AN: Hey guys, this is the final chapter! I hope you guys liked the last one, and I'm sorry I didn't get to let you guys review on that one. I wanted to end this quickly while I had the chapter in my head. I hope you all enjoyed this story! I will wait for about a month before posting a review-reply chapter, 'cause I want to be sure I get everyone's review! But, as many people did not do in my recent stories, I would really like it if you could just e-mail, and I mean, write an e-mail, NOT from , a completely NEW e-mail and send it to me so I can just reply to you via e-mail and not have to go through so much trouble by going to your profile, getting your e-mail addy, and doing a bunch of work. Because I really want to reply to you, but I don't want to keep posting new chapters on my story just for replies! I'm sorry if that sounds rude, but I really am worried. Okay? Wells, on with the story!

Chapter Sixteen-Unconditional Love

I watched as the police cars came to the church after Kyle had called them. Kiara's body was on the ground, dead from the bullet I put in her chest. For some reason, after he called the police and Kiara was dead, Kyle ran and wiped the gun of my fingerprints, and put his own on them. I was going to ask why, but he just winked at me and told the officers that he had killed Kiara.

"Are you all right, sir?" One policeman asked me as I stood on the steps, watching them take Kyle in for murder.

I shook all thoughts out of my mind and gave a weak smile. "Yes, I'm fine."

"Do you need a ride home, sir?"

"No thank you, I live down the street."

"Okay, have a nice day, sir." He tipped his hat as a farewell.

"You, too." I called after him, watching him and the last of the policemen get into their cars and drive off.

And there I stood, all alone, confused, and amazed at the adventure I had just experienced. I had killed Kiara, a demon, and I had scared Kyle into taking the blame for me. I shook the thought away. No, I was willing to pay the price for what I had done, but he willingly took his own life for my own. I smiled and turned around, walking into the church to look at the picture of Jesus in the back.

"A life for a life," I whispered, my eyes filling with tears as I stared up at the picture.

As I stood there, the air around me grew still, yet peaceful. There was no weight on my shoulders, no nagging in my mind, no urgency I needed to attend to. It was just I, and the rest of the church and the angels still around me.

"Miroku!"

I turned around and saw Sango standing in the doorway, her hand over her mouth as she stared at the blood in the entryway. I looked at her, her face pale, and tears rolling down her cheeks.

And then she ran. She ran down the hall, past the pews, and crashed into my chest, wrapping her small arms around me tightly. I held her back in my arms, and let tears of my own fall from my eyes. How I had longed for this moment!

"It really happened, Sango." I whispered in her hair. "Your vision came true."

She nodded, "I know. I saw it all happen."

I pushed her back, keeping her at arm's length. "What do you mean?"

She smiled up at me and rubbed her palm against my cheek. "I saw it happen because I was sitting outside, watching it all happen. That Tal is amazing, isn't he?"

I smiled and held her hand in my own, giving it a little peck. "Not as half amazing as you."

She blushed, and leaned into me as I held her.

The church was packed with people on that Sunday in May. Flowers were blooming outside, and they glistening through the stained glass windows. I stood at the altar, standing firmly, and nervously. I saw many familiar faces in the crowd. Some old friends of mine were sitting to the left, and to my right were friends that Sango knew. Inuyasha stood to my left, hopping up and down to show he was excited. I smiled at him, and he smiled back. Sota gave me a wink from his spot behind Inuyasha, and I gave him one in return.

And then the music started, and I couldn't breathe. Down the pathway came a little girl, who was a child Sango babysat a long time ago, followed by a little boy I knew when I was teaching three years ago. Then came Kagome, in an elegant pink dress made of pure silk. She smiled up at me, then at Inuyasha. She made her way to the altar, standing to my right. She looked at Inuyasha, and rubbed her enlarged stomach. I grinned at Inuyasha, and then held my breath as the song changed.

There she came, dressed in a white dress of pure silk. A small veil was on top of her head, glistening with pearls. Her eyes caught mine through the veil, and she grinned. I tried to grin back, but I was unsure of what that came out to be. It must have been something funny, because she giggled slightly.

Sango tried to keep from screaming as she stood beside me, and I reached my hand out to hers. She reached for it, and held it gently in her own. I tried to keep my grip from squeezing. She gave me a tiny squeeze of reassurance.

"We are gathered here today to join..." I couldn't hear Kaede any more after that. My mind began to wander.

"Oh! She's precious!" Sango cried as she covered her mouth with her hands.

I laughed and held the little kitten in my arms. It was a small kitten, with tan fur and black lines on her tail. She was wearing a giant red bow around her neck, and meowed as Sango took her out of my arms.

"I thought you'd like her," I said, watching Sango cradle the new member of our family in her arms. She giggled as the kitten purred softly, closing its eyes as Sango ran her finger across its stomach.

"What are we going to call her?"

"You decide," I said. "It's your cat."

She looked up at me, and then smiled back down to the cat. "I'll call it Kirara. That was my cat's name when I was a child."

"Then Kirara it is," I said, reaching my hand over to pet the little furry head.

Kirara purred, and cuddled up in Sango's arms.

"She's so cute, Miroku." Sango whispered softly, as if not to wake Kirara up.

"Yeah, she is."

She looked up at me, her eyes glistening. "It's too bad she's a cat. But I guess you can't handle a human baby, huh?"

I looked back at her, and grinned. "Sango, I want you to have my children."

She giggled, and let one arm loose to wrap around my neck. "Of course!"

I laughed and held her back, making sure not to squish Kirara, who was now asleep in Sango's arms.

Inuyasha came rushing out of the hospital, screaming at me as I ran from the parking lot to join him. Other people around us were looking at us, but as soon as they heard what Inuyasha was screaming, they nodded and watched us run inside.

"What's going on?" I asked, running down, and crashing into him in the middle of the parking lot. A car was behind us, honking its horn and the driver stuck his head out to scream at us.

"They are both in labor," Inuyasha said, grabbing my arm to lead me out of the street.

"Do we know which one's which?"

"Boy for me, girl for you."

I froze, my heart racing. "I'm going to have a girl?"

Inuyasha nodded and reached back, grabbing my arm. "Yes! You're a daddy! So am I! Now, let's GO!"

He led me through the hospital, screaming to people to get out of the way. I felt horrible, apologizing as we pushed our way through. We turned down a corner, almost ran over an old lady and gave her a heart attack, and we crashed into a room, the door slamming against the wall.

"SSH!" Kagome and Sango hissed at us from their beds.

I saw Sango in the back of the room, sitting on the bed, holding a little bundle in her arms. She was smiling at me, and I slowly walked towards her, finding it more difficult to breathe with each step. Inuyasha looked the same as I as he walked towards Kagome.

"Is that...?" I whispered as I made my way to the chair next to her bed.

She nodded, "Yep. This is our baby girl, Miroku." She turned the baby over and I saw that little face. Her eyes were closed as she slept – well, duh! – and she had her thumb in her mouth. I gazed at her, in a loss of words. I reached my hand and gently rubbed her soft head. She felt so warm, so smooth, so soft. I laughed lightly, and looked up at Sango. She was looking back at me and smiled.

"Have you decided on a name?" She asked me.

I hesitated, afraid she would hate the name I had picked out for our daughter. We had decided to wait till birth to decide a name. Sango would pick the name if it was a boy, and I would pick a name if it was a girl. I smiled and rubbed my daughter's head again. "What about Mika?"

"Mika..." Sango repeated softly, gazing down at the little girl in her arms. "I love it."

I smiled and reached for Sango's hand, giving it a reassurance squeeze. She squeezed back, and I felt my heart soar as I looked down at my little girl... Mika.
