Inuyasha called out.
Kagome fired her arrow. "KONGOUSOUHA!" Inuyasha shouted out.
The magical diamond attack shot out and combined its power with that of Kagome's arrow. Hakudoushi quickly pulled out the Shikon no Tama and used its power to create a barrier. His barrier was still broken and most of his body was vaporized. "I... I wo..n't d...ie..." Hakudoushi weakly muttered out. He moved to lift his dropped possessions. But he was too weak. Kagome readied another arrow. Hakudoushi managed to grab hold of the Shikon no Tama and his spear as Kagome fired. More of his body was vaporized with this attack. Hakudoushi disappeared this time. "What did he leave?" Inuyasha cried out and searched the ground.
"My shard. It's right here." Kagome said.
"It's okay, he's gone." Kagome said.
Her friends and family stared. Her friends were visibly surprised by the entire experience. "Kagome... what is it you do with your time?" Eri asked.
"Kagome is just fulfilling her destiny. You see, the legend goes that..." Kagome's grandfather was about to explain.
"Well, what do we do now?" Kagome asked, completely ignoring her grandfather.
"Let's go back now. Hakudoushi will have regenerated, and who knows what Naraku is up to. Gramps, you explain what's going on to everyone." Inuyasha said as he picked up Kagome and ran back to the Well.
"Inuyasha... We need to talk." Kagome shyly whispered to Inuyasha.
"I'm sorry." Inuyasha quietly said as they reached the Well.
"Huh? But..." Kagome said with a sad look on her face.
"Can you just... give me a little more time? I know I kissed you but that was in the heat of the moment to stop Hakudoushi. I'm just not ready." Inuyasha said.
"I see..." Kagome weakly muttered.
"Kagome, we really don't have time for this anyway. What about the other shards? What about Kohaku?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Kagome said as the two went down the Well.
Climbing out of the Well, the two emerged to find their friends waiting for them. "That took awhile. Anything happen?" Miroku asked.
"Hakudoushi followed us. We sent him back to this realm." Inuyasha said.
As the group walked off, Kagome stopped. "What's wrong, Kagome-chan?" Sango asked.
"Inuyasha, can I talk to you alone over there?" Kagome asked, pointing to the Goshinboku.
"Sure. You guys stay here." Inuyasha insisted.
The two reached the Goshinboku and stood under it. "So, what's up?" Inuyasha asked.
"Close your eyes." Kagome said.
Inuyasha stood there with a perplexed look on his face. But he closed his eyes. A second later, he felt something pressed against his lips. He opened his eyes to find Kagome kissing him. Inuyasha closed his eyes again and just enjoyed the moment. They pulled away from each other.
"We didn't get to finish our kiss because of Hakudoushi. I just wanted to finish it." Kagome said with a slight smile on her face.
"Is this your way of telling me that you'll wait?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome nodded. "Of course. We've got to defeat Naraku right now. I just wanted... I just wanted to enjoy this." Kagome said with her smile widening.
And the two smiled as they rejoined the rest of the group. And though the battle against Naraku wasn't close to being finished, on this day Kagome felt as if the entire universe had come together and felt a great amount of satisfaction. The rest of the group didn't understand why Kagome looked so happy, but seeing her in such bright spirits cheered them up as well. The group set out and their journey continued.
The End
