Last chappie peoples! What will happen? Try reading it!
Kagome scuffed along threw the mountains, trying to find a way home. It was time to go back to her time for a while. The mountains took less time going up with Mura than going down alone. Mura wold never be angel again. It made some sense, but then again we could all use a second chance. They would always be friend though. Not like her and Sango, but close.
Toshi and Toki? She would probably never see them again. It hurt her heart, but some things have to end up some ways. They would at least have each other. It's better than, well, being alone. . . . . .
Tired and weary of the lengthy walking, Kagome sat down to rest. She sighed from exhaustion and looked around. Trees surrounded her, and she could hear the trickle of stream water in the distance. It was a normal forest, then why did she feel so empty?
Kagome reached up to fiddle with her halo, but there was nothing there. A flick of her wings would have companied this feeling, but they weren't there either. It was such a difficult feeling, having her powers taken away. She had grown so used to them there. They were a part of her, but now gone. Almost like losing part of her body. She knew something was missing, but it could never be replaced.
No animals came up to her any more, she couldn't feel the life forces of the plants and sea. Everything was so blank. Almost like her senses were now so much duller.
As she came nearer to the river, it got hotter and hotter. She sighed, like she had been a lot lately, and decided that a swim would be refreshing. She sat down on the river bank and took off her shoes and socks. She hastily jumped into the river, not caring how much noise she made.
The water was ice, she shivered subconsciously. It was deep, too deep to touch, but she could dive down to the bottom. Mostly likely ten feet. Her toes brushed against some fish. Kagome's eyes clouded from the water and she went to rub them off. When she opened them again she saw Hoshi the unicorn drinking at the shore. Toshi and Toki were swimming next to her. Mura was even sitting on the bank. But when she blinked the images disappeared and she was alone yet again.
She couldn't stop the tears from falling, it was to sad. Kagome dove back underwater and stayed there until she ran out of air.
When she surfaced she felt something brush against her leg. Assuming it was a fish, she let it pass. Then it happened again. And again. And again. Instinctively, she kicked. Then something pulled her down with incredible force. Kagome would have screamed, but she was already under.
Her eyes opened under water. Everything was dark and silent. She looked around and saw a flipped swim past in a glance. Fast, not a good sign. Again, she swam something swim by. Green scales, it was something that lived in the water. It was big to. Then it swam closer to her, not bothering to keep away. It was not afraid.
Sea monster! Oh God I don't have my arrows or wings! Kagome swam to the surface as fast as she could. She took one big, gulping breath and screamed once before she was tugged down again. This time she got a closer look at her enemy. The mother sea monster before? How did it get here! Logic didn't matter now. She swam away, but it was too fast.
The creature got in front of her in a moment. She balled up her fits and punched it in the nose, it works for sharks it would have to work for a sea monster. Success, the monster shrieked and drew back. Kagome had to use the moment of its pain to her advantage. She speeded threw the water as fast as she could, but she knew it would not be enough.
Closer and closer to the shore, but how close could she make it? Ten feet, eight feet, six, five, three. She stood up, the weight of the water slowing her down. Then the worst, she tripped and splashed back in. Only three feet of water, but the monster was already lumbering towards her. I could out run it if I can get to land! Apparently it knew this as well, so it lept at her with impressive force.
Kagome rolled the other way to avoid it. The sea monster missed and landed where she was only a moment ago. Panting hard, she stood up and tried to make a run for it. But the creature's tail slapped into her, sending her a few feet backwards. It dashed for her and slashed with its claws. In a blink of an eye it was right in front of her. Kagome was so close she could see her reflection in its eyes.
It opened its mouth to take a bite, but suddenly jerked back. Kagome saw its eyes widen in fear, but it would not give up its prey so easily. Whatever had pulled it back was strong, but the monster grabbed Kagome's leg in its jaws, bringing her back as well. She was back in ten feet again, right where they started. Now not only did the monster have the advantage, there was another enemy on the loose.
Anger flared threw the monster's eyes, fear in Kagome's. It lunged, the only way she could avoid was to go deeper. Deeper she swam, the monster darted after her. It was growing impatient. Bubbles escaped from Kagome's lungs, not much time left. The claws swiped across her side, she tried to scream. Water filled her lungs. I'm going to die! Then she saw the monster's eyes widen in fear again.
Suddenly the water became blurry from blood. The monster was dead, and soon was Kagome. She tried to swim out, higher and higher she swam. Her vision was shaky, she could pass out at any moment. Kagome was out of air and water was full in her lungs. She could almost see the surface, but her strength was out. She stopped swimming, giving up.
Suddenly something yanked her out of the water and tossed her onto the shore. Immediently she coughed out all the river water. Panting hard, she looked up to see who, or what, pulled her out.
Standing next to her was the best image was could ever imagine. "Can't stay out of trouble, can you?" asked a voice that she could recognize anywhere.
"Inuyasha!" she shirked and stood up to hug him tightly.
But after everything that happened she was to weak, her knees gave way and she fell back down. Inuyasha caught her arm and steadied her on her feet before she hit the ground. "You can be pretty difficult to find. And why do you smell like wolf?" he growled the last part. She giggled and launched herself in his arms. Inuyasha must have known she would do that because he did not fall back.
Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. "I missed you so much," she said, but it was muffled from snuggling into him. "I thought I was never going to see you again," he said, repeating her words from before. "A lot has happened," she said. "Kikyo is gone," she said in a sad tone. "I know," he replied. "Keiji told me."
Kagome looked up at him. "Did he tell you to find me?" she asked. "Feh, like I need to be told to do that," he said in his usual tone. Kagome smiled and hugged him tighter. "I never want to be without you again," she whispered. Inuyasha's ears flicked, picking up her soft words. Kagome giggled and reached up for them. Inuyasha smirked and they flattened back on his head.
"Come on," she pouted. "No chance wench," he smirked. Inuyasha twitched his ears again to taunt her. Kagome reached out for them again, but she couldn't reach them. Inuyasha jumped away, still smirked.
"No fair!" she called out. "Ha! What really is fair!" he yelled and went to jumped again. "I'll tell you what's fair!" she called out and ran up to him before he lept away. "Sit!" she yelled. In a flash Inuyasha fell to the ground. Before he could get back up Kagome sat right on top of him and rubbed his ears. Inuyasha growled and flipped her under him. "Try to sit me again," he said. "Then you could see how it feels," he said with a smug grin.
Kagome giggled again and reached up to rub his ears. Inuyasha flicked them away once again. "Keh, no way," he said in a playful tone. Kagome pushed out her bottom lip in a pouty face. "Fine, but just this once," he growled. Kagome squealed with joy and rubbed his soft white ears. Inuyasha closed his eyes and purred softly. "Ha I knew you liked it," she smiled. "So?" he smirked. Kagome dropped her arms, closed her eyes, and let out a sigh of content. Finally everything was ok again.
"Inuyasha," she said opening her eyes after a moment. "Yeah?" he asked. "I never thanked you for saving my life." "Don't I all the time?" he said with a smug grin. "Kinda like a guardian angel, don't you think?" she laughed. "Maybe. . . . . ." he trailed off, looking in another direction. "Inuyasha?" she asked again. "What now wench?" he asked playfully.
"I love you," she smiled. "Well," he started, "I think I'm in love with you too." Kagome wrapped her arms around him in delight. Then, though not expectantly, Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her passionately. Kagome's lips melted into his and time itself stopped completely.
Things were the way they were supposed to be.
That was absolutely amazing! My best work if I do say so myself. This was, as you know, the last chapter. But there will be an after chapter thing. I forget what it's called. (Sweat drop) Plezzzz review!
