Super Important A/N: Now that I have your attention. It has come to my attention that Cartoon Network is taking Inuyasha off the air starting next Monday (July 7th). Now while I know they show the cut, American version; but for people like me this is the only way we can get the anime (I need a DVD player really bad -_-; *sigh*). If this affects you complain. If this doesn't affect you, take pity on those of us it does and complain anyway. If it helps you feel more inspired, I always feel more inspired to write after watching an episode. Thank you. The address is ToonNet@aol.com

Libra Dreamchaser: Yes, I've noticed how things can some times loose their momentum when Shippou shows. I worked really hard to keep that from happening.

Tinuviel: Yap 'private time' is now a commodity. Legend of Zelda rules!!! I do have Ocarina of Time, Master Quest, and The Wind Waker all on Gamecube. The graphics for the first two are about the same, but still great. I also have Majora's Mask for N64, but I never got into it. Zelda just isn't one of those game that should have a time limit on it.

ArtemisMoon: Being a parent can be annoying. I baby-sit small children and I'm sure I couldn't put up with them 24/7. Ok, I did kinda put Shippou in to get them in the same bed, but I had other reasons too. I'm glad you liked the lemon. Don't worry if can't write them, it's just one of those things that take practice. In all honestly I did write it all in one sitting, but took my time over a couple of days.

Omnitoad: You must not have played Zelda. That's cool though. In the game there are certain bosses (the final battle and Phantoms of the final boss) that float around over head and shoot energy blasts at you. The only way to get them down in to 'Play Tennis' with them. You hit the energy back and forth and if you can get him to miss, he'll fall to the ground and can beat him senseless with your sword.

Lasako: *Blush* thanks ^_^ and don't worry I'll let you know that title of my book, when I write it. But no promises when that will be. I'm glad K&C is back up and sorry you can't get an answer on why it was deleted. I bet your cast is cute. I really can't think of a color to go with neon green except perhaps neon pink or neon blue. I'm sure you're thrilled with that thought. I'm glad so many people appreciated the Zelda reference. I was watching the episode with the Thunder Brothers in it and it just struck me how funny it would be for them to be batting the energy back and forth. Please don't send Bill Clinton after me. If you do then I'll… I'll… never write again! (Not really, but I might consider it) I've never heard of Alter Aeon…

ScarletRaven1001: Thanks *Deep Blush* I'm glad you like my story so much. I'm sorry your story was deleted, but glad that my story made it better.

Kagome-sama: Another lemon… sorry not this story. As you will see directly below this is the end. However, at the bottom you will see that there will be a sequel. That will definitely be at least one lemon in it. As far as Miroku and Sango I normally just imply activity between them. I think it's because Miroku (and Kikyo (no that I would ever let her get any in any story I write) for that matter) goes around dressed like a priest (or priestess if we're talking Kikyo), unlike Kagome. But yeah, that and Sesshoumaru and Rin, will happen next story. However, it will all be pointed out or implied because like this story the next will revolve around Inuyasha and Kagome (and Shippou). I'm glad you like my lemons, I work hard on them. 40 Chapter! O.O; *Faints* @_@ my fingers hurt just thinking about that…

Nghi: No problem, moving is a big thing. Thanks for the critiques, I'll go back a check on this things. Sorry so short I'm a little rushed for time right now and this is the last chance I'll have to respond before I post.

Big Thanks to Thally. Who has sent me an absolutely adorable picture of Shippou looking sadly at a picture of his parents. I would love to share it with all of you, but sadly I have no way of doing that. Thally, Thank you so much!

The Agency

Epilogue

My name is Kagome: just Kagome, no last name. I worked for a special branch of the government; but as far as you're concerned I do not exist. I have no birth certificate, no social security number, no bank account, and I'm sure my driver's license and badge are just for show. Not that it matters, by the time you've noticed, I've disappeared or you're dead.

The branch of the government I worked for has no name. I don't know how many of us there are, no one does. Personally, I only know six: My partner Inuyasha, my partner's half-brother Sesshoumaru and his partner Rin, my best friend Sango and her partner Miroku, and my godson Shippou.

It's been years since my last job. Inuyasha and I moved to a small, uncharted island along the equator. We have a nice home and I love to walk in the forest. The water is crystal clear and has all sort of fish in it. Inuyasha loves to swim, he even claims to have seen a shark, but I think he's exaggerating.

Shippou has grown up so much over the years. He was around for the birth of our children. They were twins, a boy, Inumaru, and a girl, Takara. He's been a great older brother to them. It was always fun to watch them play. Shippou's ability to shape shift always made hide-and-seek a much more interesting game. They where both heart broken when Shippou left for the Academy. I miss him.

It's been at least five years sense we last saw any of our old friends. I hear Miroku and Sango did finally get together. Inuyasha claims that all those beating and such were foreplay, but I'm not so sure. I think they have a son, but I can't recall his name. Sesshoumaru and Rin are easier to keep track of because they're family. Last I heard they were doing some world traveling. They sent us a beautiful china tea set for last Christmas. As far as I know they don't have any kids, but the plans are there for when they are ready. Maybe Inuyasha and I will do some traveling when the twins go off to the Academy.

I should go. Inuyasha will be back with the fish he caught for dinner soon. Even after all these years, he still claims my cooking is the best on the planet.

A/N: Well ladies and gentlemen, that is it. I know, thanks to all my wonderful reviews, that many, if not all, of you are disappointed. However, so many of you have been asking for Naraku and such things. I've been considering for some time now to do a sequel to this story. This will not be a short process. This story took several months to write and it will probably be several more months before I will start to post the story. I, as a practice, write my stories in their entirety before posting. This is so I don't feel pressured or rushed in any way to post and make careless mistakes, especially with a story that can be very intricate. I am so glad that so many of you have enjoyed this story so completely, and thanks, especially to my reviews who have been with from the start. Ja ne minna-san.
