Epilog
Kagome stretched, opening her eyes slowly. Slipping out of bed, she looked around. She'd have to go to work soon.
The smell of an omelet cooking downstairs made her smile. InuYasha could cook… who knew?
Running down stairs, she kissed her husband on the cheek, hugging his waist. "Oh, honey, you're making breakfast… what'd ya want?"
He just gave his usual 'Keh' of annoyance before turning and kissing her gently on the lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in deeper. They would've intensified the kiss hand not a child's giggle made them break apart.
A little five-year-old was standing at the doorway, giggling light heartedly. InuYasha growled, an ear twitching, and shot after the quarter demon who squealed and shot upstairs.
Kagome shook her head and took over cooking. She loved how much InuYasha doted on their daughter… she just didn't know how to tell him that a second one was on the way…
InuYasha grasped Haruka by the scruff of the neck and growled into her shoulder, running his claws carefully up and down her tummy, making her squeal and giggle even more.
Finally, the little girl broke away, grinning up at him. "Daddy," she asked, her golden eyes blinking lazily up at him from under her midnight black bangs.
"Hai?" he asked, setting her down on the top of the stairs and sliding down to the wall to stare her in the face.
"How did you and Mommy meet?"
He grinned, but looked at his watch and jumped. "That's a story for another time, Haruka," he said gently, kissing her on the forehead and jumping into his and Kagome's room and grabbing his Kitsune necklace. Slipping it over his head, his dog ears disappeared and turned into human ears. Black hair fell gracefully around him, and his claws and fangs were gone, though he still had golden eyes.
Looking at the calendar, he started. It had been eight years since they had defeated Henry, and six years since they had first gotten married/mated.
Eight years to the day since Henry, and in a month or so, he and Kagome would be celebrating their anniversary.
Smiling, he looked out the window and, in a flash, remembered everything that he and Kagome had to go through. Turning, he made his way downstairs, but stopped and looked quickly at an old battered sword. Tetsaiga. Grinning, he shook his head. It was ironic, it really was, that he was working for his own brother, just above Koga. Sesshomaru had wanted Tetsaiga so much… and Koga had wanted Kagome.
'Ah, but I'm just happy I was able to end up with both in the end,' he thought. For the family, they knew, life, could only get better…
