It was over.

Naraku was finally defeated. Dead. Gone. Take your pick. The point was, it was over.

What, exactly, was over, you ask?

Everything. Her journey, her toils and troubles, her life for the past two years. All over.

So the million dollar question:

“Now what?”

Kagome’s voice startled her friends out of their silent trance, simply staring at the empty spot that Naraku had been in, before Kagome had purified him out of existence. Now, her question seemed to direct their blank gaze at her, because really, that was the question.

Now what?

Sesshomaru, as efficient as ever, answered, “Now, miko, you all come to this Sesshomaru’s fortress.”

“For another council meeting?” Darn. She was really tired of those. In the weeks leading up to the battle, everyone had convened at Sesshomaru’s stronghold, using it as a sort-of headquarters. The downside to this grand alliance, however, was that they had been subjected to countless council meetings with Sesshomaru’s nobles, who were so whiny and, well, stupid that Kagome had wondered why Sesshomaru hadn’t killed them ages ago.

She was informed that they were even a bigger headache when they were dead.

His lips twitched. “No, for a feast.”
