Author's Notes: Oh my god, this is so short, BUT it is the last chapter of this story. I think I need to fix some of the time arrangements, but I'll do that later on. All that counts is, that this is the end. And I hope you enjoyed this.
Disclaimer: I don't' think I need to write this anymore…..

Inerasable Scars
Part Three: Take My Breath Away

Shopping have always brightened their moods. Now was a great example of it. The two girls were laughing and joking around with each other, while behind them stood two irritated men with enormous filled shopping bags keeping their hands busy.
Inuyasha and Miroku had decided to go with them to the mall since they had nothing better to do. But boy, they just had to be reminded of women's shopping habits.
By the end of the day, all their feet hurt from all the walking.
Kagome decided to shut the guys' moaning voices up by making an announcement of her own. She turned to face them all and clapped her hands together. "Say, let's go to that restaurant near the beach. I heard it has a great view of the ocean." She said happily.
"Sounds like a great idea Kagome." Miroku turned to Sango for her approval. She nodded in return.
"So then let's go. I'm starving!" Inuyasha emphasized that fact with the guttural growling that was emitting from his stomach.

The two couples sat at different tables. The waiter had brought Sango and Miroku to their table first. Then Kagome requested to be brought away from the couple, but also to be seated outside near the beach. The waiter complied and grabbed a couple more menus to seat the couple.
Kagome sat across from Inuyasha. She looked out to the beach. The waves were crashing to the shore, but were forced to flow back towards the ocean, in a continuous pattern. She averted her gaze to the full moon. Inuyasha had his eyes on her the whole entire time.
"This is a great place for Sango and Miroku. It's so romantic here." She sighed blissfully.
Inuyasha took her hands into his and said gently, "You know, you look beautiful in the moonlight." It seemed as he haven't heard her previous comment.
She smiled at him without blushing. She gazed at him, noticing how his silver hair glowed like the moon shining upon them. His amber eyes were staring right back into her deep blue ones. "And you're my cute little puppy." She stood up a bit from her chair and tapped his noise lightly.
He emitted a playful, low growl from his chest. "You're not going to get away from that, calling me a puppy."
She laughed lightly. "Oh yeah? Well, what're you going to do about that, hm?"
"Oh just you wait till tonight. I'll have my revenge on you in no time. Just you wait." His voice was husky and gave out a hint of playfulness. He smirked at her shocked reaction.

Sitting a few tables away, Sango looked around for Kagome and Inuyasha. When she saw the two disappear behind a large plant that was blocking her view, she sighed silently and turned to look out to the beach.
Miroku watched his lover gaze at the scenic landscape. He had to admit, it was a nice view, just as Kagome had said. But, the woman before him was stunningly beautiful. Her hair was let down and the warm ocean breeze blew a few strands into her face. He took them away from her face and tucked them behind her ears.
Sango looked at him questioningly. "I couldn't see your gorgeous face." She couldn't help but redden at his comment.
The waiter took this moment to take their orders. The dinners came after a little while. When they finished their meal, they laid back onto their chairs.
"That was delicious. But Miroku, that meal must have cost a fortune! Kagome never told us about these outrageous prices."
"As long as it satisfies you, then it doesn't matter." He grinned.
"This is such a nice and expensive restaurant. I feel like I dressed a little too casual." She was wearing jeans with a simple t-shirt which accentuated her curves quite nicely.
"No matter what you wear, it's perfect to me." Miroku subconsciously fingered the little velvet box in his pocket. While the girls were shopping in their own little world, he and Inuyasha hung out.
Miroku was talking about a certain topic about women. But when the aggravated hanyou smacked the side of his head for making an inappropriate comment, a thought struck to his head. He had totally forgotten about what today was. He had gone to the jewelry store with Inuyasha and chose a fairly expensive ring, but it was dazzling.
Inuyasha felt bummed that Miroku was going to be before him, but he wished Miroku the best of luck.
Miroku fingered the little black box once again. He had recited the words that he was going to say in his head over and over again while he was eating. Then he finally stopped, cleared all thoughts from his head and decided to just say it all out, without any memorized lines. He had learned that from his years of experience. Words just fluently came out of his mouth. He wasn't the type to recite them in his head, so why now?
"Sango……do you know what today is?"
She lifted her index finger and put it her chin. She seemed to be in deep thought, but then it hit her. "Today's our anniversary! Oh my god Miroku, why didn't you tell me before?"
"Well to be honest, I didn't truly remember it till at the shopping mall," He truthfully admitted.
She frowned that he had forgotten also, but was pleased by his honesty. Suddenly, Miroku stood up from his chair and strolled over to Sango's side. He went on one knee without taking his eyes off of her.
Sango's eyes widened at the sight. She couldn't believe what was truly happening. He held out the box revealing the beautiful ring inside. She gasped as her mind went haywire as her body stood immobile.
"It's been three years Sango. Will you, Sango Yomiuri, take my hand in marriage?" She wanted to cry again. But this time, it wasn't tears of grief, but tears of happiness. A single tear rolled down her cheek.
She nodded. "Yes!" He smiled as she brought them both up to their feet. She flew her arms around his neck. "Yes, yes, yes! Of course I'll marry you Miroku!" Couples from nearby tables had been watching the scene ever since Miroku went down on his knee. Applauses were heard. Kagome and Inuyasha, fortunately, had seen it also. They went over to them and congratulated the two.

Epilogue ( A short epilogue, heh he. )

Three Years Later
She rubbed gently at her corpulent stomach. It was getting rounder by the minute. Under her palm, she felt a small movement.
"Now aren't you quite the violent one. You're not like my usually compassionate husband."
A small child with dark brown hair and violet eyes ran out the back door in hopes of reaching the pregnant woman. He sure did run fast, even with his tiny feet.
"Mama! A monsta is out to gat me. It's 'cary and is out to gat you too." She laughed warmly as he struggled to speak clearly. She spotted his dirty hands that had many colors on them. The boy noticed her suspicious gaze and tried to hide his hands.
"I would help you beat up that monster if I wasn't in this condition. Now where is that scary monster of ours?"
As if on cue, a man who had different colors of paint sloppily plastered on his shirt and face, came over to them. The woman burst into laughter as the young boy looked up to his mother wondering what was so amusing.
The man just sighed. "Must you make fun of your son's masterpiece?"
"Well Miroku, I think you look just fine with all those colors on you." She pecked him on the lips, not bothering to get herself dirty with paint. Miroku's facial expression clearly stated: That's it?
Miroku went to Sango to kiss her again, only this time more deeply. Sango responded without hesitation, but then she felt two slimy hands on her cheeks.
"Ewwwww, Mama looks like Papa now." Sango wondered what that meant, but she then realized the paint, the smug grin on her husband's face and the half-disgusted look on her son's face.
"Go get your Papa! You're Mama is too fat to run, so avenge for me!" Her son complied to her wishes and started chasing after the said man.
Miroku laughed and ran as the boy tried to catch him. Sango cheered him on. Miroku slowed down for the boy to catch up. That was all their son needed to catch the victim. Miroku fell down on the soft grass with the help of his son.
Sango smiled. Miroku made her happy. Her scars had faded and together with her family, she was going to live happily ever after.
They were indeed a happy family.

Author's Notes: I'm so happy, I FINISHED a story. I actually completed a multiple-chapter story. I have NEVER done that (that's because I always leave the other ones in the dust as new ones pop up…..¬¬) Even though this was quite short….I still finished it, xD. I might fix it a bit later on. But anyways, all that counts right now, is your wonderful feedback. That's all that takes for me to work on my other stories.
