Finallle- Fun times and New Beginnings

They walked back to the village together, laughing a bit more than usual at Kagome's over animated version of what had transpired.

"Then, he took out a knife! And, and, and, I said, I said… 'No way buddy. You'll have to go through my fists of steel first! And I bopped him!" This had the poor inu hanyou holding his stomache for dear life. He was laughing much too hard. He begged her to stop talking for at least two seconds to regain his composure.

"Your gonna make me pee myself. And this is no where near my territory." Which caused Kagome to fall in a fit of laughter. Laughing, they met on the soft green grass lying flat on their backs, hands behind their head for comfort, looking into the heavens.

"Your ridiculous." She gave a toothy grin to the sky. "Your ridiculous…" she repeated. Her eyes adverted themselves from the sky to his face. "I love this." She watched the air catch up in his chest…he had stopped breathing. Then he started again as a complex look fell on his face. He rolled over to his side, propped on his elbow and looked into her eyes.

"And when you leave…"she watch him stop, look back over to the sky and sigh. "When you leave me, I'll die. I've never felt this before, never. I want to follow you forever. I don't know, I-" But he was cut off by a kiss from the woman on top of him, the love of his life. It was the sweetest kiss he had ever received. Light, beautiful, pure, and enchanting.

"You just said everything I needed to hear. I love you." then she smiled at him, his Kagome smiled at him but then did the weirdest thing. She began to cry. The man with the drooping dog ears couldn't understand it one bit though.

"I'm just really happy."

"Good."

Future days were spent long and hot sitting and remembering the old comrades they left behind. Miroku and Sango. Kagome realized that she could never completely master the way of Inuyasha, because she was not him. Her duty had was to complete him, not be him and it had been their differences that made them fit so perfectly together. Kagome and Inuyasha though in mourning, praised the new day. A chapter in their life had passed. As exciting as it was, it was their job the make the next one just as exciting. They had Miroku and Sango's great grandchildren with them, guiding and instructing them, teaching them their culture and what their grandparents and great grandparents did so that they could have a better life. Times were hard, but together they saw each other through.

Inuyasha was in his late twenties, Kagome the same. They had brought many children into life, and watched as a few of them sadly left. Kagome and Inuyasha are sitting on a rock at the top of a waterfall watching the sun set. Two children are running around in the back round, chasing a frog. One leaps for the reptile and lands with a plop on the dirt while the other one trips on the fallen body. One child is a girl, the other a boy. Kagome and Inuyasha look back at the scene and laugh. Inuyasha goes to pick up the fallen children. Kagome and Inuyasha had both changed, the brutality of life, death and war evident in their eyes.

"Sana and Akito go find Shippou, please. We're getting ready to leave." Kagome said to her children.

"Yeah, and tell him not to forget the pups this time. I'm not going looking for them again." Her mate chimed in. The two pups bowed and ran off into the forest.

"We did good Inuyasha…"

"Yeah…, we did. I never thought we'd end up actually happy."

"In these times, it's so rare. You've changed so much, yet you are still the same man I pledged my heart to all those years ago." Kagome rested her head on his shoulder, the moment still able to flutter her heart.

"Together forever." He held out his hand as her own intertwined with his.

"Yes, together forever…"

Finally
