A/N: Well, about time! This story is now closing up! This really has been fun to write, most definitely. Well, with this story completed, I can now begin on Roadtrip! and Long Distance Connection. Actually, to tell you the truth, I finished the first chapter of Roadtrip a while back so I guess you'll pretty much see it up once you get done reading this new and last chapter of Inuyasha's Eleven. Oh, and there will be no sequel. Well…not to spoil the ending, but it has the ending type from the Italian Job. Please enjoy! And don't forget to review as well. Ha ha…

Chapter 8
Money Makes the World Go Round, Part 2
1:00
"Okay. Kohaku, please take this down to the Sango's car and hurry up. We have to get it perfectly for Ayame when she presents it to Naraku." Kagura ordered. She gave two bags to him. "I need to check the room carefully again."
"Mommy, when are we leaving for the airport?" Rin asked as she obediently sat on the couch.
"Soon, honey. I just have to check around here one more time for anything we may have left or something that is suspicious." Kagura answered to her only daughter. She cautiously looked around with an of an eagle.
Inuyasha came into the doorway. "Are you almost done, Kagura?" he asked waving at Rin.
"Yeah. Just give me a few more minutes." She answered.
Inuyasha threw her the keys of the suite. "Just close up and check out. I'm going to go pick up Bankotsu from the airport now."
1:30
"Welcome Shichinintai." Inuyasha greeted when the remaining four members of the infamous gang stepped off the place.
"Inuyasha Taisho," Bankotsu greeted with a firm handshake, "nice to meet you in person than over the phone."
"Ah yes. How was your flight?" he asked, taking several of their bags.
"Stuffy and crowded. None of us slept much." Bankotsu replied. "But I think we all will get some shut eye once we get our hands on Naraku."
"Of course." Inuyasha gazed at his watch. "Well, I have other plans to attend to in thirty minutes, so I will drive all of you and your baggage to the Four Seasons hotel. You can stay there for the time being."
The four members nodded. "So when do we come into the picture of your master plan?" Jakotsu asked.
"You all will stay at the hotel and catch up on your sleep. You don't have to be ready until 6:40 tonight. I will swing by and give you your generous payment before leaving. You cart away Naraku at seven." Inuyasha explained as he showed them to his car. When all of them were inside, Inuyasha handed Bankotsu a small blueprinted map. "This is a map that leads into the Security center. Don't worry about security because my hacker will have already fucked it up a bit. Just knock out the guards at the center and wait for Naraku."
He studied the map carefully. "I understand."
2:00
"Okay! Where are we at now?" Inuyasha called into the garage where his friends were waiting with the other cars. Inuyasha drove his black Solara inside and parked it next to Sango's silver one.
"Checking over supplies." Sango replied.
"Explosives?"
"Check!" Shippo exclaimed pointing to the purse and briefcase next to him. "They're inside the bag. Kagome's going to wear the bag as if it is her real purse. The briefcase will be hidden under Koga's seat."
"Duffel bags?"
"Check." Koga said.
"How many?" Inuyasha asked.
"Twenty per car."
"Air tanks and gas masks?"
"Check and check. They're inside the trunk." Sango pointed out. "Oh yeah! The sleep bombs as inside too."
"Sweet. When 5:00 hits, it's show time people!" He exclaimed excitedly.
5:00
Naraku and Kagome walked outside to the front of the casino where Ayame was waiting patiently. "Mr. Onigumo! It's a delight to see you again." She welcomed.
Ayame saw Kagome carrying the purse Shippo had given to her earlier that day. In front of each car were Miroku, Kagura, and Sesshomaru ready for any order. "Mrs. Ishikawa. Thank you for this generous gift."
"No problem."
"I see that your husband is absent at the current moment."
"Oh yes. I apologize for his missing presence. He has to go take care of something important this instant." Ayame explained with a fake smile.
"I understand. Kagome, if you would…"
Kagome nodded. "Agreed. Naraku, just go and have dinner with Kikyo right now. I will take care of everything."
Kagome carefully directed Miroku, Kagura, and Sesshomaru to drive the cars into a private area where the cars were taken under the ground.
5:30
Kagome disarmed the alarms in the scanners as the cars went through. As she looked at the X-rays, her companions were still all right. She put them through the elevator one by one. They were at the vault now. The guards tried to help get the cars inside but the woman dismissed them. "Don't put the cars inside the vault! They'll take up all the space and there will be no room to store the money. And go get someone else to change your shifts." She ordered.
The guards left leaving her alone with her partners in crime. Inuyasha, Sango, Koga, and Shippo were freed from their prison from inside the trunks. Everyone but Shippo hid inside the backseat of their car. As Miroku, Kagura, and Sesshomaru parked the cars carefully at the end of the left dead-end corridor so that they were easy to drive out the other end. Kagome and Shippo went down to the opposite dead-end with the explosives in her purse. Shippo quickly assembled them against the wall.
"That should do it." He said. He handed Kagome the detonator. "Here. Remember not to press the button until 6:30."
"Gotcha."
6:00
Kikyo's arm was entwined with her boyfriend's as the three walked down to the racetracks. "This is so exciting! I just wish a lot more shows were hosted here at Vegas." She said.
"Kikyo, we do have shows here. They are always open." Kagome pointed out.
"No! That's not what I mean! I meant I wish more competitions and such were hosted here. It really brings good business."
"It sure does…" Kagome thought in her head. She glanced at her watch to see it was not exactly six. "The security mainframe is now terminated." She said inside her head.
6:05
Koga slowly got up from his seat when he felt his phone vibrate silently in his pocket. It was the signal from Sesshomaru for the next point of the plan. His friends would be feeling the same sensation from their phones at this moment as well. Careful not to be seen by the guards, he slowly slid out of the car from the open window. Staying low he retracted the smoke bomb from his pocket. He crouched over to the back of Inuyasha's black Solara. He could see Sango and Inuyasha and Shippo with their gas masks on now. Koga put on his before releasing the cap of the bomb. He threw it. The bomb landed on the rightful target and knocked out the guards.
The smoke cleared and Inuyasha, Sango, and Shippo emerged from view. It was time to work. As the three drivers drove the cars in front of the vault door, the small fox demon had blown up the vault door. At the exact moment at the airport, Kanna shut off all sensors on the inside from her laptop.
6:10
The four took the duffel bags and began stuffing every piece of money inside the bags. They were getting rich. Every single bill counted. "Inuyasha, this is the best heist ever." Sango commented with a laugh, as she smelled a bundle of cash.
"It is isn't it? Aren't you happy that I signed you up for this job?"
When they were all finished, they opened the trunk and threw in all the duffel bags inside. Inuyasha kept two of the bags on his shotgun seat.
6:30
"Time for the blackout!" She called to the others. She typed in several things and hit enter. Everything went out. Nothing could be seen except for pitch black.
At the track, Kagome flipped open the detonator and pressed the switch. At the casino, the dead-ended wall blew up revealing the passage to the surface. Everyone at the track was panicking now. The cars had halted to a stop. Some skidded out of control and smashed into the side of the track.
6:35
Kanna turned the lights back on to all of Las Vegas. Again, she became busy with her laptop, changing the connection of the Traffic Control Center to her.
"Are you okay?" Naraku asked Kikyo and Kagome.
"Yeah…" Kagome faked with good acting.
But Kikyo was really shaken. "That really scared me! What's going on?"
"I'm getting a bad feeling about this…"
6:40
Immediately, the three Solaras sped out of the casino and into the street. They wove around traffic as Kanna changed all lights to green to light the way. As they came up on LAS VEGAS BOULEVARD, Inuyasha turned to the Four Seasons Hotel as Sango and Koga continued to drive down the road. They turned right onto TROPICANA and then right again at PARADISE. The took a slight right turn toward the terminals before going straight onto WAYNE NEWTON BOULEVARD and the airport.
(Thank you to Map Quest for the directions. Ha ha…)
Back with Inuyasha, he parked the car in the front as Jakotsu was waiting there. Inuyasha handed him the two bags of cash before driving to the airport with the help of Kanna. Reaching the armored plane, Inuyasha drove his car up the positioned ramp with the other cars. Sesshomaru and Kagura were already in the cockpit and ready for take off.
"All we need to wait for is Kagome to arrive." Inuyasha said.
6:50
"This place is beginning to get a little dangerous." Naraku replied as he stared at the anxious people. The race was no longer going on, but instead, they other drivers were now helping the paramedics with the other drivers. "Kikyo! Kagome! Go back to the hotel before we all get trampled." He ordered.
Kikyo was still visibly shaken so Naraku grabbed her upper arm and guided her outside the track. "What about you, Naraku?" she asked.
"Something tells me that was no ordinary blackout. It has to be the work of someone." He answered coldly.
"But what if it really was a natural blackout? The power company could have fixed it immediately." Kagome presumed.
"It was not a natural blackout. A natural blackout does not last for exactly five minutes!" He yelled. Naraku let go of his girlfriend's arm and stormed off to the elevator.
Kikyo stumbled back and nearly fell if her cousin had not caught her. "What has gotten into him?" Kikyo asked.
"Who knows?" Kagome lied. "Come on." Kagome gently led her cousin up to their rooms in the hotel. Kikyo collapsed on her bed once they got there. "You're still a little stunned, Kikyo. Would you like some water?"
"That would be great, Kagome."
Kagome went into the bathroom and filled up a glass with water from the faucet. Slyly, Kagome ripped open a package of the sleeping powder and poured it in the glass. She gently stirred it so the powder would dissolve. Finally, Kagome handed the cup to her unsuspecting cousin.
Kikyo drank half of the glass before setting it down on her bedside table. "Wow, that really was refreshing…but…it's making me really sleepy…" the woman groaned. Her head fell upon her pillow in a deep sleep. Kagome stuffed the empty package into her pocket with a smile.
"Sweet dreams, Kikyo." Kagome whispered. She gently kissed her cousin's forehead. "For once, I've managed to surpass you. Let's see how you like it when you find out I've finished first for once."
Kagome grabbed her purse and left the hotel for the airport.
7:00
Naraku shoved the clear glass doors out of his way as he stepped into the security center of his hotel. On the floor were his guards lying unconscious. Viciously, Naraku kicked the side of one of his men. "What are you doing? Get up!" The man did not respond. Naraku began looking around. He glared at the monitor screens when he saw the real picture of his vault.
The vault door was blown to pieces, his guards were passed out, and all the money was cleaned off the racks and gone. "What is this? My money…it's gone!" Naraku cried out angrily. At this moment, Bankotsu and his men stepped out from the shadows.
"Nice to see you again, Naraku. Still an asshole, I see." Bankotsu snickered.
"Bankotsu," Naraku snarled, "still a dumbass, I see." He glared at Bankotsu and his men. "So you finally found me. It took you long enough."
"Yes, it did. To tell you the truth, it would have been a few more years before I tracked your disgusting stench if I wasn't tipped off."
Naraku's eyes grew big. "You were tipped off! By who?"
The leader of the Shichinintai laughed. "The same person who just robbed you of your money. And thanks to him, we now have the money you stole from us before, as well as your head."
("Oh yes. That man was a fine figure if I must say." Replied Jakotsu.)
Ginkotsu and Kykotsu punched Naraku fiercly in the stomach, sending him to the ground in pain. "You're lucky we're not killing you here on the spot. I'm sure you'll be very happy dying in the same place where you killed our brothers." Bankotsu answered.
He and Jakotsu tied up Naraku and gagged him. "Let's go home, shall we?" Jakotsu said excitedly. As Naraku was thrown into the trunk of a taxi, Bankotsu looked up at the dark sky. He could see planes taking off to their destinations. One of those planes now carried Inuyasha and his friend with all that cash.
Epilogue
(From Inuyasha's point of view)
So we all got away with the best heist ever. We are all so much richer than before, no doubt. Now I guess you could say this is a happy ending. My friends and I spilt up the cash of course. We landed the plane in Venice, Italy for a refuel. We all stayed there for only a couple of days just to have fun and relax and enjoy our newfound wealth and fortune. (As if we weren't wealthy before from our previous jobs.) And following Kagome's plan, we all had that drink for celebration at the hotels. Afterwards, we boarded the plane again and took off for Japan. From here, we all just spilt up from here but still maintained our friendship over long distance and frequent visits.
Sesshomaru and Kagura put in all the money into Rin's future college fund, but they did use some to remodel their mansion. Rin's just happy to be living with her parents and having fun.
Kanna used part of her share to find her brother. She eventually found him studying abroad in London, England. Kanna rejoined Hakudoushi and ended up traveling with him around the world. Kanna has retired from hacking into computers now. Instead of hacking, she's now designing them!
Shippo went back to school with all his cash. He was suspended at school for blowing up the principal's office of course, but it was smooth sailing afterwards. As a regular kid, Shippo just spent his money on video games and all the high tech electronics.
Miroku and Sango used half of their share to begin a family. They now have three kids with another on along the way. Miroku always said he wanted a big family. The other half was used by Miroku to begin his own power repair company. It has been very successful so far so let's see how well it will be in a couple of years.
Kohaku used his cash to see the world. Soon enough, he got bored of hopping on a plane and going somewhere new. (Honestly, who wouldn't?) The last plane he took was back to Japan to help his sister take care of her three (soon to be four) kids. Kohaku obviously understands the saying of, "Home is where the heart is."
Koga and Ayame used about one-fourth of their money for their wedding. They are now living happily together in a mansion. They are even thinking of beginning a family soon.
Kagome used her money to become the head chef of her new restaurant. Her restaurant is everywhere in the whole world and serve only the best of food. Her place is always packed with people who want a piece of her food.
And me? I used mine to become a manager in the music industry. Right now, every budding artist wants me for as his or her executive. And I of course got what I wanted, and that is Kagome. At Koga and Ayame's wedding, we saw each other again, and I asked her out. At the moment, we are engaged. Money may make the whole world go round, but not everything can be bought by it. All you need is some guts and realization on what you want the most and sure enough, you'll get it. I know I have it now.
The End.
A/N: And here you go! I told you I'd get this last chapter up soon! I'm so proud of myself! Yay! Inuyasha's Eleven is official over with NO sequel so don't ask. Don't even hint. I am now off to do my other stories so stay tuned if you want. Thank you all who read this story!
