Sesshomaru pov
Kagome body went limp and she fell on top of Inuyasha.
Rin rushed over to her and checked her pulse.
But I already knew what it was.
She was dead.
Just like my brother.
"She's gone," She said and started to cry.
The others started to break down one by one as we stood over the dead bodies of my brother and his mate.
Rin crashed into me and wrapped her arms around me as she sobbed loudly.
I had lost a brother and a sister today.
Kouga moved them so they were side by side and Kagome's head was on Inuyasha's chest.
It wasn't something that I would utter aloud, but I did love my little brother.
I look at his lifeless form and sniffed the air.
The smell of death was already starting to cover his and Kagome's original scent.
I had not always being happy about his existence.
He was after all the reason our father left my mother.
But I had grown to tolerate him after time.
And after more time I started to enjoy his company.
Finally I realized that I did love my little brother.
I wrapped an arm around Rin as she cried into my chest.
They looked peaceful; Kagome facial expression resembled a knowing smile.
Though I was not happy about my brother's death, I was happy how it came to be.
He died protecting him mate, and she died trying to save him.
They were meant to be.
Rin's knees buckled and I tighten my grip on her to hold her up.
Ayame and Sango were on their knees crying next to Kagome body.
"We have to get Miroku to the hospital," Kouga said.
"I can wait awhile longer," Miroku strained to say.
"No, the smell of death lingers on you too," I stated. "We must go,"
I lifted Rin up and turned to walk away when the tenseiga became pulsating.
"Tenseiga, you wished to be used,"
It continued to pulsate so I withdrew it from its sheath.
"What are you doing Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked between sobs but I was more focused on something else.
Flashback
Kagome pov
Inuyasha unsheathed his tetsusaiga and Sesshomaru pulled one of his swords out of its sheath.
"Why is Sesshomaru only using one of his swords?" I asked Rin.
"He only uses TÅkijin, the other his dad left it to him just like Inuyasha got the tetsusaiga but his..." Rin stopped.
"What?" I asked.
"The tenseiga, it doesn't seem to do much." Rin said.
Flashback End
I stared at the bodies of my little brother and his mate.
Around them were demons from the underworld coming to collect their souls.
Tenseiga was allowing me to see them.
Flashback
"And yours Sesshomaru is so dusty it looks as though you never use it." Totosai went on.
"I don't." Sesshomaru said. "It's useless."
"I forged it from a fang given to me by your father. He clearly instructed that the eldest brother would have the Tenseiga and the youngest would have the tetsusaiga. That was your father's last wish. It is a great sword of swords. No better and no worse from the tetsusaiga. You should learn to respect and love it." Totosai ranted.
Flashback End.
Tenseiga wasn't useless.
Its purpose was to saves lives.
I cut through the gremlins of the underworld and the disappeared.
I sniffed the air and my eyes widened.
Kagome pov
My eyes blinked opened and I was no longer surrounded by darkness.
I turned my head up and heard my friends gasp.
I looked at Inuyasha's face and his eyes were closed.
I pressed my ear to his chest and a pounding sound roared in my ear drums.
I looked up again and his eyes were still closed but on his face was the grin that made me weak.
"Inuyasha!" I said and he opened his eyes.
I reached up and caught his lips on my own.
My smiled under his kiss and pulled away from it slowly.
I rested my head on his chest as he wrapped an arm around me.
"You're heartbeat," I said. "Is still music to my ears."
Epilogue
I raced down the stairs and ran past the kitchen but turned back after my mom called me.
"Kagome I really think you should rest more before you go." She said.
After we left the park that night we all went to the hospital.
Miroku, Inuyasha and I were the most hurt.
Inuyasha was in the hospital for three days. He would sneak into my room at night and just hold me.
He said that we would never let me go again.
Miroku was treated for poisoning and spent almost two weeks in the hospital.
I had a broken arm, nose, and five broken ribs. I had to get 200 stitches all over my body and had my heart was damaged after I tried to save Inuyasha's.
I only spent four days in the hospital. Midoriko was a real big help when it came to healing myself.
"I'm fine mom, I have to go meet Inuyasha." I ran out the door before she could start to protest.
I hopped in my car and put the top down.
I past Sango's house as I was leaving our block and she was outside in her front yard with Miroku.
I waved to them as I drove by and they waved back.
On my way to the park a motorcycle drove past me and the two people on it waved to me.
I smiled at Ayame and Kouga as they disappeared down another street.
I parked my car in my usual parking space and got out of the car.
Rin ran past me with a smile on her face as Sesshomaru walked slowly behind her.
I stopped in front of him and put on a serious face like the one he had on then broke into a huge grin.
I gave him a hug and I could feel him hug me back.
A little bit anyway.
I kept walking until I could see my boulder and Inuyasha's tree in the distance.
I could hear the faint sound of someone singing and couldn't help but smile.
The Best thing (acoustic version only!!!)
It's been a year
Filled with problems
But now you're here
Almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you now
All my life
I've been searching for you
How did I survive
In this world before you
Cause I don't wanna live another day without you now
I stopped in front of Inuyasha's tree and saw him sitting on a branch playing his guitar.
Smiling down at me
This is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's
Happening to you and me
All I'm gonna have
Is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back
Everything I have in me
Cause nothing ever felt as right
As this does right now
I walked over to my boulder and climbed on top of it.
I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past
Try harder to forget cause
Nothing will ever be as good as here and now
Cause when I looked into your eyes
And you dared to stare right back
You should've said "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"
And this is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening
This is the best thing (the best thing)
The best thing that could be happening (the best thing)
And I think you would agree (whoooaaa whooaa)
The best thing is that it's
Happening to you and me
I lay down on my boulder and listened to Inuyasha's beautiful voice as he sung to me.
Always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamt
It'd be like this
You've surpassed
All that I've hoped for (and ever wished)
And I'm tryin'
So hard
With all my heart and mind
To make your life
As good as you've made mine
This is the best thing (the best thing)
The best thing that could be happening (the best thing)
And I think you would agree (whooaaa)
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
(The best thing) The best thing that could be happening
(The best thing) I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
I opened my eyes and looked up into the golden eyes of my future mate.
"You're so lucky." Ayumi's words echoed in my head.
But now with Inuyasha looking down at me with a grin on his face.
I knew exactly how lucky I was.
So this is the ending to Avalon Demon High. It was two years ago today that I started this project and I really just want to thank you.
My readers who made this story awesome.
A sequel is on my mind.
Once I get a real plot idea.
Thank you so much for all your reviews and support.
Thanisha
