The End of Our Problems and The Start of a Romance

InuYasha

It had been a whole month since everything went down. And nothing else could have been better. All of our enemies were dead. Naraku, Hakudoshi, Koraku, and Kiyuka. All of them. We are able to live in peace.

And I couldn't be happier.

I had my mate and my pup with me. After over two hundred years of being alone, I was finally surrounded by people I could trust. And that was all thanks to Kagome.

Before I met her, I didn't care about a living soul. Yeah sure there was Kikyo, but that was nothing compared to how I fell with Kagome. Kagome was the only one who accepted me for who I am. The only one who has ever done that besides her is my mother. Not even Kikyo completely accepted me. But Kagome did. Now, we are mated, and have a daughter together. The first of many I hope.

I was with them right now. We were all relaxed against the Sacred Tree where Kagome and I first met. Kagome was leaning against my chest cradling our sleeping pup in her arms. I had my arms wrapped around the both of them. Holding 'em close to me. My head was leaning on Kagome's shoulder. We were both watching our daughter sleep peacefully in her blanket.

I couldn't help but smile and gently let my clawed finger stroke her cheek. She slowly opened her eyes and yawned in response. Her mouth opening wide, revealing to small fangs peaking from her gums.

She started to get fidgety in Kagome's arms and whined a little.

"Uh oh." Kagome laughed. "Looks like somebody's hungry." She slowly loosened her kimono and let it slip down one of her shoulders, baring her breast. She gently guided Sakura's head to her breast. As soon as Sakura lips grasped her tip her little fingers reached up to grab her breast, holding it in place is she fed. Kagome was smoothly rubbing her back, encouraging her and gazing at her with love and kindness.

I was watching them both in total adoration. Watching my mate nurse our pup gave me so much pride. It made me so warm inside. My family was taken away from me. And now I have a new one, all my own. The proof was here in my arms. I had never dreamed that I would have the pleasure of having a mate. Much less a child. And watching them now was a without a doubt the most wonderful site I had ever laid eyes on.

One of Kagome's ears twitched and she looked up to smirk at me. "Like what you see?" she asked.

I smiled and kissed her hair. "Very much so. I could get used to this."

She kissed me under my chin and said, "You'll kind of have to for a while. Until she's old enough to not need my breast anymore."

I chuckled and held them tighter. "You don't honestly think that your breasts will be needed for that anymore?"

She sighed. "Not until we have another baby, no. Why?"

I licked her cheek and purred. "I might want to have some myself."

A small gurgle below us interrupted Kagome's reply and we looked down. Ah, looked like Sakura was finished. "Good girl, Sakura." Kagome praised lightly patting her back. She patted a little more, helping her let out a little burp.

"Aw!" I cooed and let her fingers grasp my pinkie. "Id never thought I would go gaga over a baby. Let alone one of my own."

Kagome laughed. "Well something tells me that this is only the first of many more to come. Am I right?"

I lightly bit her ear. "Very much so, mate." A familiar scent hit my nose and I sniffed. "Oh. Sounds like Koga, Ayame and their son Enki are coming this way." I said getting up.

"Really?" She asked as I helped her up, cautious of how she held the pup. Then one hears twitched. "Yeah, your right. I can hear them coming."

Just then the padding of two sets of feet were headed our way. It took another minute before the running ceased and they were right in front of us.

"Hiya!" Ayame cheered.

"Yo." Koga greeted.

"Hey, guys." Kagome greeted and I just smiled. Kagome looked down at Enki. "Hey there, Enki. How are you?"

He just blushed and hid behind Ayame's leg.

Koga laughed. "Don't mind that he's just shy. He takes after his mother with that."

Ayame grinned. "It's true. I was just like that when I was his age."

I shook my head and chuckled. "How old is he?"

"He just turned four two moons ago." Koga said ruffling his hair.

Kagome laughed and slowly walked up to them, holding Sakura close to her. "It's nice to see you guys again. We haven't seen you guys since…that happened."

Koga smiled. "Yeah. Sorry we haven't been around since then. We've had to keep things settled back at the tribe."

Kagome nodded, "I understand." Sakura giggled and clapped as she saw the familiar faces.

Ayame's eyes glowed. "Aw! Look at that. She remembers us. How ya doing, little one?" She asked wiggling her fingers at our pup.

Koga even smiled and walked over to look at her. "She has Kagome's face but InuYasha's eyes."

I walked up to them and gently brushed my daughter's hair. "Kaiyaku said that in about another month or so, we'll be able to tell which of our demon blood flows through her more."

Ayame cocked her head to the side. "Doesn't she have both of you in her?"

I nodded. "She does. And she always will. But there's one part of us that will reach out stronger than the other. Whether it is her cat demon or dog demon blood. We'll just have to wait and see."

Enki peeked his head out from behind Ayame's leg to look up at Kagome. His gaze was fixated on Sakura wrapped in the blanket as Kagome rocked her gently in her arms. He looked up at his mother and tugged gently on her pelt. "Mama?" He asked.

She looked down at him then knelt down so he could whisper in her ear. After he pulled away she smiled and nodded before straightening back up. She turned to Kagome. "Do you mind if Enki has a look at your pup?" She asked. "He wants to meet her."

Kagome smiled and nodded. "Of course." She slowly knelt down on the ground and looked at Enki, who was still hiding behind Ayame's legs. "Hello, Enki." She murmured. "Would you like to see my baby?"

He blinked once then slowly walked around his mother's legs and up to Kagome.

She gently adjusted the baby that way he could see her face. Enki froze. Once he saw her face, he seemed to be drawn to her. He slowly walked closer to our baby and held his hand out to her. Sakura seemed just as mesmerized as he was. She reached her tiny little hands out to him. Trying to reach him.

Sakura hurried his pace and gently took her tiny hand in his. As soon as their hands touched…something happened.

The air around us seemed to spark. The aura surrounding all around us seemed to elevate into something strong.

Enki smiled widely and gently stroked her little cheek. "Sa…Sakura." He said softly.

I looked over at Koga and Ayame who were gaping at their son. Koga broke the silence. "Is that your daughter's name? Sakura?"

I nodded slowly. "We named her after my mother. Why?"

Koga looked at Ayame before looking back at me. "'Sakura' was his first word." He rubbed Ayame's shoulder. "And that was two years ago."

I gasped as I watched our daughter and their son smile and laugh with each other. Kagome looked over her shoulder and at me. I nodded to her…then nodded to Koga and Ayame.

"You know what this means." Koga said.

I nodded and looked back at our children. "They've bonded."

Six hours later

"Well that was one heck of a day." I said flopping down on our futon.

Kagome straightened up her kimono and sat down next to me. She had just fed Sakura and put her to bed. "I know. She's not even a year old and has already found her mate." She frowned at my growl. "Oh don't be like that." She lied down next to me.

I sighed and rolled on my side to face her. "I can't help it. I didn't think I would have to worry about something like this for another thirty years."

She raised a brow. "Why thirty? I was eighteen when we mated."

I scowled. "Thirty because I say so."

She rolled her eyes. "We won't have to worry about her being interested in boys for some time. And I doubt that Koga and Ayame will let Enki do anything either."

I grumbled and pulled her into my arms. "Yeah I guess." I fading scent filled my nose and I pulled back to grin at her. "You missed some breast milk."

She blushed and bolted up. Looking over her kimono. "Where did I miss?! I can't find it!"

Without words, I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back down on the futon. She looked up at me as I crawled on top of her. "Inu…InuYasha." She whispered.

I smiled and slowly pulled her kimono to the side to reveal her pale breasts. Ah hah! There it was. On her right nipple laid the remains of her breast milk. My tongue slipped over my lips and bent down over her breast, licking her nipple before taking it into my mouth. Taking the other one to fill my hand.

She gasped and arched her back, pressing her breast further into my mouth. I moaned as the essence leaked from her breast and into my mouth. "You taste delicious, Kagome."

She bit her lip. "InuYasha, we can't!" She whimpered. "We'll wake up Sakura."

I smiled against her breast. "She's sleeping. You just fed her. But now I think its time you fed me." I pulled her nipple back into my mouth, sucking on it like my pup did not ten minutes ago.

After a few more minutes of nursing from my mate, I pulled away and stroked her cheek. "I love you, Kagome."

She smiled. "I love you too. Since I don't want to wake the baby, I won't say it." I grinned. "But will torment you with how our daughter already has bonded with a mate."

I looked at her with horror. "Aw crap."

"Watch your mouth!"

I grumbled but lied back down next to her and held her against my chest. Despite the little irritation I had. I was happy. I had my mate and my pup safe with me. What I've always wanted.

Now there's that whole Enki issue.

This is going to be an interesting few years.

I want to thank all of you guys so much for being patient after what happened. It was your support and reviews that helped me heal from losing my dog Buddy. So I hoped that you all enjoyed my story. Thank you so much.
