Just because I like follow ups.

InuYasha knocked tentatively on the heavy wooden door. “Look…I'm…sorry. I didn't mean it, and yes, I was being unreasonable.” He waited a long minute before he sniffed deeply and his eyes widened. “Oh fuck no!”

A resounding thud echoed around the manor house and within seconds a very irate hanyou stormed through the kitchen and out into the gardens.

“She crawled out the window again.” Miroku sighed as he patted his son's back against his shoulder.

Sango giggled and placed their twin daughter on her husband's opposite shoulder. “It took him long enough to realize. She took off as soon as he locked her in there.”

Miroku leaned up and kissed his wife lovingly. “We can only hope our kids take after her.”

The slayer laughed and ruffled his hair before wiping sweet dough off Shippou's face.

“How far do you think she got this time?” The kitsune sucked the dough on his fingers.

Both human's shook their heads and laughed.

InuYasha tore through the meadow, following the sweet scent of his mate. He growled furiously before he found her sitting on the knoll looking out at the ocean. Taiga was near by, shredding up long blades of grass and giving him a meager glance.

“Well?!” He snarled.

Kagome lifted her gaze lazily up to his. “You should have learned by now that locking the door doesn't work.”

InuYasha fisted his hands in his hair and tugged. “Where?!”

Kagome flicked her eyes to a nearby hedge and went back to reading to her small son who was sitting in her lap. She kissed his tiny black puppy ears as she turned the page. He fidgeted and rubbed his thick black hair from his cherub face, flicking his ears in annoyance. “Is she in trouble again, momma?”

She shushed him softly and smiled against his downy head.

InuYasha was already at the hedge, his arms crossed stiffly under his arms. “What do you have to say for yourself?”

A small white head emerged from behind the hedge, and soft white ears were flattened in submission. “I wanted to go on the picnic with momma.” A soft voice replied pitifully. “I don't want to play with Tetsusaiga today.”

InuYasha's jaw dropped. “Play?” He gripped his sword tightly against him. “The Tetsusaiga is not a toy, you don't play with it! It's a tool, a wea….”

“A weapon that will be passed down to the eldest child who will bear the weight of the Truth of Life.” The small hanyou replied. “But daddy, you're going to live forever. Can't we just have today and play… I mean… learn tomorrow?”

InuYasha opened his mouth to protest then shut it. He leaned over and picked up his daughter and first-born, no more than five years old and already smarter than he was. He proudly hugged her against him and kissed her soft cheek. “Hey, did I tell you I love you today?”

His daughter nuzzled his chin as he carried her over to his family who sat happily on the knoll by the softly splaying ocean. “Yes, daddy, but right now is the best time to tell me again.”

And that's the end. I hope you enjoyed the story. It was my first fanfic, well, my first anything I have written, and I plan of going back and revising sometime, but I imagine if you are like me and get into the writing groove, you realize more ideas hit you and bang, you need to write them down too. So I'm actually working on a new story called Search for the Shikon, it will be a far cry from Cannot Be Broken, but I'm hoping it will be liked as well.

I want to thank all of you who have read my story, and a special thanks to each of you who left a review. You don't know how many times I was about to give up on this story, and then I'd get a review and I'd get my confidence back up again. So thank you once again, you are in my heart and I'm forever glad to have such wonderful support.

Leila-chan, you especially really made this story for me. With your continued reviews and raving love for this story, it really made me want to get it done. I especially thank you for your support on mediaminer. For those of you on fanfiction, I am amazed so many placed me on their favorite authors list, and even more amazed of the continuous reviews I received on there. I love you all so much.

Love long, love hard, but most of all love. Heaven is our heart's content, and it will only be more wonderful the more we share it.
