A/N: Thank you. Gosh I'm so glad that I started this story and that I keep on writing. Sorry for the delay, but I got you the tenth chapter here, so don't complain.
Chapter 10: And So It Ends
The whether became favorable for it, and so it was that Ayame and Sesshomaru's heir was christened outdoors. A boy, just what they had expected The name Sesshomaru insisted must be Inutaisho, his father's name.
"You, my lord, are insane. I bore the child, I name him! Don't you come and tell me my child is to be named like that"
Maybe she was making a big deal, but god, Inutaisho, implied on his son being a dog; that was partially true anyway,. But Ayame would not give in. She had heard so many great names. Those came from Europe, the Queen wanted to name the child in English, and so it would be.
"I give up." He said. The Lord had a son, and he was glad of it, maybe he'd get to name the next one.
"Francis" she said. "What a name!"
"I get to name the godparents" that was all he said for the whole day
Perceise of Germany and Inuyasha's marriage was didn't seem so bad anymore. The night of the consummation had actually raised some interest in the hanyou towards his wife. It was to be exactly four months after the glorious christening of Francis that she would find out of her pregnancy.
It turned out that the God parents picked by Sesshomaru were: Rin and Jaken nonetheless.
Sesshomaru was pleased to see the toad he had left behind with Ah-un and Rin rather aged. But loyalty couldn't be bought and neither could age.
Francis…so hard to pronounce in Japanese was not very used, instead "The Prince" was heard often (except from Ayame, Sesshomaru, Perceise and Inuyasha).
Jaken ironically was knighted by Sesshomaru, like he heard they did in Europe. Sir Jaken the old toad became a part of the royal household along with his companions.
The Marchioness was married just a year ago to Sir Eiji, a rather poor match. She had just borne him eight sons and three girls; she was proposing engagement between her first newborn girl Sachie and Francis the Prince, who was older by less than a month.
Sesshomaru politely refused the offer, and instead offered Rin, as if she were his daughter to marry a German Lord recommended by Perceise. Things turned out well, Inuyasha and his wife produced two girl twins. The names were yet to be come up with. They were born with little red moons on their foreheads like Sesshomaru.
"What's that supposed to mean!" Inuyasha asked
"A blessing I would say." Sesshomaru replied.
Two nights after the birth of the twins Sesshomaru was finally allowed to sleep once again with his wife.
"Happiness back to life!" he exclaimed
Afterwards…
Ayame died eighty years later, leaving Sesshomaru to marry yet twice again; once to a daughter of the Marchioness and then to another. She had borne him twenty-three children, leaving him content. Francis had no children because of his particular inclination to men, but he left the throne for the older one of the younger brothers when he died.
By the time of the Lord of the Western territories' death (two hundred years later) Perceise and Inuyasha were buried in Willoughby manor the Tetsusaiga with them. He never exercised his duty as ambassador. The twins were sent to Germany and brought up as royalty.
Jaken, surprisingly, lived longer than his Lord Sesshomaru but was exiled for the next two years of his life to mourn for the demon he had loved by his tomb until he too gave up on life.
Ill-fortuned Rin died quickly after Ayame.
The Marchioness murdered her husband without remorse because he became old due to his weakness.
Japan's royal houses were dissolved forever and a new dynasty took over. However, Sesshomaru and Ayame were never forgotten, the title "Destiny's Will" was given to their long reign. The story was published under the same title and was remembered for centuries to come.
Proof of the truth of the legend was never found, for the tombs of the Destined were sacked. A sword falling under the description of the Tensusaiga was found in Poland in the year of nineteen eighty-five.
A/N: Thank you for everything. I hope you have liked my story, though the end is a little suddenly disappointing.
I have 209 hits, that's more than enough for a lifetime.
