Oooo only a few chapters left!

"Ahh! How could this happen!"

Mura stomped around and paced the cloud. "How could she do it! She shouldn't have even been able to get the unicorn hair first of all! The lin's roar was pure luck. Now she has the song of a mermaid and silk from a sea dragon's cocoon! Why didn't I make it harder!"

" I don't think it mattered what you told her to do. This girl can do anything she has to. She has the purest of hearts, she should have been made a full angel a long time ago."

"Keiji you were not allowed to help her! This was her mission. You broke the rules." she smirked. "Mura you of all angels should know that what I did could not have helped unless Kagome was really able to do them. I opened the gates to Serenity, but she wouldn't have been accepted unless she had a pure heart. I gave her the power to be a lion, but she could not become one unless she truly wanted too. She protected the one she loved with her power. Everything I did was only partly finished. Kagome had to finish it by herself," he said cooly.

"You disgust me," she growled. "And you disgust me. But I have learned to keep my mouth shut. Do not know how you ever became an angel. But I will see to it that you will not be for long."

The camp fire crackled and sparks flew in every which way. The stars above glittered in the dark sky above. Kagome sighed.

"So are we done with this 'adventure' thing?" Inuyasha asked, not really caring about the answer. He could care less if they could do this the rest of their lives, he was alone with Kagome. What more could he ask for?

"I have one more thing," she said softly, avoiding eye contact. "You ok?" he said a little worried, though he'd never admit it. "I'm fine," she said and looked up at the stars. "How many do you think there are?" she asked, changing the topic. "How many what?" Kagome looked back at him. "Stars." She looked back up. "Millions," she thought aloud. "Keh, only a million? There's billions."

Ok now's a good time Kagome. You an do this. Just tell him about your next task. Kikyo had it coming anyway. But what will he say? How does he feel about me?

"Inuyasha, do you like me?" she asked and focused her attention back on him. "Yeah," he said and looked away, slightly blushing. "How much?" she asked. That question threw him off guard. "W-what?" he stuttered, by now his was bright red. "How much?" she asked, her eyes wide with curiosity. "Um, a lot," he mumbled. "How much do you like Kikyo?" she asked.

Inuyasha's face turned back to normal color. Inuyasha growled. "What does it matter to you?" he snarled. Kagome stood up and stomped her foot. "It matters a lot to me, if you would ever notice!" she snapped and turned her back on him. "I have to know, which one do you prefer?" she turned back to him, her expretion gone from angry to sad. "It's very important to me, and I need to know now."

"I-I don't know," he said sadly. Kagome dipped her head in sorrow. "I understand," she said, looking down at her feet. Kagome leaned down and picked up her bag. "I have a task to complete."

"Wait Kagome!" he said and grabbed her hand. Kagome pulled her hand out of his grasp. She looked back at him, and did something very unexpected. She leaned in and kissed him, right on the lips. But as she fast as she had done it, she pulled away. "I'm sorry Inuyasha, but I can never see you again, or anyone else. There is a place I must go now."

Kagome's wings flapped, but instead of flying off her image slowly faded away. Kagome appeared on a cloud, Keiji sitting next to her. Mura had a smug grin on her face. "You have come to us missing on task," she smirked. "No, I have finished. I cannot kill Kikyo. It isn't right. She still has someone to love, who loves her back. I know now that I can never be an angel, or have one. What will my punishment be? Death? Then kill me."

"No," said Keiji. "You have proven to us more now than ever that your heart is pure. The willingness to kill the lifeless women would have ruined your chances. You have succeeded." "What!" snapped Mura.

Suddenly the clouds faded, the sky as well. Kagome, Keiji, and Mura were all standing in the forest, light by sunlight. "Mura the decision is not yours. You are no longer an angel. I have discovered the truth about you. No demon such as yourself will ever be able to change."

Mura's wings faded, along with her glow and halo. Her gown changed back into her old clothes, which had been a brown shirt and skirt. She had pointed ears and brown boots. Behind her was a short, stubby tail. "Mura of the bear demon tribe you may walk against the earth once more, but this time when you die your entrance to Heaven will be denied." Mura snarled, showing her fangs. Bear demon! So she was the bear attacking me!

"Keiji you have no right to do this to me!" she snapped. "You should be lucky that I'm letting you live at all." Suddenly and wind surrounded her, and then where she had stood was a massive brown bear.

Keiji's wings spread out and he crouched down in a snarl. "Don't you dare touch either one of us or I will tear of limb from limb!" he growled. The bear demon glared at Kagome, but then turned and lumbered away. Keiji relaxed again, he licked at one of his wings. "I'm sorry you had to put up with that wench. I'm sorry about all of this," he said and looked back at her.

"Kikyo's soul was taken away already anyway. I'm sorry to say this." Kagome bowed her head respectfully. "But she didn't deserve to die," she said, not rasing her voice to question his authority. "Kagome some things are ment to be. She had a life before, true she did have love, but this is not the Kikyo that lived before. She is a heartless wandering, soulless body. It had to be done."

"What will happen to me?" she asked quietly. "I have agreed to be your guardian angel. I can follow you threw both times." Just as he said that Kagome's wings disappeared and her halo was gone a moment later. "I just have one request." "Yes?" Kagome smiled, willing to do anything for him. "Will you continue to care for my son like you did before? I only wish that Shippo could be happy without his birth parents." Kagome gasped. "You're Shippo's father!"

Then another image appeared sitting next to Keiji. Another fox, only slightly smaller with a lighter color coat. Keiji licked at her ear and she purred. "Shippo's mother," Kagome whispered in shock. The fox dipped its head. Then they both faded away.

"Then, it's all over?"

No, it is not all over! I know you guys were dying to know the answer. I think I will only have one more chapter though. Please review and tell me what you think!
