Chapter Twenty: Endings
Hano had had enough and was ready to fight. So after making sure the mortal took the poison at lunch she waited in the back of the crowd and allowed her anger to trigger her change and suddenly she was a huge black widow spider. This was the time. The bitch of the West would die.
Sesshoumaru began to get mad, his love was dieing and a spider who thought he was a tool was not letting her get the help she needed. So he grabbed the sword right next to him, the Tensaiga, and lunged at the spider. His sword surprisingly went straight through the spider, killing her almost instantly. But Hano was now not the only problem. Sesshoumaru tried to get someone else through when he was stopped by the other spider.
"So, Sesshoumaru," he said almost painfully slowly. He released the sword that hung around his waist. He was ready to fight. "It comes down to this, does it? A fight between you and me over the death of my sister." He pulls out the sword and gets ready to launch himself at the dog lord.
"I killed her because she poisoned my mate." When he said that their was a collective gasp from those around him. Many in the crowd thought that he was never going to find a mate, but now he had in the girl suffering by their feet.
"So my sister was right! You mated with a human!?! How pathetic!" Janko's voice seemed to get angrier as he spoke the words that confirmed that his sister had been right when she had come to him earlier. He saw red as he looked at the man who stole his mistress. Janko raised his sword and attacked blindly when he saw Sesshoumaru nod slightly.
Sesshoumaru just let everything go as he watched Janko charge towards him. It was time to end this with Tensaiga firmly grasped in his had he let Janko's sword connect with his own. He pushed it away with difficulty. The rage in Janko was giving him strength even when he was loosing concentration on his goal.
The fight went on for what seemed to go on forever as the two combatants fought. One of them for the death of the sister that no one liked, and the fact that this demon stole his mistress. The other was fighting for the love of his life as her energy seemed to wane. Sesshoumaru felt, through the link he now shared with her, that Kagome's life was seeping away. He did not like that but the only way to change it was to kill the spider in front of him.
Time seemed to stop as Seeshoumaru heard a low moan from the women laying on the ground surrounded by children, nobles, and fighter's alike. The lack of concentration was his downfall. As he looked over his shoulder for a split second he felt a sheering pain through his torso. As soon as he felt it he knew that this was the end. He would die by the sward of this maniac close by to where his love laid. He also knew that he would not die before the spider did. He raised the sward that normally would be used to give life and let it fall on to his enemy's sward. Tensaiga broke in two as it keep falling, the magic falling away with the sward. Janko's sward cut deeper this time but Sesshoumaru's kept going until it cut the spider in half. Janko fell in a heep at Sesshoumaru's feet as the mighty demon lord swayed slightly. He turned around and let himself limp slowly to his love's side.

Kagome woke up for the last time to see Seeshoumaru fall next to her and lay his head on her shoulder. She tried to call out his name but her thought was to dry and scratchy. She knew then that she was to die as her love had died. She cried on last time and thought, `I wish that we can be together again in the future. All of us.' She then closed her eyes and let the final breath escape her now cold body. It was over.

The children were the nearest. Rin and Shippo were crying for their second set of dead parents. No one dared to near them. Ko was crying for her sister, her red eyes were overflowing on to Renku's loose top as he himself cried silent tears for those who had died. The other nobles were standing in a loose circle around the corpses. Everything was silent except for the different women who were sobbing into their different men's shirts.
Then it happened. Many things seemed to be happening but a seemingly innocent glow seemed to be coming from the corpse of the miko. Suddenly it grow so bright that no one was aware of anything else. Then something rose above the corpse and stopped. It then seemed to shape itself around the thing that had risen from Kagome and most realized it was the Shikon no Tama that Kagome had held around her throat from the day she had completed it. A being seemed to solidify around the Shikon. It seemed to be the creator, Midoriko. Everyone was in awe.
"The miko Kagome want to be together again with the demon lord Sesshoumaru." Her voice seemed to come from all around yet nowhere at the same time, "That was her last wish. So I shall grant it, but I need someone to take of the jewel while her soul rests and is reborn. Will you take this responsibility young demon Shippo?" The crowd was surprised but none more so then Shippo.
"I will see Kagome again?" He asked voice as small as Midoriko's was large. The being simply nodded. So he did the same. He was then filled with the light that was the Shikon.
"You now possess the things you will need to keep the Shikon safe." Midoriko said as she faded. "When it reappears from your body Kagome and Sesshoumaru will be reborn and it will be time to prepare." She turned to the others that were standing there, disbelief written on there faces. "These two will need a protector until such time they decide to travel as they are supposed to."
Jaken knew that he would do so and said so. He liked the children well enough to fallow them once more. "I will do so." That was all that was needed. Midoriko disappeared with one last nod as the Shikon was absorbed within Shippo's body.
+ + +
The years fallowed were many and silent until one day that found the occupants of the Western Palace busily getting ready for the departure of their lord. Renku decided to fallow the fox to wherever he may go. Ko, now Renku's mate, was going as well. Jakon was staying to keep matters straight at the Palace. Shippo was ready though to go were the winds told him to. And always at his side was his new mate, Rin. They would travel and return with new stories to tell. That was the fact that came into their live constantly.
"You will be careful," Jakon said worried. He sounded more like a mother nowadays but Rin and Shippo let him worry when they knew he liked doing so.
"We shall be back within the century, promise." Shippo said back.
"Besides," Rin yelled at the toad, "you have the protection of the other lords and ladies so don't worry so much." That was the last statement said between the three except good bye. The demons, Rin had been turned one when she was mated to the lord of the West (Kagome would have as well but was never given the chance), left with one last look over their shoulders at the place they called home for a long time and would again after their adventure.

Author's Note: So I set it up for a sequel but I need to know what to do. Should I fallow Rin and Shippo on their journey or should I just skip to the part that the lover's come back in and write the journey latter? I will have to think about this one. Any way, great thanks to those who reviewed and gave me support as I wrote this. Thanks goes out to: Kagamoesiun (so glad you liked OLCaH), Natsumi (sorry but I don't think that my muse wanted them to survive just yet), baby girl (both spiders died this time, so I agree), zeddy222 (I did make this longer, I was going to have a epilogue but decided against it), shan (sorry it took so long), this-chicka14 (thanks), ringurl107 (thanks), yup. its me (sorry again for the wait), Fire/Ice Fox Goddess (thanks), Megan Consoer (hope you liked this chapter), inuyasha92689 (now you know what happened), and Green Penguin (I did not forget and I understand), for reviewing to my last chapter. I know it is sad but I hope you liked it anyway.
