InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Feudal Fairytale Ficlets ❯ Finish II ( Chapter 32 )

A/N: When distributing our f-words between one another, Botan decided that she wanted to take a stab at the word “finish,” and make it about the jewel. This is actually more true to her original vision than the first version. Seriously, how can these people have gone through all that and not get all crazy go nuts. And then Inuyasha finally has to admit his true feelings for Kagome after everything that had just happened—what guy wouldn't be nervous? I had to beg her to post this. I came *this* close to beating it out of her. To me, this will always be my favorite version.

 

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

A choking sound caught Kagome's attention, and she looked just in time to see a very overwrought hanyou turn his head into the bushes behind them and throw up.
