Chapter 12: Epilogue
Everything turned out in the end, Kikyo finally learned her lesson. She gave up on Inuyasha since he wouldn't react to her flirting she started flirting with the village men. But knowing how Kikyo was they refused to have anything to do with her.
The village men's wives glared at her, and beat the crap out of her. They even went so far as to tell her that if she so much as attempted to flirt with their husbands again they'll kill her. Everyone laughed at her, they truly enjoyed everyone in the village giving Kikyo the cold shoulder.
And since everyone hated Kikyo, Kikyo left the village in search of a man who wanted her.
"So mother, how does it feel to be Kikyo free?" Yasumaru asked his mother.
"It feels great Yasumaru. It's a feeling of peace I'd never hoped I'd feel. Thank god she left," Kagome replied with a smile on her face. Inuyasha came up behind her as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Kagome leaned into him enjoying the feel of his arms around her. She was glad that Sesshomaru and Inuyasha finally got along, every once in a while Sesshomaru would come to the village with Kiona, Sena and Kenta to visit.
She loved the smile on her mate's face at seeing Sesshomaru, when in the past he would give anything just to kill Sesshomaru. Koga had mated Ayame, they tended to come visit as well with their three children. Kagome was sure glad that Koga stopped chasing after her, though he still called her 'his woman' but in a more playful joking manner. Surprisingly Inuyasha didn't seem to mind so much. Usually they were arguing, but she was pleased they were friends at least.
Kiona just had her third child, another girl, she named her Maria. Ayame had fourth child, a girl. It was a nice change since Ayame had three boys. She named her Angelique, but everyone called her angel for short. She smiled as she thought about her third newly born son, that was in their hut sleeping. She named him Senjimaru. He had black hair like her own but with Inuyasha's gold eyes. It made her smile, at first she didn't even want another child, since to her two was enough. She also had Shippo to think about, he was her first unbiological child. He was growing up so quickly.
Shippo was now as tall as her shoulder, the paws he had for feet disappeared he had now had actual feet. That made Shippo very happy, he grew his third tail. In human years Shippo would be three years younger then her 18 year old brother Souta. That would make Shippo 15 years old in human years. That would bring Shippo over two hundred in demon years.
It had been a while since she saw her family. She silently wondered what they were doing these days. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Inuyasha who tightened his arms around her waist.
"What has you thinking so hard, koi?" Inuyasha asked as he kissed her neck. She moaned softly.
"Just thinking about my family and what they're up too these days. I haven't seen them in so long." Kagome said as she kissed Inuyasha's cheek.
"Want to go see them then? I'm sure the kids would love to meet their grandmother," Inuyasha suggested. Kagome smiled brightly as she kissed Inuyasha passionately.
"Thank you! You know I love you right?" Kagome said as she smirked up at him. He smirked back.
"So I've been told, let's go." Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded her head as she picked up Senjimaru from the crib they had built long ago when Yasumaru and Kyana were born. They got the kids ready saying they were going to meet their grandmother now. Kyana and Yasumaru cheered happily excited to finally meet their grandmother. Kagome held Senjimaru gently in her arms as they walked towards the bone eaters well.
Inuyasha held on to Kyana and Yasumaru in his arms as he jumped into the well, Kagome jumping in after him. A blue light surronded her just like she remembered it. She arrived on the other side of the well, jumping up gracefully she landed outside the well, all of them walked towards the shrine doors but rememeberd the smell that would hit them once they opened the door warned the kids. Kagome opened the door, it wasn't long until she heard Kyana and Yasumaru gagging they covered their noses.
"Ew! The air here is awful mother!" Kyana and Yasumaru whined in unison. Kagome nodded she knew this all to well. It took her a while to get used to her new senses but once she got the hang of it, it didn't bother her too much. They all walked to her house, she slid the door open with her one hand as the other arm held her new born son.
"Mom, Souta, Grandpa I'm home!" Kagome called out, it wasn't long until her mother bounded around the corner with a towel in her hands as she dried off her hands.
"Oh Kagome! What a pleasure to see you! Who are these adorable children? Oh hello Inuyasha." Her mother greeted happily, then took notice of the children that stood beside Inuyasha, she also took note of the baby in her daughter's arms.
"This is Yasumaru my oldest son, and this is Kyana my daughter. And this is my new born son Senjimaru." Kagome said as she introduced her kids.
"hello, I'm Yasumaru, nice to finally meet you Grandma." Yasumaru said politely as he bowed. When he straightened he looked at his grandmother with his gold eyes that looked so similar to a certain hanyou.
"Hello, I am Kyana. Nice to meet ya grandma." Kyana greeted.
"And I am Kagome's mother. If I had known that I was a grandmother I would have spent more time with my grandkids. Kagome why didn't I know if this sooner?" her mother said with a stern glare.
"Maybe because I was too busy raising energenic demon children?" Kagome said as she tried to get herself out of this one.
"That is no excuse Kagome!" her mother frowned. "I'm sorry. Inuyasha how about we stay here for a few months." Kagome suggested.
He nodded liking the idea. It had been a while since he had seen his brother-in law Souta, the old man, and his mother-in law.
"Not a bad idea. I will go tell Sango and Miroku that we won't be back for a few months." Inuyasha said as he jumped back down the well. Ten minutes later he appeared back with a grin on his face. Kagome raised an eyebrow.
"What are you grinning for?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
"Oh nothing, just that Sango and Miroku were in the middle of...getting it on when I showed up." Inuyasha said as he laughed.
Kagome made a face, "ew like I needed to know that..." Kagome said.
"Oh well, at least Miroku is getting some." Inuyasha replied.
"Mother, what is father talking about?" Yasumaru decided to ask, Kagome blushed heavily.
"I'll tell you guys when your older..." Kagome said. She didn't want to tell them what Sango and Miroku were really doing.
Yasumaru and Kyana nodded accepting that answer. If their mother avoided the question it was obvious they weren't old enough to know about it. Inuyasha found it highly amusing how Kagome still blushed at the mention of sexual activity when they have done it many times, and saw each other naked many times over. Yet she still had such modesty, at least she didn't tell the kids what he meant.
"Well come in all of you. I was just finishing up cooking dinner. I'll call Souta to come over." With those words Kagome's mother left the room. Kagome, Inuyasha and the kids walked further into the house. The table was set with all kinds of food set on it.
Thirty minutes late, Souta came walking into the house, along with a woman that neither of them had seen before.
"Souta, who's this?" Kagome asked raising an eyebrow.
"This is my wife, Haruka. Haruka this is my older sister Kagome, her husband Inuyasha, and...Kagome who are the kids?" Souta said when he saw two kids he didn't recongize.
"This is Kyana and Yasumaru my son and daughter. In my arms is Senjimaru my new born son," Kagome answered.
"Hello, I'm Souta. I guess I'm your uncle." Souta said as he looked down at the kids.
"Hello uncle Souta!" Kyana and Yasumaru said in unison.
Haruka smiled at seeing the children. Someday she wanted kids of her own. Souta's sister was gorgeous and she found herself becoming envious. Kagome had a body that anyone would kill to have, soft looking tanned skin, long midnight black blue hair, and those beautiful sapphire blue eyes. Haruka wanted to look like that all her life, so she wondered how Kagome had done it.
"So how did you do it? I mean I've never seen such a beautiful woman like yourself Kagome." Haruka said she was curious on how Kagome had gotten herself to look like that.
"What do you mean? I didn't do anything. I naturally look like this." Kagome said as she looked at Haruka with confusion.
"No seriously. How did you do it? I've been trying for years, and still I can never look this good." Haruka said as she pushed for answers.
"There's no one in the world who looks like my wife, Haruka. Kagome is just perfect in every way. Aren't you babe?" Inuyasha said as he smirked at Kagome. Kagome blushed but nodded nonetheless.
"I guess I got this way from lots of excercise, healthy food, and lots of sun and hair product." Kagome said as she shrugged.
Haruka sighed and nodded, so that's how she did it. Maybe it was time for her to try it too. She never really excercised often, or ate healthy food or got much sun and didn't use a lot of hair product.
"Haruka, your perfect. Don't change anything for the world." Souta said to his wife. Haruka smiled at him, he was the only one who could make her feel better about her looks. She had always been self-concious about it.
Kagome nodded in agreement. She was happy, they were happy, her friends were definitely happy. This was the life she had strived to find before she met Inuyasha. Even though she was met with heartbreak, painful training, and fights she still came out a strong woman because of it. She couldn't be any happier.
She had what she wanted, she loved her children. They were everything she could ask for. Inuyasha was the best husband/mate that she could ask for. He was her everything. Her everything, nothing else mattered as long as she and everyone else were perfectly happy.
