Epilogue

 

Kagome woke up next to her husband of three years. It was funny how they met and she loved telling the story about how she clobbered him in the head because he felt on her bottom at the grocery store. Than when she turned to tell him off he grabbed her hand and asked if a beautiful creature as herself would bare him children. The thought never crossed her mind that she would fall in love with him, her best friend since childhood actually since they were infants and he couldn't believe that he could fall in love with her being that he was known over the university campus as the lead playboy.

She looked over to her husband and gave him a very quiet kiss on his cheek.

“Mrugh…K..ome…”

“Shh …go back to sleep.”

“K…”

Kagome stole out of bed and rubbed her arms from the chill that was in the house due to the winter weather. She checked the thermostat than sneaked down the hall to where her children lay. She had two boys and a little girl. She walked over to the little girls' toddler bed. Secretly, the little girl was her favorite, she didn't know why other than the fact that the little girl, now five years old reminded Kagome of her mother Hotaru by her mannerism. She walked over to the girls' bed and noticed something lying on the girls' chest.

`A cherry blossom? I don't understand… this isn't the season for the tree to bloom…so… where did this come from?'

She looked out the window and watched the pure snow falling quietly and looked at the cherry blossom again for some reason it reminded her of her dream, the whole reason for her waking up. Her mother and father had died together three years ago while in their sleep. And so it wasn't odd for her to dream of her parents for she missed them very much especially her mother. She gingerly picked up the flower from off her resting daughter and smelled it. As she recalled her dream; her parents were alive somewhere watching over them. Her mother was smiling and laughing in an ancient world of magic and folklore where she will live an eternal life. Her father had turned into a mythical inu youkai with long silver hair and golden eyes piercing at her with a loving smile on his fangs.

“Be happy Kagome, Miroku will take good care of you, he's a good guy.” He said to her.

Her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes but a smile in her heart.

“Kagome…I love you more than you'll ever know. In fact, my happiness now is due to you. Be happy this time with no taint in your soul. It's my wish for you to be happy, for you and Miroku to be happy. I love you.”

Kagome closed her eyes and felt her mother's love envelope her. She saw a vision of a little girl on the sacred tree a little girl who looks very much like her own five year old daughter except her eyes were a dark shade of violet whereas her daughter's color was a light brown. The girl touched the tree and the entire tree bloomed in white blossoms and started to float softly like snow all around her. Kagome looked at all the blossoms as they floated down and in them she saw visions, like a past life; she saw herself with the silver haired youkai arguing with him, befriending him and loving him, she saw a monk who looks exactly like her husband now except he had a wind tunnel in his hand and an extremely flirtatious attitude, she saw her mother as a child growing up as her daughter. Kagome saw herself die to protect that child and then…

`Is this a past life? Oh my god it was…I remember everything.'

Kagome opened her eyes and noticed that the blossom in her hand fell apart and then bloom again. Kagome started and dropped the delicate flower. When in her heart she seemed to hear a voice call out to her.

“Be happy mother…I love you.”

Somehow she wasn't scared anymore, she felt at peace and she knew that things were going to be ok this time around. She picked up the flower and placed it again on her daughters' chest and gave her a kiss on the forehead as well as her two sons. She wiped tears that flowed unabashedly but she wasn't sad. Her daughter Hotaru the personified jewel of the four souls gave her a second chance and this time she was going to do it right.

Kagome walked back into the room to see her husband sitting up in the bed.

“Miroku are you alright?”

He looked at her and back down at his hand and then looked around the room than back at her.

“You remember on our first date I told you that it seems I've known you before?”

Kagome shook her head in the positive.

“Well, I just had a dream…no more like…a vision of my past life. I've lived for a lot longer than I thought I did. I was a monk in the Feudal Era, a husband and father here and now…myself in this life. It seems that your mother was actually my daughter and that your father…”

Kagome put a finger to his lips and looked him straight in the eye.

“I know…it's weird but…I had visions too. I guess that Hotaru allowed us another chance to get it right.”

He looked at her and shrugged her into his shoulders and kissed the top of her head. “I guess so lady Kagome. I guess so.”

They kissed and fell asleep snuggled within each other's embrace with the light feeling in their hearts and their minds focusing on a brighter future and their love for their daughter untainted and pure with no regrets, no guilt just love.


`I can't believe that everything is over now. I will never see my parents again and yet I'm alright with that. I know that whatever they make of their life now is up to them with no influence from me. It's strange that I had to act as my mother's mother but, that was one of the wishes that I've made to come true. When I was becoming integrated with Hitomi my other self that was one of the things I wanted for my parents to be able to meet again and be happy. And my wish for them came true.

After Inuyasha came back through the well, I told him of my plan that night and surprisingly he was alright with it. He was alright to pretend to be my mother's father. Well after my uncles funeral I had come back as a married pregnant adult. The pregnant part was fake I wore a fake tummy, but anyway to my surprise Yoko who used to be my friend back in elementary school had a baby a boy baby and she named him Miroku. I was looking at my father I just knew it was him and oddly enough he knew me too even as a baby. I thought it ironic how fate would choose this person to give birth to my father, but, hey I was happy that he was here. Seven months later I pretended to give birth at home to a little girl I named Kagome after my mother.

Yoko would visit with me often and finally managed to apologize for her part in all my suffering in school. She told me everything that happened during the time of my absence. I knew she was wondering where I was, but, I didn't have to answer her. I just watched happily as my mom and dad played while they were young. It was weird to watch my parents go through life as children and watched them well into adult hood. Finally, the time came where it was alright for me to leave and Inuyasha and I went to bed that night and left our old shell bodies. We stole away into the night as young looking as when we first met. I had to go back down the well, back to the feudal ages so that the well would close for good yet, It was odd going back down knowing that as I slipped through it with Inuyasha it would close up for good it's passage way dried up forever.

However from time to time I find myself stealing away through the slip of the dimension just to look at my siblings grow up and when my parents died of a happy old age I was there in the background at the funeral. I've been alive forever it seems and now I am free to live, love, and dream and I am no longer a freak or a misfit because I am here in my mates' arms forever.


I never thought that I'd find love again. Keh, I really can't believe it whenever I have my beautiful treasure in my arms every night. At times I wonder if I'm dreaming because I never thought for one moment I'd be happy. I who was once a hanyou an abomination and an unwanted thing hated by both youkai and humans. I still remember Kikyo and Kagome, hell, I really couldn't forget Kagome since I helped to raise her, but it seems like everything that hurt me from my past led me down the path to my present. I look at my children I now have seven sons and five daughters all a perfect blend of the two of us. And I am currently working on another child. I guess we'll have to stop eventually, but, I love seeing her carrying my pups since I never thought I'd have any. I think back to when I visited Ayame with her pups I remember her telling me she saw me happy and how I got annoyed… if I knew then what I know now, I would have never scoffed at her.

Hotaru seems to be a perfect balance of herself now. More confident and self assured. There are times when she can be sweet and innocent and times where she is mischief itself. We really don't discuss what she is since we have no words for what she is. Sesshomaru puts her in a class of demi-goddess since her powers surpass any of ours. My little goddess….

“Inuyasha? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Keh, as if I'd waste time looking at you.”

Hotaru raised her eyebrow. “Excuse me?”

Inuyasha smiled a toothy grin as he swept his woman up in his arms. She pinched him and he winced.

“Ow damn it woman.” He placed his fangs on the crook of her neck tickling her to submit to him. And she did.

“No really Inuyasha why were you looking at me like that, you were thinking about something.”

“I was thinking about how I am going to get you fat with pups again.”

“Oh stop it Inuyasha.” She said blushing.

“Nah, seriously thank you for…for giving me happiness I love you Hotaru.”

He felt her aura change as she seized his mouth with her own and reached a hand down his abs to his manhood and squeezed lightly making him jump. “Show me again how much you love me.”

“Now you're talking and you're going to get exactly what you asked for wench.”

She giggled into his neck as he bounded off to find some place private to show her exactly how much she meant to him.
