Dawn in Feudal Japan Epilogue.

I'm not going to lie, I felt like crying as I wrote this. These characters are as dear to me as if they were my friends by now. Dawn is a woman after my own heart and I fell in love with Mamoru and the children too. They were fun to write and give personalities. I don't want to say good-bye to them. LOL I am a sad author indeed aren't I?


I stood tapping my foot as I looked up at the house. It was the same, same blue siding, same tan edging. I shook my head, why did I expect it to change? To them it had been three months, even if it had been 500 years for me. I felt a push on my back and turned to stare at the group behind me climbing out of the Hummer. Nagisa and Rinji were full grown at 500 years, Nagisa still wore her hair long but Nozomi, also 500, and Rinji had cut their hair short. Nozomi had her pink tresses spiked up and Rinji just had the tips up. Mamoru had his hair long but braided down his back. In the 500 years Kanna had discovered more talents. By giving us small mirror charms she had enabled us to put human faces and colors on when we chose. We wore them when we went out mostly but for today we wore our true colors proudly.

Two more climbed out of the hummer and came up to me. The youngest, Kin, was about the same age I was in human years when I had first met everyone which still put him at almost 200. He had short black hair and golden eyes which danced with his father's humor and no markings on his face though he had golden slashes on his wrists. The middle child, if you can call a child who came between twins and another child the middle, was another girl and she was 300 years old. Takara had my fiery hair and her fathers deep green eyes. She had an autumn maple leaf on her forehead. She was the serious one out of us all and she shook her head over the twins teasing their baby brother. She had also been the one to receive the magic from my mother, she had very strong telepathy powers.

Another hummer pulled up behind us and Inuyasha with a red beanie on his head hopped from the car and helped Kagome who had a blue bandana tied on out of the car. She was pregnant with their third. They had taken their time having kids; they had spent the first hundred years of their marriage just being together and learning more about each other. Their oldest child was 400 years old and the next 200. Inume was their first and looked the spitting image of her father except for the feminine tweaks genes had put in his features. Usagi, was their second had her mothers dark hair and fathers eyes. Their next was a boy and they were going to name him Yuki. Each of them wore something on their head to cover their ears. Fate had been funny, the girls all had the same human night and Inuyasha often joked that he and the son would probably both have the new moon.

Kagome wrapped her arm around me. "So you ready to see your family."

"Yeah…but it's going to be very hard to explain how I have four birth children that are full grown adults." I said giving her a smile.

The front door opened. "It would be if your mother wasn't magic." My mother said as she leaned against the door frame. "Are you just going to stand out in the cold or are you going to introduce me to my grandchildren?" She said looking them all over.

I laughed and ran forward throwing my arms around my mother. She was much shorter than I was ever since my demon growth spurt. "Oh mommy!" I said squeezing her gently.

She hugged me back and opened the door wide letting everyone come in. "This is my husband Mamoru." I said as he came up.

My mother looked him over. "You got yourself a hot man."

I giggled then led everyone into the family room. "This is Kagome and her husband Inuyasha."

"I remember you Kagome, you also got yourself a hot man." Mom said as dad walked in.

"Stop hitting on them." Dad said hugging me.

"This is Nozomi, I adopted her before Mamoru and I met. These two are our first born, twins, Nagisa and Rinji. This is Takara our second, and our youngest, Kin." I introduced laughing delightedly.

Kagome ran her hand over her big belly and put one arm around Inume. "This is my oldest Inume, and the one with Inuyasha is Usagi. The one still in me Yuki though he isn't much of a talker yet."

Everyone found their own seats with the children sprawled in odd places on the floor. Kagome cleared her throat, she was sitting on the chair and Inuyasha sat on the floor at her feet. Kagome tangled her hands into Inuyasha's hair and he gave her a loving grin. "I guess since it all started with me I should start our tale huh?"

My mom gave her a smile, "Sounds logical."

Kagome chuckled, "Well, I guess it all began on my fifteenth birthday when I fell down the well on my families shrine…"


The end... Heehee, please read and review! One-shots will be coming eventually!
