Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha. They all went back to their own time. Oh great! They left me to clean up! What a bunch of…!
Epilogue
Kagome and InuYasha sat side by side and looked at their children, glad that they were safe and well. The two were curled up with Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Shippo, and sleeping peacefully. Jakken lay at his master's feet with his small arms clutching the two headed staff. Sango was sleeping on Miroku's shoulder, who was resting his head on top of hers, and Kouga slept with his back against a boulder, his tail curling about his feet. Kirara was curled up in her mistress's lap, sleeping soundly. They were all exhausted from the battle, and InuYasha had agreed to stay up and be the watchman for the night. Kagome had also agreed to do so, now that her children were safe and sound, she did not want to take her eyes of them.
"They stopped growing," InuYasha said softly as he pulled Kagome closer to his side.
"That's because they removed the shards from their bodies, and gave them to Sesshoumaru," Kagome replied as she rested her head against her mate's shoulder, "Now that Sesshoumaru is fully healed we can take the shards back and add them to the others that Sakura gave me. How on Earth did she mange to get those shards from Naraku anyway? My guess is that he has at least ten left, and he must not be happy that he lost all these shards." InuYasha nodded his head as he gazed at his children. They were indeed strong youkai, but they were much stronger than any other youkai, and they were certainly much stronger than that of Naraku. Why did they not finish him off when they had the chance? Why did they wait for him and the others to show up?
InuYasha gave himself a mental shake and scolded himself to forget about it. All that mattered was that the twins were safe and Naraku was injured. I hope he dies from his wounds. It will give me the satisfaction that I caused his death, even thought I was not there physically to do it. I'm glad that I caused all those wounds to his body. InuYasha thought to himself. The children stirred and Sesshoumaru held them closer to his body, and they drifted back into their sleep.
"In any case," InuYasha said, "We will be ready for him next time, right Kagome?" Kagome nodded her head and the two parents kissed in the light of the dying fire. In the dreams of the twins, they all sat underneath the shade of a tree playing while their father sat up in his tree, daydreaming.
