Epilogue Part 2: Eep! A gunshot!
~**~
Re-cap
"If there is anyone here that objects to these two being joined in holy matrimony, then let them speak now or forever—"
"I object!" a voice from the back yelled, sounding murderous and deadly. Everyone strained to look at who it was. Maybe some jealous guy or girl who wanted the bride or groom for themselves.
The people who knew who it was gasped when they saw.
It was Kineo. And with a gun pointed at Inuyasha and Kagome.
~**~
Everyone stood rigid, too shocked to move. Inuyasha moved in front of Kagome slowly so that if Kineo fired, Kagome wouldn't get hurt. He wasn't stupid. He knew what a gun was. He had seen them on what Kagome called a "television" and she had explained to him what they were when he asked. He wasn't about to let her get hurt over "metal" that flew too fast. He wasn't going to let her get hurt period.
Inuyasha growled. "What do you want, temee (you bastard)?" How had he escaped from the dungeons that Kagome called "jail"?
Kineo's face was deadly and revengeful. He kept the gun steady and went back and forth between Kagome and Inuyasha. All of the guests had disappeared and only the one's from the feudal era, and Kagome and her mom remained. This allowed Inuyasha to get out of his human guise if need be. However, he was sure that the need would eventually come. Kineo spoke. "I've come for revenge on that baita (A/N: My word for Kikyou (baita! Her name is a curse!!!)) and that bastard freak!"
Kineo didn't know that "that bastard freak" was standing right in front of him, flexing his fingers and waiting for his claws to return. If he had, he probably would not have come so suddenly like this and instead waited for Kagome to be alone, or for him to be in shooting range so that he could get a clean shot at Inuyasha.
"What the hell did you have against her, you (A/N: I HATE cursing and I especially HATE this word!! Forgive me!!) fucking bastard?" Inuyasha yelled.
Kineo smirked. "Against the bitch I simply hated her. There didn't have to be a reason. She was just a piece of crap that needed to be tamed. I was also about to make her mine, even if by force."
Kagome gasped and clamped a hand over her mouth. He was going to rape me? Oh kami-sama (God)! Arigatou (thank you) for not letting it happen. Knowing that she was close to having her innocence taken by this man who was disgusting and a bastard instead of Inuyasha who she loved made tears come to her eyes.
Inuyasha couldn't control the rage. There was also no thought about Tetsusaiga in his mind so there was no stopping it. Who said that he had to be really hurt for this to happen? It was actually the thought of killing something he hated with a passion that drove him over the edge. He had his target and he knew he was going to enjoy clawing at his guts and stuffing them in his brains.
It was time to drop the disguise…
A/N: Gomen for interrupting again. I just want to say gomen nasai for doing this part. It's a bit gruesome shall we say. If you're offended, please don't read. Or if you have week stomachs or are eating something, don't read. Arigatou! And now back to the fic!
Everyone watched in horror as Inuyasha's hair shifted from black to white. His beautiful violet eyes lightened and become blood red with blue slits. Kineo was the most horrified. He took a few steps back and didn't know why he wasn't running. He was bolted to the spot and lowered the gun without thinking. Who is this bastard? Even all of Inuyasha friends had cleared out of the way…everyone except Kagome. She wasn't about to leave her fiancee's side. She wasn't afraid of him because she knew that no matter what form he was, he would never forget about her. He would never hurt her.
When the transformation was complete, Inuyasha growled deep in his throat. It also seemed as if his voice had gone deeper and older. He grinned smugly since Kineo was trembling in fear. "What do you think now teeme?"
He didn't even allow Kineo to respond. Inuyasha rose into the air and slammed himself down on him. Kagome realized that he still had the gun in his hand and she was also trembling from fear, but for Inuyasha. What if he gets shot? She wanted to help him, but if she got close, she risked getting shot. And unlike Inuyasha, she wouldn't be able to survive it.
Kineo struggled against him, trying to get him off, but Inuyasha held him down and didn't allow him to move. It's now or never Kineo thought, getting the gun in between himself and the demon on top of him.
Inuyasha clawed at his stomach and his guts came pouring out before Kineo could fire like he had been planning only a few seconds ago. Inuyasha even ripped out his heart. Life was leaving Kineo so with the last ounce of strength he had, he pulled the trigger…
…The sound rebounded off the church walls…
"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!" screamed at the top of her lungs as she saw the one she loved fall backward in slow motion. It WAS as if time was slowing down for that one moment, making the moment all the more painful for her. She rushed forward and didn't care that her dress was stained with his blood.
Because it's your blood…
Kagome let the tears fall as she watched his peaceful face…his beautiful face that always made her happy. Her eyes scrunched up in pain and sorrow and she cried out, then proceeded to hug him close. "Open your eyes! Onegai!!! Please open them!! INUYASHA!!!"
"Kagome!" her mother yelled, all of her friends coming back from hiding upon hearing her yells. When they saw the scene before them, they gasped. Kineo on the flood, dead, his guts everywhere and blood making a large pool around him. Then there was Kagome, holding a bloody Inuyasha close, crying her eyes out like there was no tomorrow.
Miroku, Sango, and Shippou went over to Kagome while her mom stayed behind and felt tears come to her own eyes. My poor Kagome. How she must be suffering! She looked at the one who had caused all of this and walked slowly forward. She stopped for a second, looking at him through narrow eyes, before she spotted the gun. She slowly bent down to pick it up, and pointed it at him. She didn't care that he was already dead. He needs to pay for what he did! Her hand shook with fear, anticipation, and hatred, the strongest emotion of them all.
"Higurashi-sama!" Miroku yelled, coming forward and taking the gun out of her hands. Mrs. Higurashi burst into tears and then went flying into Miroku's arms. He looked at Sango and she nodded.
She understood that Mrs. Higurashi needed some comforting.
"He's still alive," Shippou announced, picking his head up from Inuyasha's chest. He then took out a leaf and used it to disguise Inuyasha in his human form once again so that the ambulance wouldn't suspect, even though with Kineo's body, they were going to do A LOT of suspecting.
Kagome smoothed some black hair from his face and smiled sadly. "You're going to be okay koishii. Atashi ga yakusoku (I promise)." (A/N: Did I get that right Lightning-sama? Is that how you say "I promise" in Japanese?)
The ambulance came a few minutes later and wheeled Inuyasha to the hospital…
~**~
The sakura blossoms floated down around the trees in heavenly patterns. Soft and angelic things that they were, they caused peace and tranquillity. Birds chirped to add to the beauty and new life was born.
Inside a building next to the tree, a figure tired to walk, but was stubborn (*wink, wink*) to let anyone help him. He would growl and swat the person away, although when he swatted a certain person away, it was tenderly and done as a joke.
"You're so stubborn!" yelled the voice inside.
All he could say was "Feh."
The womanly figure inside then wrapped her arms around the man's neck and kissed him softly, yet passionately. He returned it back with equal love and adoration.
More black figures burst through the door and congratulated them. He was okay and soon there would be a round 2…
~**~
"Do you, uh, Inuyasha, take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"
Inuyasha smiled at his future wife, finally happy for the first time since the accident of a few weeks ago. Nothing would separate them now. "I do."
"And do you—"
"I do," she responded, not giving it a second thought.
The priest blinked, and sweatdropped. "Ah, I now pronounce you…" He just ushered his hands at them. "Aw, just kiss her already."
Inuyasha did just that, and all the people around then burst into a high applause. The two destined lovers were finally together after so many years of suffering and doubting. They knew that there was no force in the world that would separate them now.
Inuyasha caught sight of his brother who was sitting next to Rin. In Sesshoumaru's eyes was respect and slight love for his half-brother. They had finally come to terms themselves, and now the fighting between them was over.
A truly happy ending for a truly happy couple…
~Owari~
