Chapter 7: Where Normality Returns
Inside Titans Tower, the next morning,
Everyone was in the living room talking, "Satan did something no one else could do…" Miroku said as he looked at his hand, with no Kazaana
"He destroyed Naraku…" replied Sango
"I would have….eventually" replied Inuyasha
"Keyword in that statement: eventually" said Shippo and then Inuyasha knocked him in the head
"But we still have to get back to the feudal era…" replied Kagome
"You guys are welcome to stay with us as long as you like" replied Robin "and since Titans East left for home last night after the battle we have more than enough room"
"Thanks but it isn't the same" replied Miroku "I hate to say it but I miss Mushin"
"And Sesshomaru is counting on me to relay his message to Jaken" said Inuyasha as he put a hand on Tenseiga, and then both of the swords pulsated at the same time, "what's going on?" he asked
"What Inuyasha?" asked Kagome
"Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga are pulsating" he replied
"I wonder what it means" added Shippo
"Wait…the sword Naraku could open the portal to Hell and create vortexes to other time dimensions right?" asked Raven
"Yeah…what of it?" asked Inuyasha, grasping both the swords
"And those two swords used together can open and close the portal to Hell right?" asked Raven
"Yeah…where are you going with this?" asked Shippo confused
"Maybe if you combine the ultimate attacks of Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga it could open up a portal to your time" Raven said
"Inuyasha maybe that's why Sesshomaru gave you the Tenseiga!" Kagome said grabbing him
"Maybe…but we better get packed and then we'll try it!" Inuyasha said as he ran to his room and everyone followed into theirs except the Titans, soon everyone was packed and was outside, they threw their stuff together in a pile and began to say goodbye, Inuyasha walked up to Robin
"Hopefully we'll meet again" Robin said as he shook Inuyasha's hand
"I have a feeling we will" replied Inuyasha "Kagome and I are usually in her time"
"Great if you're ever in our era, drop by" said Robin
Miroku went to say goodbye to Starfire but Sango knocked him out of the way and he was knocked into Beast Boy "Goodbye, its been fun" he said shaking Beast Boy's hand
"And thanks for the advice" Beast Boy whispered back "I'll try it sometime"
"I bet she'll love it" replied Miroku, and Beast Boy smiled and looked at Raven
"Try it and you're dead" she said simply and Sango hugged her
"Thank you for everything" Sango said
Raven didn't know how to reply so she just patted Sango's back "…no problem"
"Don't worry if she really loves you she won't kill you" Miroku whispered to Beast Boy
"It's been fun" Shippo said to Starfire
She grabbed him and hugged him "You are quite…how you say…adorable and you are one of my new friends!" and she squeezed him tightly
"Thanks!" Shippo said popping out of her hold
Kagome then kissed Cyborg on the cheek "thanks…"
Cyborg blushed, "no…no….no problem"
Kagome waved to them all with Kirara on her shoulder "I'll drop by sometime!" and with that everyone gathered together
"Everybody ready!" screamed Inuyasha, everyone replied back yes, and then he drew out Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga and he was just about to swing them both at the same time when he realized something
"Inuyasha why'd you stop?" asked Kagome
"I just realized something…" Inuyasha replied putting his hands still grasping both swords to the side "I can't use the Bakuryuuha without any demonic energy launched at me"
"Well I'm pretty sure it will still work" replied Cyborg
"What do you expect me to do!" Inuyasha screamed "Just clang them together!" and with that he hit the two swords together and the ripples from the clang opened up a vortex, and Inuyasha turned and looked at it shocked "holy shit….it actually worked!"
Kagome grabbed her things and threw them in and then jumped in herself "Thanks for everything!" she screamed
"Wait for me Kagome!" screamed Shippo as he jumped into the vortex "Bye!"
"Don't forget me!" screamed Sango as Kirara and herself jumped in with their things "Thanks!"
"Sango wait up for your love-monk!" Miroku screamed as he jumped in with his things "it's been fun!"
And lastly, Inuyasha placed Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga into their sheaths and threw the tarp containing Kohaku's remains over his shoulder, he then stepped into the vortex and as it closed he said "thanks for everything, and I'm sure our paths will cross again…" and with that the vortex closed up and all the Titans stood there waving
"I will miss them so very much" Starfire said wiping a tear away from her eye
Robin held her hand, "it will be okay Star, like Inuyasha said: our paths will cross again…someday"
Cyborg finally stopped blushing, and turned to see Raven walking into the house "where are you going?" he asked "we're having a sentimental moment here!"
"I don't do sentimental or goodbyes…" Raven replied as she placed her hood up
"Oh what's the matter?" Beast Boy asked "is Raven upset our new friends left?"
"You want a giant hole to be where your face used to be?" she asked him, Beast Boy then jumped back and shook his head "no", Raven then removed her hood "Robin we still haven't gotten that pizza you owe us…"
"Come on then!" Robin screamed as he ran towards the city
"Last one there is a rotten tofu square!" screamed Beast Boy as he transformed into a hawk and flew off
"You're on…" Raven said as she flew off with him
"No fair!" screamed Cyborg "I can't fly or drive!"
"Teen Titans GO!" screamed Robin, as Starfire picked him up and they all flew and ran off towards the pizza parlor
Meanwhile in the feudal era,
Everyone began emerging from the vortex, "that was nice" said Kagome
"Yes it was" replied Sango
"Sango…" Inuyasha said, placing down the tarp "I brought you back a present…" and he opened up the tarp to reveal Kohaku's remains, his armor and his weapons, Sango looked shocked "I thought we could give him a proper burial…"
She hugged Inuyasha and then kissed his cheek "Thank you…" she said softly
"Wow this is a new side to Inuyasha…" replied Shippo
"Yeah…" agreed Miroku
"I've seen it before…but very little…" replied Kagome
"We should return to my village then" replied Sango as she let go of Inuyasha
"I can't" he replied wrapping back up the tarp "but…" he said as he threw the tarp on Miroku "Miroku can carry it for you…I'll meet you guys there I have to relay a message" and with that he jumped off to find Jaken and Rin
"We better get going then" replied Sango as Kagome, Shippo, Kirara and herself walked off into the distance "come on Miroku" she stopped and called to him
"How much did your brother weigh?" asked Miroku struggling and finally stood next to Sango
"Not much…" she replied "now get going….my love-monk" and she slapped his ass and started to walk on
"Wait for me!" he screamed as he ran after her still caring the tarp
Meanwhile Inuyasha found Jaken and Rin,
"Inuyasha!" screamed Jaken "what do you want!" and he held up the staff of two heads
"I come bearing a message from Sesshomaru" replied Inuyasha
"Why didn't he tell me himself?" asked Jaken and then he noticed Inuyasha had the Tenseiga "and what are you doing with his useless sword?"
Rin stepped in front of Jaken "what is the message from Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked
"He says that he'll be watching over the both of you…and that Jaken should take care of you for now on…" Inuyasha said and he patted her head and began to walk away
"What happened to my lord anyway?" asked Jaken
Inuyasha turned around and looked at the sky, "he died in battle…"
Jaken looked shocked, "Then where is his grave?"
Inuyasha began to walk away "in the border between this world and the next…where our father's grave is as well" and he walked away
"Lord Sesshomaru is finally where he always wanted to be…" Rin added
"What! How do you know!" asked Jaken
"Every time you would fall asleep he would talk to me…he said he always wanted to be greater than his father…and since his grave is where his father's grave is…I guess he is…" and she began to walk off
"What!" Jaken cried "he never opened up to me…he never told me anything!" and then he noticed Rin was walking away "Rin wait for me, RIN!" and with that he ran off after Rin "Lord Sesshomaru said to take care of you! Now you're doing what he always did! RIN!" he screamed and an image of Sesshomaru smiling appeared in the sky above them
Meanwhile back at the demon slayer village,
Sango had just finished burying her brother next to her father "you'd be proud of him father…you most likely are…" she thought to herself as she prayed
Then Inuyasha arrived "hey!" he said and everyone ran over to meet him "we have to talk about what to be done with the jewel" he said
"We could seal it away" Kagome said
"No you'll most likely die doing that…we can't have that…" Inuyasha said
"We could revive Kohaku again…" Miroku said
"No…" replied Sango "I don't want to put Kohaku threw that again…"
"I could use it to become a full fledged demon" Inuyasha said
"NO!" Kagome said quickly "it must be used in a pure manner to be rid of it once and for all"
Inuyasha looked disappointed and then he looked down to see Shippo just sitting there, and then he realized something "Shippo…don't you have something you want to do with the jewel?" he asked
"No…" replied Shippo sadly
"Are you sure?" asked Inuyasha "I hear you every night wish upon stars…shall I tell them what you wish for?"
"What!" Shippo said "you're awake!" and Inuyasha shook his head "yes" and Shippo panicked
"Come on Shippo, I bet it's a great idea" replied Kagome
"Yeah" added Sango
"Fine…" he replied "but it's kind of selfish…"
"Out with it before I tell them!" Inuyasha said
"I don't like being a demon anymore…" Shippo said "everyone runs from me…but if I did this I think my father would be ashamed…"
"Shippo if your dad really loved you he would want you to have what's best…" Kagome added
"Okay…" Shippo said "I WANT TO BE HUMAN!" he blurted out
"So this is what Kohaku meant…" Sango thought to herself
"Was that so hard?" asked Inuyasha
"No…" Shippo replied "I see the way you guys act and when you walk into town no one is afraid of you…I want to be a human…"
Kagome placed the almost completed jewel in Shippo's hands and the jewel did not become impure, it stayed pure "I think it would be okay then" Kagome said "it seems that Priestess Midoriko would be okay with it…so that means the jewel would no longer exist" and she removed the jewel from his hands "lets go find Koga" she said
"Yeah that's right we need his shards" Shippo said "but how will we get them?"
"You leave that to me" Kagome said and with that they set off to find Koga
Not too soon later "Hi Kagome!" screamed Koga as he stopped in front of her
"Hi Koga" she replied and with that Inuyasha grew angry, she turned to him and simply said "Osuwari" and he dropped to the ground "Koga can I ask you a favor?"
"Sure anything for you" and he grabbed her hand
"I need your two shards…so I can find more…" she said nervously
"Seriously?" asked Koga, Kagome shook her head "yes", "okay here you go" and with that he removed his two shards and placed them in her hands, "so you guys killed Naraku?" he said "I can smell him all over you…"
"Actually, I did!" screamed Inuyasha jumping up holding Tetsusaiga "and I did it all with my Tetsusaiga!" then Kagome said "Osuwari" and he hit the ground again
"Thanks" and with that she added them to the jewel and it became whole again, "actually he did defeat him all by himself"
"Wow dog-shit actually did something good for once" Koga said "Awesome Kagome can I have it now?"
"Nope sorry" she replied "this is for someone I truly care about and she turned around and bent down
"You're giving it to dog-shit!" he screamed
"Nope…" she replied and she handed it to Shippo "now make your wish upon it Shippo" and with that Shippo closed his eyes and held the jewel in his hands and then suddenly a bright white light shined from Shippo and it blinded everyone
"What the…?" screamed Koga as he turned away
And when the light cleared Shippo was a young human boy about the same age as Kagome's brother, Souta "I'm a human boy!" screamed Shippo as he jumped up
"Kagome did it work?" asked Sango
"I can no longer sense the jewel…" she replied "it worked" and Shippo continued to dance and hop around
"Kagome…" Koga said "why?"
"Sorry Koga…" she said "but I had to get rid of the jewel"
"Now I don't love you…" he replied and he stood there angry
"Good because I love only one man" Kagome replied and she picked up Inuyasha "I dare say half-man" and she kissed him
"You and dog-shit!" Koga screamed, outraged
"Yes!" screamed Kagome and she kissed him again
"Does this mean you'll take off the necklace?" Inuyasha asked
"Maybe some other time…" replied Kagome
"That's it!" screamed Koga outraged and then he realized something "I wonder if Ayame's offer to get married is still up for grabs…" and with that he ran off towards the northern mountains
"Well this has been a great day after all" replied Inuyasha "we can all go to Kagome's time whenever we want now and we got rid of shit-head" and with that they all walked off to Kaede's village, to tell Kaede of their adventures and what had happened
In the border between this world and the next,
Sesshomaru's spirit and his father's spirit both were standing on a peak, behind them their graves were next to one another, Sesshomaru looked at his left arm and felt it "it feels good to have this back…" he thought to himself
"Sesshomaru, we no longer have any swords to aid us in battle…" his father said, looking at him, "shall we fight now to see who is stronger?"
Sesshomaru smiled at him, "yes we shall father…" and with that he jumped at his father and they started fighting, they were equal blow for blow, and as they continued fighting, on a peak higher than the one they were one stood Kagura, Kanna and Izayoi or Inuyasha's mother, and they watched the two fight it out
"Sesshomaru is quite the match for his father" Izayoi said
"Yeah" replied Kagura "but his father was most likely a greater fighter in his prime" and Kagura and Izayoi smiled at one another, and then Kagura looked at Kanna "its good to have you back sister…" and she hugged Kanna, and then Kanna smiled and everyone turned back to look at Sesshomaru and his father fight, it was uncertain who would be the winner but it did not really matter, because after it all they could leave peacefully with their loved ones, for Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's father there was Izayoi and for Sesshomaru, there was Kagura
But things did not have a happy ending in the Titans' time even though everyone had finally shown their feelings to the ones they loved but soon they would need help from Inuyasha and his friends containing a now human Shippo and a Non-Kazaana Miroku, to take care of a problem left there by Sesshomaru, but that's a story for another day…
Author's Note:
Thank you for reading my story, I hope you enjoyed it. And if I get a lot of reviews I'm thinking of writing a sequel. I would enjoy your input no matter what it is and I would also like to know if you think I should write a sequel. Like I said I would enjoy your input. Thank you again!
P.S. and if you are wondering what happened to Naraku, his child, Hakudoushi, Mouryoumaru and Satan, here it is: Satan was once again the ruler of Hell but as punishment, God declared he would have to take a giant, and I mean giant, like King Kong giant, pineapple up his ass every day, and the Souunga was locked away forever, never to be unsealed again and as for Naraku, his child, Hakudoushi and Mouryoumaru, well they're souls were put over an open fire and roasted to a nice crisp brown and then placed inside a giant pineapple and shoved up Satan's ass, but everyday their souls would pass threw his body and the process of being cooked and shoved up Satan's ass would happen again, this were their punishments for all of eternity.
