WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

This is the very last chapter! I'm so sad!

(Sniffs)

This is the end of my very first Inuyasha romance fic! It's so sad! I feel so depressed!

(Suddenly has an idea)

Wait, that means I get to start a whole NEW Inuyasha romance fic!

Yay for romance fics!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter # 16

Miroku looked out the library window.

What a dark day.

"Hey." Arms wrapped around his middle, and Sango pecked his cheek. "What's with that face?"

"Inuyasha. Kagome." Miroku shook his head. "Need I say more?"

Sango grinned. "Well, who knows? It might turn out all right."

Miroku looked at her out of the corner of his eyes. "You know something."

"Yes. Yes I do." Sango hugged him tighter. "But I'm not going to tell you, unless you hold up your end of our deal."

Miroku raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Deal?"

"The bet," Sango sang. "Kagome said it herself: Inuyasha won. Now, you're going to take me out to dinner tonight—just as we agreed—and I'll tell you everything." She tweaked his ear impishly. "Inuyasha and Kagome might even join us." She winked. "And I gave Naraku a small call. Kikyo and him are getting together, and I was the one who extended the invitation."

Miroku grabbed her hands. "Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

"No, but I sure wouldn't mind hearing it."

And suddenly, Miroku's world was a whole lot brighter.

At School

Kikyo looked up at Naraku uncertainly.

"You sure it was Kagome who called us?" She frowned. "Why are we even here?"

"She said," Naraku growled, "that she wanted our help with revenge. There's only one person in the world she could possibly want revenge against, so of course we're going to help her."

"But why would she want our help? She's friends with Sango and Miroku."

Naraku snorted. "Friends. Right. She's just like everyone else: she sees an opportunity, so she's going to take it."

"Eh-hem." The two turned to come face-to-face with their principle. "I'd gotten a call saying vandals were coming here. Looks like my informant was correct."

"Informant?" Kikyo yelped.

"Yes. Strangest thing, too. Whoever it was wanted me to thank you for some revenge thing." He looked from Kikyo to Naraku. "Now, I'm going to have to ask the two of you to come to my office this moment."

Naraku lowered his head sullenly.

"Damn."

Outside a Donut Shop

It was raining, and that made Inuyasha feel better.

If he had to feel miserable, it was only right that nature felt that way too.

Inuyasha stared at the donut shop, and then walked inside.

The things that remind you of someone really are amazing.

Kagome.

Cinnamon donuts.

"Hey," the baker leaned on his counter. "May I help you?"

Inuyasha looked over the selections.

"Sure. I guess..." He smiled. "I guess I'll have a bag of cinnamon donuts." If he couldn't have Kagome, he could at least have her favorite snack food.

He sat just outside the bakery on one of the stone benches.

Was she still mad at him?

Even after everything that happened?

Even after he told her how he felt?

And that note?

Inuyasha opened the paper bag, and was hit with the smell of fresh donuts.

"You are going to share those, right?"

Inuyasha turned and saw a figure slowly walk across the street.

And she towards him.

Black hair messy from the rain, a yellow slicker and clunky boots, dirty clothing, and those wonderful shining eyes.

Beautiful.

He stood, and walked toward her.

They met in the middle of the street.

She raised an eyebrow. "So, do I get one of those donuts or what?"

Leaning over, he kissed her.

She smiled up into his face. "You know what? I think I prefer kisses to donuts anyway."

So in the middle of the street, in the middle of New York, in front of all the angry and swearing and honking drivers, Kagome and Inuyasha kissed again.

And again.

And again.

They only stopped when the traffic light changed colors.

Yeah, like that could keep them apart very long.

"I thought you were supposed to be in Chicago," Inuyasha whispered into her neck.

"Well, it would've been an awfully long ride, and I couldn't bear to leave my landlord."

Inuyasha smirked. "You're landlord. Right."

"Exactly. His name's Myouga."

Inuyasha lost his smirk. "You're serious."

She burst into laughter. "No."

"Is this like forever?" Inuyasha asked, suddenly very somber.

"For the rest of this year, and the rest of my senior year." Kagome shrugged. "I have to go back to Chicago for the summer, but other then that, yeah. This is forever."

And so they lived happily ever after.

Well...as happy as you can get with perverted and tree-hugging friends, a hyper little brother, a wise yet nosey landlord, and two very popular enemies.

Inuyasha wrinkled his nose. "We have a weird story."
Kagome tapped his forehead. "The point is: it's ours."

Inuyasha grinned. "True, I guess. It is our story."

"Yeah." Kagome buried her face into his shoulder. "Ours."

END

It's done! My beautiful fic is done!

And believe me, it's going to stay done.

I'm not exactly the sequel type, so please don't ask for one.

(Sighs)

Ain't fluff romantic?

I'd like to thank EVERYONE who reviewed this fic. I don't really feel like going through all those reviews and listing all the names, but YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Thanks.

Now, I can take a well-deserved rest and think up ideas for my next fic.

(Big grin)

Okay, any suggestions?

But first, here's a side story for all of you wonderful reviewers:

Shippou's Adventure at the Prom

Shippou looked around.

This was boring. A cute kid like him deserved so much better.

Then he spotted the refreshments table.

Bingo.

Stealthily sneaking around dancing couples, Shippou made his way to the table laden with heavenly-looking goodies and punch.

"Yo, it's a mini dude." A high schooler bent down and grinned at Shippou. "What's up little man?"

"The ceiling," Shippou said in a perfectly serious voice.

"Awww..." The boy's date bent down also, and began fussing over Shippou. "Aren't you just the most adorable little thing?" She fluffed up his hair with her fingers. "What's a little kid like you doing here?"

"I'm here with my date." Shippou turned and pointed at Kagome. "Her." The couple gave each other startled looks. "My brother's in love with her, but he's gay. At least that's what my other brother said. My other brother drove us here, but first he called Kagome a lady dog. I don't really know why he called her a lady dog, but she told him to do something with himself." He scratched his head. "I don't really get exactly what she said, but I knew it was bad 'cause he got all huffy and then went off."

The girl looked at Shippou in something close to astonishment. "Oh my..."

"But then Inuyasha—he's the gay brother who loves Kagome—his friend, Miroku, showed up with his date. They're supposed to be taking care of me right now, but they walked off. I think they're kissing behind a bush or something." Shippou nodded wisely. "Miroku's a pervert y'know."

By now the couple had started looking for authority figures. This kid was defiantly messed up. Who wouldn't be with a family like that?

So Shippou started back on his journey to the refreshments table.

"It's, like, a cute little kid!" some blond girl squealed. Then before Shippou could even scream for help, he was surrouned by a whole squad.

Of cheerleaders.

"He's, like, so tiny!"

"Look at those widdle fwuffy ears!"

"Goochy, goochy, goo!"

"Do you think he has parents?"

"What can, like, use him for our mascot!"

"Yeah!"

"HELP!"

Struggling wildly against the many manicured hands, Shippou tried in vain to free himself.

Walking by, Kagome frowned. Shippou was supposed to be her date.

"Ladies?" the cheerleaders faced Kagome. "There's a fifty-percent-off sale at the mall. Plus, buy one get one free at Pom-Poms R Us."

The cheerleaders all screamed in joy, and rushed off.

"Thanks Kagome."

"No problem Shippou. Save me a dance later?"

"Sure."

Watching Kagome walk off, Shippou decided that his brother fell in love with a very cool girl.

Then renewed hunger rumbled through his tiny stomach, and he again started on his way to the snack table.

Finally reaching it, he grabbed himself a plastic plate and began piling on food.

"Hey kid," a very sleazy looking boy hissed. "Try the punch." Then he walked off laughing.

Nodding innocently in agreement, Shippou poured himself a huge cup of punch, and started sipping it.

Hey, this stuff really wasn't all that bad...

Shippou then woke up to see Sango and Miroku hovering over him.

"What are we going to do? The kid's totally drunk."

Sango shook her head. "All we can do is clean him up, and hope Inuyasha doesn't kill us."

Miroku looked Shippou up and down. "Do you really think he'll even notice?"

A figure walked up behind the two, and Shippou could dimly make out silver hair. Probably Inuyasha.

"WHAT THE HELL?"

Yep, it definitely Inuyasha.

Later, on the ride home, Shippou decided that all in all, it had been a pretty nice dance.

Then again, it was probably the punch talking.

THE END (For real this time)

How was that?

I know it was kind of a sloppy little story, but I did it quickly 'cause I thought someone out there might like it.

Buh-bye for now!
