Two Years Later

It had been two years sense the battle with Lord Hirotksu. Sesshoumaru granted Akira his freedom from service, for his outstanding bravery in the battle, and courage, and loyalty. For how much more loyal could a person be if he was willing to kill his own sister for him?

Kagome laughed when she felt someone's arm circle around her slightly large belly. Sesshoumaru brushed her hair away from her neck, as he nuzzled her neck from behind.

"How is the mother-to-be?"

"I'm doing just fine Sesshoumaru. You just checked 30 minutes ago! What about your meeting with the other lords?"

"They think I'm out getting more sake." Kagome turned around smiling at him.

"You have servants to do that for you." He winked at her.

"Yes... But they're all busy." Kagome laughed circling her arms around his neck, kissing him softly.

"You better go, before they realize your skipping out on them."

"I think they will live. Besides, they where the same way when their mates was with child." Kagome laughed, kissing him softly.

"Go, Sesshoumaru. Every thing is going to be all right! Besides, after you finish your meeting, we get to go visit Rin and Akira. I've got this all under control! I gave birth to Kanzaburo and Arisa just fine, didn't I?" Sesshoumaru nodded, quickly placing a kiss on her lips.

"I'll be right back after the meeting."

"I have no doubt you will." Kagome smiled watching him leave the room, aware of his looks over his shoulder, no matter how hidden they seemed. Walking through a sliding door, Kagome knelt down beside her three-year-old Kanzaburo, and her two-year-old daughter Arisa. Giving them both quick hugs, joined in their game, laughing at the childish antics.

Three hours later the meeting ended, and Sesshoumaru walked into his room, smiling when he found the door to the children's room opened, and found his mate, and two children laughing and playing. "Daddy!" Kanzaburo cried jumping up and walking unsteadily to him.

Sesshoumaru picked him up with ease, laughing softly when Arisa walked over to him even more unsteadily. With the other arm, Sesshoumaru picked her up as well, kissing her cheek.

His eyes flickered to the smirking face of Kagome who was walking up to him. "The mighty Sesshoumaru has a weak spot for his children." she smirked. "Who would have thought?" Sesshoumaru's eyes twinkled with amusement.

"I would advise you not to say such things, while holding your children, Lady Kagome. I fear they might get squished." Kagome laughed walking over to him, and kissing his cheek.

"Are we all ready to go to Akira's and Rin's?" Sesshoumaru nodded.

"Jaken!" he called walking into the hall way. Jaken ran to his service, never far from his master.

"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru?" the toad bowed.

"Go get Ah-Un ready. We are running late to visit Akira and Rin." Jaken bowed, and ran to do his chore.

Once they got there, a 16-year-old girl came running out. "Mother! Father!" Rin said happily. Akira followed close behind, holding a little bundle in his arms.

"Hello Rin!" Kagome said happily, looking at the home that she lived in for about a year while Sesshoumaru fought in the war. Kagome hugged Rin, before turning to Akira.

"Is that your son?" Kagome asked. Akira nodded. Kagome squealed with happiness, reaching out to hold him. Akira happily handed the little boy to Kagome.

"What did you name him?" Sesshoumaru asked coming up from behind them.

"We where hoping that you wouldn't mind having him named after you, Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru stared down at the young baby.

"No... I wouldn't mind at all."

Kagome smiled as she walked up to him, her two children clinging onto her skirts, her smile widened as four people walked out. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and InuYasha. Sango was 5 months pregnant with their first child.

"Hello, every one!" Kagome said walking up to hug them.

Kagome and Sesshoumaru stayed in the room that was originally made for her, when the house was first made. "Why do you love me?" Sesshoumaru said suddenly. It was the game they played at least once a week, and each week, Kagome would come up with something new, and then she would ask the question, then him in return.

"It's just something about you. Why do you love me?" Sesshoumaru smirked at her.

"It's just something about you." he mocked. Kagome laughed softly kissing him, wrapping her arms around his neck softly, as he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I love you, Sesshoumaru."

"And I love you, Kagome." Sesshoumaru whispered against her lips.

I'M DONE!!! This story is finally complete.

Short chapter I know, but there really isn't anything left to write.

Also, AN ANSWER TO A REVIEWER THAT I THINK YOU SHOULD ALL KNOW!

Some one has asked me about 'Married Does Not Mean Mated'.... Well, that story was old. I hated the plot. I hated the story in general. I honestly did try to finish it, but you don't know of how much of a chore it seemed, rather then something I love to do. Please don't be angry, but I just couldn't stand that story any longer.

If you must know, I had full intentions of having it a happy ending.

I WAS going to have Naraku open the 'beast' and then in the end to be destroyed by it, in the very end. Ironic. Sesshoumaru and Kagome would be a loving couple, and rule in peace. Aya would fully get what was coming to her. The sea monster would return, and live peacefully with the next ruler, or the next person in line with the throne.

InuYasha would be happy with Kikyou, along with Miroku and Sango, would be happy with each other as well. Shippo would have lived, of course, with Sesshoumaru and Kagome.

I must apologize again... But the story was killing me, and I felt quilty about just leaving hanging like that constantly, for one measly little chapter, that I thought wasn't good any way. (In fact, looking back at the old chapters and other stories that I had written a long time ago, is crap.)

Hopefully, a new story I'll write will be better and more thought out. I'm sorry to say, but "The Pleasure slave" will also be deleted, as I wrote that late at night, and have no where to go with it. I must apologize for all the deleting, but I have changed a lot the last few months, and my stories, and writing, I hope to say are only getting better.

THIS ISN'T A FINAL GOOD BYE! I promise you... I'll write more stories as soon as possible. Just give me some time, to think one up.

Good bye, for this story though, and thank you for all your reviews.

I loved them all.

(I better go, before the author note is longer then the chapter!) lol

Farewell, and happy reading.
