Note: Hey all. I decided to make an epilogue for this. ^_^ I hope you enjoy
it. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inu Yasha characters (no matter how
much I want to). They all belong to Rumiko Takahashi. R&R. Please and thank

A Week In Japan Epilogue: The Transformation
They were all gathered around Kagome and the Shikon no Tama. In Yasha was right next to her. Souta, Kohaku, Miroku and Sango were watching from the side. Sango was holding her baby, Hotaru. They were all watching Kagome. Kagome was dressed as a priestess of that time. Her eyes were closed. She had her hands folded with her forefingers and thumbs out. The Shikon no Tama was sitting between her thumbs and the bottom of her forefingers. The tip of her forefingers were in front of her mouth. She was muttering a prayer to activate the jewel.
"Jewel of Four Souls. I ask you to use your power. Please grant my prayer. Please make Inu Yasha full human." she prayed. The jewel glowed brightly. Everyone except Kagome and Inu Yasha covered their eyes. Inu Yasha's hair flew up above him. He closed his eyes. His dog ears slowly disappeared then human ears appeared. His hair slowly turned black. Starting at the roots and going all the way to the ends. Kagome's hair was blowing behind her. As were her clothes. She firmly kept her footing and stayed where she was. The wind started to die down, as did the light. She opened her eyes. Inu Yasha's hair was falling back down. As soon as he felt it hit his back he opened his eyes. He lifted his hand and felt where his dog ears were. They weren't there. His hand made their way down and he felt human ears. He grabbed a lock of his hair and pulled it forward to look at it. He stared at the black hair for a moment as if he didn't believe it was his. Kagome put her hands down. She looked at the Shikon no Tama in her hands. She closed her hands over it and closed her eyes. She put her hands at her side and opened her eyes. She looked at Inu Yasha and smiled. He turned, still holding onto his hair, and looked at her. Tears started to flow from Kagome's eyes. She wiped them away. She sniffed and smiled even more. Inu Yasha looked at her curiously as she wiped her tears away. Kagome stepped forward a bit. Then she ran to Inu Yasha with her arms outstretched.
"Inu Yasha." she said. Inu Yasha looked watched as she ran towards him. He let go of his hair and opened his arms. Kagome ran right into them. They embraced each other. Kagome cried tears of joy.
"Kagome. Am I really. . . human?" Inu Yasha asked. Kagome nodded.
"Uh-huh." Souta was the first to uncover his eyes. He tapped Kohaku on the shoulder. He looked and tapped Sango and Miroku. They tapped the people next to them. The tapping went from person to person until everyone had their eyes open and was looking at Kagome and Inu Yasha. Everyone gasped. Only Miroku, Sango and Kaede recognized Inu Yasha. Those three smiled. Kohaku turned to his sister.
"Sango, who is that hugging Kagome?" he asked.
"That's Inu Yasha. He's human now." Sango said. Not just Kohaku had heard her. Everyone started whispering to each other. Soon everyone knew that Inu Yasha was human now. Kagome and Inu Yasha didn't even notice that everyone was looking at them. They were off in their own world. When they finally let go of each other they didn't pay attention to anyone. They just turned and walked off to the hut the villagers had built for Kagome and Souta. they had built one for Sango and Miroku right next to it. They walked in. Kagome chuckled. Inu Yasha looked at her.
"What are you laughing about?" he said with his normal attitude. Kagome looked at him with a big smile.
"I was just thinking. I noticed that all the villagers were looking at us as we left. I wonder what they were thinking. I don't think they recognized you." She started laughing again. Inu Yasha hugged her again. It was then that Kagome noticed something she hadn't before. She noticed how kind Inu Yasha had become. She gave a small chortle as Inu Yasha held her.
'I remember when Eri and Arimi bugged me to go out with Hojo. Then they would ask why I wouldn't. They'd jump to conclusions about me liking another guy. I'd always think of Inu Yasha when they started that up. Then I'd yell at them that he was a horrible, self-centered, arrogant, prideful, baka. Now. he isn't that. He's kinder. Not as self-centered. I wonder. Does it have anything to do with him being human? No. It started before that. Maybe it's because. . . maybe he's nicer because. . . because I'm here. If I had never gone down the well I would have lived life as a normal teenage girl. I probably would have ended up going out with Hojo. I never would have met Inu Yasha and he would still be pinned to that tree.' Kagome thought. She sighed. He leaned into Inu Yasha. He took hold of her shoulders and held her in front of him. He looked at her. Kagome looked into his eyes.
'When I met him there was nothing but greed and anger in his eyes. Now. Now it's different. There's caring. And love.' Kagome thought.
Inu Yasha sat down. Kagome sat down next to him. He put his arm around her and pulled her into him. She leaned in and put her arm around him. They both closed their eyes and sighed. Just as they were about to fall asleep a scream came from the middle of the village. Both Inu Yasha and Kagome opened their eyes and looked at each other. They got up and ran out. Kagome grabbed her bow and quiver as she ran out the door. On the way the saw Sango running towards them, her baby in her arms.
"What's going on?" Kagome asked Sango was breathing heavily.
"A. . . a demon is in the square. It's after the jewel." They all heard a crash. Kagome and Inu Yasha ran towards the commotion. Sango went to her hut and put her baby there. Then she pulled off her kimono and revealed her demon-slayer outfit. She grabbed her boomerang and ran to join Kagome and Inu Yasha. Kagome and Inu Yasha were already fighting the demon. It was huge.
"Give me the Shikon no Tama" it ordered Inu Yasha unsheathed the Tetsuaiga. It transformed.
"You're too late." Inu Yasha said. The demon grabbed Kagome. She dropped her bow and quiver as the demon lifted her up. Kagome called out.
"Inu Yasha!!" she cried.
"Give me the Shikon no Tama." the demon demanded again. Inu Yasha heard Kagome's cry. He jumped up and slashed the demon in half being careful not to cut Kagome in the process. Kagome fell to the ground. The demon's hand vanished from around her. Inu Yasha leapt towards her and caught her just before she hit the ground. Sango arrived just as Inu Yasha caught Kagome. She just stood in shock. Kagome stood up. She brushed off her skirt and looked at Inu Yasha.
"Thank you." she said. Inu Yasha was looking at her. There was worry in his eyes.
"Baka." he said. He pulled her close in the tightest embrace yet.
"Skip the "thank you" s. I was so worried." he said.
"Inu. . ." Kagome's voice trailed off. She could tell that he was sincere. It was in his voice and the way he was holding her. She hugged him back.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry." she said.
"Just do me one thing." Inu Yasha said as he pulled her back to look at her.
"Nani? What is it you want me to do?" Kagome asked. Inu Yasha leaned in. He whispered in her ear.
"Marry me." Kagome pulled back and looked at him. Was this some sort of joke or was he serious. She looked in his eyes. He was serious. She breathed in and a smile appeared on her face. She threw her arms around his neck. She whispered back.
"I will." Inu Yasha was taken aback for a moment then hugged her back. A week later they were married. A year after that Kagome was out in the garden talking with Kaede, a baby boy in her arms. He was completely human.
A/N: Okay. Now its completely over. I hope you liked the epilogue. I'm amazed it went as long as it did. ^_^; But still. I know some of you think that Inu Yasha isn't supposed to act like that. But this is my story so I can do what I want to his attitude. hehe. I'm open to compliments, suggestions, and even a bit of criticism. Please review.
