Chapter 15
The Aftermath
*~*~*
The next morning, the entire group was awake. Shippou had decided to stay at Kaede's village, while Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha had decided to travel away from the village, to keep every one of the villagers safe.
"I wish ye the best of luck," Kaede said. "Don't forget that the shards of the sacred jewel are in Naraku's neck." Inuyasha nodded, and they were off. Miroku and Sango were riding atop Kirara, while Inuyasha was leaping fast.
Inuyasha looks determined. Even more so than he usually does, Miroku noted, as he watched the hanyou. Well, he better watch out. I'll help him.
*~*~*
When they stopped, Sango realized they were in a beautiful meadow. We are going to fight... here? She thought. Sango really didn't want to ruin the natural beauty of the area.
"I smell him."
"You do? You smell Naraku?" Sango asked, nervously, as she reached behind her for the Hiraikotsu.
"Yeah, not only him but Kikyo and Kagura," Inuyasha said. "And I can barely smell out Sesshoumaru's scent."
Just as Inuyasha said these words, a blast of power from an arrow flew out of the forest surrounding the meadow. It hit the tree behind the group, and they flipped their heads to where the arrow came from. Sure enough, there was Kikyo, holding her bow.
"Inuyasha!" She yelled. "You betrayed me... again!" Inuyasha winced at the words, as she continued. "You fell in love with my reincarnation!"
"Kukuku! You filthy hanyou! You are just as weak as your father was! You mated with a pathetic human wench just as he did!" Naraku said from the treetops. Inuyasha immediately became angry.
"Never.Talk.About.My.Father.Like.That!" He yelled, pulling out the Tetsusaiga. Sango yelled at him.
"Stop, Inuyasha! He's trying to make you do that! Don't fall into his trap like you did before!" She said. Inuyasha growled towards the treetops, and put the transformed Tetsusaiga back into it's sheath.
"And feeling pity for youkai... just like your stupid mother! Kukukuku!" Naraku yelled down. Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. This time, he pulled out Tetsusaiga again, and, taking one swipe with the sword, shredded the tree. Naraku just barely leapt out into the meadow, with Kagura following him.
"Kagura, kill the taijiya and the houshi. I'll take care of the hanyou," Naraku said.
"No."
"What did you just say?!" Naraku demanded. Kagura stood her ground.
"I said no." With that, Kagura took one of her fans, and spun it towards Naraku. It cut off one of his arms. As she did that, a huge white dog appeared.
"Well, then Sesshoumaru and I will destroy you!" Naraku said. (a/n: he just sounded a little bit like Jaken. O.o)
The white dog changed to Sesshoumaru. The inu-youkai glared at the two hanyous.
"Stupid hanyous," Sesshoumaru said. He showed his poison claw towards Naraku, and flew towards him. But Naraku ran. Inuyasha cornered the other hanyou with the Tetsusaiga.
"Prepare to die," Inuyasha said, raising the Tetsusaiga. Naraku smirked, as an arrow shot by Kikyo moved Inuyasha's attack to the tree behind him.
"Die, Inuyasha!" Kikyo said. Miroku ran in front of the hanyou, and opened the kazaana. It sucked up the arrow and Kikyo.
"Gomen, Inuyasha. I didn't mean to..." Miroku said. Inuyasha wasn't paying any attention to the monk. The hanyou now held the sword next to Naraku's neck.
"Any last words?" Inuyasha asked, sadistically. (a/n: inuyasha's enjoying the fact that he's killing Naraku, that's why it's sadistic) Naraku smirked.
"See you in hell," Naraku said, before Tetsusaiga sliced his throat.
*~*~*
Shortly after the battle, Inuyasha looked at the ashes of Naraku, staring at the shard. He couldn't touch it until Kagome purified it, but that wasn't the problem. Naraku didn't put up much of a fight. It was as if... he had some kind of plan beyond the afterlife...
Inuyasha didn't think too much into it, as he trudged over to Miroku and Sango. Kagura and Sesshoumaru had both left directly after the battle.
"I'm going to get Kagome. You two watch that shard. Make sure no youkai tries to get it."
"Hai, Inuyasha?" Sango asked, before he left. "Keep Kagome safe. You heard what Naraku said. He knows something we don't."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Watch that shard."
*~*~*
Kagome sighed, as she watched her mother, intently. She had just told her mother, Souta, and Jii-chan that she was officially 'married' to Inuyasha by youkai standards, and now she was afraid of their reactions.
"YES! I KNEW IT!!" Souta yelled, first. Everyone sweatdropped. "What? You could tell that he was gonna ask soon."
"Kagome... I don't know what to say..." Mrs. Higurashi said. Kagome closed her eyes, afraid of the end of her mother's statement. She waited for a minute, before opening her eyes, and saw Mrs. Higurashi glare at Jii-chan. "I told you that he'd ask in the Sengoku Jidai! Now, give me that yen!"
"You mean... you BETTED on me?!" Kagome asked, incredulously.
"Only about how long it'd take that nice young man to ask you to marry him!" Mrs. Higurashi said, after counting the money Jii-chan gave her.
"So... you're okay with it?" Kagome asked. Mrs. Higurashi nodded.
"Just as long as you have grandchildren with that young man's adorable ears!"
Kagome just face faulted.
*~*~*
Inuyasha crawled out of the well, and found Kagome waiting, patiently, beside the well in her shrine. She had a bright smile on her face, and her eyes were shining.
"Thank Kami you're fine!" She exclaimed, hugging him tightly. Inuyasha smiled, while she couldn't see his face.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Inuyasha said. "I see you're all packed." He noted the many bags that were in the well house. Kagome grinned.
"Well, I was waiting for awhile," Kagome said.
"Good, 'cause we have to leave now," Inuyasha said. "I couldn't get the shards that Naraku dropped."
"Oh, so I've now been dropped down to being a Tama detector again?" Kagome asked, trying to pull off an angry face as her mouth formed a smile.
"No!" Inuyasha said, not knowing that Kagome was just joking with him.
"I'm kidding, Inuyasha! I'll go! Wait a minute, though. Souta wants to give you something," Kagome said, as her little brother came in.
"Inuyasha! There you are! Here. Someone that looked like you, 'cept he had black hair and purple eyes gave me this to give to you!" Souta gave him a round package with a note. "Don't worry. I didn't open it. Oh! Kagome, be careful, kay? I don't want Big brother Inuyasha to try and save your butt again and again."
"Souta!" Kagome said, mock glaring at him.
"Ja, Inuyasha!" Souta said, running out.
"Just as I thought. He'll just say bye to you and not to his only sister!" Kagome said, while turning to face Inuyasha, who was busy trying to read the note. "Here, let me."
"Dear Inuyasha and Kagome,
Now that you're reading this, I guess you know now that the future has been changed. For the better, I'm hoping. Kidome disappeared, I have no idea where she went to.
I'm happier now than I ever have been, and it's thanks to you two.
Congratulations on the pup!
Yours,
Inuyasha"
"PUP?!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha grinned. "You knew the entire time?!" She yelled, after seeing his face.
"Well... hanyous can smell differences in scents, ya know..." Inuyasha drifted off, as Kagome pulled him down for a kiss.
"Did I tell ya that I love ya, you baka?" Kagome said.
"I don't remember... maybe I got knocked out by the battle," Inuyasha answered, with a glint in his eyes.
"Aishiteru, Inuyasha," Kagome said, kissing him again.
"I love you too, Kagome."
*~*~*
Four Years Later
*~*~*
"Miyu! Maru! Dinner time!" Kagome's voice rang through the valley. She leaned against a post on the front of her house, as two four year olds ran up to them. Miyu and Maru were identical twins, with the dog ears that came from their father, and their hair a light blue, a mixture of their parents'. Miyu had violet eyes, while Maru had gold eyes. They both had little claws and fangs.
"Hai, Okaa-chan?" Miyu asked. "Is Otou-chan home yet?"
As the little girl asked the question, a male voice was heard coming from their gate.
"Tadaima, minna!" Inuyasha called. Maru and Miyu both smiled, as they ran to their father.
"Otou-chan!!" They both yelled.
Kagome just stayed at the post, smiling at her now human husband.
"Maru! Did you climb the tree again?" Inuyasha asked his son. Maru grinned as he nodded.
"Yep! All the way towards the top!" Maru said, proudly. Miyu butted in.
"And I flew all the way to Aunt Sango and Uncle Miroku's houses!" She said. Inuyasha smiled at his twins.
"Come on! The food's not gonna stay warm!" They heard from the house. Inuyasha looked up at his wife, Kagome, as he remembered a memory from not-to-long ago.
"Aishiteru, Inuyasha."
"I love you, too, Kagome."
*~*~*
