Oh man, I took forever posting this one... has it really been a week? Just goes to show how busy I've been. I would have posted this over the weekend, but a few friends came over and kind of got drunk... leaving me to take care of them. (haha!)
but you didn't need to know that

Anyway, heres the last chapter!!! Thank you for all the kind reviews and stuff. I hope ya'll enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. XD

As the day's progressed, Rin became perfectly healthy, both she and her body completely oblivious to Yukio's attack. She became extremely excited the day Zyanya told her she was going to become an older sister. She ran around the mansion screaming and jumping for joy. Sesshoumaru had to send Jaken on her before his urge to break the girl in half took over. It was a long nine months.

Zyanya gave birth to her second daughter right in the middle of a heavy thunderstorm. Jaken was mumbling something about bad omens and another heir while he paced around with Rin on his heels.

"Jaken-sama? When will the baby be here?"

Jaken looked up. "Just listen for cries."

He began his pace again while Rin ran to Zyanya and Sesshoumaru's room to listen. A few minutes later, instead of hearing the cries of a baby, Rin heard laughing. Sesshoumaru slid the door open for Rin and Jaken to come in. They rushed in to see a tiny, light skinned, baby with cat-like amber eyes, magenta stripes on both its cheeks, and white hair with two blue streaks in the front.

Rin gazed at it in awe. "Kawaii! What are you going to name it, Zyanya-sama?"

Zyanya looked at Sesshoumaru. "Definitely not Leiko. I don't care about my family's customs anymore."

In Zyanya's family it was traditional to name one's daughters after the mother's mother.

"I don't want a daughter thinking she's meant to be arrogant."

"How about Sachi or Mika?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Rin piped up. "Atsuko!"

Immediately the baby looked over at Rin and laughed.

Zyanya smiled. "Atsuko it is."

Inuyasha and Kagome visited every so often, bringing Kiyoshi with them to keep Atsuko company. For some strange reason, the girl had no definite form and could change into whichever animal she pleased, although she favored the form of a small grey mouse more often than any others.

Occasionally Kiyoshi would bring his newfound puppy with him, but today the two cousins took joy in nothing else but poking each other and then laughing about it right after.

Zyanya watched their little game in amusement from afar. From behind her, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Sesshoumaru actually smiling. Had anyone else been around, they would have been able to tell it was a smile as well… and probably would have freaked out.

"Hey Anya, I want to show you something."

She smirked. He sounded like a little kid again.

She played along. "What is it Sesshou?"

From his left hand, he produced a rose from his poison claws just like he had for her all those years ago.

"The only problem is the poison."

She smiled and took the rose from him. "That can be fixed." she said as she kissed him and turned it to ice.

"Just like old times." he chuckled, wrapping her in his arms.

Better.

FIN.
:P

Wow… its over.

That's it! No sequels, no… whatever. haha. I HATE sequels with a passion, but if I feel the need to, I'll read one or two… but I really can't stand them.

Sachi - joy

Mika - new moon

Atsuko - child of profound emotions
