An: well this is probably the last chapter, if people want I also can put up a epilogue. But that's for you people, to decide. Well I am sorry that it took me this long to finish this story, but trying to write one, while being at your emotional and mental limit, isn't good, because the story will suck then. For the epilogue I will wait two days, to see in the comments if people want it or not. Well on with the story.
Chapter 28.
Dark clouds surrounded the sky, looming over what normally would be a nice field, to be in. but now, I wouldn't recommend you to go picnic there anymore. In the field were two groups of people. One of the group belonged to a foul half demon, named Naraku, and the other to the well loved demon Lord, Lord Sesshoumaru Taishou of the Western lands.
This was it, the final battle, all the jewel shards were found, so now there was only one thing left to decide, who would live, and get all the jewel shards.
'' Naraku, let's end this now, this Sesshoumaru will make you pay for harming what's mine!''
Naraku chuckled, but then grimaced, as he told Sesshoumaru the next thing.
'' I am sorry to disappoint you, Lord Sesshoumaru, but we have to wait for some more guests, you see, even though I don't want to admit it, I have been followed by two female Priestesses, and I never got to see them, because I needed to avoid them, and they even somehow blocked Kanna's mirror ,making it too difficult for me to know who they are, I only heard of them through rumors, like you, Lord Sesshoumaru. So we need to wait for them, I know they aren't too far, because I can feel their aura already.''
Sesshoumaru growled at him, damn it! Atleast they would be able to meet the legendary Priestesses now.
Oh only if they knew what kind of surprise was waiting for them.
-with Kagome and Tenshi-
'' Come on Hime-chan! I can feel Naraku's aura, together with his reincarnations, and another group!'' Tenshi called, while jumping from branch to branch, using her power to jump better and go faster. At the mention of another group, Kagome tensed. She knew who's group it was. Kagome stopped on a branch.'' Tenshi, wait for a sec, I need to put the robe on.'' Kagome said. Tenshi stopped, and nodded, also wanting to do the same.
When Kagome was done putting the robe on again, and making sure it won't reveal her true identity immediately, they started to walk through the trees again.
Kagome closed her eyes for a minute.' Today, we will reunite again.'
And what a reunion it will be.
-back at Sesshoumaru-
The half demon and the demon lord were standing there, glaring at each other, while waiting for the last guests to arrive.
Luckily they didn't have to wait long.
Because a couple of minutes later, two flashes, one green and the other gray, came out of the trees, landing a couple of meters in front of Sesshoumaru. Their face down to the ground, their robes hiding their identity.'' Well it seems like we finally meet.'' Naraku said with venom in his voice., while looking down at the two females from the skies. Naraku looked at them, and grimaced.'' May I know my opponents name, before I fight them?'' He asked, trying to sound like a gentlemen, but obviously failed. Kagome and Tenshi looked at each other, and Tenshi grinned, she would introduce herself alright, and Kagome too, though she would do it in another way. Tenshi turned to Naraku and grinned other the cap of the robe.'' I am a pure being, to protect human beings is the task given to me, and I shall fulfill that task, by killing you, Naraku, I am known by many names, but the name I shall always keep is known as the name Tenshi!'' She yelled, as she took of her robe, revealing herself, glaring at Naraku, she took her stand, ready to find if needed. Naraku narrowed his eyes on Tenshi. There was something with her, her aura didn't feel like one of a human or a Priestess, she wasn't a demon, but she wasn't human either.' What is this female?' Naraku asked himself.
Now Kagome chuckled. And everyone looked at her like she was crazy, well everyone except for Tenshi, who smirked at her friend. She walked away from her friend knowing what was going to happen, and turned to the group behind her.'' You better take distance now, she will deal with Naraku.'' She said to them, and everyone, well most of them had scowls on their face, and some had confused expressions on their faces.'' You expect us to retreat, and let someone else kill Naraku, we are here to make him pay.'' Sesshoumaru said. Tenshi rolled her eyes at the demon lord.'' Believe me, just take your distance and watch.'' She said to them. Sesshoumaru growled, and looked to the others, trying to read what they were thinking, seeing they wanted to see how this would go, Sesshoumaru sighed, and motioned for everyone to back away now. When everyone stood a safe distance away, Kagome looked up, partly revealing her face.
'' I don't think an introduction is needed, Naraku.''
Naraku's eyes narrowed.'' And why not, Priestess?''
Kagome smirked.'' Because the only thing I need to do is to take off my robe, and everyone will know who I am.'' She stated confident. Naraku was now confused.'' What do you-.''
He stopped with his sentences, as Kagome interrupted him with taking of her cloak.
And everyone was silent, shock clearly seen in their eyes, except for Tenshi of course.
Because there before them stood the one, who they thought was dead.
Kagome Higurashi.
Kagome smirked at Naraku's shocked face, and then glanced at her friends, and smiled feeling guilty. But turned to look at Naraku again.'' Naraku, now that we meet again, I will show you I am not a weak human anymore.'' She told him. Holding out her hand a silver bow appeared, then her clothing changed in to a silver shorts and top, that showed her belly, with no sleeves, wearing white boots, and white gloves that went up to her upper arm, and in her hair was a beautiful white Rose with silver at the tips of the petals. Her blue eyes shining brightly, and her hair had become longer.
She steadied her bow, and then an arrow appeared as she pulled the string.
'' Naraku, you will pay for everything you have done now.'' She said as she glowed pure white, instead of her usually pink, and silver wings came sprawling out of her back, giving her the image of an Angel. She pulled the string back further.'' Naraku, I must admit, I pity you, I hope that after everything you went through, you will be able to rest in peace in hell.''
Naraku's eyes widened for a second.
''Angelic Arrow!''
And she shot an arrow, more powerful then ever. And it went straight through Naraku's barrier, shooting him in the shoulder. Kagome then took out her sword, jumping to the sky, holding her sword up, and going straight through Naraku's barrier, slicing him with her pure power, turning him in to ashes, which was carried away by the wind, also taking the shikon jewel.
Kagome gently landed on the ground, she turned to her friends seeing they were still in shock, though the moment Sango and Miroku saw that she was looking at them, they returned to their normal selves, and run to Kagome.'' Kagome I missed you so much!'' Sango cried, hugging her, Miroku stood by, also crying. Then the rest came, everyone hugging and crying that Kagome was still alive. Well everyone except Sesshoumaru, who gently walked towards them, afraid it waws all a dream, and that it wasn't his beloved standing there. Kagome noticed him, and smiled. And Seshoumaru knew. Within seconds he had Kagome in his arms.'' Kagome, Kagome.'' He whispered, as if to reassure himself. Kagome was first shocked, because she had expected a different reaction, thinking he was in love with Kagura, but smiled a smile of true happiness.
Well that was until a certain wind witch decided it was time to interfere.
'' Oi! Leave my lord alone you filthy human!'' she screeched.
Kagome's smile disappeared, and turned into a glare as she looked at Kagura. Kagura smirked.
'' ach, ach, still not over the fact that Sesshoumaru prefers me?'' Kagura asked.
Kagome growled.'' Shut up, I will show Sesshoumaru I am worthy of him, that I am the ideal mate!''
' She thinks she is unworthy of me?' Sesshoumaru thought. He looked down at his beloved.'' Kagome what's the meaning of this? Why do you think you are unworthy of this Sesshoumaru?''
Kagome looked at him, wanting to say he loved Kagura because she was a demon, and Kagome wasn't, that this was the reason he didn't see her worthy of him, but was interrupted by Kagura.
'' haha, Sesshoumaru isn't that obvious, she is human, and besides you don't love her, you love me.'' She stated, like it was the most obvious thing ever. Sesshoumaru growled at her, not like how she insulted his mate-to-be.'' What are you talking about, Witch, why in the seven hells would this Sesshoumaru want you? And don't you dare to insult my mate!'' He growled, eyes flashing red for a minute. He glared at Kagura, until he heard Kagome's voice.'' You mean you don't love her.'' He was shocked at what she said. And turned to hear, holding her by the shoulders gently.'' No! of course not, why would you think that my Kagome.'' Kagome had tensed at first, but then relaxed.'' Because before fell of the cliff, I saw you and Kagura together, kissing, and you were saying you didn't want a me, that I was only a toy to you.'' Kagome told him. Sesshoumaru growled at this. Damn it, his beloved was deceived! Kagura would pay for this, but how would he prove it wasn't him that was with her? Sesshoumaru was thinking, until he heard light footsteps.'' Maybe I can help.'' A child's voice could be heard. Everyone turned to look at Kanna.'' I can explain everything, the so called 'betrayal' of Lord Sesshoumaru was a mere act, an illusion. Hakudoshi, who now is dead because of Naraku, had transformed into Lord Sesshoumaru, and so they deceived lady Kagome.'' she told them. And Kagome didn't know what to do. To cry from happiness, or get angry and kill Kagura. Well she decided it was better to be angry now, and kill Kagura. Though Sesshoumaru seemed to be on step ahead of her, now holding Kagura by the neck, his eyes almost totally red.'' You shall pay for this.'' He said, and let his poison flow through his claws into Kagura, her body now melding away, the last thing that was heard from her were here screams of agony.
Sesshoumaru turned to normal again after that, and turned to his mate-to-be, and holding her in his arms, having his nose in her hair, taking in her addicting scent. Kagome embraced him back, and smiled, everything turned out the right way. But then Kagome remembered two things. She pulled back for Sesshoumaru, and Sesshoumaru let her go, he knew she needed to do something.
Kagome first turned to Kanna, walking to the small child, and kneeled in front of her.'' Kanna, I have a offer for you, do you want to hear it?'' she asked the child. Kanna nodded.'' You have your will back now, and I want to give you a choice, do you want to stay with Sesshoumaru, Shippou, Rin and me?'' She waited for the girl to respond. And her response was something that nobody expected.
Kanna was smiling wide, with a sparkle in her obsidian eyes, as she nodded vigorously.
Kagome smiled, and hugged her, and Kanna embraced her back.
When they pulled apart, Kagome turned to Tenshi.
Everyone looked at the two.
Kagome smiled at her friend.'' Tenshi, thank you for everything.'' Tenshi smiled at her. And shook her head.'' Hime-chan, I need to tell you something.'' She told her dear friend, who was looking confused now. Tenshi almost chuckled.'' You see, like you I am from 500 years in the future. I am an angel send down from heaven, to make sure you would fulfill your destiny. And I must say, I am glad I was sent here, because I got the chance to meet you. I am grateful. And now I shall show you how I truly look.'' She smiled, and with a sweep of her hand, she changed, her once short hear turned long, and came almost to her butt, her green eyes turned into sweet blue, her clothes changed into a red top, with a gray long cloak, and blue jeans. Everyone was stunned at her, mostly Kagome. but she then laughed.'' Well it's suits your name! I should be that surprised. Haha.'' She laughed, and hugged her friend. Tenshi hugged her back, laughing as well. When they separated, Tenshi looked at Kagome sadly.'' Hime-chan, I need to return, but I am sure we will see each other one day again, I promise.'' She promised her. Kagome was at first sad, but was happy to hear the promise. Tenshi walked a bit away from the group. She opened a portal, and everyone was lookingat her in awe. Tenshi turned to the rest.
'' well see ya!'' she told them with a smirk, as she turned and disappeared through the portal.
Kagome smiled at the place where her friend stood just a few moments ago. Sesshoumaru came from behind her, and hold her to his chest.
'' We will see her again.'' He reassured her. Kagome smiled, then looked down at her hand, seeing the Shikon Jewel piece of Naraku in her palm, she took out her own shards, then looked at Sesshoumaru, who immediately understood, and took out his shards, giving them to Kagome. kagome molded all the pieces together, making the Jewel whole once again. Everyone looked at her, Shippou came to sit on her shoulder.'' What are you going to wish Kagome-chan.'' Shippou asked. Kagome looked at him, and then back at the jewel. She smiled.'' Kikyou.'' She called. And the woman came forth together with Inuyasha. She smiled gently at them, and sighed.'' I can't make a full pure wish, but this has to do. I wish for Kikyou to have her own soul, so that I can have my part of my soul back, I wish for Kikyou to be alive with a body of flesh and blood, and I wish for the jewel to be gone forever.'' She said. And the jewel shined brightly, everyone turning away, the light to bright to look at. When the light vanished, everyone turned to look, and they saw it.
Kikyou alive with her own soul, and the Shikon gone.
Everyone cheered, and Inuyasha hugged Kikyou, and then hugged Kagome, and said 'thank you' over and over again.
Rin felt something on her forehead, and saw it was wet, she looked up at the sky, and smiled
'' Everyone, look!'' she called, and everyone turned to look at her.
'' It's snowing!'' she cheered. And everyone looked up, and saw snow gently falling down from heaven.
Sesshoumaru stood behind Kagome again, and Kagome turned to look at him.
'' I love you, my Kagome.''
'' And I you, my snowflake.''
Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow, expecting an explaination.
Kagome giggled. and kissed him on the cheek.
'' You are just like snow, Sesshoumaru, you always were and always will be like snow, that's why you are my snowflake.'' She explained to him with a smile. And something very rare happened.
Sesshoumaru smiled back.
A true beautiful smile.
As the snow fell.
They kissed under the moon, that now shone brightly above them.
Everyone was happy, everything turned out right.
And our favorite heroine and lord were finally together, after facing so many obstacles.
They were finally together, in each other's arms, where they belonged.
The End.
Or not…..?
