Final Chapter!

"So…you ready to tell us about what that new sword's about?" InuYasha asked hopefully, sitting down next to Sesshoumaru by the campfire. Two days after the battle with Naraku, and Sesshoumaru still hadn't shown any inclination to explain what had happened. And as far as InuYasha knew, swords didn't just come popping up out of nowhere. Especially not powerful ones like Bakusaiga. Sesshoumaru lifted a brow.
"What's to explain?" he asked.
"Where did it come from?"
"It came from within me."
"Why?"
"Your guess is as good as mine, really, but it seems that in that moment, I stopped relying on our father's strength and became a demon of my own right."
"So…what was it like…did it like…physically come out of you?"
"I wasn't…entirely cognizant, but I don't think so. I think it just sort of…appeared."
"Yeah, what as that about?" Sango demanded suddenly. "I mean, I come out to help, and all I see is you getting absorbed by Naraku!"
"The best way to weaken him enough that our attacks combined would finish him was to attack him from the inside. I leaked a small amount of poison into his system while he was trying to absorb me, so it would weaken him without him noticing. Then, it was simply a matter of breaking free and…well, the plan was to use my Dragon Strike, but that changed with Bakusaiga's appearance. Essentially the plan was, though, to both of us attack him with our most powerful strikes at the same time, after he was already weakened."
"And what kind of plan was that?! It risked you getting absorbed and InuYasha turning into a mindless killing machine!" Kagome pointed out angrily. She still hadn't forgiven Sesshoumaru for not telling them the plan to kill Naraku. Sesshoumaru glared icily at her.
"It was a sound plan. Every plan has risks – the key is balancing them. And I was fairly certain that this battle was one which we needed to win…at all costs. If InuYasha had succumbed to his completely demon form, I have no doubt in my mind that he could've destroyed Naraku."
"But you admitted that you needed help. Do you think he could've succeeded even where you didn't?" Miroku asked, astonished.
"Firstly, I did not say I needed help to kill Naraku – I simply pointed out that you did, and I was willing to offer said assistance. Secondly, yes, I think InuYasha in his complete demon form is capable of far more destruction than I am, at the cost, of course, of his sanity and sense of self and eventually…his life. You see, if InuYasha were to succumb to the demon inside of him, he would continue to kill and destroy until he died of wounds or exhaustion – which ever came first."
"…Oh." Miroku nodded slowly. He fiddled with the prayer beads on his right hand. He still wore them, though his wind-tunnel had disappeared with Naraku. Sango slid her hand over his squeezing gently. He winced slightly and she cast him an apologetic frown. The poison had not yet left his system entirely, and there was still a large, black-ish stain on his hand which was very painful. They lapsed into a long silence. Then Kagome spoke.
"…What now? I-I mean…if I go through the well…will I be able to come back?" her voice broke slightly at the end.
"I'm not sure," Sesshoumaru replied. "But either way you have to go through."
"W-why?"
"Because, your life is there. You have a family there…an education…a future. I don't see any of that for you, here."
"How can you say that?! I…I could belong here as much as I do there!" Kagome demanded, her temper rising.
"You may think that, but it is obvious to me that this is not the case. Think about it Kagome. Even while you're here, you wear clothes from your own time, you bring over food and drink from your own time, you talk about it and long for it when you're here. Perhaps you long for here when you're there, Kagome. That may be the case. But you were born in your own time period for a reason. After all you have learned and done, miko, do you think even a single aspect of your life is anything less than destiny?" Kagome blinked then frowned.
"Well, maybe it's my destiny to stay here!"
"If you belonged here, you'd have been born here. Do you really want to live a life where you'll never see your mother or brother or grandfather again? What about your friends at school?"
"I don't want to live a life where I don't see InuYasha or Sango or Miroku or Shippo ever again, either, though!" She clenched her fists, tears rising to her eyes.
"Kagome…there is no life where you can choose both. And in the end, there is no place for someone like you here. Your heart is at dissonance with this place."
"What does that even mean! I fought and almost died – many times – to save this place!"
"I did not say you don't love it, Kagome. I said you do not belong here."
"Sessh…" InuYasha whispered, a pained look crossing his face.
"Someone must tell her these things, InuYasha. If your compassionate heart prevents you from saying it, then I will gladly take on that responsibility."
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here!" Kagome snapped. She crossed her arms and bowed her head, tears slipping down her cheeks. When she spoke again, it was much quieter. "Why do I have to choose?" she asked. "Why can't I have both?"
"The same reason no one can have both. We are created for the times in which we live." Kagome now began to cry in earnest. InuYasha got up and walked over to her.
"Kagome…"
"You agree with him, don't you?!" she demanded angrily. "You think I should leave! You won't even care if I never come back!"
"Kagome…it's not like that. I will miss you. A lot. But Sesshoumaru's right. You have to go home…we always knew you would."
"Yeah, but I thought you'd be coming with me! And now you're not! It's not fair!" InuYasha sighed and hugged her.
"I'm sorry, Kagome…"
"No you're not! If you were really sorry, you'd come with me!"
"I can't do that. It's not fair to ask me to live in that world. I mean, not only do I not know how, but also I…I love Sesshoumaru, and I can't live in a world without him."
"So you love him more than me?! Is that what you're saying?!" InuYasha swallowed hard and was silent for a long time. Then, very gently, he spoke.
"Yes, Kagome. I love Sesshoumaru more than anything else in the world. But that's irrelevant! I…I say you have to go because that's what's best for you, not because I don't want you around." Sesshoumaru felt his heart flutter. More than anything else in the world? He thought. Of course, he'd vaguely been aware that InuYasha loved him – and quite a bit at that – but to hear it said like that…it stole his breath away. Kagome now drew away from InuYasha and bowed her head, resigned.
"Then take me right now. Take me to the well this instant, and I'll go home and disappear from your life forever," she ordered. InuYasha cast a glance at Sesshoumaru and then nodded.
"Fine. If that's what you want."
"Fine?! You're fine with me just disappearing?!"
"I will miss you, Kagome, but you belong there. So if you want to go home, now, I will take you." She stood up.
"Fine, then. Let's go." He bent so she could get onto his back, and then he took off in a blur of red. Sesshoumaru sighed and stared after them. He hoped, for InuYasha's sake, that they made up before she left.
InuYasha stopped in front of the well. Kagome had stopped crying, but his shoulder was still wet with her tears. He set her down and hugged her tightly.
"I know you're hurt, Kagome. I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. I hope that you can come through, after this, but if you can't, know I'll never forget you…as long as I live. I wish you didn't have to choose, but you do, and I hope that you find happiness in your life," he whispered gruffly. She hugged him back, pouting.
"It's not fair…but I guess…I guess you're right. So…um…bye." InuYasha nodded. She kissed his cheek and then went to stand on the edge of the wall. With a deep breath she waved and jumped down. InuYasha watched her go and then turned away.
"Goodbye, Kagome," he murmured. Then, he was running back to Sesshoumaru.

The demon lord strode through the gates of the Western Palace. He threw back his head and let out a long, loud how to inform the servants that he had, at last, returned home. He kept his arm around InuYasha's waist, informing everyone that InuYasha was not only allowed there, but had in fact, come as an equal. Miroku and Sango were staying a nearby human village to support InuYasha until he got settled into what would be his new life. Then, they intended to head back to Kaede's village and hopefully start a school for demon-hunters and monks that could defend the village, once Kaede was gone.
The half-breed, for his part, was having a hard time keeping down his breakfast. He wasn't one for getting butterflies in his stomach, but now he could honestly say he was more nervous than he'd ever been in his entire life. That night, at the Council meeting, Sesshoumaru was going to announce his intention to mate with InuYasha.
"Nervous?" a deep, soft baritone purred into one of his puppy-like ears. InuYasha shivered involuntarily, his eyes fluttering shut.
"J-just a little," he admitted. Sesshoumaru pressed a soft kiss to the base of his ear.
"We're just announcing it tonight, we don't have to actually do it until you're ready," he reminded his younger lover.
"Y-yeah, but still…what will they say? I mean…I mean, I'm a half-breed…" Sesshoumaru frowned slightly.
"Don't say it like that," he chastised gently. "And they won't say anything. It's not in their place to say anything but 'congratulations, my lord,' so that's all they'll say."
"But I mean…"
"Don't worry. If they have any problems, that's their issue, not yours." He led InuYasha up to his room. "I thought we might as well share a room…"
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Tomorrow we can have you measured so you can get some extra clothes."
"Thanks. I think I'm just going to explore the place a little."
"Will you be okay on your own? I have some paperwork to handle"
"I'll be fine." InuYasha leaned up for a quick kiss before walking off. Sesshoumaru exhaled deeply and went to his office. The place was just as he'd left it, not a single scroll or pen out of place. He sat down at his desk and started to work on the papers he had to take care of. A few moments later a servant knocked.
"Enter." A young demon girl came in bearing a tray of tea. "Very good. Set it here and leave." She bowed and did as he bid. Sesshoumaru sipped the tea, relaxing visibly. Maybe he, too, was more nervous about this than he had realized. With a soft chuckle, he turned back to his work. There's no need to be nervous, Sesshoumaru. You're informing them, not asking their permission.
Four hours later, he stood and went to go find InuYasha. The Hanyou was in the garden, seated under a tree, a small smile on his face. Sesshoumaru tucked his aura into himself and moved so he was downwind of him, chuckling. Stealthily, he crept up on the boy from behind.
"Enjoying yourself?" he purred from behind him, causing InuYasha to jump.
"S-Sessh! You startled me." Sesshoumaru chuckled and sat down next to InuYasha. "Done with your paperwork then?"
"Yes, I'm all yours until the council meeting." InuYasha blushed slightly.
"You make it sound so dirty when you say it like that." Sesshoumaru leaned up and breathed hotly in InuYasha's ear.
"What's dirty about two mates enjoying each other's…" he paused suggestively. "Company?" InuYasha squirmed.
"Sesshoumaru!" he pouted. He should not be allowed to sound so damn sexy! He inwardly grumbled.
"InuYasha…" Sesshoumaru replied, smirking at how flustered he was getting his poor, little puppy. "My, my, what an adorable shade of red your face is…"
"Sessh! Stop it! D-don't talk like that!"
"Like what?" He snickered. "Be specific, or I won't know what you want."
"You know exactly what I want, Sessh!" The demon lord allowed his tongue to come flit out over his lower lip.
"Is that so? Because in that case, you want me to get closer and closer to you until you melt from my heat." As he said this, he leaned forward to press his body against his brother's side. He drew his tongue along the edge of one ear, drawing another, violent shudder from the Hanyou.
"S-Sessh…please…" he whispered. "Not here…like this…people could see us…" Taking pity on his brother, Sesshoumaru put a little distance between them.
"Fine," he relented. InuYasha breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to get the color of his cheeks under control. "How do you like the palace."
"It's fine, but…um…will we have to stay here all the time?"
"No, no, my dear. We can travel, as you like. I'm not fond of staying in one place too long as it is, anyways." InuYasha smiled and lay his head down in Sesshoumaru's lap so the demon lord had good access to pet his ears, which had become Sesshoumaru's habit whenever they were easily accessible.
"Good." He sighed happily as the demon lord stroked his ears gently with the backs of his knuckles. The two spent the next hour or so chatting about the changes that were going to have to occur, once they actually mated. In actuality, mostly it was InuYasha noticing all the changes that would have to happen and Sesshoumaru trying calm his nerves and assuring him he would be just fine. Then, their time was up and they had to get up and go to the Council Hall.
InuYasha grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand partially to keep his own from shaking. Really, why are you so nervous, InuYasha? He criticized himself. They won't say anything. And who cares if they do? It makes no difference! Let them think what they want! He stopped Sesshoumaru right before he opened the door. He took a few deep breaths, trying to settle the fluttering of his stomach. Sesshoumaru chuckled a little, tipped up his chin, and planted a soft, sweet, reassuring kiss on his lips – right in front of the servants and guards. InuYasha flushed.
"It's going to be fine, Outoto," the older demon assured him gently. InuYasha nodded and the two of them went in. The councilmembers stared at them, shocked that Sesshoumaru had allowed the Hanyou near him. They're in for an even bigger surprise in just a minute, InuYasha thought, feeling a small glow of triumph bubble up in his chest.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, why have you called this meeting?" the Council Spokesman asked at length. Sesshoumaru met the aged bear-demon's gaze evenly. He pulled InuYasha a half-step closer, his eyes scanning the room defiantly.
"I have come to announce that I have chosen a mate," he declared. "Prince InuYasha of the West, Son of the Great Dog Demon."
