My Saviour, the Pirate
Epilogue
Disclaimer: I do not own the InuYasha characters or vampires, but I do own this plot. :D
A/N: WOOT! I just found out I have Microsoft Picture It! on my computer, so now I can color my pictures and customize stuff now instead of using cruddy old Paint! LoL
"And then, using his last ounce of strength, he thrust the stake through the vampire's stomach with all his might, and the vampire was killed. He's a hero, my hero." Sango said to twelve year-old Kohaku as they lay in the grass with Miroku. Also, after Sesshoumaru had died, there was no one left to watch over Rin, so Sango and Miroku adopted her. It had been twelve years since, and Rin was now nineteen; Sango was twenty-four; Miroku at twenty-six; Kohaku at age twelve, a pre-teen.
Miroku proposed to Sango when she was fifteen and he was seventeen. They were married at the chapel where Koharu abandoned Naraku on the altar in the spring. Kagome and her mother attended, of course; she was now fourteen.
"Wow, so there really were vampires??" Kohaku asked excitedly, getting that all-too-familiar glint in his eyes. Sango nodded solemnly and pulled Kohaku into a tight embrace.
"Yes, I didn't believe in them, and neither did Miroku, but once we saw one, we believed. I think we'll almost believe in anything now!" Sango admittedly shyly. Kohaku laughed and agreed also. Miroku ruffled his hair and stood up, and took off running as Kohaku bounded off after him. Sango sighed and fell back onto the grass, extending her arms and stretching her legs.
It was fall now, and she could smell the fresh scent of the leaves, and all the trees had changed colours. It was very pretty, what with all the different shades of reds, oranges, yellows and all. She could hear Kohaku laughing as Miroku had him pinned to the ground, tickling him. Sango smiled and admired the diamond wedding ring on her finger. It sparkled as the sun shone on it, casting different colours everywhere.
The young woman stood up and walked over to the railing and looked out at the harbour. It seemed like it was only yesterday...
"Sango!" she heard someone call her voice. She knew who it was immediately. She turned around and gave a quick hug to nineteen year-old Rin.
"I see to it that you had a nice time with Haru?" she asked and fluffed Rin's hair. The young teenage girl blushed and nodded.
"I like him, San-san, he's nice." She admitted shyly. San-san was her nickname for Sango. She blinked and turned around and waved to a tall, tan boy with sandy-blonde hair with bright blue eyes. It was obviously Haru. He waved back to her and walked off down the street. Rin watched after him for a long time—Sango studied her and smiled as Rin, completely embarrassed, flushed and turned away from the young woman.
"It's alright, Rin, I'm not laughing at you. It's totally normal to like a boy, and I am one to know." She embraced Rin and stroked her hair. "Now you run along and I'll see you soon, back at the house."
Over the years, Sango wanted to rebuild her old home where she lived with her mother and—once long, long ago—her father. As she began to reconstruct it, Miroku helped her and InuYasha. Together, all three of them had re-established her new and improved home. Right away, Miroku and Sango went and had a family. Well...okay, so not yet, but they did adopt Rin and raised Kohaku by themselves.
InuYasha proposed to Kagome shortly afterward, and the two were married in the winter. They've been happily married throughout these years. And so have Sango and Miroku. They had important issues on their minds, by the way...the issues must be discussed before the decision is made and brought out.
As Sango entered her home—Rin watching Kohaku upstairs—she found Miroku sitting with an empty seat left for her. It was time to finally discuss the issues. He patted the area next to him seductively and she pranced over and plopped down on it as it bounced up and down, settling finally. He moved to put his arm over her shoulder and pulled her closer to him, so that her head lay on his chest, listening to his heart beat.
"Miroku...are you—do you—" she whispered unsurely, knowing that Rin had very good ears and so did Kohaku, and she did not want to let her children hear their private conversations not suitable for young children. Although Rin was not a young child.
"—Want to have a baby?" Miroku finished for her, leaving a questioning tone hanging in the air between them. It was so quiet that it was ringing, if that were even possible. Sango nodded solemnly and pressed her lips full on him. He was surprised at first at her sudden outburst but closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around her back, and shoved his tongue against her lips, begging for her mouth to open and their tongues could entangle each other and leave them with a pleasurable sensation.
Sango ran her fingers through his hair continued to pull herself closer to him. Oh Lord, it was so wonderful, this feeling. Sango fell off the couch as she heard Rin choke and dash from the scene. She was completely embarrassed and ashamed to have let her (adopted) daughter see such things like...well...this.
Sango stubbornly crossed her arms and blushed, not speaking all the while.
Miroku, too, did not make a sound.
"Maybe we should let the kid thing wait?" he croaked and Sango stared at him, fiercely nodding her head. "Rin's going to be scarred for life, love." He sighed, mortified.
Sango arose and walked over to the door as the letters came around at this time. She searched through the parchment envelopes, tossing them to the floor, and shrieked as she came to a flowery letter and anxiously opened it in a hurry, her eyes running across in a flurry.
"KAGOME AND INUYASHA ARE HAVING A BABY!" she exclaimed excitedly. "She's having a baby shower this week!"
Miroku, in the other room, was grinning from ear to ear lecherously. He knew someday his friend would finally beat around the bush and love a girl and have a baby.
"I know what you're thinking, Miroku!" Sango growled as she approached him, pointing a finger at him and jabbed it on the tip of his nose. As the grin slipped on his face, Sango burst out laughing and hugged him. "Aw, you know I love you," she pecked him on the cheek and walked up the stairs, her hips swaying back and forth. Miroku stared after her and caressed his cheek lovingly.
As the day came for the baby shower, Sango nervously walked down a hallway, carrying a delicately wrapped pink package complete with a neatly wrapped ribbon. Kagome was now twenty-three years old and ready to have a baby. Sango wanted a child, too, and soon she would get one.
Taking a deep breath, she turned a shiny doorknob and the door swung open.
"SANGO!"
"KAGOME!"
"OH MY GOSH, YOU LOOK GREAT!"
"YOU DO, TOO!"
The two friends embraced tightly, the gift getting mangled in between, and they stepped away as Sango shyly offered the present.
"Thanks, Sango, you're the best!" Kagome grinned at Sango as she opened the gift and squealed in delight. "Oh! You shouldn't have!"
"But I have." Sango remarked tauntingly.
Kagome revealed a pair of two tiny baby shoes with blue and pink lacings. With it was a miniature statue of a mother holding her baby to her chest and it gleamed proudly in the light. Tears streamed from Kagome's eyes and down her cheeks and she kissed Sango on the forehead. "I love you so much, Sango, you're the best friend a girl could ever have!" she cried.
"You're welcome, Kagome, I'm really glad you like it. I thought it'd be perfect for the occasion." Sango replied modestly.
"Yes, it is perfect, isn't it?"
--
"C'mon, Kagome! Push! PUSH!" InuYasha exclaimed.
"I'm pushing, I'm pushing!" Kagome screeched at him.
The doctor nudged him away and picked up the baby and cut the umbilical cord.
Sango smiled at Kagome, who looked a mess. Her hair was flying everywhere and she had circles under her eyes. She embraced Kagome and noticed her gift to the younger woman was sitting on the table beside them. She smiled.
"Congratulations, you two," she chirped and Miroku playfully elbowed InuYasha in the ribs, who blushed.
"C'mon, it's almost here!" a man exclaims excitedly.
"Easy does it, now... Almost... Just a little more..." An exhausted sigh. "It's a boy."
"A beautiful boy." The father added.
The babe was placed in the mother's arms and she embraced him lovingly.
"I love him." Sango whispered and kissed Miroku, then the baby's soft pink head. "He looks just like you..." she paused. "And he has my eyes."
Miroku sighed, exhausted, though not as clearly exhausted as Sango, or the doctor, who was breathing heavily as he sat on a swivel chair.
A door opened and in came Kagome and InuYasha. She held the tiny hand of little Inutaisho, their new son, at age three. He had snowy-white hair just like his father, and the eyes of his mother. He was a hanyou, just like InuYasha, and ran up to Sango's bed, peering at the pair of brown eyes.
"Oh, Sango-chan! I'm so happy for you! Now our boys can grow up together and become best friends!" Kagome chirped and hugged around Sango's neck tenderly.
"Hey, uh, Miroku..." InuYasha started nervously. "Congratulations on your son..." he murmured. Miroku grinned at InuYasha.
"Thanks."
--
A week after Sango giving birth to one week year-old Matsu, Miroku brought her home and the boy. He opened the door and helped Sango, who limped in and was holding the baby tightly in her arms.
"Kohaku!" she exclaimed.
"Rin!" Miroku called.
"I'm home!"
A flurry of feet sounded and Kohaku appeared at the foot of the stairs, and Rin showed up moments after him, although having a more graceful appearance than he. Her eyes lit up as she saw Matsu. She squealed and ran up and stroked his head. He was already growing black fuzz that resembled Miroku's hair. Kohaku hugged Sango's waist and she stroked his head.
"I missed you two. Come. Meet your new brother, Matsu."

Yes, it is finally over. Sad, isn't it? I wanted to make it longer, but I thought that would be a great way how to end the story where she tells Kohaku and Rin to meet Matsu, yes? Plus, I was sort of experiencing writer's block. That's always helpful... Anyways, I hoped everyone enjoyed the epilogue and my story! That's all for now! "My Saviour, the Pirate" is complete!
