Epilogue: Alive?

Izyoai stared out the window as she waited for her husband to come visit her. She toyed with her flowery hospital gown as she thought about that weird dream for the thousandth time. It had been so strange and she wondered if she was going crazy. At this point in her life, it wouldn't surprise her.

A knock on the door made Izyoai jump as she was pulled rather harshly from her thoughts. Hoping it was Inutaisho she straightened up, although it wouldn't matter, it wasn't as if she could like elegant while in a hospital bed.

A nurse popped in and smiled gently. Izyoai was a little disappointed, but tried not to show it. She was supposed to be getting better and her psychiatrist told her to try and keep negativity out of her head. The nurse was older than herself and had been working for the hospital for three decades. She was sweet and jolly, sometimes a little too cheerful for Izyoai.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Tetsagia. How are you feeling today, dear?" she asked with an overly loud voice. She seemed very excited for some reason.

"Could be doing better, but at the moment, just fine" she replied a little less loudly than the nurse.

"That sounds good. Well, I just want to make sure, before I bring all your visitors in" nodded the Nurse, exiting the room.

'That's unusual. Hmmm, must be Inutaisho and Sesshomaru with some more doctors. Sighing she rubbed her eyes, feeling the little bags under her eyes. She must look like crap. Oh well, not much she could do about it now.

The door opened and she was surprised to see more than eight people file in. She hadn't had this may visitors at once since she was put up in the hospital. What on earth could the occasion be?

Everyone crowded around the bed, hugging Izyoai and the middle aged woman was shocked at who was there. Besides her husband there was her sister; Maia, Sango, Kohaku, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Rin, and most shockingly, Kagome.

"What in the name gods is everyone doing here? What did I miss?" she questioned her husband as he gave her one of his biggest grins and kisses on the cheek.

"There's a surprise for you that you're never going to believe" Kagome piped up, practically bouncing to the door.

"What is it?"

"You'll see"

The hospital door slowly crept open and a pair of sneakers crossed the threshold. A young man stood there that very much resembled Izyoai and Inutaisho. A young man who looked exactly like her baby boy had looked. Izyoai gapped bewildered and couldn't move until the teen made it to the edge of the bed, slowly sitting down.

"Hi mum" was all he needed to say. Iyzoai's arms were around him in an instance.

"My boy! My boy!" she wailed between laughter and tears.

"Things are about to change for the better" Miroku said, letting his girlfriend lean on him, which gave him the perfect chance to-

*WHAM*

"PREV!"

#########################

As Miroku predicted, things definitely made a change for the better.

With another week or two of treatment, Izyoai was able to leave the hospital and return home. The garden and house never looked more tidy and beautiful.

Miroku and Sango decided to take a break from dating when they started college, but it didn't last long at all. Maybe four or six days. Sango became a professor of literature. Something she would never have thought she would do as a female jock in her younger years.

Miroku in turn decided to be a writer. Although he said that his stories had nothing to do with private adults situations, everyone knew better. They would be getting soon, when they had enough money to live comfortably. After all, literature can be a hard profession.

Kagome became a psychiatrist and specialized in working with teenagers. It was a very tiring job, but Kagome couldn't enjoy it more. Given her own experiences, it was easier to connect with depressed teens. She was often consoled with the fact that the love of her life was always there when she got home. However, she might have to put of her work for a year or two, thanks to a little someone who would be coming into the world shortly.

Thanks to his disguised demonic form, Inuyasha was the top police officer in Shikon. He excelled in all aspects of the work, except of course his paperwork, that he still struggled with. It hadn't taken long for Inuyasha to propose to Kagome and they had married in their last year of college and university. They were expecting and Inuyasha often worried what the baby would look like. However, it wouldn't matter. Kikyou said that the spell would pass off to any children.

Inuyasha couldn't be happier. He was married to his high school sweetheart and they were starting a family together. This was the ending that he had always hoped for.

THE END
