Epilogue

"YUSUKE!" Yusuke was seen running out of the shrine, a terrified look on his face.

Hiei, Kuwabara, and Kurama watched as he ran passed them, a look of pure fear on his face.

The next thing they knew, a very angry Kagome, Keiko, and never angry Yukina followed.

Kagome had a baseball bat in her hand, her eyes promising pain for Yusuke. Keiko, well Keiko didn't need a weapon, her fists would do fine.

Yusuke ran around the God tree, trying to get as far away from the two crazed females. "A little help guys?" Yusuke yelled at Hiei, Kuwabara, and Kurama.

Kuwabara ignored him, already sweet talking Yukina who kept blushing.

Hiei scoffed, looking bored. "What ever you did Yusuke, you probably deserve the beating your going to get."

Yusuke glared at him,"See if I ever save your butt again."

"Please, you've never saved me from anything." Hiei replied.

Kagome was just about to catch up with Yusuke when a pair of strong arms encircled her waist. She was pulled back until her back met with a well toned hard chest.

Kurama, still in Youko formed held back the struggling Kagome from killing Yusuke. "What did you do to make my mate mad now, Yusuke?" Kurama asked.

"I didn't do anything, she just went berserk on me." Yusuke smirked when Kagome couldn't get out of Kurama's hold. His smirk disappeared when a fist connected with his head. "OW, what did you do that for Keiko?"

"Cause you're an idiot "

Kuwabara laughed at the bump forming on Yusuke's head. "Ha ha, Urameshi is getting beat up by his own girl friend."

"At least I have one." Yusuke said, rubbing the bump on his head.

"I have a girl friend! Yukina's my girl, right Yukina?" Kuwabara said. Yukina blushed profusely but Hiei growled at Kuwabara.

"What's your problem shrimp?"

"You are." Hiei replied.

Happy with the distraction, Kagome jumped out of Kurama's arms and smacked Yusuke upside the head with her hand.

Now there were tow big red bumps protruding from Yusuke's head.

"That's what you get for calling me fat."

Kurama looked bewildered. "Are you blind Yusuke, where do you go and call my mate fat."Kurama asked, a little hint of anger in his voice. Kurama had gotten very overprotective of Kagome these past months. That's why he stayed in his Youko form, he was stronger.

Yusuke smiled sheepishly, "Well, uh.., I didn't mean right now. Um.. why don't you ask Kagome."

Now it was Kagome's turn to become nervous. "What does he mean Kagome?"

"Rimeregnant" Kagome mumbled.

"What was that honey?" Kurama asked.

Kagome's face became redder. "I"M PREGNANT!"

Kurama stood there for a while, the words slowly seeping into his head. The next moment, he was on the ground, having fainted.

Kagome sweatdropped, "I hope he doesn't do that when I have the baby."

--------------------------------

----fast forward, months later------

"breathe honey, breathe."

Kagome's anger was quickly growing at Kurama.

"I AM breathing." She screamed Kagome's grip tightened on his hand.

Kurama felt like his fingers were about to break off if she squeezed any harder.

"Almost there, one more push!" Kagome heard the doctor say.

With one last push, the baby was out, crying could be heard through out the room.

Kagome and Kurama, looked on, tears in their eyes.

"You have a beautiful baby boy." One of the nurses said. The nurse placed the small baby boy in her arms.

Kagome smiled down, the little baby slowly opened his eyes, gold eyes stared back at Kagome.

More tears appeared in Kagome's eyes. The memory of a familar gold eyes popped in her mind. Inuyasha... Inuyasha was given a second chance, this time, as a full blooded demon. Kagome saw the little boy smile, the same familiar smile she remembered. She hoped Kikyou was given a second chance too, maybe this time, they would both live happily.

"Let's name him Inuyasha Kurama Higurashi." Kagome said to her mate.

But when she turned to look at Kurama, she found him on the floor. Kagome sweat dropped.

He had fainted again.
