BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
EPILOGUE "By the Light of the Moon"
Kagome smiled as the cool breeze whipped her hair around. She gripped Inuyasha's hand excitedly. "Where are we going?" she asked, trying to peek around the blindfold that was covering her eyes.
Inuyasha sighed. "If I haven't told you the last 18 times you asked me that, what makes you think I'm about to tell you the 19th time?" He laughed at the disappointed expression on Kagome's face, and added, "Look- it's a surprise! You'll find out when it's time!"
Kagome grunted in frustration, but resumed in letting Inuyasha lead her blindly.
Finally, they stopped. Kagome smiled. "Are we there?" she asked.
Inuyasha sighed and chuckled. "Yes, Kagome..." he said, turning her to face him. He leaned in a placed a light kiss on her lips, before taking the blindfold off her eyes.
Kagome blinked her deep brown eyes a few times, and looked around. She gasped. They were standing on soft golden sand, and in front of them the full moon shone brightly; reflecting off the water of the ocean.
Kagome gasped and covered her mouth. "Oh... my... Inuyasha, we're at the beach... and the moon... it's... it's..."
Inuyasha laughed, and wrapped an arm around her. "It's beautiful." He finished for her.
She looked up at him. "How did you know that I always wanted to come here like this?"
Inuyasha smiled and shrugged. "Don't you remember...? Two years ago, I was standing outside with a beautiful young woman in a pink kimono after our a wonderful date, and she told me that she always wanted to go to the beach at night and see the full moon reflecting off the water..."
Kagome smiled then too. "I remember now..." she said, resting her head against Inuyasha's strong chest. "I remember everything."
Inuyasha blushed slightly, and glanced down at the sand. "Hey, Kagome..." he said a moment later. "Look what I found... is it yours?" he asked, reaching down to pick up something from the sand.
Kagome looked into his hand to see a beautiful gold ring sparkling in the moonlight. She frowned. "No... it's not mine..."
Inuyasha smiled. "Are you sure?" he asked, taking her hand, and sliding the ring on her finger. "It fits perfectly..."
Kagome was about to insist it wasn't hers when realization hit her. Her mouth dropped open, and tears came to her eyes as Inuyasha took her face in his hands. "Will you marry me?" he asked.
Kagome moved her mouth to speak, but she found herself temporarily mute. Tears flowed from her eyes, and Inuyasha smiled and wiped them away. Since she couldn't bring herself to answer him, Kagome just smiled and brought her lips to Inuyasha's and kissed him for all she was worth.
When they parted, Inuyasha was a little out of breath. "Was that a yes?" he asked hopefully.
Kagome laughed, and nodded. "Yes, Inuyasha! Of course I'll marry you!"
Inuyasha grinned and hugged Kagome tightly, running his hands through her hair.
Kagome closed her eyes and smiled. Her mind brought her back in time, when she first fell in love with Inuyasha...
There he was, standing under the streetlamp the first night they met... his white hair blowing in the soft wind, gold eyes sparkling; windows to his soul. As he stood there, he seemed to take on a magical form, like that of a heavenly spirit by the night time's peaceful luminescence... by the light of the moon.
