New Devil

Final Chapter

Kagome stretched as she got out of bed, she grabbed a towel and head towards the bathroom. The phone rang, she listened to see if anyone else was going to pick it up, hearing it ring two more times, she turned and went back into her room and lifted the object to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Hi Kagome, it's Sango, I was wondering if you're busy today?"

"No not really"

"Would you mind coming over for a bit? I have a surprise for everyone"

"Oh, ok I'll be there in half an hour, bye" Kagome hung up than wondered to herself.

---

Miroku sat next to Sango, who eagerly awaited everyone to sit down as well. Once everyone had come the two smiled and Sango held her left hand out, mostly towards Kagome.

Kagome gasped at seeing the diamond ring on Sango's ring finger,

"You two are getting married? That's wonderful" Kagome jumped up and hugged her older friend, "Oh I'm so happy for you two!" the two girls disappeared into another room, their laughter and excitement still heard throughout the apartment.

"I'm surprised Miroku, I really never though you could finally settle down and marry someone. Good luck" Inuyasha leaned back in his chair.

"When are you going to ask Kagome to marry you, Inuyasha?" Shippo turned to the ebony haired teen with curiosity.

"Huh? I'm only 16, I can't marry her. Besides… we're not even going out" Inuyasha mumbled the rest to himself

Miroku chuckled then patted Shippo's head,

"Inuyasha's to afraid to even hold Kagome's hand, no less asking her to marry him."

"Shut up you lecher!" Inuyasha threw a pillow then stood up, "I'm not afraid to do anything"

"Oh? Then prove it, kiss Kagome." Miroku smirked with a devious plot forming in his head.

"Fine" Inuyasha crossed his arms; when Kagome and Sango came back into the room Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and pulled her up to him.

"I-Inuyasha…?" a blush crept over Kagome's face as Inuyasha kissed her softly, and then let her go. Still stunned, she stood there for a moment.

"Well you proved me wrong, here's your 2 bucks" Miroku pulled out a wallet, hiding his smile.

"What? You were betting over me?" Kagome glared at Inuyasha

"Huh, n-no I--" Kagome slapped Inuyasha then walked to the door

"I'm sorry to leave so early, Sango. I'll call you later so we can go over wedding plans"

"Thanks for coming Kagome" Sango hugged her friend then closed the door behind her.

"Miroku you bastard!" Inuyasha growled then ran to catch up to Kagome.

Sango looked at Miroku with curiosity then sighed,

"You could've done that a different way you know"

"I know, but it's more dramatic this way" Miroku laughed standing, he walked over to Sango and placed a gentle kiss over her lips.

Shippo looked away once the two kissed, for one he was confused about Inuyasha and Kagome, and two he was just a tad envious of the two adults.

"Kagome wait!" Inuyasha easily caught up to Kagome; she turned around and glared at him, tears brimming at the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to bet on you."

"Why'd you kiss me then?" Kagome looked into Inuyasha's light colored eyes

"Because I… I um…" Inuyasha scratched the back of his head, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. His eyes widened as Kagome kissed his cheek,

"I like you to" she smiled a little embarrassed until Inuyasha lifted her chin for another kiss.

"What do you think you're doing?"

The two looked over to spot Koga; he stood glaring at Inuyasha, who growled at the interruption.

"Kagome is my--"

"Your what?" Ayame appeared out of nowhere, shooting icicles at Koga

"Urm… oh no! There's a bug on your shoulder!" Koga pointed to Ayame's shoulder, as she looked down, he ran for it.

Kagome laughed at the scene; Inuyasha looked at her cheerful expression and smiled. He turned Kagome's face back towards his and bent down to kiss her.

Rin, Souta, Kohaku, and Souten all played in the park, though Kohaku was actually just sitting in the shade of a wide tree.

Kagome's mother was talking to another woman as the younger children played (Kohaku's actually 13, Rin's 11, Souten's 8, Souta's 12, oh and Shippo's 10)

Rin plucked a few small purple flowers and ran over to Kohaku; she held the flowers out to him and smiled.

"These are for you"

"Thank you" Kohaku took the flowers while Rin sat next to him. She hummed and rocked side to side. Kohaku watched the younger girl then, though slowly and barely noticeable, a small smile formed on his lips.

Souten threw another mud ball at Souta, who ducked behind part of the playground set. Souta threw one of his own mud creations, covering part of Souten's face and chest with it.

"Ha, ha, bulls-eye!" Souta ran around the playground area in victory.

Souten smirked and went to pick up another clump of mud (I have no clue where they're getting it all but oh well). When she bent down she noticed a pair of blue shoes, she looked up to see Shippo standing, now in front of her.

"You're all muddy" Shippo used part of his sleeve and whipped the drying dirt from Souten's face. He looked at her then though to himself, remembering how Miroku had done it, Shippo leaned forward, with a determined expression, and pecked Souten's on the lips.

Both blushed, Souten's jaw dropped as she stared at the brown haired boy. Shippo smiled proudly until his shirt was covered in mud, Souten rubbed the dirt in and giggled. Souten quickly ran the opposite way as Shippo grabbed a handful of mud and chased after her, Souta joined in.

A pale hand tightened its grip around another as a dark haired woman pushed another being from her body. She screamed then breathed heavily as the baby finally came out.

"It's a girl" one of the nurses smiled at the couple, holding the baby and cleaning the blood from his head.

"Sesshomaru… can we name her Kaede?" the dark haired woman looked to her partner. His silver hair shimmered as he nodded as yes.

"Yes, Kikyo, we can name her Kaede"

(Whew taking a short break… my shoulder hurts. I know some of you may be a little disappointed at what I've done, and some may be confused. Just bear with me a little longer please.)

The morning bell for school rang and everyone ran to their seats as the teacher came into class. Mrs. Midoriko had her black hair knotted into a long braid; she wore her usual white and red school outfit. She turned to the class and smiled,

"Class let me introduce our newest student, Onigumo Naraku. He's new to the town so please be considerate." When she finished an older teen came into the room. He had dark brown hair that fell to his waist, and though he wore the regular school uniform, his seemed to look different worn on him. A few girls whispered to each other,

"Wow he's so pretty! I wish I had hair like that"

Kagome looked at the somewhat older teen then looked at Inuyasha, who was asleep and about to tip backwards in his chair. Once he finally did all but Kagome and Onigumo laughed.

Onigumo kept his gaze on a dark haired girl. He had felt her eyes on him a moment ago, until they turned to the clumsy white haired boy in the back.

When the lunch bell finally rang everyone rushed out of class with their friends. Kagome waited for Inuyasha, who was talking to Mrs. Midoriko. When he came out the two headed towards the lunchroom, meeting up with Ayame and Koga on the way.

The four friends carried their lunches outside and ate on the grass.

Ayame forced Koga to be fed by her; she then smiled happily when he obeyed. Koga sweat dropped as Ayame fed him another spoonful of chocolate pudding, but smiled mentally as she licked some of the pudding from his lips.

"Ms. Higurashi"

Kagome looked up at Onigumo, who bowed his head politely

"Hi Onigumo, please just call me Kagome. Wanna set with us?"

"Um, ok" Onigumo sat down next to Kagome. The two talked and Kagome offered him some of her lunch seeing he didn't have one of his own.

A growl rose from Inuyasha's throat as he watched Onigumo scoot closer to Kagome, eating an apple.

"Kagome" Inuyasha leaned closer to Kagome who turned when her name was called. When her head was completely turned, Inuyasha kissed her, causing blood to rush to her cheeks.

"I-Inuyasha…!" Kagome gasped

Ayame giggled at the shy couple then noticed Onigumo glaring at Inuyasha.

"Hey Kagome, can I talk to you for a moment?" without receiving an answer, Ayame took Kagome's hand and pulled her away from the group.

"Is something wrong Ayame?"

Ayame's green eyes locked onto Kagome's coffee colored ones.

"Be careful, things can get a bit dangerous when two guys are in love with the same girl."

"Huh?" Kagome looked at her friend, confused

"Both Inuyasha and that Onigumo guy are in love with you, Kagome"

"What are you talking about? Inuyasha and I just started dating yesterday, and Onigumo doesn't even know me."

"It doesn't matter, love happens quickly. That's how I knew Koga was the one, the very moment I laid eyes on him" Ayame daydreamed and the two headed back to the other three just as lunch ended.

During the rest of class Kagome noticed both Inuyasha and Onigumo's eyes on her.

When class ended, Kagome didn't wait for Inuyasha to catch up to her. But before she could get passed the school gates, her name was called, not by Inuyasha though. Kagome turned and waited as Kagura caught up to her.

"Hey Kagura, what's up?"

"Ugh this is completely unlike me but…" Kagura scrunched her nose as she asked, "Kagome I want you to introduce me to Onigumo Naraku."

"Oh, do you like him?"

"Well of course you ditz, why else would I want to be introduced?"

"Well if you're going to be rude…"

"I'm sorry, sorry, ok? I'm just a bit edge and all" Kagura apologized putting her hands up in defense

"Alright, come sit with us at lunch tomorrow. I'll introduce you to him then"

"Thanks Higurashi" Kagura waved and ran back over to her colorful haired friends.

Kagome turned back towards the gate and disappeared behind a corner as she walked down the sidewalk. It didn't take long until Inuyasha was next to her, both silent, until Inuyasha finally asked,

"Why are you so mad? Did I do something wrong?"

Kagome shook her head no.

"Then what?" Inuyasha stopped, grabbing Kagome's arm, as gently as he could.

She looked to the ground then straight forward, passed Inuyasha.

"I'm not sure. I've just been feeling kind of odd lately."

"Odd? Like hurt?" Inuyasha scanned Kagome, making sure there were no injuries. As his eyes ran over her she blushed a near red and quickly turned away.

"What's wrong?"

"I said nothing. Just stop staring at me like that…" Kagome's blush lowered; Inuyasha held onto her shoulder and spun her around to face him again.

"I can't. I don't want to take my eyes off of you, I never want to let go of you." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a loving kiss, she relaxed and melted with his kiss.

The next day at school Kagura never came to sit with Kagome and the rest, neither did Onigumo. Later on Kagome saw Kagura and Onigumo talking by the gates, when lunch was over they didn't return to class.

When the last school bell rang, signaling the end to a long week, Kagome and Inuyasha walked home together. They passed by Kagura and Onigumo who were passionately kissing behind a tree.

Kagome looked away, thoughts shoving their way into Kagome's mind. Her hand tightened around Inuyasha's and he gave hers a light squeeze. She looked up at him and smiled, relaxed.

I'm soooo very sorry if I've disappointed you with this last chapter. I know it's not long but I had to remove a few details and shuffle some things so that I could finish this last chapter by tonight.

Here's an explanation on what has happened- the Shikon no Tama collided all four worlds. Now everyone lives normally, remembering nothing of any world except for earth. They all live as normal humans beings now. I put couples together and tried to put just enough romance in it, hopefully nothing is too cheesy.

I'm sorry if these last chapters haven't been the greatest. I wanted to finish this story though, and this is how I wanted to finish it, even if it's not the most descriptive. I might make a sequel but it's doubtful because I wanna go and fix my other stories and begin new ones, maybe even think on a sequel for Vampire Hunters. Nothings for sure here. I'll see everyone next time I hope, well not see but you know what I mean. Thanks for your support and for anyone who has read this story to the end!
