~*~

Kagome and Inuyasha woke up early the next morning to make a big breakfast. Miroku, Sango, their twins, Aya and Haru, and Kohaku, who was now living with them, Sesshomaru, and his adopted child, Rin, and finally, Kaede and Shippo were all coming over around breakfast time. Shippo and Kaede arrived just as they finished making it.

Kikyo woke up ten minutes later at the smell of food. She walked into the kitchen to see Grandma Kaede and Uncle Shippo, who was now living with Kaede, at the table already. "UNCLE SHIPPO!!" Kikyo exclaimed as she jumped on him and hugged him tightly. Shipp and Kikyo were about the same size so they toppled over to the floor. "Hey, Kikyo. How are you?" Shippo asked in a strained voice. "I'm great! How about you?" she asked happily. "Fine," Shippo wheezed, "But you're squishing me!"

Kikyo gasped and crawled off of Shippo then went to hug Grandma Kaede. "Thanks Kikyo . . ." Shippo said. Kikyo nodded.

There was a knock at the door. Kikyo ran out of the kitchen to the door. She opened the door and Rin and Sesshomaru were waiting on the other side. "RIN!! UNCLE SESSHOMARU!!" she said, hugging each of them. Rin happily hugged her cousin, whereas, Sesshomaru didn't quite like the touchy-feely junk but he hugged Kikyo, anyway. Kikyo ran back to the kitchen and was followed by Rin and Sesshomaru.

"Mommy, Uncle Sesshomaru and Rin are here!" she announced. Inuyasha and Kagome smiled and Kaede and Shippo greeted them at their presence. Sesshomaru merely nodded and Rin ran around and gave everyone a short hug.

Ten minutes later, there was another knock at the door. Kikyo ran to get it. She opened the door to find a huge group of people. "AYA!! HARU!! UNCLE MIROKU!! AUNT SANGO!! UNCLE KOHAKU!!" she exclaimed and was out of breathes after. Although, she gave Aya, the girl twin, Haru, the boy twin, Uncle Kohaku, Aunt Sango, and Uncle Miroku all a hug. "Hello, Kikyo!" Miroku greeted. "How are you?" Sango asked. "HI!" the tins greeted in unison. Kohaku simply said, "Hey . . ."

Kikyo led them into the kitchen and declared their presence loudly.

"Why don't you kids go out and play?" Sango offered to Kikyo, Aya, and Haru after they ate breakfast. "Here, you can take Kirara with you. Just don't run off," she said. The kids agreed happily and ran outside. "I'll go watch after them . . ." Kohaku offered and got p to leave. "Me, too." Rin suggested. "Be careful." Sesshomaru warned. Rin nodded and sighed, "Yes, my lord . . ." and left. Sesshomaru shook his head. "Why does she still insist on calling me that?"

Inuyasha and Kagome leaned back on the wall behind them. They were still out-of-sorts from last night's little drama incident but wouldn't show it around the children. The others were asking why the looked so glum and they explained it all.

They weren't all too surprised . . . every single one of them remembered the day they defeated Naraku, they all saw how sad and angry Inuyasha looked when he returned, and they all had their suspicions. "Now we all really know that you can't keep something from each other forever." Kaede commented. Kagome and Inuyasha glanced at each other and smiled. 'Until the end of time,' Kagome thought. 'And forever . . .' Inuyasha finished mentally.
