A/n: Okay, last chapter you all. I want to thank everyone and I dedicate this story to my first reviewer as always. So thank you rured! This was fun, and I'll be working on my last Inuyasha story before completely moving on to Sakura. Lol. I wouldn't leave you all in agony. Sorry it took me so long, but hey, better late than not at all.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and Co. Nor do I own the songs I used.
Chapter 16Night of Nights.
Iyan waited in the parlor of a house he knew all too well. He'd been over to Kagome's house, but tonight was a bit different. He'd actually gotten his wish. One night with the girl of his dreams.
Amaya had a professional photographer from her studio come and take pictures. The man named Lundy was all too excited, screaming Kagome's praises as she came down the stairs.
Everyone's breath was loss at the sight of the lady of the hour. Amaya hugged her daughter, not being able to stop crying, yelling at Lundy to keep taking pictures. Souta smirked, exchanging some special handshake with his sister, giving her a wink. Kagome laughed. Papi was next to see her, handing her pepper spray. Kagome rolled her eyes but put it in her purse.
Iyan was the last to see her coming around the spiral stairway hall. His voice died and air left his lungs as he gazed upon the vision in front of him. Kagome walked up to him, kissing his cheek. "Thank you." She whispered.
Lundy instructed them on the ways to stand taking memorable pictures. "Okay children, one more for the photo albums!"
Iyan pulled Kagome to him, crushing his mouth to hers. It was supposed to be a mock kiss, but all the pretending ended when Kagome stuck her tongue in his moth, Iyan responding quickly.
Kagome smiled into the kiss. She didn't feel fireworks like with Inuyasha, but the sparks were definitely there. 'He's one hell of a kisser.'
Iyan slowly broke the kiss, blushing significantly. " Holy shit." He breathed. Papi frowned, but everyone else laughed in response.
"Come on, we gotta go. See ya Mr. and Mrs. Talk to ya Souta." Iyan called. Souta nodded. Kagome smirked knowing how close they were. Why hadn't she noticed Iyan before? 'I guess I wasn't really looking before.' What she finally did see, she could get use to.
Outside, the limo was beautifully polished, with white exterior, rims on the wheels, and flashing lights. "You did this for me?" Kagome asked, truly touched. Iyan shrugged. Only the best for the best."
He opened the door and Kagome was surprised to see the band in the car drinking. "You guys!"
As she climbed in, in utter shock, Xavior handed her a glass. "For the lady of the hour." Kagome took the glass, jumping a little as Iyan closed the door and the car limo pulling off.
She took a look around at her childhood friends, making metal memories. Everyone was dressed in their own styles making her a little jealous. "You're beautiful." Her eyes landed clockwise, first at Emi. She almost bust into tears from not having the chance to talk to her.
Emi was gorgeous in green, matching her perfect eyes. Zinan kept his arms around her, complimenting her outfit with all black, and a green hankie in the pocket.
Zinan glanced at Emi who looked a little uneasy. "You okay?" he whispered.
Emi nodded yes. "I've got to tell them sometime." She whispered back. Zinan stubbornly shook his head no. "Not tonight though." Emi agreed silently and turned her attention to the group.
She smiled at Kagome who was just getting settled. . "Thank you darling. The green represents hope. But I think the costume contest goes to Shinju and lover boy over there."
Shinju and Diachi were a sight for sore eyes. Both were wearing old 50s outfits and Diachi in a yellow and black Dick Tracey hat. Shinju lit up the entire limo with her yellow attire.
Miyaku sat on the other side of Xavior with her stripped outfit she'd bought in the store and for the first time she wore make up with cat eye contacts. Her hair was up in twists, looking like she had stepped out of a fashion runway.
"You guys look beautiful! Miyaku, where's Hiten?" Kagome asked, remembering that was her date. Miyaku shrugged. "I told him I'd see him at the dance. We've got a gig." Kagome looked down at the floor.
"Um guys…" She started. Xavior stopped her. "We've got it covered. I talked to Jenny and I'm going to DJ some shit for the first quarter, we'll do the band, and then for the last session, they can dance to crickets for all I give a shit."
"I told Jenny I'd sing." Kagome said softly. Iyan put his arm around her shoulder. "Some dance this is going to be." Shinju raised her glass. "Alright you guys. Here's to what..?"
Xavior shrugged. "Hell, here's to me getting laid tonight." Everyone looked at him skeptically and laughed, but didn't cheer to it."
Iyan poured himself a glass. "Well then what should it be?" He looked around the car. Diachi licked Shinju's fingers. "I dunno, but it doesn't matter." Zinan smirked. "I'm sure it doesn't."
Emi raised her glass along with everyone else. "Well Kagome, this is your night, so you decide." Kagome didn't know what to say. She looked at Miyaku who winked at her.
"Um…okay. Here's to us you guys. Eight legs of a spider." Kagome said softly, remembering their childhood symbol. Everyone had a sad smile on their faces. Clinking the glasses together, they all said cheers.
-----o0o---- the Shrine.
Emi looked somewhat nauseated. Kagome gave her a hug from behind. "You okay?" Emi smiled, leaning her head against Kagome's. "There's something I need to tell you after tonight. So, tomorrow, have everyone meet at the spot on the dot."
Kagome frowned, wondering where she was going with this, but complied. "Sure thing. Come on, let's make this happen."
Emi nodded saying a silent prayer to give her strength.
---
The group stood behind the curtains, everyone ready to shut the place down. Kagome took one glance behind her and looked at the boys. "I love you guys. Very much."
Xavior blew her a hiss, Zinan winked at her, Diachi mouthed 'I love you' back, and Iyan who was closet to her, kissed her hand. The kiss lingered, and she felt butterflies.
Miyaku took the center mike, but before the curtains opened, she gave Kagome a kiss, who in turn kissed Emi, who Kissed Shinju. Shinju started the train again and it ended with Kagome giving Miyaku a kiss on the cheek.
The announcer introduced them, the lights went out, and the curtains came up. Miyaku gave a loud scream and the performance began.
Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was
You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever…..
------o0o----------
Inuyasha sat in the living room, waiting on Kikyou. Her parents were very…entertaining. Her mother was a bigger slut than the daughter. Last time he was here he was forced to feel her new breasts. At the age of thirteen, it was quite an experience.
Kikyou's father was always out on business. Or so they say. So he didn't have to deal with him. But, in place of the father figure was her uncle. Naraku sat across from Inuyasha comfortably watching him.
"So, I hear you're quite the catch." Naraku said pleasantly. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow but didn't respond. 'Is he gay?'
"Cat got your tongue?" Naraku smoothly tried again. Inuyasha sighed. "No. Are we really going to talk?" "Not if you don't want to." "Good."
Silence went by for what seemed like hours at a time. Naraku never took his gaze off Inuyasha. The boy was smart, cunning, and spoiled. 'Like a younger version of myself. The boy may be useful.
"Inuyasha, do you have any plans for your future?" he asked. Inuyasha gave him a blatant look. "No. I haven't. College. Law maybe. Why?"
Naraku gave a sinister smile. "We should talk sometime. But no business tonight. My niece wouldn't take kind to it." "Pardon me, but I don't give a rats ass what your niece takes kind to." Inuyasha scowled.
Naraku chuckled. At that moment, Kikyou came down, wearing an all red firecracker strapless dress. Well, technically it wasn't a dress, but a stretched out scrunchy. Inuyasha inwardly sighed. Yes, she look nice, but he was hoping to be somewhat surprised.
'I guess I have her too much credit.' None the less, he put on a bright seductive smile handing Kikyou a rose. "Ready to go?" he asked. Kikyou nodded and winked at Naraku. "Don't wait up uncle."
Naraku smiled. "Didn't plan on it. I've got a date tonight myself. You kids have fun. Inuyasha." He called out. Inuyasha turned to him. Naraku gave him a wink. Inuyasha eyed him one more time, and then closed the door.
Naraku took a sip of his wine. "Let the games begin."
-----o0o---------Shrine
Sardis, the announcer, smiled at the cheering crowd. "Now, the finale from the group whose been winning our hearts and votes all night! Welcome back to the stage, a sole member of the group, Iyan Dalai!"
The crowd cheered once again chanting Iyan's name. He looked at Kagome who was in the happiest of modes, giving him the thumbs up. "You're going to do great. Just sing what you feel, and take us home."
Iyan gazed at Kagome's beautiful face, becoming quickly lost in her eyes. 'If only you knew.'
Kagome caught him staring at her. Her smile faltered as she leaned in, giving him a small but zealous kiss on the lips. "Sing what you feel." She said again, in a lower voice. Iyan took in a breath and nodded.
The group wished him luck, as the curtains opened.
I finally found the nerve to say
I'm gonna make a change in my life
Starting here today
I surrender all my love,
I never thought I could.
I'm giving all my love away and there's only one reason that I would.
And baby its you….
The way you walk
The way you talk
The you say my name
Yes girl
They way you move me,
The way you sooth me
The way you speak softly through the night.
In the morning the sun rises
And the light in your eyes
I just wanna be there with you babe
I just wanna be yours
From this day forth.
Kagome watched from the side as Iyan poured out his soul to the audience who were in tears. Was he singing to her? Granted her and Iyan had this connection. Something she didn't like to own up to. 'But Inuyasha…'
Zinan frowned from the opposite side of the stage.. He knew the song Iyan was singing was for Kagome ears only, but was turned into their show stopper of the night. He secretly watched Kagome watch Iyan. Was he the only one who saw this picture?
"Don't do it Kagome….don't." he said to himself.
----o0o-----
Sesshomaru waited in the emergency room getting angry, then nauseated, then nervous. Everything was his fault. He had caused his wife so much pain, and in the car she had been screaming at him not to touch her.
It wasn't time for delivery. She was only six months. Or was she? He didn't even know when the baby was due! 'Have I really given her hell by trying to give her everything?' He worked hard so Kagura could have everything and anything she wanted on demand.
Now all his hard work seemed to be in vain. And when Kagura announced she was pregnant, she gave him the honor of naming the baby. He didn't feel like he deserved anything at that point.
Dr. Myouga came out of the emergency hall. "Mr. Mamoru-" Sesshomaru raised a hand. "We've known each other for years. Its Sesshomaru."
Dr. Myouga smiled softly. "Very well. Your wife is in labor. The pain she felt were her contractions that were quickly coming. Congratulations. You're going to be a father sooner than we thought. She wasn't due for another two weeks."
Sesshomaru felt his legs give from under him as he fell into a chair. "I'm going to be a father?" When Kagura had told him, he was in a conference and had missed the shock of it all. Now it was back and he could barely breathe.
-----o0o--------
The group finally made it to the dance, Xavior quickly setting up the equipment with Diachi's help, DJing the first good song of the night. The school cheered. A lot of parents and friends from the neighborhood shops were attending the event, everyone looking like a million dollars.
Kagome danced the night away, with her friends close by. When a slow song came one, Iyan spun her into his arms, making her laugh. "I didn't know you had such good moves on the dance floor."
Iyan lifted a nonchalant shoulder. "Well, I'm practicing for my wedding." Kagome just shook her head. She was having an amazing night. Her head was in the right place, but there was something wrong with the whole situation.
When the song ended, Iyan escorted her to the balcony. "Kagome." "Hmm?" she answered a bit sadly. "He's not in there." Iyan said knowingly.
"Oh I know he's not…" She trailed off. Kagome took her stare upon her shoes and pedicured feet. "I'm sorry Iyan. I really am." She hadn't meant to be such a drag. But Inuyasha was on her mind, and she couldn't let him go.
Iyan sighed. " Its fine. All these years, he was your favorite. When he walked into the room, your eyes would light up like the sky on the forth of July. With me, it was always the occasional glow like a campfire. And for a long time I've held onto that."
Kagome felt her insides tearing apart. "Iyan I'm sor.." "No," he interrupted. "Let me finish." He took a breath. "You know my philosophy on love?" Kagome shook her head no.
"When the soul recognizes the counter point in another, then its true love. but sometimes love isn't fair. So, never mind favorites. You're allowed to have one. I just wanted you to know that you were mine. And I'm blessed because I got my wish." He spoke softly, wiping the tears from her cheek.
"And what was your wish?" Kagome asked through a sea of tears. Iyan smiled vibrantly, his face glowing. "To spend a night with the girl of my dreams."
Kagome didn't know what to say. Nothing she could say would match the gift he had given her. He was letting her go. She glanced back at the ballroom, and then looked back to her shoes.
Iyan lifted her face. Giving her a peck on the lips, he smirked. "Go get him, tiger." Kagome laughed, giving him a big hug. "Thank you." Iyan took in her smell. "Anytime. Now go."
"I'm going." She said, leaving him alone. Iyan sighed. "Good luck." He said more to himself than her.
----o0o------
Inuyasha watched Kagome and her date from the Shadows of the ballroom. Was she in love with that kid! How could she toss aside the feelings he knew she had for him so carelessly?
Kikyou interrupted his thoughts with a screech. "Inuyasha!" she said clearly irritated. "What." He said dully. Kikyou raised an arched brow. "I want a drink." "Then go get you one." He took a last sip of his own before walking out the doors.
Kagome caught Inuyasha walking out of the doors. Before she could follow, Jenny came up from behind. "Kagome? It's time for your songs." She said excitedly. Kagome rolled her eyes and looked toward the French doors again. 'I'll catch up with him later.'
"Very Well." Kagome mumbled gravely to Jenny. She got on the stage, taking the mike from Xavior who kissed her cheek. "Go show 'em." Kagome smiled.
"Remember back on the boogie when cats used to harmonize like Woo Hooo Hoo Hoo.
Yo, yo, my men and my women don't forget about the day….its about a thing. If you feel real good put your hands in the air and lit two shots in the atmosphere!"
Kagome smiled to the huge crowd. Xavoir smirked remembering the old song. Kagome was going to rap this one.
It's been three weeks since you've been looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins
You act like you ain't hear him then gave him a little trim
To begin, how you think you really gon' pretend
Like you wasn't down then you called him again
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even fooling him
If you did it then, then you probably f again
Talking out your neck sayin' you're a Christian
A Muslim sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin
Showing off your ass 'cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hardrock when you're really a gem
Babygirl, respect is just a minimum
Niggas fed up and you still defending them
Now Kagome is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn.
It's silly when girls sell their soul because it's in
Look at where you be in hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans
Come again
Come again, come again, come again, come again
Guys you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend popping yang like you got yen
Let's not pretend, they wanna pack pistol by they waist men
Cristal by the case men, still in they mother's basement
The pretty face, men claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three and four kids men
They facing a court case when the child's support late
Money taking, heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky silent men the punk domestic violence men
The quick to shoot the sn stop acting like boys and be men
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
Come again
Come again, come again, come again, come again
Girls you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
Kagome ended the song with a smile, loving the big applause. Taking a slight bow, she turned to Xavoir and told him to spin a song. She needed to find her counter point.
----o0o-----
Amaya stood in the darkness, waiting on her client. She smiled. "Hi Naraku." Naraku smiled back, just as evilly. "My apologies. I think I'm about a second late."
"Lets get down to business. What do you want with me?" she asked bluntly. Naraku was a little shocked. "Well, since you've asked, I want what every man wants. I just want it more."
Amaya sighed. "If I give it to you, you leave my husband and family alone." Naraku nodded. "You have my word." "Your word doesn't mean shit. I'll draw up a contract tomorrow. I don't ever want to see your face again." She made her decision final and walked off.
Naraku felt liked he'd just given up his soul to the devil. But he was getting what he wanted, so what difference did it make?
----o0o----
Sango smiled. 'So this is love....'
She looked at Miroku, who was drawing lazy circles around her bear chest. Both were sweaty, out of breath and tired. Not to mention a little cold, being on the roof of a building with no clothes on.
Suddenly, Miroku stood up and shouted to the top of his lungs. "I LOVE THIS WOMAN!" Sango pulled him down before anyone saw him and they got in trouble. They had made it to the dance, but didn't exactly do any dancing. "Miroku!" she whispered harshly.
Miroku chuckled. "What happened to not being ready?" he softly panted. Sango shrugged. "I guess I was more ready than I thought I was. So. How was I on my first time?" Miroku smiled.
"I must admit, I've seen a lot of raw talent." That received him a punch in the shoulder. "Ow!" he whined, grabbing his arm. Sango rolled her eyes. Miroku rolled on top of her. "But, you by far are the best. This was my first time."
Sango looked at him with huge eyes. "You're a virgin! I thought you've had sex before!" Miroku nodded. "I have. I've never made love before. Never really took into consideration someone else's pleasures until now."
Sango felt her heart weaken. When he wanted to be, Miroku was a one of kind gentlemen. She pulled him down to her, him burying his head in her shoulder as she hugged him. "I love this man. God I love him, I love him.."
Miroku smiled into her neck, giving it a soft kiss. "Prove it." Sango gave a devil of a smile before rolling over with him on top. "Let me try my riding skills." She said seductively, winning a beautiful smile from her boy friend.
"Well, lets see what you've got." He whispered before he was captured in another mind blowing kiss.
----o0o----
Inuyasha saw in the huge palm tree looking out on the ocean. Not thinking, just listening to the waves. He was tired, and the dance had just begun. Seeing Kagome kiss another guy made him lose his appetite and Kikyou was just annoying the hell out of him.
"Hey stranger." He heard her voice, but dismissed it, believing it was his all in his head.
Kagome threw her shoe at him. Inuyasha growled, but his anger dispersed when he saw who the shoe belonged to. Jumping down in one smooth motion, he landed in front of her, his face expressionless.
Kagome reached for her shoe that was in his hands, but he pulled it away from her. Inuyasha didn't return the smile when she obviously excused his antics for play. "We're very different people Kagome."
She took in the seriousness of what he said. "Yes we are….but not that different….do you know what love is Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked at the beach. " It's a painful, overbearing emotion that can't be controlled." Kagome looked down. "It's the soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another….You're mine."
Inuyasha looked at her for the first time. "I'm sorry I caused you grief. Whatever you're looking for, I'll only shit all over it. I'm stuck in this 'fuck the world' mode, and all this shit we've done to piss each other off…sometimes I feel like all I deserve is hell."
Kagome kissed him. She didn't want no for an answer. She wanted him to love her. Inuyasha deepened the kiss, pulling her tight against him. They stayed that way for seconds that seemed like hours. And sure enough, there were fireworks.
Iyan watched from the balcony and a small smile came from his lips. "You go girl." A tap on his shoulder had gotten his shoulder. He turned to see one of Kikyou's girls. Yuri looked astonishingly beautiful in her egg-shell colored dress instead of all the dark make-up he was accustomed to seeing her in.
Giving the old Dolly Parton look with her hair in a mess of golden and black curls covered by a smooth Sherlock hat. Her dress was soft and inviting, with a complete back out that came down to her ass, almost revealing that she had on no underwear.
"Um..I just wanted to know if you'd like to dance. You know that, that was stupid. I'm going to just go now." She stuttered. Iyan had never seen her so unconfident. Or less snobby. He was intrigued.
"No, stay. Talk with me." He smiled to her. Yuri nervously smiled, taking a seat on the banister of the balcony.
O---o0o—O
Iyan wasn't the only one who saw the declaration of love. Kouga felt something tug at his heart. Ayame had broken up with him, and he couldn't say he hadn't seen it coming. Not that he cared.
His world was slowly beginning to fade into a distant dream. So all he could do now was sit back and watch it go. Drinking down straight vodka, he almost smiled at how ironic the whole situation was.
"Excuse me." A feminine voice called out. Kouga didn't bother to acknowledging her. When she tapped his shoulder, he grabbed her wrist. A little too firmly, because he heard her sharp intake.
"What do you want?" He asked gruffly. The girl walked around, straddling him. "My name is Jewel." Kouga sighed. "Where are you from?"
"Does it matter?" She countered. Kouga shrugged. "I guess not. SO what can I help you with Jewel?" He wasn't in a excited mood. "I'm looking to have fun." "Look, I'm not really in the mood to be your boyfriend. Try again tomorrow."
Jewel smirked. "Please. I just want a little fun. The party inside is cool, but I'm a bit too wild for that." At that, Kouga smiled. "Really now? So what are we into?" "There's a party four miles from here. My friend is throwing it. Let's go. Then we can do whatever you want."
Kouga nodded, liking those terms. "Shit, let's go."
----o0o----
Inuyasha broke this kiss only because his cell phone wouldn't stop ringing. The first five times he didn't even hear it. "WHAT!" he yelled into the phone. Kagome giggled.
"Holy shit!" he answered before hanging up the phone. Kagome looked worried. "What is it?" Inuyasha smirked. "Kagura's in labor. Shit, Shina's probably looking for me. We gotta go."
"We?" Kagome questioned. She wasn't family. Inuyasha pulled her with him. "Hell yeah WE. I'm not leaving you here in that dress." Kagome laughed and ran with Inuyasha to find his little sister.
Shina felt a great loss as she danced with everyone but Shippou. His parents were leaving tonight and he didn't get to take her to the dance. It pissed her off that he wasn't there to see her killer dress that she had picked out just for him.
Her cell phone went off. She answered it without thinking about who she was dancing with. "Hello?"
Are you having fun at the dance? came Shippou's voice.
"Yeah I'm having a ball." Shina said almost bursting into tears.
Yeah I bet. Who are you dancing with?
"I'm dancing with Ronny. And he's magnificent." She lied. At that appointed time, Ronny decided to move his hands lower to her waist. Shina eyed him but didn't say anything.
I'm sorry I couldn't take you to the dance.
"Don't be, I'm having a great time."
Yeah, well that's all I wanted for you anyways.
"Don't you dare Shippou. Don't you act like you're all innocent!" She almost screamed into the phone, barely noticing Ronny's hands getting lower and lower.
I am innocent! Dammit Shina I'm sorry, and tell Ronny that if he lays one finger on your ass, he's a dead man.
Shina gasped, looking around the room, She finally saw Shippou in the corner of the room watching the expression on her face. Shina broke apart from Ronny who didn't look happy.
Without thinking, he grabbed her arm. "I want my dance wench. You came here with me and you're leaving with me." Fear flashed in Shina's eyes, right before the anger. "Let. Me. Go. My brother will have your head."
"As long as I get the goods it's worth it." Ronny laughed, winking at his friends. Shina winced at how hard he was grabbing her. "Let me go!" She said louder. Ronny pulled her back to him, knowing no one heard her over the loud music.
Inuyasha saw his sister struggling with some punk. "Hey!" he yelled, running towards her, pushing the mob of people out the way.
Shippou saw the confrontation from the table and saw Inuyasha out of the corner of his eyes. If Inuyasha got a hold of Ronny, there would be a death. Plus, he was already behind them.
Throwing a right, left then a lower jab, Ronny fell to the floor, cursing to kick Shippou's ass. Shippou started to stomp him when Shina yelled stop. "Don't. It's not worth it." Inuyasha caught up with them, kicking Ronny in the face.
"Thanks Shippou." Shippou smiled. "No need for that. I was going to do it anyways." Inuyasha smirked before looking to Shina. "We gotta go." Shina sighed. "What now?" At that moment, Kagome came up taking Inuyasha's hand.
Shina squealed. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes with a blush. "No time for that shit, we gotta go." Kagome spotted Iyan by Yuri talking. "Iyan!" Hearing his name, he turned to Kagome and smiled, walking over.
"Yes darlin'?" He said smoothly. Inuyasha snarled but didn't bother speaking. "We need your limo." Kagome explained. Iyan sighed. "Fine, but don't get the seats dirty. I've still got my life savings of payments on that and…"
"NO!" Kagome blushed. "We're going to the hospital. Kagura's in labor." Iyan laughed nervously. "Okay, but I wanna tag along. I and Yuri were finna head out anyways." Kagome looked at Yuri with a questionable look. Yuri gave her a look and from that point, they seemed to have a mutual understanding.
Inuyasha led the way outside. "Okay, we gotta go now. Mom and the others are on their way. God I do not like Kagura's parents." Everyone laughed filing into the limo.
----o0o---
Sesshomaru was a wreck. He had taken off his expensive jacket and tie, his hair was sweaty and messy from him scratching it so much, and he looked like a Tupper wear salesmen.
His child couldn't see him like this. Running to the bathroom, he watered his hair and clawed it back. Returning, he spotted his brother and sister with their fan club. "What the hell!"
Inuyasha ran up, looking around. "Mom isn't here yet? Damn." Sesshomaru scowled. "She's in traffic…how did you get here so fast?" "We were in school, if we woulda known the hospital was down the street, NOT A WORD" he said to Kagome who had opened her mouth. "We would have walked."
"Yeah. Well she's in delivery now." Shina came up to her older brother with a smile. "You look like hell bro." Sesshomaru growled. "Not funny."
The group sat in the waiting room, an hour past, then two. No one moved or made a sound. It was sort of nerve wrecking. Iyan sat on the floor with Yuri, who was falling a asleep, Shippou rested his arm on Shina's shoulder who was tiredly drifting in and out of sleepiness. Kagome stood next to Inuyasha leaning against the wall next to Sesshomaru who looked like he was going to cry at any moment.
----o0o----
Miyaku sighed. She hadn't seen Hiten all night. "What a complete waste." Grabbing her purse, she left, not bothering to take the limo. Half way down the block it began to lightly rain.
"Perfect." She felt like crying, and yelling, and mostly dying. She had clearly shocked the entire male population with her obvious curves. Now she felt like a slut in the dress. She didn't like being ogled, and the man she wore the dress for wasn't anywhere to be seen.
Heading around the corner, someone grabbed her hand. "Miyaku." She stopped walking, turning to see Hiten. She didn't smile. Neither did he. "I'm sorry I'm late." Miyaku shook her head.
"Yeah, me too." She snatched her wrist back and continued to walk off. Hiten ran to catch up with her. "Dance with me." He pleaded. Miyaku saw the apology in his eyes. "To what? There's no music." "There doesn't have to be any….I'm sorry."
Miyaku exhaled. She didn't ask where he was because it didn't matter. She didn't care, and he knew that. That's why didn't bother to explain. "One dance." She gave in. Hiten picked her up, spinning her in the rain.
Miyaku's frown disappeared.
---o0o—
Emi rested her head against Zinan's shoulder. "I'm not going to tell them." Zinan looked down at her. "What? They're going to be mad." "But everything's falling into place for them. Did you see how happy Kagome was when she left with Inuyasha?"
Zinan stopped dancing. "Don't you think she'll be a little disappointed that you couldn't tell her?" Emi smiled. "That's why she's not going to know. I'm going to get better, and after I do, I'll tell them. But not now and not a minute before. Okay?"
Zinan smiled. "There's my confident girl." Emi laughed. Tonight was going to be one of those good nights.

Miroku woke up to hear his two-way vibrating. Sango was sleep in his shoulder, so he moved little. He read the text message.
Where the hell have you been all night! My niece is being born as I type. Ttyl-Inu
Miroku smiled. "Congratulations." He passed back out, hugging Sango tightly.

Dr. Myouga finally came out moments later, holding a small bundle of Pink. "Here she is Sesshomaru." The group cheered. Yuri had awakened at the commotion and was around looking at the beautiful baby. Everyone was praising the baby's good looks and making jokes but Iyan. He just smiled from a distance.
Giving the child to her father, Sesshomaru's eyes watered. "What's her name?" he asked
Myouga shrugged. "Kagura said it was the father's choice." Sesshomaru looked at Myouga for a moment, who smiled. "How is she?" "Kagura is doing well. She's resting right now, so enjoy the company." With that, he left.
Inuyasha smiled at his niece. "So what's it gonna be bro?" Sesshomaru never took his eyes off his daughter. "Rin."
Iyan strummed on his guitar, finding a tune that was soft like he intended. He smiled at Yuri and started to sing.
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
Yuri's soft laugh caught Kagome's ear. She turned to the couple who seemed to be in a world of their own. Iyan glanced at Kagome and they stared at each other for a while. Yeah, she smiled, 'He'll always be mines.' Laying her head on Inuyasha, everyone mellowed down to Iyan's soft playing and wonderful voice.
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

A/n: Okay, that was the end. Although most things were answered like the events of the baby and Kagome and Inuyasha's romance, some things are still a mystery where Amya and Naraku are concerned. But that's another story for another time. I'd like to give credit to all the great songs I used. Lauryn Hill- That thing, Chaka Kahn-Aint Nobody, and especially John Mayer-Daughters. Hope everyone's enjoyed this story. My last one is Family Portrait, so read up on that. Look our Sakura fans! Here I come. Thanks for the reviews and I LOVE you guys.
Peace eazy
