Thank you all so much for reading. I will have one more AN post after this, so if you liked this story READ MY NEXT POST. here is your last chapter, it's short but sweet. Thanks for sticking with me throughout my 1st ever fanfic.
Last chapter:
In the meantime, Inuyasha picked up his brother and as he was walking to his car, called the police to pick up the body, he would make the funeral arrangements so Kagome wouldn't have to. Inuyasha still didn't understand why he was not brought to hell, and why the gremlins had attacked Sesshomaru, maybe they thought it was him…
Currently:
The cherry blossom trees around the cemetery seemed to brighten the place up. It was as beautiful and peaceful as any could be. The gentle breeze blew some of the blossoms around, and as one floated by, Kagome caught it gracefully in her little hand, she looked beautiful today. She wore a black dress that ended just above her knees, it had a light pink ribbon around the waist that tied into a giant bow on the back, the top was straight cut and spaghetti strapped, but that was covered by a shrug the same color as the ribbon. The shrug and ribbon matched the blossoms of the cherry tree beautifully, she pulled out a black handkerchief with a pink lace trim and dabbed it beneath her swollen eyes. He may have been abusive and a bastard through almost all the memories she had of him, but there were those moments, like the one right before he died, that he would be…himself again. He would be the loving father that just wanted his little princess to be happy, the one that would read her bed time stories, the one that would tuck her in and the one that would check to make sure no monsters resided under her bed or in her closet. She missed they days when he would walk her to preschool and kiss her goodbye, the days when he merrily played with her and kissed all her boo boos better. And now there was no way she would ever get those days back, he was gone. And for that, she cried. She cried because she never really got to know her father, she cried for all the times he hurt her, she cried for all the good times she had for him, but most of all, she cried for all the pain that he must have gone through before he died, not physical, but emotional. Kagome understood that the demon he had allowed to possess him was slowly taking over his mind, that's why she could forgive him for all his wrong doings, but that did not save his soul, that did not save his heart. As her sobs grew stronger she felt someone's presence from behind her, it calmed her a bit and she sunk back into their chest as they wrapped their arms around her small frame. She took in the person's smell with a deep breath in, as she exhaled she turned to meet golden eyes. His lips placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and she began sobbing into his rock hard chest. Inuyasha watched as his brother comforted his girlfriend, they were very close, those two, and it didn't bother the hanyou one bit. Inuyasha trusted both of them and knew they had no romantic interest in each other at all, plus Sesshomaru was obsessed with his new girl Rin. They were complete opposites, but they seemed to fit perfectly, and both were entirely indebted to Kagome for setting them up. They had fallen madly in love over the past few months and were planning to get married very soon. Sesshomaru had told the hanyou yesterday of his deal to trade Inuyasha's life with his own to the devil should they save Kagome be saved in time. It seems that after being attacked with multiple sacred sutras the demons of the underworld had given up on taking the Inu-yokai's life. However, today was not a day of celebration, it was a day of mourning, the only people to attend the funeral was the Inu-gang. Kikyo had run off after Naraku's death and no one else would come once they found out what he had done to his daughter. The guests arrived one by one, first was Kaugra, then Sango, then Miroku, then Kouga, and finally Hojo. Inuyasha, Rin, Sesshomaru and Kagome were, of course, already there. The service seemed a blur to the raven-haired beauty. She was unaware of her surroundings and didn't even notice when everyone had left, although every single one of them had given her a hug and their best wishes. She stood alone, still staring at the mound of dirt that covered her father, a headstone above the grave read:
Naraku Higurashi
Husband, Father, Friend, Son.
A good man consumed by evil and in the end was
able to win his internal struggle to see the light.
May 23, 1962-April 18, 2008.
"I love you, daddy," Kagome whispered as she walked away fro the grave, hot tears leaving stains on her smooth cheeks. She plopped down beneath the shade of a Sakura tree(AN: cherry blossom), and hid her face in her knees, wrapping her arms around her legs in a very un-lady-like fashion. She felt another person approach from behind and instantly recognized him by his scent of forest trees and sweet honey, it was intoxicating. But she thought he had left…she should have known better, he would never leave her, that's why she loved him, he was always there for her, no matter what. She began to un-crumple from her ball as he gracefully sat next to her Indian style under the tree. She laid her head in his lap and he began stroking her hair gently, no words were needed, and none were said. Both watched as the small pink blossoms continued to dance in front of them, they seemed to be trying to cheer them up. The hanyou and the teenage girl began to get drowsy and both drifted to a peaceful sleep with a slight smile on their faces.
