I own nothing.

Chapter 31- Epilog- Peace

Lisa Thompson looked around the lunch room unsure of where to sit. It was only her first day, her family had moved to the small town as her mother got transferred to the local hospital. The town, population of about four thousand people where their idea of a Saturday night was either driving almost an hour to a nearby city or bowling in the local ally. Nervous she smiled as a girl in her English class called her over.

Introductions were made, gossip was spread, and soon she began to fit in.

Hearing some girls swoon, Lisa turned to see what the commotion was all about. Walking in the lunch room were four of the most beautiful people she had ever seen.

"Megan, who are they?" she motioned with her head.

Megan sighed. "That's the Cullen and Hale family. See, Dr. Cullen is this foster father slash match maker. The beautiful blond is Rosalie Hale and the big guy is Emmett Cullen. Alice Cullen is the little pixie looking one and the guy with her is Jasper Cullen, Rosalie's twin." Lisa nodded with another gorgeous looking guy entered the cafeteria. Pale complexion, short blondish-brown hair one just wanted to run their hands through, a true god if she had ever seen one. "And that's Edward Cullen. He's practically every girls dream sex guy." Lisa just nodded. Oh she wanted him.

"Don't even think about it." Lisa turned to Brad as he chuckled. "Every girl thinks the same thing when the first see him but he's taken."

"Another Hale?" Lisa asked.

He shook his head. "See Dr. Cullen knew this family named Higurashi from his youth when he traveled with his parents. Well years ago the family was in a house fire, all died but the eldest daughter. The girl's mom had apparently named Dr. Cullen as guardian if anything should've happened to them. Well years later they died and Dr. Cullen gained custody. Kagome was there when they fostered Emmett and Edward."

"Kagome being the Higurashi." Megan stated for Lisa's sake. She then pointed behind her. Turning the young teen saw a beautiful Japanese looking girl walking with another girl. "The girl with her is her cousin, Isabella Swan. Isabella just came here last week while the Cullens arrived last month. Not much has been said as to why but since she only associates with the Cullens no one really knows." Both girls were smiling as Isabella gestured with her hand and Kagome shook her head.

Isabella took her seat next to Alice, who pulled out a magazine and the two began to point to it and then Kagome. The standing teen only laughed before leaning over to give Edward a kiss. Lisa watched as he said something, something that had the girl looking at her. Kagome lost her smile for a second before shaking her head and replaying to whatever was said.

Lisa wondered what the real story was behind the Cullen family but put it out of her mind as she turned back to the group around her.

Kagome sighed as she sat next to Edward. "Another fan."

Emmett smirked. "Girls can't help it if they fall for Mr. Perfect here."

Edward rolled his eyes while Kagome smirked. "Oh they can look and fantasize all they want Emmett. But at the end of the day, he's always in my bed with me." Alice and Rosalie started laughing, Emmett threw back his head and let out a booming laugh. Jasper shook his head while Bella only giggled.

"Just give the girl a few days to get used to the school before you scare her." Jasper said.

Kagome smirked, "I make no promises." The group started laughing again.

After school Kagome watched as the new girl, Lisa if she remembered her name was, walk with Megan, a girl that reminded way too much of Jessica Stanley. Lisa was, again, eyeing Edward in a way that looked as if she was going to fight for him…that and her bike was next to Edward who was leaning against Emmett's jeep more than likely thinking it was his. Shaking her head at the girl's foolishness, Kagome hurried over toward the others.

"She's doing it again." She pouted to Edward.

Her husband chuckled and pulled her into a kiss. "Tomorrow you can scare her."

"Is it really 'scaring' her if Kagome's warning her away?" Bella asked with a smile. The shy girl had changed a lot over the years.

"Whatever it is, I want to get home." Straddling her bike, she got a weird look from the girl as the rest of the family climbed into the jeep and Bella sat behind her. "Hold on."

The ride home was quick. Bella jumped off and into Jacob's arms. Kagome was almost tackled by two grown up half-vampires while Edward steadied her. After their quick hug Kagome headed inside while the twins spoke with their father.

Her children had grown fast, true to Nahuel's words. In seven years time from the moment they were born they had reached maturity. She was saddened to see the childhood of her precious ones fly so quickly but was happy that they would always love her. Leah and Mason had accepted that there would be no children, Mason telling her that biologically it didn't matter as his family was made up from those they chose. They still wanted a few years to themselves before possibly looking into adopting a demon child.

Leah had made great leaps in becoming friends with the Cullens. Sometimes she would think back on Sam and Emily but no longer was it done with remorse. She was happy.

Sayoko and Seth, who had grown for several more years before stopping, were happy with just the two of them. Sayoko, like any other vampire, couldn't have children but she didn't let that get her down. The two liked taking walks together and were currently planning a trip to travel to Brazil to see Senna and Zafrina. Kagome would miss them when they left but she knew she couldn't cuddle her children forever.

Speaking of other children, Kagome mused about Shippo and Kanna as she placed her bag in her room. Shippo and Souten were still happy, ruling the East as they always had. They had had a few more kids but Souten was thinking of saying enough with the children.

Kanna on the other hand had mated with Patrick. The Irish fox had been great for the once stoic demon. Their wedding had been a mix of Irish and Japanese traditions. There had been a lot of dancing, drinking, and laughing. Currently they had one child, a girl named Kagura. Kanna's last email had stated they would be trying for a second child soon.

Bella and Jacob had been going great. No children yet but Kagome felt as if it was only a matter of time. Her cousin was coming along in her training, barriers were now so easy to make that Bella could (literally) do it in her sleep. Of course Jacob had gotten used to being around so many vampires that some things that still embarrassed Bella no longer embarrassed him. He still did patrols for any nomads or rogue demons.

Hearing laughter Kagome looked out the huge bay window to the backyard. Esme was smiling so brightly that Kagome wondered if her face was stuck that way. Carlisle stood behind her watching as Emmett and Mason roughhoused. Sayoko and Seth were sitting under a tree, Seth braiding Sayoko's hair. Rosalie and Leah were cheering their men on in friendly banter. Alice and Jasper were missing but that was no surprise. Jasper often needed to hunt after school.

Feeling arms wrap around her waist and lips kiss her neck Kagome sighed. "And what, Mrs. Cullen, has you so deep in thought?"

Kagome moaned as he slid his hand downward. "Just thinking about how happy I am." She turned to face him. "And how lucky I am to have you." Edward smirked as he pulled her backward to their soundproof room. As she followed without resistant, one final thought passed her mind.

For the first time in over five hundred years, she was truly at peace.

Thank you all for sticking with me through this story. It's been a long road but we finally got to the end. Thank you all for the reviews and ideas you've given me. I will continue to write (I have another Inuyasha/Twilight idea in the works as well as a few Naruto and Harry Potter ideas) so keep an eye out. Thank you Devilsmama for being my beta.

See ya at the next story!
