Please let Inuyasha be okay, I prayed to myself silently. Hopefully my prayers will be answered. So is this the end? My heart never changed because it was still the same one I loved Inuyasha with. I couldn't bear the thought of trading it with someone else. I was so confused. Had I finished what I had really come for? What will happen to my love for Inuyasha? I didn't know these answers.

I felt weaker and my pen fell from my fingers. I stopped my story right there. The truth is: I didn't know how to end it so I might as well leave it unfinished. I took off my cap and clothes. I was wearing a long white flowing dress underneath. It was the kind I always wanted to wear when I thought I was going to marry Inuyasha.

My hair had grown out a little bit. It grazed my chin. I started to put on some light make up and combed my hair. I don't know what I'm getting dressed up for but I knew I wanted to die looking like Kagome Higurashi, and not Keiichiro. I looked at my reflection again. At least I look like a girl now, I thought with a little laugh.

When I was done, I leaned against the hard rock and wrapped my arms around it, pretending it was Inuyasha. Then I heard a voice yelling out my name. "Kagome!" I recognized the voice. Inuyasha. I smiled, knowing at least he'll be the last person I'll see before I go.

Inuyasha looked around the beach and saw a figure in a white dress. 'Kagome,' he thought as he ran towards her. It was Kagome. He lifted her into his arms and onto his lap as he sat down on the rocks. "Kagome," he whispered to her and kissed her on the neck and face. Tears began to fall down his face.

All of my energy seemed to have been drained as I forced myself to open my eyes. My face felt wet but it wasn't from my tears and it wasn't raining either. My vision was kind of blurred and I couldn't see Inuyasha too well. I reached up to touch his face. It was wet. "Inuyasha," I whispered to him. "Please don't cry. You're scaring me. I've never seen you cry before."

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, through his tear-filled eyes. "I'm so sorry Kagome."

"Don't say you're sorry," she whispered back to him. "You've done nothing wrong."

Inuyasha shook his head. "I'm so sorry. You've done so much for me and I haven't even realized it. I haven't done anything for you except put you through a lot of pain."

I reached up wipe away Inuyasha's tears. "I didn't expect anything back from you Inuyasha. But I want to know why you left me in Japan. I could have called the wedding off if you didn't want to marry me." I felt Inuyasha's grip on me tighten.

"I didn't mean to leave you Kagome," answered Inuyasha, his voice shaking. "I couldn't take my dad anymore. My grandpa had given me his inheritance and I planned on taking you and Miroku with me. I didn't tell you about it because I was afraid you wouldn't leave your family for me. When I came to your house to get you, my uncle's men were there waiting for me and chased me to the docks. I escaped but I wanted to go back but couldn't. I could have put your life in danger. This isn't the first time I've cried Kagome. I cried when I knew I was going to be separated from you."

Despite the pain, I managed to smile. Inuyasha didn't want to leave me, I thought. "Look Inuyasha, I'm wearing the dress I always wanted to wear if we had gotten married."

Inuyasha looked at me. "You're beautiful Kagome," he said to me. "If everything would have gone as planned, we could have been married here in Korea."

One thing was still bothering me. I think I managed to hold onto my life this long because of this question. "Inuyasha, do you love me? I mean romantically, and not as your little sister."

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. She was beautiful. His heart ached when he saw how pale she was. He realized she never did know that he had loved her all along. "Yes, Kagome," he told her. "I loved you since the first day we met. I loved you then and I had never stopped loving you." He bent down to kiss her.

My heart was deepened to a warm bliss. Inuyasha said he loved me, I told myself as I felt him kiss me. Then a cold realization washed over me but I didn't really care. I always thought that I was hurt when I didn't receive Inuyasha's love. Instead, I found out my pain came from when I didn't give Inuyasha enough love. I haven't told Inuyasha I loved him yet.

"Inuyasha," I said to him as he looked down at me. "Thank you for making my dream come true by saying that you love me. I know you're lying and just saying it to repay me but you didn't have to. I did it all because I—I—"

I was losing my voice. Not now, please, I prayed as tears fell down my face. I need to tell him before I go. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the white marble stone Inuyasha had given to me when I was Keiichiro. I pointed towards the ocean to make Inuyasha look. I threw the stone with all my remaining strength. It skipped three times. 'Perfect,' I thought as I closed my eyes for the last time.

As Inuyasha listened to what Kagome was saying, he was stunned still. He couldn't believe his ears. She thought he was saying he loved her as payment of what she had done for him. More tears fell down his face as he shook his head. Then when Kagome pointed out to the ocean, Inuyasha saw her throw the stone he had given her. It skipped three times. I love you. Inuyasha smiled, knowing that Kagome loved him too. He had known that she had loved him all along but she never told it to him either. "Kagome, you don't understand. I do love you!" he shouted. Then Inuyasha looked down at her. She had passed on. "Kagome?" He shook her gently. Her body was still and completely lifeless. "Kagome!" he screamed in pain. He held onto her tightly, burying his face into her raven hair. He was crying so loudly and painfully that both their bodies shook.

Miroku and the others finally made it to where Inuyasha and Kagome were. They circled Inuyasha, who was bent over holding someone they couldn't see. "Inuyasha," said Miroku as he put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "Are you okay? Where's Keiichiro?" Inuyasha lifted his head up and Miroku saw who Inuyasha was holding. He fell back into the sand shocked. "Ka...Kagome?" he asked in disbelief.

"Kagome?" the others repeated in unison.

"Keiichiro is Kagome?" asked Rei.

Inuyasha nodded his head. "She dressed up as a guy to join TBG to be with me."

"You're right, Miroku. Kagome did love Inuyasha," said Ginta quietly.

Miroku got up and hugged both Inuyasha's and Kagome's bodies tightly. "Why?" he asked crying. Everyone remained silent. Inuyasha shook his head. He moved away from Miroku and turned to face all of them. "TBG is my family. You guys are all like my brothers. Please be my witness as I make this promise to Kagome." They nodded their heads sadly and listened.

"Kagome," Inuyasha began. "When you were alive, I was never able to tell you that I loved you. Now that you're gone, you don't believe I love you. Even though I never showed you the kind of love you wanted me to, it doesn't mean I didn't love you with all my heart." Inuyasha paused and yanked off the ring around his necklace. "With TBG here as my witnesses, I, Inuyasha Takahashi, take Kagome Higurashi as my wife 'til eternity. I have nothing to give you Kagome except my heart, which belonged to you from the first day we met."

He kissed her lips as he slipped on the ring. The others watched him in silence. They were surprised because of all the time Inuyasha had been their leader; he had never used his real name 'Inuyasha' before. They knew he was serious. When it was over, Inuyasha lifted Kagome up into his arms as he stood up. "As your leader, I have a final announcement to make. I am quitting TBG."

"What?" they all asked in disbelief.

"Inuyasha," said Hojo. "Please reconsider."

Inuyasha shook his head. "This is the second time Kagome left me. I really can't go on as your leader. The person I loved the most was taken away from me too soon and she died not knowing that I truly do love her."

The others understood what Inuyasha meant. Hakkaku walked up to Inuyasha. "What do you plan to do then Inuyasha?"

"I don't know," he answered. I'll be somewhere where I'll always be with Kagome and constantly remind her that I love her. And as for TBG, with all the money and businesses we have, I don't see any reason why we have to commit any more crimes. We each have enough money to spend for the rest of our lives already."

They all nodded.

Inuyasha placed a hand on Miroku's shoulder. "Miroku," said Inuyasha.

"Yes Inuyasha?" asked Miroku. "If you do love Sango, tell her before it's too late."

Miroku nodded. "I will."

Inuyasha looked at his five brothers for the last time. "This final meeting of TBG is now adjourned. I wish you all the best and hope you do find your true love because I have. Good bye."

Inuyasha picked up Kagome's book and scribbled something into it. When he was done, he placed it down back on the rock. Then Inuyasha lifted Kagome's body up into his arms as he walked away.

"Inuyasha!" shouted Miroku. "Where are you going?"

Inuyasha continued walking and didn't answer him. The five TBG members watched their leader disappear, walking towards the sunset carrying his bride. They picked up the book to see what Inuyasha had written. The last entry of Kagome's story was,

"True love never has an ending."


Author's Note: well, that was the end of the story. Sorry, there won't be a sequel because I'm mean like that. I have another story planned out…although I'm not sure what pairing(s) to do…any suggestions? Name first pairing choice followed by second pairing choice. Review!
