I made a boo-boo last chappy, and during the lemon! Gah! What was I doing? That's like the worst place to have a mistake ever! I must have been pretty lazy when I was editing. Shame on me, shaaaaame, ChaoticReverie! How embarrassing. I fixed it though, thanks to Seli. Isn't that the worst, though? When you're reading a juicy lemon and you're really into it and all of a sudden… SPELLING ERROR! It just kills it. I'm so disappointed in myself. Oh well, no supper for me tonight!

And thank you for guessing Seli, but actually Tsuyu, Dojou, Hibana, and Uindo don't mean Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Very close though. They are branch off words of their elements. I wanted to be somewhat creative. I'm going to tell you though, since only one person has guessed so far.

I also made a spelling error on the name of the earth spirit. It should have been 'Dojou', not 'Doujo'. But I cleaned it all up!

Tsuyu… Dew

Dojou… Soil

Hibana… Spark

Uindo… Wind

Anyways… on with the Disclaimer! Unfortunately this is the last chapter with the exception of the Epilogue. Enjoy this entry and, of course, the slight lemon, which is dedicated to Kagmaru.

Disclaimer: I OWN IT, IT'S ALL MINE! (laughs wildly while strumming fingers together) …Oh, hello there, Rumiko Takahashi… he he… What? I never said that… Inuyasha belongs solely to you!

Fairytale Cliché

Sighing as her lover led her to the stables, Kagome whined, "Sesshomaru, what is it that you want me to see?"

"In due time, pet," he chastised, wagging a finger at her. Tugging her into the barn, he motioned for her to approach the stable nearest to the back.

Scampering up to the stall, Kagome peered over the edge and squealed at what she found. Mischief, the horse she had grown so fond of during her travels, stood munching happily at a pile of hay. The steed lifted its head and eyed her, a small twinkle deep within her onyx depths.

Shaking fingers ran anxiously over the velvety surface of Mischief's nose, a cheery grin painting her countenance as she stroked the mare's long, black mane. The midnight steed merely gave a small nod and snorted before turning back to her hay.

Whirling around to face Sesshomaru, she screeched, "How did this… I mean-"

"I bought her from the owner as a gift for you, koi," he answered softly, claws trailing her arms.

"But, how is it possible? We just got back and she's already-"

He silenced her with a gentle finger to the lips, mouth tilting in a cocky smile as he replied, "I have my ways, koi. You forget to whom you speak. This Sesshomaru is capable of anything."

Throwing herself against him, the young priestess kissed her mate feverishly, her hands twining into his hair as she tugged him over to a large stack of hay in the corner.


"Would you look at that," Keiko whispered as she nudged Kagome gently in the side.

Following her companion's finger, Kagome smiled as she caught sight of the children. The poor dears had completely worn themselves out and were sleeping soundly on a heap of pillows.

Placing her hand over her lips to stifle a giggle, she supposed, "Perhaps we should get them into bed."

"Allow me to assist you," Keiko offered, following alongside Kagome as she knelt down next to the slumbering children.

"My thanks, Keiko," Kagome gratified, lifting both Rin and Yumi into her arms. Pausing as the pretty, ginger haired demoness hoisted the fox kit up, the young miko made her way through the bustling crowd and into the hallway.

"What will you do now, Lady Kagome?" the she demon queried as they padded silently down the corridor.

"What do you mean?"

"Now that the war is over, and Naraku defeated, what will you do?" Keiko explicated; her tone soft as she carried the young demon in her arms.

Shrugging, Kagome smiled and answered, "I will stay with Sesshomaru, and raise a family. He and I have been granted a very important mission, to guard the jewel."

Nodding, the pretty demon female furthered, "Yes, it must be a great honor to be chosen as the eternal guardian of the Shikon-no-tama."

Laughing to herself more than anyone, Kagome supposed, "Someone needed to do it, and I suppose, since I was born with it inside my body, that I would be the most suitable candidate. Personally I think there are a lot of stronger people out there that could have done the job."

Smiling, Keiko commented, "Stronger yes, but none as pure, Lady Kagome. You are the hope in a world full of chaotic turmoil. I am relieved and glad to know that the Shikon will be in your capable hands."

"You flatter me, Lady Keiko," Kagome teased, blushing all the while.

Reaching the children's quarters, she pushed the door open and stepped inside, making her way carefully to the futon. Waiting until Keiko had set Shippou down, she placed a still snoozing Yumi next to him, watching as the young girl snuggled into the kits warmth. Almost instantly the young boy lifted his arm to wrap it around her, engulfing her in his comforting embrace.

"I see we have yet another couple in the western home," the auburn hair demoness observed.

A soft smile cept over her lips as her son and his newly acquired companion huddled together under the sheets. "So it would seem," she replied, slipping out of the room quietly.

Crossing the hall to Rin's room, they soundlessly tucked the child into bed and made their way back to the ballroom. Upon entering, they were greeted by several welcoming faces, respect etched into each one as the young miko weaved her way through the crowd, looking eagerly for her mate. Keiko branched off to find her own husband, leaving the little priestess alone to search for hers.

Before she could, however, a strong, clawed hand settled on her shoulder, and she turned to find Kouga smiling down at her. "Hello, Lord Kouga," she greeted with a bow.

"Don't call me that, Kagome," the young ookami insisted, blushing slightly, "it makes me feel old."

Giggling, Kagome corrected herself, "My apologies, Kouga. Is there something you require?"

"Not really" he answered sheepishly, "I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done. I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't met you. Now, because of you, I'm happily mated to Ayame."

"That's wonderful!" she exclaimed, resting a hand on his bicep. Remembering that she had a husband to look for, Kagome excused herself, "I really must go and find Sesshomaru. I'll see you around."

"Indeed," he remarked, giving a slight bow as she performed one as well.

Turning to continue with her little escapade, Kagome was once again interrupted as Inuyasha stepped in front of her.

"Kagome," he began, eyes cast to the floor, "I just wanted to say that I hope you and Sesshomaru have a nice life together."

"Thank you, Inuyasha," she whispered, "for everything. I really appreciate you coming to help us fight; we couldn't have done it without you."

Blushing, the young pup went on, "Well then… I hope to see you in the future."

Smiling, Kagome assured him, "You are always welcome in the western home, Inuyasha. Please, stay and enjoy the party."

In a sudden, unexpected move, the hanyou gripped her tightly around the waist and pulled her into a crushing hug, nose buried in her hair.

Taking a second to grasp the fact that he was holding her, Kagome gingerly returned the hug, grinning and patting his back.

"Excuse me," a quiet, feminine voice piped up.

Breaking the hug, Kagome peeked over her shoulder and found an attractive, golden haired demoness standing behind her.

Deep grey eyes sparkling with shy determination, the young she demon went on, "You are Lord Inuyasha, correct?"

Blinking as he took in the sight of the angel before him, Inuyasha stammered, "Uh… yeah… well, I don't know about the Lord part but… yeah."

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, the young woman went on, "I'm Ari. I was wondering if you might give me a tour of the grounds."

Scratching his head nervously, the flustered hanyou mumbled, "I can't say as I remember this place too well, but I can walk you around if you want."

"I'd like that," she replied, smiling prettily as she reached out and looped her arm through his.

Snickering, Kagome gave the embarrassed hanyou a teasing spank and whispered, "Go get her, tiger."

Watching the couple walk away, Kagome knew instantly that Inuyasha had found his soul mate, and she was willing to bet that there would be yet another couple in the Taisho family.

"Mate, here you are," Sesshomaru's unmistakable voice sighed into her ear.

Letting out a sigh of her own, Kagome leaned back into the waiting embrace of her lover, smiling as she watched the silver haired hanyou from afar. "It seems my wish is coming true quicker than I had anticipated."

"Hn, indeed," Sesshomaru affirmed when he caught sight of his younger brother. Gaze shifting from his sibling to his mate, the western Lord took her tenderly by the arm and whispered, "Come, koi, I have something to show you."

"What is it?" she queried in a curious tone.

Lifting a silver brow, the inu Lord replied, "Be patient and you will find out."

Pouting as her lover whisked her onto the balcony; Kagome giggled when he held her close and began paving a trail of kisses down her neck.

Nibbling at her ear, Sesshomaru lifter her into his powerful arms and leapt off the veranda, landing effortlessly on the grassy earth below. "Close your eyes," he instructed in a husky whisper.

Tittering lightly, the young miko did as she was told and held on tight as her demonic lover sped off into the forest surrounding his palace.

Stopping once he had reached his destination, the young Lord placed his mate carefully on her feet, turning her so that her back was to him before whispering, "You may look, koi."

Doing just that, Kagome found herself at a loss for words at the sight she was currently beholding. They were currently perched atop a grassy slope, a field of glistening white lilies lying below, shimmered under the light of the moon. Gasping at the heavenly view, she took a step forward, murmuring, "It's beautiful."

"I though you might appreciate it," Sesshomaru informed her, kissing her cheek.

"Thank you so much, Sesshou," she cooed, eyes sweeping across the sea of white. Childish behavior kicking in, the young priestess flopped down on the ground and rolled down the hill, giggling all the way to the bottom. When she tumbled into the lilies, a large cloud of silver butterflies billowed around her, dancing on the cool evening air.

As he stood and watched from above, he decided to himself that he had never seen such an enchanting picture as this. His mate sat jubilantly at the bottom of the slope, a smile painting her perfect features. With lilies surrounding her and butterflies prancing on the breeze, she looked exactly like an angel might. From high above, the moon cast its light upon the little tenshi, illuminating the perfect picture even more so.

Approaching slowly, he came to kneel before her, fingers combing through her tousled locks. She laughed again, the soft, feminine tinkle sounding like the pleasant chime of a bell. When one of the winged insects landed on her nose, she pouted cutely and crossed her eyes, lips pursing so she could blow the creature away.

Chuckling when the stubborn bug refused to move, he leaned forward and plucked it from its perch by the wings, setting it carefully on a lily. Crawling forward, so that he could spread his little miko out on the bed of flowers, Sesshomaru placed a tender kiss on her lips, smiling when she blushed a little.

As she stared up into the masculine but beautiful face of her mate, Kagome thanked her lucky stars for the good fortune that she had been blessed with. Lifting her arms to loop them around his neck, she lifted herself from the ground and kissed him slowly yet passionately, her tongue sweeping across the seam of his mouth.

"Make love to me, Sesshomaru," she whispered, legs spreading so that he might situate himself between them.

Settling himself overtop his mate, the amber eyed inu slid his fingers into the folds of her white and crimson kimono, working the fabric apart until her breasts were bared to his hungry eyes. Flicking a taut, rosy peak with his claw, he moaned when a small squeak was elicited from her. Yanking off the long, red obi, he pushed the cloth aside until she lay completely unhindered below him.

Sighing as his diligent hands began massaging her breasts; Kagome lifted her lower half off the ground, rubbing her self against his stiffened member. Feeling the hard bulge through the thin layer of silk, she smiled saucily and tugged at the tie to his hakamma, yearning to have his thick, rigid girth inside of her once more.

She had spent hours inside, attending the celebration of their victory, and she was rather eager to feel him yet again. They had, of course, mated when she attempted to give him a massage, which had not come as much of a surprise. They had done it in the stable as well, though she had instigated that round.

Gasping when she was brought out of her little reverie by the feeling of Sesshomaru plunging into her, Kagome cried out in jubilation and rocked forward, her body shuddering as the powerful male above her thrust into her yet again. Grasping his broad back for dear life, the young, raven haired miko screamed into the night as her mate sunk his fangs into her neck, his tongue lapping at the abundant flow of blood that gushed forth.

The butterflies settled once again around the mating couple, delicate silver wings beating lazily as they drank the sweet nectar the lilies provided. The ancient face of the moon smiled down upon the pair of lovers, its brilliance illuminating the soft, white petals of the flowers surrounding them, showering them in an array of lights.

As two passionate proclamations rang through the air, the small, angelic insects took to the sky once more, fluttering about as the Shikon Guardians began their ageless dance yet again.

Yaaaaayyyyyyy! And our dramatic, peculiar pair finally has a chance to live happily ever after. I know a lot of you are like, oh that's so cliché… but hey… look at the title of the chapter. Besides, if you think about it, it isn't entirely happy. I mean immortality would be a burden… watching everyone you love grow old and die. Sorry to kill the mood, but I had to make sure it had a somewhat tragic/happy ending. Just like every anime seems to.

Anywho, as I said, there will be a short epilogue coming up tomorrow. All of you have a Happy New Year! Hoorah, 2007!

Review please, before you're too drunk to do so properly! Ahhhahahahahaha…
