The Hanyou

Epilogue

As Inuyasha and Kagome got out of the well, they headed to Kaede's hut. Before they reached there, something jumped into Kagome's arms.

"Kagome!" exclaimed the familiar voice of the little fox, Shippo. "What took you?" He looked over at Inuyasha who was still holding Mieko. He sniffed to inhale her scent and then covered his nose. His eyes held shock.

"Inuyasha! She's de--"

"Yeah, I know," Inuyasha interrupted dully. "We're going to give hera proper funeral." Shippo saw the sorrow in his eyes and said nothing. He didn't even mention the fact that she was a half demon, or at least almost half.

Upon arriving at the hut, Sango, Miroku and Kaede came out.

"We were begginning to wo--" began Miroku, but he cut himself off as he saw the three of them.

"Who is she?" asked Sango. Kagome shook her head.

"We're going to give her a proper funeral," was what Shippo said. The nodded silently, their faces grave.

"Inuyasha," began Sango. They had burried Mieko at the edge of Inuyasha's forest, by a beautiful tree, but not as to rival the old Goshinboku. "Who was that young girl?" Inuyasha began to explain in a dull tone.

"She was a half demon named Mieko. We found her in Kagome's time. Some doctor gave her my blood which infused with hers to make her a half demon too. But he found her and killed her. Kagome shot him with her arrow, but it was too late. She really would have wanted to meet you guys, though," he added as an after thought. He stood up and left.

"You actually shot him, Kagome?" asked Miroku. Kagome nodded, a slight look of shame on her face.

"He disintegrated into nothing," she told him.

"May they both rest in peace," Miroku said. The girls nodded.

"Kagome," began Kaede, "maybe ye should talk to Inuyasha. I understand his sorrow because of the loss of another one of his kind."

"Yes Kagome," agreed Sango. "If you talk to him, maybe you could snap him out of it." Kagome nodded and left silently.

Upon walking outside, she spotted Inuyasha sitting on a branch of the God Tree.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called to him. She saw his ears tweak in her direction, but he other wise did nothing. "Would you mind if I came up?" Grumbling, Inuyasha jumped down, picked Kagome up and jumped backonto his branch.He turned his back to her again as if ignoring her.

"I'm sorry," Kagome told him.

"It's not you," Inuyasha said in a soft tone. He turned around and his eyes were still sad, but they seemed unfocused. "It's everyone else. It's how everybody treats half breeds so horribly."

"But Inuyasha, he just hated demons," Kagome stated.

"I know that," he replied. "But he still killed a half demon." Kagome nodded in understanding. She leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Inuyasha sighed.

'Thank-you for being so understanding, Kagome.'

I'M DONE! i cant believe it! it's so effin short! WHOO HOO!
