DEPTHS OF THE DAMNED
The Final Ending
-or-
Twister
Disclaimer: Do you seriously think I'd actually own them? Heck, I wish I did! Although it would be hard to take care of InuYasha... InuYasha: HEY! Me: No. Wait. Actually, that'd be... smacks Miroku You... Miroku: Eh-heh...w-why don't we just get on to the story? They don't need to know anything...
A/N: Okay, I seriously have major writer's block! Oh, and this is the very last chapter, too. I'm sorry it has to end! But I have a new IY story—"My Saviour, the Pirate". Hope you likies!
Sango awoke in Miroku's arms and smiled. Yesterday had been such a long day! And very traumatic, too. But at least everyone was well and safe. She looked over at Miroku—he was still sound asleep. The girl slowly arose from the couch and walked over to the kitchen. She was alarmed as the lights flickered on and was surprised to see a grinning Kagome holding a plate of pancakes. Behind her, InuYasha was slaving over the stove. InuYasha is making pancakes? Something's wrong here.
"Uh...Kagome-chan... Why are you and InuYasha in my kitchen?" she asked, not sure if she wanted to know the answer to that question or not.
"Um, actually, to tell the truth, I'm not so sure myself...I forgot." Kagome grinned and blushed a bright red. "Pancake?" She held out a pancake soaked in butter that was gripped in the pair of tongs she was holding. Sango's eyes widened and she shook her head.
"Butter is fattening. Maybe one that's not so buttery?" she asked hopefully. Kagome grinned again and chirped happily, "Coming right up!"
"Thanks, Kagome, but you don't have to..."
"Nonsense! I want to!" Kagome exclaimed as she danced around the kitchen as she gathered the pancake batter and tossed it to InuYasha, who was grumbling, obviously in a very bad mood.
Slowly, Sango crept out of the kitchen and dashed upstairs hurriedly.
Kagome turned around and saw Sango was gone. Suppressing a yawn, she shrugged her shoulders and headed to Miroku's living room.
"C'mon, Kagome, we're not going to make it! And tell InuYasha he better get down here now." Sango cried as she ran out the door. Kagome saluted and shouted at InuYasha. The hanyou poked his head around the corner and glared at her.
"I don't wanna come..." he said as he stubbornly crossed his arms and made a puppy dog pout.
"Well, fine then! I didn't think I'd have to resort to these..." she mumbled her last words and started rummaging through a pocket of her book bag lying around nearby. She glanced at her hanyou as she pulled out what looked like a rosary necklace. She muttered something and they quickly flew over to InuYasha's head and stuck themselves to InuYasha. He struggled as he pulled it off and glared at Kagome. She giggled.
"SIT." She said clearly and pointed a finger at him.
CRASH!!
"That's what you get for not listening to me. Now, come on. We don't want to be late!" Kagome mumbled as she looked at him behind her shoulder as she ran down the walkway.
The group piled into a small room and all flopped down in cushy chairs lining around a bed, which was centered in between their half-circle. In the bed, Kikyou lay there and stared at them all. She faltered a smile and stepped out of bed.
"I'm all better now, everyone. I'm so glad..." she looked over at Kagome. Kagome grinned.
"I'm sorry, Kikyou, about all our fights—" she started, but Kikyou held up a hand and walked over to Kagome and placed her hands on the schoolgirl's shoulders. She smiled softly into Kagome's face.
"No, Kagome, you shouldn't apologize. I can see why you probably never liked me." Kagome rolled her eyes jokingly. "I was a...witch... (To say it in polite terms) I never was trying at all to be nice to you. I was really rude to you and I wish I wasn't, because we could've been friends a long time earlier."
"Remember when we had kindergarten together? We were the best of friends, and then we met InuYasha," the two girls looked at him and he blushed, "and we stopped being friends in the beginning of high school or junior high or whatever." Kikyou nodded.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. We're friends again, aren't we?" Kagome asked cheerfully and wrapped her arm around Kikyou's neck.
"Friends." Kikyou agreed as she nodded her head.
"Awww...group hug!" Sango said as she jumped up and embraced her two friends. "Looks like this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!" She grinned at Kagome and Kikyou couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you guys gonna kiss or what?" InuYasha asked rudely. Kagome and Kikyou gave him a cold stare and he shrunk under their gaze. "Just don't mind me..." he whimpered and hid behind Miroku. "Those two...keep them away from me!! They'll murder me!! Did you see them glaring at me? It was pure evil!"
Miroku laughed.
InuYasha frowned and slunk away from the group and confined leaned back into one of the cushy chairs.
"Well, how long until you get to go home?" Sango and Kagome asked simultaneously.
"Today!" Kikyou answered.
"Really? I didn't think it'd be that soon!" Kagome said.
"It's been almost a month, Kagome. It's not that soon." Sango said and jokingly elbowed her. Kagome grinned sheepishly.
The gang helped Kikyou out the hospital and she decided to head home.
"Kikyou," Kagome called after her. "Are you sure you don't want us to take you home? I mean, what if something happens—"
"It's okay, Kagome-chan, I'm fine. See? I can walk now." Kikyou demonstrated the walking motion. "I'm heading home, which is not too far from here...well, see you later," Kikyou waved goodbye and left the group.
"C'mon, Kagome, let's go." InuYasha said impatiently. Kagome nodded and crawled on his back and took off running down the sidewalk.
"Wonder where they're going..." Sango thought aloud. She glanced at Miroku who had a lecherous look on his face. He tried to hide it from Sango, but she glared at him. "Eww! You pervert! That's not what they're doing!" she said shrilly at him.
"O-of c-course, what was I thinking?" Miroku said nervously and tried to pull his hand away from Sango's rear, but the thought tempted him even more. He could not resist the urge.
SLAP.
An unconscious Miroku lay sprawled on the ground and Sango dragged him home by his legs. She walked up to the front door and dropped Miroku once again on the ground as she rummaged for her keys. She pulled out a tiny silver key and shoved it into the keyhole and twisted it open. Miroku finally came to and groaned as he sat up.
"Sango, what...happened?" he moaned irritably.
"You copped a feel so I knocked you out." Sango growled and frowned at him. She crossed her arms and turned away from him.
"I'm sorry, Sango, I really am. I promise never to do it again." Miroku said angelically. Sango's face lightened and her eyes sparkled. She clasped her hands together and ran up to him.
"Do you really mean it, Miroku? You won't ever grope me again? Or any other girl?" she asked hopefully as she wrapped her arms around him and gave a quick peck on his cheek.
Miroku didn't answer, only smiled.
"You promise?"
Miroku looked away as he still smiled a little.
Sango sighed. 'He probably will.'
"Let's go inside, Sango." Miroku said and surprised her as he picked her up bridal-style and went inside the house with her. Sango blushed uncontrollably and placed her hands on her face to hide her reddening cheeks.
People outside the house could hear Miroku exclaiming loudly, "Who wants to play TWISTER??" Then Sango's reply, "Miroku, you only like that game because you end up on top of me! You stupid pervert! AHH! Get away from me! Noooooooo! I won't! I won't! I won't play that game! Nooo!" Then a few seconds of silence, "Fine, then, since I have no choice..." "All right! Okay, right hand red...........left foot yellow...." "Ah, oh no!" "I'll help you, Sango..." "...Don't touch me there!" "Eh-heh..."
Kagome and InuYasha turned away from their friends' house and grinned at each other.
"How long do you think it'll last?" Kagome asked mischievously.
"Knowing Miroku, a very long time..." InuYasha answered with an evil glint in his eye.
"I almost feel sorry for Sango-chan..." Kagome said quietly and glanced back at the house.
"Yeah, me too..." InuYasha agreed. He caught Kagome and grinned at her. "Who wants to play Twister?"
"InuYasha! No! Get away! Ahhhh!" And so a hanyou ran on four legs after the schoolgirl running the fastest she ever could. Eventually, he caught her in the end. And they joined Sango and Miroku in their little game of Twister. One game they would never forget.
