Epilogue

 

 

 

It has been a year now since the day Naraku fell, and I lived once again. I brought my family across the worlds to live with me. That reunion was hard. I explained what had happened to my family, and at first they didn't believe me, regardless of the fact I had just swept them away from their world. When I introduced them to my mate, though, that convinced them.

 

We were so happy to see one another. My mother mated with one of Sesshoumaru's generals. He is a good demon. My mother hasn't been this happy in a long time. Everyday, we talk and kid around, just like old times. My aunt and her husband live in a beautiful house in one of the neighboring villages. My aunt is a nurse, and her healing skills have been a tremendous help.

 

My uncle, I was happy to learn, has stopped drinking. I introduced him to a beautiful miko that lived just ten minutes from the castle, in the same village my aunt lives in. They are expecting their first baby in five months. He hasn't been so open in a long time. The alcohol cut him off from us, but now those bridges are being rebuilt.

 

My youngest cousin, Aidan, is just as ornery as ever. He loves to explore the castle when his family comes to visit. He's always getting in to things that he has no business being in. I'm continuing his education. He loves math, and I suggested to Sesshoumaru that he would make an excellent advisor some day. He agrees with me.

 

And then there is Anya. She is my other cousin. I healed her when I brought my family here. She is no longer plagued by her “autistic tendencies,” but her eyes still hold much wisdom. I don't know if she yet realizes what she knows. She follows the head general, Phoenix, a tiger demon around constantly. He spoils her. I can already see the threads of destiny intertwining them. One day, she will mate with that proud general. I only hope she doesn't have to go through the pain I did.

 

I don't know how I lived life before now. I merely floated through. I love my mate and pups dearly. Rin is now nine, and I can see the beautiful woman she will become. She has learned much in her studies. She will be a very skilled fighter. She and Anya practice together everyday. They are more than equals for some of the lesser demons of Sesshoumaru's army, and perfectly suited to one another.

 

Well, I have told you my story. Many have asked me in this year alone. I know over the next several centuries I will continue being asked, so I wrote it down. It is much easier to hand them the book than to retell it over and over. Oh, did I forget to mention that. When demons mark their human mates, they begin to age just as a demon would. My magic would have also insured me a long life, but this is so much better. There will come a day when I will relinquish my title, but for now I enjoy being Makai, Guider of Souls.
