Epilogue

Kaede's village was a welcoming sight, but what was really wanted was a day to relax in their rightful bodies. The Inu Yasha crew was laying down on the same spot they had previously been several nights ago, pondering on their dilemma. But it was not quiet.

"Come on Inu Yasha you must've felt something," Shippo pipped from a top of his head. "You were about to marry Kouga."

Inu Yasha picked him off his head and brought him to his face. "And I would appreciate it if you don't ever bring that up." And with that flung him across to Sango's arms on the opposite side of where he was.

"But I do feel sorry for Kouga," Sango said, holding the swirly eyed Shippo.

"Yeah...because we didn't go in the springs together, the ceremony was not true and thus we weren't really married," Kagome said. "I feel sorry for him."

"Feh, that stupid wolf deserved it, taking you away," Inu Yasha growled.

"Inu Yasha," Kagome suddenly said. "Did you look?"

He turned towards her. "What do you mean?"

"Master Inu Yasha!" said a familiar voice. A black dot was then seen on Inu Yasha's neck, becoming bigger by the second. Slapping it away, Myoga was seen swishing back and forth to the ground.

"Myoga, where have you been these past few days?" Inu Yasha asked, everyone else crowding around to see the flea.

He stood up. "I heard there was a pair of powerful soul switching demons around here so I decided to leave and get some information on them before you all had to fight them."

"So in other words you were running again?" Inu Yasha glared.

"Uh..." Myoga cowered and then jumped to refuge inside Kirara's fur.

"Should we tell him?" Sango questioned.

"What for?" Inu Yasha hissed. "He would have run either way."

"Well Inu Yasha, did you look?" Kagome asked again.

"What do you mean?" asked a confused Inu Yasha.

"You know what I mean!"

"Uh-oh," Miroku whispered to Sango. "We better leave. It sounds as if Inu Yasha and Kagome are going to catch up on their arguing."

Sango nodded and placing Shippo next to Kirara left with Miroku. Neither Inu Yasha nor Kagome noticed.

"I don't!" Inu Yasha yelled in frustration.

"When they put on the ceremony dress...did you look?"

Inu Yasha was quickly silenced. Then after a slight pause, "No..."

Kagome gasped. "Liar! You stayed quiet for awhile."

"That was because I was thinking!"

"You don't need to think! It's a simple question!"

"No! The point is I didn't look! I though about it-"

Kagome fired up in anger. Inu Yasha cowered under her rage. He knew what was going to happen.

Kagome took a big breath...

"So, Shippo," Myoga said, popping out of Kirara's fur on top of her head. "Anything new or exciting happened while I was gone?"

Shippo, who was laying down with is eyes closed, open one to look at the flea. In the background, familiar sounds were heard.

"Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!"

Slap!

"Sit!"

Slap!

Shippo closed his eyes again. "Not really."
