This is it!

Alright, so I am currently working on TWO stories right now.

One is a AU, that takes place in early 1900's(Striking a Deal With the Devil)

The second is actually a sequel to this one. ^_^

Stay tuned and if you have any ideas to throw at me, send me a private message!

I love to hear new ideas and you can ask anyone who knows me that I am compulsive plunnie maker.

Thank you so much for sticking with me as I finished this story. This was my very first fanfiction, so I am really happy so many people enjoyed it. ^_^

Epilogue

Kagome grinned as she tugged nervously on the sleeves of her kimono. She was in the dojo with Isamu. She was patiently waiting for him to end the scrimmage with Shippo. "You seem happy today," Isamu stated, "much happier than the last few days."

That was true. Sesshoumaru had gone to the East with Ryuichi, the new taiyoukai of the Eastern House. Unfortunately, she had not been able to go. She wanted to spend time with Hazuki and Shippo, knowing they would both grow up at any moment. Plus, she added, staring down at her swollen belly, I don't want to risk anything happening to you guys.

Kagome leaned against the wall. Surprise always filled her thinking of it. Twins, she was having two sons. She grinned to herself, but looked at Shippo with pride. He was battling Isamu well.

"He's supposed to come home today," Kagome got out with a grin. Isamu chuckled leaning on his sword.

Shippo wiped the sweat from his brow. "Should we call it quits?" He asked, leaning the sword against the wall.

Isamu nodded but Kagome stood up with an evil smile. "C-Can we fool around a bit? Nothing too serious, just those stances you taught me?" Kagome asked nervously.

Isamu looked like he wanted to argue, but put his metal sword down in exchange for a wooden one. "Just in case," Isamu returned.

Kagome let her energy fill the room instantly, taking in their presence as she got in to the first stand. Her feet were spread apart, fingers wrapped around the sword in front of her. "Is this alright?" Kagome asked, trying to keep her energy around her back.

Isamu walked around her to examine the stance. Carefully, he nudged the energy with his sword. It was a soft poke, but Kagome was able to feel it. She turned, as fast as any careful pregnant woman could, and collided her sword with his.

"Good," Isamu said before erupting in laughter, "I-I can't take you seriously." His eyes went to her belly and Kagome pouted. "Let us return to the kitchen for a meal," he explained, trying to cut off his laughter.

"Yes, I do think that would be smart, considering I am about to kill my head guard," the voice caressed her and she turned around. Sesshoumaru stood there with a frown on his lips. "Is this what you do when I'm gone? Play with other dogs' swords?"

Kagome choked on the joke. She flushed and shook her head. "No," Kagome murmured as she walked up to him. He opened his arms to invite her into them.

Kagome welcomingly accepted. She nuzzled into his chest. "How is Ryuichi?" She asked. Sesshoumaru pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

"He is happy," Sesshoumaru answered, "I have given him the scrolls Toran had. He wished to read them for himself. They contained all of Tatsuya's orders throughout the Great War, which inevitably led to his father's death."

Kagome nodded. She was shocked to learn that he had killed his mentor, but had understood the meaning in his actions. He wanted revenge for the father that was no longer in his life. Kagome sighed, snuggling deeper into his embrace.

"Are you hungry?" Kagome asked curiously. She felt him shake his head against hers. His arms left her as he began to walk into the hall.

Kagome followed, reaching up to tangle her fingers into his tail. He chuckled over his shoulder. "Isamu told me that he was able to clean up the last of the army," Kagome mumbled.

It was sad really. Towards the beginning of this adventure, she had wanted nothing more than to see it over quickly. Now, she felt bored. She woke up everyday, sparred with Isamu, played with Hazuki and Shippo, and then went back to bed after visiting Gin.

"It is almost nighttime already," she muttered, "why did you get back so late?" She asked quietly, almost worriedly.

Sesshoumaru shrugged his shoulders as he stopped outside his quarters. Kagome chewed on her inner cheek. He opened the door and she slid under his arm to enter. Instantly, she sat on the bed and rubbed the soles of her feet.

"Why are your feet always sore?" Sesshoumaru asked curiously, pulling off his armor and setting it on the trunk at the foot of his bed.

"Because they are small, and I am big," she returned. She looked up at Sesshoumaru suddenly, "Hazuki talks now, full sentences really. Akemi is working with her on reading."

"Yes, while we're talking about Hazuki, would you mind telling me what happened to the gardens?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Kagome chuckled at the previous day's events. Akemi and her had been working with Hazuki on reading. Hazuki had gotten upset and all but burned the entire garden to the ground. "Give her a break," Kagome said, "She was frustrated!"

Sesshoumaru sighed, but his face didn't give any emotion away. "We can't have a child that is so out of control," he growled out.

"Oh? I bet you were wielding your whip as if it were a lasso!" Kagome quipped back instantly. Even she saw the sheepish look that flashed across his eyes. She crossed her arms over her breasts with a triumphant gleam in her eye.

"I am not the topic of this conversation," he returned. He neared Kagome, and that was enough to get her arousal to spike.

However, his eyes were on her stomach. His hand touched it almost nervously. "They have grown since I saw them last," he mumbled, getting on his knees to press his ear against it.

Kagome drank in the sight. She loved feeling him so close to her belly. Kagome enjoyed how excited he was to be a father. "They started to move around a couple days ago," Kagome whispered, "I think I scared your chef away. He thought I hated the soup, but I was just startled."

Sesshoumaru only nodded as he listened to the two heartbeats. He could not only hear the pups' heart beats, but could feel their energy too. A knock ran on the door. Akemi and Shippo peaked in with a flush on their faces. "Dinner is ready," Shippo let out with a smile.

Kagome grinned and nodded back to them. Her stomach grumbled at the mere mention of food and Sesshoumaru laughed, "I heard that you have become a bottomless pit when it came to food."

She flushed with anger, but could not argue. Kagome was always hungry it would seem, but Akemi was good at telling her when she should stop and control herself. "I have two more mouths to feed now," she argued.

The chef welcomed them in to the dining room. The stew was already set in front of them and Kagome found Hazuki already in her seat. Her hair had grown out to her shoulders, those snake-like eyes almost like jewels. She grinned as Kagome stepped towards her. "Mama!" She exclaimed, her arms reaching out to grasp Kagome.

Kagome laughed leaning down to press a kiss to the teal tendrils. "Say hello to Papa!" Kagome pressed on, pointing her finger to Sesshoumaru.

Hazuki giggled. A small finger of her own pointed to Sesshoumaru. "Hi Shomu!" She said showing her toothy grin. One of them was missing but Akemi had said it was her growing her fang in.

"Really?" Sesshoumaru got out, not amused in the least bit. Kagome only laughed.

"It's cute! Plus, Gin worked on that," Kagome added as she sat down next to him and Hazuki. Shippo sat on the other side of Hazuki as she began to dig into the soup.

She moaned in delight. The piece was so tender it practically melted. "This is great," Kagome got out. Sesshoumaru laughed under his breath as he swallowed.

"I bet everything tastes good when you are pregnant," he mused. Kagome did not give him an answer, in fact, she did not part with her food until dinner was over.

Sesshoumaru watched with loving eyes as she tucked in Shippo and Hazuki. Akemi cleared her throat from beside him, "Mi'Lord, the hot springs have been prepared for you," she whispered. Sesshoumaru only nodded to her.

Kagome looked up at him. He watched with an unknown emotion. It was more than love and need. It was as if he wanted time to freeze so he could just watch her, look at her.

"Hot spring?" She asked with eyes full of desire. Sesshoumaru only gave a nod as Kagome got in step beside him. "How is Toran?" Kagome asked quietly, "I heard she was there for Ryuichi's party."

Sesshoumaru nodded, "She was there with her sisters. They were helpful. I told them I would send the tree demons there to help them build."

They both turned the corner. "Has Gin given you a time to expect the delivery?" Sesshoumaru asked, trying to hide his excitement.

"Oh, yea!" Kagome exclaimed, setting a hand on her belly, the other on her lower back. "She said four months. I was shocked though, cause human's take nine months," she got out. Sesshoumaru could see the excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

Kagome grinned as they entered the hot springs. It was not outdoor like the Eastern House. It acted more of a sauna with several open windows. There were towels and benches surrounding it, as if many guests came and used it at once.

Kagome wandered to a bench, Sesshoumaru behind her. His hands were suddenly on her robe as he gently pulled it off. His fingers left a trail of heat as Kagome shivered.

The kimono dropped to the floor in a heap of silk. He slid off the chemise slip that was left and turned her around. He'd never seen anyone as beautiful as his mate. Knowing that she carried his two pups was breathtaking. He took a moment to thank the kami's. Izanami to be exact, for it was her own body that gave birth to his mate.

Kagome flushed as his gold eyes bore in to her. "You are staring," she pouted, rubbing her belly. She turned away from him and began to walk to the edge of the water. Slowly, she walked down the ramp-like entrance.

The water comforted her rapidly growing stomach. She sighed in pleasure as she sat on a rock wall along the side. Kagome watched Sesshoumaru join her. He had pulled his hair back in a low ponytail.

His hands quickly landed on her hips as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. Kagome hummed in delight. Her own hands found his chest, her nails scraping against the hard skin. Sesshoumaru growled to her, "I do not want to hurt the pups."

"It is fine!" Kagome returned with a struggled breath, "Please, Sesshoumaru. It's been a while since I felt you inside me."

Kagome flushed as she talked. She knew Sesshoumaru loved hearing her say dirty things, but she still felt bad saying them, as if she'd sworn.

Sesshoumaru's laugh was husky, low in his throat as he pressed his face against her neck. His canines dragged against the hollow point in her shoulder. His claws dragged from her hip to her thigh before two of his fingers rubbed over her slit, slowly pressing them open.

Kagome shivered at the contact as she leaned back against the rock. It allowed his lips better access to her neck, and helped stretch her back at the same time.

She shivered when the fingers suddenly dipped into her. She winced at the damned water, that rubbed away the natural lubricant.

Sesshoumaru saw and lifted her out of the water, setting her against the edge of the hot springs. Kagome sighed when she felt his tongue against her sex. It slid against her nether lips, delving deeper until she was wet. "Screw the foreplay, Sesshoumaru, I need you now," she stated.

Kagome didn't quite understand where the sudden need came from. All day she had been fine, but now that he was here she needed him like humans needed air. Kagome opened her eyes to see Sesshoumaru looking at her with confusion, "What has you so needy, sweeting?" He asked.

Kagome wiggled under the lust-filled gaze. She raised her shoulders, her mouth tightening to the side. "I-I just want you," she whispered.

Sesshoumaru rewarded her with his laugh as he stood on the edge. She moved forward to wrap her fingers around his dick. She felt the tremor through his body and then smirked when she rubbed the tip against her womanhood. "You tease," he hissed out, his voice strained.

Kagome giggled, but was cut short when he suddenly began to fill her. Inch by excruciating inch he filled her. The sensation doubled with every movement he made to go deeper. He watched her as he slowly pumped into her wet folds.

It was as if they had never done it before. She squirmed beneath him, moaning and desperate for more feeling, for more sensation. Sesshoumaru reached forward, cupping one of her breasts in his large claws.

He groaned as her sex clamped down on his. Her breasts, her womanhood, they fit him so nicely. His hands and his cock were made for her petite body. Sesshoumaru began to speed up. His thrusts long and deep but quick. Kagome whimpered when he ground his hips, making him disappear within her even deeper.

"You feel amazing!" She gasped out just before it hit her. The multiple sensations. The stars. The white lights. They all hit her as she called his name wondering if he would be able to steer her back into reality.

Sesshoumaru couldn't help it. He'd been gone for so long that he couldn't last as long as he wanted. He shoved himself all the way in, deep inside her, letting his seed fill her once more. Instantly, the base of his cock began to knot, filling her even further as his seed continually filled her over and over.

"Kami!" Kagome moaned out in disbelief wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him into a deep kiss. He nipped her lower lip, enjoying her shiver from the sensations he was still sending her way.

"I love you," Kagome whispered against his lips.

Sesshoumaru grinned. It was a toothy grin she'd never seen before. His eyes lightened and he ground his hips against hers. Her back arched up and he laughed wholeheartedly, "I love you too, my goddess."

Kagome sighed in complete heavenly bliss. She wound a strand of silvery hair around her finger tips as Sesshoumaru lowered her back into the water. "Do you think our pups will have adventures like we have?" She asked quietly.

He growled at such a thought. "I hope not," he grumbled but sighed giving in to destiny, "However, I do believe they have obstacles they must endure."

"Yes," Kagome finalized, rubbing his shoulders soothingly. "They will have their own journeys and we will be here to help them along the way."
