SO MANY REVIEWS!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!! OH KAMI!!! WEEE, YAAAAAAY!!!! OVER 200!!!!! WEEEEEWEEEEEEEEEEWEWRD.FSKEGRFJWUH GTWERUIUKRHGWEKRJGH …

Must… breath… now…

Tis the last chapter of this fiction, so grab some popcorn or something. This is loooooooooong. But no worries, the sequel's idea has been finalized, and I am already starting on the first chappie of it : )

Now, many of you have been calling for armloads of fluff. Now, I am adding as much fluff as the plot will allow, so grab a box of tissues. Not to mention all of the insanity between all of it, so grab… something… uh… anti-psychotics?… I could use some… or Felix73... I know Naena does…

Felix73 - HEY!!!!!!!!

And don't forget, if you are still confused on some things when this is over, than email or review the confusions (ABOUT THE PLOT, NOT WRITING!! I'm sorry if I get a little confusing sometimes when I write, but hey, I can't help it.) to me.

(sry for so long to update, but this took forever to write, and I only posted it when I had the first chappie of the next fic done)

Disclaimer - (Now then! Where were we? Oh yes! Last chapter! That in itself deserves many a tear! But never fear! So long as we keep the cops and lawyers away, disclaimer will be here! Now then, as I was saying…)

Shippou- Surrender or stay squirrels?!

Love Music- Exactly!

Inuyasha- No damn way!

Kagome-(picks up Inuyasha squirrel by nape of neck and glares at him) Oh? Is that so?

Inuyasha- Uh…

Kagome- Sit, boy!!! (forgets to let go of Inuyasha, goes flying into the ground with him)

Inuyasha- Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Kagome-(glowers at Inuyasha, lets go of him) Inuyasha…sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit! sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!sit!SIT!!!!

Alas, the poor squirrel known as Inuyasha…

Kagome-(gets up) Serves you right!

Felix- Can I torture them now?

Stalking Chicken- Since we are still technically at war, most certainly!

Guy team looks at Felix, each other, and understandably start to run away.

Shard- Oh, no ya don't! (cage springs out of nowhere around the squirrels)

Sango- Now where were we?

Sangarouka- I know! Pick me!

Ayame- (takes out the reverse-transformation acorns) Say it! Or else…(motions to Felix, who has again found a nutcracker and is chasing Kamiko-Zephuru around with it)

Sesshomaru- I surrender!

Felix-What?! No!! Wilson the third didn't get to play!!!

Naraku- Me, too!

Guy team surrenders. Except Inuyasha, no surprise. He's the last one that's still a squirrel.

Kagura- What a shame. We were going to have such a blast celebrating the end of this disclaimer and the start of another.

Inuyasha- Feh.

KungPowKitty- Your loss!

Inuyasha- Huh?

Kagome- We were going to have so much of that Ramen stuff you like to help celebrate. Oh, well, more for us!

Inuyasha- Eeeehhhhhhh?!????!?!?!!!???????

KungPowKitty- Aww, looks like puppy dog is not happy about this.

Inuyasha- But…but…but…

Love Music- Very good. You have mastered the first word of conjugation. Now try saying "and."

Felix- (approaches with Wilson) Hehehehehhehehehehhehe!!!!!!!!

----- - -- - later ----- - ------

We're at some random field, and it's night time. Somehow, there's a stereo blasting Good Days by Zone (you may thank K-Z for the musical input here). Aaaaaaaaaannnnndddddd…

Miroku and Sango are dancing, and for once, our favorite lecher is behaving himself. I believe a pat on the back is in order!

Shippou and Rin are running around in the playful manner children do. How cute!!!!

"Auntie" Martha has sprung outta jail and is teaching Sota how to cook quiche.

Martha Stewart- Much better job, little boy! Now let's learn how to turn this (picks up 18-wheeler in left hand) into a gorgeous centerpiece for your table this year!

Sota-Someone help me.

Ayame is repeatedly 'rolling over' Kouga for once again doing his "KAGOME MY GIRL!!!!!!" routine. Let's get a round of applause for Ayame!

Kouga- OW!!!! Stop it!!! That's the fifteenth time!!!!

Ayame- And I'm going to continue until you have ROLL-OVER(flip thud)-ed as many times as you have done that!!! ROLL OVER!!!!!

Kouga- AAAIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Kagura has employed KPK. You see, KPK is beating Naraku over the head with her frying pan.

Naraku- Ow ow ow ow ow ow owowowowowow!!!!! Knock it off!!!!

KPK- Not until she pays me!

Kagura- And that may take a while.

Sangarouka and Morobuku hold onto each other in fear as they are strapped into the passenger seats of a car being driven by Hakaku! For good reason, obviously! Hey, wait, when'd he get here?!

And lastly…Inuyasha has been turned into a human again…however, he hasn't surrendered exactly, SO, yeah. He is caged with a sugar-substituted Felix equipped with Wilson the nutcracker among other things. But that's not what really has his boxers in a bunch. (Bwa hahahhahahahhaahahha!)

Inuyasha-(running in circles from Felix in his cage) Sesshomaru, you bastard!!!!!!

Kagome- (is dancing with Sesshy. Oh yeah! Am I bad? And no, oh weird-thinking people, this is not a romantic thing happening here.) Hmph! Call it pay back

Inuyasha- FOR WHAT?!?!?!!!

Kagome- (still dancing, pretending not to care) haven't decided yet

Sesshy- (is, um, a pathetic dancer in that he doesn't understand dancing. Yeah, he's trying to mimic Kagome, which isn't doing so well) May I have more soda, please?

Kamiko-Zephuru, who is dancing nearby- ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!

Sesshy is sad. Boo hoo

Kagome- If you didn't want me dancing with someone else, you should have surrendered

Inuyasha- Feh. Like I care

Kagome- SIT!!!!!

KPK-(comes up, whaps Inuyasha in head with frying pan)

Sango- (hits him in head with Hirikutsu thing)

Are we getting the idea? Each person present beats up Inuyasha in their own personal way.

Inuyasha-(has many bumps on head, one in particular is about the same size as Tetsusaiga) erp… That's…nothing

All- SIT, INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(because we're starting a new story (NOT SERIES) now, this is the last of the Boys vs. Girls war. Yep, all done. But what will be the theme next time? Oh the possibilities!)

CHAPTER 30 - Stay with You

Kagome ran up the stair and began to un-duct-tape her door. Soon after Inuyasha had fallen through the roof, sounds of utter destruction were easily heard (by her neighbors). "INUYASHA?! NAENA?!"

BANG, CLAMER, BOOM, SHATTER, SHHHHHIIIIIIIK… silence.

"Huh?" she pulled of the last strand of the gray sticky stuff, and bolted into the room. Inuyasha had tied up Naena with what was left of Kagome's bedspread. "INUYASHA!!!!! THAT WAS MY BED!!!!! SIT, BOY!!!!!"

Thud.

"BWEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEhehehehehe…" Naena stopped shivering in place. "Oh shit, I knew I shouldn't of had that mountain dew…"

Kagome thwacked her forehead. "Ugh… I think we will be keeping you out of the reach of caffeine and sugar…" Kagome said, walking over and untying the green haired boy. Inuyasha began to pry himself off of the ground. "What did you do that for?!"

"ugh..."

- -time skip- -

Shippou took hold of another bit of oden from the simmering pot. "This is real good, Kagome!"

She smiled, putting another bit of oden into her own mouth. 'Mmmm… oden, oden, oden, oden, oden… hmm?' Inuyasha was staring right at her. She stared right back until she could feel the blush boiling up, and turned back to her food.

'Tonight… yeah, I'll do it tonight…I think…' Morobuku waved his hand in front of Inuyasha's face. "Wake up call…"

"Huh? Oh… What do you want?"

"Could you pass the ika sashimi, please?"

"Here."

"Arigato…" Morobuku looked at his dog-eared friend, for who was back to staring at Kagome. 'I wonder…'

Ding-dong.

Kagome stood up, and went for the door. "Who the hell would be coming over right now…?"

She opened the door a crack before it burst open. Eri grabbed onto her friend and pinned her to the wall. "HOW COULD YOU TELL HIM I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM?! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!!" then she started to hug Kagome. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SET ME UP WITH A DATE!!! YOU ARE THE BEST BEST-FRIEND EVER!!!!!!"

Kagome was completely confused.

Eri grabbed hold of her neck. "HOW!?!?! WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL HIM?!? YOU-"

Hugging.

"-ABSOLUTLY AWESOME PERSON!!!! I'M GOING TO THE MOVIES WITH THE HOJO!!"

Kagome heard Inuyasha growl.

"YOU WRECTH, NIRVANALY, DISGUSTING, WONDERFUL PERSON!!!!!! YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK!!!!" Eri let go of her friend, ran back out the door and slammed the door. Kagome sat there on the floor, bug eyed, and as confused as ever. "What in the…?"

- -place skip, time skip (backwards) - -

Naraku grinned upon coming to the wolf demons and such. He jumped down to the ground, followed by Kagura and Kanna.

"I believe you said Inuyasha and his comrades were here…"

"They were," Kagura lied. "I suppose they went elsewhere. Shall I go look for them?"

"No you shall not. Kanna, go search for Inuyasha and the others." The white haired girl walked away to the forest. Only in the safety of the trees and the bush did she turn around, and look onward at the wonderful happening to come.

"Well, anyway… wolf demons and etcetera… prepare to die…" Naraku opened up his kimono, sending forth hundreds of appendages. Zephuru called forth his staff of wind, and sent a slice of bluster through the disgusting limbs. Kouga ran out of the way here and there, dodging the planned out attacks Kagura was doing.

"Boy of wind, do you really think you can beat me that way?" He sent all of his appendages at Zephuru, who grinned. ZIP!

"Yep." Zephuru said from right behind Naraku. The hell man turned around in surprise, and suddenly felt the boys arms grab onto his neck. "NOW!!!"

Ayame stood up and yelled, " FLY!!!"

Zephuru and Naraku went soaring up through the atmosphere, passing clouds here and there. Naraku was petrified. 'It's like they planned all of this! And how can this boy stay so calm away from the ground?!'

Zephuru let go of the demon man.

Naraku fell down to the ground, making a large imprint of himself in the field. Within a few seconds, Zephuru landed in the ground, but he had been protected by the magic of the rosary. Since the fly command was meant as something to stop a being from doing something, and not stop their heart, Zephuru was bruised and dirty, but otherwise fine. Naraku on the other hand could feel all of his bone crushed.

Kanna walked out from the forest and join Kagura in slicing off the demon man's wrists. Thus, the orbs that were their hearts floated up from the ground, and entered their bodies. Ayame took out a piece of parchment. "Steps one and two done…"

Kagura put her hand to her chest, and felt the heart beat. "I'm finally free…" she glared at the scowering man before her. "Go ahead, Kaede."

The miko placed her hands together, and the rosary began to glow. Within seconds, the beads went straight for Naraku, and appeared around his neck. By this time, his bones were already beginning to push back together. He grabbed hold of the necklace now upon him. "What the shit is this?!"

"Kagura, say the word."

The woman of the wind grinned sadistically. "Naraku…"

He began to curse at her.

"Dissolve."

The beads began to glow, and Naraku could no longer feel his feet. Then his legs, all of his appendages, and began to loose feeling of his torso. He looked over his shoulder, and saw his body rapidly evaporating. For the first time ever, Naraku felt impending terror.

Everyone looked on with no remorse as the last bit of Naraku turned into dust, being picked up by the wind and flying up into the sky.

"He's finally gone…" Kanna said, dropping her mirror. She slammed her foot onto it, causing it to shatter and then vaporize. Kagura did as well with her sword and fan, each vanishing on impact.

Ayame rose up her hand.

Kouga looked at her, annoyed. "What do you want?"

"Why didn't we do that in the first place?"

- -time, place skip- -

Ms. Higurashi watched the television with interest. The news reporter changed subject. "There have been no leads so far in either who the man ran over with a vehicle or who killed him two weeks ago before the storm. Officials say that they have been working endlessly on this case, but have been unable to get any leads. If you have any information, please call the number on the bottom of the screen…"

She sighed. 'I feel like this applies to me somehow… but I can't figure it out…' (A/N - I feel so sry for her. She doesn't even know her husband's dead.)

She looked out the window at the fading sun. "Hmmm… It's so pretty…"

Sangarouka looked up from the math text book and looked out the window. "Yeah…"

Kagome walked down the stairs, utterly exhausted. "Whew, I hate homework…"

"Where's Inuyasha?"

"He's still up in Sota's room doing homework… and avoiding grandpa's spirit wards…"

Ms. Higurashi chuckled a little before getting up and going into the kitchen. Straight for the coffee cups. "WEEEEEEBWEHEHEHE!!!"

"Kagome, your mother's mental."

"Think I haven't figured that out yet?" The young miko plopped down on the couch, and changed the channel. 'Boooooooring…'

Blip!

"Another boring channel…"

Blip!

"Infomercial."

Blip!

Blip!

"Yuck, baseball."

Blip!

Blip!

Blip!

"Erg…"

Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip, Blip!!

"There is nothing good on any of the 150 channels?!"

"Uh, konichiwa! It's cable, good stuff only comes on late at night on Spike TV…" Miroku said, coming in from the outside.

Sango glared at the houshi. "And what would that be prey t-"

Rub, Rub.

SLAP!!!!

And down went the unconscious monk.

Sangarouka applauded. Thus was followed by Kagome's mother jumping into the room, apron on, and twirling around like a ballerina. "PIYO, PIYO!!!"

The three girls in the room dropped their jaws, completely bug eyed.

Kagome heard the door of her younger brother's door slam. "Inuyasha's done." Within thirty seconds the hanyou was in the room, avoiding the possessed mother swinging around a cooking spoon. "She got extra caffinated again, didn't she?"

"Yep."

"Grr… this gets really annoying…" Inuyasha ducked the wooden spoon Ms. Higurashi had in hand, which was being lunged around like a baton. He walked over to Kagome, and grabbed her wrist. "Come 'ere."

"Inuyasha, what are y-"

"Just come."

Sango and Sangarouka got out of their seats and began to follow Inuyasha and Kagome outside. The hanyou turned around. "NOT YOU TWO!!!" and BOOT!! The two girls have now been kicked back inside. "Inuyasha!! That wasn't very nice!!"

"Whatever, just follow me…" The miko did as told.

- - - -

However, Sango, Sangarouka, and Kagome's mother were feeling mischievous. "So… what now?"

"Simple, we go up to Kagome's room, break out all of that Spy Listen-in-on-Conversation Plus! stuff, and listen in…"

"Ms. Higurashi, you rock."

"No, I'm HYPER ACTIVE!!! TO KAGOME'S ROOM!!!"

They ran up the stairs.

- - - -

Inuyasha tugged Kagome behind him, and down the stairs of the shrine entrance. "Inuyasha!! What are you doing?!"

"You'll see."

'I'm getting bad feelings from this… I think…' Kagome continued on behind the hanyou. He seemed to know precisely where to go, whether it be down the sidewalk of the street or climbing over dumpsters to get to the other side of a wall.

Kagome spat out yet another banana peel from her mouth. "Inuyasha, where are y-"

"We're here."

"Huh?" Kagome looked out in front of her, watching Inuyasha turn a corner of the sidewalk. 'What in the world is he up to?!'

She followed him around the corner, and found herself standing at the entrance to the 'No Development' zone of Tokyo bay, with the sun setting in the distance. The miko felt her heart accelerate extremely, and barely held onto her breath once the hanyou took hold of her again. This time, however, he held it gently, almost… 'sweetly…'

'Thank Kami no one else is here…' the hanyou thought, guiding Kagome off of the pavement and onto the beach. Once he got to the entrance to the water, he pulled Kagome closer to him, not letting go of her hand. The two walked slowly down the shore, each of their hearts pounding loudly.

"Inuyasha…"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you bring me here?"

"For one thing, so that your mother, Sango, and Sanga couldn't listen into our conversation (He has sensitive hearing, remember.), and…

"And…?"

The hanyou sat down on the sand, and pulled Kagome down with him. Before she was able to do anything else, Inuyasha pulled out a long, rectangular box out of his jeans pocket. "t-to give you th-this…"

Kagome gulped. Her heart was already racing in the heart rate Olympics, but her breath kept on getting caught in her throat. "I-Inuyasha…"

"Open it."

She began to undo the bow on top, scooting closer to Inuyasha for warmth. Remember, it is November there.

Kagome pulled off the top, and almost fainted. Within the cardboard container was a single strand bracelet made of tanzanite ( look it up under images of google. It is really pretty) orbs, every now and then a silver bead in between. At the very end of the string thing, there was a small red tassel attached.

"Inuyasha, how could you afford this?!"

"I work part time on the weekends."

"Oh Kami, I mean, wow… This is beautiful…"

'just like a certain someone next to me…' Inuyasha watched her put it on around her wrist, and look at it in the light.

"Inuyasha, is this all you wanted me to come here for?"

"No, duh. Sure, like I took you ten miles away from your house to the beach just to give you a purple bracelet."

"Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound so rude…" she looked down slightly, resting her head on the hanyou's shoulder. He blushed.

"So…" The miko began, looking back at the descending sun. "What did you want to talk about?"

"Well…" he fiddled with the sand beneath him. Inuyasha had never realized how shy he got when around Kagome completely alone. It was unnerving that that could make him loose his cool.

"You don't know do you?"

"Er…"

The miko rolled her eyes. "Inuyasha, your hopeless."

"HEY, WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!"

"Nothing it's just a figure of speech. Sheesh, I thought you would have heard it by now."

Inuyasha put on his pouting face, and Kagome could only giggle. "Why are you so happy?"

"You look so cute when you pout."

"I don't pout."

"Then what do you call what you're doing right now?"

No response.

"That's what I thought."

Inuyasha just continued looking straight foreword, watching the sun go down below the horizon.

He suddenly felt Kagome standing up. "Where are you going?"

"Considering that I came out here to receive what I got :which I am thankful for:, I don't see any reason more in staying."

The hanyou stood up, and began to follow behind the miko. ' I can't believe I can't tell her! Argh!!! I think being in this era is starting to get to me…'

"Oh, I almost forgot." Kagome turned right around to look at Inuyasha. "What?"

She leaned up and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you…"

Inuyasha felt blush engulf his face, and his heart going insane, but he didn't care. Before either he or Kagome knew what he was doing, the miko was in his arms in a tight embrace. " Inuyasha…?"

"Thank you… I want to thank you for always being with me… no matter what I've gone through, you have always stayed by my side, Kagome… And I want to stay by you, too…"

The miko couldn't breath. Her heart was aching so much, she wanted so bad to think that Inuyasha loved her, and that what he said was true. But Kikyo just didn't get out of her mind. 'Inuyasha… I wish so much that I could tell you…'

Inuyasha smelled and felt tears falling from the girl in his arms eye's onto his coat. He let go slightly, so that he could see her face. "What's wrong?"

"I-It's… oh, never mind…"

- - place change- -

Two boys and two girls stepped out of the baggage claim area. The boy with black hair with red at the tips sat down his suitcases. "Why do I think that Naena forgot to get us a ride?"

A girl with slightly purple/black hair next to him sat down on her suit case. " Hoshido, it's Naena we're talking about here. He forgot in the attempt to devour more stuff that'll make him a hyperactive mess."

"I suppose we won't be saying that you said that, eh Yoshima?"The boy with a long braid in his hair asked.

"Akutsuo, If you even try to get me up for blackmail again…"

"Oh I wouldn't think of it. I-"

WHAM!

The girl with brown hair thwacked Akutsuo on the head. "Don't even think about it."

"Thanks, Osoane."

"No prob.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Can you here the lead into the next story?! Oh Yeah, rather large cliffy….

No, please do not impale me on broomsticks because I didn't have Inuyasha and Kagome kiss and confess their love and all that pizzazz. That shall be in the next fan fic, called Loving Incense (THIS ONE'S SEQUEL!!!0. The first chapter of that should be up soon : )

Review?…
