Chapter Nine – Life after Raijin
50 years later
Chiyo stood in front of a three stones one marked with the names Kaito and Yasu. The other marked with the names of Chiyo's parents and Megumi's. She looked down at the names carved into the stone as she looked up into the mountains beyond her. 'It's been fifty years since the final battle against Raijin…' The sun was setting over the mountains it was so peaceful now. Chiyo saw a two headed figure in the distance approaching, it was Ah Un they were carrying a rather old Rin on their back. Rin hollered out.
"Chiyo! The ceremony is about to start!"
Today was the day of Manami's wedding. Chiyo nodded and followed them. Manami was dressed in a beautiful cherry blossom patterned Kimono. Chiyo pulled Manami aside.
"Sis come with me…"
Manami puzzled followed Chiyo to a pond. Chiyo pointed towards it as they walked towards it. Choi fish were swimming around as manami tilted her head and asked Chiyo why they were there.
"Manami on my wedding day your mother told me to make a wish on a choi pond…at first I didn't believe in wishes…" Chiyo paused and smiled at Manami.
"Make a wish.."
When they returned to the ceremony Chiyo sat down besides Sesshomaru. He wrapped an arm around her and kissed her. Rin joined them with Ah Un, they all watched as the couple exchanged vows and a kiss.
"Such a lovely couple…wonder if Manami will have children before I die…." Rin narrowed her eyes and looked over at Chiyo and Sesshomaru as she gave them a 'I want grandchildren' look.
"Speaking of that when are you two…" Chiyo interrupted Rin with a loud giggle as Sesshomaru nudged her. Sesshomaru spoke as a smile appeared on his face
"Actually. We're expecting to have one rather soon.." Rin jumped up excitedly, Rin may have been in her late sixty's but she sure did look young at that moment. The newlyweds looked over at Rin and laughed.
"What are you going to name it?" Rin asked joyfully. Chiyo looked up into the now dark starry sky.
"Well.. We're not sure yet…But a friend of mine told me of a vision she had" Chiyo giggled as a star twinkled brightly.
"She will be incredibly special though…."
"It's a girl?"
Rin ran around in a 'HARAH!' state of excitement. Chiyo nodded and laid back into Sesshomaru's arms, Chiyo's star began to glow and faded out. They looked up to see a shooting star pass by.
…The end…
