A/N: This is really just me applying my fantasy of a quiet suburban life to my old teenage desire to see more of Kagome and Inuyasha's life together.
Even after two weeks, he felt his heart stop every time he looked at her. But what's two weeks to three years of being alone? Checking the well every three days out of desperation. His only wish in this world. No one could blame him for his close proximity to her. She too was unwilling to be astray from him. They married within a week, in a simple ceremony led by their dear monk friend.
And here they were, together in the fields, the afternoon sun shining bright. Inuyasha kept a peaceful gaze towards Kagome. She was glowing in her priestess robes as she plucked herbs from the ground, gently brushing them off before placing them in her basket. She wiped a heavy bead of sweat from her forehead and turned to him.
"Ready to take these back to Kaede's?".
He stepped to the ground in front of her and held out a hand.
"Let's go," he said, gently pulling her up. In a quick sweep she was in his arms, basket resting on her stomach.
"Inuyasha!" she laughed. He feigned ignorance.
"What? It's faster this way," he replied with a small smirk as he leapt into the air, seemingly flying towards the village.
Finding refuge in the shade of their small home, the twins Asumi and Itsumi sat, enthralled by the fox-demon's magic.
"And for my last trick!" he shouted, placing a small leaf on his head with a small poof of dust, "I turn into you!" he finished, taking on the form that the little girls shared. They shrieked with laughter.
"Oh Shippou," a motherly voice began, "don't give me another daughter to be taking care of!" A tinkling of rings was followed by a man's laugh.
"Yes, they do come one after the other, don't they?". A weary but genuine smile grew on his face as he spoke. A pop of smoke, and Shippou was back to his normal form. Mother and father entertained their little girls as Hiro rested in the cradle on his mother's back. A streak of red zipped through the air just above them. Shippou tried to pounce after it.
"Wait for me, Kagome!".
Miroku placed a hand on Sango's shoulder as they looked onward. They both felt a great peace in their hearts knowing that Inuyasha and Kagome had finally found their happiness together.
His bare feet touched down on the earth next to Kaede's garden while Kagome slid from his arms, presenting the basket to the old woman.
"Thank you child," she said as she stood to meet the girl. "these old bones have a hard time reaching that hill, and your chariot makes it all the easier for you to reach."
Inuyasha grew a little pink and looked towards the ground. Kagome beamed.
"He does, doesn't he?". She kindly folded her hands. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Kaede?"
"Bring the ginger tea to Ayako for her morning sickness. Then bring the mugwort medicine to Jirou for his leg sprain. After you make rounds around the village, you're free to rest for the day.".
Kagome completed her chores with Inuyasha in tow, soon accompanied by a handful of children trailing after the kind priestess. As the pair's day came to a close, Kagome sent the children on their way and gestured to her partner.
"Are you ready to go home, Inuyasha?".
"Keh," he replied. "Finally."
He whisked her into his arms once again and sped off, wind whipping around him as he headed towards his own forest. Just out of sight of the bone eater's well, their modest home lay in a patch of open field. Once Naraku was defeated, the villagers pitched in to make a home for Sango and Miroku and, much to his surprise (and no one elses) , for Inuyasha. He had spent little time in this home during those three years. Only on those days he checked the bone-eater's well did he stay, too solemn to be near the village. The evening sun was wearing down, the earth slowly cooling as it did.
They laid together in the cool grass that evening, as close as the newlyweds could bear. As the light grew dim Kagome placed a hand on Inuyasha's chest.
"Would you like me to make dinner?" she asked, her fingers trailing comforting circles into his robe. His stomach answered for him with a low growl.
She smiled at him.
"I'll go get it started".
Before long the two were sitting together indoors, eating their dinner by a crackling fire.
