Kagome hummed to herself happily as she and sango washed laundry in the river. Sango stopped for a moment to look at her, smiling. "So kagome, how are you feeling this morning? Any better?" Kagome sighed. "Nope. Not at all. And before you even ask me, no he does not know, and neither do the kids or anyone else. You're the only one I've told sis." Sango giggled and smiled at her nickname kagome and she had given each other so long ago. "Well, at least we're in the same boat now. Lets just hope our kids don't have any for a few years at least." Kagome giggled and nodded. "At least the only ones we have to worry about are riku and shippo, koji and machiko, or hera and Ares, rin and sesshomarus child." Sangos eye twitched. "Oh yeah. ALL we have to worry about...that's three out of four couples! I think you need to redo your math kagome!" Kagome giggled. "Lets just hope our husbands havent killed each other yet." Sango looked up, smiling. "Apparently not. They're walking this way." She suddenly frowned. "Kagome? Miroku looks like he's seen a ghost...and inuyashas...laughing?" Kagome looked up and stared in confusion as they approached.
Inuyasha was still laughing his ass off as miroku walked in shock beside him. Miroku finally approached sango and tried to speak, opening and closing his mouth a few times before he managed to say anything at all. "S...sango? I don't usually say this, but...inuyasha was right..." "about what miroku?" Sango asked curiously. Instead of explaining, he merely stepped aside as sora and rika approached with a bundle in rikas arms. "Hey mom..." rika smiled nervously. "Meet Aphrodite, your new granddaughter." Sango stared for a minute before looking around at kagome. Kagome was staring back at her, just as shocked. "Wh...wha...how...?" Kagome finally asked. Sora explained about the village over being destroyed and adopting the baby. Kagome sighed and shook her head. "How many more people must die before that bastard can be killed? We must go at once to confront him. Sora, rika, im putting you two in charge of the village while we are gone. Keep the villagers safe. We will depart in the morning." Sora nodded solemnly.
