Disclaimer: Yeah. I know. Inuyasha's not mine. Don't rub it in, you
bastards! So I don't own my Sesshomaru, so shut up!
Sesshomaru: Are you done now?
Reaka: Yes. I am.
Sesshomaru: I'll still go out with you anyway.
Reaka: You will?
Sesshomaru: Yes, I will. Just tell me when and where.
Reaka: Wherever whenever you like. Hehehehehe!
Sesshomaru: Good.
Reaka: Now that I've got a date, I'll tell you guys the other stuff you know. This is the final chapter of Too Late! (softly crying to self). I can't believe it! I've come so far only to end it so soon! It's such a shame. Oh well. You know the thought drill. So here it is!
Sesshomaru: Since she forgot, I'll thank the reviewers. Thank you for your kind reviews! She really enjoyed them. And she's happy. Now we can start and end the chapter and the story, Too Late.
Chapter 12 – Decision
Throughout the night, Kagome sat at her bed, gazing at the sky.
/It's the night of the new moon. You would've been fully human tonight./
The stars twinkled in the night. Kagome looked at them more closely and realized they seemed to form Inuyasha. It was a night she would never forget. She lay back in her bed and gazed at the stars until she fell asleep.
Sesshomaru had trouble sleeping as well. He sat in his room thinking about nothing but his dead brother. The memories were flooding back to him.
[To think all of those times I'd been so cruel to him just because he was half demon. All those times I'd tried to kill him. What if he'd lived and I did kill him? Would I've felt as I do now? Would I have felt remorse if I killed him with my own hands?]
Rin lay asleep on the floor a little way from him. She was afraid to sleep in her own room after what she'd been through, and Sesshomaru let her stay for the night. He looked at her sleeping form.
[Why is it that I could feel some kind of kindness for this little, human girl, but I could never feel the same kind of warmth for my half-demon brother?]
He laid back, lost in his own thoughts. When he looked up, he saw the stars and how they took the shape of his younger brother. Holding back tears, he stared back in amazement.
[It's as if he's being honored somehow.]
He turned over to his side and fell asleep.
(Next Morning)
He woke up before the little girl. Quietly, he left the room and went to Kagome's room. He was curious on whether or not the girl was awake. She was still sleeping when the demon walked in. He gently shook her awake.
"Sesshomaru? What is it?"
"Did you see the stars last night?"
"Yes. Why?"
"I was just wondering."
/You want to ask more. What are you so hesitant about?/
"Sesshomaru, you remember how I told you about the well that takes me from here to my home?"
"Yes."
"Will you take me there?"
"But you're not fully healed yet. It wouldn't be wise to take you now."
"Please. I can't stand being here without Inuyasha."
"You really miss him, don't you?"
Kagome nodded.
"Three days. We'll leave then."
"Why not now?"
"Because, like I said, you're not fully healed."
He left her without another word. Once he left, Kagome pulled out the now fully formed jewel from her pocket.
/This jewel will not bring any more evil into the earth. I'll take it with me when I go home. It's the best way./
Three days had passed, and Sesshomaru woke Kagome early in the morning. She seemed to look better than she did when he had found her.
"Can you walk on your own?"
"I haven't even tried."
"Well, we shall see."
Kagome got out of her bed. Once she did, she fell on the ground. She pulled herself to a sitting position and looked at Sesshomaru.
"Looks like we'll have to take Ah-Un."
He took her arm and helped her up. She held on to it as the two of them walked to the two-headed dragon. Sesshomaru picked up Kagome and put her on the dragon then got on himself.
"Hold on to me, and you won't fall off."
Kagome did as she was told, and the dragon was soon off. The ride was silent. Sesshomaru seemed to know where the well was, so Kagome didn't have to give him any directions.
/This'll be my last time going through the well. Inuyasha, you said you'd follow me wherever I went. So, I hope you don't go back on your word./
Kagome remembered Inuyasha showing up last night. She remembered those last words he said to her and smiled.
"I'll always be with you. Wherever you decide to go."
She felt a small tear escape her eye and wiped it away. She looked up at Sesshomaru, but he wasn't holding her. She soon found herself in the arms of Inuyasha.
Reaka: There you have it. It's finished. I wonder if I made anybody cry?
Inuyasha: (crying). Wow! Here I was, thinking you were going to kill more! You ended it like that?
Reaka: I actually was debating over whether or not to kill Kagome. You see the result to that.
Naraku: Reaka, since you're no longer writing chapters for this, now's my time to kill you!
Rin: No it isn't!
Reese: Not while we're around!
Rin: You killed both our pretties!
Reese: So now, we'll kill you!
(Rin and Reese poke him with stick until Naraku dies...again.)
Pissed off fans: There's Reaka! She's the one that killed everybody!
Reaka: No I didn't! It was all Naraku! All him! But...Rin and Reese poked him with a stick. Now he's dead...again.
Pissed off Fans: That's not gonna stop us from killing you! ATTACK!!!
Reaka: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! RIN! REESE! HELP! THEY'RE ATTACKING ME!
Rin: Ehhh! I don't wanna!
Reese: We're too lazy!
Inuyasha: (laughs so hard he pees himself).
Sesshomaru: (observing but not saving Reaka). Review for her, will you? And please rate the story. Tell her how she did. Did it turn out to be a really good story, despite the killing and the blood, or did it turn out to royally suck. Please review and let her know. Until the next Inuyasha story pops into her mind. I'll see you later!
Sesshomaru: Are you done now?
Reaka: Yes. I am.
Sesshomaru: I'll still go out with you anyway.

Sesshomaru: Yes, I will. Just tell me when and where.
