Epilogue
Inuyasha watched the hunched over form of his wife of 65 years as she tended to a little girls broken arm. "Make sure you don't let her work with it for the next two months." She whispered to the girl's mother. "Thank you, Lady Kikyo." The woman sighed happily. Kikyo straightened her back and walked over to Inuyasha slowly.
"I need to speak with you, Inuyasha." Kikyo said as they walked into their hut. "Alright, what's up?" Inuyasha asked running his fingers through her gray hair. "I feel as though my time is running short, I shall be going to meet King Enma within the next few nights. I want you to know that I love you. Kaede is going to be taking over for me when that time does eventually come." She said sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"I know Kikyo, I'm getting older too, you won't be alone for long in Rekai." Inuyasha sighed closing his light brown eyes. Kikyo nodded and allowed him to help her up before they went to their room for the night.
~In Rekai~
Koenma stamped his pile of papers and sucked on his pacifier nervously. "Lord Koenma, Lady Kikyo's soul has arrived." George announced. Koenma looked up and nodded. "Let her in." he said rubbing his eyes. A much younger Kikyo walked into his office, warmth shinning in her eyes at the ruler. "Lady Kikyo, I've been expecting you." Koenma said. "With all due respect young prince, I would like to skip the pleasantries and like to get my place." She said softly.
"Of course, Lady Kikyo, you're being sent to heaven. And this is off the record, but Inuyasha will be joining you." Koenma said stamping his seal on her paper. Kikyo eyed him and nodded, "thank you". Turning, she walked out of his office and on to her new home.
~500 Years Later~
Kurama stood on the side walk with Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei; all four of them catching up since the tournament in demon world. "What do we do now?" Yusuke asked uncertainly. "I suppose we try to live our daily lives, as best we can anyway." Kurama said slowly. "You going back to Demon World, shorty?" Kuwabara asked. "If it means I get to stay away from you, then of course." Hiei snorted. Kurama smirked as someone bumped into his back.
"I am so sorry!" the girl squeaked nervously. "It's quite alright, here let me help you." Kurama said bending down to help pick up her books. "Ever the gentleman." Yusuke said with a mock sigh. Kurama rolled his eyes and held the book out to the girl, both freezing when they locked eyes. "Thank you, I'm sorry about that." She apologized. "It's alright, miss." Kurama said. "Kagome, please call me Kagome." Kagome smiled taking the book. "Shuichi." Kurama replied.
"Nice to meet you." Kagome said. "You as well." Kurama said. Kagome stood up with Kurama and held her hand out, shaking the red head's hand slowly. "I'm sorry, but have we met before?" Kurama asked. "I think one of us would have remembered." Kagome said shaking her head. "Of course." Kurama answered.
"Kagome!"
Both turned and saw three girls waving from across the street. Kagome cleared her throat nervously and turned back to the man in front of her. "I should go; it was nice to meet you." Kagome said before turning and heading back to her friends. "She's cute." Yusuke said. "Yes, but why do I feel as if I know her?" Kurama mused. "You're a strange fox." Hiei grumbled walking away. Kurama watched the dark haired girl walk away and pause slightly to turn to look at him. Kurama smiled and waved, smiling bigger at the blush that spread across Kagome's face before she turned and sped back up to catch her friends.
Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara shared a look before following after Hiei; Yusuke hanging back to hover near the entrance of an alley. "Is Kurama right, did we know her?" he asked. Koenma stepped out of the shadows and both stared at Kagome's retreating form. "Yes, but this is what she wished for." He replied. "I remember everything toddler, even if they don't; who would she have picked? Kurama or Kaname?" Yusuke asked. Koenma's eyes grew tired, showing Yusuke his age through his eyes. "Neither." He said. Yusuke grunted and shared a look with the ruler before going to catch up with his friends.
Koenma sighed and turned, coming face-to-face with his father. "Dad?" he asked. "I know you miss her, but you need to forget her." Enma said crossing his arms. Koenma nodded and glanced over his shoulder. "I know." He answered before following his father to Spirit World.
