'Swish.......swish......swish'
The sound of a reed broom brushing the pale tan dirt floor that resided between the main hut and the shrine. Kagome sneezed slightly as she pushed the dirt from the entrance path to the main shrine that resided opposite of the mini-shrine. It so far had been a usual morning, waking up before dawn, chopping up the deer that her mate had brought in from the night before and roasting it, breaking up a fight that her two children had over nothing, and doing some cleaning.
Though mind you, her day was just beginning.
It had been five years since Naraku was diminished and she and InuYasha and started a life together, five long......interesting years.
Kagome kept her trunk inside the house under some floor boards so that her kids wouldn't go poking through it though she did dress in the dark blue and white priestess outfit after her school uniform became, dirty, worn to threadbare, small, and blood stained, and this all happened in one week.
Kagome sighed as she leaned the broom next to one of the sturdy wooden columns that held the roof over the main shine. She placed a hand and laid her head against the morning sun warmed wood and closed her eyes. This was the closest thing she had to home now.
When she tried to go through the well to get the blue-prints for the well......the well wouldn't let her pass which injured her side when she grazed a jagged stone that stuck out of the wells inner wall. Kagome remembered climbing out and jumping in the well repeatedly but it still wouldn't let her pass.....even with the jewel.
"MOMMY!!!! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome smiled as her four-year-old daughter Kichona came running up this cute mad look on her face that so resembled her fathers.
"Yes Kichona?" Kagome said sitting down on the porch of the shrine as she came up and gracefully planted herself in her mothers lap.
"Moteamasu is being mean to me again and daddy is siding with him!"
Kagome arched both of her eyebrows and sighed again "what do you accuse him of doing now?"
"He keeps taunting me by saying that I can't fight" she said crossing her arms and letting her face get red with anger.
Kagome was indeed fighting the urge to laugh at the cute girl; she had bright moonlight white hair and fell to mid-back with cute little black dog- ears residing on her head, she adapted her mother's eyes and had milky white claws, she was dressed in a kimono of the fire-rat, the material that her two children wore.
Kagome wrapped her arms around her upset daughter and hugged gently "now why did he say that?"
"Because I don't know how to wield Tetsusaiga....." she said drifting off.
"Now just because you don't know how to fight with Tetsusaiga like your brother is LEARNING too doesn't mean that you don't know how to fight period"
"Hmph!" she said.
Kagome smiled realizing that she made a point to her daughter and stood up, her daughter still in her embrace and walked into her family's hut where she saw her mate and her son sitting next to the fire-pit InuYasha polishing the infamous sword and her son trying to sharpen his wooden sword that he received from his recent fifth birthday.
Kagome marveled for the moment on how her son looked so much like his father, except for his eyes, he like his sister adapted his mother's eyes.
"So you had to run to mommy wimp-chona?" he said teasing his sibling.
"Moteamasu....." Kagome said dangerously which made him go back to what he was doing and mutter under his breath "sorry".
"Moteamasu if you can't learn to get along with your sister, maybe I should take you to stay with Kaede when I go to the village instead of letting you go with your father to help out Shippo?" she asked as she set her daughter down who sat next to her father and stuck her tongue out at her brother. "And maybe you can join him if you can't be nice Kichona".
"Yes mommy" they said in unison.
"c'mon Kagome give em' a break" InuYasha said smirking at his mate.
"And maybe I'll start practicing the's' word again if you don't play a fair referee" Kagome said to him plainly which made him gulp and shudder at the thought of being reunited to the hard ground.
It was true that Kagome didn't remove the magic beads.....well except for two days when she was giving birth to her children. Kaede ordered her to do so and she found out later when she couldn't help but yell 'sit' over and over when she was in labor.
*~*~*
Moteamasu was outside and crouching before the Sacred Tree that his parents put a special fence around. His eyes were squinting in concentration and he prepared to spring into the branches; she leaped.......and earned himself an up close and personal with the bare space on the trunk of the tree. He slid down a small rumble coming from his throat as she landed in between the wild roots of the old tree.
"What are you doing Moteamasu?" came the inquiring voice of his little sister by a year.
"None of your business" he grumbled back at her still mad that he couldn't jump into the tree.
Kichona sat on one of the branches and let her legs swing as she kept her eyes on her brother who was lying face down on the ground.
"Why don't you climb up?" she asked tilting her head skyward and gazing through the branches.
"Because only weaklings claw their way up" he retorted.
"Your only five Moteamasu and how old is daddy?" she said smartly.
"How am I supposed to know?" he said sitting up and bringing a clawed hand to his front of his robes and dusting the dirt away.
She shrugged "anyway daddy said he's gonna take us to Shippo later" she told him matter-of-factly and slid down the root and stood up.
Moteamasu grunted and walked with his sister back to the hut and to their parents.
*~*~*
Sango smiled and wiped her forehead with a damp cloth as her children came forward with a bucket of water. Her five year old Yutoku came forward helping his two four year-old sisters Hanta and Moretsana bring in a pail trying there best to help out.
"Here you are mommy!" Hanta exclaimed depositing the cool water at her mother's feet.
Sango smiled, Hanta and Moretsana were her twin girls both looking like there mother though there hair was much darker than Sango's own. Yutoku was just like his father, except that he wasn't a pervert. Her daughters dressed in blue and white Kimonos and her son in green Monk robes though he was too young to be called a monk.
"Where is your father?" she asked Yutoku.
"He's with Riyu and Mirui by the river" he replied happily at knowing the fact.
Riyu and Mirui where her two-year olds, and like their sisters where twins, Riyu was very quiet though laughed a lot and Mirui was too talkative though shy to strangers. They bother had pitch-black hair and freckles dancing across their noses. They had Sango's eyes though their father's facial structure.
Sango picked up the water bucket and sprinkled the water over the vegetable garden that resided next to her family's hut. Her home was at the entrance to the village so that they could provide protection though it was unnecessary. Sango's Hiraikotsu (boomerang bone) hung at the back wall in the hut for five years, ever since she returned to Kaede's village after her and her husband respectively buried her father and comrades. She considered remaining at the village and trying to put it back together but then she realized that it would be too painful and that it would be better if she left it for a grave site that she could visit.
The sudden sound of laughing thanks to Yutoku brought her attention back to reality as she saw her husband approaching wet with her two sons in arm.
Sango joined in with the laughter.
*~*~*
Kagome sat outside of the hut on the small porch before the entrance, watching Moteamasu and Kichona run around happily; she smiled and watched with her head in her palms and was extremely happy that they were getting along now. Suddenly Moteamasu jumped up a small tree and stuck his tongue out at his little sister who started growling at him and hiking her Kimono above her knees so that she could climb it. Moteamasu was laughing too much to notice that his little sister was right next to him and growling evilly before she pounced on him and they tumbled out.
Kagome was about to rush over before she heard the soft giggles of her children and they started running around again, this time Moteamasu looking for 'kill'.
'They are indeed InuYasha's children' she thought a smile gracing her features.
She suddenly lifted a board of the porch up and brought out a scroll and a quill and began to write:
Kichona sat before her babysitter her eyes as wide as plates. "WOW! Mommy and daddy actually did that?!"
Sango smiled at her and nodded happily "Wouldn't guess that now would you?". Suddenly the sound of sandals pushing there way through grass revealed Kichona's mother who had a woven basket on her hip.
"Mommy! Mommy! You wont believe what Sango told me!" she cried happily while jumping up and running to her mother and grasping her hand. "What?" she asked sitting next to her best friend and drawing her daughter into her lap, the basket at her side.
"Well mommy, it all started with a demon and a priestess....."
Kagome smiled at the memory that she placed on parchment and rolled it up carefully so that the ink wouldn't smudge. It was her masterpiece that she did when she remembered all of the fond memories of her adventures, and the time when Sango actually told that story.
*~*~*
Nightfall came and Kagome finished putting her children to bed. They resided in a room right next to her and InuYasha's so that she could easy get to her children if possible. InuYasha found her back on the porch and pulled her into his lap.
"You put the pups to bed?" he asked huskily into her ear.
She giggled and placed her forehead against the crook of his neck "Yes, though I wish that you didn't train them an hour before nightfall, they were so wired that I had to practically tie them to their beds".
"Keh!" he said silently and buried his nose into her hair.
'Some things will never change'
They sat like that for a while before Kagome talked again.
"InuYasha? What do you think would have happened if..... we never defeated Naraku?"
InuYasha stared at her for a minute and hugged her closer.
"One we would still be searching for the jewel and never ridded of it and two.... that's all"
"No I mean......." Kagome bit her lip trying to find a way to word her question.
"You mean if Kikyo never died?"
Kagome sat frozen and buried her head into his Haori.
"If that happened..... nothing would have changed" he said firmly and raked a clawed hand through her hair.
She nodded and hugged him a little tighter thankful that his answer was not any other.
*~*~*
Individual fates:
The Jewel was never used to transform any demon but was returned to its creator, Midoriko, in the cave from the demon exterminator's village where the barrier would be able to protect it better than Kagome, InuYasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara could have ever done.
Kagome and InuYasha completed the shrine that turned out to be the basis of Kagome's usual home. They tried three more times for children, twice Kagome having miscarriages and the third giving her another healthy baby girl named Shintsuki.
Kichona became the new priestess of the village when she turned twenty. She married Yutoku, son of Sango and Miroku, her brother's best friend and her parent's best friend's son.
Moteamasu married a inuyoukai (dog demon) named Meinu, who was from the western lands and a servant in his uncles' household. He roamed with his wife killing demons and protecting the innocent like his father before him.
Shintsuki unfortunately never married and helped her sister out with protecting the village.
InuYasha and Kagome went into the western lands after Sesshoumaru died from a battle with a descendent of Ryokutsei. They took over the lands and took care of them, keeping in touch with their children. They never died.
Miroku and Sango had two more children, Midoriko and Miyatsu. They both died at the age of ninety, Miroku died of old age and Sango died three months afterward from a broken heart.
The children eventually moved to the demon exterminators village and did what their ancestors before them did, became monks and demon exterminators. Yutoku did not join his siblings and was the only one who did not. Midoriko, Miyatsu, and Riyu did not marry, Mirui, Hanta, and Moretsana Married and revived the village that succeeded at putting demons on the brink of extinction.
Shippo stayed in a hut that InuYasha and his family helped him build, he married the little sister of the Thunder Brothers, they didn't succeed in having children.
Kirara had many litters of kittens, her descendents and herself protected Sango's and Miroku's children and descendents to come.
*~*~*
Family relation fates:
The gang always kept in touch and forever remained a 'family'.
Yutoku and Moteamasu were like miniature versions of their fathers, being best friends with Yutoku being the slight pervert and Moteamasu lost relationship wise, same with Hanta and Kichona.
InuYasha and Kagome took over as guardians for Miroku's and Sango's children when they died. It was a promise made between the friends if either couple were to die so that their children would remain happy and always have someone to turn to.
Kagome was reunited with her Mother, Grandfather, and her little brother or more or less her descendents, when she found her relatives again, it turned out she found them after she hopped through the well for the last time.
THE END
*~*~*
Author: Happy ending? I hope it was. I can't believe that this is it, the last chapter and I hope that you guys liked it at least ^_^
My new fan fic will not have and I repeat NOT have any connection to this story though I may re-use some the children's names for the future and they DO belong tome, do not steal!!!
I thank all of my reviewers for giving me the gift of 119!!! Reviews!!! I never thought it possible.
Oh and I let InuYasha and the gang out earlier ^_^***
My new fan fic, 'soul' will be posted A.S.A.P. and to those who may be interested please put so in your review with your e-mail address so that I can e-mail you when I put the first chapter up which will be within 2-3 weeks promise ^_^
Summary for 'Tamashii(soul)'
(Takes place after Kikyo comes back; no distinct time after that; AU)
Naraku is up to his old tricks again, another incarnation is made, but with his new body and new powers, this one is the worst one he has ever created. It has the power to control and kill souls but with a twist, she can also summon unborn souls of children that are fated to be born. But why would Naraku want that? Unless he wants to put InuYasha and Kagome through an emotional hell..... I/K M/S

Kagome and InuYasha completed the shrine that turned out to be the basis of Kagome's usual home. They tried three more times for children, twice Kagome having miscarriages and the third giving her another healthy baby girl named Shintsuki.
Kichona became the new priestess of the village when she turned twenty. She married Yutoku, son of Sango and Miroku, her brother's best friend and her parent's best friend's son.
Moteamasu married a inuyoukai (dog demon) named Meinu, who was from the western lands and a servant in his uncles' household. He roamed with his wife killing demons and protecting the innocent like his father before him.
Shintsuki unfortunately never married and helped her sister out with protecting the village.
InuYasha and Kagome went into the western lands after Sesshoumaru died from a battle with a descendent of Ryokutsei. They took over the lands and took care of them, keeping in touch with their children. They never died.
Miroku and Sango had two more children, Midoriko and Miyatsu. They both died at the age of ninety, Miroku died of old age and Sango died three months afterward from a broken heart.
The children eventually moved to the demon exterminators village and did what their ancestors before them did, became monks and demon exterminators. Yutoku did not join his siblings and was the only one who did not. Midoriko, Miyatsu, and Riyu did not marry, Mirui, Hanta, and Moretsana Married and revived the village that succeeded at putting demons on the brink of extinction.
Shippo stayed in a hut that InuYasha and his family helped him build, he married the little sister of the Thunder Brothers, they didn't succeed in having children.
Kirara had many litters of kittens, her descendents and herself protected Sango's and Miroku's children and descendents to come.
*~*~*
Family relation fates:
The gang always kept in touch and forever remained a 'family'.
Yutoku and Moteamasu were like miniature versions of their fathers, being best friends with Yutoku being the slight pervert and Moteamasu lost relationship wise, same with Hanta and Kichona.
InuYasha and Kagome took over as guardians for Miroku's and Sango's children when they died. It was a promise made between the friends if either couple were to die so that their children would remain happy and always have someone to turn to.
Kagome was reunited with her Mother, Grandfather, and her little brother or more or less her descendents, when she found her relatives again, it turned out she found them after she hopped through the well for the last time.
THE END

Summary for 'Tamashii(soul)'
(Takes place after Kikyo comes back; no distinct time after that; AU)
Naraku is up to his old tricks again, another incarnation is made, but with his new body and new powers, this one is the worst one he has ever created. It has the power to control and kill souls but with a twist, she can also summon unborn souls of children that are fated to be born. But why would Naraku want that? Unless he wants to put InuYasha and Kagome through an emotional hell..... I/K M/S

And for the last word that shall be written:
