Kaylie-chan: Hello everyone! I'm very sorry for the long wait, and this story will be over in this chapter Sun-chan is currently doing our homework so she won't be present in these two chapters. I finally decided to come back due to my increasing desire to write again. I had been through a long spell in which I just couldn't write anything. And then I realized that it wasn't fair, neither to my readers or myself to leave this story unfinished. So, to those who loved my story, I will finally give you the ending that you all deserve. With that in mind ---- the conclusion to "What Happened"

"What Happened"

Over the next few days and months, Inuyasha and Kagome really made leaps and bounds in their relationship and Jaylin, well Jaylin was still trying to get Kagome. However, Kagome had finally listened to the urging of Sango and Miroku and gotten a restraining order on Jaylin, thereby forcing Jaylin to have to move in order to get another job, afterall, nobody wants a lawyer who can't practice or stand within 1000 feet of Kagome.

Kagome, although she never fully recovered from the rape, has come to terms with it, and her relationship with Inuyasha has never been better. She listened to the advice of Sango and went and saw a Psychiatrist to help her cope and accept that it was nothing that she did that made Jaylin want to rape her and she has come to accept that Jaylin is just crazy. Her eyes finally have the life that they once had and she has once again become more comfortable in her skin.

Inuyasha, unbeknownst to Kagome, had finally saved up the money to get the ring for Kagome that he knows that she will love. He arrived early from work and had cleaned the apartment by the time that Kagome got home. When she walked in, she looked at Inuyasha confusion written on her face, because he sat in the kitchen with a small smile on his face. He was dressed in black slacks, red button up shirt and a tie with his long hair pulled back into a low ponytail with black dress shoes on. He smiled at her and gave her a small kiss on the lips,

"Hey love, we're going out tonight to the Tetsuiga Restaurant. We have reservations for 9pm."

She looked at him blankly for a second before it registered in her mind what he had uttered. The Tetsuiga Restaurant was one of the premier restaurants in Japan and usually you had to book it three months in advance in order to possibly get a reservation on the night that you want and it still wasn't a guaranteed reservation.

"Are you serious?!" she said in a slightly high pitched voice.

Inuyasha nodded and she jumped on him and gave him a huge kiss. He laughed and ushered her into the bedroom for her to change. When she went into the bedroom, she saw a box sitting on the bed with her name on it. She opened the box and inside was a simple black dress that was off the shoulder and stopped mid-thigh with red pumps and red gloves, and laying on top of the dress was a small platinum necklace with a small jewel hanging as its charm in the center, it was the Shikon Jewel, which had been handed down in Inuyasha's family since the feudal era. Kagome gaped at the outfit and forced herself to get into the shower. An hour later, she emerged from the bedroom wearing the outfit laid out for her on the bed, her long hair pinned up into an elegant bun. Inuyasha was speechless as she stood there awaiting his approval,

"What do you think, Inuyasha?" she asked tentatively.

Inuyasha could not think and because of this, he just smiled and held out his arm for her to take, she took it silently and when they got to the car he finally found his words and spoke to her,

"You look gorgeous, Kagome."

Her cheeks flushed a dark red hue and they got into the car, when they arrived at the restaurant, they were placed in the center of the restaurant and Inuyasha smiled at Kagome's shocked impression. He kissed her hand and they enjoyed a dinner where they talked about random things of their day.

After dinner, Inuyasha took Kagome to the park, where they shared their first kiss. As they walked in the park, they enjoyed a comfortable silence looking up at the starry nighttime sky. Inuyasha led her to the fountain in the middle of the park where they shared their first kiss and he knelt down on one knee. Kagome's eyes widened in realization, but she could not speak as Inuyasha began to speak to her,

"Kagome, I know that a lot of things have occurred in these past few months, and I want you to know that I love you dearly. I couldn't bear to live my life without you, you're it for me. I want you to know that I will always love you and protect you and I need you in my life always. You're my smile and my laughter, my joy and my contentment. I love you with everything that I have and everything that I have yet to possess."

Kagome, by this time is in tears, there is no way that this is the same Inuyasha that she has known all these years that they have been together. Yet, here he is on one knee telling her how much he loves her. Inuyasha smiles up at her and reaches into his pocket and pulled out a black box. He opens it and takes her left hand, in his own,

"Kagome, will you marry me?"

He opens the box and inside it is the most beautiful ring she has ever seen. It is a platinum band with three huge diamonds on it, representing their past, their present and their future with many small diamonds going around the ring. She gasps when she it and breaks down crying as she falls down on the ground next to him and as Inuyasha braces for the outcome and wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him whispering against his lips,

"…yes"

Inuyasha pulls her from his embrace and puts the ring on her finger. He lifts her up and kisses her full on the lips and smiles.

"I love you, Kagome."

"And I, you, Inuyasha."

They leave the park walking hand in hand, her ring shining in the darkness of the night, promising a future with better tomorrows and great beginnings.

-------------------------

Three months after Inuyasha and Kagome get engaged they have their wedding. It was an outside wedding, Kagome wore a white gown that came down to her ankles, it was a simple yet elegant gown, it was a tube dress, and it conformed to her every curve. It had almost no extra decoration on it, except for the bodice which was a design made of precious stones encircling her bodice in an intricate design her hair was pulled back into an elegant design. Inuyasha wore an all white tux, his tie and cummerbund a fiery red. He smiled when she walked down the aisle and after they said their vows they kissed and made the deal official.

Three years later, their little family had grown and Kagome was the happy mother of twins, Arianna and Mamoru. They had the hair of their mother, and the eyes of their father, they were as energetic as Kagome and as protective over each other and their parents as Inuyasha, at the young age of two, these two were proving that they were indeed their mother's children and their father's seed. Kagome was pregnant with her third child and they were happy, really happy. One day, while Arianna and Mamoru were taking a nap, Kagome laid in her bed and thought about everything that had happened and she touched her stomach, at five months she was showing the pregnant bump that made her glow with that motherly look that women so often show around that time and she laughed to herself. Who would have thought that after everything that had happened to her, she would be this incredibly happy and content. She had made it through the storm and now, she's ready to face the world of parenting, with her children, her loving husband and her great friends.

…and Jaylin was never heard from or of again.
