He felt it the instant that it happened, and he had never felt such joy in his long life. As agreed Inuyasha rushed to retrieve Sango, she after all had every right to be there too. They had returned, both of them. He could feel both of their spiritual energies and he knew that at last his long wait was over. He moved with a speed that had grown over the years and even after his stop to snatch Sango managed to get to the shrine before they had made their way into Kagome's home.

Miroku felt it or rather them. He had insisted that they return to Kagome's time. She had a family to think of, and he knew she would forever regret it if she didn't. He was shocked to feel Sango's presence rushing towards them with Inuyasha. Somehow she had defied logic and made it into this time. While he should have felt relief he was just too drained to try to muster it. He and Kagome stopped long enough to allow them to reach them for their bitter sweet reunion. They both felt actual relief that their friends had made it into this time. But Miroku could not shake the sorrow that came along with knowing he was going to have to live the rest of his days without his one true love.

Somehow Sango managed to reach miroku before Inuyasha could get to Kagome. She wrapped her arms around him in an embrace that bit at Kagome's heart to witness. Then she held him at arms length before exclaiming "thank God. I knew you would return to me."

Inuyasha had been just as eager with his approach to Kagome pulling her to him the instant he reached her to embrace her. He buried his head into her neck to take in her scent that even after all this time had never left his mind. What he smelled though made him growl and whirl on the monk. "What have you done?" He demanded.

Miroku had for his part also noticed a change and was quick to reply "nothing more than you." He had seen the mating mark upon Sango's shoulder and coupled with the fact that she was still here he had no doubt as to it's meaning.

"It is not what you think," Sango was quick to say. "We did mate, but only once, and only so that I would get to live to be with you again. What is Inuyasha talking about though?"

"They rutted," Inuyasha spat. "I should have known that a pervert like you just could not keep your hands off of her."

Sango looked at Miroku with undeniable hurt in her eyes and took a step back. Kagome however took a step towards Miroku and spoke up in his defense. "He didn't do anything that I did not let him," she told Inuyasha. "But you don't understand," she tried to continue.

"Oh, it must have been awful," Inuyasha retorted. "The only difference between us was Sango and I had more scenery to look at as we waited five hundred years for you two. Oh, and by the way we did it without touching anyone."

Kagome had wanted to protect them but she saw now that she couldn't. "We fell in love," she blurted. Sango seemed to deflate as she returned to Inuyasha's side.

"Well that is just friggin lovely," he yelled as he rushed forward and ripped the completed jewel form Kagome's neck. And before she or Miroku could make a move to stop him the jewel was gone.

All of a sudden Kagome felt different. Not in a bad way, just different. She looked over at Miroku and was in awe. He was changing. Not just changing he was becoming a demon. As she looked down she realized that so was she. When the change was complete she looked at Inuyasha. "Why," was all she could manage?

"Because it has been my plan to for the last five hundred years. I guess you guys saved us all because now it was a completely unselfish wish," he replied.

Kagome was stunned. She didn't know what to say. This is what she had wanted to prevent, but she should have known what would happen. What happened next though left her even more stunned and actually made Miroku have to catch her before she hit the ground. Inuyasha was about to leave but paused and grabbed her arm first. In a voice that only she could hear he whispered, "I will always love you Kagome. By the way you are pregnant. Good luck with the pervert, but if you ever need me I am here."

She watched for a moment as he began to walk away and smiled slightly as she watched Sango take Inuyasha's hand. It would seem her friends would be ok after all. Then the entirety of what he had said hit her and she started to go down. Miroku was there in an instant and grabbed her before she could hit the ground. "Kagome," he called out "are you alright?"

"Yes," she mumbled "no. I don't know."

"You look pale," he said in a concerned tone as he began to help her make her way towards her home.

She stopped him though before they could reach the door. What she had to say she did not want her family to hear. "I am pregnant," she blurted with tears in her eyes. She expected him to leave, or to try to say he was wrong and did love Sango. But instead he grabbed her up and twirled her in the air.

"This is great," he proclaimed!

"Really," she questioned?

"Of course it is. After all now we can skip the part where I have to ask you to bear my children," he told her with a face that was way too serious for the statement he had just made.

Oh well, she mused, he was her lecher after all.

Without thought he lovingly scooped her into his arms and used his newly granted demonic skill leapt with her to the top of the roof. And sitting with their hands entwined they watched the first sunset they were able to witness in a long time. A sunset that signaled not only the end of a day, but the beginning of their life together.

Ok so I have the feeling that I need to explain this story. I have always written Sessh/Kag stories, they are my favorite pairing after all. But I guess that with this I just wanted to see if I could do something different. So if you don't mind if you read this please take a moment to let me know how it is. Good or bad it doesn't matter I just want to know if I should stick to what I know.
