Chapter 12 Epilog

Kagome woke up with a start as Sango continued to bath her forehead with a damp cloth. Smiling weakly at her best friend, Kagome closed her eyes in an effort to calm her racing heart.

"Is he safe?" Kagome whispered out as she placed both her hands onto her belly. "Tell me..Is he alive and safe Sango?"

Sango smiled down at Kagome as she rung out the cloth rag again. But, just before she was able to give the young girl an answer, a clawed hand was set onto her shoulder and squeezed gently. Sango didn't have to look at Inuyasha to know that it was time to go. Very carefully, Sango leaned down and hugged the only female she considers her sister.

"Rest Kagome. I'll go and make up some lunch."

Once the door was closed, Inuyasha carefully picked up Kagome and placed her into his lap. Gripping his coat tightly in her small hands, she buried her face into his shoulder and wept.

Inuyasha knew she wasn't weeping out of sadness or anguish, but in stead, it was over the fact that all of the pain, the suffering and all of the turmoil that they had gone through for the past three years was not all in vain.

He also knew that it was because now Sango's family and village have now been avenged as well as Miruko's cure is no more. He will now be able to watch his child be born into this world with out the cure that was on him, his Father and Grandfather.

But most of all, he knew she weeps for great joy in knowing that the world is now rid of that horrid evil and they can now raise their pups in peace and tranquility.

Slowly rubbing his hands up and down her back, he softly purred to help comfort her.

Now that there is plenty of time to enjoy their life together, he hugged her closer. Kissing the top of her head, he laid them to where he spooned his body to hers. And for the first time in many years, Inuyasha is able to honesty relax his body for sleep.

With the rumblings from Inuyasha's chest onto her back, Kagome was able to will her body to relax and let sleep take over again.

Sango closed the door again as a sigh of relief escaped her at the sight of her two friends. As she picked up the tray of food, Shippou and Rin slowly approached her. Sango shook her head no when she say Shippou open his mouth.

"Not right now Shippou. They need to rest for a while. Don't worry...they are going to be just fine."

Just as Sango was about to pick up the little kit to offer some comfort, the bedroom door opened. Sango turned around to see her hanyou friend standing in the door way.

"Sango," Inuyasha whispered, "Its ok. Let him come in."

Shippou immediately jumped up and hugged Sango before hopping onto Inuyasha's shoulder. After giving the kit a pat on the head, Inuyasha went back into their room and closed the door. Sango smiled and took Rins hand and lead her back down the hall.

"Come on Rin. I'll bet your hungry ne? I know I am."

Rin giggled as she was lead back into the main room. After a quick check on Mirokus injured shoulder, they sat to eat lunch.

Kaede had excused herself shortly after they had returned back saying she'll stay over at the village elder's home for a few days so they can rest in peace. They were grateful to her for that.

When Inuyasha was sure Sango and Rin were well into their lunch, he made his way back to where Kagome was at. Giving voice to a soft growl, Shippou hopped off his shoulder and disappeared down Kagomes shirt to snuggle close to her.

Once Inuyasha saw that Shippou had settled down, he lay down and spooned up against her back with his arms around her waist.

It has now been about six months since Naraku was destroyed. With the Shikon no Tama now whole once more, the demon activity has been slow but steady since they still desire its power. But, if one would take a good look at the tallest tree in the village, they would see a proud looking hanyou male standing guard of a small hut. Inside this small hut was his family; a small Kitsune cub, his mate and their week old female pup named Purity.

She has some of her father's demon traits like the white/silver hair, and her ears had a slight point to them. Her eyes were that of her mother; a beautiful grey/blue. The blood that floods in the pup's veins are filled with her mothers Miko magic.

It was late afternoon on the eighth day after his pup was born, that a baby's cry reached the sensitive ears of the hanyou male who was on guard. A short time later, a Priest walked out of a hut that was next to the one being protected. In his arms he carried a very small bungle of blankets. He walked over to the tree that the demon was in and spoke in a quiet voice.

"Come see my new son, Inuyasha. His name will be Kahlan." The hanyou looked down at the Priest.

"How is Sango?" Inuyasha asked as he dropped to his feet.

"She is tired, but well." Miroku replied as he smiled. Smiling as well, Inuyasha took a peek at the new born babe.

"I hope that your pup will grow up just as strong as his parents. Now go back. Its time for his first feeding."

Miroku turned and headed back to his hut with his new son held close to his heart. Once Inuyasha saw him enter his hut, he too, headed to his own.

As he walked into their room, his smile grew wider. There on the futon, laying on top the blankets was his daughter fast a sleep with Shippou curled asleep next to her with his little hand holding her little hand. Moving past the bed, he went to where Kagome stood next to the window.

Wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzling his face into her neck, he whispered into her ear.

"Miroku has a son."

Nodding her head in answer that she heard him, she continued to look out the window at the setting sun and admiring the beautiful colors that filled the sky. Lifting her hand to his head, she began to rub the closest ear.

"I would like our next pup to be a boy." Kagome said in a very low whisper, but his ears heard every word. "But not for a while though. We have plenty of time to work on our family."

'Time is... to slow for those who wait to swift for those who fear to long for those who grieve to short for those who rejoice but for those who love time is eternity.'
