Epilogue

Two years had passed since they'd defeated Naraku. In those two years a lot had changed. Kagome had successfully gathered the remaining scattered shards of the Shikon no Tama with the help of Sesshomaru. When the young leader of the wolf-youkai returned from the North with a mate named Ayame, she had taken him aside and coaxed him into handing over the two shards in his legs. With some difficulty and extensive flattery, she'd managed to retrieve them. She had also taken the one embedded in Kohaku's back and with the help of Tenseiga, he was able to return to Sango's side, alive and well. At first, he did not remember much besides his sister's face, but as time passed, he began to remember more and more.

Sango and Miroku had gotten married and now lived together with Kohaku in the demonslayers' village. Inu Yasha had returned to the village by the Bone-Eater's Well for a short time, but soon he left it altogether, unable to stand the memories the area aroused. Shippo had tagged along with him and together, they'd returned to Sango's village. Inu Yasha stayed with them most of the time, leaving occasionally to wander. Mostly during his wanderings, he went to Sesshomaru's castle to spend time with Kagome. He knew that he would never stop loving the girl, but he'd accepted his mistakes and moved on. Most of the humans that Haru lead had gone back to their respective villages. Those who had had their homes destroyed stayed in the demonslayers' village with Sango; helping rebuild the community.

Currently, Kagome and Sesshomaru were making their way toward the village with Rin. They'd just received word that Sango had given birth to her first child.

Kagome stared up at the sky as she walked alongside Sesshomaru.

'Kagome-sama's life will be extended indefinitely… you will remain youthful.'

To her, this meant that she would get to see her family again.

Kagome sighed happily, everything was perfect.

A/N) Well, I guess this is it, a little bittersweet but hey, it had to be sooner or later. I just wanted to give one final thank you to all of you. Thank you for all of your support and I hope you enjoyed reading More Than Just as much as I enjoyed writing it.
