�The
ceremony is over. The Shikon no Tama is gone. Go in peace,� the miko announced.
As if to
emphasize her point, the barrier around the village abruptly disappeared. It
was then that they realized that a crowd had gathered outside the shrine
grounds, and both Kaede and Miroku dropped their barriers, letting them in.
Inuyasha helped Kagome to her feet, supporting her because she was still a
little wobbly.
�Are you
sure you�re alright, Kagome?� he asked.
She smiled
at him. �Yes, I�m sure.�
�Kagome!�
Shippou cried and hopped onto her shoulder.
�Oi! Be
careful!� Inuyasha warned.
�Oh, sorry,
sorry! Are you alright Kagome?�
She nodded
and smiled at the kit. �I think so, Shippou-chan.�
�Okaa-san!
Otou-san!� Yukio exclaimed as Kirara brought him over to them.
Kagome bent
down and picked up her son, holding him close as he hugged her.
�Otou OkaaOkaa
gone! I scared!�
�But you
were good and stayed quiet, and here we are all safe and sound,� she assured
him with a kiss.
Inuyasha
reached over and rubbed Yukio�s ears.
�I�m proud
of you, pup. You were a real man.�
Yukio
beamed at his father.
�Well, that
was exciting,� Sango said as she joined them.
�I can�t
believe it�s all over,� Kagome admitted. �And Kikyou merging with Midoriko. I
never suspected that!�
They looked
over to where Midorikyou was standing surrounded by Miroku, Kaede, the village
headman and a number of other villagers.
�I think it
was what they both wanted,� Sango commented.
�Yeah, and
now Kikyou is alive again and doesn�t need souls anymore,� Shippou added.
�And your
lifespan, Kagome, that�s wonderful. I had worried for Inuyasha. Inu-youkai mate
for life and they are very loyal. I knew you would die many centuries before he
did and I feared he would suffer from terrible grief,� the taijiya said.
She took
Inuyasha�s hand and squeezed happily. �I know. I was worried about that too.�
�You were?�
Inuyasha asked, surprised.
She looked
at him and smiled lovingly. �Of course. I knew your life would be much longer
than mine, and I kept thinking about how you would have to live without me once
I was gone. Now we can look forward to growing old together. Does that make you
happy?�
He smiled
back, shyly. �Yes. That makes me happy. I� I was resigned to losing you in a
few short decades, watching your hair turn silver like mine, and your face grow
old while mine stayed young. I�m� I�m glad that you will be with me now until
we are both old.�
�Now you
just need to finish that house of yours so she can make a proper husband out of
you,� Sango teased.
�Proper?
Inuyasha will never be proper!� Shippou said, then ducked behind Kagome�s shoulder.
�Oi!� the
adult hanyou growled, threatening the kit.
�Kagome-e-e-e!�
Shippou cried as he tried to run.
�Inuyasha,
osuwari.�
�Gah!� he
gasped as he hit the stone pavement of the shrine.
Yukio
looked down at his father and giggled.<
<
�You may
never be proper, Inuyasha, but I love you just the way you are,� Kagome cooed,
soothing his ruffled pride.
�Keh!� he
snorted as he stood up. His face and mouth said he was angry, but he put his
arm around her which told her all was forgiven.
�So? What
now?� Kagome asked.
�I know the
villagers have prepared a feast. Someone must have told them about the ceremony
because the village was buzzing with activity this morning,� Sango replied. �I
think we will all go back to Kaede�s hut to eat. I should also go get Kohaku
and my daughter.�
�Kagome, do
you� do you want to check the well?� Inuyasha offered tentatively.
She
shuddered. The well. So far, it didn�t look like she was going to get dragged back
to the Modern Era and forced to stay there, but she was half afraid to go near
the well just in case she had to be in close proximity for it to grab her. If
she was going to be tossed back to modern Tokyo,
or trapped in the past, she wanted it to be after she had more time with her
family and friends.
�No,� she
replied, shaking her head. �We can do it later. For now, I just want to be with
you and our life in this time and be happy.�
He smiled
and kissed her. �I love you, Kagome.�
�I love you
too, Inuyasha. So very much. And I look forward to telling you that every day
for the next what� six hundred or so years?�
He gave her
a silly grin and a little shrug. �Nine hundred at least, maybe more. I dunno
how long hanyous live. I never knew one that made it out of adolescence.�
�Well, I
look forward to finding out together.�
�Me too.�
At that
moment, Inuyasha�s stomach growled and they all chuckled.
�C�mon.
Let�s go get that bottomless pit of yours fed,� she teased, taking him by the
arm and gently leading the way.
�Ramen?� he
asked.
�I�ll see
what I can do,� she replied, hooking her arm through his as they walked
side-by-side off of the shrine grounds.

A/N: NO this is NOT OVER yet. Stay tuned. We�ve got a bit
more to go. :)
