Ok guys, here's the epilogue. This story has come to an end. :(

Epilogue

"Hey! That's enough of that, ya hear?" Inuyasha snatched up Taisho, who was currently yanking on his ear. Taisho just giggled up at him, his own black ears twitching atop his head.

I just smiled, where I was hanging up the laundry to dry. "Put him down, Inuyasha. He's just playing with you because you've got the same ears."

"Mama! Will I get a sword one day?" Taisho ran over to me, hugging my legs and looking up at me with his large golden eyes.

"Yeah, if you take after your old man." Inuyasha grinned down at his son, looking proud. I just smiled to myself again, shaking my head at them. Taisho was our only son, while Miroku had twin girls and a baby boy. Both of their twin girls were as old as Taisho, and they both seemed quite in love with him. It was funny.

Rin lived with Miroku and Sango now that they were married, and Miroku looked after Rin as if she was his own, happy to be a father to her. It had been three years since everything had happened, and she was older now, and she helped her foster parents look after her step brother and sisters, but I knew Rin loved every minute of it.

"Is Inuyasha corrupting him again?" Sango walked over from her hut with her little boy strapped to her front, smiling at us.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course he is. Taisho is going to turn out just like his father."

Sango laughed, and Miroku and Rin joined us a moment later, with the two twin girls giggling as they ran after Taisho, playing in the grass.

Inuyasha moved to my side. "It's strange to think it's already been three years." I said softly, as I watched three year old Taisho play with the girls.

"Are you hoping things turned out differently?" Inuyasha wrapped his arm around me, as Sango and Miroku moved to my other side.

"Definitely not." I smiled over at him. "I'm happy." I said softly. Inuyasha's gaze softened, and he smiled back. He had been doing that a lot since we'd gotten married three years ago. He had grown so much nicer and gentler, though he still had the rough side to him that I loved.

"I can't wait until our son grows older. I'm going to teach him everything. He's gonna have a sword of his own." Inuyasha began to ramble, and I just rolled my eyes. His rambling of such things was normal behavior now.

"I have quite a few things I can teach my son." Miroku piped up slyly, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"You mean your womanizing ways!" Sango said, shooting daggers in Miroku's direction.

Miroku laughed nervously. "Of course not. Why, how can you be so cruel, accusing me of such a thing?"

"Tch! You're just a lecher! Always have been, always will be!" Inuyasha replied.

"If your son grows up to be like you, then he'll just swing his sword wildly at everything and leave a path of destruction, whether it be good or bad." Miroku dared to comment, and Sango and I giggled as Inuyasha turned on him.

"What did you say!"

"Oh look. The twins require my attention." Miroku danced away after Sango as she walked over to him.

Inuyasha growled, and was about to go after him, but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back around to face me, and kissed him lovingly. His eyes closed and he kissed me back, and we ignored Rin's groans and our son's curious eyes.

When I pulled back, I said, "If your son grows up to be just like you, he's going to have to chase women off with a stick."

Inuyasha snorted but blushed. "Since when have I ever had to beat any women off?"

I laughed. "Since now." I kissed him again.

When I pulled back, he was grinning. "But I don't want to beat this one off."

"Good. Because she's going to be around for a long time." I said softly. Inuyasha just smiled and I kissed him a third time. This is how love is supposed to be. Everything ties together, in the end. I thought. I'll always love you, Inuyasha. Until the end of time.

As all of us retired to our huts with our families for the night, the moon rose high in the sky, and the forest was peaceful, the leaves rustling lightly with the wind.

Silence fell over the vast wood . . . for a time.

The End

All right. So there's the epilogue. I'm sure most of you won't be surprised by the ending because honestly, who didn't see that coming, haha? There will not be a sequel to this story, so no one ask for one. There really wouldn't be a point, since they're married and have a kid. And also, I pretty much never write sequels if the couple ends up together in the first story. I just lose interest, sadly.

But also, like I said before, and I'm going to keep pestering about this just so you guys know, I WILL write one-shots for you guys if you're willing to private message me with the idea. As long as they aren't too bizarre and uh . . . kinky, I'll do them. I already told you what pairings I will do. If they are any other pairings than the ones mentioned, then I will not do them. So if you guys want me to write oneshots while you wait for me to finish up my next story, I'd be happy to give it a shot. I'll dedicate it to you and everything. :P

So, everyone let me know what you thought about the story overall in a review. :P Thanks for reading.
