Epilogue
Sesshomaru awoke as sounds of bickering reached his ears. He opened his eyes in time to see Inu-Yasha get 'sat' by Kagome, for even suggesting that they leave to find more Shikon Shards. They were now back in Kaede's village and things were pretty much back to normal………..
"HENTAI!" came Sango's enraged voice, as she whacked Miroku with her boomerang. Sesshomaru winced when Miroku hit the side of the hut he was now in and landed with a sound splat into a snowdrift. There was an echoing shout of indignation from Kohaku and then a long string of words (directed at Miroku, of course) that did not sound appropriate for an eleven year old to use.
"KOHAKU?!" Sango yelped, in surprise. Apparently Sango felt the same. Deciding that there was no more sleep to be had, Sesshomaru got up. He winced from the sore spot in his back. Even though the wound had healed, he knew that the pain would probably remain with him for the rest of his life, since the weapon that had inflicted the wound had been made with youkai bones. When he stepped outside, he could see that it had begun to snow.
"Sesshomaru-san! Ohayo!" Kagome greeted.
"Ohayo, Kagome-san. Where is Inu-Yasha?" Sesshomaru asked, curious when he didn't see his brother come out to greet him.
"Probably hiding, since tonight's the new moon." Kagome said, giggling when an indignant shout came from the woods.
"I am NOT hiding, Kagome!" Inu-Yasha retorted. Sesshomaru sighed. Yes, this would be an interesting night, he could just feel it. But, then again, when was it not interesting? With a shrug, he went into Kaede's hut; maybe he would find some peace and quiet there…………..so long as Miroku remained unconscious.
