They arrived at Kaede's village and decided to spend the night.
"Miroku,"
"Yes, Sango?"
"Now that Naraku is dead, shouldn't your wind tunnel be gone?"
"You're right."
He slowly unwrapped the beads from his right hand. Nothing happened. He probed his palm and found only flesh and bone.
"It is gone." he whispered incredulously, "Sango, it's gone! I no longer have to fear for either myself or my children."
"Then we can be wed, right?"
"Yes. Sango, will you marry me?"
"Let's go find Kaede."
"Wait, we need at least two witnesses."
Inuyasha and Kagome sat up.
"We had a feeling this might happen tonight," said Kagome, "You guys aren't hard to fool with the old fake sleeping trick."
"Let's go wake the old hag," said Inuyasha.
When they got to Kaede's hut, she was already awake.
"I sensed ye four would be after marriage ceremonies tonight. I trust ye four are all of the proper age?'
"Um, well, ah," stumbled Inuyasha.
"Oh why not, Inuyasha?" asked Kagome.
"I guess I see no reason not to. Why should it be planned?" he said.
Inuyasha blushed as she kissed him on the cheek.
"I knew you'd understand."
That night, Kaede performed the ceremonies. All four were smiling as they returned to their beds.
