A/N: To my newest reviewer, kris, and in answer to my previous challenge to my readers to discover the hidden theme in the story- Kris; you asked about the titles of the chapters. Look again at the story title �Sloppy Seconds.� Most chapter titles and many scenes are food. Just a little glimpse at my odd sense of humor. Sloppy Seconds, food. That and our favorite hanyou is obsessed with food. You should notice food of some kind or another in almost every chapter and the titles, too. (�Where�s the beef?� �Apples and Oranges,� �Sweet and Sticky,� �Mush,� �Sugar Plum Hanyou,� etc. and the then the ice cream scene, breakfast with Rin, Sango and Miroku eating granola and beef jerky, the lollipop scene, the dinner the night of the �plum,� and chocolate covered cherries, to name a few). Hope that answers your question, kris. A congrats to Arthurschick, lilthophie, Doujo, and Janna for correctly finding the theme- Inuyasha vids all around. This chapter, though it�s not much, is dedicated to my faithful reviewers Schezerade (my hentai friend, you), bubbles-sama, INU-KAGLOVER, hanyou-elf, and Spaz. If I didn�t mention you this round, don�t worry- I will! :P Thanks gobs, all!�I know, I know, this is short�.

Inuyasha tried to recover himself when he heard the girl and her brother both gasp, �Your era. Um, I mean, another reason why I love your era� you know, ninja food,� He stuttered lamely, his face now blending quite well with his haori, �the com-poo-ter, now this, no human night�� He chuckled uneasily and rubbed the back of his neck. He wasn�t fooling himself and, by the looks on their faces, he wasn�t doing too well at convincing Kagome or Souta.

Kagome�s eyes glistened with held back tears and her mouth gaped open, while Souta appeared ready and more than willing to tease the awkward pair.

Like a gift from Providence, Kagome�s mom chose that exact moment to peak in on the trio, �Inuyasha! Kagome!� She scolded, �You two should be asleep. You�re getting up early tomorrow and Souta still needs to get to bed for school tomorrow!� She shooed the pair out and turned off the light before going back to her own room.

Back in Kagome�s room, the pair were shrouded in an uneasy tension.

�Did he really mean�did I just hear wrong?�

�Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!�

�Kagome��

�Inuyasha��

�No you first,� they both started.

Kagome sat on her bed and watched the boy, the man, she had grown to love, stare out the window.

�I, uh, I�m sorry. I didn�t mean to upset you.� He began, still facing away from her.

Kagome pouted and huffed, �Upset me? Why do you think��

Inuyasha interrupted and growled at her, �Because, I could smell your tears. You were getting ready to cry!�

�I was just surprised, that�s all.�

�Keh, whatever, like I said, I, uh, meant��

Kagome felt the sting of tears in her eyes again, though this time from the wrenching twist in her heart, �I know, I know,� She said irritated, turning away from him and stuffing her feet under her covers, �You like my era for the food and no human night.�

�And you,� He finished silently, though nodding in agreement with her.

�Good night, Inuyasha.�

�Kagome��

She rolled over to face the wall, unable to stop the shake in her shoulders but hoping that the fluffy blanket would mask any sobs, she bit out, �I said, good night.�

Inuyasha�s ears drooped as he slipped to the floor, �Good night.�

Inuyasha watched as the moon made its way across the sky and listened to the even breath of the sweet girl across the room from him. Half way through the night, he found himself at her bedside, having inched unconsciously closer to her as the night wore on. He rested his chin on her bed, staring at the back of head for almost an hour before gaining the courage to bring one clawed hand up to run through the silky tresses. When she made no response and did not seem to rouse, he tenderly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and rested his cheek on the mattress.

He sighed and continued playing with her hair, bringing a handful to his nose and taking a deep breath of the scent that was so Kagome, �I�m�sorry,� he whispered, �I want to make you happy and�I know I keep fucking it up,� his shoulders slumped in realization, �but, if something happens to me, or you decide to come back here, I want to know that you�ll go on, that you�ll be strong, that you�ll be happy. Even if it isn�t with me. As much as I would hate it, I would even accept if you ended up with that damn wolf� if that�s what you want. I could never forget you.� He stiffened when she turned towards him, but when she murmured his name and continued to sleep, he relaxed, �I don�t know when it started. I can�t remember now not feeling the way I do. It would be like not breathing. I would sleep at your feet like the damn dog that I am, just to be near you, but I could never stop loving you��

Having finished his little monologue, he leaned up and kissed her temple softly before closing his eyes and drifting off to catch a few hours of sleep before the sun rose. Maybe it was because his own heart had been thundering in his ears. Maybe it was because he was too tense, too nervous, to apprehensive of the coming day to be fully aware. Or maybe it was because the tempo of Kagome�s heart exactly matched his own. In any case, he didn�t notice when the beat picked up, didn�t notice when her slumber lightened, didn�t notice when she peeked through her lashes as he kissed her temple. And he fell asleep so quickly that he didn�t notice the single tear that slid down her cheek or the sweetest smile that was on her lips as she surrendered to her dreams again.

With a furtive glance over her shoulder, Kagome slipped silently down the stairs of her house and out the front door. Inuyasha had been awake as the first rays of the dawn had slipped across her bedroom floor, traveling back and forth from the well house and through the time slip to the village, taking Kagome�s bags to Kaede�s. Now, all that was left was the girl and her ever-bulging backpack.

Kagome stood at the well house door, looking at her home and thinking of her family, asleep inside, ingraining the image and the sound and the smells of modern Tokyo to memory. They would only be a memory now.

As tears began to form in her eyes, Inuyasha took her hand in his gave it a gentle squeeze. She smiled weakly at him and nodded, sliding the door closed, and joining him at the lip of the well.

Today they would take a new journey. A journey to Naraku. A journey that would mean the end of their travels, one way or another. Kagome�s foot hovered over the empty air above the well for just a moment.

Then she stepped into the abyss.

A/N: I�m putting this at the end, �cause, well, it�s long. So if you don�t want to read, you can skip. Well, I first wanted to say that I didn�t intend to start a pity party, though I am touched by all of the well wishes and the profound responses I received from the last chapter. Some of you said you were truly moved and for that I am touched. It�s been said to write and write well, one must write what one knows. So that my personal bit struck a chord as it seemed to, means a great deal to me. What I found to be the most surprising thing, was how many of you said that you were honored that I shared that with you. Well, I believe that each our lives our intertwined, each of us touches others everyday, even if we don�t realize it. That person you held the door open may have been having a bad day. The girl you smiled at may have been thinking of suicide. The child you gave a quarter may remember your kindness and become a great benefactor when he grows up. Yes, I truly believe all that. And it would be selfish of me to hide myself when you all give of your time to read and respond. In all honesty, I am happy. I am blessed. And I consider myself to be luckier than most. There a great many other things regarding our relationship, my husband and I, that were too bizarre to be merely coincidence. That is why I have such a profound belief that there are things greater than each of us. One day, when I feel that my writing has reached the appropriate level, I hope to put pen to paper again and write our story- the great American novel so to speak. Until then, I am enjoying weaving this tale for you all as practice and it will have a happy ending. Why? Because, honestly, life has too few of them. And why would you spend the time reading fan fic if you wanted to be depressed? At least, I don�t. Just pick up a newspaper for that. Some of you wrote to me that my tale left you reaching for those you love, calling up friends, and hugging your significant others. You know what? That�s exactly what I intended. I�ve told my story before, to perfect strangers, no less, when I�ve seen that they have been disillusioned in a relationship or forgotten what is really important. So if I succeeded in reminding some of you that the little things, like who left the toilet seat up or who forgot to pick up milk on the way home, are not important, well, then I�m satisfied. That�s why I put that up for Christmas� Ok, I�ve gone off on a more puritanical beat than I intended here, so I�ll hop off my soap box get back to the next installment of our little story. Chapter after this will be The Battle. And boy, is it a doozy. It�s already in pre-write, so it won�t be long before it�s up.
