Chapter 10- Final Chapter! Epilogue-

The island was as beautiful as promised, because it lay in the exact path of the rising sun each morning it was named Sunrise island and the temple was called Sunset Shrine as it lay on the West of the island. The animals were all tame and welcoming, there were parrots and odd little monkeys and thousands of fireflies.

Inuyasha smiled as Kagome looked around in wonder. "It's amazing!" she gasped out and laughed, her hands to the sky as if she could touch everything around her. With another laugh she threw herself back into his arms "But I'd rather choose you"

The hanyou bark-laughed and kissed her nose "Let's go, we have to choose a hut now, or maybe we should just nab the mansion… It's got to be big enough for all four of us, plus my bastard brother when he cares to stop by" Kagome giggled and let him pull her along the island paths.

Weeks later the first demons arrived on the island after hearing stories that it was a place where humans did not hunt demons. Kagome was just showing the first sign of pregnancy through her clothes and was happily tending to the shrine when they first appeared.

Kagome looked up and was surprised to see a small family of fox demons walking up the steps to the top of the shrine. Kagome stopped her sweeping and waited for them to arrive. "Hello, can I help you?" she asked when they finally got to the top.

The leader bowed and said "We have heard rumours of an island where humans and demons live peacefully, is this the place?" he had two adult female foxes with him and about six younglings ranging from teenagers to newborns. Kagome wasn't entirely sure how they were related but they were family.

Kagome smiled "Yes this is the place, welcome to Sunset island, I'm Kagome and I'm the only human here at the moment"

The leader smiled "I am Sha and this is my sister Grace, my mate Yue and our children; Kid, Tim, Harriet, Flower, Kim and Shin. We are honoured to meet you, lady Kagome"

Kagome waved all formality aside "Are you planning to stay?" she asked.

Sha nodded "Our village was destroyed and we need to start over, we would like to stay if you'll have us" they all looked worried that she'd turn them out.

Kagome smiled "Of course, there is an empty village down by the sea. If you'll just let me tidy up, I'll take you there and you can choose your new home or homes" She bent down and picked up her tools and placed them in a crate just inside the shrine. The children were chatting excitedly and the adult female foxes were grasping each other in joy and the leader was watching smiling.

Kagome smiled then called them to follow her. She lead them down a forest trail and then to the village. "We found it abandoned, there are a few repairs to be done but there is plenty of wood and my mate would be happy to help I'm sure"

Yue looked at her in surprise "You're mated to a demon?"

Kagome shook her head and pulled her kimono to show the mark "He's a hanyou, half dog demon, brother to Lord Sesshomaru" they all gasped in awe, Kagome blinked "You've heard of my brother in law?"

Sha nodded "He told us about this place"

"Well it seems he's not entirely useless"

Kagome turned and ran to his arms "Inuyasha!" she scolded lightly, tapping his nose "Don't sneak up on me and our new neighbours"

He chuckled and kissed her quickly "Sorry, love. Hey, nice to meet you, I'm Inuyasha" he offered a hand to shake and Sha took it and they shook firmly.

"Pleasure to meet you, Inuyasha. I'm Sha, this is my family. We were just looking for a place to settle in, you're mate was showing us the way" he flashed a smile at Kagome and she returned it radiantly.

Inuyasha looked at the family of eight. "Quite a bunch you've got there…" he said softly and the pointed up the hill "There are slightly larger homes up that way, take you're pick. Bigger but closer to the trees" he grimaced. "You'll have to deal with the monkeys"

The eldest girl fox tilted her head up at him "Monkeys? What's wrong with the monkeys?"

Inuyasha flashed a grin at her that exposed his fangs "There horrible little monsters, chattering all day and all night, never any peace and quiet unless you chase them away" he groaned "But they always come back…" shaking his head he sighed "If you can't handle the noise you could always look somewhere else"

Kagome hugged him "Stop it, you're making them worried. Don't listen to him, he's just got sensitive hearing, they're really alright once you get used to them"

Sha and Inuyasha became quite tight after that…

Months later the island had a total of five families on it, ranging from humans to a variety of demon clans. The islanders were peaceful and any violence towards another just because of their race was met with banishment with no exceptions.

Wolf demons had the rocky outcrops and the foxes stayed near the forests, human monks and priestesses made their homes around the shrine, a group of hanyou dolphin-fish like people housed in the sea surrounding the island always laughing in the waves and farming fish for the islanders. Then there was the original pair in the centre of the island…

Yes, life was good and peaceful… but then one day.

Inuyasha bit his lip again as his mate screamed again. She had gone into labour and he had at once taken her to the shrine so the villagers could help with the birthing. Priestess and the female foxes took her inside and banned him and any males from entering, and were now rushing everywhere to gather things to help with the first birth of the new island.

Sha had a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and let the hanyou grip him in concern. Everyone was waiting for news as everyone adored Kagome without exception.

Sesshomaru had even appeared to witness the birth of his first niece or nephew. He had often come by to check on his brother and sister in law, also his presence made the island safe from slayers and other demons who may have wanted this island for themselves, he kept them away with the mere mention of his name. Simply it was under his protection, and he would rather give an arm than see it fall into another's hands.

The demon lord winced as another scream was heard. Inuyasha wasn't doing much better, hearing his mate in pain was taking its toll on him too. Sesshomaru had a hand on his shoulder to force him to stay in one place.

The fox children were holding each other and were waiting to be useful, none was crying in sympathy and another was biting his claws down to nothing.

Yue came out and wiped her forehead. "This one's a fighter" she said as she rushed past, demanding more clothes and rags. Her daughters presented them at once. Sha caught her arm as she rushed back to go inside.

"Please, love, any news?" he asked.

Yue sighed "The baby doesn't want to leave it's mother. And Kagome's suffering all the more because of it. We'll have the babe out soon, I hope" and she was gone, in a whirl of red hair and bark coloured eyes.

Inuyasha wasn't feeling any better. Oh gods… please hurry this along, he begged silently. A long and miserable hour later a babies cries took place of the screams. Everyone held their breathes then Yue came out with a small but noisy bundle, in her arms. "It's a girl!"

Everyone cheered and shouted and screamed in delight. Sesshomaru smiled widely and slapped his brother on the back to get him moving. "Go and greet you're daughter, idiot" everyone watched in amusement as he staggered over to the beaming Yue and took the crying girl in his arms.

Inuyasha couldn't believe it, he was a father. The baby stopped howling as soon as she was in his arms, her little nose twitched as she smelt her father, she burbled and laughed then squirmed in her blankets. Yue cooed over her for a moment. "You'll have to think of a good name for her"

Inuyasha nodded, and stoked the baby's cheek with a careful claw. "She's beautiful" he said at last. Yue smiled fondly, Inuyasha looked into her brown eyes concerned for a second. "Where's Kagome?"

Yue looked over her shoulder "Inside, she's exhausted. You can go and see her now" she ducked under the door and said "Oi, clear out, the Fathers coming in" the maids giggled and packed up then left with whispers of congratulations and pats on the shoulders.

Inuyasha found his mate, propped up on some pillows and covered in thick blankets, she was covered in sweat and her hair clung to her damply, she had her head back and was slightly wincing and partly sleeping. Inuyasha knelt by her side and rubbed her shoulder "Kagome?"

She stirred slightly and looked over to him, smiling slightly "Inu…yasha… baby?" she asked softly, clearly very tired.

Inuyasha kissed her forehead and she hummed lightly, then her lips were targeted. She sighed and allowed herself to be propped up against him, he supported her with one arm and held their baby with the other. "She's right here, look at her, she looks just like you"

Kagome smiled when she saw her daughter, she had silver hair and her eyes looked brown, there was a star demon crest in her forehead but no claws or fangs, she looked like Kagome a lot even as a baby. "Inuyasha…" she whispered in awe, their baby… With a smile she tried to life her arms to hold her but was too weak. "Help me?" she asked pleadingly, wanting to hold her.

Inuyasha shifted her so she was between his legs and leaning up against his back, her placed their child into her arms and she cooed in her blankets as she finally met her mother. Kagome twitched a finger in a jerky caress. "She's so beautiful" Kagome whispered at last.

Yue knocked "Pardon the intrusion, but the villagers would like to know the name of their princess" she smiled with such motherly warmth it made them feel good in her presence.

Kagome looked at her mate and he nodded "We'll tell you, but first; Yue? Will you be her godmother? And Sha her godfather?"

Yue gasped in delight, she had a hand to her heart and then she nodded "Oh, will you- can I? Really?" Kagome nodded and Inuyasha smiled in agreement, they had been meaning to ask her for some time but it had always been forgotten or the time hadn't been right.

Inuyasha frowned then whispered in Kagome's ear. Kagome thought then nodded "Perfect. Yue?" the fox demoness looked up from her delight and titled her head to the side in a silent ask that all animals did in a way. Kagome kissed the baby's forehead "Our baby… she's Midoriko…"

Yue smiled and left to tell the island about the child, the first child to be born on this island…

Years past and the island became well known, hated and feared as well as loved. Many demons and humans raged war against it, thinking that those who lived there were cursed and that they should kill the hanyou's and other nonsense. Inuyasha and the demons fought battle after battle to keep their island safe and peaceful. And every time it was worth it, as their families were going to be forever safe as long as they won.

Sesshomaru was a frequent visitor, he protected this island from the outside as his family was there and he watched as the place grew and prospered, suffered, rebuilt and over time more and more hanyou's were born as humans and demons accepted each other. But then… a small disaster happened…

A disease had come to the island over seventy years after the pair came to live there. And Sesshomaru came to help the sick as best he could, and even then it wasn't enough. A week later he stood before two graves solemnly. It hadn't been enough, now life had come full circle…

Sesshomaru had seen many deaths and was sad most of all for these two as he could not have done anything to stop it.

Inuyasha and Kagome had both died three days ago, Kagome three days ago and Inuyasha a single day later… they had lived full and fruitful lives, happy ones too, if you can believe it. Sesshomaru looked at the grave of his sister in law and almost smiled.

She had continued to be a healer in her new life and was very good at it, living to help others; she had passed away peacefully in her sleep from the illness that had ravaged the island, Kagome left no regrets in her passing. Sesshomaru tried to resurect her again with his sword but it only works once... and he wouldn't do it to Inuyasha...

Inuyasha tried to live without her and only made it a single day before he followed her, it wasn't in any way tragic as they belonged together and he was miserable without her. They both seemed to smile when they were buried together. Inuyasha had no regrets either, they both looked around thirty and would have lived another century had fate been kinder.

Inuyasha had become the island's protector and ruler in an indirect way, he was a little hot headed but Kagome was always there to complete him, they were very just rulers and the people loved them very much.

Sesshomaru wasn't alone, standing by his side were five other children and young adults, Kagome and Inuyasha's children, three daughters and two sons.

Their children were;

Midoriko the eldest, she had long silver hair exactly like her fathers and brown eyes with pale skin, her resemblance to her mother was striking, she had a demon crest of a star in her forehead and her face was schooled, emotionless, as she looked at the graves of her parents. She wore red pants and a white shirt with light armour and a sword at her side. She had no claws or fangs and overall looked very human but she was faster and stronger than a human.

She looked about twenty and was very beautiful. She had trained to be a warrior to protect her father's island for as long as she reined here. Her face broke into a smile and she sighed. "They'll be happy together now. Farewell Mother, Father" she spoke smoothly but with emotion that made her words so sincere that this unhappy day turned around a little.

Sango the second eldest placed a flower on each of the graves. "Goodbye, and be happy wherever you are" she had long brown hair and brown eyes with slightly tanned skin. She had a cat suit on with light armour that was more modern. She had her father's attitude but her mother's gentleness. She was a slayer, she had a large boomerang to fight with and had become the new mistress of Kirara. She had tears in her eyes even as she smiled. She looked eighteen.

Kohaku the middle child he had brown hair and gold eyes with demon crests on the backs of his hands and on his feet, and dog ears that were black. He had freckles and was scruffy. He had another modern cat suit on and had a sword and a scythe on a chain, he was a slayer too, he worked with Sango all the time as they were very close. He looked around fourteen He sniffed and wiped his nose with the back of his hand "Bye… Mum and Dad, I'll miss you"

Sota the fourth named after his uncle as they looked very similar. He had black hair, black dog ears and brown eyes and was clumsy and forgetful, but he was good at playing ball and had an odd affinity with birds and cats, he had a dark blue kimono on that was styled short so he could play rough and tumble games. He played the flute a lot and he was silently crying as his older sisters squeezed his hands. "G-g-goodbye" he got out at last and sobbed his loudest yet. He looked ten.

Rin was the youngest of the family she was silent and wasn't crying. She looked at the graves and just stared. She was the most unusual of the five. She had brown hair with silver ears and brown eyes with gold around the pupil, she had an orange and green kimono on and was about eight in age and looks. She had a bunch of flowers in her hands and let them drop at her feet before turning and leaving without a word of farewell.

The entire family had bare feet apart from Sango and Kohaku, they all loved running and they adored their home and their parents, they in turn were adored by their parent's and the island's inhabitants. They were all quarter demons with the strength and determination of their father and the warm loving heart of their mother. They were all close and hated not seeing each other, making sure to meet up every month at their human night, the new moon like their father.

Midoriko was going to become the new leader, she was a born leader, but she was hesitant as she didn't want to just take it up, she was just and kind but wanted the people to decide who should rule. But right now her concern was family.

Midoriko looked after Rin with sad eyes "Uncle Sesshomaru? Could you try and talk to her for us? She won't speak to me anymore"

Sesshomaru nodded and cupped her cheek in silent comfort, he did that to each of his brothers children then he brushed both the grave stones and followed his youngest niece. She was standing on top of a hill overlooking what her parents had created, what Sesshomaru's prophecy had predicted.

All the huts were full of demons and humans who wanted to live in peace, hanyou children and adults were not uncommon here, and neither were quarter demons and other mixes, even hanyous of different animals bred here so there was no end of hybrids in this lonely place. Rin stared down at them all, they were going to shrines to offer their prays to their former rulers, they all were wearing black and some were crying, they were not allowed to see the graves yet as the relatives had more right than they did.

Yue was the most upset next to the children of the village, she adored Kagome like a daughter or sister of her own and felt very badly for the children left without them.

Sesshomaru stood by Rin and watched with her, he didn't speak and neither did she. They just watched with endless patience. Sesshomaru looked down when he felt a weight against his leg, Rin was pressing her face into his knee sadly.

He waited for her to talk. She didn't. Then he decided to break the silence. "Are you sad?" Rin nodded, not looking up or down. Sesshomaru knelt to her level and pulled her chin up to look at him "Are you angry?" she shook her head stubbornly. "Do you want to talk about it?" after a beat she nodded.

Her gaze was so wise for a child's. "Mummy and Daddy are not gone… so we don't have to be sad. But they all are. I'm the only one who isn't being stupid"

Sesshomaru nodded "You're right, they aren't gone" he looked around at what they had created and what would spread to the world in time "And they will never be gone"

Rin nodded enthusiastically "I know! Mummy came to me in a dream the other night, she wasn't talking to me or anything, I just saw her soul meet Daddy's and they were so happy, I wanted to tell the others but they don't believe me"

Sesshomaru smoothed her fringe onto her forehead "I believe you"

Rin smiled radiantly. "I know you do, you're good with lies and with truth, Uncle" she looked at the village again. "I wish they won't be so sad though, it's not right to smile where everyone doesn't"

Sesshomaru nodded again and stood up "If you want you can travel with me for a while" he offered.

Rin looked up then shook her head "The people here need me, and so do my brothers and sisters, one day I'll go with you, Uncle Sesshomaru, but I'm needed here" she smiled with her head to the side and her eyes closed. Sesshomaru fought a gasp Kagome… that's her smile…

He smiled and patted her head again "I understand, you'll be a good ray of light here"

He moved past her and to the path. Rin followed him "You're leaving now, aren't you?"

Sesshomaru nodded "I have things to do"

Rin nodded "I know, goodbye Uncle, remember to come back and see us" and she went down a trail that would loop back to the grave sites. Sesshomaru continued to the sea and then returned to the mainland. He looked back at the island and sighed sadly goodbye bother, Kagome, and all my nieces and nephews, especially you Rin. Goodbye.

He heard a quiet laugh behind him and turned to see Kagome in Inuyasha's arms, they both were smiling and they raises their hands to wave goodbye before walking hand in hand, gazing at the other in happiness and peace, across the waves and towards their island.

Sesshomaru didn't know if he had been seeing things but then the grief lightened in his chest and he knew that it had been real, Rin was right. The demon lord looked back at their island and bid his brother and his mate a final farewell.

"Goodbye my little brother, maybe I'll see you again one day. Goodbye Kagome, love him even in death and may you both guide those on the island for the years to come. Farewell…"

The End!

That was a nice story and a nice ending, even though they died. I wasn't sure what to do with them so I turned them into spirits and they'll be hovering around the island in the sequal I think, makging sure that nothing goes wrong and things like that.

I was very happy with how this turned out, now you'll have to give me lots of feedback to make this worth it, love you all!

Wordy!
