We're going to apologise for the sucky ending before you read it, so please forgive us! May I introduce my partner in crime, Guise? We'll be the joint authors of this little account from now on, so look forward to future fics!

Disguise: I should really really apologise for this ending. I know how infuriating it is to read a decent story that has such a crap ending. normally, I'd attempt to continue it, but I've lost all will for it, so sadly, I had to make do with a couple of scrapped endings that I mixed and edited into this. I'm VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY SORRY for this ending because, and I'm not afraid to say it, IT ABSOLUTELY STINKS!!!!!!!!!

So I'm apologising for it now. Flames will be accepted, since I'm aware that I wholeheartedly deserve them. I only ask that you look out for the future fics I have in mind, since Guise will be able to nag me into finishing them before my creative stroke runs out.

Disclaimer (sung to the tune of Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone):

Oh why, oh why can't this manga be mine?

Oh why, oh why can't it be?

But I guess I'll have to be satisfied,

With driving the characters crazy!

Chapter 7: Quiet Thoughts:

She woke up the next morning and glanced around. I'm back at the cave! How did I get here? She rubbed the sleep from her eyes wearily and then saw Inuyasha. Oh. Now I remember. Inuyasha must have brought me back. He…he comforted me? The memories were tumbling back now. Why? Why did he? He's so confusing. I'm so confused! Then she smiled. He really does care for me…even if he hides it! She made breakfast and went to wake him up.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha, wake up!" He woke up, startled.

"Huh? What's wrong?" he said.

"Nothing. It's morning."

"Feh. You woke me up for that?" he growled.

"Hmph! I guess you didn't want breakfast after all!" She turned away and started eating.

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!" and with that, he rushed over to get his share. She smirked.

"Now are you glad that I woke you up?" she said, still smirking.

"Feh." was all he said. Her smirk grew wider and she too started eating. They ate in silence after that.

"It's funny," He said, breaking the silence, "I don't even know your name, even though we've known each other for quite a while." She quietly laughed.

"Yeah. It is funny."

"So."

"So?"

"What is your name?"

She didn't answer and got up instead. She walked to the mouth of the cave and sighed. "I'll tell you if you promise not to get mad."

Now he was really confused. What was she hiding? Why was she scared all of a sudden? Might as well promise.

"I promise." He said, curious as to why the sudden change of mood. She sighed again.

"Inuyasha…" she hesitated, gathered her courage and continued, "you are the banished prince of the demons, are you not?"

"N…Nani?! How do you know that!"

"Because I recognised your name from…from a friend." She sighed again.

"How? And who are you really?" he said, totally thrown off now. She sighed again. "And stop sighing!" he muttered angrily.

"I…Our kingdoms, yours and mine, they are enemies because of something that Naraku framed you for."

"So…You do know about that." he said, feeling slightly put off yet still very confused.

"And I do know that it's not your fault."

"Huh?" he said, astonished. So she doesn't blame me?!

"Because it was really the fault of Naraku's puppet prince!" she screeched, now so furious that he could see steam coming off her.

"…" He decided not to answer. She stopped being angry and sighed once more. I feel so bipolar. Right, calm down girl and cool it!

"I guess I should tell you now…", she trailed off. He peered at her, trying to see her eyes that were now focused on the floor.

"Inuyasha…My name is…I am…" She stopped and sighed again then started up, her voice coming out in a whisper.

"I am Princess Kagome of the 14th dynasty of the miko kingdom."

"…"

"…"

"That's it? So what?"

"…Huh?"

"I've never blamed your kingdom… Well no. That's a lie. I blamed you guys for a while, but I'm okay with you. I know you can't hurt me."

"Huh?"

"I mean, I understand if you don't feel the same, but I really really care for you. More than I did for Kikyo, that's for sure, and I know that I'd probably rip out my own heart if you wanted me too. I know I'm not good with feelings, but I'm kinda new to this. I really…Hey Kagome?...Kagome?! Wake up! Snap out of it!!"

"What happened next? Tell us dad!"

"Not much, really. I, being the strong man that I am, defeated Naraku and save the world!" boasted Inuyasha.

"Oh no you don't. If I remember correctly, I had to save your sorry ass at least seventeen times before you managed to lop off his ugly old head!" Interjected Kagome, proud mother of two twin girls, "and don't you dare scare the girls with you gruesome stories!"

"But Kagome!" Inuyasha whined. The girls giggled.

"No buts! And that's final!"

With that, she picked up the two girls and carried them out the door. Inuyasha ran after his wife, still whining and begging. High above them, Kikyo watched on, finally at rest since her once-upon-a-time love and her dearest sister were at last happy. They were free.

Sorry guys, I said there'd be one more chapter after this, but my muse for this story abandoned me and I just got fed up with this story and gave up. I've just done a quick ending for it, since I didn't' have the heart to leave it abandoned.

Please forgive my sucky ending!

Oh, I plan on doing a sorta spoof Harry Potter/Tom Riddle story. It's supposed to be a oneshot… See you then!!!!!!!! (If you're not fed up with me coz of this story).

IF ANYONE WANTS TO MAKE A REWRITE OF THIS CHAPTER, PLEASE TELL ME AND I'LL PUT IT UP HERE.
