Ah, a reviewer gave me a COOL idea! I was thinking of using it, but then another idea popped up in my head in a dream. :D Maybe I'll use it in another fanfic of mine! ;)


Chapter 47 – Uneraseable Sin

Sango fidgeted nervously. It was the day of her wedding, and of course, it was natural to be nervous. She stood in the bride's room, with Kagome and Rin. They were frantically making sure that Sango looked perfect. Kohaku was the ring-bearer, and that was enough to make him beam with pride.

Sango's dress was not a kimono, but a dress. It was white, with long tresses behind her. It was sleeveless dress, complete with spaghetti straps. Sango's hair down in long shiny curls and the veil neatly embedded in it. Diamond earrings hung from her ears, along with a pearl necklace around her neck. The dress alone was enough to show her curves. Along the front of the bodice, sequins were sewn neatly in it, along with embroidered designs of sakura blossoms. Sango's face was glowing, her light makeup fair enough. Her bouquet of flowers was gripped tightly in her hands.

"Kagome, I'm nervous," Sango said, feeling as if she would keel over anytime soon. Kagome chuckled.

"Miroku's probably feeling the same way as you," Kagome replied, adjusting the veil so it would cover her face. Rin nodded her head in agreement. Their bridesmaid dresses were the color of a light pink; spaghetti straps and across their chest layers of beads neatly shook with their every movement. Their hair was piled high on top of their head in a neat bun.

"We'd better go stand over by the altar. It's almost time!" Rin said happily, taking Kagome's wrist and leading her out of the room. "Just relax and focus your thoughts on how wonderful your life will be." And with a smile, they both stepped out of the room. Sango nodded and waited for the signal so she would walk down the aisle. A minute later, Souta came in, telling Sango that it's time. Sango nodded boldly and gripped her bouquet firmly and walked forward, striding in the beat of the wedding song. She grinned sweetly as she linked arms with Miroku, ready to take on anything.

Inuyasha put a hand over Kagome's oversized stomach. At eight months pregnant, it was hard for Kagome to move around without falling over.

After Sango's wedding, she and Miroku immediately left for their honeymoon, which lasted three weeks. The two newlyweds had gone off to vacation in Tahiti, which by the way was very fun for them. Inuyasha and Kagome had set up the baby's room, now located where the game room used to be.

Mrs. Higurashi had already sent Kagome and Inuyasha to the hospital, where the doctor took pictures of their baby. Kagome was surprised at what she saw, but she was rather proud, excited, and happy.

"Inuyasha… we still haven't named our baby yet," Kagome said from where she sat. She rubbed her belly, feeling it kick and move around.

"Well, how would I know, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy," Inuyasha replied crossly. Kagome chuckled.

"Well, just think of something," Kagome said back at him. Inuyasha snorted.

"Keh." Kagome giggled. The image of Naraku still wouldn't go away, no matter how much she pushed it away. The Shikon jewel was still hanging around her neck, but she didn't know for how long. Naraku was still out there somewhere, and it was a bit too late to go send a SWAT team or something after him.

"You know Miroku got a job?" Inuyasha spoke, interrupting her thoughts.

"No… really?"

"He's working as one of Sesshomaru's bodyguards." Kagome let out a laugh.

"Why the hell would Sesshomaru want bodyguards…?" Kagome snorted. Inuyasha shrugged.

"It was either that or a babysitter," He replied. Seeing the image of Miroku surrounded by some kind of evil henchmen, carrying a huge gun was out of hand, but seeing him surrounded by little kids… was just plain bizarre.

She waited hesitantly near the fountain, wondering why she had gotten that message on her voicemail. The voice had sounded familiar, and her curiosity only grew. She whirled around to see a familiar face.

"You!" She snarled. "I thought you were dead!"

"Apparently not, seeing as I was the one who almost killed Inuyasha. You were supposed to kill Kagome as well," The figure drawled out, the darkness covering most of his body.

"The girl's powers are growing. Soon she'll be more powerful than you. Whatever pain you conflicted on her, she doesn't easily forget. She'll kill you and leave you to burn in hell. You won't even get a chance to get your hands on the jewel… This time Inuyasha won't hold back. This time, he'll make sure you get killed. They didn't forget what you did to the monk and that demon slayer. They'll kill you, Naraku," She spat out. Naraku chuckled.

"Let them come. They'll find me when they're ready. And for your information, Kikyou, it was you after all who wanted them dead, am I right?" Naraku smiled. "Sure, they did almost kill me, but I stand before you, good as new."

Kikyou scoffed. "You're scarred for life. A blow like that, of course you're not dead. Inuyasha was almost as dead as you were. So why did you spare Kagome's life and not kill her with those arrows?"

"I only did that so that Inuyasha could see her die painfully and slowly, and so that he would be very willing to follow her in death. However, you did not do your part," Naraku said, a serious expression burned in her own.

"I can't bring myself around to kill someone like Kagome, even though my hatred for her still burns deeply in me and my soul. Inuyasha knows he burned a hole in my heart. And that is why I sought you out, so you could kill them both, and the jewel in return. But you failed, because knowing the fact you're a half-breed just like Inuyasha," Kikyou said with a rather nasty grin. Naraku frowned and struck her across the face, sending her flying a few feet away from him. Kikyou let out a laugh; the scar Naraku gave her fading.

"Keep it in your mind that I plan to kill you as well. I am telling you this now, so take it as a warning. Another wrong move and I could hand over your head on a silver platter and leave it to rot on Inuyasha's doorstep," Naraku said coolly, still keeping his serious demeanor. Kikyou scoffed.

"You can't kill me, and the only that that can is the Shikon jewel itself. You alone can't harm me. I'm immortal," Kikyou said in the same tone as his. Naraku let out a laugh.

"Then consider yourself a dead woman. I'll personally see to it that you're dead," Naraku said. He turned around. "They'll come, and until then, I expect you to train to your hardest." Poison miasma surrounded him. He let out a laugh. "You can't run Kikyou. You can't hide either. You can only fight, seeing as you're so called 'immortal'" Naraku said in a sneer. Kikyou clenched her fists in frustration. The smoke disappeared along with Naraku.

"Bastard…" Kikyou said under her breath. She let a small scream. "Naraku you bastard! Why can't you see that you can't hurt me?" She clenched her jaw tightly. Revenge… The word would not go away. She knew that she would have her revenge, soon. All she had to do is wait patiently.

She was aware that Inuyasha and Kagome would get married soon, a few weeks after their baby was born. She could feel the powerful vibes coming from their baby… She, however, was confused about something. How is it that one so small would be so powerful?

In all her hard training, all her life, she could actually tell that the baby would soon grow up one day that would be stronger than her but weaker than its mother. Was Kikyou weak? Or was Kagome simply stronger than her? Kikyou had no idea what sort of school Kagome had attended. Most of all, she couldn't help but wonder…

Was she going to die at Naraku's hands? Or is Kagome the one to finish her off? Either way, she was still going to get killed.

Naraku cursed the miko under his breath. How dare she… insult me like that, will she? He didn't like that fact at all that he would have to wait. A half-breed…

He knew that Inuyasha and Kagome were going to have a baby soon, that Miroku, the monk, had taken a job at Sesshomaru's mansion as a bodyguard. He didn't have any new news about the demon slayer, only that the monk and she had gotten married. Now all he had to do was wait for the miko to give birth. Then, he'd strike.

"Kagura… go give Sesshomaru a visit," Naraku drawled out, catching her off-guard. Kagura nodded and took flight on her feather. He turned his attentions to Kanna. "Keep an eye on her. I sometimes think that Kagura is too smart for her own good." Naraku said with a slight smile as the image of Kagura appeared in Kanna's ghastly mirror.

Kagura flew freely, the wind at her disposal. With her demonic fan gripped tightly in her hand, she speeded toward the great Sesshomaru's house. She perched lightly on top of the roof, sensing him. Moments later, he appeared on the balcony, a stern look upon his face.

"I thought I smelled something nasty," Sesshomaru said coolly. "Did you come here so I could kill you, or did Naraku send you here?" Kagura paid no attention to his greeting and went straight to deliver the message.

"The time is drawing near. This, as of now, is your last, and final warning, Sesshomaru," Kagura replied. She tore a feather from her hair and threw it before her. She jumped on it and left, leaving Sesshomaru to figure out what was going to come. She rode towards from where she had left, her mind swirling.

'Kagome… I hope you kept true to your word.'


&&


Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head. Kagome's screams were enough to get him perked up and ready to kill somebody.

"Ah, don't be so nervous Inuyasha. She's only giving birth," Miroku smiled pleasantly. Sesshomaru sat in the next seat over, calmly sipping his coffee and reading a newspaper. "See? Look, Sesshomaru is doing better than you." Inuyasha scoffed. Rin sat next to him, singing the baby to sleep in her arms. Rin had given birth to a baby boy at least a week ago, naming their child Takumi, meaning 'open sea'. Their baby had inherited Sesshomaru's hair and eyes, but Takumi had also inherited his father's demonic powers. He alone looked like a mini Sesshomaru.

"Shut up monk. I'll laugh at you when you're the one in this nervous state and Sango's the one in the room," Inuyasha said, sending a smack on Miroku's head. "Something's eating at Sesshomaru," Inuyasha said, his voice lowering to a whisper. "Ever since, he's been even crankier." Miroku nodded in agreement.

"When I asked for that raise, he simply ignored me until I went away," Miroku replied. Sesshomaru paid them no attention. The doctor came out of the room, a bright smile on his face.

"Congratulations, you have twins!" The doctor greeted Inuyasha. "A little boy and a girl. You may go in and name them if you want." Inuyasha said his thanks and rushed in the room, smiling at Kagome and the two babies she held in her arms. Sango gently smoothed back their hair.

"They look like you, Inuyasha," Sango greeted him. She gave Kagome another smile and

"Aren't they so precious?" Kagome cooed. Inuyasha took one of the babies in his own arms, cradling its small body.

"This one's name is Tsuki," Inuyasha said gently, the small girl in his arms raising a small fist to grab hold of Inuyasha's hair. Kagome nodded. The small boy she held in her own arms blew a spit bubble.

"Taiyo," She whispered, the spit bubble popping. The small boy gave her a smile. Kagome grinned. They both had their father's hair, as well as his cute furry ears. Taiyo had his mother's eyes, while Tsuki, however, had both the aura of a miko and a demon.

A week passed, and the doctors let Kagome go home with their newborn babies. Inuyasha carefully set the now sleeping Tsuki in her crib, while Kagome did the same with Taiyo. She smiled softly as she gently tucked them in.

"They're like you, so calm and peaceful when sleeping," Kagome said, giving Inuyasha a kiss. He returned the kiss tenfold and smiled back at her.

"And when they wake, they are as loud as you," Inuyasha retorted as he wrapped his arms around her. He lifted her up a few inches off the ground and started walking toward their bedroom. He put her down and flopped down on the bed, taking his usual side. Kagome let out a small chuckle.

"My, my, aren't I lucky?" Kagome said in a murmur, taking her usual place next to him. Inuyasha yawned in reply.

"Go to sleep." He didn't need to tell her twice. Kagome sighed and dozed off, leaving Inuyasha to his thoughts.

He closed his eyes, ready for sleep to take over, unknown to him that evil is occurring somewhere far away…

They both awoke to the sound of Tsuki's cry. Kagome rubbed her eyes and stood up, going to the next room to soothe the baby. She lifted her gently and unbuttoned her pajama shirt and her nursing bra. The little girl found it quickly and latched on, her cries and whimpers decreasing. All was quiet once again.

I thought I'd give you a little sneak peak for my next fanfic here. () Keep in mind that this is just the prologue, and I'll put it again when I post up the first chapter.


At The Beginning - Prologue

With every breath he took, the pain got worse. With every step he took, his heart ached even more. There she lay, all tattered up and beaten, dead and lifeless. Inuyasha… it was hard to believe that he was still alive after his battle with Naraku.

The battle had been fierce, and when you gain something, something of equal value must be lost. When Naraku was killed, that was their gain. They had lost someone that was important to Inuyasha: Kikyou. She and Kagome were the ones that killed Naraku… with help from their friends and allies.

Sango had given her best, in the end; all she could do was watch as her friends battled him. Kohaku lay in her arms, his breath weakening. He was dieing slowly. Miroku lay beside her, unconscious from the blow he took in order to save her life. Miroku was harshly breathing, but that was enough to tell her that he was still alive.

Kouga, getting a revenge that he had so longed for, resulted him in a few cuts and injuries, the Shikon Shards in his legs keeping him barely alive. Kagura taunted at him, then flying away to go fight again in the battle.

This was it. This was the end. The end of this journey and the end of Naraku. After all this pain he caused, all the hurt, it was finally going to end.

With a final blast from Kikyou's arrow, Kagome saw her chance. 'This is for Inuyasha…' Kagome shot her arrow, directly at where Onigumo's heart used to be, the two mikos killing him, Kikyou using her same method she used on Inuyasha. With a final cry, Kikyou fell, her skin peeling away and turned into a pile of broken clay. Dead souls left it, finally given the peace in which they could rest, along with the rest of Kagome's soul. Inuyasha used his Kongousouha and finally, the remains of Naraku slowly faded away.

This was the end of Naraku and Onigumo. Inuyasha looked back at the rest, his fire-rat haori in tatters. There lay his friends, injured and slightly scarred for life. There lay Kikyou's remains in a small pile of cold clay and her ashes. He kneeled down to gather her remains, no tears falling this time. No scream or shout of her name. That's when it came to him that he no longer loved Kikyou…

Kagome grasped the jewel lightly in her hands. Kouga offered her his two shards, and with help from Sango herself, they removed the shard in Kohaku's back, leaving him in a silent death. Sesshomaru walked up and with a swipe of Tenseiga, Kohaku was no longer dead. Just as silent as he came, he left, leaving the rest in confusion and wonder.

Kagome took the half of the jewel she had and the almost completed jewel that Naraku had. She fused the two together, forming a white light. The light faded, and now the jewel was complete, now all she had to do was to protect it. She stood up, not saying another word but "Let's go home."

&& - End of Prologue


How'd ya like that?:) I don't know when I'll post that fic up, but I want to come close to the end of 'So Scandalous' first, and then I'll begin working with 'At The Beginning'.

Does that mean 'So Scandalous' is ending soon? No. I plan to go great lengths with that fic…

How long will 'So Scandalous' be? Not sure yet. Think high numbers or something.

Are you going to finish those other fics you started? Maybe. For now those fics are on a severe Hiatus.

Yup, the plot thickens. I thought it would be nice to bring Naraku and Kagura and them back, and I'm a big fan of Kagura because she likes to kick ass. XD Kikyou's in there as well. Oh, so now we learn that she can't die, huh? Wonder what Inuyasha will do IF he finds Kikyou's head on his doorstep. Not much of a sight for little kids, huh? As you can see, I went through the times a little quickly because Taiyo & Tsuki has a big part. Review!

Taiyo means 'Sun' while Tsuki means 'Moon'. Pretty nifty, huh? :D
