Epilogue: Sesshomaru

He walked onwards towards the two who were waiting patiently for him, mulling over what his brother had said to him before he left. He wondered if it really was true, that She spoke to him. "Probably" he reasoned "as it was just the sort of thing she would do." He remembered she was forever on his case about his feelings towards his little brother; always doing her best to smooth things over got when they got bad. Sighing he marched on carrying a silent conversation with her in his head.

"Gomen…Tsuki, I really wanted to watch over him…it's just that at the time I couldn't…"

"Hush Koishii…Like I told the 'Whelp' you did the best you could at the time and no one could fault you for it. So don't start troubling yourself Maru-chan…"

"I miss you sooo much…."

"I miss you too…."

"I could….be there with you…if you wanted…."

"Please don't Koishii….there are still things left for you to do there….I can wait…"

"But I can't!"

She laughed as he heard her say, "And you call him impatient! Besides you will be rewarded for your troubles…I promise!"

"Like the way I promised you I'd look after him?"

Then before she could answer him, she was gone and all that remained for him was sound of her laughter. He smiled anyways for she was always laughing at him and it warmed his heart to know that she always would…

"Sesshomaru-sama? Rin-chan is so happy you're back…"

"I am happy too." He gave her a small half smile. "Where's that worthless Jaken?"

"He's sick too…" she weakly pointed to a small bundle lying unnoticed in the shadows.

"Well I have brought back the medicines I promised…Gomen Rin!" he said as he looked back at her. "I'm sorry it took so long to get back home… things happened that kept me there in the wegome's village far longer than I intended."

"Rin-chan forgives you…Sesshomaru-sama." He smiled as he silently thanked her.

"Sleep child…."

~

"Oi Sesshomaru! Look! It's the wegome! Can Rin-chan go thank her for the medicines? Please?!"

He nodded as he paused to turn and look at her. "Hai!"

"Arigatou Sesshomaru-sama!"

"Hurry!" he called as he watched her skip away. He smiled as he watched her stop and pick a handful of blossoms before continuing on her way.

"Oi! Wegome! Wait up!" she cried.

Kagome stopped and turned at the sound of her name. "Oi Rin-chan!" She looked up and smiled at her lover's approach. "It's only Rin... I wonder what she wants?"

"Keh! It's more like what Sesshomaru wants! Make this quick Kagome, ok?"

She rolled her eyes at his remark and was about to start something with him when they were interrupted by Rin's approach.

"Wegome-sama..." the child bowed as low as she could with a handful of flowers. "Rin-chan wishes to say arigatou for giving Sesshomaru-sama the medicines to cure Rin-chan...And here!" she shoved the bouquet at Kagome.

"Arigatou Rin-chan! And you're welcome too! I hope you didn't suffer too much as it took us longer than expected to get back."

Rin shook her head. "No! It was ok! Rin-chan didn't suffer nearly as much as Jaken-sama did!" She flashed her toothy grin at Kagome who laughed in return.

"What happened to Jaken?"

"Jaken got the itchy spots worse than Rin-chan!"

~

He was sitting there leaning against a tree as he dozed peacefully, trusting Jaken to watch her while he dreamed. They were at the edge of a small meadow and Rin had insisted on gathering a bunch of the colorful blossoms that covered the meadow like a blanket. He chuckled to himself as he drifted off, for he knew he wake up later with a crown of them on his head. As he slept on he dreamed again of her, a faceless woman-child who always seemed to make him happy whenever he had that dream. This time as lay there he heard someone call his name. Confused as he surfaced from the dream into waking; he at first thought it was his Tsuki-chan calling him before he realized it was the Wegome.

He sighed. "What are you doing here disturbing my sleep again?"

"Nothing… I just wanted to ask you a favor…."

"Nani?! By the way…does Inuyasha know you're here… bothering me when I'm trying to sleep again?" He looked at her through on half opened eye.

"Hai! Well… err...not really. He knows I'm here but I don't think he knows you are...."

"Wegome...Kah..go..may… I will not be a part of any deceit you are planning against my brother. And no it's not because I feel any brotherly loyalty to the Whelp either. I just don't wish to be involved...." He dismissed her and closed his eyes again.

"Please... It's important or I wouldn't ask... And since you're family and all... I thought...well I thought you'd do this one little thing for me...."

"You presume much...Kagome."

"Please...I'll do what ever you ask...even if you ask me to go away and never bother you again…"

He sighed. "As tempting as that offer is... There is perhaps something you can do for me in return." He smiled at her.

Not liking the fact that he smiled, she asked him to her what he wanted in return.

"Do you think you could bring me back some ramen and teach Rin how to make it?"

"Hunh?!" She gave him her best 'you're crazy Inuyasha' look before laughing. "Deal!"

"So what is it you want?"

"I have to leave for a week and I can't take Inuyasha with me. I have some huge tests coming up and I need some time to study in peace as well as take them. You what he's like now..." She blushed slightly as he nodded. "Well let's just say I'll be writing 'this answer reeks of wrongness' as well as "even an idiot like Inuyasha knows the answer to this one' a lot. So how can I get him to stay here without following me?"

"Well... I could always rip his legs off..."

"Sesshomaru! Be serious!"

"But I was..." He looked at her. "Just give him something that you've worn a lot that carries your scent very heavily... It could even be something you wore..." he crinkled up his nose distastefully. "While mating."

"Baka hentai!" she muttered under her breath as he cocked an eyebrow at her, leaving her to wonder if he heard her comment.

"When must I be there at the well?" he said a touch of amusement in his voice.

"Two days....arigatou 'Nii-chan!"

"Go back to your mate Wegome!"

~

"Oi Inuyasha!" the hanyou looked over his shoulder at the sound of his name.

"What do you want Sesshomaru?" he asked as he wished his brother would go away.

"I'm here to fulfill my part of the Wegome's request." Sesshomaru said a touch of amusement in his voice.

"Nani?"

"The Wegome asked me to prevent you from following her back to her village."

"I wasn't going there." He lied.

"Then why are you sitting on the edge of the well?"

~

"So what is that thing the Wegome gave you? It looks very small… but it smells rather pungent. I can smell it over here." He said as he came over and sat down near his brother.

"It's her pant tease..." he mumbled.

"Pant tease?" the Youkai raised his eyebrow.

"Hai...they are a small garment she wears...anno… anno… like a loin-cloth..." the hanyou practically whispered his reply.

"Baka hentai!"

"Geezer!"

"Arsehole!"

"Bitch!"

"Shit-head!"

"Bastar d!"

"How many times do I have to explain you're the bastard; my parents were the ones who married."

"Fluffy!"

"Are you starting that 'Fluffy' shit again?"

"Fluffy!"

"Idiot! Is that the best you can come up with?"

"Fluffy!"

"So when the water's done boiling and be careful you don't burn yourself Rin-chan when you touch the pot. Anyways... When the water's done boiling you carefully pour it in the cup after you open the lid like this." Kagome took the cup of ramen she held and peeled back the foil lid while Rin did the same with hers. Then she poured the water into her cup. Placing the pot back on the fire she handed the pot holder to Rin who then poured water into the two remaining cups.

"Then you take this, and make sure all the sand is together in the one side and turn it over like this." Kagome flipped the small three minute egg-time over. "When all the sand is in the bottom the ramen is ready." She smiled as Rin solemnly watched the sand fall through the tiny hour glass.

"Look! It's ready! Sesshomaru-sama would you like Rin-chan to help you?"

He nodded. "Hai!"

Rin peeled back the foil top like she watched Kagome do and carefully brought the steaming cup over to the Youkai lord. She patiently held the cup while he ate the ramen out of it. When he had finished he took the cup from her and drank the broth. As he was finishing the rest of his she quickly ate hers.

"Arigatou Kagome(sama)" they chorused as she got up to leave.

"Think you can manage on your own now?"

"If my idiot brother can make it I have no doubt that Rin will be able to make it as well."

She sighed. "Sayonara Seshomaru, Rin-chan!"

"Sayonara Kagome-sama!"

~

Inuyasha waited patiently for her return. It was all he could do to remain there and wait for her to walk over to him rather than run all the way over to her like he wanted to. Within minutes she was there safe in his arms again and despite reeking of Sesshomaru and Rin; he was happy she was there once more. They walked on in companionable silence before he asked her how it went.

"It went fine Koishii… you should see that little Rin-chan! The way she helps him it's just too kawaii for words! You know what?"

"What?" he said as he slung his arm around her shoulder. He smiled when she reached up to hold the hand he had dangling off her shoulder.

"I think one morning Sesshomaru's going to wake up very surprised to find he's got a ningen mate…" she giggled at the thought.

"Nani? You don't mean that brat do you? She's still a child for Kami's sake!"

"One day she'll be all grown up Inuyasha…"

"And all those crossbred little pups digging up his countryside…"

"Will be his!" she laughed as she looked him in the eye.

"That's evil…Kagome. But you know the bastard would deserve it too!"

"Inuyasha!"

"Ummm… do you think we could…ummmm… get some pups of our own?"

"Inuyasha!! Remem…." The rest was swallowed up as he took her face in his hands and brought close so he could kiss her. They stood there kissing like that for a while before they reluctantly stopped and headed home.
