A.N. Lol guys, come on! I am not as heartless as I seem. I promised you all this epilogue and so Epilogue you all get (I had so many threats of hunting me down, I wouldn't dare not put this out.) I've been planning this and the Finale for months and it's exciting to get it all out. Thank you all for reviewing and supporting.

Dedication to everyone who reviewed. I'd love to single out a few of you guys but I think that kind of this is meant for private messaging.

Epilogue

(Tsuki)

And a war was won...but at what cost? Love had conquered and yet was destroyed. Lead her Midoriko to her choice. Lead her to her own happiness, to the happiness she wished for. This is my last request, my battle weary warrior and then you can finally join your brethren and have your rest.

"As you wish..."

--

It was a room... an empty room.

All the walls were white. Nothing was in the correct focus it seemed. Everything about the room seemed to bellow urgency. Even the air was charged with impatience.

There were two women there. One with long black hair that was straight and sleek and brown eyes that were so dark they appeared to be black. She was dressed in the traditional miko garbs. The other girl was unconscious.

Outwardly, nothing appeared to be wrong with her. She sported no visible bruise, or cut, or anything.

The woman called the other's name.

"Kagome...Wake up, child...It is time to go." Her voice echoed off the walls in a strange fashion.

There was a groan that sounded in the misty room.

"Go? Go whe—" She suddenly began to writhe in pain, "Ueh! I-it hurts all over..."

The woman bent over her and cradled her torso, so she was almost in a sitting position. Her touch greatly eased the pain. "You still think you are in the miasma." Her voice was soothing and soft. It could almost be described as musical. "The pain should go away shortly..." Kagome's pain contorted face, held a bit of confusion, "Miasma? W-what are you talking about?" She cried out yet again.

Midoriko continued to question her. There was no time to let her recover. "Sesshoumaru? Do you remember who he is? Or Naraku or what happened in the last few hours?"

Kagome turned her head away, the pain almost unbearable, "What the hell are you talking about, lady? Who are they? What do you mean?"

Midoriko looked slightly discouraged. The girl had no memory of what had occurred. That might be a problem. She forced Kagome to look at her, the touch calming the younger woman.

"Kagome. Listen to me, carefully. You have a choice to make, go with me or go there." She pointed to a silver line door. The only clear thing in the misty room.

She was told not to tell her which led to where, but since Kagome did not question her, Midoriko had a feeling that she already knew.

Kagome scanned her face. "Who are you?"

She smiled, "I am Midoriko..."

"W-what will happen if I go with you?"

She paused a bit, not really expecting that question. Midoriko looked away from her. "I cannot say for certain."

Kagome looked at her and then at the door, "Why am I getting an option?"

Midoriko helped her up, "You made a wish and ended a war, the option came with your request." Kagome cradled her head one handedly. She had a feeling that there was a lot of significance in those words. But what was it?

"What wish? What war? My request was an option of life or death?"

"I know you are confused, child, but you must make a choice... It will all be clear later. Will you come with me or choose the door. If you come with me, know that I cannot come with you the full way. I am needed elsewhere."

Kagome looked at each one again and closed her eyes.

After a moment she reopened them. Her heart seemed to know what it was doing, "Midoriko...," she began unsurely, but then after a pause she nodded, "I have made my decision. I'll go with you."

Midoriko looked at her, "There are a lot of people who will miss you there."

Kagome took a deep breath, "I know..."

"Then let us go. But before we leave, thank you, Kagome. For everything."

8:00 a.m.

Inuyasha looked at his girlfriend, and feigned dejection, "I can't believe we have to go help Sesshoumaru move in...I could be spending today watching cartoons and manning it up on the couch."

Kikyou rolled her eyes, "One: No. Two: You haven't spent time with your brother in months because of that last movie, what was it about again? What overplayed plot did you guys use again?"

Inuyasha crossed his arms, "I was an FBI agent! That isn't overplayed at all!" He pouted cutely, standing up for his role.

Kikyou giggled and tapped him on the nose, "Of course not. It isn't at all." At Inuyasha's huff, she smiled. "Okay, okay...let's go. We're going to be late. He'll already have everything done at this rate. So go get Mirouku for me?"

Inuyasha grumbled his ears flattening to his head, "Alright...But if he's out there with that girlfriend of his- I still have no idea why she is going-, I refuse to step within ten feet of them. As much as I like her, the last time I was with those two I nearly had my face bashed in with a bowling ball. And we were at the frikkin' zoo!"

Kikyou merely laughed and pushed him off. "Just move, puppy."

(Tsuki)

8:10 a.m.

"Sango... I have something very important that I want to ask you..."

Sango looked over the top of the magazine she was reading, and shifted lightly on the patch of grass she was on. She adjusted her skirt. "Yes Mirouku?"

Mirouku walked over from a weepy willow tree to where she was, and held out his hand, "Remember the first day we met?"

Sango took the proffered hand, and placed down her Kokkoi magazine as Mirouku helped her up. She dusted off the back of her skirt, leaves falling off with the action.

"Your definition of important needs work," she winked, "But introductions like that you don't usually forget. I remember it vividly." She smirked, "Back when I worked at Sesshoumaru's old villa. You felt me up within five minutes of the first hello. You ended up sporting a nice swollen cheek, for that."

Mirouku chuckled, "Yeah, I definitely still remember that part."

He looked at the hand he held and suddenly knelt down, still with her hand wrapped in his. Sango blushed, a feeling of excitement swelling in her chest, "Mirouku?"

The raven haired man smiled boyishly and brought out a small magenta box. He had begged the owner of the jewelry store for that color knowing that Sango loved it. It took an extra twenty dollars and a promise to take his kids to the zoo to finally get it.

He one handedly flipped it open. "Sango, I know we have only been together for eleven months, but I feel like my world is complete with you at my side...And that everything in my life was meant to be shared with you. I love you, more than I ever loved any one. So that only leaves one last thing to ask you," He chuckled nervously and took in a breath, "...will you marry me?"

Sango gaped at him, bringing her hand to cover to mouth, in shock. She knelt down with him and hugged him tightly. She choked out, ecstatically, "Really?"

He nodded still smiling.

"Oh, Mirouku, of—!"

Of course Inuyasha chose then to interrupt, "Time to—Oh gawd!" He feigned irritation. "Sango's here!" He looked at the scene before him. "Oh...crap. Am I interrupting something?"

Sango and Mirouku blushed and simultaneously sweat dropped, nodding profusely.

(Tsuki)

9:45 a.m.

The light poured into the bedroom of a pinkly furnished bedroom.

It drifted slowly onto the face of a raven haired girl, teasing her pretty features. She groaned, her eyes fluttering open. She nuzzled her pillow with a sigh and slid out of bed, "Such a strange dream. I wonder how it finishes..."

She gathered the stuff she would need for a bath and smiled, "Jii-chan's stories must have finally gotten to me. Dreaming about a miko and such." She rolled her eyes, but she had to smile in thought of her eccentric grandfather.

She moved to her window and leaned against it peering outside. "'There are a lot of people who will miss you there.'"

She sighed, "Must have been a hard choice to make. I wonder what I would have done..."

She laughed softly, and all of a sudden, something being reflected caught her eye. She changed her position at the window to get a better look.

A man?

No...judging by what she could see, he was a youkai. What had caught her eyes were the amber tinted, frameless sunglasses he wore. Her heart beat kicked up... He was gorgeous.

"I haven't seen him here before, though, I wonder where he came from..." She hugged her bathing supplies.

She suddenly shook her head, "What am I doing?"

With one last look, she sighed and left the room.

"I could never get a guy like that... I'm just plain old Kagome..."

(Tsuki)

10:30 a.m.

Mrs. Higurashi sadly looked at the simple tombstone, as she knelt before the soil that made up the grave. Tears glistened in her eyes. "I can't believe that you're gone..."

She wiped her eyes with the backs of her flower print gloves, and smiled, "I buried you next to the Goshinboku like you would have wanted. You always loved this old tree."

The brunette sighed, "It was all my fault too..."

"Momma..."

"I was so naive!"

"Momma...?"

"It was too strong. The bag even said it!"

"Momma!"

"I never should have given you that extra cup..."

"Mom!"

Mrs. Higurashi stopped berating herself and turned around, "Yes, Kagome?" Her pajama clad daughter walked up to hug her, "Well first off...good morning. Second off...What are you doing?"

Mrs. Higurashi let out sigh and stood, taking off her dirt soiled gloves. "My favorite chrysanthemum plant died. I over fertilized it, with that super growth nonsense your Jii-chan gave me." She looked ruefully at the makeshift grave and sighed.

Kagome gave a laugh, causing her mother to put her hands on her hips, "Don't you dare say it Kagome..."

The raven haired girl burst into laughter, "Told you so!"

The older woman hid a smile as she took off her glove matching hat. She softly hit Kagome with them. "Go get dressed now, young lady...And then you can help your jii-chan with the sweeping."

Kagome's bravado diminished, "Aww!"

(Tsuki)

10:45 a.m.

Ayame looked in the mirror as she brushed her hair. She bit her bottom lip as she looked herself over. She touched her reflected face on the mirror, her over sized tee-shirt falling off her shoulder. "What am I doing...?"

She put down the brush and sighed, "I can't do this anymore." The red head looked at herself once more in the mirror. "I can't do this anymore..." she repeated firmly, her resolve strong. 'I have to tell him.'

She walked out of the room determinedly and stopped at her phone. Ayame picked it up slowly the dial tone sounding louder than usual. Her heart was at her throat, her palms moist with sweat.

She dialed in the number she didn't think she could never forget. It rang a few times, before someone picked up. There was the sound of something crashing in the back ground. "Hello?" His voice sounded sleep clogged. He yawned.

Ayame sucked in her breath, "Oh man, did I wake you up? I'm so sorry!"

There was more crashing over the line and he cursed, "Who is this?"

"Um...it's Ayame. Hey, Kouga." She greeted softly.

"Ayame? Uh...hi?" He sounded so uncertain, a bit confused.

She took in a deep breath. "I was wondering if you might want to possibly go get some breakfast together and ...maybe talk?"

There was a pause over the line and Ayame quickly said, "If you don't want to—"

"No I...I'd like to. Um...I'll pick up in thirty minutes?"

Ayame smiled, "That'll be great, Kouga. I'll see you then."

"Then it's a date— I mean—"

Ayame let out a laugh, "I know what you mean. Bye, Kouga..."

And he chuckled, "Bye, Ayame..." And she put down the phone before smiling brightly and jumping up, "It's a date!"

(Tsuki)

11:30 a.m.

"Sesshie! We're home!" Inuyasha called, laughingly, walking through the front door of his brother's new home.

He slipped through a couple of bear youkai from Suigio Repairs who were carrying a pane of glass. They grumbled and gripped on tighter to the glass.

Kikyou apologized profusely as she followed. The youkai once again only grumbled.

Sango and Mirouku strayed around outside for awhile, bringing in some of the boxes from the moving trucks. They had finished the proposal and Sango was now sporting an eye catching ring that had been the cause of a ten minute squeal fit between her and Kikyou.

Sesshoumaru called from the kitchen, annoyance clear as day in his voice, "Not now, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha frowned, "What's the matter, Fluffs? Aren't you glad to see us?"

Sesshoumaru glared at the name, looking stressed, "No. And Rin is gone."

Kikyou gasped, instantly worried, "Are you serious? When did you last see her?"

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples, his eyes closing, "Fifteen to twenty minutes ago. Totousai had called and kept me preoccupied. She probably ran off then."

When he had moved from the villa, he had left it to his employees, but apparently they could not even go a day without blowing something up. Ironically that something had been his old office.

Mirouku suddenly walked in on them, grinning. He took no note of the none-too-happy expressions "Hey Sesshoumaru ...did you realize you lived next to a shrine? It's kinda cool." Sango sighed, "I'm pretty sure he did, honey... It's pretty conspicuous."

Sesshoumaru suddenly closed his eyes in annoyance, "The shrine..." That had been the first thing that had caught her attention as they had driven up to the new house.

Sango sweat dropped, "Or maybe not."

Sesshoumaru briskly walked out of the house. If she was anywhere, she was there.

(Tsuki)

11:34 a.m.

Bzzzzttt

Mrs. Higurashi walked over to the front door, "Now who could that be?"

She opened the door to reveal a handsome, silver haired man, "Hello, miss, I am looking for my daughter. I have reason to believe that she might be over here."

Mrs. Higurashi blinked, "And you are...?"

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples absently, "How rude of me. Sesshoumaru Taisho. I just moved in next door."

She smiled, "Well welcome to the neighborhood, and come in. I'm Mrs. Higurashi, but you could just call me Keiko." She ushered him in. He nodded a thanks.

"You know, you look a bit familiar. Have I seen your face somewhere? Oh! Could you hold on a second?"

Sesshoumaru sighed as the brunette peeked her head into the living room, "Jii-chan, did you see a little girl by chance on the courtyard?"

The old man nodded behind an Kokkoi magazine, "Just one. Kagome went to take care of it. Now leave me alone! I'm reading Kokkoi! They have an article of that Sess-something boy—I never could pronounce his name..."

Mrs. Higurashi let out a laugh, "Thank you, chichue."

Sesshoumaru cringed, 'So this is where my fan-base lies...Wonderful.' But at least he had found his daughter...his sanity was slowly slipping with each second he spent in the house. He was starting to wish he had never decided to move...

Mrs. Higurashi tapped a finger to her chin, "By the way, Sesshoumaru, was it... Are you single?"

(Tsuki)

11:20 a.m.

Kagome, now clad in a jean overall dress that ended mid thigh, and a long sleeved shirt leaned against her broom, "I hope it's safe to say that we're done." She looked hopefully at her grandfather.

Her jii-chan looked indignant, "Done? Hardly, Kagome, we still have a whole other side."

Kagome groaned in incredulity and he let clicked his tongue. "Children today don't know the meaning of the word 'work'." He frowned at her shaking his head. "Back in my day, kids would work 'til nightfall, sleep until the sun rose and then work some more. But today! Bah..."

His granddaughter laughed and mocked, "Well your generation knows not of the saying...All work and no play—" she blinked looking embarrassed. She waved her hand, "Something, something..."

Her jii-chan started to chuckle and Kagome soon started up with him. But he abruptly stopped, "Oi...Did your mother let in a tour already?"

Kagome frowned, "No, why?"

"There's a little girl over by the old God Tree."

Kagome turned around and furrowed her brows together, "She might be lost. I'll be right back, jii-chan," she called as she jogged off into the direction of the child.

Jii-chan grumbled, "I bet that girl had that all planned."

He sighed and went to put away his broom, "I suppose I can call it quits for the sweeping though...like hell I'm sweeping all this by myself."

(Tsuki)

11:22

"Hi there, my name is Kagome." She smiled slightly unsurely, feeling as if she had met the girl before.

The girl, who was quite young, whirled around looking a bit guilty at being caught. Seeing Kagome, she smiled back shyly, "Hi, my name is Rin."

She seemed fascinated with the Goshinboku, but it was not a hard thing since the old tree was beautiful at this time of the year due to the cherry blossom blooming.

Kagome followed her gaze up the tree, "Well this old tree is the Goshinboku, Rin. According to my Jii-chan, it's over five hundred years old." She stretched her arms over her head until she heard a satisfying pop and took a seat on the near by stone bench.

Rin was staring in awe at the tree. Kagome giggled, "Care to join me? I'll tell you more about the tree...but you have to tell me where you're from first."

She sung out the first childishly in sing song then added the latter as the girl cheered and plopped down next to her.

Rin nodded, "M'kay. Me and Papa live next door. We just moved here." She swung her legs back and forth. Something about this Kagome made her feel so at ease.

Kagome laughed, "Well welcome to the Sunshine Shrine, neighbor." Rin smiled, "Could you tell me more about the Gotchiboki, please?"

The older girl laughed some more, "Sure, but it'll have to be on our way to your house."

Rin groaned, but conceded. She grabbed Kagome's hand and hopped off the bench.

Kagome continued on with her tale, "The tree didn't always make the pretty cherry blossoms it does today."

Rin looked surprised, "It didn't?" "Nope, according to myth, those five hundred years ago, a deceitful hanyou named Naraku had been pinned to that very tree. For fifty years he laid dormant. In those fifty years no cherry blossoms showed up." Rin looked back at the tree, "Then what happened?"

"An evil sorceress came and tried to free him."

Rin gasped, "Really?"

Kagome nodded smiling as she recalled her grandfather's favorite tale, "Yup, but the plan backfired and both were killed."

Suddenly a voice from them called out, "Rin."

Kagome whirled around at the foreign, but velvet-like voice. She blushed slightly; it was the youkai from before. Rin grinned, "Papa!" She ran up to him, "Kagome-sama was telling me a story about the Gotobuko! She's so nice, papa!" Sesshoumaru patted her head fondly, gracing her with a smile.

Her heart rate sped up then suddenly she blinked and her heart sank. Eh..Papa? 'He was taken...'

Mrs. Higurashi popped her head out of the kitchen where Sesshoumaru had exited from, "Kagome, dear, this is Sesshoumaru Taisho. He just moved here from across Tokyo, with his daughter, whom I see you already met."

She gave her daughter a sly look, "And he is single by the way." With that she slid the door closed saying loudly, "Well I have lunch to make, so I'll leave you three to yourselves."

Kagome sweat dropped, "Pardon my mother...She gets like that sometimes."

Sesshoumaru gave her a look and said noncommittally, "Yes..." 'That girl...she had been watching me before.'

He sighed...Not even an hour there and he had a stalker...

But she didn't quite fit the rabid fan-girl type. No...not someone like her, he mused to himself.

Kagome looked him over, "Hey, you look familiar. Have I seen you before somewhere?"

Sesshoumaru cringed, "No." As long as no one recognized him, he could probably get out of the shrine unscathed.

Rin suddenly grinned, a mischievous sparkle in her brown eyes, "Papa's in the magazines a lot." She liked this lady. There was something about her that she didn't want to let go.

Kagome furrowed her brows and softly repeated, "Magazines?" Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and said sharply reprimanded, "Rin."

Kagome cocked her head to the side, "What was your name again?"

Rin chimed up, "Sesshoumaru Taisho!"

Her father raked his clawed hands through his hair, "Rin."

Kagome pointed a finger at him and gasped, "That's it! You're that guy! The one my Jii-chan obsesses about."

Sesshoumaru grabbed Rin's hand, "Alright, we are leaving." Kagome blinked, "What?"

Rin pouted, "Aww! Can't we stay?"

There was no hesitance in his reply. "No."

Kagome stared after him in disbelief, "Hey!"

She stomped after them, "Sesshoumaru! Come back!" He did not even humor her and stop, "Rude-ass, stuck-up, jerk." She mumbled as she stomped after them. "Hey!"

He finally stopped at the top of the steps. It was only because his half-brother, his half brother's girlfriend, his half-brother's manager, and his half brother's manager's girlfriend had accumulated on the steps, and were seated, playing cards.

Inuyasha grinned toothily, "Good, you're back. I was getting' tired of kicking these guy's asses in Go Fish. Who's the girl?" He added as he noticed Kagome running up to him.

Sesshoumaru looked at the group, then at Kagome, who was staring at him expectantly.

"What?"

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Well here's "what", aren't you even going to say thank you?"

Sesshoumaru snorted, "Thanks." Rin poked his side, and Sesshoumaru inaudibly sighed. Inuyasha made a whipping motion in the air only to get smacked up side the head by his ever loving girlfriend.

"Fine. Thank you, Kagome, for finding my daughter." Rin cleared her throat, "And Papa?"

He frowned at her—was this what television was teaching her? "And ...in recompense how about dinner this weekend?"

Kagome smiled, "That's better. You're very welcome... but," She trailed off and crossed her arms playfully, "I'm going to have to think about the dinner thing. You seem like a prick."

Sesshoumaru lifted a brow, and Inuyasha, Sango, Mirouku, and Kikyou turned to each other all nodding in acceptance, they said in unison, "I like her..."

(Tsuki)

Saturday, December 10, 2005

9:00 a.m.

Kagome placed down the hair curler and smiled at her reflection. "Today is going to be a big day." She giggled happily as she flicked the appliance off and applied her make up. "God... I can't believe those two are finally getting married." She shook her head slightly and exited the bathroom. The rest of her family were either finishing up the breakfast they had just shared, or getting dressed.

She moved to her bed and dressed down before slipping into the light pink dress that awaited her.

Kikyou and a woman name Kagura Narakoto had designed the dresses for the wedding. They were simply A neck dresses with thin straps, that fell in ruffles to the knees. Each was hand embroidered with pink snowflakes at the torso and a third of the way down the bottom.

The raven haired girl flicked on her table lamp and she smiled as she sat down -carefully as to not cause wrinkles- to do something she hadn't done in a very long, long time.

She slid open her drawer and pulled out a thick book. She opened it up to the first fresh page she could find. It was located a bit more than half way into the book.

She picked up a pen from her desk.

Dear Diary,

A reflection. Sorry if this isn't too orderly.

She stopped to giggle at how she was apologizing to her diary.

So much has happened and so much has changed. Ayame, Kouga, and I still have a few more years ahead of us before we graduate from college unlike everyone else, but it's so... shocking how old we are. Just last week (literally) we were trying to drown each other in Sesshoumaru's pool. Now we're moving on to bigger things. Sort of...

Most of all this change has been for the better. I baby sit now, and it has helped me meet the greatest people. A group of siblings- Kagura, Juromaru, and Kanna Narakoto. Kagura (the one that helped out with the wedding dresses) is the same age as Sango, Juromaru is around twenty and Kanna is seven.

You know...after that morning that I wrote about last time, we all just stuck. It was like there was something drawing us all together. Like we all knew each other before this, as impossible as it sounds. Sango and Kikyou became sisters to me, and Ayame is right up there, too, with Eri, Kanna (I baby-sit her now. She so adorable and Rin gets along with her so well), Kagura (Can you believe she owns her own clothes shop with Juromaru? It's all their designs and it opened up just last week—Kikyou fell in love with the clothes they made and decided to sponsor them), Yuka, and Ayumi (despite the infamous three being in Kyoto we still have our sleepovers and weekly calls), even if we do have our occasional fights. (Kouga by the way should be proposing anytime now! I'm so glad the two finally got together. I had been planning to lock them in a room until someone admitted their feelings and I am very glad that I didn't have to resort to that.)

The guys are all still hardheaded idiots (well not all of them... Juromaru has his moments), but I love them all. I couldn't imagine life without a Mirouku, or a Kouga, or an Inuyasha...definitely not an Inuyasha. But even though the three of them together is basically equal to the destructive prowess of a level four hurricane, (it becomes level five, anytime Juromaru drops off Kanna. I'll never figure out how their aggressive male minds work) they make your day brighter. I only wish they just stopped drinking themselves hammered every other month. It's honestly the most disturbing thing ever.

Also...I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but I've been having the strangest dreams too... About this strange woman, a miko or something—and sometimes they're not only of her but everyone else too. They're no nightmares, the opposite in fact but they feel so real. Like they had actually happened, but that's so silly, right? Although... I have a feeling that I'm not the only one having them, silly or not.

Okay, now, I really haven't mentioned Sesshoumaru until now for a reason. I remember when I first saw him over the last week of break. I didn't even think that I had a chance with him. But now, he has the highest place in my heart.

He and Rin (Another of the little angels –don't get me wrong I've had some monsters too, but I still love them all- I look over, now. I consider her a daughter. And everyone in the Shrine loves her. Even Jii-chan gets excited when she comes over since she actually listens to his stories... She's growing up so nicely, and I think she is also in a romance of her own, now. She and Sango's brother hit it off instantly at the celebratory party. It's a shame that they'll go back to America after the wedding to finish up the rest of the school year there. She and Souta –he's getting a lot of hype for baseball by the way, so we're all excited for that- are just friends, but my little brother has a little crush of his own. One of the town kids that I baby-sit. Aww! Young love!) have made an imprint on my life that will never go away.

Sesshoumaru can be an ass at times, but he's possibly the sweetest guy I know. He's intelligent, great with kids (as funny –not to mention unbelievable- as it sounds, but he constantly helps out with the babysitting thing and does so well) and gorgeous and could brighten up my day with his smile. But of course the downside to our relationship (which just turned its sixth month), is all the publicity we get. Some people get so crazy with it that I have doubted if our relationship would last. That'd he's save himself a headache and break it all off. That was months ago though, today I could say that I love him with all my heart and vise versa, without any doubt. But I don't think I could ever forget our first paparazzi incident. ...Yes. It was that bad. We had to jump through a window, for God's sake.

Now...I could write on and on about them all, but I have a wedding to go to! Sesshoumaru should be here any minute now. Gah! I can't believe it! Sango is finally getting married! (The wedding planning was so chaotic that we thought we wouldn't make the arranged date, but we did and that all mayhem is a story I'll save for a later entry.) But before I go...we did go on that 'recompense' date (it came long before the window incident), obviously (and many, many, more) and like everything with Sesshoumaru...it was a delightful disaster.

Yours truly,

Kagome

She closed the book with a smile and opened up the drawer she kept it in. She was about to slide it in when she saw something that hadn't seen there before.

"Oh my God!"

She dropped her diary in shock as she pulled out a small velvet box attached to it was a note. She plucked it off, tears filling her eyes, as she read it aloud:

"'It is every man's hope to find that one woman who will fill the void that leaves him incomplete...You, Kagome Higurashi fit it perfectly. Aishiteru, but answer me one thing...'"

The note ended there.

Strong arms suddenly encircled her shoulders. Sesshoumaru's hands moved over hers and guided her fingers to open the box.

Inside was a beautiful diamond ring. "Will you marry me, Kagome?"

Kagome stood up and tackled him in a hug, "Yes Sesshoumaru! Yes, yes, yes! I love you too! Yes!"

Sesshoumaru chuckled and removed the ring from the box. He tossed the box on her bed and slid the ring onto her forth finger. She smiled through tear misted eyes as she gazed at him. "Oh wow, Sesshoumaru...If you keep this up, I'm going to have to redo my make-up" she winked at him, raking her hand through his hair.

Sesshoumaru let out another chuckle and bent down to kiss his new fiancé.

But Kagome had other plans. She put her finger to his lips, "But...You didn't happen to... you know read my diary, by any chance, did you."

Sesshoumaru just smiled and just kissed her. He smirked against her lips and a chuckle rumbled within in her throat. She basically melted in her arms...until she heard what Sesshoumaru said next, "By the way, love... I agree with what you said about my ass."

Kagome's half lidded eyes popped open and she blushed ferociously, "Sesshoumaru!" She suddenly gasped, "Oh...no! What else did you read!"

When he kept silent only simply smirking, she blushed further, "Sesshoumaru!" And the chase began, "Tell me what you read, Sesshoumaru!"

And on the floor was the diary that she had dropped. It was opened up to a page covered in hearts. It read:

"Sesshoumaru & Kagome

Forever."

The End.

(Tsuki)

So how was that? But who really thought that I was serious with the Epilogue? I promised one so I delivered. Lol I'm not completely heartless!

Oh man. I'm so sad that this story ended! But I have five more to fill the void, DD left behind lol.
