Dear Mama, Gramps, and Souta:

God, I miss you guys. I feel crazy, writing as if you're gonna get this… but I just had to talk to you.

Everything changed so much in the last few years. I knew I'd find Sango and Miroku already married, but they've got three children! They weren't wasting time.

The twins are five now, and I'm their teacher. Miroku was trying to take care of their education all by himself, but he's too formal, and the girls couldn't be naughtier. So the guys handle their training, and I do the schooling, and they learn so fast! I enjoy myself so much with the girls; I'm seriously considering I could have been a good kindergarten teacher back home.

Shippo's doing so well in the Kitsune Academy. It looks like he might graduate earlier! But then again, he's got far more combat experience than any of the other students. I hope he doesn't find out I wrote this, his ego definitely doesn't need any more stroking!

Rin's also living here, and she's growing up to be a stunning beauty. Honestly, she's just thirteen, and heads are already turning to see her pass. I know these times are different, but it still grosses me out, so I've had to smack a few villagers across the head to leave the kid alone.

Jinenji came to live with us, since his mom passed away, and Kaede-sama and him have been teaching me everything I need to know about herbs to be a decent miko. I've also been practicing with my powers, and you wouldn't believe it! I can make barriers now!

And Inuyasha… Things have been wonderful. Of course he's still stubborn and rude, but being married is much nicer and easier than I anticipated… I haven't strangled him so far, so I'd say we're doing good.

Oh! My wedding! Right. It was small and simple, and Kaede-sama and Miroku performed the ceremony. You should have seen Inuyasha, wearing a black formal kimono and shoes, he looked so uncomfortable!

Sesshomaru-sama, Inuyasha's brother, came to the wedding, can you believe it!? He only visits once a month or so, to give Rin gifts. She's staying here so she can decide if she wants a normal human's life or a demon's. Honestly, I'm so glad she has a choice.

Back to topic, when he showed up, Inuyasha almost snapped. But it was so nice of his only family to be there. It meant a lot.

The village is doing amazing, and we honestly don't have a care in the world. Life's good, even with sporadic demonic ambushes and soldiers roaming the area.

I hope you guys are happy too. I hope you miss me half as much as I do.

No, I take that back, I hope you don't miss me. If it hurts as much as it hurts me not to have you, I'd wish you don't feel it too.

I'll try to write again.

I love you all.
