-Epilogue-

Inaba: seven years later.

It had been seven years since the Shadow Yu incident, and the question that had forever connected the lives of Yu Narukami, and the then at the time Chie

Satonaka. Now after these seven years of marital bliss, they were returning to dull little Inaba for a reunion with their cherished friends. Yu had grown even

more handsome in that time, growing slightly taller by a few feet, and his once short silver mane was now long and luscious. He now wore a plain white shirt

atop a pair of sliming jeans, and a sharp pair of shoes. Like her husband, Chie too had grown in beauty and style. She had grown her hair out as well,

keeping it as straight as her husband's, and wore a cute t-shirt under a jacket similar to her high school one. She no longer wore a skirt/short combo, but

instead wore simple jeans that complemented her quite well. The couple wasn't along though, for they were followed by someone that they were dying to let

the others meet: their three year old daughter. The little girl was following slowly behind her mother, who was trying to get her to speed up.

"C'mon sweetie, we're gonna be late! Don't you want the guys to see how pretty you are?"

The young girl was indeed pretty, like her mother she was fair skinned and cute, had her father's silver hair and blue eyes, and wore a light green dress atop

a pair of shorts.

"Is…Uncle Teddy and going to be there?"

The little girl asked her mother this is a shy, quiet voice, but it was her father who answered.

"Yes dear, he'll be there. But if you don't hurry they'll be gone!"

Once he uttered those words his young daughter bolted ahead of them like a lightning bolt to Junes, much to her parents delight.

"See? I told you she's got your athletic skills."

Yu chuckled lightly, earning a blush from his wife.

"Yeah…but she's still got your smarts. She'll be the world's first kung-fu professor one day!"

Chie had such a gleam in her eyes when she said this that Yu couldn't help but laugh as he pecked her forehead.

" Shouldn't we go after her? I'd hate for Dojima to start another of his parenthood rants again."

"She's close…I can smell her."

This comment earned Teddy a smack upside the head from his darling wife Rise, who was slightly appalled by his comment.

"Ted! I know you'll excided to see her, but lay off the creepy comments!"

In a surprise most of Inaba hadn't seen, Rise had become a part time idol after marrying "her lovely Teddy bear" two years ago. And boy had that changed

them, for now they not only were Inaba's favorite couple, they were also Inaba's favorite parents. Like Yu and Chie before them they too had changed looks,

if only slightly in Rise's case. She still was the same height, and wore her trademark pigtails, but now she was far more slimming and a bit more "endowed" in

certain places. She still wore the same designer clothes from around the world, but what was really shocking about the new Rise was her attitude change.

She was no longer miss flirts-a-lot, but had changed into a super mama over her four year old son. Teddy, or Ted as he was offend referred to, was far more

bulky and muscled now after these years. He still had the same hair and clothes ("Why change a trademark look?") but he now sported a wispy beard. He

was still quite childish, yet like Rise he too had become a surprisingly dedicated parent to his son Kusi.

"Ow! I just said I smell her coming!"

That earned him another smack, which mad young Kusi laugh. Kusi was…a special kid to say the least. Like his father he was blonde and blue eyed, which

was strange for Inaba, but what most people didn't know was that Kusi was half Shadow. While he looked human enough most of the time, he sometimes

grew dark purple fur for a day, and looked very similar to his father's true form. Yet he was a quiet and sweet boy, often helping his mother whenever

possible, or when not acting as silly as his father. At the moment he, like the rest of the gang, was at Junes playing around. Rise made sure to keep him away

from any TV set, for he always found some way to reach in and pull stuff out.

"No laughing at your father young man! Go on and play with the twins while we wait for Yu-senpai!"

Rise scowled at her son, who meekly nodded and replied. "Yes mama!" before going to play with the children of Yukiko and Yosuke. Their friends didn't know

what to think when shy and awkward Yukiko had suddenly declared she was marrying Youske three years ago, nor had the odd couple expected to be

"blessed" with twins. They both looked the same as they had during the investigation, minus Youske growing a slight beard and buffing up, so much so that

people still thought Yukiko was in high school sometimes. He twins were the couples pride and joys…on a good day. The female twin, Yokisu, was like her

mother in that she was shy and quiet most of the time (except for when she went into a laughing fit almost as bad s her mothers.) The male twin, Yokasi,

was like his old man in that he was wild jokester who was always running around. They looked nearly identical, the only difference was hair color, as they

were both four and wore matching t-shirts and jeans. The only way they could be told part , apart from personalities, was that Yokisu had black hair while

Yokasi had brown hair.

"Daddy! Kusi and Yoka are being mean!"

Yokisu was forced to say this due to her brother and friend messing with her.

"Be nice to her you two! Or I'll tell Kanji!"

Youske told the boys, which stopped them right away.

"Don't drag me into this senpai, can't we just wait patiently?"

Kanji told this to Youske, momentarily stopping his worrying over his wife. As everyone had expected, poor Kanji eventually grew the balls needed to ask

Naoto out, and after a while they got married like the others. Unlike the others though, they didn't have a child…yet. At the moment Naoto was nearly eight

months pregnant, and slightly moody. She had changed little in the past years, save for wearing more female clothes some times and letting her hair out. As

for Kanji he had drastically changed, still bleaching his hair but other than that no looking so punk-like anymore. He'd also turned into a bit of a worry wart

during Naoto's pregnancy, which really annoyed her.

"Kanji-kun? Sweetie?"

Naoto asked for his attention, and earned a. "Yeah babe?" in responds. She then looked sour and hissed out.

"Can't you stop worrying about Narukami?!"

He backed off a bit, but seeing as she was pregnant this was expected from him. As if to answer that, a certain "lightning bolt" suddenly rammed into Teddy.

"Uncle Teddy!" The young Narukami cried as the bear/shadow twirled her around. The game drew near to welcome the girl, and then her parents once they

caught up. Before this, only Rise and Teddy had seen the child of Yu and Chie due to being there when Chie went into labor.

"Sweetie, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

Chie asked this of her daughter once Teddy had released her from his grip. The girl blushed but politely bowed to the gang and said.

"Hello, my name is Nanaki! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

The team was almost surprised at the girl's politeness, hell Youske even said.

"This is the spawn of Chie? She's not savage or cruel at all!"

Now Chie herself would have re-introduced Youske to the Trail of the Dragon, but surprisingly Nanaki beat her to the punch. The girl's smiled quickly

transformed into a scowl and her brows lowered in anger as she kicked Youske's manhood.

"Don't bad talk my mommy!"

The enraged Narukami growled, surprising the hell out of nearly everyone. Her parents just signed and apologized to a shocked Youske by saying.

"We should have warned you…she tends to have these "violent" outbursts if you badmouth Chie…"

Youske replied in a very pained voice.

"Yeah? Maybe next time YOU CAN WARN ME!"

Nanaki then further surprised them by bowing and apologizing to Youske.

The day then passed with nothing else happening, apart from a cute scene with Nanaki and Kusi falling asleep on each other, and when it was time to part

they all headed to the Amagi inn for the night. Once all the children were asleep, the adults had a bit of personally time to reminisce about the TV world.

"So apart from Kusi, none of the kids know about the TV world?"

Yu asked this as he accepted a beer from Youske; they all decided to drink a bit.

"Yeah, we kinda had to tell him the first time he went Shadow. He took it pretty well too…a bit too well thanks to someone glamorizing it!"

Rise answered, smacking Teddy again.

"How is that like by the way? Him turning into Mascot Jr?

"Youske asked, ignoring his wife's hush glare. Rise frowned and sighed before she replied.

"He's still the same sweet little boy; he's just purple and spots bad puns. I hate to think how life's going to be for him sometimes."

The team grew a bit sad at that, but Rise smiled and said.

"No need to be sad! I never regret ever having him! He's such a nice boy, and polite unlike his dad here."

Another smack to Teddy, who simple sighed and replied.

"But you don't see it Rise…the way he smiles when I mention my world. I think he feels like he has to go there.

" That shut her up, but Yu changed the subject quickly.

"But we're all in agreement? Except for Kusi, none of the kids should ever know about that place."

They all nodded at the former leader, agreeing not to mention that place to their children.

"So enough of this drama shit, let's talk about how Youske-senpai got owed by a kid !"

Kanji cried this out, much to Youske's charging, and for the rest of the night they talked about the glory days.

"Kusi? Are you awake?"

Unknown to their parents, Kusi and Nanaki were awake and talking. Apparently the young half-Shadow had woken up and silently crawled to the TV set in the

room, only to wake the young Narukami.

"N-Nanaki! Yeah I was just..."

He didn't know what to say, for the little half-Shadow had grown fond of Nanaki after they had met and played. How could he tell her that he'd been trying to

visit…that wonderful place again. Despite his parents telling him not to, his father's stories of their native world had enchanted him greatly. So for the past

few months he'd been sneaking into it at night, letting his Shadow side have fun.

"You shouldn't play with the TV, we can get in trouble."

Nanaki told him, his shame growing every second. Before he could reply, a familiar voice called out to him from the TV.

"Child of darkness comes to me. Your native world is calling, come play with me again."

The voice was the same one that had lured him into the TV the first time, that of a young girl who only wanted to play. He felt his Shadow side started to stir,

and before he could control himself the purple fur started to grow.

"K-Kusi? What's wrong?"

Nanaki cried out a little, instantly waking the twins up.

"Whoa! He's some kinda animal!"

Yokasi cried in delight, his sister simply remained silent. Nanaki hesitantly tried to touch Kusi, who simply backed away and cried.

"No! Mama said no one can see me like this!"

He had yelled this pretty loud, so much so that the children heard their parents approaching. Feeling scared, and still hearing the voice, Kusi found he had

other option but to jump into the TV just as the adults entered.

"KUSI!"

Rise screamed, pushing the amazed children aside and tried to grab her son. But to no avail, as the screen sealed her off just as he fully entered it.

"NO!"

She cried, tears already streaming from her face, no noting the others trying to calm the kids down. "

What are we gonna do partner?"

Youske hissed toward Yu, who didn't have an idea for once. Before the kids could be told what happened, Nanaki quickly told the twins.

"Run for it!"

And strangely they agreed and followed her as she jumped into the TV, it suddenly allowing her. The adults all cried out in horror, and as he watched his

daughter enter the TV Yu could only think.

"It's happening again."

And for now, this story is complete. Confused about the ending? Don't be, for sometime soon the children of the investigation team will have their own

adventure in: Inheritance will be televised. Coming soon.
