Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Inuyasha or the characters from the series. Ritsuko and Yuji are mine though.

A/N: I just want to thank everyone who has reviewed this story since I started it. A big thanks to Bran-chan, you've been great. Thanks for reading. This is the last chapter for this story but I MIGHT do a sequel about Ritsuko.

A Glimpse Ahead

Epilogue

"Then your mother cracked the comb and Yura disappeared. And that is how we defeated Yura of the Hair. That's also the first time I really took notice of your mother," Inuyasha finished the story he had been telling his five-year-old daughter.

"Wow!" Ritsuko responded, "You and Mommy are so cool! Someday I wanna travel through time and fight bad guys just like you!"

Kagome walked through the door of her family's hut just in time to hear her daughter's comment. She and Inuyasha exchanged glances over Ritsuko's head. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at Kagome and she nodded in return.

"Well, little one," Inuyasha said, "you'll get your chance someday."

"Do you really think so?"

"I don't think so, I know so."

Ritsuko, with a questioning expression on her face, glanced back and forth between her mother and father.

Kagome was the one who spoke, "I think its time for another story. Would you like to hear how your father and I finally beat Naraku and realized that we were meant to be together?"

Ritsuko's gray eyes grew wide with excitement and she nodded enthusiastically, "Oh! But can I go get Yuji first so he can hear, too?"

Another glance was exchanged between Kagome and Inuyasha. Yuji was Miroku and Sango's four-year-old son. They eventually decided that, being almost family, it was okay for Yuji to hear the story as well.

"Okay," Kagome said, "but hurry back."

Ritsuko ran off to find her friend. A few minutes later she returned with not only Yuji, but also his whole family in tow.

"So you've decided it's time to tell Ritsuko the story, eh, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha merely grunted and gestured for the others to sit down. "Okay," he started, "this is the story of how, with a little help from another time traveling girl, we ended up defeating Naraku."

He paused for a moment as Kagome moved to his side and clasped his hand in her own. He glanced at their joined hands and smiled before continuing on with his story.

"It all began one day when Kagome and I were out hunting shards by on our own. That was the day we met the girl who would come to help us. A girl with silver hair and gray eyes. Her name was Ritsuko and she had come from the future to help us.
