Author's Note: Okay, for all of you who thought the last chapter was the end, it wasn't. You'll know when it's the end. I'll let you know :) Enjoy.

Sango remained unconscious for three more days after the battle. Kagome stayed in her room for hours making sure she was making a full recovery. Her wound was healing well, and only a long, white scar would be left from where the gash was. For the first day or two, the scarmay cause her to walk with a limp as she adjusted to it.

While Sango slept, Kurama had accepted to become the king of the land, and Kagome accepted to be his queen. However, she flatly refused to have the wedding or coronation until Sango was well again. Under her direction, the castle was restored. She had more soldiers and guards employed and went around instructing the new maids how to dust properly. Everyone else stayed out of her way since she became snappish if anyone bothered her throughout the day.

She returned home the day before Sango woke up and told her mother about what had happened. Her mother cried joyously at the safe return of her daughter yet said she would be sorry to see her daughter leave her. Sota asked if he could come too. He said living in the Makai would be far more interesting than here. Kagome merely smiled at him and made no reply. She packed all her things that very day. She had so much she was going to bring that she had to make three trips back and forth.

Sango awoke the next day. She blinked twice and then tried to sit up, but painfully had to lay back down. She became aware that she was laying in soft, silk sheets, and her wounds had been healed. She also realised she was not alone in the room.

" You shouldn't get up yet."

She looked to her right. She smiled. " I noticed."

Hiei leaned back his chair. " You'll have to thank Kagome. If it hadn't been for her, you'd have died. You would have if she'd come any later than she did."

She sighed. " But I'm fine now, so that's all that matter's, right?" she looked over at him questioningly.

He didn't answer. He just stared at her. Abruptly, he stood up and walked over to the door.

" Where are you going?" Sango asked quickly.

" Kagome instructed me to inform her when you woke up," he said, turning to face her. " I'll be back once I find her."

" Oh…" Sango said, blushing slightly. He nodded and left.

She looked around the room. It was rather big, fit for a princess in her opinion. There was a beautiful vanity opposite her bed and a long window on either side of her bed, the gold drapes pulled aside to let the sun shine in. The carpet was smooth, she could tell. It was pale mauve, as were her sheets and various other objects around the room. She thought herself stuck in a purple cloud. A lovely mahogany dresser stood by a closet, which was slightly ajar. Sango could see the shine of a jewelled gown within it.

To Sango, it seemed to take ages for Hiei to return, presumably with Kagome. She supposed the castle was very big, so he may be having trouble finding her, but that did not stop her from feeling rather lonely. She vaguely wondered what she might have missed out on while she had been sleeping.

Not long after she thought of this, her golden door handle turned and into her room stepped Hiei, closely followed by Kagome, who looked positively faint with exhaustion.

" Sango!" she cried, hurrying forward, " I thought you'd never wake up!"

Sango smiled. " Surely you didn't think I would die. I mean, from what I hear, you saved my life!"

" Well yes but…still! You were deathly cold, despite the fact you were wrapped all up in Hiei's cloak, which is so warm! And your face was completely white and your lips were completely blue! That wound was so deep! I wasn't sure if you could survive with how much blood you lost from it!"

" Well, thanks to you, I'm very much alive." Since she lacked the strength to stand up and bow, she inclined her head to Kagome.

" It wasn't a problem, really," Kagome said, blushing modestly, " Anything for a friend.Though, I can't pretend I wasn't extremely worried about you. Between Hiei and I looking over you for hours on end, waiting for you to wake up, you were almost never alone."

She laughed. " I feel very special." she said, " You two were both especially worried about me, it seems."

" Oh yes," Kagome nodded, " We were indeed."

" Though its frustrating I can't move," Sango added as an afterthought. " I'd much like to stretch my muscles and wander the palace."

" Well…depending on what the future may hold," Kagome said with a look on as though she knew something Sango didn't, " You might be able to wander it any time you want."

Sango looked at her inquiringly, but she merely shook her head and stood up.

" Well, you seem well enough," Kagome said briskly, " And I am glad you're awake again. But I must go. Everyone will be here later, so I'll be explaining a great many things then. In the meantime, Hiei here can fill you in on everything that's happened the past three day's you've been unconscious."

And without waiting for an answer, she turned and hurried out of the room. Sango blinked twice to register what Kagome had said.

Hiei smirked at her blank look. " Yes, as she says, you've missed out on quite a lot."

" Oh really? Do tell me more."

He leaned back and closed his eyes, smirk still in place. " Like Kagome's engagement to Kurama. She's gonna become the queen."

Sango blinked. Kagome? Engaged? Was he serious? Kagome was going to become a queen? She stared at him as though she had never before seen him. She knew, of course, that Kagome had been in love with Kurama for ages, but this announcement still came as a bit of a shock.

" She's engaged?" Sango asked in an honestly surprised voice, " She's engaged and is going to become a queen? Are you serious?"

His smirk grew, if that were even possible. " Quite serious. After Kagome had tended to your wounds, and you'd been put in this room, we had dinner. Akira was explaining to Kurama about his duties that would come with being king. At the end, when everyone was leaving, he asked Kagome to marry him. They announced it at breakfast the next morning."

Sango stared at him, speechless. " I. Don't. Believe. It. I'm so happy for her, but still, I wasn't expecting this, especially when I just woke up."

He snorted. " Hn. Everyone knew it would happen - that was pretty obvious - but no one expected it quite so soon after Kanzuka was defeated."

" When's their wedding?" Sango asked. She couldn't help asking. " And I suppose they'll need a coronation as well…" she added as an afterthought.

" The weddings will be in three days," he said coolly, " And their coronation two day's later."

" I hope I can walk in three days," Sango muttered.

He stared at her for a moment. " If not, you'll have a hard time walking down the aisle."

" Eh? Am I gonna be her bridesmaid or something?" she asked, assuming that's what he meant. She felt excited just at the thought.

" No…not only that," he told her softly, standing up.

" Then what…" she looked puzzled for a moment. It dawned on her a second later.

" If you can't walkin three day's," he said, looking back at her just as he reached the door, " It'll be hard for you towalk down the aisle to me." He grinned, and then left. Sango stared at the door.

Night fell. Throughout the day, Sango had various visitors. Kagome dropped in at least once every hour, sometimes twice. Kurama came by a few times to see how she was feeling. She got the sense he was glowing with happiness inside and out. Much of the time though, she rested. Sometimes she would wake up, and either Hiei or Kagome would be waiting for her to wake, and other time's, no one would be around.

Later that night, Kagome gathered everyone in Sango's room, as Sango could not move anywhere else to hear what she had to say. Plush chairs were set up on either side of Sango's bed, and Kagome sat in front of them all. She looked a little nervous, though Sango could not see why.

" Everyone," Kagome said, when they were all settled, " I must tell you all something. I wanted to wait until Sango was well again, since it is very important."

She bit her lip. " Yes, Kagome?" Sango said, " Please, continue. Whatever it is, just say it." She smiled reassuringly. " Really Kagome, it can't be anything bad now can it? No matter what, you'll still be you, so don't worry."

Kagome smiled at her. " Yes…you are right. Thank you Sango." She took a deep breath. " Yes…well, Kikyo, if you please?"

Kikyo just appeared there, beside Kagome, right out of thin air. " Yes Kagome, now you must tell. It is time."

She nodded. " Everyone," she said, " Over the last part of this adventure, I have come to discover something new about myself. Something very different, and very magical. I don't know how you'll react, but its something I must tell you, and Kikyo will confirm. I take you have all heard of the Miko of Twilight, haven't you?"

There were a collection of nod's and murmur's of yes.

She took a deep breath. " A new Miko of Twilight, has come," she told them, " And that new Miko of Twilight is me."

" She speaks the truth," Kikyo said, her smooth, clear voice calming the nervous tension that Kagome had created, " She is the Twilight Miko."

Silence. No one really knew what to say.

" As Sango says," Kagome continued, " I'm still me. But…I'm not me as well. I'm very different now. I have heightened abilities and I carry a much greater task now, than just protecting the Sacred Jewel. As the Miko of Twilight, I watch over the land, I keep it safe from the Darkness that would conquer it. I keep the flow of Time flowing smoothly, so each Era that has passed becomes part of the Makai. I have many responsibilities. And my life-span is lengthened to that of my true love. So, I will live as long as Kurama does. Only death by a weapon or a fatal sickness that even I cannot cure could cause me to die sooner."

She stopped talking. A faint bit of pink flowed over her face, as though she was still nervous about their reactions. Presently, Sango spoke.

" Kagome, you need not be worried what we will think. Worry about what you think of yourself and your new role. If you accept your new self, and your new role, then you needn't worry about what anyone else will think. I, myself, think that this is a great new step for you. You can't stay static in one place, one way, all your life. You grow and move on. You become skilled and knowledgeable. It is the way Life goes."

" I agree with Sango," Kurama said, his eyes shinning at Kagome. " You are still you, and no one, least of all me, will think less of you or drastically differently."

She grinned. " Thank you, everyone. I appreciate your support."

Sango was able to walk again in three days, though her side still stung with a slight pain whenever she touched the scar there. Otherwise, she was completely well again. She and Kagome were so excited about their imminent weddings. Since Kagome was to become a higher rank than Sango, the weddings (Akira had insisted) would be separate. Sango's in the early afternoon, and Kagome's near nightfall. The reception for both would be after Kagome's.

Despite the lack of women in the castle during Kanzuka's reign, there was an abundance of gowns to choose from. Kagome and Sango spent the entire morning locked in 'The Gown Room' (as everyone called it since there were hundreds of gowns stored there). Only at Kurama's insistence did they stop for thirty minutes to eat a quick brunch and were again up there, deciding on their gowns.

Their husband's-to-be were not nearly as worried about their looks, so they only spent an hour getting ready before the first wedding. Hiei objected to wearing a suit and argued most of the time with Akira about the proper style. Seeing as Hiei would not give in to wearing the suit and Akira would not allow the traditions to be overlooked, Kurama intervened and forced a compromise. Hiei would wear the suit with his cape and sword. That seemed to work with both of them.

" Oh, you look lovely Sango!" Kagome sighed, as Sango twirled in her gown. " Like a princess!"

Sango blushed. " Nah, I'm not really cut out for the princess thing. But I am glad you like it."

Her gown was white silk and damask with a low, but pretty neckline, edged with pearls. The sleeves clung to her arms delicately, showing them off, and opened to wide wrists that dragged on the floor if she walked with her arms at her sides. They too were laced with pearls. The gown swished lightly when she stepped. It had a small train which was scattered with emeralds. Smaller emeralds helped make the skirt of the gown sparkle with them sewn into ivy winding its way up the skirt, and three quarts of the way to her waist.

Sango's shoes were white silk to match her gown, sewn with pearls. Kagome did her hair so beautifully that she did look like a true princess. It was completely long and only a few purposely stray strands of hair fluttered around her face. Kagome insisted she wear at least a small tiara with a veil trailing off it. The tiara was small (Sango refused to wear any of the larger ones) and sparkled with inlaid diamonds. All the tiara's sparkles with diamonds, though their design's were different. To match her dress, Sango's design was curling ivy leaves. Kagome helped apply some cosmetics to her. When they looked in the mirror, neither one could believe how different she looked! Her emerald earrings went well with her whole person, and her pretty diamond pendant showed off her lovely neck.

" You look so…wonderful!" Kagome sighed, " If I didn't know you so well, I'd insist that wasn't you!"

Sango laughed. " I'll never get used to such a dressy look," she said, smiling, " I prefer my regular everyday clothes, if you want my honest opinion."

Kagome smiled.

" Still," Sango sighed wistfully, " When one is getting married, one must look one's best. I do hope I fit the requirements!" she laughed.

" You do, you do!" Kagome laughed with her. " We must hurry though. It starts in an hour, and I still need to pick out my Maid of Honour dress."

As it turned out, they were about fifteen minutes 'fashionably late'. Kagome wore a pretty, light blue satin dress. Her shoes matched. No jewels sprinkled her gown, though she didn't need any. She wore diamond earrings and a thin, silver chain on her neck. Sango tied the sash for her, with a large, yet pretty, ribbon at the back. Her hair was brushed silky straight and hung loose down her back. Her makeup was simple, but she still sparkled as much as Sango.

" Here," Kagome said, handing Sango's bouquet of flower's to her. " You will carry these down the aisle."

" Thank you, Kagome," Sango said, tears springing into her eyes, " For everything. You are truly the best friend I could ever ask for. You are a true sister to me."

Tears welled in Kagome's eyes. " Yes," she said, embracing Sango, " True sisters." Suddenly, she grinned. " So that DOES make you a princess. I'll be queen, so as my sister, you are a princess!"

Sango laughed. " I suppose it does. I guess I shall just have to accept it."

" But now," Kagome said, " We should go to the Cathedral. You fiancé will worry if you don't show up soon." She grinned mischievously.

" Yes, I suppose you are right," Sango smiled. " Come then. Let us go."

Together, the two sister's walked through the deserted corridor's and into the Cathedral.

I'm ending that there. A few notes. One, about the sister thing. In this story, they consider each other sister's since they know each other so well and love each other like any pair of sister's would.

And about the Makai part. In this story, each passed Era becomes part of the Makai. So that means that now Sango's world, the Sengoku is part of the Makai and she can travel there and back to the castle to visit Kagome whenever she wants. I did this so that she and Kagome wouldn't have to be separated, and nor will any of the other characters. So they can visit whenever they want and all that other stuff. If you don't fully understand what I said, don't worry :) Its not really overly important. Also, this way, Kagome won't have to use the well to see her friends.

Oh, and the servant boy. I just put that in at the end to tie up the end of that part. He has nothing to do with anything. As for how many chapter's are left, I'll have to say…two more probably, chapter's 39 and 40. The story itself will probably end in the next chapter, and then 40 is the last one I'll upload. I'll explain more about 40 next chapter, okay? And no, there will be no sequel to this story, I don't think. Nothing so long at least. Maybe a few one-shots about their life after they're married and whatnot, but nothing adventurous. Tell me what you think about that for a 'sequel'.

Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own either Inuyasha or YuYu Hakusho. If I did, then this story would be an anime.

Reviewer Responses

Kurama's Sweetie: I'm glad you liked it. Its taken so long to write, but I'm really happy with how its turned out too. Oh yes, I'll probably write more Kurama/Kagome stories in the future. Bye for now :)

SunStar Kitsune:Dunno. Probably changed what he saw drastically XP Maybe the boy said he saw them turn into angel's or something XDD I'm only kidding. I don't know what they might have been saying…hmm…I'll have to think about that one:)

cookiiex:Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the fluffiness.

WhiteRose-Kurama: They're gonna get married :bells ring in the background: Oh no! We're gonna be late for the wedding XD Thank you muchly! I'm still actually waiting for the results. They were SUPPOSED to send them out today in the mail, assuming their on schedule, so hopefully I'll get them on Monday or Tuesday…Thanks you too. Happy (belated) Canada Day! And Happy (belated) Fourth of July!

Amin Vanima Mellonea:Yes! Let the fluffiness take over now that Kanzuka is dead. Yep! Queen Kagome…nice ring to it eh? Hmm…I dunno XP I'm sure they'll love her though. She's so likeable, most probably wouldn't be able to hate her. Her family? XD No idea. Maybe I'll put that in for a little 'sequel'. I'd like to answer that question better :) Awww Summer School? My friend has that. It must suck, doing more work all summer u.u Hope it goes by quickly for you. Awesomeness :) Anyway, hope you liked this!

Drachegirl14: Thanks muchly!

Princess Random:Nope :) Not yet. Next chapter will likely be the end though. My 'sequel' to this will be little one-shots about their lives after they're all married and that. How's that sound?

Vanya the Elven Maiden of the Valar:Thank you! I'm glad you liked all the fluffiness! It was fun to write (though I liked writing this one better--EVEN MORE FLUFF XD)

atth99: LoL same. I'm very lazy during the summer. Always sleep in, and I get lazy in my updating (oops :sweat drop:) which is why it took me so long to update. Anyway, hopefully the last bit will be quicker :)

Kill-all-flamers:LoL :) Thanks Loan-chan. I'm quite proud of myself too. I never thought it'd be this long or so well-liked :dabs tear from eye:

Ryu Sneaky Lil' Fox:Nah, not yet. Almost though. Glad you liked it so much though!

The Violent Tomboy:LoL yes. Lots more fluffiness to come too :)

SilverShadowKitsune:Epilogue? Not really…that'll more come in the 'sequel' that I may possibly write, assuming you guys think it's a good idea. Yep, sure will. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this.

pitbull123:Not too much. Next chapter will likely wrap the last of it up, and then forty will be my thank you's and where I'll ask any last question's and stuff you guys have. That will be the very end (assuming it all goes as planned XP).

Sess luva:Yeah, me too :) Seems like so long ago I actually started this story. Yep, if you guys like my idea of a 'sequel' , then it'll show what happens to like…everyone. So, tell me if you think that's a good idea, okay?

shiningsilverkitsune:LoL yes, I will (eventually). I'm kinda still at a writer's block for that one, otherwise I promise I would have updated a while ago. As soon as I get an idea for it, I'll update it.

AzalynAngel:Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

WhyWhatShutup:LoL I wonder that too…maybe we'll find out if I write that 'sequel'. XDD That'd be quite amusing to write about the serving boy.

ohiowriter:Yes, but only a bit. One more chapter for sure, and then a Thank You chapter from me. That's also when I'll answer any last questions. After that, its done.

Evil Toilet Paper:Well…if my idea for a 'sequel' is a good one, then yes. If not, nope XP Most likely, I think I'll writing those one-shot sequel's to show what happened after the story ended. Yes, and MORE FLUFF TO COME XDD Lemon? Nah, I don't write (or read) lemon. I feel sick when I read it, otherwise, I'd try. Maybe get close to it, but not where I'm describing it. But that's about as close to a lemon as I'll go. Sorry T.T

Baka KitsuneBri: LoL yeah, I have that problem too. Most of my friends are girls, but my one guy friends ALWAYS annoys me. Sad thing is, it works, since I'm easily annoyed. And my cousin. He knows the perfect ways to annoy and irritate me, despite the fact we hardly ever get to see each other XP Yeah, the ending of the battle was really hard to write. I kept trying to redo it to make it better, but it was so hard, I finally just settled on what's there. Battle scene's can be so hard x.x Oh yes XD I couldn't help it, I just had to add that servant part in. I thought it'd make a nice little ending for that part.

Pro. Ed: Yes, of course they were out of character. When you write fan fiction, its only natural that the character's will be at least a bit out of character. I know, that's what I said, isn't it? I know it would be considered weak, but her friends KNOW she's stronger than that. But I put it in since it helped to advance the plot.

Kaoru the White kitsune:Thanks :) Not quite, but almost. Hope you enjoyed this!

Assistance in Disguise:True, in the series she is a weakling, I agree there. But she's not a static character. She does evolve and grow, and in my story she needed to be stronger. That's just my style of writing :) Nope, never seen Full Metal Alchemist and unfortunately, I don't actually like Kikyo much at all, alive or dead. I don't hate her, but I don't love her character either. That's just me though.

I know. But it was to advance my plot, so I put that in. Truth be told, I knew it was out of character for her, but it needed to be put in. As for Hiei…you must admit he's a very hard character to write. I do not think anyone (or at least very few people) actually get him as close to his original characterization at all. Cold and distant character's are harder to write than one's like Kagome or Sango. They're bright and happy, not cold and distant like him. That's a challenge I have when it comes to writing fanfics. Cold character's are out of character.

Maybe not, but everyone (or most people) desire some sort of love. I'm someone who likes everyone to have someone to love because everyone deserves it (even anime characters :) Oh I know who's stronger than who. But this was a story that focused more on Kurama so I felt that the light had to shine on him beating the enemy himself, without the help of Yusuke or Hiei or Kuwabara. XP Everyone writes Yoko wrong. Most turn him into a pervert (amusing I must admit). Yes…but like I said, he's a hard character to write anyway. I think that when a character is out of his original character, that's sometimes good. Not drastically so where he's all "I love flowers and bunnies" kinda thing. But when he's a bit out of character, it show's that well, its your writing, and your idea's, and that's what counts the most. Keep the character as close as possible to his original self, but still make sure he's written how you want/and or need him written for the story. That, of course, is just my opinion. Yes, I know I should have T.T I was going to, but I decided against them, since they weren't the main couple. Maybe next time though…

To tell you the truth, I'm very happy you told me all that. I truly am. Usually, people send flames or just say its completely wonderful, but I do like constructive criticism. Though, as you can see, I do tend to argue my points XDDD I have a habit of doing that, just so you know why I did some of the things I did. Yes! Thank you so much for reading the story and telling me how to improve. I really appreciate it.

crimson whispers:No problem. I'm glad you liked the chapter. How was this one?

Inu-chan's luver: LoL thanks. Glad you liked the fluffiness.

Kjinuyasha:LoL liked it, eh? Lots of fluff :) I love writing fluff XD

inukuramaRmine: Yayness! You liked it :) I'm glad. It took a while to write, and I wasn't sure how it would turn out.

sacaku:I'm glad you're enjoying it. Well…if you like the idea for my 'sequel' then, yes, I'll write one :)

kagomente:Thank you! Probably…how many? No idea…I'll think about it in case I write a 'sequel'. Yep, she can since I made the Feudal Era part of the Makai. So, that way, it all works out that she can visit all her friends and stuff whenever she wants.
