Kagome and Sango and Miroku and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and Rin and Jaken and Kaede and Kikyo and Kohaku and Naraku and Kagura and Kanna and Shippo and Kirara and Myouga and Kouga all died and the world rejoiced.

Thus ended the messed up romance between two people who never should have met, much less fallen in love, and the end of some very grateful people, who all hated the author for messing up their lives so much.

The End

Ha. Sadistic joke.

Banana Rum: Melon-chan no baka. Sake wo nomimasu!

Animeboytoykoi: Another new reviewer! I'm glad you didn't think Rin was too… different, shall we say. I had lots of fun writing about her like that. Hee hee.

Hiei's.punk.rocker.girl: Yay! My favorite reviewer! You know, I was going to combine chapters 10 and 11 into one long story, but, writing practically all of it on Friday night (I'm a big procrastinator) I decided to separate them. Then chapter 10 didn't come until Sunday, because Kalliel was busy… oh well.

moonstar: Don't worry; there'll be lots of fluff here! But it's really bad, because I've never written fluff before!

And thanks to all my other reviewers!

A/N: Stupid me… I got pneumonia…. It sucked like hell. And then I had to catch up on schoolwork… and that took a long time… Bleh. So, sorry.

Warning: Extreme fluff!

Another Warning: Extreme ooc-ness!

Add this with one very depressed author… and you get a piece of shit called chapter 11.

> > >

Chapter 11: Sorry?

'Stupid jerk,' Kagome fumed. "Can I at least dress your wounds? They'll become infected if they're not treated."

"I'm fine," Sesshomaru said, looking away, in a tone that spoke volumes of how he was feeling towards her right now. "I told you to leave."

"You're so used to getting your way, aren't you? You just can't accept the fact that someday, someone is going to ignore you," Kagome retorted, somewhat angrily. "Won't you grow up?"

Sesshomaru ignored her, even when he saw traces of tears sliding down her cheeks. Against his better judgment, he spoke. She had no right to speak to him this way! "I do not need to 'grow up.' I am the Lord of the Western Lands, or have you forgotten that? If anyone needs to 'grow up,' it's you!"

She looked at him, tears now sliding freely down her face. "Well, excuse me, Lord Sesshomaru, but may I remind you that I didn't come here on my own? None of this is my fault. And you're the worst lord I've ever seen." She looked ready to run away.

"And how many lords have you seen? Judging from your rude behavior, not many," he countered, pressing the issue even though he was beginning to feel… guilty?

"Does it matter?" Kagome saw the emotion flicker in his eyes, and took advantage of it. "No one deserves to be treated like this!" Her tears dripped off her face, and fell on the floor. More followed. "I'm sorry about Rin. I'm sorry I ever came into your life. I don't want to be here. Don't you see that?" 'That not completely true,' she thought. 'You do want to be with him, but sometimes he's the worse person in the world!'

"You could leave. If you don't want to be here, then why not walk away and get yourself killed? It's a way out," Sesshomaru suggested, trying to sound as if he didn't care about her in any way. He succeeded- partially.

"Maybe I don't because I still have hope, which you're quickly diminishing," Kagome snapped, sadness turning to anger. "I would return home, but you won't let me! I kill Rin, Inuyasha betrays me, and all you do is ridicule me!"

"Then leave! Just go! No one wants you here! I don't care about your 'hope'! No one wants to hear your whining! You haven't learned anything! You don't know!" Sesshomaru finally let his temper get the better of him. 'She doesn't know… what it feels like to lose… someone you love…forever…'

Kagome sighed deeply. "I don't know. Can't you forgive me for being so… so…"

"So what? You could have made your life different. You had a thousand chances. Learn when to choose your path wisely," Sesshomaru lectured, then realized what he was doing. He was talking freely to a human girl! He hadn't even done that with Rin. 'I must stop. But I can't seem to…'

"Sesshomaru." She sounded so sad! "How do I do that?" She sat down next to him, as if she was preparing for a long story.

"You expect me to talk to you?" Sesshomaru asked, incredulous. "Why should I tell you?"

Kagome yawned. "You just were talking to me. More than usual." She yawned again. 'I'm tired.'

"Kagome?" Sesshomaru stared at Kagome, who was leaning against him, sleepily blinking. "Don't fall asleep on me!" he growled.

She jerked up, and blushed furiously. "Sorry." Her blush deepened. "Should I leave?"

Sesshomaru ignored her. She cocked her head, like an expectant puppy. "Hello?" He continued his sudden silence.

Kagome scooted in front of him, and noticed that he looked paler than usual. 'Is that because of… blood loss?' She noticed that a puddle of blood was steadily growing larger. "Sesshomaru, I'm going to bandage your wounds, whether you like it or not," Kagome said, firmly.

He shook his head. "I'm fine." Was it Kagome's imagination, or did he sound worse, too? "I don't need bandages. Those are for humans."

"Well, you're going to use them." Kagome hen learned of a new, embarrassing problem. 'I have to take his shirt off, don't I?'

"Can you, um, take your clothes off?" she asked. 'That sounded so wrong! I'm sounding like I want to see him naked or something….'

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to." Sesshomaru folded his arms across his chest to emphasize his point. "I don't need your help."

"Yes you do. And if you're not going to do it, then I will." She waited for some sign of rejection, but all she got was an exasperated snort. "Good." She carefully removed his shirt, and started to feel slightly sick at the sight of so much blood.

"Are you sure you're okay?" she asked again, receiving a nod. She reached and unrolled the bandages, and began to work silently.

Her hands moved surely through the process, having done the same for Inuyasha more than a few times. But now she was more painfully aware of the man in front of her.

When she was finished, she pushed a stray lock of hair back over her shoulder, and inspected her work. Sesshomaru's chest was covered in bandages. "Better?"

"Hmph." Sesshomaru turned away, and Kagome's spirits crashed down.

"Are you still mad at me…. About Rin?" she asked timidly. 'I still feel awful about that. I actually killedd her; I didn't mean to! It just happened…'

"No. She would have been killed anyway." Sesshomaru said, sounding bored out of his mind. "It's over now."

Kagome could tell that he didn't want to talk about it anymore. 'Well, that's understandable. Inuyasha never wants to talk about Kikyo, either.'

"Lord Sesshomaru," a servant said urgently from outside, skidding slightly as a result of stopping so abruptly. "Someone is outside- your half-brother, I believe. And he wants you to come out and fight."

> > >

"Sesshomaru, what the hell did you do with Kagome?" Inuyasha's voice rang out as soon as he saw his brother.

Kagome, coming up from behind Sesshomaru, saw Sango and Miroku first, and resisted the urge to run up to them and fling her arms around them. She hadn't seen them in what seemed like forever…

They had seen her too. "Kagome!" they cried happily. She smiled at them, and then turned to look at Inuyasha.

He took a long look at her, an unreadable expression on his face, and then turned back to Sesshomaru. "Bastard, we're here to take Kagome back!"

"Just try." Sesshomaru drew Tokijin and pointed it at Inuyasha.

'He's defending me?' Kagome wisely took a few steps back from the two brothers, who now both had their weapons out.

Inuyasha sprang at Sesshomaru, Tetsusaiga raised. Sesshomaru dodged, and sliced downwards with Tokijin, missing Inuyasha by inches.

Inuyasha looked ready to spring again, but stopped. Kagome and the others looked over to Sesshomaru. Kagome remembered Rin. 'Oh no! He's hurt, isn't he! How will he fight?'

"Why don't you fight back?" Inuyasha asked, half angry and half confused.

Sesshomaru didn't reply. He had been slightly hunched over, and any random bystander would guess (correctly that he was wounded. This seemed to surprise Inuyasha the most.

"How were you hurt, Sesshomaru?"

"Why would you care?" Sesshomaru moved closer to Kagome. Inuyasha took this as a sign of defense.

"Why the hell are you defending her, Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha hissed, landing to Kagome's right. "Why do you care at all?"

"Why do you defend her?" Sesshomaru shot back. He was directly in front of Kagome, albeit a couple meters away.

Inuyasha growled at him. "Shut up."

Meanwhile, Kagome was having a happy reunion with her friends. "I'm so glad to see you again," she told Sango and Miroku.

"So am I," Sango said, tears in her eyes. "We thought we'd never see you again."

"Inuyasha was reluctant to come and get you," Miroku confided in her. "We came along just in case he decided he wasn't going to."

"I heard that!" Inuyasha yelled, no bothering to look their way. "What makes you think I would have left her here with this fucking demon?"

"Better than being with a hanyou idiotic enough to choose the dead over the living," Sesshomaru muttered, only loud enough for Inuyasha to hear.

"Why is everyone against me?" Inuyasha wondered, angrily.

Everyone paused to glare at him.

Sango turned back to face Kagome. "Are you ready to come back with us?" she asked.

"I-I guess," Kagome said uncertainly. She looked over to Sesshomaru, who currently had Inuyasha fighting for his life. "I don't… know."

"Not know?" her friends chorused. "Why not?" They looked at Kagome as if she were crazy. Which she probably was.

"I don't know," Kagome repeated, tears of frustration springing o her eyes. She really didn't know. On one hand, she was thrilled to see her friends… but she couldn't just leave Sesshomaru.

Or could she? Glancing at him, she had the feeling that he wouldn't care if she just left.

"Lady Kagome?"

Kagome jerked back at the sound of Miroku's quiet voice. She looked into his eyes. He knew.

"We should watch the fight. Inuyasha might get himself killed," he suggested.

Inuyasha was now panting, Tetsusaiga's tip resting on the ground. Sesshomaru looked ready to continue the fight.

"Tired already? Pathetic," he said, "Father would be ashamed."

Inuyasha picked up his sword. "I'm not giving up yet." He rushed at Sesshomaru.

"Stop, Inuyasha!" Kagome's voice was lost in the din of the swordfight. Both brothers were struggling to throw the other off their swords, their weapons quivering with the force.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed again. "Stop! Sesshomaru!"

They drew apart, and looked expectantly at Kagome, who ran out to them, Sango and Miroku close behind.

"Please don't fight. I don't want either of you to get hurt," Kagome pleaded. Despite the mixed feelings she had with Inuyasha, she still cared for him.

Sango pulled her back. "Kagome, don't interfere with their fight. They're fighting for you, and you can't stop it."

They had both started fighting again, and Kagome knew that Sango was right. She hated the thought of people fighting over her, but, it did have a romantic advantage.

Watching Inuyasha take a blow from Sesshomaru, though, she wanted more than ever for it to stop. She hoped it would end soon. But who would be the victor?

A/N: This is the worst, most fucked up chapter I've ever written. I'm sorry. I'm totally depressed for no reason at all, for forgive me for being…. a lame excuse for a human being. Bleh. Although my reviews sound happy… they were written back before I got sick…. So…. Whatever…. I'll just shut up now.

Please review this sad, lame, pathetic excuse for a story…
