Hey guys, this is just an epilogue, basically. Just felt like wrapping things up. I didn't want to leave it like that. Everyone should check out my one-shot, and take a look-see at my new story that I'll do. I'll probably do a Miroku/Sango story in the future too. Thanks for being so gosh darn nice guys! (aww shucks hahahaha) I really appreciate it, and all the reviews!

tears in eyes

LOVE,

Your authoress, Stephanie.

:Epilogue:

Inuyasha looked back at his childhood home, wondering about all the things that had happened in his life.

'Just five years ago,' He thought to himself, 'Kagome was never mine.'

He took a deep breath before jumping down from the tree, landing on his feet with a smile.

'Home has changed a lot.' He looked around the neighborhood, where old houses had been renovated and new houses squeezed in. 'How could all this happen in just five years? College doesn't take that long.'

He sighed, 'Five years and a degree, and everything's changed.' He looked over at Kagome's house and grinned. 'Maybe not everything, Kagome never changes.'

Pattering up the steps he called into the house, "Hey!" Opening the door like always he ran into Souta, now significantly bigger, hitting a growth spurt about the same time he hit high school.

"Niisan!" He looked down at the boy affectionately, the extra height still not making him near close enough to Inuyasha's height.

"Hey Souta, long time no see." Souta grinned up at him. "You seem to have shrunk some since last year." A scowl replaced the smile, but his eyes never dimmed.

"Nah, that's just you, your eyesight's going in your old age."

"Teenagers!" He scoffed and went to find Kagome, he caught sight of her sitting in her old room staring at her bed, tears in her eyes at past memories.

"It's still the same!" she cried, flinging herself into his arms, "We've been so far away all this time and my room is still the same!" She closed her eyes and fell back on her bed.

"I can see it right now, this was all a dream," she murmured, "And in two minutes you're going to walk in the door with a box of pizza."

Inuyasha smirked and sat down next to her, giving her a kiss.

She frowned, "I swear you do that just to shut me up."

"Fine, I won't do it ever again." He growled, faux-angry.

"No, no, no." she protested, "I never said I didn't like it." With a smile she kissed him back.

"Hey Kagome, want to go get some pizza?"

She smiled softly, still lost in memory lane, "Sure."

He helped her up and gently put her on her feet, holding her hand tightly in his. She stumbled and he caught her again.

"Jeez Kagome, you need to stop putting on the pounds."

She laughed, patting her swollen belly, tucked underneath all those maternity clothes. "Then stop making me pregnant."

"Stop making me make you pregnant."

"I do not!" she protested good-naturedly.

"Yes you do," he smiled down at his wife, and future mother, "like this." And he kissed her again, putting all his love and warmth into the gesture, years and years of devotion coming down into the one simple act of touching.

Inuyasha put his hands on his friends' shoulders, "Calm down Miroku, you just got to keep calm." He coached, looking over for the millionth time at his brand new baby girl, she was gorgeous in every way possible. How could she not be? She did come from Kagome. A soft smile lit his face as he turned back.

"It's okay, just calm down, deeeeep breeeaaaathssss." Miroku started to take his advice (SCARY!) and breathed in deep.

"Okay, okay."

"Deep breaths, you don't want to mess this up."

"Yeah yeah, deep breaths."

"If you mess this up she'll hate you forever and your whole life is ruined."

The nervous boy (he still is one) looked up at him and scowled. "Thanks, old man."

"Anytime." Inuyasha smirked, as Kagome cooed to her baby.

"Daddy's being a jerk to Uncle Miroku, isn't he?" The baby gurgled, making her laugh.

"Yeah, Inuyasha, stop being such a jerk." Miroku retorted half-heartedly.

"Oh you'll do fine, you perv, just as long as you don't start with 'will you bear my children'." Inuyasha glared at the visibly paling boy. "Oh my god, are you serious?"

Miroku sighed and flopped down on the couch beside Kagome. "I can't do this."

"You'll be fine, Miroku, just tell her how you feel." Kagome reassured him, holding up the baby. "It's time for Uncle Miroku to go," she told them both, "Give your godfather a kiss for good luck." Miroku picked up the baby and looked down into her eyes, rocking her gently with the swaying of his body. "You're beautiful, you know that?" He whispered to her, stroking a small cheek, "You're the most beautiful girl in the whole world." She smiled up at him, as if he was her whole world. "One day," he promised her, "I'll have a baby just as beautiful as you." Natsuki yawned widely and continued staring up at him, as he gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Wish me luck little one." Kagome and Inuyasha watched him drive away, knuckled white against the wheel.

Kagome leaned against Inuyasha and he wrapped his arms around his small family, purring contentedly in his chest. Natsuki smiled up at him and he smiled back, watching her fall asleep as if she had not a care in the world. And she didn't.

"Why did you want to bring me here?" Sango asked, stepping through the bushes, the light was fading and it was hard to see where she was going.

"You'll see!" Miroku called over his shoulder, "It's just past here."

Sango mumbled to herself, Miroku had been acting very weird tonight, and if crawling through the underbrush would help her figure it out, so be it.

"Here."

They stepped out, side by side, and Sango gasped, there was the most gorgeous sunset she had ever seen. They were on a cliffside, overlooking the ocean, the sun just sinking below it's surface.

"Why Miroku it's beautiful."

He looked a bit pale and held a finger to her lips. "Just let me say this," he begged, "If I don't say it all now, I won't be able to." She nodded for him to continue.

"Ever since we were kids," he began looking out over the ocean, his eyes tracing the waves, "you were always right there, and I've never known a time when you weren't. The first time I remember seeing you in action was when that boy in pre-k tried to take your shovel. You got time out for the rest of recess, but he never took your shovel again." He laughed under his breath, smiling, "I remember saying to myself, 'That's my kind of girl, she's a fighter.' Of course," he mused, "You fought against me too." He rubbed his cheek wistfully. "From Junior High onwards, I was the sole target of your…inflictions. Well, not sole," he amended, "But main target. I just couldn't keep my hands off of you." He blushed, "Even if you were smacking me, when you hit me, I was the only person you saw, just for a moment, you only had eyes for me. Angry eyes," he admitted ruefully, "but they were just for me." He sighed, "I lived for those eyes." He looked deep into the subject, "You DO have beautiful eyes you know, " he shook his head, "But that's off subject. It took me awhile to work up the guts to ask you out, I never figured out how you could understand me, I was so damn nervous." He chuckled, "Imagine my surprise when you said yes. I guess I wasn't the only one loving those moments before you smacked me." He got a mischievous gleam in his eye and Sango opened her mouth to protest, "Whether you liked it or not," he continued, shushing her once more, "You said yes. These past three years have been amazing." He smiled into the sunset, the light curving around his face and making his eyes sparkle. "I've never been happier in my entire life." His face became unusually sober, "Which is why I have to ask," He got down on one knee, looking up at the only girl he had ever truly loved, "Sango, I love you with all ny heart and I could never imagine life without you," he gave a nervous half-smile, "Will you marry me?"

Sango stood there a moment in shock, Miroku just proposed to her. MIROKU just PROPOSED to HER! Her mind seemed to slow and nearly stop from the surprise, until she realized he was still waiting for an answer, "Yes!" She yelled, making the cliffs echo and flinging herself into his arms, kissing his face, "yes." Miroku just smiled, keeping his hands to himself for once and holding the girl he loved, reaching into his pocket he blanched.

"Uh Sango?"

"Yes."

"I forgot the ring."

She laughed and hugged him again, "You baka." She scolded affectionately. He grinned sheepishly, and kissed her back, "But now I'm your baka."

"Yes," she agreed, "Mine." And the sun continued to set over the ocean, promising a new day tomorrow, and the day after that and the day after that.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome murmured, half-asleep on his shoulder.

"Yeah?"

"How long do you think it'll take Miroku to figure out the ring is on the table?"

Inuyasha laughed and cuddled closer to her, "Until he proposes at least."

She giggled back, "I hope she said yes."

"Of course she did." He grumbled, "She's as dumb as he is."

Kagome raised an eyebrow but let it go.

"Baka."

And for your reading pleasure…..:

"Come on Sesshy it's easy, you just dance." Rin pleaded, tugging on his hand.

"No." He refused once more tugging his hand back.

"You just press the buttons to the song, see?"

"No."

"Please?" She gave him puppy eyes, pouting.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and looked around before stepping onto the dance pad, "Just once okay?"

Rin grinned, and watched as he selected a song and techno blared on the speakers. Sesshomaru twitched a little but then loosened up, getting into the song and dancing his butt off.

"Wow you're wicked good!" Rin cried, "Have you done it before?"

"Just once." Sesshomaru panted, stepping off he machine, "Okay maybe twice. When Inuyasha was asleep."

(HAHAHAHAH FLUFFY PLAYING DDR! CAN YOU PICTURE IT?)

That's all folks, I owe you a million for the reviews, hope you liked the endings! (I love happy endings.)
