The Prom

Chapter Seventeen

Peace At Last

The sun was slowly starting rise, awakening the world from it's sleep. The light poured

throughout the lands of the feadal era, letting everyone know it was morning. The

sunlight finally approached a wooden house deep in the forest where no one could find it.

It was a two story house and had flower beds surrounding it with a garden in the back

filled with vegetables. As the sunlight poured in through the window's a certain half

demon was now awake.

Opening his eyes slowly, Inu-Yasha rubbed his eyes and yawned, revealing his sharp

fangs. Closing his eyes again, he snuggled closer to the other half demon beside him.

He inhaled her scent and wrapped his arm around her waist tighter. Half opening his

eyes, he stared into his mates sleeping face. Sighing he closed his eyes and tried to go

back to sleep. Just when sleep was about to take him . . .

"Mommy! Daddy!" cried a voice.

Both Inu-Yasha and Kagome sat up and watched as two children ran into the room,

jumping on their parents bed. Before Kagome and Inu-Yasha could speak they each had

a child in their lap.

"It's morning! It's morning!" cried the one on Inu-Yasha's lap. He was about six years

old and was half demon like his mom and dad.

"Indeed it is Daniel," mumbled Inu-Yasha as he patted his son on the head. He had

fangs and claws like his parents, but had white hair like his father, but had blue-greenish

eyes like his mother.

"You promised to teach us tracking today!" squealed the little girl on Kagome's lap who

was only five. She also had fangs and claws like bother her parents, but she had

inherited Kagome's black hair and Inu-Yasha's golden eyes.

"I know I did. Can you two leave for a second so your mother and I can get out of

bed?" yawned Inu-Yasha.

"Okay!" said Daniel, "Come on Sakura! Let's go outside!"

Daniel grabbed his sister and gave her a piggy back ride out of the room and down the

stairs.

Inu-Yasha gave a sigh before laying back down in an attempt to sleep again. However

he was once interrupted as he felt a pair of lips on his. Without opening his eyes, he

kissed Kagome back, and pulled her onto his chest.

"You did promise," mumbled Kagome as they parted for air.

Inu-Yasha nodded as he stroked his mate's cheek, while the other hand was rubbing her

ear. "I know, but I don't want to get up quite yet,"

Kagome layed her head on Inu-Yasha's chest and snuggled into his warmth. Seven

years had passed since the night with Kikyo, and both Inu-Yasha and Kagome couldn't

have been happier. They had been married by Miroku and had lived in peace without

any demons attacking them or anything.

"Inu-Yasha?" asked Kagome.

"Hmm?"

"Are you happy with your life?" Kagome almost yelped in surprise as Inu- Yasha

flipped her so she was on her back and he was on top of her. "Of course I am you silly

girl," whispered Inu-Yasha as he kissed her. "Shall we join our children down stairs?"

Kagome nodded. She and Inu-Yasha both got up and changed into their usual clothing.

As they walked down stairs they could hear the squeals from both their children who

were outside playing.

"How can they have so much energy this morning?" yawned Kagome as she started a

fire to cook breakfast.

"Is Sango and Miroku coming over today?" asked Inu-Yasha who was staring out the

window as he watched Daniel catch a butterfly for his sister.

"Miroku is I believe, Sango hasn't been feeling good lately,"

"Almost time huh?"

"Yes, Miroku's just coming over to burrow some carrots and corn, and then he'll return

to the village to be with Sango,"

"Hard to believe this is their fourth," said Inu-Yasha.

"Indeed, so when did you say Sesshoumaru was coming?"

"This afternoon,"

"How come?"

"He wants you to have talk with Rin,"

"Oh I see,"

"He just didn't tell me what it would be about, do you have any idea?"

"Let's just say I'll be giving the same talk with Sakura when she gets older,"

Inu-Yasha was clueless at first, but nodded once he understood.

"Speaking of Rin, how old is she now?"

"Almost 15 now,"

"Would you get the children? Breakfast is almost ready,"

Inu-Yasha nodded and walked outside. "Kids! Breakfast is . . . " he was interrupted as

he felt two lumps jump on his back .

"We go hunting now?" asked Sakura as she pulled on her fathers ear.

"Yeah, now?" asked Daniel.

"After breakfast you two," grunted Inu-Yasha as he placed the two of them on the

ground. "Now go inside and eat,"

"What about you?" asked Daniel.

"I'll be inside in a second,"

As the two children headed into the house, Inu-Yasha headed into the forest and

leaped into his favorite tree . . . the God Tree. Standing on his favorite branch, he could

see a clear view of his house. It was so perfect, like a dream that was now reality. It

was a life that Inu-Yasha had longed for his entire life, and now he had it. A single tear

fell down his cheek as he thought on how he could live like this for the rest of his life.

"Inu-Yasha!"

Looking down, Inu-Yasha saw Miroku at the base of the God Tree. "Come down!"

Inu-Yasha leaped down with no problem right beside the monk who was wearing his

usual clothing, "Morning Miroku,"

"Morning, just came to get some vegetables, and then I have to get back to Sango,"

Nodding, Inu-Yasha lead Miroku to the house. As they walked through the front door,

Miroku was almost knocked over as Daniel and Sakura jumped onto the monk.

"Uncle Miroku!" cried the two children in unison.

Kagome started to giggle as she remembered the night of her prom.

"Not a word," muttered Inu-Yasha in her ear, afraid that if Sango and Miroku ever

found out, they would most likely kill him.

"Hey kids, good morning Lady Kagome,"

"Good morning Miroku, how is Sango?" asked Kagome, handing the monk a basket of

corn and carrots.

"Not good I'm afraid, Kaede says she'll be expecting tonight or tomorrow,"

"Well in that case, I'd better head back with you then. Inu-Yasha do you think you can

handle the children?"

"Of course I can!"

"Well then, I'll see you tonight or tomorrow morning," said Kagome as she kissed him

on the cheek. "Now I want you two to be good for your father while I'm gone, got it?"

The two children nodded and gave their mother a hug as she left the house with

Miroku by her side.

**************************************************************************

It was now late in the afternoon as the sun hung high in the sky. There wasn't a cloud

in the sky, which was normal for this time of year. Inu-Yasha loved the summer, it was

his favorite season, and he didn't know why. Taking in a deep breath, he inhaled the

fresh summer air, smelling it's sweet aroma. He had his arms place behind his head as

he lay in the lush green grass in a shaded area near his home. Lifting his head slightly,

he chuckled at the sight of Daniel and Sakura asleep on his stomach and chest. Their

ears twitching the odd time, listening for the slightest sound that meant trouble.

^I must have really worn them out with all those tracking lessons,^ thought Inu-Yasha

as he stared up into the sky. He could barely make out the blue sky through the patches

of leaves that let little rays of light into the shaded area. A soft breeze caressed his face,

blowing strands of Sakura's hair into his face.

(This maybe odd, but right now I'm listening to a song from Rurouni Kenshin called

Parting, so if you have heard of it and know it, just imagine it playing as you read the

next few lines)

Inu-Yasha started to think of his past, how he had first met Kagome when he had been

enchanted to the tree. When they had face Yura of the hair, Sesshoumaru, and the

Thunder Brothers. When Kagome had seen him human for the first time, their encounter

with the witch who had revived Kikyo. He remembered how scared he had been when he

had seen Kagome's should being ripped from her body. He recalled meeting Miroku, and

dealing with ink painter. When they had faced Sesshoumaru again and almost had the

Tetsusaiga stolen from them, his idiotic move when he had pushed Kagome down the

well, and when she had by some miracle returned to him and when they met Sango. He

even started to recall all of their encounters with Naraku and demons that were after the

Shikon No Tama. He thought of everything that had lead him to this moment. The most

happiest moment he could recall so far was when he had discovered theat Kagome was

pregnant with Daniel.

**************************************************************************

Flash Back

"When's dinner ready?" asked Inu-Yasha from the table, as he waited for Kagome to

finish the Ramen.

"Almost done, have some patients,"

"Feh,"

"Here you are," said Kagome as she handed him a bowl of Ramen.

As Inu-Yasha gobbled down the noodles, he suddenly caught onto a strange scent.

Setting his bowl down, he sniffed the air again and froze. The scent was coming from

Kagome who was folding sheets in the corner of the room. ^She isn't . . .^ thought Inu-

Yasha as he walked over to her.

Kagome looked up from her laundry and gave Inu-Yasha a strange look, "What?"

Inu-Yasha didn't respond as he knelt down beside her and smelt her again, "Your . . .

your pregnant,"

Kagome was silent for a moment before replying, "What?"

"Your carrying me pup," whispered Inu-Yasha.

She had lost t he ability to talk for a moment as she stared into Inu- Yasha's eyes, "How

can you tell?"

"I can smell the change in your scent," said Inu-Yasha, who leaned forward and kissed

her on the lips. When they parted, he picked her up and carried her up stairs and laid

her on the bed. For almost an hour they laid their, while Inu-Yasha as staring at her

stomach, with his hand tracing small circles on her belly.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm going to have a pup," whispered Inu-Yasha.

"It's that hard to believe?"

"I just never thought I would be a father,"

Kagome smiled and tried to sit up, but Inu-Yasha pushed her back down.

"Oh no you don't, your in no condition to be doing work,"

"Inu-Yasha I'm not made of glass, besides I'm fine,"

"You just sit back and relax, and I'll do the remaining chores around here. Is there

anything you need?"

"Yes, you quit being over protective of me,"

Inu-Yasha kissed her, and whispered, "Just relax,"

Kagome knew there was no way she would win, so she laid back down. Smiling Inu-

Yasha headed down stairs to finish the laundry.

End of Flash Back

**************************************************************************

Eight month's after that, they had had Daniel. Inu-Yasha didn't really think he could be

a father but after a while, it was the most wonderful thing he could imagine. A year later

they had Sakura, and by that time Miroku and Sango had had their first child. He then

started to remember the time they had returned to Kagome's time since the incident with

Hojo.

**************************************************************************

Yet another Flash Back.

Inu-Yasha slowly helped Kagome out of the well, afraid that she would break like glass

if he didn't take his eyes off her. She was six month's pregnancy and he didn't want her to

get hurt.

":Are you alright?" asked Inu-Yasha as he opened the well house doors for her.

"I'm fine Inu-Yasha, you don't have to worry about me this much," said Kagome as she

stepped onto the shrine grounds.

"Damn straight I'll worry about you,"

Kagome laughed as they walked hand and hand towards her old house where she had

once lived. The front door immedialty opened as Mrs. Higurashi greeted the two for the

first time in almost a year.

"Kagome!' she cried as tears were pouring down her face.

"Mom!" cried Kagome.

Mrs. Higurashi gently hugged her daughter, not even asking why Kagome had dog ears

and claws. "I missed you so much,"

Sota soon came running out of the house with Grandpa right behind him. They were all

soon lead back into the house by Mrs. Higurashi who announced she was going to make a

feast as a celebration of the return of Kagome and Inu-Yasha.

End of Flash back (Last one I swear!)

**************************************************************************

Inu-Yasha was brought back to reality as he felt Daniel move slightly on his chest while

still asleep. Resting his head to the side, an placing his arms around Daniel and Sakura

he closed his eyes and fell asleep with the joy of having his children in his arms.

**************************************************************************

The stars glittered in the black sky like diamonds with the full moon shining bright in

the sky. Inu-Yasha sighed as he stared up at the evening sky, waiting for Kagome to

return home. It had been a very tiresome day, and tomorrow would most likely be the

same since he had promised Sakura and Daniel that he would teach them hunting

tomorrow. Kagome had once told him he shouldn't teach them until they were older, but

he had persisted to sooner the better. Inu-Yasha's ears twitched as he heard someone

approach the house. Looking to the trees he saw Kagome walking back, a huge smile on

her face.

"Well?"

"It was a girl,"

"Any problems?"

"Nope, it went smooth with no problems or anything. How were the kids?"

"Fine,"

Kagome turned out lantern as her and Inu-Yasha headed upstairs to go to bed. Inu-

Yasha snuck his head into their kids room to make sure they were alright before

following Kagome into their room. As they crawled into bed, Inu-Yasha wrapped his

arms around Kagome's waist, bringing her closer to his body.

"Anything happening tomorrow?" whispered Kagome.

"Just hunting lessons for the kids,"

"In that case I might head home tomorrow and visit my mom,"

Inu-Yasha held Kagome tighter, burying his face into her soft black hair. "I love you,"

"I love you too,"

"Always and forever,"

"Forever,"

Inu-Yasha turned Kagome over so she was facing him.

"What are you . . ." she was interrupted as he kissed her passionately, his hands tangled

in her hair.

"Shhh," whispered Inu-Yasha who had a sly smile on his face as he kissed Kagome

again and pulled the blankets over their heads.
