Okay, it's the end of the story and I don't know whether to cry or dance…First of all I would like to give a final thank you to my friends, who gave ideas.
Second of all I would like to give a heart felt thank you too all of my reviewers. Ask anybody, you guys made my day. Special thank you to RoseFire-Shadow666, who has been reviewing my chapters since Chapter 2, even when nobody else did. And to Jingenji for that last review, I laughed and even sent it to my best friend Kristen.
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or Inuyasha just the characters Kai, Auzrieal, Leeoyasha, Maruhi, Yoimaru, and Furnico along with my awesome friends Kristen, Jessica, and Emily! Thought I'd do it one last time. .
Okay on to the end…
Epilogue
Hiei's hand was swatted away as he tried to take some of the pasta again. "Wait until dinner, or else there's gonna be no food for the rest of us." Maruhi said, one hand on her hip and the other wielding a stirring spoon.
Hiei grinned. "Not possible; I've seen less food prepared for armies. Who all is coming anyway?"
Maruhi rolled her eyes towards the ceiling and started counting. "Well, there Auzrieal, Inuyasha, their group of monsters, Kai and Kurama, Yoimaru and Sesshoumaru, Yusuke and Keiko, Kuwabara and Yukina," Hiei snarled. "And Leeoyasha…"
"Sorry I can't stay for dinner; I have a date with Koenma." Leeoyasha said, entering the kitchen. "It smells really good though! Save me a plate." Leeoyasha was wearing a purple dress, her famous green go-go boots, and orange bangles covered her arms.
"I swear you could get away with wearing Christmas decorations." Maruhi declared, looking her friend up and down. Leeoyasha started to laugh. "I have, remember last year!"
Hiei looked at Maruhi, who was grinning at the memory. "Oh yea, you wore that green dress with the Christmas tree lights strung around you. You literally 'lit up' the party."
Leeoyasha threw her head back and laughed, her hand crafted curls bouncing over out of her ponytail.
"Why are you going out with 'him' again anyway? Doesn't he know that you're only dating him for the money?" Kai asked grumpily, jumping up to sit on the counter.
"Yeah, he knows but dates me anyway. Besides, he's actually kinda swee…" "Don't finish that sentence, I haven't had dinner yet." Maruhi said, holding up a hand.
Leeoyasha left, but not before dropping off her latest addition to her comic, "The Hunt" on the counter, Kai pouncing to read it. Maruhi was faster and held it away from her.
"Maruhi, I wanna read it first." Kai said, acting like a two year old on purpose.
"First let me see it." Maruhi said, smile lighting up her face.
"You've already seen a bazillion times!" Kai whined, but a smile was also on her face as she made for a half trying grab for the comic.
"Just once more." Maruhi said, smiling so big that Kai could see her fangs. Kai sighed in mock defeat and handed over the hand.
Maruhi giggled as she looked at the ring on Kai's finger; cut just like her own. It had a silver band, a square diamond surrounded by two smaller, but not much smaller, emeralds. "6 more months, and Kurama becomes Mister Kai, Lord of the Northern Lands. Are ya nervous yet?" she asked the red head as he entered the kitchen.
"Not at all." He grinned as he lifted Kai and placed her back on the floor as if she were a child. She grinned at him.
"I still say mine looks better though." Maruhi taunted. Her ring had rubies instead of emeralds. Kai hadn't the chance to respond before Auzrieal entered.
"Damn, it smells good in here!" she called. She had the new baby on her hip and looked in the fridge, pulling out the bottle Maruhi had mixed for the infant earlier.
"Auz, how many kids do you have now?" Hiei asked. Auzrieal actually had to think for a moment. "19, with this one. Oh yeah, and another one is on the way." She added, affectionately rubbing her belly. Being part spirit beast, she didn't show when pregnant.
"That'll be 20, good solid number. Why don't you stop there?" Hiei said, earning a mock glare from Auzrieal.
"Where are the other brats-I mean darling children." Maruhi said, her usual fake innocent face, but it couldn't stop a wicked grin.
"Outside. Sesshoumaru and Shamii are helping Inuyasha carry them…or better yet herd them in here."
"It's another hour until dinners ready. I had to make more pasta because this dansei kept eating it all." Maruhi dramatically pointed an accusing finger at Hiei.
"I'm so sorry…I just can't help myself!" he cried out, playing along, putting his head in his hands.
Maruhi threw her head back and laughed. "Maruhi, if I may ask a question?" Kurama was as polite know as he had ever been, despite knowing her for a year and now being engaged to her best friend.
Maruhi didn't reply to him, but rather turned her body half way to Auzrieal while sizing Kurama up.
"Let's see. Polite, well dressed, smart, handsome, and genuinely nice. Why didn't I fall for him again?" she asked the assassin next to her.
"Because he's a mama's boy." Auzrieal answered simply; Maruhi nodded her head in understanding.
"He is not!" Kai yelled defensively, but turned around and looked Kurama up and down. "Okay, maybe he is, but just a little bit and I think it's cute!" Kai said, talking with her hands like she did when she was expressing any point. "Besides, wasn't it you who told me that if a guy treated his mother well, he'd treat his girlfriend well too?"
Maruhi nodded. "Aye, she's got me there. Still, that just ruins it for me. I like the bad boys." She said, slipping her arms around Hiei's waist and giving him a suggestive grin.
Maruhi remembered how the conversation had started and turned to reface Kurama. "Your question, doll face."
"How would you describe your friends' appearances?" You all differ so greatly."
Maruhi grinned. "That's an easy one. Kai is pretty in a girl next door, classical manner. Leeoyasha is pretty in a glamorous style. And Auzrieal is pretty in an I'm-gonna-kick-your-ass way." Auzrieal grinned and glared at the same time.
"What about Yoimaru?" Kai asked. "She's pretty in an innocent fashion." Maruhi replied without hesitation.
"And yourself?" Hiei asked from behind her. Maruhi looked thoughtful. "To be honest, I've never really thought I was that pretty to begin with." Hiei scoffed at her, and then followed her when she went upstairs. She was going to change, but Hiei had other plans.
He wrapped his arms around her small waist and whispered in her ear just outside of the door in the hallway. "I know what kind of pretty you are." Maruhi tilted her head to look up at him.
"Hm?"
He pulled her hair away and kissed her just below her ear. "The Legendary Kind." Maruhi laughed in a low tone. She turned to face him and swung her arms around his neck. Just as she was leaning in to kiss him, Auzrieal yelled up the stairs.
"Maruhi! The trackers just picked up on Furnico's energy! She's up to her old tricks again!"
"Damn her straight to Hell!" Maruhi cursed, her British accent coming out like it did when she was angry, another trait from her late mother.
"How long till we absolutely have to go!" Maruhi yelled back down the stairs, hating Furnico for ruining her perfect moment.
"Fifteen minutes!" came the respond. "Or not." Maruhi thought.
"More than enough time…" she whispered to Hiei, pushing him into the bedroom, then closing and locking the door…
Now it's the end!
It's my story; ya'll should've known he was going to pick Maruhi. Look out for another story of mine, different scenarios. Until next time. Once again, thanks to everybody who reviewed! Ya'll are the greatest and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
