Ok since everyone who voted said they wanted an epilogue.......here is it. sooooo sorry it's taken me so long to post it. Truth is, I've been working on a co-op with BelleDayNight and kinda forgot to post it. The new story is posted on FF.Net for the time being. It's under the screen name Koji-Belle. ^_^. I still need votes as to what fic you guys want me to post next. So far it's a tie, but my cuz, Catse2000 insists I do the crossover. I'm still taking votes for that. If you want a better summary then visit my author page on ff.net. k? Well, I guess I'll stop chatting, and get on with the show.

Diclaimer- Me no own....you no sue. ^.^

RECAP

When Kouga found her minutes later, she was sitting on a cliff, staring up at the moon and stars. He padded over and sat beside her.

"You know," she started, "when I first met Midoriko, she told me to find love and be happy."

Kouga looked at her, and their eyes locked. Ever so slowly, so as to give her time to pull away, he leaned in. She did not. Kouga claimed her lips, nervously at first, but witheld passion soon surfaced. Under the light of the moon, both Kagome and Kouga found love, neverending, and eternal.

For the Love of a Miko

Epilogue

"Hello, can I help you?" Asked a somewhat middle-aged woman. She eyed her visitor with caution. It's voice betrayed it's sex as that of a female, but aside from that fact, the identity was consealed beneath a heavy cloak.

"Yes, I need you to make me a body of clay and ash."

"And whose soul will I be resurecting?" She replied somewhat stunned.

"No one's. I'll be performing the ceremony myself. I just need the body." The even voice never betrayed an ounce of emotion during the exchange.

"Oh, well then, of whome shall I make it the likeness of? Also, I will require the bone and ash of the deceased."

"The miko Kikyo." She said as a small pouch was tossed towards the witch. Silently, Urasame oppened the parcel, only to reveal the bone and ash that was required in the process. With a nod, she set about her task of cooking the remains with the clay needed in the construction of the body.

Inuyasha sighed for what had seemed to be the billionth time that day. He sat on his favorite branch of the godtree contemplating his life. It was so odd not having to worry. He had been doing it for so long that now, he was lost as to how to continue. Aside from the village there was no one left to protect. Kagome and Shippo remained with the wolves. Sango and Miroku left for the ruins of the Taijia village with Kirara. Funny how things worked out. Inuyasha watched as the sun rose to greet the new day. The villagers were waking and begining their chores. Here life was a simple routine. Things hadn't changed in over fifty years, and would no doubt remain the same even after he was old and gone. At least as long as he had any say in the matter.

Suddenly a familiar smell wafted in his nose. It smelled similar to the resurected body of Kikyo, but it was off some. It resembled more of her true scent, rather than the disgusting stench he forced himself to accept. His eyes shot up when a familiar voice sounded. It WAS Kikyo!

"Inuyasha....."

"Kikyo.....how......when.......who?"

"I was ressurected again by Urasame, apprentice to Urasue."

"But that would meen.....KAGOME!!!" Inuyasha made to dash off towards the wolf den, but Kikyo's words stopped him.

"She is fine. It is not her soul that I harbor, but my own. She is not my reincarnation as everyone thought. I now have my true soul. I must appologize, Inuyasha, for all the grief that I may have caused when last I walked."

"Kikyo....." Inuyasha ran to her and embraced her. He was needed once more. He was needed by Kikyo, the real Kikyo.

````````````````````````````````````````````````

Kagome returned to the dens from her little 'trip'. Shippo ran up and gave his mother a 'bear hug' as she called it. All was right in the world for the kit. He finally had a family. Kagome chuckled at her kit's antics before settling him down.

"How did your visit with Urasame go?" (Now honestly, how many of you guys didn't see that one coming? ^.^)

"It went fine Shippo. Did you behave while I was gone?"

"Uhhh huh. I taught the wolf pups how to play tag. we had fun until Hakkaku and Ginta decided to play along. They messed everything up." Shippo gave a little pout as he relayed how the duo managed to trip everyone up, and how they didn't play fair. Said pair of wolf demons slunk away from their mistress, fearful of whatever punishment she would subjugate them to. Thankfully Kagome just laughed and gave her son a quick pat. She turned, and scanned the area for her mate.

Kagome gave a startled yelp when two arms slunk around her waist. She relaxed though when she recognized them as belonging to Kouga.

"Mmmm.....how did it go?" He asked while he nuzzled his mark on her neck. Not releasing his hold.

"Fine. I wish I could see his face when she shows up." Kagome chuckled, "Now that I think about it, finding her soul, really wasn't so hard. Urasue was just looking in the wrong place for it. That and she wasn't of a pure heart. Who would have thought that the protectors of the jewel would have their own form of heaven. Guess it's the Kami's way of apologizing for what the guardians have to endure during life. All I had to do was ask, and she practically jumped into her new body. I even help with her scent."

"You were too good to inukurro."

"When will you get over your little animosity towards him. Inuyasha feels bad enough as it is. Besides you got me in the end."

At this Kouga smirked. "Damn right I did."

Kagome gave him a playful slap on his cheek. It wasn't nearly as hard as when she had first met him and he proclaimed her as 'his'. That was one thing she was going to have to work with him on. She was still a liberated woman from the future, with her own ideals. She was not an item to be possessed. 'Well I guess some things never change' she thought dryly.

Shippo sat back and watched his new father as he continued to nuzzle his mother's neck. Sure it was weird considering the guy as a father, especially since he tried to feed him to his wolves, but he deserved a chance. It's not like the demon could ever replace his real father, but it was nice to at least have someone there when needed. He saw Kagome and Kouga begin to walk off to a more secluded spot away from prying eyes. Shippo considered following, but decided he wanted to LIVE to see whatever siblings may come in the future. Yep all was right with the world.

FIN
