InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Feudal Fairytale Ficlets ❯ Finish ( Chapter 30 )

A/N: Everyone has a theory on how it's gonna end. There have been a couple of points where it could have, but then Takahashi was like, “Um, no.” My personal theory is that Kikyou will prove herself to be a hero and drag Naraku down to hell, thus resolving the whole love triangle and definitively beating the bad guy. But as for the jewel, I'm not sure. Kohaku will be in deep trouble when it comes time to work that out. Whatever the case, I think this sums up the emotions of the end at least. Kagome and Inuyasha have had a quiet understanding between one another from the beginning.

 

Witty Disclaimer: We don't own Inuyasha; however we are capable of stealing hairs and making Shikigami counterparts, complete with fun-noodle swords.

But she was bleeding. And filthy. And starving. And exhausted.

 

And so was he.

 

Miraculously, she understood.

 

Kagome placed the jewel around her neck, and gently took his hand.

 

“Later,” she said.

 

After their wounds were bandaged. After a bath, and some ramen. After staring into the campfire awhile and working the knots out of their muscles.

 

After all these years, they could wait a little longer.
