A/N I'm sorry I haven't updated in an eternity. I was trying to work on this one other fic and I got writer's block. Then I forgot about this fic. And I'm grounded. And my back hurts like hell. I'm just really sorry, okay? So here's the next and final chapter.
Chapter 13: If I Ain't Got You, Tatsu's Farewell
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of Inuyasha that includes the characters of Inuyasha. Duh. I also don't own the song "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. So my many props to Rumiko Takahashi and Alicia Keys. I do own the character Tatsu Tsunaka from my imagination, sort of. I also own the idea for this fic and the fic itself. So ha!
Everyone walked Tatsu to the Bone Eaters Well. It had become too dangerous for her. Even though she was strong and highly skilled, (remember that Tatsu was the captain of the kickboxing team) she had no weapons, no knowledge, no defense, and no chance if she had to protect herself from Naraku. Though it was sad to see her go, for her protection she had to go home.
When they got to the well Tatsu sat down on the edge of the well. She was still smiling brightly, but not playfully like it usually was. Her smile this time was appreciative, but at the same time sympathetic.
"I wish you didn't have to go. We had so much fun," Shippo said sadly as he jumped into Tatsu's arms for a hug.
"Yeah, thanks to you I wasn't the only one who had to deal with this monk," Sango said as she hugged her also.
"Hey! Why do you have to be like that? Well Tatsu, I hope you come see us again," Miroku grabbed Tatsu's hand as he said that.
"Don't touch me," Tatsu growled between her teeth. It was Sango that pulled his ear to pry him off.
"I'll see you in school! Tell our friends that I have the flu," Kagome said cheerfully.
"Yeah, I'll make sure I tell them that. And don't forget; they'll want the latest news."
"You can make up something. Inuyasha, isn't there anything you'd like to say?"
"After what you did to the monk. . . and that tree. . .and to me. . .and that fight with Sango… my point is that you're really strong. You'd be good on our team."
Tatsu understood the hidden message. "Thanks Inuyasha. But before I go, there's something I need to do."
Tatsu stood up on the well and put Shippo down on the ground. She set her boom box on the ground as well.
One last time, the area dimmed. Then a spotlight shone on Tatsu. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a black shirt with a silver jacket. Now was the moment everyone has been waiting for. The music began and Tatsu started singing.
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three-dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
No one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you with me baby
See, nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby
When the song was over everyone gave Tatsu a round of applause. Tatsu smiled and bowed.
"Wow Tatsu! That was really good!" Shippo jumped up and down in pleasure.
"Yes that was…" Miroku began to speak until Tatsu slapped him.
"Man, I'll miss having you around. Good job!" Sango complimented.
"The performance or the slap?"
"Both."
"Well, thanks to both."
Kirara climbed up into Tatsu's arms. Tatsu hugged her then put her down.
"Well I guess I should be going now. I'll come back and visit one day."
"Bye!" Everyone said as she picked up her boom box and jumped down the well.
Everyone sat there for a moment. They all smiled and went back to Kaede's Village to wait for the day of Tatsu's return.
Sorry for the horrible ending. I haven't ended that many stories so I really don't have that much experience. I'm so sorry. Please feel free to review. I will be making a sequel so sit tight and keep an eye on me.

Fin et Au revoir
(End and Farewell)
(That on person was right. It does feel weird at the end of a fic. Oh well. Now I can worry about other things.)
