Do not own Inuyasha.
Conclusion
Eight years had come and gone. Today Rin would be getting married. Kagome, Sesshoumaru and their pup had made their way to the village. It was slow going, Kagome was heavily pregnant, twins this time and she tired easily. Ah-Un carried her to Kaede's hut. The elder priestess was slowing down in her age, but with Rin as her assistant and priestess in training, she had held on longer than anyone expected.
Miroku and Sango greeted her as their five kids ran around them. Inuyasha arrived a minute later. Shiori cradled in his arms and her mother riding on his back. The two had moved to Edo a month after Sesshomaru and Kagome came back from seclusion. Inuyasha was already enamored of Shiori, everyone was giving it another decade before the two got together.
Koga and Ayame arrived 10 minutes later, Ginta and Hakkaku following behind, with three cubs between the two. The cubs and pup growling and barking at each other.
"Silence." Sesshomaru said, all noise stopping.
Shippo arrived a moment after that.
The ceremony began at sunset, the groom already waiting at the altar for his bride. Rin emerged from Kaede's hut, dressed in a beautiful orange kimono. The groom's smile grew brighter upon seeing her.
"We have come to bind these two souls together in marriage." Miroku began.
"Do you Rin bind yourself to this man, forsaking all others and honoring him above yourself?" he asked.
"I do." she replied, a joyful glow about her.
Miroku wrapped one half of the binding ribbon around her wrist.
"Do you Kohaku bind your self to this woman, forsaking all others and honoring her above yourself?" Miroku asked.
"I do." he answered, with a contented smile.
Miroku wrapped the other half of the binding ribbon around his wrist, then entwined the two together.
"Let it be known that these two have joined in marriage, and in drinking of the cup of unity that they are wed." Miroku said handing the cup to Kohaku.
Kohaku drank and passed the cup to Rin. She drank and passed the cup back to Miroku.
"May the Kami bless this union with longevity and many children." he said, a twinkle in his eyes.
A whispered 'pervert' was heard from Sango, before cheers erupted from the crowd.
Many more years past. It took a decade and a half for Inuyasha and Shiori to wed and mate. A hundred years past before Shippo settled down with Soutan, the thunder brothers little sister. Rin and Kohaku had three children, it was one of their grandchildren who married a Higurashi priest. It was another two years before they built the start of her families shrine.
Sesshomaru proved time and again that he was a devoted, gentle, loving mate and husband. In five hundred years his love never wavered, in fact it became stronger. Kagome was equally devoted, their love only building and becoming deeper. When the two met again with her family, only a week since their younger selves left, it was a happy occasion. Especially introducing their seven children, and announcing an eighth on the way.
The road was hard at the beginning, but with good friends and a loving family, the obstacles and bumps along the way were possible to overcome.
