They waited for what seemed like hours. Yume paced back and forth in front of the door while Sesshoumaru and Kagome sat outside it waiting and wondering. Would Ookami make it? Would he be able to live through all the pain he endured.

Kagome had finally talked Sesshoumaru into getting his wounds checked by a servant while they waited for the doctor to finish with Ookami. He came back with his shirt off and many bandages wrapped around his chest. He smiled weakly to Kagome. Kagome had been hurt to badly in the battle. A few small cuts and maybe a bruise or two but nothing bad.

The doctor came out shortly after Yume returned from getting her wounds checked. "WELL?" they all asked.

The doctor merely shook his head with his eyes closed and his face turned downward. "Please doctor, I beg of you to tell me if Ookami is alright." Yume said as she fell to her knees and her hands hid her teary eyes. "One thing is for sure, Lord Ookami has the most strongest will to live. I've never seen such wounds in my life and someone still be alive. You may go see him."

Yume jumped up and raced into the room, kneeling beside the bed and taking Ookami's hand in hers. He smiled as he opened his eyes weakly to gaze at her. "Hey Yume. What's with all the tears?" he asked in a joking manner. She laughed slightly and closed her eyes placing her forehead to his hand and thanking god for protecting him. "I was a bit worried, o bloody hell, I was worried to death about you! Don't you ever do that again. You have no idea what me and Lady Kagome have been going through." She said as sobs racked her body.

"Sorry dear."

Kagome and Sesshoumaru walked in with a smile on their faces, happy to see Ookami doing well. "Hey sis, hey bro." "Hello Brother" Kagome replied as she walked over to his other side and sat down in a chair. Sesshoumaru walked over and stood behind the chair that Kagome sat in with a small hint of a smile on his face. "What, may I ask, is with calling me 'bro'?" Sesshoumaru asked with a eyebrow raised slightly. "Aww come on Sesshoumaru. You're my brother now. You and Kagome at together, and expecting a healthy child might I add, so we are related in a brotherly way." A smile grew on Sesshoumaru and Ookami's faces as all of them laughed at this.

"Well then I guess that means I'll have a sis soon." Kagome said as they all stopped laughing. "Huh?" Ookami and Yume said at once. Sesshoumaru and Kagome looked at one another before they laughed slightly. "O come on bro. Don't sit.. well.. lay there and tell me you don't plan on getting together with Yume. It took Sesshoumaru and me forever to get her to go to the next room just to get her wounds checked while we waited for you. Ya'll are clearly mint to be together."

Yume and Ookami began to blush at this but still debated. "Sis, will you shut it." Ookami said in a joking manner. Yume glared daggers at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru was like her brother after all and so there for they would all be one big family, Yume and Ookami a couple, Kagome and Sesshoumaru a couple, while Kagome and Ookami were brother and sister and Sesshoumaru and Yume were basically brother and sister.

All would turn out right in the end.. wouldn't it? ... would they all live to see the end of the tunnel, to see the days after Inuyasha was dead, after all of the troubles were gone.... Let us hope so.... Let us find out.
