Disclaimer: I do not own Inuaysha in any shape or form sadly.

Hello, I'm sorry for the long wait but here it is the last chapter for the princess and the knight, and I'd like to thank melcerena for her encouraging words and I'm sorry I didn't get it up by summer. I would also like to thank my friend who helped me write this last chapter. And I wantd to make this story longer but I had like no drive to continue it so I had to end it quickly and badly, I think it turned out pretty good actually.

Now without further adoo I give you the last chapter of The Princess and the Knight

Chapter 6: Ever After

It was the morning of the ball and everyone was in a tizzy trying to get everything ready and of course trying to find me when I escaped to go to the garden where I found Inuyasha.

"So how does it feel to be eighteen?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well… I don't feel any different actually."

"Ah well just wait in a little while you'll probably feel like an old maiden." He said with a shrug of his shoulders. We looked at each other and busted out laughing.

"But I actually it feels even more constricting then my life already was because I am now officially of age for marriage. Now everyone will have expectations of me to get married, it was already hard enough when people expected me to be the perfect princess."

Inuyasha turned to face her and enveloped her into his arms. "Kagome, I don't know what to say to make you feel better. I have nothing to offer you, but what I can offer you is my protection."

She returned the hug gladly. "Inuyasha, I'm so glad you're here."

He let go of her and stepped away turning his head to the side not looking at her. "Well don't you think you should get back to the three sneak's inside, you know before they completely lose minds."

"You probably have a point there." She started walking toward the castle. "Inuyasha, thank you for listening."

Later during the party after all the guests had arrived and Kagome had greeted them all she had to dance with Hojo. Hojo was nice but he had a weird habit of trying to look deeply into her eyes and whenever she looked anywhere but him.

She stopped dancing and looked at him. "Um, Hojo, could you excuse me for a moment I have to go use the ladies room."

"Oh of course my lady." He bowed and she walked away quickly.

Once she got out of sight she headed toward the crystal garden for some fresh air, and who would follow her but none other than Inuyasha.

"Haaaa, why do people have to expect things of me can't I just be myself." She said looking at the moon.

"Well Kagome that's the price you pay for greatness I guess."

"Oh Inuyasha it's you, so how are you enjoying the party."

"Well I'm standing around watching others dance bored to death, and then at one point Miroku and Sango started to dance, and Ayame and Koga disappeared then Rin somehow convinced Sesshomaru to go dance with her. So I was all alone except for those other guards who never speak, and we all know what a joy they are." He said sarcastically.

They both laughed at that, they really never spoke.

"Um, Kagome, I have something I want to give you."

"What is it?"

He pulled his hand out from behind his back and presented her a crystal lily, it shined ever so brightly and had red tips on the petals.

"Inuyasha, did this flower present itself to you?"

"The moment I stepped foot in this garden tonight. Kagome in demon religion soulmates are taken a step further they become mates for life. Kagome," He knelt down, "Will you be my mate?"

She started to softly cry. "Yes I will Inuyasha."

He stood up, "Really?"

"Yes," she gently cupped and brought their faces close together and their lips touched in a light kiss.

"KAGOME!" They ripped apart from each other at the sound of her father's voice and the anger it held. He walked up to them with anger written all over his face.

"Father I-"

"How could you be kissing this, this half-breed! Did I not rise you better."

"You don't have the right to decide who she loves your highness." Inuyasha said.

"I am her father! And you will stay out of this." He pointed at Inuyasha.

"Father, may I speak to you in private please." Kagome said with her hair covering her eyes and her head downcast. They walked to his office and closed the door leaving Inuyasha outside.

"Alright Kagome would you mind explaining to me what you think you are doing."

"Father, I have fallen in love with Inuyasha, he asked me to be his mate and I said yes."

"Kagome-"

"Father I know you are afraid for me and that will always want what's best for me, but I have been sheltered my whole life and it is killing me to watch my life go by and miss out on so much. Father I know what I'm doing and I know this is the right choice, I love Inuyasha. There isn't anything you can do to change my mind, it's done."

"When did you become do independant and start making a all these choices in life without me?"

"Well Dad sometimes these things just happen on their own." She smiled sweetly.

"Very well, you have my blessings." He smiled warmly.

"Really!" She ran up to him and hugged him tightly. "I love you dad."

After their embrace they walked outside to see Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Ayame, Koga, Rin and even Sesshomaru standing out there. The King walked up to Inuyasha and after a second or two he smiled. "You have my blessings Inuyasha, you may marry my daughter."

Kagome hugged Inuyasha around the waist and they kissed and everyone burst into cheers except for Sesshomaru let's face it he's not that kind of guy.

And as they say they lived happily ever after.
