Kagome knew she was smiling a stupid smile, but it sounded like
a fairy tale. After so much pain and hardship, Sango had finally found
not only a partner but also a husband. That it would be Sesshoumaru was
no longer so shocking. Ever since their alliance against Naraku, Kagome
had watched the two unlikely people grow so very much closer.
She tried her best to wrap her mind around the very concept of those
four sharing close to five hundred years. She failed.
"That's a long time," she murmured. "Wow..."
"It is," Sango agreed.
"But you weren't there constantly," Sesshoumaru remarked dryly.
"Oh, yes. That."
"What?" Kagome asked, confused.
"I, well ... I needed a little space and... " Sango shrugged.
"You left me," Sesshoumaru supplied dryly.
"Uhm, and.. I left him. But only for thirty years. And I came back."
The youkai slayer grinned, as if it was nothing uncommon to leave a partner
for so long.
"But you still left me."
Sesshoumaru did his best to look peeved, but even Kagome saw the love
and afection reflected in those non-human eyes.
Inuyasha grinned. "I remember that one, too."
Sango rolled her eyes. "Youkai!"
"And it was quite some homecoming," Inuyasha supplied in a stage-whisper.

//"...and it's not like..."
Inuyasha stopped in the middle of his sentence when he realized his
brother wasn't even listening, but staring off into space.
"Sesshoumaru?" he asked puzzled.
Golden eyes reagarded him for a second and then something he had
never believed possible happened - Sesshoumaru smiled.
"Sango."
"What? Sesshoumaru...?"
But the youkai had already left the room in a rush. A warm hand rested
on his shoulder as Miroku stepped closer.
"She's back, Inuyasha."
The hanyou looked confused. "Who?"
Miroku grinned. "Sango."
*
Inuyasha watched his usually so serene brother stand on the large wall
surrounding his castle, silver white hair wafting in the storm, the lightning
dancing around his figure, making him look like a quicksilver angel. And
he was looking down the path that led to the large front entry to the castle,
waiting.
"He could smell her in this weather?" Inuyasha asked in sheer disbelief,
having already given up attempts to stay dry.
He had stretched his sense of smell to its limit, but hadn't been able
to pick up so much as a flicker of their friend's scent.
"Sure. You could smell me, hm?" Miroku said quietly.
"Sure." Inuyasha shrugged, making it sound like it was the most normal
thing.
For him it was.
"See? They're bonded as we are, of course he would be able to sense
her arrival. Besides, he missed her."
Well, that was true. Sesshoumaru, despite his gruff exterior, his claims
to the opposite, had missed his mate. He had kept himself busy with youkai
matters, with being the demon lord he was, and while Inuyasha had seen
how much Sesshoumaru wanted Sango back, his pride had stopped him.
She had left him.
Not the other way around.
Now Sango had returned.
Suddenly there was a movement on the path, only barely recognizable
through the storm, but Sesshoumaru seemed to know exactly what was down
there. With a swift movement he headed over the railing into the storm,
coming to land gracefully several floors below.
Sango stood there, her long coat flapping around her in the raging storm,
watching her husband.
"Sango."
"Sesshoumaru."
"Damn, can these two be any more welcoming?" Inuyasha snorted, staring
down.
"So you've finally decided you want your warm home back instead of your
freedom?" Sesshoumaru asked levelly.
"Uh-oh..."
Sango lifted her head, and a fire started to dance in her brown eyes.
"As if I need you, you self-righteous, high and mighty youkai!"
"Bitch!"
Inuyasha groaned and shook his head. That was his brother; and his sister-in-law.
There was a blur of movement and the very next second Sango was in Sesshoumaru's
arms, and the sound of the storm muffled the sound of her tears.
"Let's go inside, Inuyasha," Miroku muttered in his ear, "we can welcome
her later."

Inuyasha nodded. They needed to get out of their sodden clothes anyway.
Besides, he could only too well imagine what kind of reunion celebration
his brother and sister-in-law would have. For the rest of the day - and
the night - since they had to make up for three decades.//

Kagome's expression was one of wonder and shared joy. "That's so wonderful,"
she said softly, smiling.
"I'm sure you have so many questions... and we'll try to answer them
all," Sango said.
She laughed weakly. "Yeah, well... one would be... about the job offer?"
Sango smiled. "Sesshou meant it when he invited you here. We are forever
indebted to you, Kagome. We owe you more than just our lives. It's the
least we can do."
"But your grades will have to be better," Sesshoumaru's level voice
made her wince. "The scholarship has only that one condition. You'll be
attending one of the best universities with it."
"I won't be able to get through the entry exams!" Kagome protested.
"I missed too much of school and I just now managed my finals."
Sesshoumaru shot her a calculating look, but it was Inuyasha who spoke.
"You can, Kagome. Because we'll help."
"I don't think getting me a place will do the trick," she commented
wryly.
"No, but study help will."
Her eyebrows shot up. "Study help?"
"What are your worst subjects?" Miroku asked.
"Uh... Geometry. And English."
"You'll need both," Sesshoumaru remarked dryly.
"I know that, but I never had time...!"
"Because you were there for us," Inuyasha finished. "And we'll repay
you for all your help now, Kagome. Without you, we wouldn't be here." He
smiled. "We'll teach you."
"You?" she sputtered.
"Hey, we went to universities," Kouga told her, sounding slightly upset
that she would think they hadn't.
Of course they had, Kagome realized. All that time...
"Yeah, well, you had a crash course in etiquette that failed," Inuyasha
taunted.
"Look who's talking, dog face. You've got no manners to speak of."
"At least I know how to spell it."
"Only because you had some tutoring in grammar."
"Which you failed completely."
Kagome almost laughed. Five hundred years and those two still hadn't
stopped bickering.
"I think I can give you a hand with languages," Miroku interrupted the
two squabblers. "I've taught some classes in my time."
Inuyasha turned away from Kouga and nodded. "That's right. As for Geometry..."
And his eyes fell on Sesshoumaru.
Kagome's heart sank. Sesshoumaru? The youkai? Anyone but him... please?
She couldn't see him as any kind of teacher and she'd probably die of nerves.
Somehow, in his presence, being a failure was even more dreadful.
"No," Sesshoumaru answered.
"C'mon! You're best! And you want Kagome on that university, too!" Inuyasha
argued.
"No."
Sango slipped an arm around his waist. "Shy?"
It got her a mild frown.
"How about Shippo?" Inuyasha mused. "The kid's quite good with numbers."
Sesshoumaru nodded. "Acceptable."
Shippo? Kagome thought. Wow...
"The moment he's back, we'll tell him. He was looking forward to today,
but something came up," Inuyasha explained to her. "We'll start tomorrow
and see that we'll get you through the entry exams." He flashed Kagome
a warm smile. "It's the least we can do for you."
"Thanks, guys," she murmured, touched.
* * *
Inuyasha had shown her around, explained Shikon Enterprises to her,
and Kagome marveled at what her friends had managed in the last five centuries.
Now they sat in the lush, green garden that was like an inner sanctuary
of the old building, huge plants and trees shielding her from the glass
and steel and stone around her.
"Beautiful," she whispered.
"It was actually Sango's idea," the hanyou explained, sitting cross-legged
on the grass, smiling youthfully, carelessly... happily. "It's a place
to regenerate, to feel at home... to experience what civilization took
away."
She nodded, understanding. Inuyasha's time had been so sparsely settled,
with no greater town or even cities.
"So, all of Shikon Enterprises is made up of hanyou and youkai?"
He nodded. "Mostly. It's like a shelter for them from what most still
have a hard time adjusting to. They were born different and this time accepts
them even less than when they were born. There aren't many real youkai
left. Sesshoumaru is the only one of his kind."
Inuyasha shrugged a little.
Kagome studied his changed features, took in the serene expression,
the way he had settled, the temper had been curbed, and his body had grown
and filled out to be more like Sesshoumaru's. Today they looked more alike
than five hundred years ago.
"Tell me about your life," she begged.
He leaned back against a tree, chuckling. "There's so much..."
And he told her about how they had realized the well had closed, his
own despair and fear, his worries and anger. He had stayed with Kaede for
another week, but with no change in the well, Miroku had finally convinced
him that to see Kagome, they had to take steps forward, not remain where
they were. They had all the time in the world.
So time had passed. Sesshoumaru and Sango had married, the great youkai
had fought some battles against others of his kind who believed him to
be easy to conquer, and for a while, all had more or less lived at the
palace. The first change came with Sango's pregnancy, which Miroku knew
of before the others, before even Sango realized it.

//Miroku narrowed his eyes, trying to grasp what was confusing him about
Sango, something small, something... and then he realized. There was a
change in her aura, in the colors, the concentration. There were two tiny
white spots at belly height, forming two fresh auras that didn't belong
to her own.
Two?
Intriguing.
Sango frowned at him and he just smiled.//

"His powers changed," Inuyasha explained when Kagome shot him a confused
look. "You know what Aiko said about the kazaana blocking his actual powers?
Well, she was right. We didn't know what he was capable of until it happened
and seeing life energy was one of the first abilities he managed quite
well."
Inuyasha sounded proud of his mate and Kagome couldn't fault him,
"He had to study a lot, went all over the land and later the world to
find teachers. He's been everywhere, from Tibet to Nepal, to China and
then Australia, the Americas... he studied with shamans and wise men, with
holy men and foreign youkai."
Inuyasha's voice grew wistful.
"We saw a lot as he traveled. I didn't always stay in all the places
he spent time. He was in Tibet for ten years with one holy man alone, another
ten in Australia."
Kagome's eyes widened. "Wow... That's why he's so good in languages?"
"He has a knack for it. It's probably a gift, a talent." Inuyasha shrugged.
"And where did you go when he was studying?"
Another shrug. "I explored the land, met people, learned some stuff
myself."
"But leaving him alone for so long?"
He chuckled. "After the first five decades or so, you realize what 'all
the time in the world' means, Kagome. Being separated for a length of time
isn't such a bad thing either. We're mated for life and our life expectancy...
well, let's say it's a lot. There were times we couldn't stand each other
and make-up sex after a prolonged absence is quite hot."
She blushed a little at the open words. Kagome couldn't comprehend how
someone would voluntarily not see his mate for nearly a decade or more,
but maybe she had to experience five centuries herself to understand even
the basics, she mused.
"So... Sango got pregnant?" she prodded.
Inuyasha nodded, grinning. "Came as quite a shock to my dear brother..."
