Kagasha: Hey guys. You don't know how sorry I am for taking so long to write. I was having some serious writer's block and couldn't think of a thing.
Inu-Yasha: Well it's about time you found out something to write, or I think everyone would've attacked you.
Kagasha: Wow, ha ha, I hope not. Oh, almost forgot, sorry to say, but this is the very last chappie for The Death of Kouga.
Inu-Yasha: Why?
Kagasha: Because I felt as though I had gone completely off track from my originial plan and I was finding it more difficult to write chappies for this story.
Inu-Yasha: It's going to be a sad sad day in Fanfiction land.
Kagasha: Yeah I know. So I hope you guys all enjoy the last and final chappie for The Death of Kouga. ENJOY!!
The Death of Kouga
Epilouge: Night Night
Kouga held their new baby boy, Miyan, in his left arm as he reached down with his right to pick up the other baby boy, Ashton. "Kagome, you got Shippo and Kaouga ready?" She nodded her head as she placed the last flap tight on the restless Kaouga. When she was done getting her diaper on, Kaouga jumped off the bed and ran to get her dress. She lifted it above her head and made a 'mmfff' noise, signaling for one of her parents to put it on for her.
"No Kaouga, you already have your dress on." She pouted and threw the dress on the floor. "Pick it up", Kagome ordered. Kaouga picked up the dress and sat back down on the bed. "Shippo?'
"Yea mom", the now thirteen year old, in demon years, Shippo said as he walked into Kagome's bedroom after brushing his teeth. He grew an astonishing three feet, now five foot eight.
"Get Kaouga. We're about to go." He nodded with aprroval as he bent over to pick up his little sister. She giggled and patted his face as he lightly tickled her stomach. He picked up her diaper bag and walked down the stairs to get ready to leave. "You all set Kouga?"
He looked at both of the twins and shook his head. Kagome giggled as she took Miyan out of his arms. She tossed her big yellow bag over her shoulder and the couple walked downstairs. "We're leaving Mom", Kagome screamed into the kitchen.
"Oh, come here." Kagome walked into the kitchen and approached her mother. Ms. Higurash kissed Miyan's forehead and he squirmed around a little bit, then settled. "Come back in one piece with all my grandbabies, ok", she said as she gently held Kagome's faced. She nodded her approval. "Have fun and tell everyone that I sid hi. Oh, and I have this dish I want to give to them." She shuffled towards a stack of four containers stacked with one on top of the other. She picked them up and handed them to Kagome.
"Mom, I have no space in this bag or my arms to bring that to them."
"Well just get Kouga to put it in the other bag."
"Kay." She balanced the containers in her arms until she could set them down onto the living room coffee table. "Kouga can you put thee in that bag over there?"
"Sure." He let Ashton rest on is lap as he took he containers and placed them into a baby blue bag the same size as the yellow one. "Now are we ready to go?", Kouga asked, anxious to get back to the Feudal Era.
"Yes Kouga. We're ready."
"Finally." He picked up his son and let his head rest on his broad muscular shoulder as he grabbed the baby blue bag and walked out the back door of the house. Kagome and Shippo followed behind him, saying their last goodbyes for the day. When they approached the well, they just stood and sighed. It had been about a year since they been to the Feudal Era. Everything changed since they left. The family grown, Shippo changed a lot, Kagome has gotten a little fuller due to the twins and her hair was now reaching towards her lower back. They wondered about how everyone else would look and knew that maybe everything wasn't going to be the same as usual.
They all lifted their heads up high, held onto their things tight, and one by one jumped into the well. Kagome sighed at the feeling of being in between time and realized how much she missed it. When they got to the other side of the well, they all gazed at the wilderness that they used to be around most of the time. Kaouga got extremely restless again and wriggled out of Shippo's grasp and started to run around the floor on all fours. She galloped around and let the grass slide in between the cracks of her fingers. It was as if she felt this connection with the time period.
"Kaouga, get off the grass. You'll get your dress dirty." Kaouga wagged her tail a bit before getting off the ground and woddling over to Shippo to hold his hand. Kagome smiled and shook her head as she turned to look at Kouga. "She got that from you." Kouga smiled. "Do you smell anything familiar", she asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah, over in the west. Do you sense anything over in that direction?"
"Yeah, I guess we should start walking then." So with that said, they started walking towards the west. They walked about a good five miles when Kagome stopped to feed the twins.
"Kagome, can't they wait? We'll be there soon, I can smell that Mutt better than ever."
"No, Kouga. I have to keep them on a schedule." Kouga sighed and rested up against a tree and looked in the distance.
"We should walk in that direction when you're done feeding them." Kagome just nodded as she continued to feed her sons. After feeding them, she wiped off the excess milk from their lips, handed Ashton over to Kouga as she held Miyan, fixed herself up, and followed behind Kouga to the direction he pointed to earlier. After about thirty minutes off walking, Kaouga got restless again. She yanked her hand away from Shippo's and ran towards the sound of a fire cackling.
"Kaouga!! Get back here." Kaouga ignored her command and continued to run towards the sound. She following more by a familiar smell than the sound of fire. She soon ran into the person's campsite and jumped onto a hanyou's head. She pulled on his ears and laughed.
"DAMN IT!!"
Kouga, Shippo, and Kagome ran in fear of something happening to Kaouga and also ran into the campsite. They came face to face with an old face they haven't seen in what seemed like forever. "Kaouga, get off of him." She let go of his ears, but didn't get off his head.
"Kaouga, get off that mutt. You don't know what kind of ticks he might have." This time Kaouga crawled down the hanyou's back and sat down beside him.
"Who the hell you think you calling a mutt?" The hanyou walked up towards Kouga in anger.
"Inu-Yasha", Kagome asked, interrupting their common feud.
"Kagome?" He looked down at the baby laying up against her breasts. He seen the same ears as Kaouga's, but no tail. "What's this? I mean, another one?"
"No, two. We had twins."
"Twins. When did this happen?"
"It was when I asked to leave and never came back. I thought it would be better for the pregnancy to stay in my time, so I can take better care of myself and the twins." Inu-Yasha grumbled as he walked away from Kagome and picked up Kaouga. "Where's Miroku and Sango?"
"They went to get some food and some extra stuff for Roku." He laid down on his back and played with Kaouga on his stomach.
"And Kikyo?"
He quickly darted his eyes towards her and then seemed to stare into space. "She's gone for good now. She somehow got pregnant and after she had the baby, she just broke. Her body just split in half and she basically withered away into the air."
"What happened to the baby", Kagome asked as she sat down beside him. Kouga sat up against the tree and fixed up the twins in their blankets.
"He lived for about a month." His eyes swelled up with tears of extreme sorrow and he bit his lip. "Lady Kaede had it buried behind her hut." He looked at Kaouga and fiddled with her small fingers. "I barely named him before he died." A lone tear slipped out his eye and caressed his cheek as it cascaded down. Kagome placed her hand onto Inu-Yasha's and looked deep into his eyes.
"It's ok, Inu-Yasha."
"No, you'll never understand. You've never lost a baby. All your children are here and breathing. Not mine..."
"Yes I have. I aborted my first baby." Inu-Yasha gave her a what-are-you-talking-about look and she explained it for him. "It's whe you kill a baby inside you before its bron so you won't have to deal with it. That was my very first baby, or fetus so to speak, and I wanted to keep it, but knew that it was best for us to just not have it. But its ok now. Everything resolved itself and everything's fine." Inu-Yasha gazed at her in awe and quietly fixed his attention back to playing with Kaouga. Kagome stood up and shuffled over to Kouga and sat beside him. She let her head fall on his shoulder and she sighed heavily. "If I have to tell that story one more time, I might cry." Kouga just wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to his body.
Soon Miroku and Sango entered the campsite. When they walked in, they immediately stopped in their tracks and stared at the couple lying up against the tree. "Don't tell me that's who I think it is", Sango said handiing her gathered food to Miroku and walking over to the couple. "Kagome? Kouga?" They both looked up to yet another face they haven't seen in a while. Kagome quickly got up and gave Sango and Miroku a hug.
"Oh wow. It's so nice to see you guys again. I've missed you so much." Sango looked over Kagome's shoulder and seen the two baby boys lying on the ground on top of piles of blue blankets.
"And who are these two little handsome men", she said walking towards the baby boys.
"Oh, this is Miyan and that's Ashton. Those are the addition to our family."
"They are so adorable." Sango squatted down to look at the boys and the look at her and Ashton reached up to touch her face. Miyan just looked at her as if studying her and getting a mental picture of who she is.
They continued to talk on and on. just getting reaquainted with one another. Sango and Miroku happened to bring up the death of Inu-Yasha's baby again and he got extremely depressed and walked away into the woods. Kaouga followed closely behind him, as if she didn't want to be away from him. They also told them about Roku picked up a flower and called it a dog. They had plenty of stories to tell each other.
Night had fallen and Inu-Yasha and Kaouga finally returned from the woods. Inu-Yasha sat down by the fire and watched Kagome cook some food for everyone. Kaouga sat on his lap and watched as well.
"Where did you guys go?"
"I needed to breath. And this little thing right here won't leave my side. It's like...I don't know. It's cute though."
Kouga got up and walked over to Kagome and held her close. "I told her to stop being near you. Mutts don't know how to take care of themselves."
"Shut the hell up." He picked up Kaouga and made a funny face at her. "You're a big a mutt as I am huh?"
"Mutt", Kaouga said, pointing at both Inu-Yasha and herself. She then laughed at clapped her hands. Everyone then laughed after her and smiled.
"Well that is true and I haven't even realized it. All of our kids are mutts". Kagome said smiling at Kouga.
When the food was done, everoyne sat down and ate. Kaouga and Roku sat side by side and shared the same bowl of food. Kagome fed the twins after she ate. She changed their diapers and placed them in their nap sacks. She then got into some more comfortable clothing, got a sleeping bag, and laid in it beside the twins. Kouga did the same after eating, except he just laid down on a comforter Kagome brought. Sango and Miroku put Roku to sleep and they soon fell asleep afterwards. Everyone was now sleep except for Kaouga and Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha was laying down on the grass and let Kaouga lie on his stomach. He played with her fingers and smiled. "Why do you like being near me huh?" She looked at him and shrugged her shoulders. He smiled again, fangs showing, and continued to play with her fingers.
"Night night Yasha."
Inu-Yasha quickly looked up at her and smiled. "Night night."
Kagasha: How'd it go? Was it good?
Kagome: I enjoyed. Just wish I could keep reading though.
Kouga: Yeah. And you did a good job at ending the story K-babe. (kisses Kagasha on her lips)
Kagasha: Thanks. I appreciate it.
Shippo: We should have a end of the story party or something.
Miroku: Yeah, we should have a nice little get together to commemorate the great story and the author Kagasha.
Kagasha: (giggles and blushes) Aww, stop it you guys.
Inu-Yasha: Come on. (places Kagasha on his back) We're going out. (everyone follows behind them)
Kagasha: Well, now I don't know what to say now. But I hope you've enjoyed the story and found it very interesting. If you like, you can check out other stories I've written.
