Contestant Five

)-(

Kagura made a point of kicking the sleeping hanyou awake before sitting down and shoving him from her seat, ignoring his cry of protest. "You know what? Good luck. He's not worth his fortune."

Rin swallowed, now uncertain she wanted to step off the bus. "Thanks…"

Naraku gave her a thumbs-up from behind the camera.

- Once sued for over-talking

- Multiple S&M Victim

- In the Bible it is surely written, if thou loveth Jesus, thou shall kill a kitten.

Rin thought seemed a good thing to write down at the time.

Sesshoumaru was waiting for her in all his aloof, bastardly glory. He watched her approach, taking in her features… or lack there of. She was rather plain really. More cute than sexy, average curves, average assets, average weight, a bit on the short side, brown hair, brown eyes, undoubtedly human…

Still, her smile was somewhat enduring in a sick puppy kind of way. "You're the last one."

"Yes," she confirmed slowly.

"Then you'll have to do."

And as fate would have it, she chose him over the $1 she'd acquired in her thirty seconds since leaving the bus. So, in the end, it was happily ever after. Inuyasha lost his bet, Naraku had a sudden heart attack that instantly killed him and simultaneously freed Kagura, Kagome married the hanyou, Kikyou was molded into a shapelier woman and became America's Next Top Model, and Sesshoumaru married Rin after getting her mouth permanently wielded shut.

Yea, he supposed this was as happy as it would get - at least until Rin hit thirty.

"Sickening thought, really," Sesshoumaru concurred.
