Authors Notes: Okay, because a few people wanted a chappy about what happened to Sango and Miroku, I'll put a chapter in there.(You want to know why? Because it's really hard to deny my reviewers anything.) It's a side note kind of, and the epilogue will be up later this week I guess. Sorry guys, it took me a couple of hours to write this and all. Even though it is short, it kind of wracked my brains because I've burnt myself out on this story. But yeah, enough babbling.

By the way, soz for the confusion about which time Kagome's in. She is in her era. I'm sorry, the bit about Sango and Miroku fighting over who got to hg her, those were Shippou's children. (I should have chosen better names I'm sorry).

And I know this chapter is short, but as I've admitted, I kinda burned myself out on the story. It's taken a lot of my brain and everything lol, and now I'm working on another one as well that demands a lot of attention. But yeah, once again I guess the epilogue is delayed lol.

And over 500 reveiws! Ahh, awesomness. I remember when I hit my first hundred I was ecstatic. Now…Wow lol. I never thought I'd come this far. Thank you guys so much.

Disclaimer: I dun own anything!

Bad Day

Chapter 32-Deleted Scenes

Sango looked at the unsmiling Sesshoumaru. His eyes seemed so…Hard. As if Kagome had never touched his heart. All around them lay the remains of youkai, mainly ash from where Kagome had purified them in tat final blast of energy.

"She's gone," Miroku said.

A single solitary tear escaped Sesshoumaru's eye. He didn't acknowledge it, merely turned away from the others. No one had seen him so weak before, besides Kagome. And he wasn't going to change it now.

"He's gone too," Sango sighed.

"It seems so surreal. I had always imagined that-" Miroku began, but stopped himself. He had been about to say he had always imagined Inu Yasha staying here for the sake of Kagome. But no more. Not since Kagome mated to Sesshoumaru.

"Kohaku!" Sango cried out when she finally came out of her daze. She ran over to the young boy. The shard was gone from his back. How?

"Naraku must have taken it and kept him alive somehow," Naraku said.

But now that Naraku was gone…Kohaku was dead.

"NO!" Sango screamed, tears flowing from her eyes. She hugged the young boy tightly to her chest.

Tenseiga began to hum in its sheath. Sesshoumaru looked at it in question.

"Put him down," He commanded. The taijiya looked at him angrily, holding the boy even closer to her.

"Sango, do as he said," Miroku said as he pulled Sango away.

Confused and sobbing, Sango set Kohaku on the ground in front of her, tears hitting his face.

"Move."

Miroku pulled Sango a foot away and Sesshoumaru drew Tenseiga from it's sheath. It began to hum even louder and he focused his energy. The demons were surrounding him, trying to take his soul. Sesshoumaru cut them down. A soft blue light glowed around Kohaku and his chest began to rise and fall again.

"Aneue?" He asked, his eyes cloudy and confused.

"Kohaku!" She said, her tears still flowing, but now she cried for joy.

She had her little brother back.

Sesshoumaru walked over to the place where his brother had disappeared and picked up the only sign left of the hanyou.

Tetsusaiga.

Now the barrier didn't repel him. In fact, it seemed lifeless, save for the steady pulse Sesshoumaru could feel deep within it. It hadn't lost it's spirit. It was only asleep, as if in some sort of coma.

"What now?" Kouga asked.

Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. Sango and Miroku rebuilt her village and had many children. People flocked to the village, now a symbol of the peace between youkai and humans. Kohaku even married.

Shippou chose to stay with Sesshoumaru, who ended up training the boy in the arts of fighting. Eventually Shippou began to show an interest in sculpture, and even carved a statue for three shoguns. Eventually he married Rin and had a child by her, a hanyou he named Inu Yasha. Rin died, but she was a human after all. He mourned her loss and eventually took another wife, who died during the birth of the twins Miroku and Sango.

Kouga mated to Ayame, and they often visited Shippou and Sesshoumaru over the years. Kouga even agreed to help keep suspicion away form themselves by rotating who played owner of which museum around the country.

Onryou owned a dojo and from time to time played museum curator to help pass the years. Lin stayed Sesshoumaru's ward. She was relatively young for a youkai, and looked after Shippou's children.

Sesshoumaru opened several museums dedicated to the era he had felt most alive in. Eventually he took up writing text books since museums became boring after a time. He even dabbled in the antiques trade with the help if Shippou's son, Inu Yasha. After five hundred years he began to write a series of novels based on his and Kagome's adventures. And over time, he even missed his brother's loud presence. Sometimes he wondered if it would help pass the years, and if he could change anything.

One day, he was writing his latest novel when suddenly he heard Shippou and someone talking. The door opened and he tried his best to act calm. After all, Kaede and Kentetsu had both told him he must not reveal himself prematurely.

But he was so happy to see his mate after five hundred years of waiting. And torn because he couldn't have her yet. He couldn't touch her, couldn't kiss her. Not until she knew the past they shared.

Authors End Notes: There is still the epilogue where everything is finished, tied up, corny 'The End' and all ya know lol. Well, that will be up in a couple of days, but a lot of people wanted to know what happened to everyone, so I decided what the heck. It's short, I know it, I'm sorry. But yes, there is still an epilogue! So come back in a couple of days and you will see it!

Again, THIS IS NOT THE EPILOGUE!
