A/N: I am trying to upload the chapter correctly but it keeps chopping off the last half of it. I'm sorry, and if you read it before it's fixed, just know I'm working on it. Luv ya!!! Okay I am also just re-posting this chapter because like RenaissanceGRRL said, sango and miroku got lost in the story. So Here you go... the re-postage. :)

"You can't die..." Sango said as a tear ran down her face, "You can't..."

She leaned in and kissed him.

"You can't because I love you."

Miroku hadn't said a word to Sango for the last little while. He simply sat there in astonishment. Sango didn't know what to say. After the kiss and Sango's confession everything had been silent.

Finally, Miroku got the courage to speek.

"You... love me?"

Sango turned red.

"Hai Hoshi-sama."

"But Sango... after all the horrible things I've put you through, and all the other women I-"

"Hoshi-sama.... I know.... it's just..... love isn't finding the perfect person, it's finding the imperfect person perfect. I know it wouldn't be easy, but I'm willing to give it a shot for you. For us. I know I'm being really blunt, and I know you probably don't want anything to do with me now, but, well-"

Miroku cut her off with a kiss. He didn't expect himself to, but he did.

"Sango, I.... I love you too, but.... it's not that simple. Sango, I'm dying. I couldn't just leave you here. You deserve someone who can take care of you for your whole life. I couldn't. That's why I asked all the other women for things, because I knew that I would never see them again, and they would know from the beginning I wouldn't be there. I asked them because there was no bond, no tie to them whatsoever. I wouldn't feel guilty leaving them. Do you understand?"

"Yes. But Hoshi-sama, I'm willing to take that risk. We will defeat Naraku, and even if we don't, I'd rather have spent some time with you, then to have spent my whole life alone. I want a life with you Miroku, even if it isn't that long. And if you do..." she hesitated, "if you did.... die, then I want to be the one who carries on your legacy, your name, your family."

"Sango...." Said Miroku pulling her into his arms, "It would be hard, on the both of us..."

"I know."

"And you would still want to do it?"

"Yes Hoshi-sama."

Miroku kissed Sango gently, then he looked up at her.

"Then, Sango..... would you, be my wife?"

Sango smiled.

"Hai Miroku. I would."

The sun set that night with a more peaceful ending than most of the group had seen in a long time, and they slept as though there were no problems in the world.

The sun was setting slowly across the land. The sky was full of yellow and orange hue's. Inuyasha was walking through the woods with Kagome still in his arms. He was looking for somewhere that they could stay the night since it was getting dark, and he wanted Kagome to have somewhere warm to stay. Inuyasha's wounds were healing nicely, and Kagome had been healed by the Tensiaga. He still couldn't believe that this had all been one of Naraku's schemes. Had he really sunk that low? Why would he want Inuyasha and Kagome dead so badly? Inuyasha continued walking until he found an old abandoned house, it was quite small but good enough for the night. He opened the door quietly because Kagome was sleeping, and walked inside. There were some old beds so he laid her down on one, and covered her with a blanket. He found a lantern and lit it, giving the room a slight glow. He walked back over to Kagome and kissed her head. Her eyes opened. She smiled.

"Inuyasha!"

She flung her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Oh Inuyasha I missed you so much!"

"Kagome," said Inuyasha in his sarcastic hanyou tone, "I was only gone for two days."

Kagome frowned.

"Well I..." she started, but Inuyasha interrupted her.

"But... I missed you too."

Kagome wrapped her arms tighter around his neck and giggled.

Inuyasha gasped. His wounds were not completely healed.

"Kagome.... not so tight."

"Huh? Oh. Sorry Inuyasha."

Inuyasha sat up against the wall, and stretched out his legs. Kagome came over and sat next to him. Inuyasha put his arms around her and pulled her close to him. He took in her scent, her warmth, her touch. He never wanted her out of his sight again. One of his hands slipped down and rested on her abdomen. He noticed that she was starting to show she was pregant. He liked that. He kept his hand where it was, and kissed Kagome's head. He smiled. In a little while, everyone would know that Kagome was carrying his child. Then he frowned. Everyone would know. How would he explain that to the others? They hadn't told anyone. He wouldn't want Kagome staying here, because Naraku might try to hurt her again, but if he mother found out the truth, would she let her stay in her own time? Was she any safer in her own time? Naraku had obviously gotten through the well. His thoughts were interrupted when Kagome's abdomen moved and she gasped.

"Did you feel that Inuyasha? That was the baby kicking! That's the first time anyone but me could have felt anything! Oh Inuyasha!"

The baby kicking? That was his child moving? ..........That was his child moving....

Inuyasha had a goofy grin on his face. Kagome laughed.

Inuyasha continued to be astonished as his baby kept moving and kicking. It never got old to him. He kept feeling that miraculous thing all night until he fell asleep.

Mrs. Higurashi had been out looking for her daughter all night. Kaede had followed behind her all the way. Finally Kaede had enough.

"We must rest Higurashi-sama."

"No we must find my daughter, I won't rest until we find her."

"But if we don't rest up, we won't be of any good to your daughter when we do find her. She will need medical attention, and possibly to be carried. We can't do that if we aren't rested."

Mrs. Higurashi frowned. She was being a bit foolish. And how selfish she had been! She had forgotten Kaede was now an older woman, and that she would need rest sooner than herself.

The sun started to rise by the time Kaede and Mrs. Higurashi reached Mrs. Higurashi's old home. This would be the second time she had been back to it since she came through the well to find her daughter. She opened the door to the dark building and helped the tired Kaede inside. Once inside, she closed the door, and went to turn on the nearby lantern. When she touched it, it was hot, and it had recently burned out. Someone was here. She waited for Kaede to light another one, and then looked around the room. There were two figures sitting next to each other in the corner. The larger of the two had the other one in his arms. Kaede handed Mrs. Higurashi the lantern and went to open the door for more light.

"Mama?" They heard from the smaller one, "Mama is that you?"

"Kagome!" Mrs. Higurashi ran to her daughter, tearing her from Inuyasha's arms. "Oh my Kagome! I have been looking everywhere for you! Come, we'll have Kaede look at your wounds.... and..."

Then Mrs. Higurashi noticed who the other figure was. A very shocked, very confused Inuyasha.

"Kagome! What are you doing alone in my house with this.... this.... hanyou!"

"Mama..."

"I should have known.... did he hurt you?"

This was the second time Inuyasha had been accused of hurting his wife. He had enough.

"What do you mean did I hurt her? How could I hurt her? Kagome is my-"

"Inuyasha couldn't hurt me mom! He-"

At this point Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome, and Inuyasha all started arguing with each other.

Kaede had enough.

"Stop it!"

They all stared at Kaede in silence.

"Now. One person at a time. Mrs. Higurashi, you first, then Kagome, then Inuyasha."

"Why do I have to go last?" Inuyasha asked.

Kaede glared at him.

"Higurashi-sama you go, and notice that Kagome has no wounds."

She looked at her daughter. The bruises were gone, the cuts were gone, and was totally mobile. But how?

"Kagome why did you leave? You weren't safe, you were hurt. You shouldn't have left. Besides it's dangerous out here, especially with this hanyou. I don't want you to come here anymore, and I definately don't want you to hang around him anymore."

"But Mama, you don't understand!"

"No Kagome! It's you who doesn't understand, I don't want you to get hurt."

"Mama, I love Inuyasha! He wouldn't hurt me! Why are you so against him anyway?"

"Because."

"Because isn't an answer."

"Because I don't want him to leave you like your father left me! All hanyou's are the same!"

Kagome gasped....

"My father was part youkai? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to get hurt by his actions too."

"Hurt? Don't you think it hurt to see all the other girl's with father's and never know anything about my own? Don't you tell me about hurt!"

The baby kicked Kagome hard, and she winced from the pain.

"I'm still not used to that." she said quietly.

The baby kicked harder once again, and this time she buckled over, although with a smile. Atleast she knew her baby was healthy.

Inuyasha went to his wife and wrapped his arms around her.

"Are you alright?" he whispered.

She nodded.

Mrs. Higurashi was worried.

"What's wrong? What's going on with Kagome?" she asked, "What's wrong with my daughter?"

"Nothing's wrong with Kagome," said Inuyasha stubbornly, "if you paid any attention you'd know she's perfect."

Kagome giggled.

"Nothing's wrong Mama. Everything is fine."

For the first time, Mrs. Higurashi noticed the size of her daughter's stomach. She finally put two and two together. However, her two and two equalled ten.

"Kagome! Your stomach! He didn't! Tell me he didn't take advantage of you! I should have known what he was doing with you when you came to this era! Why that-"

Inuyasha's face was red, partially with embarrassement, partially with anger.

"I didn't rape your daughter! I couldn't!" He yelled furiously.

"Then why is her stomach the way it is?" She seemed to be challenging him.

Inuyasha looked at her as though she was stupid. His answer was short and sweet.

"Because there's a baby in there!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted.

"Kagome!" Shouted her mother.

"Higurashi-sama!" Said Kaede trying to get her attention, and feeling kind of left out, Inuyasha yelled,

"Kaede!"

There was silence.

"Kagome do you care to explain what's going on?"

"Mama.... umm.... Inuyasha was right.... I am.... pregnant, but it's not what you think. Inuyasha and I are married. He have been for quite some time. I wanted to tell you but you had forbidden it, and well, I was going to tell you.... it's just... well I was scared.... and...."

"So you didn't even have the decency to tell me that I had a grandchild?"

"Mama I...."

Mrs. Higurashi stood and walked out the door. She walked down to the river and sat at the bank.

"Oh Hiroshi, have I really pushed them that far? What have I done wrong? Now they are married.... should I accept that? What should I do? I wish you were here."

There was a noise behind her. She turned.

There was a woman in miko's clothing standing behind her.

"Good morning Higurashi-sama." she said quietly. "It's been a long time hasn't it?"

"K-Kikyo?"

"So you do remember me?"

"Hai. But I thought....."

"I was dead. I know. That's a long story. But why are you here? You aren't supposed to be either. I do have to say I was really surprised when your daughter broke her father's seal."

"Kikyo, you were with him, when he died?"

"Hai. You want to know what happened don't you?"

She nodded.

"Hiroshi was a good man. He helped me and Kaede with many things. When he found the scrolls of prophecy he sealed you out of his world, but not out of his heart. When I was nursing a poor burned man back to health, Hiroshi found out about Naraku, and his plot against me and... the one I loved. He tried to stop Naraku before he could carry out his plan, but he was simply too strong. Hiroshi found his death trying to prevent mine. I have always been endebted to him. Perhaps this is why your daughter was my reincarnation. Perhaps it was my debt to him that did it."

Mrs. Higurashi cried. What a horrible way to go.....

"He did not die in vain, just as I did not. There is a reason for everything, sometimes we just don't know what. Inuyasha and I were never meant to be together, because Inuyasha was meant for your daughter, I could not have him in this life, but finally I got him in the next. Things happen for a reason Higurashi-sama. Things work out. That's all I can tell you."

Mrs. Higurashi looked down and then looked back up. When she did so, Kikyo was gone.

But although she was alone, she heard a voice she hadn't heard in an eternity. It was her husband's voice.

"Let her stay..... they're in love."

Mrs. Higurashi had gotten some kind of answer, and that is all she wanted.

Kagome looked up and he mother walked back into the house.

"I.... I'm sorry Kagome... I ...."

"It's okay mom.... Kaede explained about my dad, I'm sorry too."

"I guess you'll want to stay here.... but I do want to ask one thing of you. I want you to come to our time to see a doctor, and I want you to visit us when you do."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"With your .....husband's permission of course."

Inuyasha smiled.

"Of course Mama."

She smiled.

"Oh, and I want you two to have the house, as my gift to you, I know it needs some work, but I loved it once."

Kagome hugged her mother tightly.

"I love you Mama."

"I love you too Kagome."
