Epilogue.

Dear Diary,

Ryukitchi says that I should keep a diary, to write down my 'thoughts and fears', apparently.

I don't see the point of this, I tell InuYasha everything, but, oh well.

Everything has changed in the last two-and-a-half years, including my life.

Now, after the grand adventure, I don't think everything came back to normal though.

Miroku works now at the library he used to spend so much time at, but he still gets distracted whenever someone female and pretty comes to borrow a book.

Sango had to have the dreaded 'conversation with her boss', but she's stil working for as long as she can, but it just looks like desk work until the due date.

InuYasha, much to spite his brother, went on and he's now one of the CEO's of Linklaters, as well as the heir to the company.

Sesshomaru's not particularl please, but then, when is he ever? .

I'm not so sure how that one happened, Sesshomaru seems way too cold and emotionless for stuff like that, but oh well.

Uso's gotten arrested, but it's still ongoing, he's just hanging out in a prison cell until then.

Kikyou went travelling, I'm not entirely sure where she is right now, but she does occasionally send a post card.

She's getting on better with InuYasha now, she seems to have gotten over everything.

Kouga is currently breaking a mental institution somewhere, InuYasha won't tell me where, but I don't really want to ask.

I'm getting over everything, slowly, I don't need a nightlight anymore.

I still can't stand it when InuYasha touches my neck, but it's not so bad anymore. I can finally ignore the memories.

At the moment, I'm going through a box of mine, well, the box of mine, and it's a few memories that I have. Inside, there's is a small jewellery box. It's empty, but that's because I always wear the necklace that goes within. It's the necklace InuYasha got me the year before last, the heart shaped one with the swirly design. There's also a large, red jumper with an odd shoulder clasp that I'm wearing at the moment. There's my old school timetable, one that I can remember gripping tightly on the first day of my new school. There's a photo of myself and Miroku, with him pointing at my old Chuck Norris cast. There's a leaf from the branch that was outside my old room at my mother's house, and next to that is a leaf from the tree where InuYasha and I had our first date, and a photo of Sango and I when Miroku proposed to her, and the receipt to the first burger I sold at my job. There's a train ticket that InuYasha and I caught when Kohaku had been kidnapped. There's the string that I kept the Shikon No Tama on, and the chain that held it more permanently, and my earrings from my prom. A pressed flower from the garden that the christmas party had been from, and an old fire cracker from when InuYasha and I had first gotten together, the pen I used in my exams, the stickers that Rin gave me at various points and the book I was reading when InuYasha told me he loved me. A photo of me and InuYasha when I was recovering after Kohaku had attacked me. That photo that Miroku took of InuYasha and I when we went to my prom? He got it framed, and it's currently sitting on our new fireplace.

Right next to a sliver of wood, a piece of that old bridge.

I have to go, it sounds like InuYasha's broken something again.

Right now, I'm sitting in the lounge, he and I bought a bigger apartment together.

Yes, the swearing indicates he's broken something valuable.

Will write later,

Kagome


Uwaaaaaaahh! *starts bawling into tissue*

Reviews

Akurai Nightshade, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! Here, I've made you the first review response so you'll see this one! Little25victor, hope this helps with the loose ends. Angelstar, it was seven months, five after Kagome was saved from the bridge, so seven until the wedding. Sorry for forgetting you too!

I just wanna take a moment to tadvertise all of my other stories at the moment, including Live, Laugh, Love, The Orthropaediactrics Centre (cuttently on hiatus atm as I need to re-write a massive section of it after my old computer died :( ), as well as the other stories I have written on my Deviantart account; inukag123 . deviantart . com (of course, without spaces). I've also got three other stories in the making, including possibly a crossover?

Love you all to pieces, including my readers who do not review ( .# )

See you all soon!
