Chapter 3/ Endnotes:
Kagome and Inu Yasha were free from the world in which their lives had been thrown. Their bodies gone, they were free to experience whatever happened after death. Some grieved, but many didn't care. In a time of war, death was not uncommon. Honor in death was.
Inu Yasha's brother sent the word to their father that the younger son had died. Sesshomaru did not grieve. He seemed to not care. The demon lord passed it off as a noble honorable sacrifice that he didn't know his little brother could make.
The father was heart broken, though he accepted the facts. He knew that letting his son off on his own would lead to something like this.
There were none who could be notified of Kagome's death. She had no parents, and the women she worked with were thankful she was never seen again. It meant more money for them.
At the gravesite, the only one to ever show up was Kouga, the one true Miburo. He would leave flowers, thank her, and leave.
There were many who never heard of their demises because of the low profile kept by demons and inhumanly powered humans. At that time, many demons were hiding under covers in the major groups, such as the vice commander of the Shinsengumi- Hijikata. He was extremely skilled in hiding his heritage, but the demon natures often shine through.
Nearly all demons were eliminated by the dawning of the Meiji era. They were taken out by skilled demon slayers, many of who were disguised as shinobi (ninjas!). Those that remained were slaughtered in the last stand of the samurai, the Satsuma Rebellion.
However, some demons remain, cleverly hidden beneath the guise of humans. It could be a good friend of yours, or that most hated boss. But the demons are still among us.

Ok, I was bored at school and started thinking about the Shinsengumi, probably because I was reading Peace Maker (really good!) But I started thinking, what would it be like if Inu Yasha was in the Shinsengumi. Well, Kouga would really be a wolf of Mibu, of that I'm sure of. And, this fan fiction was born in my mind. It's really spotty, and for that, I apologize bows but I wanted to get the idea out. I haven't seen a Shinsengumi / Inu Yasha fic before (though I haven't looked), so I hope it is new. And, about killing Inu Yasha and Kagome, really wanted to do that. Don't flame me because of it, though. I really don't like either of them, so...yeah.
Thank you for reading if you did. Reviews are nice if you really liked it! Well, Ja ne -
