Elanif: Finale Spelled Backwards!
"ALL RIGHT! LET'S GO KICK SOME HALF-DEMON ASS!" Inuyasha cheered, running out the door.
Kei sweatdropped and asked," He doesn't remember that he's a half-demon, too, does he?"
Sesshomaru blandly cut in," He's always been like that, ever since childhood." He smirked as he remembered "the good old days".
*Flashback*
"Look at me! I can FLY, just like Daddy and Oniisan!" yelled a six year old Inuyasha as he stood on the roof of a shed, ready to jump.
"No son, don't do it, half-demons can't fly!" yelled his mother, helpless on the ground.
Inuyasha jumped, flapping his arms in a vain attempt to float, while shrieking," I CAN SEE OUR HOUSE FROM HEREEEEEEEE-"
*Back to now*
As Sesshomaru snickered, Kagome slowly backed away from the weird demon lord and thought, what's his problem?
Suddenly, Shippo pointed at the formerly enchanted brothers on the ground of the cabin and asked," What are we gonna do with those guys?"
Kagome said," Oh yeah, I completely forgot about them! We can't just leave them here, though, but we can't exactly take them with us……"
Kei suggested," Maybe we could drop them off at a nearby village?"
Sesshomaru slyly hinted," I may have a solution to that….." and he whistled. Almost immediately, a pack of wild dogs charged into the cabin. The demon lord pointed at the unconscious men and said," Chow time." The dogs charged the men and started to knaw at them. Sesshomaru nonchalantly strode out the door while saying," There, problem solved. Let's go."
Scared out of their wits and trying to ignore the sounds of ripping flesh, Kagome, Sango, Kei and Shippo scurried out of the cabin and after Sesshomaru and the long-gone Inuyasha.
********
Miroku frowned, as he tried to think up a strategy. This one moment decided everything, and if he screwed up, then all would be lost……. He made his move.
"Full house," he said smugly, putting down his cards.
The stoic girl across the table didn't even flinch. She carefully put down her cards and said calmly," Royal flush." She then gathered up all the cash on the table.
Miroku sighed and thought, Damn, that Rin is the best poker player I've ever seen!
**********
Kagura stood before Naraku and asked," What did you summon me for?"
Naraku coldly smirked as he said," Now that I have the Shikon-no-Tama in its entirety, I have no use for the half-breed, the exterminator, or the miko."
Kagura sinisterly smiled as she inquired," So you wish for me to dispose of them?"
Naraku shook his head and told her," Bring them to me."
*********
"-and so, that's what Fushigi Yugi is all about." Kagome finished.
Sango hesitantly said," I guess it sounds interesting enough, but-"
Kei joyfully burst," GET ME THOSE BOOKS, OKAY KAG-CHAN?"
Shippo tauntingly sang," Kag-chan, Kag-chan, Kag-chan!"
Kagome huffed," Oh, shut up, Shippy-chan."
Sesshomaru, astonished, looked at Shippo and asked," You're going to let her get away with that? YOU, a full demon?" Kagome gulped as Shippo rubbed his chin thoughtfully. A gust of wind brought everybody back to earth.
"It's a bird!" yelled Shippo.
"It's a plane!" insisted Kagome.
"What's a plane?" Inuyasha confusedly asked.
Sesshomaru hit himself at their stupidity while Sango shouted," No, it's Kagura!"
"Ooooh" said Kagome.
"That makes sense," added Shippo, nodding his head.
Suddenly, Kei burst out laughing. Everybody looked at the crossdresser weirdly and looked to see what he was so amused at. Seeing the object of his mirth, they all started laughing too.
Still laughing, Sango gasped out," K-Ka-Kagura's-"
"WI-WI-WIND SURFING!" finished Kagome.
Inuyasha, recovering quickly, ran after Kagura as she steered her feather away from the group.
"After that bimbo!" cried Kei, as they all started chasing the runaway spawn of Naraku.
Inwardly, as she tried to keep her balance on her makeshift surfboard, Kagura sneered, What fools…..
******
The Inu-gumi reached the castle stronghold that Naraku had kept as his secret base of operations. Trying to catch their breath, they searched the skies for Kagura who had somehow gone MIA.
Kagome gasped," I sense the Shikon-no-Tama! This must be Naraku's lair!"
Suddenly, Sango noticed a figure running from the castle. Is that…..it can't be…..but……OH MY GOD, IT IS HIM!
*****
Miroku panted, as he tried to keep up his pace. Almost out….. He couldn't let Rin's sacrifice go to waste!
*Flashback*
"What?!" Miroku asked, shocked.
"I'm letting you go." Rin affirmed.
"But…..why?" Miroku wondered.
Rin looked at the ground and said," You don't belong here…….your heart lies somewhere else…….."
"Rin-san…."
"Naraku will kill me, but as long as you're safe and happy, then so will I be." The girl unlocked the door. "Go now." Miroku flashed her one last smile and took off running, not looking back.
*Now*
Miroku saw a group of people a bit off. He focused in on one person with a large boomerang on their back. Sango……..
"HOUSHI-SAMA!" he heard her yell. Despite himself, he grinned. Miroku sprinted up to the group, and bent over, trying to catch his breath but was tackled by Sango, who was now sobbing into his shoulder.
"There, there, Sango-chan, I'm alright…." He reassured her.
She looked up at him, tears still in her eyes as she sniffled. She smiled at him and said," I'm so glad you're back, Houshi-sama."
Kei boo'ed," Damn it, just kiss already!"
Sesshomaru agreed," We have more important matters to attend to, so get on with it!" Sango and Miroku simultaneously blushed.
Inuyasha shouted," Aw, to hell with it!" and clomped their heads together, making their lips meet in a kiss.
*Five Minutes Later*
Shippo yawned," Are they done making out YET?!"
Kagome answered," Let me check…….nope, still going at it."
Inuyasha sulked," If I had known they would take this long, then I wouldn't have made them kiss. Feh."
Miroku was in heaven…….he was kissing his angel!-and she wasn't pulling away!-nope, definitely NOT pulling away……
The couple (finally!) pulled apart and stared in eachothers' eyes.
Sango, happily crying, said," I love you, Houshi-sama. Even if we're apart, even if you're gay"- Miroku sweatdropped at that-" my heart will always beat only for you. Aishteru zutto."
Miroku serenely smiled and murmured," Sango, it's always been you, only you. At first I tried to deny it, telling myself that you would never love me or that I would only put you in danger or hurt you, but I can't stop myself from loving you. And after you told me that you "knew" I was gay, I've been trying to prove that I wasn't and that it was only you I wanted, but it somehow always came out wrong. Aishteru zutto, koi."
"Houshi-sama…." Sango whispered.
Miroku chuckled," Sango-koi, please, call me by my name, I hate it when you say "Houshi-sama". It makes me feel old!"
"Are you two done yet?!" Inuyasha complained. The couple blushed as they realized that they had had an audience. Kagome gave Sango a cheeky grin while Kei gave them a thumbs up. Even Sesshomaru joined in making fun of them, with his back turned and arms around himself, looking like he was making out with someone while he was saying," Oh Miroku……..Oh Sango….."
"And here I was worried about you idiots destroying my plans……I now see that you're nothing more than a group of fools," said a cold voice.
"NARAKU!" shouted Shippo.
"Crap! He really IS getting sneaky!" yelled Inuyasha.
Miroku quickly placed Sango behind him and glared at Naraku. Sango's heart beat quicker as she thought, Miroku…..
Naraku gloated," Now that I have the Shikon-no-Tama, I am invincible!"
Shippo cried," NOT WHILE I'M ALIVE, YOU BITCH!"
Everybody facefaulted while Naraku screeched," I'M A MAN, YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A FOX DEMON!!!"
Shippo turned to Kei and asked," Is she telling the truth?"
Kei, trying to hold back his laughter, said," Yes, HE is telling the truth." He flipped back his hair and said," Truly, he is not as beautiful as I, but he IS considered a bishonen."
Naraku disgustedly said," I AM THE ONLY BISHONEN HERE!"
Sesshomaru gave him a glare that would have made Satan cry for his mommy and asked," Are you forgetting someone? For I, Sesshomaru, am the only TRUE bishonen here, you wannabe demon!"
Naraku burst into tears and yelled," KIKYOOOOOOO!!!!! THEY'RE MAKING FUN OF MEEEEEEEEE!!!" Kikyo suddenly "poofed" to the scene in a flash of horrible-smelling pink smoke. Inuyasha, seeing his former love, ran to her side.
Kagome called," INUYASHA!!!" Then she remorsefully said," I knew this would happen! Why…….why………" she threw her hands up to the air," WHY DIDN'T I BREAK HIS LEGS?!"
Upon reaching Kikyo, Inuyasha tried to screech to a halt, but ended up accidentally stabbing her with his claws, his hand protruding from the other side of her stomach. Kikyo's eyes bulged out in shock.
"Whoops! Oh no, whatever have I done? Forgive me, Kiki-poo? Aw, thanks honey!" And with that sarcastic remark being over and done with, Inuyasha sent Kikyo to her final rest. (A/N: YAY!) Inuyasha turned to the astonished Naraku and said," Kikyo would NEVER, EVER have agreed to be your servant, she was too good for that! The only reason she allowed herself to be manipulated by you was because her soul was warped by hatred! Now that she's no longer trapped within that clay sham of a body, she can rest peacefully in the afterlife. I swore to her that I would avenge her, and now I'll live up to that promise!"
Naraku squeaked," Crap!"
Inuyasha cracked his knuckles and chuckled," I'm going to enjoy this….." Out of the blue, Naraku teleported over to Kagome and held his claws to her neck, obviously warning everyone that if they made one wrong move, that she would get it.
"What now?" Naraku sneered. "Choose now what's more important: this girl's life, or revenge for Kikyo?"
Inuyasha inwardly thought, Crap! How dare he get Kagome mixed up in this! Of COURSE I can't let her die, I lo-
Inuyasha's inner musings were interrupted by Miroku yelling," WIND TUNNEL!"
Naraku, releasing Kagome in his surprise, yelled," What the fuck?!"………and that was the last thing ever heard from him before he was sucked into Miroku's hell-hole.
Shippo said," Wow."
Kei replied," Yeah, you said it."
Kagome fell to the floor, gasping for breath as she tried to regain her composure.
Sesshomaru complained," How anti-climatic."
"I agree, Sesshomaru-sama." Said a familiar cold voice.
"AAAHHHH!" yelled Shippo, Sango, Kagome, and Miroku in shock. Sesshomaru, unfazed, hugged the goth girl that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Rin, are you unhurt?" inquired Sesshomaru.
Rin smiled and said," Yes, Sesshomaru-sama. Let us go home now."
As the girl and her surrogate father walked off, Kei shivered and said," Geez, was she creepy or what?"
Shippo commented," What I don't get is how she got to be so gothic. She used to be such a sweet, innocent girl…."
Miroku snorted and said," Yeah, and she was my roommate."
"Aw, poor Miroku," teased Sango.
By now Kagome had joined Inuyasha. Inuyasha calmly said," Kagome….. Naraku had the jewel on him, right?"
Kagome nodded and said," Yes, Miroku sucked the jewel up along with Naraku. I'm sorry, Inuyasha, now you can't become a full-demon."
Inuyasha enigmatically smiled at her and said," You know what Kagome? Somehow, I think that it's alright……"
And somehow, Inuyasha was right………
********************THE END***********************
EPILOUGE:
And so, now that Miroku had convinced Sango that he wasn't gay and that he loved her, they almost immediately got married. However, not a day went by that she didn't have to smack him for his perversity.
After hearing about the magical well that connected Kagome's time and his own, Kei wanted to build a shrine to honor the "holy place". It would be passed down to his children's children's children, and eventually become the Hiragashi Shrine. And since it was forbidden for priests to crossdress, he finally donned men's clothing and acted like his true gender.
After a few years of living in her time and visiting the Sengoku Jidai, Kagome finally told Inuyasha that she had to go away for college. Finally confessing that he loved her, Inuyasha promised to wait for her and prepare a home for the both of them and their adopted son, Shippo.
They all had their happy days, sad days, and weeks of PMS, but they all more or less lived happily ever after.
