Review of the Reviewers:

A Shadowed Light: Hi I updated. It's probably too late, but I hope it's not too little. Thanks for voting.

GuardianKeyist:. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thanks for reviewing

SugarcrazyFox: Hey thanks for reviewing again! I tend to like writing crazy stories. They are more interesting to write then normal ones.

Luvz Fluffy-sama: Thanks for reviewing and voting. I did update when I could.

MoonGodess2: Whoa, calm down. Thanks for calling the story awesome whether he does die or not.

Ks-Starshine: THANK YOU for reviewing for I think being the most constant reviewer ever. I also think you have great advice on the whole voting thing too. To top it off you also are an editor which is great because I'm not always the best at Grammar however I looked over the story, and I think most of the errors occurred because of the combination of my inability to type fast and the spell checker not picking up the mistakes.

demonchik39: Hey thanking for reviewing. Yep life isn't peachy like that. Good luck to Inuyasha in his endeavor to finding Kagome in your story. It sounds like he'll need it.

Anjel10520: I'm glad you like my story, and yes I did finish it.

SkyWolf: I didn't go to Sadies which is obvious to you now however thanks for reviewing.

Kikyou raced to the side of the still Naraku holding his body tenderly. "What did you do to him!" She raged at Kouga.

"He started it." Kouga responded childishly.

Hearing the commotion, Inuyasha refusing to be saved by Kouga slammed his shoulder against the trapdoor. As it gave under his now badly dislocated shoulder, her half naked body was flung into the open and immediately was grabbed by Kouga. Inuyasha broke away from Kouga's hands and stood to face him trying not to hint to his already disabled arm. They circled around each other, and as Inuyasha carefully stepped over the limp but shallowly breathing form of Naraku and the pissed off Kikyou, Kouga lunged at Inuyasha hitting the dislocated shoulder forcing it into its rightful socket. As they crashed into the floor taking Kikyou part way with them, Inuyasha cried out in surprise. Kouga hearing the cry thought he had hurt Inuyasha and grinned. While celebrating his easy victory over his pitiful enemy, Inuyasha rolled placing Kouga between himself and the wood floor with the scene right in front of the trapdoor.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed climbing out of the trapdoor. "What are you doing? Get off of him!"

"My woman, don't worry. I was winning." Kouga called out while Inuyasha's fist, stopped in motion by Kagome's voice, continued its path and found Kouga's nose.

"She is not your woman." Inuyasha stated almost as if explaining his action. Kagome although glaring at Inuyasha couldn't suppress the amusement in her eyes.

"Inuyasha just get off of him."

Inuyasha grudgingly obliged Kagome's command. When both males got up, they stared at each other, their anger and aggression pouring out towards the other. Both Kouga and Inuyasha stood next to Kagome trying to protect their claim to her.

"Back off!" Kagome said forcefully even though she barely raised her voice and shoved both men backwards because they had been inching their way closer challenging the other.

Kikyou who had been uncharacteristically silent except for a small shriek when Inuyasha and Kouga had fallen choose this moment to intercede with a brilliant question.

"What are we going to do with him?" Pointing to the sprawled body of Naraku lying on her lap drawing everyone's attention back to the original problem.

"We'll call the police." Kagome said flatly.

When nobody moved, Kouga announced. "Fine I'll call them." He left to go locate his cell phone from within his muddied car glaring at Inuyasha as he stalked out of the house.

The remaining three looked at each other, and Inuyasha blushed realizing for the first time the blanket was no longer wrapped around him.

"Kikyou." Kagome snapped succeeding in having Kikyou turn to face her instead of staring at Inuyasha's nude form.

"What?" Kikyou answered as if from a dream.

"Do you know where there would be extra clothes for Inuyasha?"

"I think so…wait a minute…" Kikyou muttered sneaking another glance at Inuyasha before climbing the stairs.

Inuyasha picked up the forgotten blanket and enfolded the blanket around him securing the ends, so it couldn't fall. Kikyou soon came back with jeans and a black T-shirt and handed them to the scantily clad Inuyasha. From the look on her face Kikyou was very disappointed that the blanket had been retrieved. He ran, as fast as the blanket would allow, into the bathroom holding the blanket for dear life. As soon as the bathroom door closed, the front door opened, and Kouga strutted into the room.

"They are on their way with an ambulance in tow." Kouga proudly informed both girls. He then cooed to Kagome. "It's all over Babe. You are safe with me." Just as he was about to reach for her, Inuyasha was there holding Kagome like a possessive puppy defending a favorite bone.

"Let her go." Kouga demanded in a raged-filled voice.

"No." Inuyasha responded bluntly closing his arms around her waist even move tightly.

Before yet another fight could ensue an annoying whirling noise could be heard in the distance gaining volume every second and finally stopping in front of the cabin. Two cops cautiously approached the door calling out to the four conscience people.

"Hello is everybody alright? Someone made a call to the police station reporting a kidnapper had been killed?" One of the uniforms called out.

"Unfortunately no he wasn't killed." Kagome spoke in a clear voice hatred spread across her beautiful face.

"Naraku is right here officers." Kikyou said ignoring Kagome's statement.

"Put some cuffs on him before you carry him out." Inuyasha suggested boldly as the braver policeman walked past him. The cop gave him an odd look but followed his suggestion. The paramedics entered the scene and joined the first officer at Naraku's side and started to check vital signs. After finishing the initial medical report, they lifted him onto a stretcher and carried him out to the waiting ambulance. As they pasted Kagome, she shuddered and found comfort in Inuyasha's open arms.

At last she knew she was safe from the terrors of Naraku. She had gotten out alive. That was what mattered. She didn't even attempt to kid herself. If she had stayed and never been rescued, Naraku would have killed her in his unstable condition. While she had been alone she had pondered his mood swings and had come to the conclusion that he was schizophrenic. In his one of his minds he had been under the delusion that Kagome was Kikyou, and in attempt to gain Kikyou's heart back he had kidnapped Kagome to either convince her to stay or her own or to stay against her will. The other personality had thought killing or kidnapping Kagome would somehow bring Kikyou to love him.

Kikyou owes me big time. Kagome thought grimly as she snuggled closer to Inuyasha however Kouga broke the mood.

"Don't touch her!"

"Look Kouga, she doesn't want you. Kagome loves me." Stated flatly Inuyasha's face was totally blank except for the blaze of anger within his gorgeous purple eyes. Kouga seemed to back off.

Finally he gets it. Kagome thought then immediately erased that thought as both men went down to their knees in front of her and asked.

"Kagome will you marry me?"

Stunned Kagome's stare was focused solely upon Inuyasha's solemn face.

"Of course I will Inuyasha."

"Wonderful I knew you couldn't say no to me for forever." Kouga interceded. "Now when do you want the wedding.

"Kouga? I said no to you and yes to Inuyasha. If I don't want to date you or even be around you, how can I marry you? THERE IS NO CHANCE I WILL EVER LOVE YOU!" Kagome announced then turned back to Inuyasha who was still on one knee and sat on his lap. "The only condition that I'm putting on the wedding is that it wait until after we graduate college."

"I'm sorry I don't have a ring. I was planning on buying one and picking out a romantic place and proposing except you disappeared, and nothing else mattered."

"Why do all of the good things happen to you?" Whined Kikyou who had seen the entire display.

"Excuse me I just was kidnapped and held against my will in a dark dank basement, and you ask me 'Why do all the good things happen to you?'" Kagome said glaring at Kikyou from her position on Inuyasha.

"Besides she got you as a cousin. Not everything in life has been kind to Kagome." Inuyasha said backing up Kagome.

"Well I never!" Kagome shrieked and walked off to inform one of the officers that she wanted an escort home now.

Kagome and Inuyasha laughed softly to themselves and were disturbed by a policeman.

"Sorry to interrupt you, but you have to make a statement. Also we have been hounded by a lady named Sango to let her know when we had found you. Could you please call her and tell her you are all right?"

"Oh my god! I completely forgot about Sango and Miroku! Poor Sango must be worried sick!" Kagome declared and jumped out of a now very confused looking Inuyasha's arms.

"But Kagome you were abducted. It's normal not to remember to call someone to tell them you are fine.

"She doesn't even know about our engagement." Continued Kagome acting as if she hadn't heard Inuyasha's protests. Kagome asked the officer where she could call Sango and raced off in the direction he had described. She reached the phone and picked it up dialed information and asked the woman for the hospital the helpful cop had told her. After several minutes of explaining to the hospital receptionist that she did not know the room number and wished to speak to Sango, Kagome mentioned she probably came in with a man and described Miroku. Instantly she was connected to Sango's room phone.

"Hello Sango?" Kagome said.

"Kagome!" Sango squealed. "Where are you? What happened to you. If he hurt you, I swear I'll kill him."

"I'm at a cabin in the woods. The police are here. Inuyasha found me. I'm not hurt too badly. Sango guess what Inuyasha asked me!".

"He asked you to marry him of course. Oh it's so romantic. Your knight rescues you from an evil villain." Sango responded dreamily then she muttered to Miroku. "Miroku did you hear that Inuyasha asked Kagome to marry him. A drugged Miroku responded "Good.", and dosed off again.

Kagome said thinking it would be bad to mention it was really Kouga who had saved them though Inuyasha would never admit it. "Did he tell you beforehand?"

"No. I wish he had, but no he didn't. I just guessed."

"Oh I forgot to ask. How are you and Miroku?"

"We are fine especially since you have been found."

"When we get off the phone with you, Inuyasha and I will come to the hospital right away."

"Of course we will have so much to talk about, and I can't wait to see you."

"Neither can I. Bye Love ya."

"Bye I love you too."

Naraku was found not guilty because of his insanity defense and was sent to a mentally retarded facility for ten years. Kikyou even goes to visit him every now and then.

Inuyasha and Kagome became husband and wife in the June following their graduation. Kagome is becoming a doctor, and Inuyasha plans to be an antiques dealer specializing in ancient swords from Japan.

Sango and Miroku ended up dating for two years and deciding they couldn't wait got married in their junior year of college (Sango had insisted she be married before they had sex). They are expecting their first baby in December. Sango wants to be a nurse because of her prolonged exposure to them because of the wounds Naraku inflicted. Miroku had tried much earlier to become a nurse however they kicked him out the very first day for indecent behavior. He hasn't decided what he wants to be yet however he took an offer as a massage therapist. Needless to say he is very happy with his job.
