"Yuki? Rei? Kagome called out to her children. Rei jumped on her brother, squeezing him in a huge hug.
"We did it! Oh my God, that was so cool!" she squealed, making her brother and father wish they didn't have super hearing. The root died and fell away from Kagome and Inuyasha and they embraced their children.
"Oh my God I was so scared. Are you both alright? Is anything broken? Sometime fluids rush to the area now do you feel any rushing fluids?"
"Mom stop freaking out! We're fine," said Rei.
"Better than fine, infact-,"
"Pervert!"
The family turned around and looked to where Sango was pushing Miroku off of her. He was sporting a brand new slap mark.
"Dearest Sango, you are mistaken! I just thought we should just celebrate the children's victory!"
"Yeah, right," Sango mumbled and gathered Kirara in her arms. "Let's go you guys!"
"Miss Sango, can I ask you something?" Rei asked the demon exterminator. Inuyasha, Yuki and Miroku were all outside. Kagome, Rei and Sango were inside cleaning the hut Sango lived in.
"Of course Rei, go ahead." Sango was beaming. She obviously adored Rei and Yuki.
"Why didn't you and the monk Miroku ever have children? I mean, it's clear how much you both care for each other."
Kagome grew still as Sango's eyes widened. She expected the question to be asked, but wasn't ready for it. Sango sighed and turned to Rei.
"Well, Miroku and I confessed our love to each other and, in the intensity of it all, all of the feelings we held up until the end of the quest for the jewel shards came out. We had relations. We weren't married. Then we had relations again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And I didn't get pregnant. So we asked Kagome to take us to her time and a doctor checked us out. Apparently Miroku…" Sango began crying and Kagome hugged her friend.
"Miroku had something wrong 'down there'. Something that made him unable to have children." Kagome explained. Sango calmed down.
"So why not just get married?" Rei asked.
"Rei, in this era if a couple doesn't have children, superstitions arise. A woman that cannot bare her husbands children would be thought of as cursed or something. Even thought technically it is Miroku that can't have children; it would be looked at in this era as Sango's fault. She would be ridiculed."
"Miroku didn't want to put me through that so we never got married. Though we have, uh…"
"They've screwed each other a couple of times and treat each other like a married couple would?" Rei finished for Sango, causing her to blush.
"Rei!"
