Well, people, sad to say this is the last chapter...unless you're good people and would like to see what happened between Yoko, Kuronue, and Kagome after she caught up with both of them. I haven't written that up but I've got some ideas. If you enjoy this fic and are dying to find out her punishment for them, please review. Its the only way I'll write it. Anyway this is sort of a conclusion and I'm sorry that it doesn't really involve Kagome, it is merely to explain why Kagome isn't dead...and who's behind her revival. You'll also find out what happens to Inuyasha. Nothing too painful but you'll see. And yes, he's still alive. Anyway I hope every one had fun reading this as it was most enjoyable to write. And I actually finished it! Yay!

The Evil of Arch Angels
Chapter 9 (Epilogue)
In a large, spacious office high above the earth a beautiful man or more importantly, an arch angel, sat impassively watching one of his previous angels tear off through her new home in hot pursuit of her new roommates. His face never wavered from his mask of indifference as a second man entered the room, and walked slowly up to his desk. The markings on the arch angel's face glowed as bright as ever as he gazed down at his favorite angel, for now ignoring his brother and content to watch his favorite angel live free.
He sat staring out the large window, waiting until the other man spoke, knowing it wouldn't be long before his brother's patience ran out.
"You...let her live," the second man said, almost accusingly. His golden eyes were narrowed as he was forced to speak to the back of his brother's chair instead of his face. Cocky bastard; always so arrogant, thinking just because he was an arch angel and the head one at that, that he was better than the rest.
"Yes…Inuyasha," the beautiful man answered simply.
Both men were silent until the second one couldn't hold it in anymore. Not only was the curiosity getting to him, but the anger was as well. "Why!"
Finally the arch angel let a small smile flit over his face, barely noticeable to the naked eye. "Because out of all my angels she was the only one who ever achieved the impossible." He got up and began pacing in front of his desk, his cold eyes meeting that of his brothers. "She single handedly made a demon, a being shrouded in darkness and death, fall in love with a single touch. She risked her own life and existence to save the life of a being she never believed she would have. And do you know why she did so?"
His brother looked saddened. Yes, he knew why she saved that damn demon.
The arch angel continued. "She didn't save him because it was the right thing to do. She didn't save him because it was her duty and nor did she save him because she felt obligated."
He turned away and glanced out of his window again, enjoying watching her scream at both her new house mates, ranting at both and thoroughly chastising them for being perverts and the like. If he were the type, he would have laughed upon seeing her mate cut her off in the middle of the rant and drag her off to his bed, the silver kitsune shaking his head before following after, perhaps to join in their activities. Perhaps not; you can never tell with that one. He would know, considering the kitsune was his charge.
"She saved him because she loved him. I respect her actions. She is an angel who knows her own heart. She went after what she wanted even at the risk of losing her life. That is honorable and I chose to let her live the life she's always wanted. She is now free to be whom she wants to be."
The second man's head bowed in silence as he registered all he'd heard. It was amazing watching his normally cold brother behave so human like and it irked him that out of all the angels, including himself, she was the only one who was ever held in high respect. But Kagome always had that effect on people. That's what drew him to her in the first place and what made his brother respect her so much.
"You let me live as well," Inuyasha stated bluntly, more than asked. "Why?"
The arch angel's smirk fell and his face froze into a blank stare. "Although I cannot condone your actions against my angel and her mate, there are still worse things than death. Make no mistake; you will be punished severely for your actions. Not only did you endanger his life, but you almost inadvertently caused her death as well. Whether that was your intention or not, you still broke the rules."
Noting his brother about to interrupt he continued on. "Make no mistake, my angel broke the rules as well and because of that she is no longer a full creature of light. Her soul is covered in darkness now and her life will by no means be easy. She knew that, though, and chose the path lain before her and she will not life in regret."
"As for your punishment, I have to think on that for awhile longer...perhaps you'll be given desk duty for the rest of eternity…
His brother's face whitened with dread and he turned to leave before a question popped up in his mind. "Just out of curiosity, brother, but who did you assign to guard both Kagome and her mate now?" His older brother's face split into a deadly smirk as he grinned.
"Sango shall be Kagome's protector now. She was Kagome's best friend and when she heard the news she jumped at the chance, seeing as how her charge recently died."
"Feh, I wonder how that happened," Inuyasha muttered knowing how Sango was.
"And Miroku shall be Kuronue's charge."
His mouth dropped open this time and he tripped over his own feet. "No way!" He shouted. "Miroku; Sango's previously, just newly deceased, charge? Sango hates that guy. She's going to be pissed at him, not to mention pissed at you for assigning him such a role."
His brother smirked evilly. "Yes, it will be most enjoyable seeing both of their reactions. No doubt she'll throw a fit and start a riot!" He chuckled making his brother roll his eyes.
"How the elders ever assigned you arch angel is beyond me," Inuyasha remarked. "If you ask me you should have been born a fallen angel and sent down below to sit in Lucifer's spot long ago." He left the office shaking his head at the wrongness in the world leaving a half amused arch angel behind him.
When he was gone the arch angel turned back to look out his window and then shut the curtains as fast as he could. As much as he loved his little favorite angel, he did not want to see that! Despite himself he smirked and sat down in his chair.
I gave you a chance, angel, I hope you're happy, he said to himself.
Kagome was just falling asleep again, squashed in between her now two mates when she heard the arch angel's voice break into her thoughts. A small, peaceful smile spread across her lips as she fell into sleep, her last thoughts were thank you...Sesshomaru.
Hahahahahhhahahaha! Now who was expecting me to make Sesshomaru an angel. Ha, it was great! I know that there is no way in hell that Sesshomaru could ever fall into the angelic category...except for maybe his looks...so heavenly. But wasn't it great knowing that even as an angel Sesshomaru still had the power? Yoh, one point I'd like to point out. No, Sesshomaru is not God. He's an angel, an arch angelb to be exact. He's sort of like the head arch angel too if you didn't catch Inuyasha's comments. See even as an angel Sesshomaru can still be evil. Anyway Sesshomaru is the one who makes the rules and calls the shots. As you can see he decided to let Kagome live and even Inuyasha. As for Inuyasha's punishment I really didn't feel like killing him off, even though I hate tha hanyou. But as you can see maybe he'll be on desk duty for the rest of his life. Anyway I hope everyone was surprised at the sudden turn of events and once again if you review I might be persuaded to write that bonus chapter of Kagome after she catches her mate and Yoko. So, please respond. I'm glad everyone liked the last chapter too. I made Yoko slightly out of character I think, but then again he's a kitsune they are enigmas.
