Inuyasha: Sweet Dreams and a Happy Life

Chapter 14: Returning: Epilogue

Jerking her head up at the words, Amaya quickly thought the suggestions over carefully. There would be no problems if she went with her son, at least none that she could foresee. And she would like to live with the son that she hadn't seen in such a long time. Closing her eyes, she smiled at them, and nodded her consent. "I would love to come with you," she said.

"That is good news. I am giving you the choice to decide when we may leave," Kagome said. "But it cannot be too long. I have an adopted daughter and she would like to go see the one she loves."

"Very well. We may leave early in the morning," Amaya said. "I would like for you and my son to come with me for a moment, if it isn't any trouble."

"There's no problem with that," Tenshi Suoh replied. The young hanyou gently helped his mother to her feet and followed her instructions that led to her chamber, with Kagome following them.

Inuyasha grunted quietly and walked out of the room. He stood outside with Kaliya and Kyashii as they lounged around the garden. His friends had stayed inside and they spoke among themselves about Malkee's behavior. "What are you thinking about?" he asked his daughters.

"Just about what could have happened when Malkee attacked Tenshi and myself, Father," Kaliya responded keeping her gaze fixed on the beautiful flowers that grew before her. "I'm glad that he got turned on his ass, though. He may be the Lord of this region, but he has no right to treat others like that. I'm glad that Mother came across time. They have the most right of way that I have seen than they do here. Some times the racism that I see is no better than getting tortured and killed."

"I agree. If it wasn't for Tenshi jumping in, I would have torn Malkee to pieces with my bare hands. I would have welcomed my demon side to some out," Inuyasha told his daughters.

"You all ways were so protective of us, Father. Now I see why," Kyashii replied with a smile on her face, and hugged him.

Servants kept stealing glances at them, hiding their smiles as they did so. This was how a family should be, even if that family was hanyou in nature. Even then, they were happy that Amaya would be leaving with her lost son and his friends. All they wanted was her happiness for years to come.

As they walked through the taijiya village doors, they were greeted by many faces. Kohaku stood aside, his chained sickle held in his fists incase any youkai tried to gain access to the village when the doors were open to allow access to returning from their travels. He relaxed as the doors were closed, and put the weapon back, but in easy reach, just in case.

"Sister. All has passed well, except for the wolf demon, Koga, has come by to ask forgiveness for some past sin that he has committed against Kagome," the young taijiya informed.

"Thank you, Kohaku. Lady Amaya, this is Sango's brother, Kohaku. Kohaku, this is Lady Amaya, Tenshi Suoh's mother," Kagome introduced the two to each other before leading the blind youkai to her hut. "You'll be staying with my mate and I until we have a hut built for you."

"There is no need to do that," Amaya said.

"I know that you'll say that, but I believe that hospitality is a lot better than having none at all," Kagome replied, showing Amaya where she would be sleeping.

Months later, Amaya grinned as she held her grand-pup. The young one had been born just a few days ago, and from what the others told her, it had her son's beautiful blue eyes and his mate's features, including her black and white hair. That must have been a sight for those who never saw an inu hanyou in such a way, to say the least. Other villagers flocked to the village to see the child and to seek help from the hanyou miko, Kagome, for troubles with youkai or illnesses.

"What will be he be named?" she asked.

"His name will be Fushigi," Tenshi answered his mother, taking the sleeping inu-kuro to his crib.

It was said that a young inu hanyou who called himself Fushigi was the half demon who was able to lessen the gap between youkai, hanyou and humans alike. He made peace with each race for he was loved by all. Humans found that he was kind and caring, like his parents and his grand-parents. Other hanyou trusted him for he was one of them. Youkai learned to accept that he had their blood in him, and learned to accept other hanyou for what they were.

It was also said that he lived well past the expected lifespan of a hanyou, surpassing the hanyou, Inuyasha, and the hanyou miko, Kagome, who live to a ripe seven hundred and fifty years of age. Fushigi himself lived up to a few years over nine hundred, and managed to become a well respected member of the Japanese parliament before he left for America under another identity. He died in France. Unfortunately, the British government found out about who he really was, but he managed to escape with the help of a young child suoh hanyou, whom he took under his wing. Yuki Yangi, the dragon half demon kept records of her adoptive father, which still exist today, and are located at the ancient Higurashi shrine.
