A/n: Now that Van transformed he's basically Virgil again and he isn't going to be willing to change back and you'll see why.

Chapter 14: Epilogue

Virgil sat there rocking his deceased mate back and forth.
Ariana you and I were suppose to live long happy lives together this time.
In the back ground Silver was bawling her eyes out and Dante's girlfriend was sniffing. He figured Dante spilled to her about Ariana. A familiar aura that was red in color. Virgil didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
You let her die in your own house? he growled out.
My daughter was destined to die Virgil as much as it pains me. Though I was instructed to bring you a gift.
I don't want it if its not Ariana.
I'm sorry Virgil but only your child's life will be spared.
He watched as Aries put a translucent hand through his daughters abdomen. He caught hold of something and pulled it out. Watching in fascination as the kit twitched and began to stretch and squirm. The kit grew magically until it was the size of a normal baby when its born.
Virgil meet your son.
He carefully handed the new born to his father. What are you going to call him?
Aaron, Aaron Sparda.
Virgil held him carefully.
Look Ariana our son, he whispered.
She didn't move.
Now its time to go, Aries insisted.
Everyone headed towards the exit of the temple. Dante threw a hopeful glance over his shoulder. Aries watched them go. He hated to do this daughter and her family but The Fates had a greater plan for her.

Five years later.

Virgil sat in a chair with his feet up staring into the fire. Aaron played with his legos on the floor. He noticed his father's eyes were distanced as if he was thinking hard while staring into the flames.


Are you thinking about Mommy again?
Virgil smiled. At five his son was intelligent and perceptive as his mother once was.Thinking of her now almost made tears come. He had waited for two hundred years for her and now she was gone.
Yes, I miss her very much.
Aaron climbed up into the chair and into his fathers lap. The boy leaned against his father's broad chest as they watched the fire together. Virgil kissed the top of his son's head. It was amazing how much he was turning into his mother. He had Virgil's white hair and her deep forest green eyes. His ears were slightly pointed but only a father would notice that. Sometimes when he gets stressed out he turns into his fox form. When he does that Virgil calms him down easily.

From outside a sopping wet figure watched them from the window. Sad eyes watched the happy family. Bangs were plastered to the forehead. A crimson flame was behind those bangs. The figures clawed hand rested on the glass. Turning away the figure started down the steps.

Virgil felt a strong demonic presence. Setting Aaron to the side he went for the case above the mantle where his kitana rested.
Aaron stay here.

Stay here.
Getting up he went to the door and opened it up. Stepping out he shut the door. The dark figure stopped.
What do you want here demon?
Just watching a happy family.
Virgil started. That voice is sounded familiar but he couldn't place it. I'll leave now I didn't mean to intrude.
You're very polite for a demon.
Virgil took a good look at the demon when the lightning flashed. He decided the demon was female. Her ears were pointed in typical demon style. The demoness hair must of reached past her but if it was let down. Now the black tresses were in a loose braid. When the wind tossed her bangs there was a red flame marking forehead. Her eyes though are what caught his attention most. They were the same forest green that his son and mate had he dared to hope.

I... I'm sorry.
Turning she dashed off into the woods.

Aaron I told you to stay inside.
But Daddy that's a fox I can smell it.
What else do you smell?
Her scent is like yours mixed with rain.

the boy yelled.
That stopped the demoness in her tracks half turning she was tackled backwards into the mud by a baby black fox.
Mama, mama... the boy purred.
I'm sorry kid but I don't...
Cut the crap Ariana...
But I don't know... I was just sent here by Aries. I don't know who I am...


Please stop, I don't know who you are...
Daddy you said she was part God but I only smell full fox demon in her.
I can explain that, a male voice said.
Virgil whipped around to see Aries standing there.
What did you do to her?
It was a joint decision Virgil.
Explain this to me.
In order for Ariana to live something had to be given up. Her mother and I decided that she needed to loose what was keeping her alive for so long. We stripped her godly powers such as Sun Dance and made her full blood kitsune youkai.
Why doesn't she remember?
Just like with you Virgil she just needs time to remember.
The two of them watched as Aaron cuddled his mother. Her animalistic instincts made her cuddle back.
Take care of her Virgil as I know you will, Aries said as he vanished.
Always. Aaron come on let your mother get up.
He was held firmly in place.

She just purred like a cat.
My son, she purred.
Ariana's mind was a bit fuzzy but this kit stirred something within her. A protective instinct, and the man with him a heat pooled in her heart and spread out through her body because of him and she wanted to know why.
she asked quietly.
Do you remember me? he asked hopefully.
I don't remember anything but my instincts are telling me a lot.
Like what?
I need to protect you both.
Come on your wet and cold we need to get inside and warm up.
All right.
He held out his hand to her and she took it.

Months later...

Are you sure about this... Virgil breathed heavily.
Yes, I've been waiting for this a long time...
(I know what you were thinking what was going on. Get your minds out of the gutter. )
Her body slammed into his as they began to spar again. They fought fiercely until Ariana was slammed into a wall with Virgil pinning her against the wall. He was breathing heavily. His instincts were screaming to kiss her even though she didn't remember yet. However she beat him to it. Leaning forward she captured his lips with her own. She pulled back suddenly and yelped in pain as images bombarded her thoughts. Everything was drowned out except for the memories that were flooding her mind. When she finally came to her eyes were alight with happiness.
she purred happily.
Ariana? Are you...
Yes, mate I'm back.
He wrapped her in a tight embrace.
I've missed you, he whispered.
And I you.

Aaron, my son.
Virgil let her go so she could hug her son tightly.
Now we're a complete family, Aaron whispered.
Yes we can, Ariana said as she looked into Virgil's eyes.
He smiled at her and noticed the promise in her eyes and he knew what that meant. In his eyes shined as much promise as hers held. These past months had been hell for him having his mate but then not having her.
Now Mate you understand what I felt when you were reincarnated both times.
We can remedy that later. I promise you that we'll never feel that again.
I know you will.
With that the family became whole again after 205 years of waiting for the true happiness that their love presented.

THE END!
