Twisted Love

Chapter 48: Twisted Love

"Gonna tell me what's bugging you, or should I pry it out of you?"

"No, you're not going to pry it out of me…and No, I'm not telling you anything"

Serenity rolled her eyes and poked Bryant. After a year in a trauma hospital, the youkai doctors had performed a miracle for Bryant. With counseling, medication, and proper training, he was good and kicking. Hime's magic was still on him and the youkai doctors had taken him in. Bryant was forgiven by Serenity and the Tsuroka family and he was once again with his wife and his son.

Jimmy was twelve years old, looking more and more like his father every day. Serenity and Bryant lived in Kyoto, outside from all that happened in Tokyo. They would go visit once in a while, usually when they had time. Kyoto had become their new home and the three of them were very happy. They lived a house near a small lake and surrounding trees. Bryant would go to the lake every single say and throw a daisy petal on it. Because he still knew what he did to Elizabeth, he would give her a petal from his favorite flower----a daisy---through the lake. Serenity would purify the lake once a month and so letting Bryant's small gifts remain pure.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"What are you doing here?" a dirty blonde haired boy asked as he sat next to Sakura. His clawed hand covered hers and his hazel eyes looked in to her golden ones. Sakura sighed and smiled.

"Nothing, just thinking," she whispered. His youkai elf ears caught the reply. Wrapping his arms around her, Toki pulled her close to him. In an instant, Sakura felt her sanctuary cradle her. She sighed contently and placed her ear against his heart.

"You know, my youkai chose you as my mate," Toki whispered. Sakura smiled.

"I think," she started with a smile. "Your youkai is right."

"Your father would kill me," Toki smiled back at her. Sakura scoffed.

"Hmph, mother would purify him if he tried anything." She laughed softly as the wind toyed with her raven locks. Toki kissed her lips softly as they sat in the park.

After the battle, Sakura would just lay and cry. She would take four hour showers every day and every time InuYasha or Kye would pass the bathroom door, they heard Sakura sobbing. She mumbled about cleaning Hitomi's touch from her skin. When she came out, she had scratches. A scar on her left hip from Hitomi's claws. She tried desperately to rub the stench off her. That's when Toki came in to her life. He helped her, loved her, cared for her, and made her heart feel life again. She had fallen in love with him after two years of being the best of friends. Toki healed her broken spirit and in return, Sakura had given him his heart which he took and gave her his.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Absolutely!" Missaou yelled happily. Kye's ears flattened as she yelled. Kye rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Calm down, Missaou, I asked you to consider being my mate"

"Yes, and that's great!" Missaou giggled. She wrapped her arms around him and smiled. "Cuz I love you!"

Kye blushed and kissed her softly. "Yeah, I love you to"

They were in the backyard of the Tsuroka residence. Missaou had been hurt and InuYasha had taken her to the house. After that, Missaou had stayed with the family. Little by little, Kye and Missaou fell for each other. Kye's youkai chose her as his mate. She gladly accepted for in her eyes, Kye set her free by going in to the castle and she fell in love with the young hanyou.

From the kitchen window, InuYasha held Kagome in his arms. "Looks like both our pups are in love."

"Looks like it," Kagome giggled. "We taught them both lessons and they should know not to rush in to things."

"Oh, uncle Yasha!" Ayame's voice rang through the house.

"Oh no, the bastard is here," InuYasha grouched.

"Baka" Kagome pushed him with a giggle and went to greet their guests.

InuYasha rolled his eyes and looked at Kye and Missaou. A sudden flash of Sakura's face ran through his mind. He was glad me mated Kagome, for if he hadn't who knows who he would've ended up with.

She had given him her friendship, her love, her loyalty, her heart, her soul, and her body. She was his heart, his courage, his strength, and soul.

She was Kagome…his best friend, his mate, his love, and the mother of their pups. InuYasha smiled.

He wouldn't have it any other way…
