Well, that's that. This is a happier epilogue to the previously depressing
story earlier. Hey, like I said, things can only get better! ::Glares at
Kikyo meaningfully::
On a side note, my dog just pooted and IT REALLY STINKS IN HERE. GAS CHAMBER...
...And my really evil cold came back with a vengeance. This stinks.
Now for review responses! (On a completely different note)
auby—THANK YOU. I'm glad (well, not glad, but I feel a bond with the whole understanding) that you were sad Saru died. Aw, you thought it was a good story? ::Scuffs feet shyly:: Really? Well I feel loved now. Oh there is more, just a tad more, but enough.
Dancing barefoot in my socks—thanx for all the reviews! Um, no, the misplaced modifier was in the chapter. Mwahaha well I'm responding in a normal fashion, right? I was just a lazy bum before. I am amazed you read all my schizo banterings. I didn't even read them all. Saru was possessed by his eviler side in the last chappie and was beating Inuyasha. Yes, it would be really funny if something (a chipmunk...how'd that get there?) leaped out of his pants. Sorry about the phlegm. Thought that was mucousy enough for you (Hehehe titter titter titter). Monkeys do grin, and I died laughing when you said all the stuff about the school zoo trip. Saru...I can't remember, was he smoking? Congratulations, Saru DID burn in hell and he DID NOT kill Inuyasha; he just died.
Dancing barefoot in my socks (again)—die damn Wizard of Oz. He was a friggin fake anyway. If glade made a plugin of fresh death, I'm sure people would reel and faint because of it. Idiot. Anyway...I love you, DBIMS. Not like that, of course, like THAT. The ending WASN'T DEPRESSING? EXCUSE ME? Saru friggin died? DID YOU NOT SEE THAT?? Hmph. Fine. One-sentence plots rule.
BY THE WAY...I was thinking about writing a really weird story on fp.net. It would be me, rambling the way I do....And that would be the whole plot. Well, I think it would be fun. Give me a chance to vent, non? Even if no one read it, it'd be fun. Tell me what you think (good/bad) and I'll listen! REALLY!
**NOTE: THIS IS THE EPILOGUE. AS IN IT'S OPTIONAL. SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ IT, WELL...don't.**
This takes place 3 years later, and Inuyasha and Kagome have gotten married if I haven't mentioned that yet.
Chapter-excuse me, EPILOGUE
Kaede came running from the hut excitedly, waving her arms around like a (a/n: I hate to use this analogy, but...) windmill. "He's here, he's here! Go see him!"
Inuyasha paused mid-sentence. "He-he IS?" Face blanching, he ran into the modest hut, eyes nervous at the prospect of the new face.
Miroku laughed as Inuyasha ran inside, hugging Sango closer to him. "Ah, makes you wish we had our own, doesn't it?"
Sango chuckled lightly and drew his bare hands around her waist. "We could fix that, you know." She fingered his right palm thoughtfully, tracing the slight skin discoloration that was the only trace of his Wind Tunnel left.
Miroku's eyes widened and he grinned. He buried his face in her hair, mumbling, "I would love to, but let's allow the two their moment before we have ours."
Shippo walked around nervously. He was still not used to the prospect of birth, even after his 11 whelps from Sultanabad (a/n: sounds like a bloody sheep if you ask me) (a/n: or Sinbad in feminine form), not to mention he viewed Kagome as his mother (and imagining your mom giving birth would give ANYONE the shivers). "Oh man, I hope everything's going okay."
"Shippo, the old piratess (a/n: yes piratess) just said that he's walking around, so I'm assuming he's fine," Sultanabad said. Shippo had obviously drawn the short end of the stick; she had a horrible hearing impediment and was about as smart as a bottle of vinegar. Their children were running around, crawling on miscellaneous body parts (1/2 of them had walrus butts, the others had walrus heads...eww) and whacking heads (again, what are they, part sheep? Ram, methinks?).
Faltering, Shippo began a mad dash into the cabin. "THAT'S NOT WHAT KAEDE SAID! KAGOME!" He was still as jittery as he was when he was younger.
He ran in, panting heavily. When he looked up, he saw Kagome sitting on a makeshift bed of straw and a sheet (now bloody, erlack), holding a little screaming animal in another sheet. She looked up and smiled at him, eyes tired and face sweaty. Inuyasha was seated next to her with his arm around her waist, staring at the most fragile thing he had ever had feelings for. His head was cocked appreciatively as he gazed at his son joyfully.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, smiling happily. She pulled the sheet back a little, exposing a now quiet head. Little amber eyes looked up at Kagome, watching her every move. He had silver fuzz on his head and over his dog ears, which had black splotches. They were folded down, but they would crop them later (kidding, kidding! They were just going to leave them droopy...it's kind of cute!). "He has your ears, Inuyasha, so it's you who'll decide what to name him. Well?" she asked, a merry thrum to her voice.
"Whatever you want him to be called," Inuyasha said, gazing lovingly into her eyes. He snuggled closer, wiping stray hairs off her face. Inuyasha had grown more accustomed to PDA once they grew more intimate and no one seemed to be horrified, and once Kikyo had been "tragically" squashed by a gigantic heifer-demon for unknown reasons and died (a/n: I swear I had nothing to do with that...).
"I think Kanji would be a good name for him." She looked down at her small son, who gazed at her wonderingly. "Kanji." The syllables sounded right for him as he yawned, showing a tiny mouth with a miniature tongue poking out.
"I think you should follow his example," Inuyasha said as he pulled her back until she lay upon the straw with her head on his chest. He sighed contentedly.
Yawning, she subconsciously matched her breathing with the rise and fall of Inuyasha's chest. "That sounds good. Kaede, if you could—"
Kaede leaned down and picked up Kanji, holding him lovingly. "Goodnight, you two." She walked out to introduce him to the world. Shippo followed after shaking his head in disbelief. Squeals of excitement reached the couple in the hut, as well as laughter and Shippo's nervous babbling. The sunlight drifted in a window, warming their bodies. The straw felt nicely after such a long day, and it had been a long day for Kagome.
They smiled and closed their eyes happily, instinctively drawing closer to each other.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
...And that's where we'll leave them. Wasn't that happy? Of course it was, KIKYO DIED!
Kikyo: I know you were the one that caused the heifer-demon to crush me. Me: Why, whatever do you mean? I'm an innocent bystander! Kikyo: Lying bitch. Me: Don't talk about yourself like that. Kikyo: I bet you paid off the damn cow, and since her bull had left her, what did she have to lose? Me: Well, she could have lost...SHE thought it was a good idea to squash you, not me. I SUGGESTED ARSENIC. Kikyo: Arse-what? Me: Did you just say arse? I didn't know you know such language! GASP! Kikyo: Uh-huh... Me: Sorry. Bite of British humor. Kikyo: What the hell is Britain? Me: They're actually really cool, if I had ever been and spoke from personal experience. Kikyo: ...uh-huh. Well, Inuyasha will still die by my hand. Me: You idiot, you're dead...again. You can't kill him anymore. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET HIM AND ME BE HAPPY? Kikyo: You and him? Me: Uh—slip of the tongue. I meant him and Kagome. Kikyo: Why are you gripping Sesshomaru's arm so protectively? Sesshomaru: Why am I even here? Me: Because I love you...say, are you busy tonight? (silence) Sesshomaru: Kikyo, are you doing anything tonight? Kikyo: Well, I— Me: LIKE HELL YOU ARE. Sesshomaru, she's not doing anything at all. But I'm free. (Sesshomaru runs away in fright) Kikyo: You idiot, you scared him away. He was my only hope of having a relationship. Me: We have a relationship: I hate you. That's a relationship. Kikyo: I like you. Me: You fat lying evil woman. Kikyo: ... Me: Damn straight. Kikyo: Um, you are weird. Me: I know. (bazooie starts dancing to Owee by No Limit, shaking her rather sexy ass (if she had one, which sadly she doesn't. Wait, you don't need to know that!)) Kikyo: You like it when I "shake it" in a THONG? Me: How do you even know what a thong is? Kikyo: Well, Onigumo and I did have a sexual history. Funny story, really. See, I had just ripped of his pants when I noticed that his twig/berries were— Me: OKAY, I'M NOT LISTENING ANYMORE.
Sorry about that. But I kind of liked it. It's a nice contrast to the rest of the story. Well, anyway, as some song says, "another one bites the dust"!
PS-Sorry about all the author notes if you don't like 'em. So tough munchers for ya.
On a side note, my dog just pooted and IT REALLY STINKS IN HERE. GAS CHAMBER...
