And Those Amber Eyes of Sunlight...-Chapter 20: Epilogue
Sighing in frustration, he couldn't stand to tolerate it anymore and turned his face ever so slightly towards the woman who stood beside him. "What's wrong, why are you crying," Inuyasha whispered to the silently, eight months after the encounter with Naraku. "Nothing and I'm not," She answered back, just as quiet, as the priest in front of them babbled on about something. "Liar, you are crying," he hissed back, fearing that she was having second thoughts about the whole situation.
"I am not," She yelled back loud enough for the hushed voices around them and the priest, to pause in their talking. "Yes you are! Why?! Are you getting cold feet on me," Inuyasha yelled back, turning towards her.
"No I'm not, Inuyasha," Kagome replied, turning towards him as well, "I'm crying because I'm so fucking happy, dammit!" A loud gasp came from the audience and she ignored it, continuing, "I would never get cold feet around you, Inuyasha, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and by golly, if you ever, ever ever ever ever EVER! leave me, I'll ring your neck and use it as a shoe lace!"
Dumbfounded, Inuyasha only stared at her, his mouth hanging open in shock before she closed it for him with a heated look, turning back to the priest and motioning for him to continue. But all through the rest of the ceremony, all Inuyasha could think about was her, even as they exchanged the rings. He chuckled mentally and snapped back into present time though, as the priest asked him in reverie, "Inuyasha(Insert Last Name Here), do you take Kagome Higurashi to be your wedded wife?"
Gulping down the lump that had risen in his throat, he nodded, though tears were forming at the corner of his eyes, and answered back in a shaky, but excited, voice, "I do." The priest nodded and turned to Kagome, asking the same question. "Yes, of course," She answered back, tears once more springing to existence in her eyes as well.
"It's final then, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mr. Inuyasha (Insert Last Name Here), you have my permission to kiss the bride," The priest said, as if to end all argument against it. Turning towards Kagome, he smiled awkwardly; those small shows of emotions still didn't come easy for him. And Kagome, having none of the shyness that he had, flung her arms around him as he in turn pulled her close. Staring into each others eyes for a moment they smiled happily then he pressed his lips against hers, sealing the deal for as long as both of them lived. The audience around them erupted into life then, standing and cheering. But Inuyasha couldn't hear them, nor could Kagome for that matter, she was thinking of the rest of their lives together, and those amber eyes of sunlight...
Two Years Later
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha, come quick," Kagome cried out the front door to her husband who was sitting in his favorite tree. Slightly alarmed at her calls, Inuyasha leapt from the tree and through the doorway. "Kagome! What is it, what's wrong?!"
"Inuyasha, shush, look," She answered, covering his mouth with one hand and pointing with the other to a little toddler with messy raven hair and amber eyes who made her way towards her parents on a pair of shaky legs, her small black ears twitching with Shippo following behind and Sango watching carefully with Kirara sitting on her shoulder as Miroku mused with her dark brown hair, watching with a faint smile as well.
Gasping faintly, Inuyasha kneeled down to catch his daughter before she fell and scooped her and Shippo up, depositing the still small kitsune on his shoulder while he held the baby girl, who's name was Anata, and cooed softly to her, tickling her belly carefully with one extended claw. Smiling, Kagome watched, her head leaning against his shoulder, and was just about to stand on tip toes to kiss his cheek when the phone rang.
Sighing, she moved away from him and answered the phone. Picking up the receiver she said, "Hello?" "Ms. Higurashi," The man said on the other end of the line. Wrinkling her brow, she answered back slowly, wondering why she hadn't been addressed by her husband's last name, "Yes?" The voice continued, taking a deep breath, "Ms. Higurashi, this is Officer Peters...I have some bad news for you..."
Inuyasha turned, surprised, when he heard the sound of crashing behind him, only to find that his wife had dropped the cordless phone and was now backing away from it, one hand raised to cover her mouth in shock as she pressed herself to the wall opposite of it. "Kagome? What's wrong," he asked softly, handing the baby Anata to Sango who had stood and walked over to see what was wrong.
Looking over, she stared at him with wide eyes and he dreaded the news that would come next as he walked to her and knelt beside his now quivering wife. Reaching a hand up to stroked her cheek, looking back towards the phone for a moment then towards her once more. "Tell me," He persued in a soft voice.
"Naraku's awakened..."
