I do not own Inuyasha

Epilogue

Five years later…

Currently Sesshomaru and Rin were laying in bed enjoying the silence that morning until their four pups decided to wake them for the day. Rin could actually sense them coming down the hall as quietly as they could. What are those four planning? Rin opened her eyes to see if Sesshomaru was awake. From the speed his heart was at he was not. Then she heard the door open. Rin sat up to see eight pairs of eyes staring right back at her. She motioned for them to come, putting a finger to her lips for them to stay quiet. They came over quietly so as not to disturb their father and gathered around their mother, being careful of her belly. Rin was pregnant again, but this time it was with twins. "Mommy, can we wake up daddy now?" Daisuke asked, her first born. "Hai, but let me out of bed first before you do." Rin looked at Sesshomaru and saw that he was awake now, but was faking it. You are as conniving as your children are Sesshomaru. Rin then got up and went to the water closet to freshen up for the day. She heard Daisuke whisper, "One, two,-" He didn't even get to three because she started to hear squeals and laughter when Sesshomaru surprised them. "Daddy! Stop that tickles!" "You think you can sneak up on me you have another thing coming little ones!" Rin couldn't help but smile at the scene which greeted her when she walked out of the water closet. She couldn't believe it has been five years since they were born. Now in about two months she was going to give birth to two more. They named them Daisuke, Akemi, Haruki and Hiraku. They were her precious angels when they weren't causing mischief.

"Okay children, off the bed, it's time to go get some breakfast." "Yay! Breakfast!" they all squealed and ran from the room. She was about to follow when Sesshomaru pulled her back and turned her around. "I love you Rin." Rin smiled at him and gave him a chaste kiss. "I love you too." Sesshomaru quickly got dressed and followed her out the door. Following their children's scents to the dining room, they found them already seated, waiting patiently for their food. Once Sesshomaru and Rin sat down next to their children, servants came in with their meal. Daisuke sat next to his father, they were absolutely identical to each other, it was almost frightening, then there was Akemi who was his complete opposite. The only similarities between them were the crescent moon and the gold eyes. Haruki and Hiraku were identical to the tee. Unlike their older brother though they only had one stripe on each cheek making them look similar to their grandfather. They were the instigators of the bunch, but all of them were incredibly smart, learning quickly despite their age.

Once they were all done with their meal Rin suggested that they go for a walk in the garden to enjoy the day before lessons. The children happily agreed. As a family they made it over to the western gardens. It was cherry blossom season and it looked like it was snowing, but with flower petals. The children went ahead of them and started playing hide and seek. Rin went over to a bench and sat down, Sesshomaru joining her. Rin smiled at her children's game. It was a good game to test their senses with. Akemi though decided to come over and sat at her parents feet. "Mommy?" "Hai Akemi?" "How did you and daddy meet?" Rin was a little shocked to say the least. Hearing the question Akemi asked, the boys decided to come over and listen to the story too. They all looked expectantly at her. "Well, I met your father by accident. I was in the woods trying to find stuff to eat because at the time I was eight years old, alone without a family, mute and human." Her children gasped at this part. "How is that possible mommy?" Haruki asked. "That is another story for another day, but anyways I stumbled across him leaning against a tree injured. I tried to help him the best I knew how, giving him food and water which he rejected by saying 'Mind your own business girl. Your generosity is wasted. I don't eat human food.' But I kept on going back until one night I was in the village's fish reserves when they caught me and beat me." They all gasped again. Rin smiled a reassuring smile and continued. "The next day I went again, bringing what little food I could find. He says 'No thanks.' I still tried to give it to him. 'I told you I don't need anything from you.' I look down disappointed. Then he asks a question I never thought he'd ask. 'Where did you get those bruises? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.' For some reason that little inquiry made my heart soar. He turned to look at me and I smiled. 'What are you smiling about? I simply asked a question. I don't care I'm just curious.' I just kept on smiling even when I left to go back to the village." All of them just stared at her in awe. "What happened next?" "I died," Rin said simply making the children look confused. "You see children, your mother's village was attacked by wolves and your mother while trying to get to me, was caught and killed. I was actually on my way out when I smelled her blood. I got curious and followed the scent leading me to her dead body in the middle of the pathway." "Tenseiga," Daisuke simply stated. Sesshomaru nodded. "I brought your mother back from the dead using Tenseiga and she has followed me ever since." Sesshomaru then looked at Rin and leaned in for a kiss which Rin happily accepted making the children look away in embarrassment at their parents display of affection.

"Okay children time for lessons," Rin said breaking away from Sesshomaru and standing up. Sesshomaru didn't immediately start to follow. He just stared, admiring his growing family from a distance. It has been a long hard road to get where he is right now, in this moment. He would not change it for the world especially the day he met his dear Rin. "Sesshomaru you coming?" "Yeah daddy! Come on!" He quickly got up and joined them. Taking Rin's hand he walked with her and their children back to the house and to the rest of their lives together as a family.

The End.
