See, it's up. This is the last chapter, and is kinda small. I made sure the stroy part was at least 500 words and was a page in Microsoft Works/Word but this was all I could get...Enjoy.

Chapter 20 Epilogue

"Kagome-Sama!"

Kagome looked up from the scroll she was going over as a wolf demon ran into her study. "Yes Wes?" She asked her uncles personal guard.

"The guests have started to arrive. Lord Kale, Lady Mina, Lord Lion, and Lord Inu Yasha are waiting for you in the hall."

Kagome smile at the anxious guard. "Thank you Wes, you may return to my uncle." Wes bowed and hurried off. Alone again, Kagome sighed and neatened up her desk, rolling up scroll and putting away brushes. She and the others had been living with her clan fro a year now, and even if her father was pushing all his paperwork onto her to 'get her ready to take over', she couldn't be happier.

Thinking over all that had happened as she made her way to the entrance hall, she couldn't help but be proud. With their rightful leader back, the rainbow wolf tribe left seclusion and restored their rightful place as the ruling clan of the East. She already had secured an alliance with the West when she went to get her father from Sesshomaru plus Inu Yasha being his brother and current heir, and over the course of the year she and her father gained shaky alliances with the other two ruling clans.

Her trail of thought, being of all of her accomplishments since arriving, brought her to what today was for. Sango and Miroku finally married a couple months ago, and Sango was now about a month pregnant. As happy as she was for her friends, this seemed to be the catalyst for Inu Yasha, whom had been courting her, to finally ask her to be his mate.

They had mated a few days ago, and after celebrating in the future with her family, now had as tradition a large gathering for anyone and everyone to offer her and Inu Yasha congratulations. She couldn't help but glow every time she thought of the fact that Inu Yasha was now hers, and that she was his. Her family couldn't be happier for her either, they all loved Inu Yasha.

Arriving at the doors that would open to where her guest would all gather, she straightened her shoulders and opened the door. With graceful steps she stepped into the entrance hall and with her family by her side, was thrown into a whirlwind of greetings and well wishing.

oOoOoOoOo

"Well, that wasn't so bad." Kagome commented once she and Inu Yasha retired to their room.

She laughed as he shot her a glare while pulling at the collar of his ensemble. She walked over to him and expertly loosened the collar for him. They hadn't had much formal events, but she already knew of his aversion to collars.

"Feh, you know I hate these stupid getups."

"Yes," she smiled at him, "but you look so handsome."

Inu Yasha just huffed making Kagome laugh again. Inu Yasha looked down at her with gental eyes and a soft smile.

"I love you."

Kagome beamed up at him, she leaned up and placed her lip against his in a sweet kiss.

"I love you too."
