Chapter 16 Epologue, Till the Day Break
Sorry it's taken me so long to update, between going back to school and a hell lot of chores literly pooped me out. Heh heh heh, I hope you enjoy the closeing chapter, lata.
Kagome picked up the jewel off of the ground and looked at it. It was almost complete, but there where still a few shardes missing. The two from Koga, and the one from Kohaku. Sango had been silent the rest of the day after they had killed Naraku.
She was sitting next to a river, on the river bank. Miroku walked up to her and sat down next to her. Kirara mewed and jumped on Miroku's shoulder. Sango looked away from Miroku and sighed.
"Listen, Sango. I know what your worried about, it's Kohaku isn't it?"
"Yeah, I don't want to lose him, he's the last of my family."
"Yes. I don't know how you fell, but I can relate to the lose of your family and village."
Sango sighed and looked away. "When I first found out that he was still alive, but he wasn't himself and when he tried to kill Kagome. Every thought in my head was that I was going to kill him to set him free from Naraku and then kill myself. But now since Naraku is dead, and Kagome needs to finsih the sacred jewel. I just wish that she could do that without having to take one one from my brothers back."
Miroku put his arm around her shoulder. "Maybe it might be the best thing to do..." He started slowly, choseing his words carefully. "...Just think about it. If Kagome were to leave the sharde, then Kohaku would be tormented by his memorys of killing your family and fellow slayers." He looked at Sango, hopeing that he didn't upset her in anyway. "And wounding you as well. More then once." Sango lowered her head. Her shoulders started to shake and tears glistened in her eyes.
Miroku wrapped his other arm around her and drew her closer to him. Sango buried her face in his collar bone and cried softly. Miroku patted her back and after a few minutes of slient weeping, Sango drew back and apologized. Miroku shook his head and smiled at her. She rested her head against his other shoulder, not wanting to cry again and soak his kimono with tears.
Kagome was sitting next to Inuyasha and Shippo was somewhere playing with that little girl from the cave. She recovered, which surprised Kagome, and was well enough to go outside and play.
"Hey, Inuyasha?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Since Naraku is dead, shouldn't Kohaku get his memorys back? I hoped that he would find his sister and stay with us this time."
"I think it would be best if he didn't."
"What! Why?"
"Just think about it, Sango still cares for her brother, but if the two where to become as close as there once where maybe more she wouldn't let us near his back."
"Huh..." Oh, you're right. I fell sorry for her. It must be really hard." Kagome rested her head on her knees and wrapped her arms around her legs.
"I wonder what happened to you brother and that other demon."
"She was almost dead when Sesshomaru carried her off. He most likey took her to bury her."
"Yeah. . ."
"Are you really gonna stay human after all what has happened?" He asked out of the blue.
"I'm thinking about staying human when I'm in my time but here, I guess I could change if that would be much easier to you guys. At least then you won't have me on your back all the time."
"And don't forget about that demonic scythe that you created with your shadow. My ear is gonna be scared for life." He said. Kagome laughed and looked at the small slit in his ear. It had scabbed over but most likey it will have a small gap from where he ducked when, she was possessed, she tried to cut off his head.
He reached up and touched it. "Naw, I think it's cute to tell you the truth. But now all we need is the two from Koga and the one from Kohaku."
She looked up at the darkening sky and sighed.
"Well, I'll beat the shit out of Koga and rip them out of his puny legs." Kagome rolled her eyes and looked at him.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing." Inuyasha sighed and looked at the Beads of Subjugation He picked them up and pulled on them.
"Kagome, when are you going to take this thing off? I can't take to many of those 'sit' commands."
"Oh come on, I don't say 'sit' that often now--" The beads glowed and he fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Woops! Sorry, my bad."
He jumped up. "Like that makes me fell any better!" Kagome laughed and looked back up at the sky. "Well?"
"No, I don't think I will take them off. You're so much cutter with them on." Inuyasha groaned and fell on his back pulling at them as hard as he could.
"Come on, take them off already!" He rolled to his side. Kagome giggled. "H-Huh?"
She smiled sweetly at him. And laughed. "Sit boy."
"Arggh!" He fell backwards with a thud. Kagome burst out laughing.
"Sounds like Inuyasha's getting into trouble again." Shippo sighed and looked over at the little human girl. She laughed and heard her mother call for her.
"Sorry Shippo, I got to go now." She said as she ran off. She stopped and ran back to Shippo and kissed him on the cheek before running back home. Shippo turned red and touched his cheek. He heard another 'sit' and Inuyasha cried out in pain. He shook his head and walked along the river bank, tossing pebbles and rocks out onto the water.
Inuyasha jumped up from the thrid sit and violently yanked on the beads. Kagome laughed and shook her head. He gave her the evil eye.
"Done?"
"Just about, sit." Thud! She burst out laughing and Inuyasha cursed. "Okay, okay I'm done." For now at least. She thought to herself with an evil grin.
"Have I told you that I really hate that?"
"Yup, many many times."
Sango turned around and leaned against Miroku's chest. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head o her left shoulder. Sango shuddered when he breathed on her neck and he smiled. Kirara came bounding up to them and landed on her lap. Sango petted the little cat demon and Kirara curled up into a little ball and mewed. She looked up at the setting sun that was nothing more then a little golden line on the horizion.
Shippo went back inside and jumped up onto Kaede's shoulder. She was cooking a large pot of soup. She poured him a bowl and he chugged it. He dropped the bowl and cried out when it burned his mouth. Keade laughed and handed him a cooling herb. He ate it.
Kagome sighed. And looked over at Inuyasha, and laughed.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah, now what?"
"Hmm, I'll tell you later."
"Why not tell me now?"
"I'll tell you later I said." He shrugged. Kagome looked down at the bank to where Sango and Miroku where sitting together. She looked over at Inuyasha and smiled. She looked back up at the sky.
"So, it's twilight again. . ." She sighed. He looked at her.
"What's wrong about twilight?"
"Well, to me Twilight is both happy and sad. On one side, it's the start of a new day. But on the other, it's the ending of a day. It's usually sad for me when the day that is comeing to an end, is a happy one."
He blinked and looked at her. "Well, theres always the day break."
She smiled and looked at him and looked back at the sky. Inuyasha got closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She looked at him and they smiled at each other. Both of them looked up.
"Look! A shooting star." Kagome exclaimed. She laughed.
"Make a wish." Inuyasha said. Kagome looked at him and shook her head yes. She held her hands together and closed her eyes, making a wish. After a few minutes, she rested her head on his shoulder.
"So, what did you wish for?"
"If I tell you, it won't come true." She looked down at the two and back up at the sky. "Farewell."
"Hmm?" Inuyasha said. He wrapped his other arm around her and set her in his lap. She leaned back against his chest.
"I'm saying my goodbyes to this day. And saying hello to the new day."
"Ah I see. Yup," they both looked back up at the stary night that had a few traces of clouds in the sky. The moon was bright and full. "Till the day break." She said. He looked at her and smiled and rested his head on the top of hers.
"Yeah. Till the day breaks." He repeated and kissed the crown of her head.
Inside a small clearing, the same clearing he and his father left the pack, Sesshomaru looked at the small stone sticking up out of the ground. His cold gaze softened for a moment and he turned and left the final resting place for the dog demon Adi. He asked if she wanted to live and she turned his offer down.
The only reason why he asked was because it was partly his fault how her fate had wound itself about.
After about half an hour, he could hear Rin singing that silly little song about him. He walked into the medow where Ahun, Jaken, and Rin where waiting. Ahun stood up and Rin sat up and waved at him. Jaken jumped to his feet and walked alongside Ahun towards him.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" The two of them called out. Sesshomaru nodded and turned around.
"Lets go." He said. Rin shook her head and jumped down from Ahun's back and ran after Sesshomaru.
"Ah! Don't leave me behind Lord Sessho--" He fell into a puddle. Ahun walked on and stepped on him. Rin turned and laughed and Jaken moaned in pain.
The small group headed on to parts unknown to Rin and Jaken, but known to Sesshomaru from his past long ago.
Hello! I'm so sorry for how long it took me. Anyways, I hoped you liked the closeing chapter to my first story! I'm still debateing weither I should make a part II to this story.
