Hey guys, here is Zuko's ending. Enjoy.

Aang was busy mediating. Unlike the rest of the group, only he was able to contact their lost friend. People in the many nations began to praise and worship the star. Some people were blessed after wishing on the star.

Midoriko told them that only Jet or Zuko would be able to put Kagome back into her body, and if they did not do it by tonight, Kagome would leave them forever, and would not be able to return to them.

Zuko walked over to the worried monk and they exchanged brief words. The girls were none too pleased with the events. They only wanted their friend back.

Jet was back with the girls trying to keep them from killing the Soon to be Fire Lord.

Zuko and Jet were both dressed in fresh white robes in the middle of the oasis. Kagome's lifeless body was laid on top of a polished marble altar. The star of Kagome's soul was getting dim, but it was as if it was trying to hold on longer.

Jet couldn't bear to see Kagome the way she was right now. There had to be something that could be done. He didn't care who she would choose. He would be happy if she was able to stay on earth period. He didn't want her to go. Not like this. If anything, he wouldn't mind spending the rest of his life watching her from afar. She didn't deserve to have her second life ripped from her.

Zuko leaned forward and brushed the hair from Kagome's eyes. Her body finally collapsed after the rest of them caught up to Aang. Without a soul her body could not function.

Aang took a deep breath and started to meditate.

It wouldn't take long before Aang was able to learn the answer.

Before he could even speak, the star in the sky grew brighter and started to move from its position. The star was drifting back down to Kagome's body and it was hovering above it. A bright white flash filled the room and Zuko and Jet were the only ones in the clearing.

There were two doors in front of the both of them.

They could hear Kagome singing from behind one of them but could not decipher which one she was behind.

Zuko could feel his heart racing. Would she truly give him another chance to prove that he could love her? Will she behind the door of his choice?

Zuko turned to see how Jet was reacting but instead, he saw nothing but endless darkness. Zuko grabbed the door handle and yanked the door open. A bright light filled the darkness, and Zuko had to cover his eyes. When the light began to subside, he realized that he was standing in the middle of a field.

"Where am i?" Zuko whispered to himself. Nothing looked right. A rustling caught his attention, and Zuko, ever ready, fired a ball of flames at the sound. "Ma, Ma…you could have killed someone." Zuko glanced behind him and saw Midoriko standing behind him. Behind her was the God Tree from the oasis. "Where is Kagome?" he asked the ancient Miko.

She smiled and pointed above her and Zuko gasped. Pinned to the tree, with an arrow through her heart was Kagome. "I'm sorry Zuko…" Zuko brushed pass the Miko and began to climb the tree. When he was able to grab the arrow, he tugged but nothing happened, it wouldn't budge. "Zuko…"

"So this is it. I lost? I cannot free her from the tree, so I have not been chosen." Midoriko turned her head from him. Zuko leaned down and kissed Kagome's stiff lips. "I just wanted another chance. I know…I know I hurt you many times…you don't even deserve to suffer so much. I'm actually glad now, that I wasn't able to pull the arrow out. I would have made you unhappy. I would have bought you fine gems and gowns to please you. I would not have been able to tune into your emotions.

"I would just keep hurting you. You would have been trapped in the fine nation, and unhappy. Like my mother." Zuko sighed and let go of the branch he was hanging from.

When he landed on the ground, a bright blue light surrounded him, and the God tree began to fade from view.

Midoriko smiled to herself and turned towards Kagome. Slowly but surely, the arrow pinning her to the tree was vaporizing.

"Goodbye Kagome."

Zuko heard someone calling his name. As he strained to open his eyes, he was able to see blue eyes staring down at him. His eyes shot open, Kagome's name on his lips, until he realized that it wasn't Kagome, but some other woman. Judging by her clothes and eyes, she was from the water tribe. "Zuko!" Zuko turned to see Katara entering the room.

Now that he thought about it, Zuko's eyes began to trail the room. Red and gold tapestries hung on the walls, a large fire nation insignia was on the wall across from him.

This was his father's room.

"Katara…"

"Oh Zuko's up. You remained unconscious throughout the whole thing. Kagome's star spirit shot from the sky and to the earth like a meteor. The ground began to glow, and all the damage caused by the final war was healed. It was amazing. Then thousands of spirits floated from the earth. Half of them went up to the sky, but the others manifested into loved ones. By the way, this is my mother, Kaoru." Sokka said, from behind Katara.

"What about Kagome? What happened." Silence filled the dimly lit room.

Sokka was the one to speak up. "Aang told us that Kagome performed her last rites as a celestial, and because of that, and the fact that she used her life energy to heal and revive all these people…she…"

"Can you all leave me?" Zuko asked quietly.

Nodding, Sokka ushered the ladies out of the room. When Zuko was sure that the three of them was gone, Zuko rolled over, and did something he hadn't done in a long time.

He cried.

And cried.

The tears wouldn't stop falling. He never cried so hard in his life. He didn't cry this hard when his mother left, or when he was burned and banished. He didn't even cry this hard when he was born (from all the stories he heard, he was a quiet baby, even when he was born). Zuko's heart was broken and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Nothing.

It was three weeks after the defeat of his father. Zuko was being dressed by his servants for his coronation. Today, he would become the fire lord.

Many things happened since his heart was completely destroyed by the death of his love.

The Southern Water tribe was now the established tribe it was supposed to be. The first family, Lady Kaoru and Lord Hakouda were remarried before thousands of people on Kiyoshi Island, and from there the two of them began to lead their nation into greatness.

Gran-Gran or Dowager Lady Kanna was married to Master Pakku the very same day. The two of them live in the Northern Water Tribe. Prince Sokka and Suki recently set the date for their wedding which was taking place at his palace. Ty lee was still with the Kiyoshi warriors, last time he checked.

Princess Katara and Haru were seeing each other off and on. Katara was still devastated by the lost of Kagome and that was causing a strain on their relationship. Plus, as Princess of the Southern Water tribe and ambassador of the Fire Nation, she was always busy, repairing ties between the other nations and the Fire Nation.

Azula was recovering from her mental breakdown. With the help of Katara and Kaoru, she began to open up about her bitterness and rage. Kaoru and Azula were able to form the bond that she craved for in their mother. Kaoru was actually considering on adopting the semi-banished princess, but Azula herself declined. She wanted to stay by Zuko's side, and repair their relationship.

Talk about shocking.

Iroh returned to Ba Sing Se to reopen his tea shop. Jet (who came for his coronation), his companions, and Mai now reside there as well. Mai had tried to comfort him during his time of grief, but Zuko brushed her aside.

He longed for the comfort of Kagome.

Toph, the royal, returned home for a month before leaving again. This time, she left with her parent's full support. Apparently, her blindness was cured. Now that she could see, she instantly (according to Katara) fell in love with Lee, a handicapped boy that now lived at the Western Air temple. His legs were semi healed, giving him the ability to walk with support. With a lot of exercise and rehabilitation, he should be able to walk within the next year, without support from his cane.

Avatar Aang was currently meditating in the hall, waiting for him. Just like with Roku and Sozin, the two of them were starting off on a new path. Now that he was able to Master all of the elements, he decided to remain in the Earth Kingdom with his friend Bumi. He recently decided to start dating a girl from some fortune teller village.

She was pretty cute for a 14 year old.

Zuko tapped his chin thoughtfully…was he forgetting anyone else…that was just about everyone he knew.

His father was locked away in a prison in the mounts that was especially crafted for him. He had Haru and Top make that prison, so there was no way he could escape. He refused to amend his views on his children, and also kept a tight lip about the location of his mother.

Zuko sighed and exited his room.

As he walked down the hall, he glanced at all the paintings mounting the wall. As a memory of greed, he kept the picture of his father and grandfather on the wall. He would not fall down the path that those two did. Passing the two pictures, he felt a small smile grace his face as he saw the rest of the pictures. A couple of them were pictures of Zuko and Azula when they were born. Zuko traced his mother's delicate features slowly. She looked so happy in that portrait.

Walking further down the hall, new pictures of Zuko and the others were mounted. Once he reached the end of the hall however, he smiled bitterly at the last picture. It was a picture of Kagome he was able to swipe from the oasis. In it, Kagome was sitting in a chair by an open window. Dressed in a two layer kimono, hair pulled up and back into a perfect bun with a long curl of hair framing her face…bangs hanging slightly into her eyes, the red of her kimono contrasted well with her slightly tanned skin. The vibrant yellow obi that held the outfit together was decorated with small orange maple leaves.

Her eyes, her uniquely blue eyes bore into his lonely amber eyes. Her soft pink lips were pulled into a dazzling smile; her dainty hands were outstretched, as if she was holding her hand out to someone. The decorations in her hair seemed to glitter and the pink jewel hung exquisitely on her bust.

Zuko ripped himself away from the painting and opened the large doors.

From here on, he would now be known as Fire Lord Zuko to his people.

And to his friends, he would just be Zuko, the lonely jerk.

Five years. Five long years since his coronation and things continued to change. The Southern Air Tribe was raided two years into his reign by rebel Fire Nation outcast. Although his people were glad for the new Fire Lord, there were still those that supported his father. Many attempts had been made in order to either assassinate him, or free his father from his prison.

All attempts failed.

Katara and Haru were able to settle together once and for all. They now lived on Kiyoshi Island. That way, they were between the Southern Palace, and the Earth Kingdom. Katara was pregnant during the second year of his reign but miscarried due to stress and the invasion. The two were expecting now.

Toph and Lee were married and expecting.

Aang and his girlfriend Mei, Meing...he could never get her name right, were together. They weren't married, but she was expecting as well.

Sokka and Suki, the next Lord and Lady of the Southern Water Tribe, already had 4 children with another on the way.

Surprisingly enough, Jet and Azula were dating. She fully recovered and now lived with him in Omashu.

Dowager Lady and Master Pakku both passed away last spring.

Also, after giving him the information he wanted, the Ex Phoenix King, his father, Ozai, died.

His mother was found in the very village he resided in while traveling on his own. She was back at the palace with him. Azula was reluctant, but the two of them began to bond, it wasn't as strong as the one formed with Kaoru, but it was a start.

His Uncle wooed and married a healer from the Northern Water tribe.

Mai…Mai committed suicide. No one knows why, and no one ever will.

Ty Lee managed to snag a Water tribe warrior and threatened him to marry her.

And Zuko, he laid in bed, alone like he did for the last 5 years, 6 months, 3 weeks, 1 day, 8 hours, 32 minutes and 12 seconds.

13.

14.

15.

Zuko sighed in frustration. All seemed to be doing lately was counting. Recently, the Fire Sages told him that he had to wed in order to continue his rule.

That was already out of the question. There was only one woman in the world he wanted and she wasn't even in his world or even in the world in general.

Rolling over to his side. Zuko fell into a fitful slumber.

Like his dream, for the last 5 years, he dreamed of Kagome.

She would be sitting under the God tree, beckoning for him to come to her. He would start to run towards her, but each time, she would get further away. Tonight, however was different.

Before him was Kagome, pinned to the God Tree, dressed in a simple nightgown.

Zuko reached up and grabbed the arrow and tugged.

The arrow came out.

Zuko's eyes widened as Kagome began to glow a soft blue color. When the light faded, Kagome slowly opened her eyes and smiled.

"Hello." She said.

"Hello." Was all he could say back...

Zuko felt himself waking up. He didn't want to. Kagome was finally awake in his dream. Zuko moved his arm slightly and froze. Something warm was pressed against him, and he had his arms wrapped around it. Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was a head of raven colored hair with a hue of blue.

"Kagome." The figured grumbled and woke up. A bright smile and tired blue eyes smiled up at him.

"Hey Zuko. Missed me?"

Zuko laid in bed holding on to Kagome for dear life. He wanted to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Kagome chuckled softly and began to explain to him what happened.

Kagome explained to him that the arrow pinning her to the tree was his doubts, and that he couldn't remove it until he was certain on how he stood with her. She also explained that since she performed her last rites as a celestial, she was actually now a normal human.

Well, except that she could bend water and earth, and had her priestess powers. She no longer had her wings though and could no longer communicate with Midoriko and the others since her tie to the spirit world was now severed by her return.

After the two of them caught up on what's been going on, Zuko sent word to the others of Kagome's return, and they all came as fast as they could to the palace. The girls were all excited to see her again, even timid Azula, but Kagome hugged the girl and began chatting with her as if they were long lost sisters.

Things began to fall back into place. It was as if she was there the whole time. Many years later, the gang continued to live and love.

Only three days into her revival, the two of them were married.

As a wedding present to him, she healed his scar.

As a present to her, he got her pregnant.

As of today, Zuko and Kagome now have 6 children. Hideki, Midoriko, Kousuke, Hatoko, Shippo and Rin.

Katara and Haru had 3. Sango, Kohaku, and Kagome.

Azula and Jet had two. Kouga and Miroku.

Toph and Lee had 4. Hakkaku, Ginta, Abi, and Souta.

Sokka and Suki had the most, now ranging at 9. Naraku, Kagura, Kaede, Koharu, Hakudoshi, Touga, Jinenji, Kun Loon, and Ayame.

Aang and Toph only had one. Her name was Kikyo.

Zuko and Kagome lived happily ever after.

Well, as happy as two stubborn people can be.

I think I might make Jets much longer….or maybe not post it at all. What do u think?

Another thing, I realized by me going on hiatus, I lost my fan base.

That sucks ass. However, I guess im going have to re create it with new stories which I refuse to right until I finsh this story and Destiny. I have yet to post ANYTHING for that fic, but that should be posted later today, because I already have it written out.

Anyway things to be looking for.

Ai ga Yobu e- wll have new chapters. I am halfway done with my Kagome/Kondo (Gintama) one.

I am actually deleting….drum roll please…both my code gease fic and my xenosaga one. I might delete my blood plus one two and re do them.

ALSO! Be on the look out for my latest creation. I have decided to repost…ish…cure for the sohmas. I actually had quite a lot of pms about what happened to that story. What happened to that story was, during chapter 3 I started drifting away from the story and started posting garbage, then one day, I sat and read chapter 6 and got pissed off at what I was reading.

It was horrible, the plot anyway, the grammar was surprisingly good. So I have decided to re do that story so yeah…

Let see, what else….hm…oh yeah, just as a heads up, I'm going to actually be writing fics for some of my favorite shows, like the boondocks, so my fans, u don't have to read them. Just like my OZ fic. Which I have decided not to delete after all! :D

That's all for now. I'll keep you posted!

Oh yeah! If you have a pairing suggestion for Ai, PM me.
