A/N: I know this has been the longest ever since I updated, but what with school and moving and getting sick..
*pity*
But seriously, in the time I was away, I discovered Fushigi Yuugi!! Wah! Amiboshi and Suboshi are the cutest twins ever! Anyway, yes, I missed updating and hearing your genki reviews. Heehee. To tel l the truth, I was settling into a nice slump complete with writer's cramp, when sakura reviewed just yesterday and got me off my couch and online. Late reviews can do that to a person. Of course, I'm pathetically grateful. To those of you who actually liked the ending in chapter 10, don't let this mess it up for you! For those of you who were disappointed, which I know a couple of you were, of course, even if you were much to polite to just point it out, this is for you!

Reviews! I love you guys! I love reviews!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
sakura~ I can't believe it's been a whole month. *sweatdrop* Thanks for getting me back to work! I'll email you as soon as I'm done with this.
Shiori~ Thanks for the review! *sincerely appreciates it* Ouch is right.. poor Inu-chan. I could barely bear to do that to him. Kinkiness? Whoo.. now I can't wait to write it! Haha. Read! and Review!
sarina-chan~ Well... since you liked the ending... maybe you shouldn't read this? Heehee... but I hope you like this and don't get disappointed. Thanks! Zaijian! That is chinese, right? Cuz I'm Mandarin.. and it sure sounds like it. *_* ^_^ Thanks for reviewing!
Crono~ I believe you're right.. Inuyasha is sorta like Ranma. But hey, it is the same author... although *whispers* Inu-chan is cuter than Ranma. *cowers* Don't get me wrong, Ranma fans! I love him too.. but the doggy ears are irresistible!
Robyn_Windsong ~ Thanks for the amnesia thing.. I didn't do research and it's great to get some actual facts on it. ^_^ And thanks for the constructive criticism, it totally helps to know what to work on. Last thing.. the 9.7 _is_ out of 10, right? Haha.. thanks for reviewing!
sandy~ Heehee.. to answer your question, here it is! Review!
MoonKnightMaiden~ Oh, you are so right about the list being endless. I mean, I would so link together Amiboshi and Suboshi. *sparkles* Haha.. really though, they are just too cute! Chichiri is too, though.. hm. Let's just handcuff all the bishonen together. Hehe.. thanks for reviewing!
Jetflash~ Thanks! Oh, I'm really glad you reviewed. If you thought that was a great ending... maybe this is overdoing it. Oh well, thanks for reviewing! I like AU ficcys too... but mostly because it's interesting to see the characters in different situations than they normally are in.
SacredWings~ Grace, I swear you are my most supportive friend. Heeh. I'm not good at writing action scenes. *sweatdrop* I'll just stick to sappiness and WAFF. I'm not sure about the sequel.. methinks I'll just do the handcuff ficcy first.
kristy~ You thanked me for updating? *cries tears of joy* How nice of you!! Thank _you_ for reviewing.. and reading. ^_^
Airiala~ Thanks! She can definitely kiss Inu-chan now.. the poor guy deserves it, doncha think? I hope you'll read the handcuff ficcy!
ArmAndLeg~ Thanks very much for the review. I've only read one or two volumes with Sesshy in it too, so I wasn't quite sure how to tread. I couldn't bear to kill him off though, especially since a friend of mine would maim me if I did. *sweatdrops*
Kumi Boa~ Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm.. I need it! I totally agree with the Inu-chan/Kagome thingy. I'm a very canon couple person. Except for Ami-chan and Su-chan... oh well. I hope I can get the cuff ficcy out soon! I hope you read it.. and review!
Emmi-chan~ You are probably my most often reviewer! ^_^_^_^_^ I totally appreciate.. thanks for reading the whole fic!!!!!!!!!!!
You're the best.. hehee. I'm really glad you enjoyed this ficcy, I hope you read the next one! Can't wait to read your reviews...
Stormie~ I can't tell you how grateful I am that you pointed this out to me. !! If you hadn't... anyway, I'm working on a solution to that, but thanks!! Really. And I hope you read it. Thanks for reviewing!
poetina~ Yikes. I totally didn't want to disappoint anyone with this ficcy, and I hope you came back to read the end and to find out it was an Inu/Kagome ficcy.. I hope you like the ending after the epilogue. ^_^
Goddess of Death~ Hehee... Inu-chan's just fine! You'll see! Thanks for reviewing so much over the entire fic.. that's mainly the reason I update.. cuz I know people would want to find out what happened. ^_^ *sweatdrops* Guess I dont' have much ambition.
Kimmy~ *sparkles* Another Legolas and Josh fan?! Let me just say, you have the best taste ever! Did you see Black Hawk Down? Legolas was just so adorable in it! God, I could go on for hours. But seriously.. Josh was incredibly HOT on the Tonight show.. I really hope you saw it.. especially the part where Jay Leno asks Josh if his new movie has any sexy scenes. If you missed it, I'd be totally glad to tell you his response. *sparkles*

"One thing that I don't understand," Kagome mused, settled comfortably in Inuyasha's arms. "is why I could see what was happening to you during the vulture attack. I mean, we've never had a telepathic bond before. Why now?"
"It was the first time I really needed you." Inuyasha grumbled.
"I'm sorry, could you repeat that, and louder this time?" Kagome teased.
Inuyasha shifted, so that she was seated on his lap, facing him. "Well," he said rather relunctantly, "there might be an explanation for that, but I think that it's a stupid fairy tale."
"I love fairy tales." Kagome protested. "Tell me about it."
"Well.." Inuyasha started half heartedly. "There once was this demon, who fell in love with this human, but then one day, while the two were off on their own, the human was attacked by a vicious demon who was going to torture her. This human had once helped a psychic demon, and so, remembering the psychic's reward for her service, the human established a telepathic bond with the demon she was in love with. And when she called to him, he rescued her and they lived happily ever after. Until, of course, the human died of old age and the demon was still as young as the day they met."
"How romantic." Kagome said drily. "Inuyasha, you can suck the beauty out of anything, can't you?"
"Well, I try."
"Hm.. but how does that apply to us?"
Inuyasha stayed silent, until Kagome gave him a sideways glance. "Is there something you're not telling me? Because if you don't want to tell me, we can go rub alcohol on your wounds again."
"Okay, okay." he said hastily. "Let's not resort to threats, okay?"
"Good." Kagome said, satisfied. She leaned back against him. "Talk." she commanded.
"Sothelegendgoesthatifahumanandademonaretrulyinlovetheyhaveatelepathicbondwithoneanotherbutnotverystrongbecausetheyaren'ttheoriginalcouple." he paused for breath, and she interrupted quickly.
"Inuyasha!"
"What?!"
"Continue. But slower."
"You are so picky!"
Kagome cleared her throat and looked meaningly at her pack nearby.
"Well, so that's probably what happened."
"Inuyasha," Kagome said suddenly. "I love you."
Crickets started chirping.
Kagome twisted around to face him. "Inuyasha?"
"Really?"
"Really what?"
"You really love me?"
Kagome studied him carefully. Inuyasha's eyes were carefully blank, as if he were putting up a wall to shut her out. "Inuyasha," Kagome said slowly. "What are you saying? You didn't think I love you?"
"You said you loved Sesshomaru." his voice was filled with quiet venom and his tone with pain.
"Well," she grumbled. "it was an illusion. Besides, how can I love him, after what he did to you? And now that I've got my memory back.." she hesitated, then forged bravely on. "Inuyasha, did you know that I loved you for a long, long time? Even before I got amnesia."
Inuyasha's lovely golden eyes widened ever so slightly. "That long?" his voice had gone slightly husky. "Yep." she confirmed cheerfully. "Such a long crush."
"What's a crush?"
"Um.. never mind."
"I love you too."
Kagome felt herself tear up slightly. She twisted and clung onto Inuyasha tightly. "Thank you." she whispered. "Thank you for saving me."
"Don't get all crying on me now." he grumbled, but held her in return.
"This was worth it." Miroku announced suddenly.
Sango had her bottom lip between her teeth, concentrating on bandaging Miroku's arm. "What was?" she asked, glancing up briefly.
"Everything. Saving Kagome. Getting her and Inuyasha together. Getting you."
"That's not entirely true." Sango said. She tucked the end of the gauze in, patting it satisfiedly.
"What part?" Miroku demanded.
"The part where you get me." Sango replied placidly, systematically checking him for more wounds.
"What do you mean?" Fear had begun to clutch at his heart, cold and squeezing tight.
"From where I'm standing." Sango said, "I'm the one getting you."
Relief had him kissing her deeply, as Shippo rolled his eyes at the foolishness of people in love. "I'm beginning to think Kirara had the right idea, staying to protect Kaede-obasan." he grumbled. Seeing as how no one was paying attention to him anyhow, he continued on with his tirade. "There's Kagome-chan with Inuyasha under that tree, making out as if they'd just found out they were in love or something, and there's Sango and Miroku over there, rolling ontop of each other. Oh well," he concluded. "I guess it's about time he got her. I mean-"
Miroku disengaged himself from Sango just long enough to toss a heavy blanket over the small kitsune. "This isn't for kids." he said, before turning back to Sango. Shippo lifted off the cloth, and smiled peacefully at the sight of the light coming over the hills. "Oh look," he remarked, as much to himself as to the others. "The sun's rising."

Ending notes: Thanks for all those reviews! I love you guys absolutely much. Heehee. Well, I gotta go, but don't forget to review and give me feedback on my sequel idea and handcuff idea!!
