Epilogue
A few days had past since the tragic event of Kija's death. Once again, the demoness was quiet and didn't speak much. Her whole body seemed to ache as she had shed so many tears. Of course, she had not cried as much in front of Sesshoumaru, knowing that he didn't like emotions being showed. But right now, he wasn't around. She stood on a cliff overlooking the town below. Her grey eyes looked beyond the town to the land that seemed to stretch for miles and miles. Her bottom lip quivered as remembered how she would talk with her brother of exploring it all one day. She could feel her heart begin to break again. No longer would she be able to venture off with her brother, but now, she was without any of her family. The only one left that held the mark of her family was her son. She felt another tear fall down her cheek. No words were said as she just stood there, letting the sun try to warm her cold heart.
"Mom...Mom." Tama called out as he ran up to her. The young one stopped as he saw that look on her face again. He knew what she was thinking and frowned some as he stood there. He hated that look and felt the guilt of not being able to keep his uncle alive for her.
She looked down at him and tried to smile. "Yes, my son."
"Um, I wanted to know where you were." he said, looking rather ashamed of being away from her and not being able to handle it.
"I just wanted to have some alone time."
"Oh. Should I leave you then?"
"No, Tama. You can stay." she said, sitting down on the edge of the cliff.
The grey eyed boy sat down next to her and leaned his head against her shoulder. "Mom? Will you ever sing again?" he asked, missing her soothing voice. For ever since that day, his mother no longer sang. She was quiet and sad. It hurt her so much to sing because every time she did, she thought of her lost brother.
"I-I don't know."
"But I miss it and so does Father. We all do." he said, looking up at her for a little bit and then lowering his head against her shoulder again. He let out a sigh as he looked at the horizon.
"How about I sing just this once for you?" she asked, still looking at the land beyond the horizon.
"Really? Of course!" he said, getting excited.
She cleared her throat and decided to sing a song from long ago. It was the song that she used to sing to Kija as a baby. It was one about how things would turn around again. Her voice was sad, and it almost broke Tama's heart to hear how much pain was in the song. He almost told her to stop, but then he looked at her. For once, she looked a peace. It was as if she was singing this to close this chapter in her life. That she was going to move on and live her life the way that Kija wanted her too. He smiled some as she continued to sing. Maybe now, his mother would be happy again.
After she finished, she opened her eyes and shed one last tear. With that, she smiled at her son and then stood up. "Come on, Tama. We should be heading back now." she said, reaching a hand out for him to take. "You know how your father gets if we are gone to long."
Before Tama could answer, another voice was heard that caused his mother to freeze. Her back was turned to the newcomer. Her heart began to beat faster as she stood there. Tama looked up at his mother as he saw her face was that of someone who couldn't believe she had heard what she did. Her eyes were wide, and a hand was over her mouth as she stood there like a statue. Tama blinked, knowing that voice as well. It couldn't be! Could it?
"Now, now. No time for tears. With a sad song like that, you would have thought that someone had died." the voice said.
Nara turned ever so slowly to see the one person that she didn't expect to see. Her eyes widened once again as she couldn't believe who was standing there. Could it really be him? "Brother?" she asked, feeling her tears falling. Her heart seeming to tell her yes, while her mind was telling her not to believe this trickery. But those blue eyes told no lie as she looked at them.
That took Kija off guard as he actually heard her call him brother. It had been years since she had said that. A smile came to his face as he then nodded to let her know that she was right. Finally, she could be happy, and she could know that he was her brother. It was something that he had wanted to say to her such a long time ago. Warmth filled his heart as he knew that he had his sister back. As he reveled in his happiness, he was then tackled by Nara. She squeezed him tightly as she couldn't stop laughing.
"Brother! It's you! It's really you. I remember Kija. I remember everything!" she said, laughing as she looked at him. His bright blue eyes looking back at her. He couldn't help but laugh either to see her state of pure joy. He had missed this side of her. A warm smile came to his face as he watched her.
"Right, I can't breath...Nara." he said, as she loosened her grip on him. She got off of him a few minutes later and let him stand before hugging him again. He looked at Tama and smiled. "Guess you can call me Uncle now, and I won't get to upset." he said, laughing as he picked up his older sister and carried her some ways before putting her down.
Tama laughed and nodded as he watched his mother's eyes light up as she held her brother's hand. "Mom, I don't think he us leaving again." he said, as he skipped past them. His own eyes were happy as now his mother could finally stop being so sad.
Nara looked at Kija and smiled brightly. "I don't care how it happened. I am just happy that it did. I have missed you, brother."
"Well, you can thank Lord Sesshoumaru, when we get back to the castle, sister." he said, walking with her.
"I will!" she said, not knowing why she was, but it didn't matter. He was back, and that was all that mattered. She gasped a few seconds later. "Oh no! Kari!"
Kija winced in pain. "No doubt she will tackle me as well." he said, opening one eye open before the other to see Nara laughing. "I shall be there. Don't worry, I won't let her harm you to much" she said, giggling still.
And so, the two dog demons were reunited at last. To long had those two been away and now they would live together again. Finally, Nara had her family all back together. Things would be fine from now on. Nara's family would live to see another day together and in peace.
End Story...
Welp, there it is. I know that it was shorter then most of my chapters, but there really isn't anything else to write. For those of you who would like to know about how Kija came back to life, think about Sesshoumaru and the Tenseiga. It kills the soul collectors. Therefore, just like Rin, he brought Kija back. I hope that you all have enjoyed it. Please review and I hope to see some of you again when I write another story.
