InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silly Human Mating Rituals ❯ Five Years Later ( Chapter 8 )

Five Years Later…

“Daddy!” shrieked the little girl happily. A little four-year-old girl with long, black hair, very tiny puppy ears and chocolate eyes was running to Inuyasha. “Shippou's teasing me! Make him stop!”

 

The little girl and Shippo were running around their home near the Goshinboku Tree. It was easy to see that the little girl was enjoying the game of chase. Shippo was now eleven years old and had become Inuyasha's and Kagome's live in babysitter and adopted son. The girl spun in glee as the Fox demon managed to grab her and started to tickle her.

 

“Oh, something is telling me that you are enjoying this Keiko-chan,” said Inuyasha with a smile.

 

“No, stop, Ha ha ha…stop tickling me!?” said the grinning little girl as she dropped to the ground with Shippo tickling her.

 

“Inuyasha-kun…,” said a beautiful miko behind him. She was carrying a small pup in her arms. This little pup had silver hair like his Dad's, golden eyes and tiny puppy ears as well. The pup was fast asleep and his mother never looked more radiant.

 

He was amazed at how little her form had changed over five years despite having two pups. She still looked like a 16-year-old girl—not that he looked a day over 16 himself. It seemed that the Shikon Jewel had heard his wish and had granted her the same lifetime that the half-demon had. Inuyasha figured that if everything went well they would have at least 300 years together. That was actually a very short time for a demon, but far longer than a normal mortal would have lived. He really didn't think that he could continue his life if she had died. The Shikon Jewel seemed to understand that.

 

“Yes, my Kagome…,” said Inuyasha.

 

She sat down beside him gingerly, making sure that the little pup did not awaken. She leaned her head on his shoulder and her gentle scent warmed the air beside him. Her deer brown eyes looked into his amber eyes and then she gazed wistfully at the Goshinboku tree in their yard. “Remember when you first met me?” she asked.

 

“Oh, don't remind me...,” he added with a chuckle. “I behaved so badly…”

 

“Oh, I liked the feistiness in you…,” she said with a laugh and then she continued. “You know. I never really told you what happened the first time I saw you. You wouldn't remember it because you were still under Kikyo's spell. I had come out of the well and I saw the Goshinboku Tree . I knew that I could find my way home if I could just find that tree. And there you were. It was all so mysterious. A lovely boy, stuck to a tree. You looked like you were just sleeping. And I ummm...I couldn't help myself…”

 

“What do you mean?” asked a confounded Inuyasha.

 

“I had to touch your ears…I don't know if I have ever seen anything as adorable as your puppy dog ears. I couldn't help myself…Of course then you woke up a few hours later and tried to kill me…,” she added.

 

Inuyasha grimaced at the old memory. He thought briefly about how the tranquil life he had now could have possibly never happened if he had actually hurt the beautiful woman by his side. “I'm sorry Kagome. I really wasn't trying to kill you, I was only trying to scare you…even then I don't think that I could have hurt you…I'm just glad this rosary was put on me.”

 

“Oh, that rosary!” said Kagome with a smile as she rolled her eyes. “Will I ever get it off you?”

 

“Not as long as I live…,” added the smirking hanyou. “Though I have some ideas of some other things you can take off of me if we can get Shippo to watch baby Taro and Keiko…” His clawed hand started to draw an invisible line across her cheek and down her neck. He then buried his face in her neck and kissed it. Her scent, her sweet scent… He could never forget it.

 

She giggled. “How about later tonight when Keiko is in bed…?”

 

Inuyasha cuddled next to her with the tiny silver haired pup in her arms. The past five years had been the most peaceful and tranquil of his entire life. He had a mate and a family now. His fears of loosing her down that accursed well were gone. She was staying here with him.

 

Inuyasha had never really told anyone the true nature of the wish he had made on the Shikon Jewel five years earlier. Yes, he had wished that he could live with Kagome forever. However, he had actually wished for something more. He wasn't just wishing to live with her this lifetime. He was truly wishing to live with her forever.

 

Before he had met Kagome he had never believed in reincarnation. He now knew that she would probably reincarnate again and when that happened, he wanted to live his life again with her. No matter what lifetime Kagome or he would be living in—he wanted only to be with her. Forever… The Shikon Jewel had fulfilled his wish so far and he was quite certain that its' power would carry his wish forward for lifetimes to come.
