Child of Peace

Prologue

Two years have passed since Kagome and InuYasha began their adventures. The Shikon no Tama is nearly halfway complete, while Naraku possesses about half and the remaining shards scattered throughout the rest of Feudal Japan.
Sango and Miroku had a busy two years. They could no longer hold their feelings for each other inside any longer. Miroku eventually asked Sango to marry him. Soon they were wed with a baby on the way. After the birth of their first child Nozomi (Hope) Sango was expecting their second child Koofuku (Joy).
InuYasha and Kagome not long after Miroku and Sango's second child was born confessed their deeply hidden feelings for each other. InuYasha before long proposed underneath the God Tree one evening at sunset, when the sky was full of pinks, purples, and blues. With happy tears streaming down Kagome's face she accepted and hugged him for the longest time never wanting to let go. A few months after being engaged they were married in both the Feudal Era and at Higarashi Shrine.
Kagome spends most of her time in the Feudal Era except when she gets sick, has an argument with InuYasha, and once every week, since her pregnancy began, for prenatal check-ups. Nine months had come and gone and Kagome's due date is only two weeks away. Through all the morning sickness episodes, cravings and the mood swings, InuYasha stayed by Kagome's side through it all, just as Kagome stayed by his throughout the past few years.
