Demon Eyes

Disclaimer: I am a very, very poor college student. I own nothing. I am unoriginal. I am just playing with Rumiko Takahashi's creations. (wistful sigh) I really wouldn't mind a rent-to-own deal with Kouga or Sesshoumaru, though!

Chapter Eight: Loose Ends

A few days later, after the double marriage ceremony, Kagome approached Kaede in the herb garden, with Inu Yasha trailing behind her.

"Kaede, I've been meaning to ask you… if would you be willing to help another student while you teach me about my miko powers?"

"Of course, Kagome. Wait, who do ye mean? The only other maiden here is Sango, and she doesn't have that kind of power."

Inu Yasha started to quietly back away, but Kagome's hand shot out behind her and caught his wrist. He tried to carefully pry off her fingers but her grip tightened.

Otherwise ignoring her mate, Kagome continued. "Kaede, when we mated we shared ALL of our powers. Inu Yasha is now a bit of a miko, too."

Nearby, Miroku's face twisted as an image flashed through his mind: Inu Yasha, dressed in miko robes, his silver hair tied back in a pretty white bow, with twin locks hanging low by his jaw. A serene look on his face as he mixed herbs and comforted a wounded soldier with graceful gestures and a soft hand.

One of Miroku's eyes started to twitch. He couldn't decide whether to taunt Inu Yasha or get far, far away from the terrifying image. He shuddered, and a short whimper escaped him.

Sango shot him a dry look, and he settled down.

Epilogue

Kagome trailed her fingers along Goshinboku's bark, reaching up to touch the scar left from the arrow that had sealed Inu Yasha for fifty years.

Miroku and Sango were expecting their third child now, and the oldest was already working with Hiraikotsu. Sango was determined to rebuild the slayer village, between pregnancies, and already had three families training with her.

The well had stopped working, too. Kagome smiled sadly. She missed her family, but comforted herself with the thought that she'd get to see them again in around 450 years.

Kagome was drawn out of her reverie when an arm slid around her waist, pulling her backwards into a strong, warm embrace.

"Hey," Inu Yasha said, nuzzling her neck and rubbing her swollen belly. Kagome smiled and rolled her eyes. After ten years together he still wasn't much for words. "How's thing two?"

"Finally taking a rest. How's thing one?" Kagome asked, reaching an arm up behind her to rub one of his ears.

"Our darling little daughter is switching from torturing Jaken to playing with Sesshoumaru's tail. She's taking right after her Auntie Rin."

"He's letting her?"

"No choice. Rin decreed that he has to get used to it. Their pup is due in a couple months and she wants him to practice."

Kagome laughed. When Sesshoumaru and Rin had mated, on her eighteenth birthday, she had become a full inu youkai. "Come on, let's go save him. A pregnant Rin is enough of a hormonal horror… add our evil little trickster into the mix and it must be too much for the poor old dog!"

"Feh. The "poor old dog" deserves it."

Kagome rolled her eyes and dragged Inu Yasha back to the village.
