Inu: Thanks to the two reviewers I received before I wrote this sentence.
This chapter's going to have a little fluff. What you see in almost any
fic.
Hiei: I better have a spot in your next fanfiction.
Inu: Probably not.
Fluffy: He's going to end this story soon so he can fire us.
Inu: Depends on the reviewers.
A Life Of Peace
Inuyasha steps wearily away from the final destination of Emier. He drops the two transformed swords transforming them back. Inuyasha walks to Miroku's side. He lays motionless.
" Move aside, Sango." Inuyasha instructs.
Sango complies skeptically.
" Inuyasha. What do you plan to do?" Kagome asks.
Inuyasha keeps his face on Miroku. He places his hand on the sword at his waist: Tenseiga. Inuyasha draws Tenseiga and looks at the blade. He sees the toad-like creatures that come from the underworld to get the cadaver's soul. Inuyasha swipes Tenseiga at the creatures; killing them in a quick flash. Miroku's wounds vanish and he opens his eyes. Miroku looks at his hands, front and back.
" I'm.......alive?" Miroku whispers astounded.
Inuyasha takes another check over Miroku. He stops his check and walks nonchalantly over to Taisho's corpse.
' Taisho, how many times are you going to die?' Inuyasha mentally asks himself.
Inuyasha looks through Tenseiga again and does the same for Taisho. Taisho opens his eyes too. He stares at Inuyasha happily.
" The other Taisho says ' congrats'. And thanks for saving me." Taisho appreciates.
Inuyasha smiles an unusual smile.
" I see." Inuyasha laughs.
" Sesshomaru says the same for controlling your demonic form." Taisho laughs as well "How did you do that, by the way?"
" I had control when he first cursed me. I regrettably had to hurt Miroku. Emier, the fool, all he did was take my human blood from me. He never endangered me." Inuyasha explains.
Taisho gets up.
" Well, it's nice to know that dieing doesn't hurt." Taisho jokes lightly.
Inuyasha doesn't respond. He just walks back over to the group.
" Is everyone okay?" Inuyasha asks worriedly.
Everyone nods.
" Miroku was the only one you hurt." Sango states.
Taisho walks to the group silently.
" Sango, you go get Kohaku from where you made him hide. We'll wait here for you." Inuyasha suggests.
Sango gasps and rushes toward the trees. She comes back a few moments later with Kohaku. His face keeps its blank expression.
Inuyasha motions to the direction of the dead forest.
" Come on, let's go home."
Kaede's Village
Kaede walks along a crop field in the village. She watches the playful Rin play with some local village girls. Shippo tries to wow them with his illusions. He turns from Inuyasha to Kagome to Kaede.
" How naïve ye young ones are. My youth left me a long time ago. It's times like this I envy them." Kaede says to herself.
She turns her attention to the Forest of Inuyasha. A group of familiar faces emerge from the foliage.
" Could it be?"
" Kaede-baba!" one shouts.
Kaede narrows her eyes.
" It is definitely them." Kaede says sourly.
The gang closes in to the village.
" Kagome!" Shippo exclaims.
Shippo runs merrily.
" You're back! You're back! You're back!" Shippo sings.
Rin even turns her attention to the group.
" Uncle Inuyasha?" Rin asks Kaede.
" Aye, child. The hanyou returns." Kaede answers lowly.
The group comes into the village. Shippo has already taken a roost on top of Inuyasha's head.
" Shippo, if I wasn't in a good mood I'd knock the sense outta ya." Inuyasha threatens through gritted teeth.
" I'm happy to see you too." Shippo laughs " So did you beat that devil guy. Did you? Did you?"
" Hai." Kagome answers the kitsune.
" Can we celebrate like when we slew Naraku? Please? Pl-ea-se?" Shippo pleads.
Inuyasha picks Shippo off his head.
" If. You. Stay. Off. My. Head. Than. Fine." Inuyasha stresses every word.
Shippo jumps back to the ground.
' First they celebrate when I died and now I have a kitsune's home on my head. The day after we defeat the greatest enemy we've ever seen I have to deal with Shippo.' Inuyasha muses.
" Inuyasha, who's the kid?" Taisho asks.
Shippo looks at Taisho. He seems surprised.
" Didn't you die?" Shippo asks.
" Yes, three times." Taisho laughs.
That Night
The whole village is gathered around a bonfire. Miroku stands closest to the flame. He holds up a cup.
" Here's a toast. To the new world; hopefully one of peace." Miroku shouts over the crowd.
Everyone else raises a cup.
" To a world of peace!" the village exclaims in unison.
Later
Everyone is laughing and conversing. Telling jokes and catching up. Being thankful that nothing but a few weak demons. They do have much to celebrate.
Miroku is up to his old palm-reading trick.
Sango is a corner leaning against a wall with Kohaku at her side. She's trying to bring back his better memories. Sango hasn't stricken a good lead, but Kohaku's face shows emotion again. Not the emotionless shell that he was while under Naraku's control.
Inuyasha, Taisho, and Kagome are talking amongst each other.
" Inuyasha, remember when you fetched the stick?" Kagome laughs very hard.
" Did you really fetch a stick?" Taisho laughs just as hard.
Inuyasha's face flushes.
" No I never did such a thing!" Inuyasha says angrily.
" Inuyasha, I was only joking." Kagome laughs still " But it was funny."
Inuyasha glares distastefully at Kagome.
" Wreyit njikil." Inuyasha says to her face { Stupid Wench. }
" Inuyasha, I have a feeling you didn't say something nice." Kagome says irritately.
" Your feeling are right." Inuyasha says.
" Inuyasha, si......" Kagome starts.
Inuyasha places a hand on her mouth.
" Yunjiko." Inuyasha chants lowly. { Human.}
Inuyasha's hair turns black, his eyes violet, his claws and fangs vanish, and his ear turn to a human's.
" Would you 'sit' me as a human?" Inuyasha asks.
" How did you do that?" Taisho asks.
Inuyasha moves his hand.
" Handy, ain't it?" Inuyasha says.
" Inuyasha you baka." Kagome insults.
Inuyasha sticks out his tongue.
" Hmph!"
Later
The whole village has returned to their homes after celebrating late into the night. The gang is responsible for cleaning the village since it was their celebration.
" Stupid, old hag." Inuyasha curses under his breath. He sweeps the broom in his hands to get the trash.
" It's not that bad. I have to do this weekly in my time." Kagome tries to find the bright side.
" I guess you're right. But why isn't anyone else helping us. We were all supposed to clean, and I keep finding Shippo's tops." Inuyasha complains.
Kagome laughs.
" What's so fuuny?! We're working our butts off and I didn't have anything to do with this festivity!" Inuyasha shouts.
Kagome points to his hand. One of his claws has grown back and a piece of paper is stuck to it. Inuyasha shakes it off and laughs too.
" I have an idea." Inuyasha suggests. " Frtyr!" { Gather!}
All the trash is pulled to one point. It all gathers in a pile of garbage.
" Ha. I make it look so easy." Inuyasha brags.
" Show-off." Kagome laughs and gives him a push.
" Watch it. I'm human." Inuyasha fakes a scared voice.
" Baka."
"Who's baka?" Inuyasha repeats from a few days earlier.
" Inuyasha?"
" What?" he asks not moving his gaze from the heap.
" I just wanted to know.......never mind." Kagome blushes.
" I'm not naïve."
" What do you mean?" Kagome asks.
" I mean: I really did say it." Inuyasha answers still not changing his stare.
" What do.....what are you talking about?" Kagome asks nervously.
Inuyasha turns to Kagome.
" Knoinver." Inuyasha chants lowly { Demon }
Inuyasha's demon features return.
" I really said it when I was about to die." Inuyasha starts " I really did say..."
Inuyasha takes a step towards Kagome.
" Aishetouru." Inuyasha finishes.
" Y-You really mean it?" Kagome asks hopefully.
Inuyasha nods.
" And I heard quite a few of your thoughts before I lost my deity soul." Inuyasha smirks.
" Inuyasha."
" Kagome will you......be......my mate?" Inuyasha asks blushing furiously.
Kagome is stunned. She doesn't budge until she embraces Inuyasha.
" Of course, Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaims happily, tears spilling.
Inuyasha smiles and hugs Kagome back.
" Kagome, let's go inside and sleep. It's late and we can tell the others in the morning." Inuyasha suggests.
Kagome nods and releases Inuyasha. Inuyasha places and hand on her shoulder and leads her to Kaede's hut.
Inuyasha goes to the side of the hut hurriedly. He sheathes Blaze Phoenix. Inuyasha digs the crimson blade into the ground. He smiles again and returns to the hut.
The symbol on the blade has changed once again. It changes from ' Bringer of Peace' to 'The Age of Peace.'

{End}
Now it is up to my loyal reviewers-Should I write a sequel to this? What should the problem be? I can't even think of an enemy right now. Come on, I'm only twelve. If you suggest it though. I swear I will come up with something and write a sequel in the near future. Arigato, to my reviewers. And like said in { Eragon } May your swords stay sharp!
