Good morning, everyone! I'm sorry to say that this is the epilogue of my little story. I am quite pleased with how it came out considering that it is my first story. Well, read and review! Flames will be used to roast my teachers!!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Sorry for making you wait so long, Lady Mokuro," Rose said bowing to on e of the rulers of Makai as she stood in the study of the castle, "There were some personal matters that needed to be taken care of."

"Hmm. The situation has been resolved, I hope," she answered as she continued to look out the window at her soldiers.

"It has been, Lady," Rose said rising from her bow, "I am curious to the reason why I was called."

"Ah, yes. I figured you might," Mokuro said turning away from the window to look at Rose, "Tell me, how well do you know Hiei's family?"

"Very well, Lady. I have traveled with Hiei and Kurama and have lived with them and Yusuke this last month," Rose said a small frown marring her features.

"That is good. Here is what I want from you," Mokuro said, moving to stand before her desk, "I want likenesses made of the whole family."

"Where will the y be displayed, if I may ask," Rose said distractedly.

"In my private rooms, why?"

"I have many ideas but I know that Hiei would have a fit over some of them if they were displayed in public," Rose said focusing on Mokuro, "Is it safe for me to assume that I have free say to how it will be done?"

"Yes. Do you have any other questions you would like to ask of me?"
"I have heard Ryuu and Koru call you Aunt Mokuro. Is it safe for me to assume that you are quite close to them?"

"Yes. I assume that you already have something in mind, then," Mokuro said.

"Yes," Rose answered with a smile.

Suddenly they heard a noise coming from the courtyard. Curious, they both walked to the window and saw that Yusuke was going through Mokuro's army with little effort. With a heavy sigh, Rose said to Mokuro, "Sorry about that. I told him to behave. Obviously he didn't. I'll go and take care of this if there is nothing else, Lady Mokuro?"

"That's all I have for now. I take it that he's always like this?"

"Whenever he thinks I'm taking too long," Rose said as she opened the door.

"Have you mated yet?"

"Yes. We've been mated for about a week," she answered with a slight blush.

"Congratulations, my dear, and welcome to the family."

"Thank you, Mokuro," Rose said as she left the study and headed for the courtyard.

Once she arrived at the courtyard, she noticed that while Yusuke was fighting the whole army, he wasn't killing anyone. Exasperated by his behavior, she strode forward saying, "Yusuke Urameshi!! You stop that right now!!"

Yusuke immediately stopped his fighting and made his way to his mate who, he noticed, didn't seem very happy to see him. When he was standing in front of her, he said, "Hi, babe. Miss me?"
"No, I didn't, Yusuke. I was having a very pleasant conversation with Mokuro and you had to go and do this," Rose said, waving her hands about to indicate his fight with Mokuro's army.

"Sorry, babe, I got bored. It was either do this or find you and do things that I'm sure you don't want anyone to see," Yusuke said with a smirk.

"God, you're incorrigible," Rose said with a small smile as she headed for the gate.

"What do you expect? I'm mated with an earth channeler."

"What does that have to do with anything," she said with a frown.

"Watching you work turns me on. Why do you think that every time you work I'm always wanting to get you into bed," Yusuke said with another smirk.

"I figured as much," she said with a sigh as she ran through the forest to their home.

'You do realize that you are going to be the one that is going to breathe new life into your species,' Gaea said softly into her mind.

"I figured as much, Lady Gaea. I guess it's a good thing that I love kids and want a big family, then, isn't it?'

'Very true. Oh, by the way, you're pregnant,' and with that said Gaea left Rose tripping over her feet in surprise.

"What's wrong, Rose," Yusuke asked holding her close to him.

"Nothing. Mother just surprised me with some information," she said with a sigh.

"What kind of information?"

"I'm pregnant."

"YOU'RE WHAT?!!!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

And that's the end, folks. Thanks to all of you that stayed with me through the whole thing. There might be a sequel but I'm not sure. I've got a few ideas rolling around in my head but I think that I'll let them develop a bit before I put anything to paper. So I'll see ya'll next time! Bye!!!
