I think I have been mean enough to all of you and kept the posting of this to myself for a couple of weeks. Here is the final installment to Ten Thousand Years I Wait, it is not long; just short sweet and simple. but I think it finishes it nicely. I am happy you all enjoyed reading this and continue to read it from here on out. I am trying to think of my next Inuyasha Cross-over... or maybe I will do some Naruto... Dunno yet. I will think on this and start posting as soon as I got something concrete down.

Frodo felt the boat come to a stop, he knew it was time to come off when Gandalf entered his room and held out his hand. The journey was not over long to the Undying Lands, yet long enough. The six passengers did not talk much, but Frodo stayed mostly with his Uncle telling him of his journey to Mordor, though he did keep the bit about the ring to himself. Stepping out of his cabin, we walked up to the deck of the ship and saw the massive forest before him. His eyes widened at the beauty before him.

The trees were tall, the crowns a good height into the air; yet was still enough to allow the light to filter down to the forest floor which he could not see. There was a crecent moon bay, where the rock face towered up, only a single path could be seen heading upwards. There were birds flying about; some of which he had never seen before. "This is a sight I never though I would see in all my life," Bilbo commented only receiving a nod from Bilbo.

Looking on the quay he saw a familiar figure. His eyes widened. When the boat came to a full stopped, they were greeted by a female with long blond hair tied up in a ponytail, ears of an elf, red eyes and a black diamond on her forehead. She was wearing clothes he had never seen before. It held to her figure, the sleeve long with a large belt around her waist. The material looked expensive to his eyes. "Welcome, to the land of the North," she bowed.

"Kirara?" Frodo looked at her, tears in his eyes.

"Hello again to you Frodo," she smiled, and braced herself when he hugged her.

"Kirara?" Legolas looked at her. "You mean Kagome's Battle cat Kirara?"

Kirara laughed at this. "Yes," she looked into his eyes. "I am a demon, young Prince, I have three forms. My smaller form allows me to conserve energy before going into battle, then my battle form and this one; which I prefer most of all." Legolas looked at her with amazement. "Come, Sesshomaru is waiting for you. Lady Galadriel, he is most interested in talking with you and Lord Elrond. It is said that you both shall be on the Council for concerns of all parts of the Undying Lands."

"Lady Kagome mentioned such to me once," Galadriel spoke; everyone did not miss the pained look in Legolas' eyes at the mention of that name. Kiara bowed and welcomed them up towards the main palace.

"I shall bring you first to your rooms, there you may freshen up," Kirara said as they walked. "There is to be a banquet in your honor for the last ship, figuratively speaking that is, to be coming from the main land. Aowen will have much the same welcome once she is ready to return to these lands."

No other words were spoke when they ascended the stair. They came into view of the palace, Frodo, Legolas and Bilbo's eyes widened in the beauty. It was open to the rays of the sun and showed the beauty of the white marble stone that was used to craft it. The garden was visible at this time, and the White Gazebo that Legolas remembered from the dream stood there.

Kirara brought them into the main halls, where the ceiling were high and the floors carpeted in blue. She took them to the left and up a set of stairs. "This is where your rooms are. They all have their own personal springs where you may get ready," she announced. "There will be someone by to aid you in dressing as well as lead you to the main dinning room where everyone is waiting." She showed each their room and left them.

Legolas walked with Bilbo and Frodo to the main dinning room. They were told that Elrond, Galadirel, Celeborn and Gandalf were summoned before hand. Their guide was not a servant but a worker in the palace, who was apparently happy to serve their Lord. She gave no mention of who ruled the Northern Lands, yet a mysterious glint in her eyes told them they would find out soon enough.

They were dressed in finery that they never seen before, to Legolas it looked much like what they elves wore when meeting with officials from other elven communities, yet much finer. Once they reached the Banquet Hall, she stepped aside for them and allowed them entrance. Their eyes widened as the sure size and beauty of the room. The walls were white marble and was accented with blues and gold. The room was filled with elves and demons alike, talking and feasting on small appetizers; most likely appetizers before the main meal.

Frodo and Bilbo knew hardly anyone here, but Legolas knew most from his time in his home. But to the three nothing really felt right. They heard the music stop and a man dress in finery came out. "Ladies and Gentleman, I take it you are all enjoying yourself very well," he announced. Frodo, Bilbo and Legolas moved their way closer to the front of the room where he stood. "Now I would like to introduce the final guests of this evening. Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn of Lorien," the two stepped out in their usually clothing, choosing not to switch from thier normal. "Lord Elrond of Rivendall," he too choose his normal robes.

"Finally, Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands, escorting her Ladyship Kagome of the North, Keeper of the Shikon no Tama," he bowed.

Legolas' eyes widened when the pair stepped out. Kagome was wearing a simple silver dress that reached the floor. Her sleeves were a see through material yet shined in the light that was within the room. Her hair was held up with silver headpiece which twisted her hair around it. She stepped forward with Sesshomaru, her hand placed lightly on his arm she looked at Frodo and smiled.

"You were successful and with that I am glad," she smiled and spoke softly. "You have done what those before you could not, and did not let you corrupt you. Though I am sad you left your friends, I feel their sadness, it was something that needed to be done."

"I thought your were gone," Frodo nearly chocked his words.

Kagome knelt to the hobbit. "Sauron could not kill me so easily, nor would he have wanted to," she hugged him. "I had something he had wanted for a very long time. Fifteen thousand years had I known him walk this world without a body. Ten thousand years I waited for this one chance to destroy him, you helped me accomplish that." She stood back up and looked at Bilbo. "I welcome you to my land Bilbo Baggins, I hope that you find your final peace here."

"Thank you Mi'Lady," Bilbo bowed.

Kagome smiled and then turned to Legolas. "You finally came," she smiled softly towards him. "I thought you would have never come to see me."

"I thought you died, I did not know if I could bear coming here without you," he looked at her with sad eyes. "When we did not find you in the rubble, I thought you were," he as silenced with her fingers upon his lips.

"You talk way to much Legolas," she smiled, her lips then reaching his. With that the hall was in cheers, elves and demons alike. "Now Legoals, you are not going anywhere. You are mine."

"Would not think of going anywhere Mi'Lady," he smiled and kissed her again.
