Epilogue


There was music, bubbles, laughter and lots of noise. The triplets first birthday was officially underway. There was a petting zoo, carnival rides, face painting, games, food trucks, ice cream, prizes. You name it. The invite was only open to family, friends and co-workers and the council.

Sesshomaru was in the butler's pantry with his wife. The room was hot, the atmosphere thick with desire, her breathing was heavy and labored, biting her lips trying to muffle her moan.

A strong hand grabbed her throat and squeezed, Sesshomaru's deep voice a husky whisper in her ear, " Like that?"

She groaned, getting wetter, rocking her hips forward, hissing her answer, " Yesss."

Sesshomaru had her against the door, she looked so delicious today, she was dressed in a beautiful pastel yellow and off-white pattern sundress. It flowed around her like a portrait, teasing around her lovely, sexy curves, her ebony hair cascading down her back like the wing of a raven. Her nude wedges finishing the outfit, her face had minimal makeup only a light touch of liner and mascara, blusher and gloss.

It turned him on to the point he pulled her into the closest room away from the party and started fingering her until her legs started to shake. He anchored a leg over his arm and slid inside her, " Say yes Daddy."

Her head fell against the wood as she moaned, " Yes Daddy."

Her fingernails dug into his back, her breath coming in shuddering gasps as she moved urgently against him. He grabbed her chin and nipped at her ear, " Again."

" Yes Daddy yes."

Two fingers slid into her mouth and she moaned, sucking on them. He was so erotic, so dominate, so damn sexy. It turned her on like no other. She didn't even think she was in her body anymore, she couldn't control her movements, wasn't aware of anything but the jolts of pleasure striking through her body.

He pulled his fingers out and kissed her lips hard, shooting his seed deep inside her just as she came. He licked her lips and grabbed her waist, holding her up, " Kagome."

She looked at him slowly, her dark blue orbs clouded with recent pleasure. He set her down, her legs gave out, falling against him, he caught her, " Are you alright?"

She leaned against his chest, nodding. He lifted her chin, looking into those distant eyes, " Are you sure?" She nodded again.

He smirked kissing her lips, " I like your dress."

Her mouth open, he watched her lick her bottom lip before smiling, his quickies only made you want a full session later, " You could have just said that."

He watched her hike her dress up and cleaning off her legs with a towel. She looked around the pantry with a frown and smirked. " Lose something?"

She dropped her dress, letting it flutter around her, " Where are my panties?"

In my pocket, he thought, leaning against a wall, " Were you wearing any?"

She rolled her eyes, scanning the floor again, " Yes." she glanced up to her husband, he took them off her so fast she didn't even have time to react, " You have them don't you?"

He crossed his arms, " No."

She laughed, " Yes you do." She shook her head, this was like the 3rd pair that was missing, " You hoarding my underwear?"

He stood, " I plead the 5th."

She rolled her eyes " I gotta go upstairs to get more."

A hand wrapped around her waist, bending her over bar cart and palmed her ass, " Put more on and we're not leaving this room for the rest of the day."

She bit her lip with a groan, feeling her core warming, as enticing as that sounds they were was a party right outside. She put her hands up, " Okay, you win, now stop before you ruin my dress."

He smirked, fixing his pants, Sesshomaru was dressed more casually than most ever seen him. He wore a pair of Tru Legions black jeans that fit him perfectly, baggy but not too loose. The high top black and gray air nikes laced all the way up but was left on tied so the laces bounced when he walked. The braided v neck gray polo sweater he wore had the sleeves pushed up to his elbows with a collared white shirt underneath. There was a black Laurns watch on his wrist with a pinky ring. His hair for once was brushed and pulled away from his face into a low ponytail, a platinum chain around his neck.

She turned to him, " You look so good." then put a hand on his chest when he tried to grab her again. With a laugh, she shook her head, " Later, we have guests, now let's go."

They snuck back to the party at different times and entered the backyard separately. Sesshomaru was standing in a corner, drink in a red cup, next to his best friend. The wolf was laughing with a few of the coworkers that came to the private party. He was half listening but his eyes were on his wife.

She sat at a table full of women, their daughter in her lap. The last 18 months has been a whirlwind of emotion. Kagome and Sesshomaru announced their adopting of Rin to the news and a month later announced Kagome's pregnancy to the world. She only carried for 6 months which was worrisome for him since the standard is 7 to 8 for inus.

The world was concerned about half breeds being heirs to the west but it was the last thing on his mind. Kagome and her team was still focused on finding Naraku. It took a complete intervention to convince Kagome to take maternity leave. She was stubborn to the very end with cravings that had him checking multiple grocery stores in the middle of the night. Her mood swings were most times dangerous but lowkey funny. Like when she tried to rip one of Inuyasha's ears off when he called her fat.

Eventually it got to the point where he had to hid the knives and all sharp objects for the last 2 months of her pregnancy. Rin thought it was hilarious and still brought it up in conversation. The day Kagome gave birth they were all watching tv when her water broke on the couch. It took them all by surprise, no matter how many times they practiced the run to the hospital. Rin was allowed to stay in the birthing room and to everyone's surprise Kagome gave birth to full blooded demons; identical boys and a little girl. They named the boys, Tash after his father Tashio and Sou after her brother Souta. And they named the little girl Saya, Kagome said it was the name Man called his home when he told her stories about where he was from. He was skeptical at first but then remembered she saw Man in a different light than everyone else. The entity was her sanity through a childhood no kid should live through.

Kagome smiled sweetly, a hand holding her sunhat to her head as the wind blew. Her other arm around their daughter. Sesshomaru smirked, watching her carefully, her movements were delicate, almost fragile even. She looked like Bambi's baby sister and yet he knew at least 3 knives and a gun were somewhere on her person right now. It turned him on, how could something so lethal look so delicate.

Saya giggled in her mother's lap, making Kagome stand her up to shower her with kisses. She looked much like her mother. Dark black tresses splayed about on her head and yet her bangs were a sharp silver like her father's unevenly falling into her eyes. Eyes that were hard to describe, they were not your typical blue. Imagine diving into the deep sea of the Arctic, imagine chipping off a piece of the very base of an iceberg. Then imagine rolling that piece of ice in the night sky. That would be her eyes. Such a glacial deep blue they seemed to glow. She was dressed in a navy-blue shirt that had a white daisy on the front, her light blue shorts matching her shirt with prints of small daisy's covering them. White low tops on her small feet.

The twins ran over, identical to their father, their short, perfectly messy silver hair, but their tips were a deep black. Smooth ivory skin. Soft, plum, pink lips and sparking amber eyes. They whined for a moment, demanding kisses just like their sister. Kagome laughed, leaning down, kissing their foreheads. They were dressed in the same outfit, a white beater under a navy blue t shirt and light blue jeans with a navy fade and gray and white Jordans.

Kagura walked over, picking Saya up and bounced her on her hip. Even though Naraku was still at large, Kagura actually never left the forest that night. When Midoriko blasted the area when she emerged Kagura was thrown deep into the forest and unfortunately crashed into a Manchineel tree. The most poisonous tree in the world. Sap covered her body causing burns and blisters. And the worst part being, part of a cracked berry of the deadly tree got into her mouth.

At first she had thought it was pleasantly sweet, but moments later there was a strange peppery feeling in her mouth, which gradually progressed to a burning, tearing sensation and tightness of the throat. When Naraku left the others, he found her laying on the ground, unable to move with her throat collapsing. He had silently, pulled out her heart, put it in her hand and left her to die.

It was Souta who came looking for her after the incident was over. He found her unresponsive and covered in red ants but with a pulse. He immediately took her to the hospital and called Kagome to heal her. Ever since then the wind demoness has been staying with the demon lord and his family. She was in counseling and studying under Ayumi as a nanny in training. Turns out, the wind demoness enjoyed children.

InuKimi scooped Saya from Kagura as Tashio grabbed the twins in a bear hug and ran with them around the yard. Souta walked in with Connie, gift bag in hand, he walked over to Sesshomaru, " Where's the present table?"

Sesshomaru pointed to the left, " Over there."

Souta grinned, " My gift so dope, they gonna love it."

There was laughter from behind him, " Not better than mines." Kikyou smiled, walking in with 3 gift bags.

Ever since that night, Kikyou has worked hard to rebuild a bond with her twin. Remembering the truth really opened her eyes. Souta snorted, " Aye, I know kids."

Connie laughed, " Cause you still are one."

Kikyou burst into a fit of giggles, " I like her." she said, bowing her head to Sesshomaru before walking away.

Souta squeezed his girlfriend to his side as they walked over to the present table. Inuyasha bumped his brother's shoulder, " Yo, how about having me over for dinner when Kikyou's over."

Sesshomaru glanced to the hanyou, " She's too smart for you."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his brother as Gruff walked over and grabbed the bottle of wine behind the inu, " Its too hot for this shit." he grumbled.

Sesshomaru shook his head, ever since what they were calling 'the cave incident', Gruff began to warm up nicely to his son in law. Sesshomaru understood why Kagome was the way she was, Gruff taught her to act just like him, " Language, this is a kids party."

Green eyes rolled, " Hampton and Ayame are checking the perimeter. Just in case."

A brow raised, " I have guards for that."

" No one is as good as my team."

The inu silently agreed but didn't mention it, Gruff looked to the young lord, " I'm proud of you."

Sesshomaru snorted behind his cup as he took a sip, " You my father now?"

Gruff just shrugged, looking towards his daughter, " Just saying. She could have chose worse."

" It was an arrangement, not a chose."

Gruff snickered, glancing to the inu, " She definitely chose you kid."

Sesshomaru glanced away, trying to smother the fuzzy feeling inside, he knew what he was talking about and it made him love Kagome even more. " Shut up."

Gruff laughed, refilling his cup, Lord Suki and Lord Lemin walked over, greeting the lord of the west. Gruff bowed out, discreetly walking away, politics makes him break out in hives. Suki smiled, " They are so big! I can't believe they are already one."

Lord Lemin agreed, seeing his own two cubs running around with their mother and guard, " It is a blessing. Before you know it they are going to be asking for money and talking back."

Sesshomaru chuckled, " I will never be prepared."

Suki looked to the young demon, he has come out of his guarded shell so much in the last year. He smiled more, laughed more and was so much more relaxed, it felt like he was a completely different person. Lord Lemin smiled, thinking much of the same thing, the young pup has grown so much. He glanced over the yard, " A lot of athletes are here."

Sesshomaru just nodded, When Kagome was about 4 months pregnant, she arranged a basketball tournament with every all star basketball player she could get to come. It was televised and the world was shocked when Sesshomaru stepped on the court. He demolished the competition and won MVP of the entire event. It had taken 36 hours of her begging, literally on her knees to convince him to even compete, but he was happy she pushed him. Now every weekend, players came to practice with him at his home court.

" They keep trying to recruit me." He finally said.

The phoenix laughed, picking up a cup from the concession table, " I hope all stays well." he turned looking for his next target, " I'm going to hit on all the soccer moms."

Lord Lemin shook his head at his bachelor friend, " I'll keep him out of trouble." he said to Sesshomaru, following the charmer towards the table of single moms.

Kouga stood beside his friend, " This is nice."

Sesshomaru nodded, it was indeed, " Let's hope it stays like this."

Kouga smirked, " No one would dare mess up the triplets birthday."

" Have you met my parents?"

Kouga laughed, he was so proud of how much Sesshomaru has changed in the last year. Even at work, everyone noticed how much more approachable he was. He was never this fun before. The wolf knew it was Kagome, she helped him open up more. She brings the best out of people and he loved how well she matched with his best friend. " I can borrow those right?"

Sesshomaru didn't bother looking to his friend, knowing he was talking about his sneakers, " Never."

Standing up, Kagome looked to her husband and waved him over as the cater brought out the birthday cake. Draining his glass, he made his way over, touching her waist and kissing her temple when he reached her. She just smiled into the love, turning his arms, she clapped her hands, " Okay everyone, time to sing happy birthday!"

InuKimi and Tashio walked over with the little ones; the cake was 5 tiers tall and covered in candles. Everyone gathered around, Kagome smiled, " 1,2,3..."

" Kagome!"

Everyone turned at the screaming, blue eyes rolled seeing her parents walking into the yard. Souta stood beside his sister, " How they get past the guards?"

She frowned with a shake of her head, looking to the unwanted guests, " This party is invite only."

Atomi frowned, " Come on Kagome, you shot me, can't we call it even."

She pulled her weapon out so fast it looked to materialize in her hand. She stepped forward, pointing her weapon, " I'll fucking do it again too, now get out."

May rolled her eyes, while crossing her arms stubbornly, " They are my grandkids, I have a right to see them on their birthday."

InuKimi and Tashio glanced at each other before turning their backs to the commotion, keeping the kids distracted. Sesshomaru stepped forward before Kagome shot her parents, " May, Atomi, you both need to leave. We can have this discussion at a more appropriate time."

May shook her head, " How can you just kick us out?! We are the grandparents, we have rights." her brown eyes looked to her preferred daughter, " Kikyou tell them to let us stay."

The miko frowned, " I haven't spoken to you in over a year, I don't know why you think I will help you now."

" I don't understand why you're treating me this way!"

Kikyou stepped forward, " Since I was a kid you've lied to me about my sister."

May shook her head, " That's not true, she tried to kill you. We were protecting you."

" When I remembered what happened that night. I remembered something else. I saw you. I saw you standing on the stairs, hiding, while me and Kagome were attacked and almost taken by that demon." she pointed her finger, " You knew Kagome didn't stab me and yet you told me that anyways. You let her be taken to jail and let me hate her for years when you knew it wasn't her fault!"

" How was I supposed to explain it huh!" May screamed, " How was I supposed to tell what happened, I can barely even fucking remember! It just made sense that she did it! It made sense!"

Atomi stepped forward, " If we can just calm down and talk this out."

Kagome shook her head, " Get out of my house. Now."

Blue eyes glanced over to his son, " Souta?" he asked, looking for help. The teen frowned, a hand grabbing Connie by the waist, pressing her to his side. A reminder that he will never forgive him for what he said to the love of his life. His voice was stern, " You should leave."

Sesshomaru raised his hand, signaling the guards to escort them away. Kagome shook her head with a sigh, her inu husband kissed her forehead, " You're okay."

She nodded at the statement, before putting her gun away. She turned with a smile, " Okay everyone, where were we? 1,2,3.. Happy Birthday to you!"

Everyone joined in, " Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Tash, Sou, and Sayaaa..."


Atomi and May scuffed at being kicked out the party, Atomi shook his head as they approached the car. " Is it true?"

May glanced to him, " What?"

He stopped, " Did you really see Kagome stab Kikyou or not?"

May sighed, " Hunny, not now, let's just go home."

Atomi pulled away from the arm that tried to link with his, " That night when I woke up, you were already out of bed. Did you see Kagome stab her or not?"

May frowned, " I don't know what I saw... but it was Kagome. She did it."

Atomi felt complete disgust, " How can you say that if you don't know!" He turned away, he couldn't look at her right now. All these years he backed her up because she was his wife. He played neural to not make it difficult for her. He lost his daughters, his son and now his grand kids to a lie.

" I need some time." he mumbled, turning away from his partner in life. Taking the keys out his pocket, he dropped them on the ground and started to walk away without a single word.

May watched him, too shocked to speak, tears dripped from her eyes before she angrily snatched the keys off the ground."

She got into the car and slammed the door, crying against the steering wheel. This could not be happening to her. She didn't deserve any of this bad luck.

" Long day huh."

Her head snapped over to the voice, someone was in her backseat. She frowned, wiping her face, " Who are you? What do you want?"

A body came into view as a man leaned forward, long black hair flowed around his shoulders. Red eyes gleamed, illuminated by the thin stream of sunlight casting through the vehicle. May stared, watching as the stranger's shadow extended to the roof of the car. His voice sending a chilling shudder through her core, " I'm here to help you."
