Chapter 5

A happy ending.

It is April 17th Tetsusaiga had just won the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes. Now he is unbeaten in six starts and he has enough earnings to get into the Kentucky Derby. Once back home and unloaded everything Inuyasha took Kagome out on a date. After eating Inuyasha took Kagome to the park. The moon is full Kagome liked how Inuyasha's silver white hair shined in the moon light. They stopped and looked at the lake.

"Kagome are your parents still alive? And do you have any siblings?" asked Inuyasha looking down at Kagome.

"My father is dead and my mother and brother disowned me." said Kagome looking at the ground.

"Why did they disown you?" asked Inuyasha with a surprised look on his face.

"Because I didn't take over our family shrine." said Kagome sighing.

"Oh that's to bad." said Inuyasha feeling sorry for Kagome.

Then Inuyasha knelt down and started putting a ring on Kagome's ring finger.

"Kagome will you marry me?" asked Inuyasha with a smile.

"Oh Inuyasha of course I'll marry you." said Kagome happily.

They set their wedding date for the first Saturday in May. Which is the same day of the Kentucky Derby. Three days before the derby Inuyasha told everyone to pack enough clothes. Because they won't be back home until after the Belmont Stakes. A friend of Inuyasha's is stayind at the farm to take care of the horses. They loaded Tetsusaiga, Lady Luck, and America's Spirit into the trailer. Then everyone got into the truck and they headed for Churchill Downs. It's the day of Miroku's and Sango's wedding. They are at a church near the track. Kagome is the brides maid, Kohaku is the ring bear, and Inuyasha the best man. One hour later Miroku and Sango were married. The next day Inuyasha and Kagome were married in the winners circle. Later that afternoon Kagome and Tetsusaiga are on the track with nine other colts.

"Number 1 is Galloping Gambler, Number 2 is Diablo, Number 3 is Tetsusaiga, Number 4 is Demon, Number 5 is Hot Shot, Number 6 is Chaos, Number 7 is Wolf Pack, Number 8 is Dragon Lord, Number 9 is Gold Rush, and Number 10 is Deadly Wild." said the announcer.

Inuyasha, Shippo, Kohaku, Miroku, and Sango are standing nervisly near the winners circle.

"And their off in the Kentucky Derby!" yelled the announcer.

Diablo took the lead follwed by Demon, Tetsusaiga, Galloping Gambler, Wolf Pack, Hot Shot, Chaos, Dragon Lord, Gold Rush, and Deadly Wild. One the back stretch Diablo and Demon have the lead. Followed by Tetsusaiga, Galloping Gambler and Wolf Pack, Chaos, Hot Shot, Dragon Lord, Gold Rush, and Deadly Wild. At the turn for home Kagome wanted to try to breat the record that Secretariat set in 1973. And she could tell that Tetsusaiga had alot left in him.

"Ok Tetsusaiga give me all you got!" yelled Kagome.

Tetsusaiga hit two gears and ran by Diablo and Demon like if they were standing still. Chaos, Wolf Pack, and Dragon Lord also passed Diablo and Demon. Now they were trying to keep up with Tetsusaiga with no luck. Tetsusaiga won the Kentucky Derby by four lengths. Followed by Wolf Pack, Dragon Lord, Chaos, Galloping Gambler, Gold Rush, Deadly Wild, Hot Shot, Diablo, and Demon.

"Tetsusaiga has just tied the record of one fifty-nine and two fifths seconds!" yelled the announcer.

The crowd went wild as Inuyasha led Tetsusaiga into the winners circle. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Inuyasha, and Kohaku all had big smiles on their faces. Inuyasha is very proud of Kagome and Tetsusaiga. That night they celebrated the winning of the Kentucky Derby. This is Inuyasha's first Kentucky Derby win. Also that night after everybody else was asleep Inuyasha and Kagome had their own little celebration in an empty stall. The next day they left for Baltimore Maryland for the Preakness Stakes in two weeks. Inuyasha plans on entering America's Spirit in another maiden race. He also plans on entering Lady Luck in a grade three race. The day after they arrived Pimlico Kagome and Sango are working out Lady Luck and America's Spirit. Shippo is jogging Tetsusaiga while the fillies worked out. Inuyasha is going to lightly train Tetsusaiga for a week.

Then put Tetsusaiga back into heavy training until the Preakness Stakes. After all three horses were off the track they got baths. After their baths Tetsusaiga, Lady Luck, and America's Spirit were put into their stalls. It is the day of the Preakness Stakes Kagome is Tetsusaiga's jockey. Sango is Lady Luck's jockey, and Shippo is America's Spirit's jockey. Kohaku exerices rides and jockeys for Inuyasha and other trainers.

"Number 1 is Chaos, Number 2 is Diablo, Number 3 is Wolf Pack, Number 4 is Tetsusaiga, Number 5 is Galloping Gambler, and Number 6 is Dragon Lord." said the announcer.

"Hahahah looks like Tetsusaiga scared away alot of the competiton." said Inuyasha laughing.

"And their off in the Preakness Stakes." said the announcer.

Diablo and Chaos took the lead followed by Wolf Pack, Tetsusaiga, Dragon Lord, and Galloping Gambler. Nothing changed until the back stretch when Wolf Pack joined Diablo and Chaos for the lead. Followed by Tetsusaiga, Dragon Lord, and Galloping Gambler. At the turn for home Kagome got Tetsusaiga going Dragon Lord and Wolf Pack went with him. But Tetsusaiga has more speed than Dragon Lord and Wolf Pack. So Tetsusaiga won by the neck now he's unbeaten in eight starts. And his earnings are over 4 million dollars. Three weeks later Tetsusaiga is at home and not at Belmont Park. Tetsusaiga was stepped on by Dragoon Lord in the Preakness. Unfortuneately Tetsusaiga's injury didn't heal completely before the Belmont Stakes.

The vet said that Tetsusaiga is now lame thanks to his injury. So Inuyasha has retired Tetsusaiga and put him in the stallion part of the mare and stallion barn. For the rest of the year Lady Luck and America's Spirit did great. Now it is August os 2007 Lady Luck won the filly triple crown. It turns out that America's Spirit is better on turf. Tetsusaiga had won horse of the year even though he didn't go to the Belmont Stakes. Now Tetsusaiga has best two-year-old colt and horse of the year as far as awards. Lady Luck has best two-year-old filly on dirt and is nomitated for best three-year-old filly on dirt. America's Spirit is nomitated for best three-year-old filly on turf. She got second for best two-year-old filly on turf.

Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango are twenty-two. Kohaku and Shippo are eighteen. They go on trail rides when the weather is nice. Inuyasha rides Lady Kikyo, Kagome rides Tetsusaiga, Sango rides Lady Luck, Miroku rides America's Spirit. Shippo rides a red chestnut stallion named Fox Fire. Kohaku rides a bay stallion named Mohawk. Shippo and Kohaku are realy good jockeys they did learn from Sango and Kagome. Inuyasha and Miroku are now partners they both own, breed, train, and race the horses on the farm. They have breed Lady Kikyo with Tetsusaiga. Lady Kikyo had rare twins and they both lived. She had a colt and a filly. The colt is the same color as Inuyasha's hair which is silvery white. The filly is dark grey with a heart shaped spot on her face.

Lady Kikyo's sire was Black Hawk and her dam was Black Velvet. Tetsusaiga's sire was Ancient Sword and his dam was Feudal Priestess. Inuyasha told Kgome she could name one of the twins. Kagome named the colt Inuyasha's Pride and Inuyasha named the filly Kagome's Heart. Both Inuyasha's Pride and Kagome's Heart grew up to be great racehorses. They did what their parent's couldn't or didn't do. For example Inuyasha's Pride won the Triple Crown and Tetsusaiga didn't. Kagome's Heart won the Filly Triple Crown Lady Kikyo lost the last Filly Triple Crown race by a nose. But Lady Kikyo did win the first two races of the Filly Triple Crown. Just like Tetsusaiga Inuyasha's Pride is unbeaten. Tetsusaiga was unbeaten in eight starts no horse able to beat him.

Lady Kikyo was a good racehorse too she was only beaten twice. Kohaku and Shippo are dateing. Kohaku is dateing a girl named Rin and Shippo is dateing a girl named Kim. When Inuyasha and Kagome and Miroku and Sango have kids. They will take over the farm when they are old enough. So Pride and Joy Farm will be around for years and generations to come.

The End.
