A/N: And so it ends. Thank you to all who have read this story. This story has so much meaning behind it that none will ever know. For one I started out writing this story with a great friend, and halfway through she left. I miss her dearly but have moved on. And so I end this story on my own and say good-bye to so much.

Chapter 17: The epilogue

It was now two years since Hezaa's death. InuYasha and Kagome both have been more then thankful that their child ended what could've been a deaster. Their son held his mother's powers, which saved them all in the end. In fact little Hiroki, wasn't in any part demon. Which InuYasha didn't really mind at all, he was just happy his son survived, along with Kagome.

Songo and Miroku also had another girl, it seemed the monk was being out numbered by girls along with his son. His hopes that this next child would be a boy. Yup that's right Sango was yet again pregnant. Which really is no surprise, Miroku did say he wanted a lot of kids.

InuYasha however, well let's just say him and Kagome are working on their second child. InuYasha is secretly hoping for a girl this time. But either way he would be happy. So as the family of three set in the meadow enjoying lunch. They were greeted by an old friend. "It's good to see you out and about master InuYasha."

"And why wouldn't I be out on a day like today Myoga? My family can't stay in the hut all their lives." InuYasha snapped back at the old flea.

"Now InuYasha, you know he speaks the truth. After Hezaa was killed you wouldn't let out of the hut even to go to the bathroom myself." Kagome said, as she picked up her son.

"Keh, like you can blame me? I almost lost you again. Your death was hard enough on me. Then I find out it was all some crazy bitches plan to feed off our heartache." InuYasha reached down and took her hand. "I-I...I never told you this but, Kagome I almost killed myself."

"InuYasha?!" Kagome said in a gasp! "Why would ever do such a thing?" Even though she'd thought of it as well.

"Well after Hezaa told me you saw everything while her and I... Well you know...did it. I felt that I failed you." InuYasha told her about how a voice came to him just he was about to kill himself.

"You know InuYasha I too wanted to end my life while Hezaa held me captive. But a voice came to me too. InuYasha who do you think it was?"

InuYasha gave her a smile. "You mean you don't know?" InuYasha asked her a bit surprised.

"InuYasha, you mean to tell me you know?"

"Of course Kagome, don't you remember when Kikyo died? I told you her final words were that she'd protect us forever and ever." InuYasha knew that Kikyo would look out for him and Kagome. After all even Kikyo knew InuYasha and her could never truly be together. After all she wasn't among the living.

"InuYasha, I...I don't know what to say. I never knew she cared about us that much." Kagome said leaning against InuYasha's shoulder.

"Well I'll just leave you two for now." Myoga said jumping away.

"Keh, damn flea. Always looking for a free meal." InuYasha said, pulling Kagome into his lap.

"Oh InuYasha, you know Myoga has helped us in our journey." Kagome said, and then started chuckling.

"Grrrrr! What's so funny wench?" InuYasha asked, but wasn't really mad.

"Well, I was just thinking InuYasha. Do you remember the time you told Myoga he could drink as much of my blood he wanted. I don't think you'd make that offer ever again would you?"

Looking down at her he simply smiled. "Kagome, I will never allow anyone to hurt you ever again. Even if it is a disease, I'll make my liver potion and you'll be all better."

"Liver potion? InuYasha do you mean to tell me that the drink you made me that time I was sick, was liver?!" Kagome asked, giving him a look.

"Well...um... Yeah it was. Sorry Kagome." He lowered his head and looked away.

"InuYasha? Don't be like that. You know I felt much better after drinking that." She turned his face towards her. "You know you should teach me how to make it. You never know I might need to make it for you. Who know, you might get sick on the night of the new moon." Kagome said giving him a grin, then pulled him down for a kiss.

A/N: And so the family has their happy ending. Thanks again to all my favs. and followers. Till next time see ya.
