A Feudal Fairytale
Epilogue

One year later...

Kikyou and Inuyasha were living in their own hut now as were Sango and Miroku. After much planning and playing matchmaker on Kikyou, Inuyasha and Kouga's parts, they managed to finally get Sango and Miroky together as a couple and have been together for almost one year now.

Just then, it was in the middle of the afternoon and everyone was hanging out together outside near the Bone Eater's well. Kikyou had Mizuki cradled against her chest protectively while Inuyasha had both of them protectively held against his chest, sniffing around every once in a while incase a demon attacked... or worse. He almost lost Kikyou once, he refused to again.

The Inu-tachi were either playing games or merely chatting. Life hadn't been this peaceful since before Mizuki was born. Maybe she brought out the best in them and let them have a happy life... speaking of Mizuki, she was wide awake in her mother's arms and looking around where she was. She knew everyone and was almost able to talk even at age one because hanyous age faster than humans. She was able to crawl now too, and sooner or later when she reached around one and a half years old or two she would be able to walk.

Mizuki let out a squeal as Inuyasha picked her up with a small chuckle. She was always so... what was the word? Happy, I guess, he thought to himself with a smile. She hardly ever cried only when she was away from her parents for a long amount of time. For example, if she was with Kikyou and Inuyasha was away for a week or so to slay a demon in a nearby village, on the third day she would start to cry because she would lose the smell of her father's scent, which calmed her. She loved how both of her parents smelt and it calmed her. Kikyou sometimes put her head to rest against her chest because her heartbeat lulled her to sleep.

Miroku and Sango were so in love it was almost silly. He still tried to grope Sango every day, but some days she actually let him do it now that they were a couple. But only in certain places. She didn't want to go too far...yet.

All in all, it was a happy life for Inuyasha and his friends, and his mate and... his family. He finally had something he could call a family. He was only jealous because his brother had one before he did. He had learned that Sesshomaru had brought a young girl back to life whom he had found dead in the woods one day. Her name had been Rin or something like that. She was barely ten years old, but Inuyasha thought she'd make a good mate for Shippou, actually.

They haven't seen Sesshomaru in such a long tine. He sometimes comes to check on how Mizuki is doing, but other than that they never ever see him at all. It's sad really... but that's life.

"Inuyasha, what are you thinking about?" Kikyou asked softly, placing a hand gently on his arm. Inuyasha blinked and turned to look at her. "Oh... just stuff, Kikyou. No need to worry about me, I'm fine."

"You sure?" Kikyou asked softly. Inuyasha nodded, however it didn't stop Kikyou from worrying about him. He always said he was fine when he wasn't. But she let it go because eventually he would get angry at her...

She watched him play with Mizuki and a smile crossed her features. 'I bet he misses his own parents...' she thought with a smile. 'At least his mother...he never met his father before... oh, Inuyasha...' she thought sadly, realizing what part of his thoughts must be about.

But they were going to be a family. Kikyou was going to make sure of that. They would stay a family and be that way for all eternity.
