Epilogue: There Are Memories To Be Kept

Inuyasha and Sasami were down to the last piece of the Shikon Jewel. "So, Inuyasha , what are you going to do when we get the last piece!?" asked Sasami. "Well, I might use it to become a full fledged demon so I can protect you easier." replied Inuyasha. "But you do know that every time we recovered a shikon shard that the person or demon that had the shard first was sad or corrupted. Maybe it won't work right. Do you know?" asked Sasami. Inuyasha said "Well, I guess so... but, you have to take chances right?" "I don't think so..." said Sasami. She felt very worried. 'What if it doesn't work? I hope it does so he'll be happy.' "Something wrong?" asked Inuyasha with his face in front of hers. "No!" "Don't lie. I can smell that you're lying." "Okay, you know how you are when you turn demon, right?" "Yeah." "Well, what if when you ask or wish that you can be full demon, your personality changes and becomes ,like, that vicious." "Don't be such a worrier! You don't know, I don't know so lets take a chance!"

"Exactly!" yelled Sasami. As they were walking Inuyasha saw someone familiar. It was none other than Miroku! "Hello there Inuyasha!" said Miroku as he walked over to Sasami and Inuyasha. Inuyasha eyed Miroku making sure that he wouldn't do anything to Sasami. "I haven't seen you in a while." Said Miroku smiling, "And you don't have to worry about me doing anything, I have settled down with someone." Inuyasha started to laugh really hard. "What's so funny ?" Sasami asked Inuyasha. "Him? Settling down with someone?! You're kidding right?" Inuyasha said laughing really hard. Sango came from the woods saying, "Miroku, are you already done going to get food?" Suddenly Inuyasha looked as if he had died 7 times and then went through torture for 100 years. "This is Sango, I'm sure you remember her, hopefully.....anyways, she is my wife now." Said Miroku looking proud of himself. "How much time has passed?" "Well, Inuyasha quite some years. At least four.....or five. When I noticed that my wind tunnel disappeared, I concluded that you killed Naraku." Miroku said.

Suddenly, a child came out of the woods , (he could barely speak or walk,) saying, "Mommy, mommy is daddy home? Mitsko said that she is getting hungry." Sango answered, "Miroku you better hurry. Tell your sister to wait a little longer okay Tai?" "Alright mommy!" Tai said as he walked back to the woods and towards the house. "So, Inuyasha, who is this?" asked Sango curiously. "Oh her? She is my mate, Sasami." Said Inuyasha shyly. "Oh really? And the looks of it is she is going to bear a child as well?" Sasami blushed 'till she looked like a tomato and shook her head slowly yes. "I can barely tell, though. You are very lucky that it does not show." Said Sango smiling. "Hey, Miroku, do you know where Shippo is? I kind of miss that little brat." Said Inuyasha looking tough again.

"Before I tell you that, are you actually still looking for the shards with your lady in that condition?" "She insisted."
"Oh well then yes as a matter of fact I do. He said that he would go to the fox village Tarayo and stay there. Said he would become a great demon there." Said Miroku with a sweat drop. Sasami didn't know these people very well, but since they were Inuyasha's friends then she could trust them. Then we're going to head that way. Oh and ......Kagome?" said Inuyasha turning around. "Oh, she went back to her time saying Hojo would be better than a demon."

"I see." Said Inuyasha looking at the ground. "Let's go Sasami." "Don't you want to stay and talk to your friends?" "No. I already have now let's go okay?" "Okay......." They walked to Tarayo village. It was well known for all the canine demons that lived there. (Hey, I'm gonna say that Shippo was 10 when he left them so now he's 15.) Inuyasha looked around and no doubtly that Shippo was the red head with the blue kimono. Shippo saw Inuyasha. Shippo's voice was lower and he had grown to where he was just a few inches lower than Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha, long time no see." They talked for a while and then Inuyasha said "Bye Shippo!" Shippo waved good- bye to them saying, "By Inuyasha, bye Sasami!"
