~Epilogue~

Here in this diary,

I write you visions of my summer.

It was the best I ever had.

There were choruses and sing-alongs,

and that unspoken feeling

of knowing that right now is all that matters.

All the nights we stayed up talking

and listening to 80's songs:

quoting lines from all those movies that we love.

It still brings a smile to my face.

I guess when it comes down to it...

Inu Yasha sat starring at Kagome and his friends running around chasing a

bunch of kids while being drenched by the water from the water hydrant he'd

busted the cap off of. It was one of those hot summer days, around the

middle of June, and the gang had gotten bored with sitting around the

apartment. Miroku had Sango in is arms and was spinning her around, getting

any one near wet. Kouga had one little kid in his arms and was holding him

directly in front of the spraying water, getting squeals of delight from the

little munchkin. Inu Yasha was admiring the way Kagome's wet shirt clung to

her figure when she noticed him sitting there.

"Inu Yasha, come on." She had one of those smiles on that could out shine

the sun and her eyes sparkled with joy.

"No way, you're all crazy."

"Oh, so you are a wuss?"

"Am not!"

"Prove it." He took off running after a giggling Kagome, catching her only

to let her get away so he could chase her again.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:

These are the best days of our lives.

The only thing that matters

is just following your heart

and eventually you'll finally get it right.

Four out of five of the group sat on the tour bus waiting for Kouga to show

up. Apparently he had went home with some girl the night before. Finally he

stepped up onto the bus, but he wasn't alone. At his side was a short red

headed girl, she was clinging to Kouga's arm.

"Hey Kouga, who's the girl?" Inu Yasha was the first to speak.

"This is Ayame; I invited her to come with us."

"You what?!"

"Don't get so grumpy Yash, she's cool." He smiled down at the girl who was

looking around nervously.

"So how'd you meet," asked Kagome.

"She was at the after show party, she's one of our groupies."

"Well hi Ayame, I'm Kagome. That's Inu Yasha, Sango, and Miroku." Everyone

waved cheerfully except for Inu Yasha.

"Nice to meet all of you. Thanks for letting me come along, this is so

great."

"Great, a fan girl."

"Inu Yasha, be nice!" Kagome fixed him with one of her

don't-make-me-get-up-from-here glares. Inu Yasha didn't pay it much

attention.

"Why, cause Kouga finally found a girl who doesn't take off running at first

sight of him?" That caused Kouga and Ayame's faces to heat up.

"Inu Yasha!!" Kouga spent half the bus ride to their next gig chasing a

laughing Inu Yasha around the bus.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools,

and wreaking havoc on our world.

Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.

The black top's singing me to sleep.

Lighting fireworks in parking lots,

illuminate the blackest nights.

Cherry cokes under this moonlit summer sky.

2015 Riverside, it's time to say "goodbye."

Get on the bus, it's time to go.

Inu Yasha leaned over Kagome and deepened the kiss they were sharing, his

hands roaming the sides of her body. Neither wore much, Inu Yasha in his

boxers and Kagome in a short silky light blue nightgown. Slowly his lips

left hers to travel down her jaw, to her neck, then down to her collar bone,

making his way even farther as he went. While his mouth worked up top his

hands moved down below, caressing her outer thigh and slowly moving up under

her gown. Moans and whimpers could be heard from the girl as he went about

his slow torture. As Inu Yasha was tugging at her the under garments that

were in his way, the door cracked open, quickly ending what they had

started. With a sigh Inu Yasha withdrew his hands and rolled onto his side

to look at the intruder.

"I thought you were a big boy."

"I am daddy, but me wanted to seep wif you and mommy. It too dak in me

woom." A tiny boy, no older than four, with a head full of shaggy black hair

and big innocent violet eyes stood in the doorway. Kagome giggled at her

son, true she was disappointed because they had been interrupted, but he was

just so cute. Seeing his mother smiling, the boy took off towards the bed

and jumped in.

"You little runt," Inu Yasha grabbed the child and held him high in the air

while lightly shaking him, but being careful not to hurt the boy, "you're

hopeless, you know that." The child giggled and smiled down at him, causing

Inu Yasha to laugh to. "Alright, but you're going to be a big boy and sleep

in your own room tomorrow, ok?"

"Otay daddy, me big boy." The boy looked thoughtful before asking, "Daddy,

what waz you an mommy doin?"

"Uh...um...she fell, and I...I was making sure she didn't have any bruises,"

was his quick reply. The kid asked to many questions sometimes. "Now come

on, it's nighty night time."

"Otay daddy. Night, me wuv you."

"We love you too sweetie." Kagome gave him a kiss on the forehead as Inu

Yasha settled the boy on his stomach, she cuddled up to him with her arm

lightly draped across both of her boys and Inu Yasha wrapped his free arm

around her, the other holding their son.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:

These are the best days or our lives.

The only thing that matters

is just following your heart,

and eventually you'll finally get it right.

Life went on and the group grew older. Eventually they band split up, Kagome

didn't see how they'd be able to chase around two little kids instead of one

while traveling on the road all the time. Everyone was ready to settle down

into a normal life anyway, well as normal as theirs could be. It had been an

exciting six years. Unlike Inu Yasha and Kagome, Sango and Miroku took their

time with getting married and stuff. Kouga and Ayame got along great and

stayed together as well.

When the band stopped playing, Inu Yasha decided to open up his own music

shop where him and Miroku gave guitar lessons, Kagome helped when she wasn't

busy chasing after the energetic five year old boy or taking care of their

three month old girl. Sango took up a job with Myoga helping out with the

new talent that came in; it was something she really enjoyed. Kouga decided

to go solo; he wasn't ready to step out of the spot-light yet. He did pretty

well at it too. Ayame was always by his side. They all no longer lived in

the apartment together; it was way to small for seven people anyway. Now Inu

Yasha and Kagome owned their own house, it was small but cozy, plenty of

room for their growing family. Yep, that's how life went for them. They all

eventually grew old but never really grew up, always the fun loving bunch

they had always been, and always enjoying life.

and eventually you'll finally get it right.

So stay tuned for our dashing hero and his rag tag group of crime fighters' next exciting adventure, DUNNA DUNNA!!! Yeah, I'm a dork. There might be an extra chapter for responses to all of the reviews, but that's it for the story. Let me know if you like the ending.
