Sango had two beautiful healthy twin girls. Miroku and she couldn't be happier at their growing family.

Although Kikyo's pregnancy was rough the birth all went well and they had a healthy child. They had a little boy with black hair with silver little dog ears on top of his head.

And as for Raya and Nuriel;
"You can do it Raya!" Kagome said soothingly.
"Yea, yea wait until it's your turn!" Raya mumbled out as she gasped in pain.
Kagome frowned ignoring the comment in favor of evaluating Raya, she was having a much more difficult time than Sango or Kikyo.
Turning to Kaede, the old woman who shook her head. It had been a several hours and If this kept up Raya would pass out or worse.
Nuriel had to be kicked out, it was obviously hurting him that he couldn't fix his mate's pain which stressed Raya out more. Something she surely didn't need.
What could she do to help? Thinking back to her heath books on pregnancy and delivery (she had brought a book last time she was in the future) when an idea stuck her. It was a long shot but if it worked it would help a lot.

Nuriel paced. Unceasingly back and forth as Sesshomaru watched him.
Sesshomaru wasn't much for words and he would not falsely state 'everything would be alright' when there was no proof of that. However…
"Raya is strong." Sesshomaru said stopping Nuriel in his pacing.
Nuriel turned towards him brows furrowing.
"Yes, the strongest woman I know." Nuriel's eyes drifted towards the door as another cry of pain echoed out. Nuriel paled as he flinched at the sound. "This is what I was afraid of, this is exactly why I had not had a child before." Nuriel sat on a nearby chair face in his hands.
"I can sense her weakening she won't-" Nuriel's voice broke as he became silent.
Sesshomaru walked over to Nuriel and placed his hand on his shoulder. "She has not given up, do not give up yourself."
Nuriel looked up at him nodded and stood back up to continue pacing.
"You're right as always, how annoying." Nuriel muttered as he paced.

"Raya I'm going to try something to ease the pain I'm not sure if it will work but it's worth a shot." Kagome said leaning the woman into a sitting position.
Kaede and Kagome looked at each other nodding.
"Try to keep still as much as you can." Kagome said.
Raya mumbled out some curses but nodded.
Kagome lifted Raya's shirt and felt down her spine to the spot she was looking for. She had read up on epidurals and where to place them. Hopefully she could send some of her reiki to do the same thing.
Placing her hands on Raya's back she carefully and gently pressed her reiki into her.
After a few moments, Raya's moans of pains stopped.
With a sigh, Raya relaxed as Kagome helped her to lay back down.
Relief evident in all three women's faces they all relaxed some.
"Ok now we can focus more what needs to be done. You can do it Raya!" Kagome said.
XxxxxxxX
Nuriel's ears twitched as his mate's moans stopped. Had the worst happened?! Sprinting he threw open the door and raced over to Raya.
"Raya!" Nuriel called out as he reached her.
"I'm ok." Raya said quickly as Nuriel held her hand. "Kagome stopped the pain."
"Good." Nuriel said as he kissed her head.
"We still have a ways to go but it should be easier now." Kagome said.

A few hours later.

With a final push, little puppy whimpering echoed throughout the room as their kit was born.
"It's a boy!" Kagome said as she careful held him up to the couple.
Nuriel grinned then kissed Raya. "You did great my mate."
Kaede brought over the small child after cleaning him off and gave the little bundle to Raya.
Happy tears streamed down her face as she held her son. "I've waited a long time for you my heart." She whispered to him as she moved the blanket off him some to kiss his head.
"He's perfect." Nuriel said as he gazed at his son.
The little kit had two little black ears and a black tail like his father, but his big brown eyes were undoubtedly Raya's.
"Oh, thank goodness he got your looks." Nuriel teased as he gently petted his sons head.
"Oh stop." Raya said sighing a bit. "Before I can sleep, what should we name him?"
Nuriel gently picked his son up as he did a little of the blanket fell off and reviled a birth mark on his forearm. The very same one his father had had.
"Isn't that?" Raya said
"Yes." Nuriel nodded smiling proudly.
Raya smiled. "Azriel." She said softly. "Like your father."
Nuriel nodded. A strong name that would suit the son of the East.
"Azriel it is." Nuriel said rocking his son with a bright smile.

Velvidar and Aya having bounded much with Hotaru and Saki decided to adopt them into their small but growing pack. Both children happy to have a new family to be loved in.
X
Koga and Ayame both mated soon after Sesshomaru and Kagome did.
XxxxxxxxX
Much later
Sesshomaru stood over his bed looking down at his mate. A smile crept onto his face as he watched her instinctively pat the two bundles next to her as one fussed in her sleep.
Bending slightly, he picked up the little squirming infant. Cradling her he walked towards the window and gazed out.
A little yawn and bright gold eyes looking at him, bringing his gaze to meet hers. Raven locks around cute twitching silver ears. The moon and one stripe on her face clearly stating that she was the heir of the west.
She chirped at him.
He smiled. "Hush Miyu it is not time for your feeding yet."
The little bundle chirped a little louder in protest.
Letting out a low growl he soothed his pup who yawned and snuggled back into him.
Sesshomaru walked over and placed Miyu back next to her brother.
Miyu opened her eyes again and let out a loud chirp which woke her sleeping companions.
"Huh, hungry already?" Kagome said sleepy raising her head to look at her twins.
Miyu let out a small growl as her brother chirped at her.
"She is certainly going to be a troublemaker much like her mother." Sesshomaru said as Kagome picked her up.
"She's just a baby Sesshomaru, and I'm not a trouble maker!" Kagome said
Sesshomaru gave her a blank stare.
"Trouble just seems to find me is all." Kagome said as she nursed Miyu.
Sesshomaru scoffed and picked up his son. His second born had silver hair and the same markings as his sister. But he had bright blue eyes like his mother.
"Tsuki, is much calmer." Sesshomaru stated as he held him.
Kagome shrugged and yawned.
Sesshomaru sat next to her and switched pups with her.
"You did well." He said stroking her hair out of her face.
"Yea?" Kagome mumbled sleepily
"Hnn." Sesshomaru confirmed.
"I'm glad." Kagome replied.
"As am I mate." Sesshomaru said holding his wife and mate close to him.

Clanging metal against metal echoed across the training grounds as a group watched the proceedings.
"Who would of thought that such a thing could happen."
"I certainly didn't." Kagome said looking on as her children spared.
"It's unheard of."
"Well it happened, took me awhile to realize it though."
Silver hair whipped about as the monk staff crashed against the sword swung at him.
"It'll take more than that sister." Tsuki said with a smile.
Miyu smirked. "I would have it no other way.
Miroku looked over at Kagome. "Do you know if they have decided yet?"
"I believe they have picked what they resume now but, only time can tell." Kagome said with a shrug.
Two beings battled reiki and yokai flaring into life as they did.
"To have one full demon and one full human from the same pregnancy would be unquiet as it was." Sango said.
"But to have twins that can change what heritage they take on is definitely one of a kind." Miroku said.
Kagome beamed. Her children were indeed one of a kind. Since birth she had felt them flip back and forth between reiki and yokai. Both trying each out and using which ever one was best at the time.
When Miyu got scratched from doing something reckless Tsuki was there with reiki to heal her. And vise versa. It was quite peculiar.
"They are strong, pups." Velvidar said with a smile.
"Indeed." Sesshomaru said a proud look seeping into his face.
"Of course, they are strong just look at their parents!" Jaken boasted loudly.
With a quick flair of yokai and a grunt Tsuki looked up at the sword his sister pointed at him.
"I win!" Miyu sung out.
"You cheated." Tsuki grumbled.
"It's not my fault you weren't paying attention." Miyu said holding her hand out and helping him up.
Kagome walked up by the two as they bickered.
"Miyu you should fight honorably." She said as Tsuki smirked.
"Tsuki you should not be distracted amidst battle, a fraction of a second is all your enemy needs to disarm you, or worse." Sesshomaru said striding up to his children.
Kagome nodded. "Exactly! You both have lots to learn!"
The two children slumped.
"But you did well." Kagome said fondly as she patted both of their heads.
"Hnn." Sesshomaru said in agreement.
Both children beamed and raced off the play with Sango and Miroku's twins as sparing was done.
XxxxxxxxxxX
After many, many years Sango and Miroku's descendants now stayed in the re built demon slayer village. For a long time, the family had gone back and forth between the village by the well and the slayers.
As demons became scarcer and the human population grew most yokai had begun to avoid humans.
As such a decision was made.

"Its just so sad." Raya whispered to Nuriel as the stood on the very spot they had met.
"I know but it's for the best." Nuriel said resting his hand on the Kibo tree.
"At least we can always have you, old friend." Raya said placing her hand next to his.
Both looked around the clearing. Beautiful flowers like a river swayed with the breeze their Kibo tree in the middle.
"Alright let do it." Nuriel said turning.
"Ok!" Kagome said nodding at the two and placing her hands on the tree. With a flash of purple the Kibo tree was gone, in its place a circle of purple flowers grew.
"Now you're sure you transferred it to my palace right?" Nuriel asked.
Kagome rolled her eyes.
"My mate rarely makes such grand mistakes." Sesshomaru said.
Kagome smiles proudly.
"At least not in the last decade." Sesshomaru said eyes shinning with mirth as his mate's mouth hung open in ingestion.
Nuriel and Raya laughed.
"Well we better get out of here before the villagers come to investigate." Raya said.
"Yea, see you around!" Kagome said smiling as they all flew off their separate ways. She smiled to herself as she rested in Sesshomaru's arms.
Kagome giggled. Who would of thought that she was the very reason the Kibo tree wasn't in this spot in the future.
XxxxxxxX
Five hundred years had passed since Kagome had married and mated Sesshomaru.
On this day, their 500 -year anniversary, they had planned something very special.
Kagome looked up a very familiar set of stairs.
A clawed hand grasped hers as they walked up the steps.
Kagome heard the gentle brush of a broom begin swept across the ground.
She purposely stepped louder on the steps so she would be heard.
An old voice called out to them. "The shrine is closed today I'm afraid please come back another day." The old man said without looking up.
Kagome smiled widely as she stepped up the final step. "Closed even for me?" She asked.
Her grandpa gasped and clatter of the broom dropping echoed across the grounds.
Tears welled in the old man's eyes as he took in the sight of his granddaughter.
"I've missed you gramps." Kagome said running over and hugging him.
"Oh, my dear I have too, so much so." Gramps said hugging her tight.
"Hey gramps you said we could close the shrine today why are you-" Souta froze as his eyes took in the seen before him.
Kagome straightened. "Hey Souta." She said with a wide smile.
"Sis!" Souta yelled out as he leapt into a tight hug from his older sister.
"I thought I'd never see you again." The boy whispered out as he hugged her tighter.
"I'm here now." Kagome said patting his back.
"Mom, mom come quick!" Souta called out after releasing Kagome.
"Yes dear what is-" a crash of a plate dropping, a drying towel falling over it as Kagome's mother stood hands over her mother tears in her eyes.
"Kagome!" She said running over to her daughter and hugging her close to her.
"I've missed you mama." Kagome said as she clung to her.
After a few moments of hugs the group turned to the other person that had gone up with Kagome.
"Everyone, this is my husband." Kagome said taking his hand and pulling him forward.
The tall man gave a slight smile and nodded at them. He was an attractive man dressed in a business suit, long black hair in a low ponytail.
"Oh my, so good to meet you." Kagome mother said.
Kagome laughed and elbowed her mate.
He smirked and took off a bracelet he was wearing.
In a flash the concealment spell was lifted and instead of a business man, in his place stood the western lord in his rightful attire swords at his waist and mokomoko over his shoulder.
"I knew it!" Kagome's mother clapped as she hugged the demon before her. "I knew you would take care of my daughter!" She said gratefully.
They went inside all of them sitting around the kitchen table as Mrs. Higurashi made tea.
"So how has the last 500 years been for ya?" Souta asked staring at them.
"Very good actually." Kagome said smiling.
Kagome watched as her mother gave out the tea then sat down.
"You're even an uncle!" Kagome said with a big smile.
The three stared as Kagome waved at them. "Would you like to meet them?"
"Of course!" The three said together.
Sesshomaru nodded and let out a pulse of yokai calling his children to him.
A knock on the door then the group poured in.
Greetings and introduction were made all around.
Shippo doing a few magic tricks to impress as they all laughed.
The family was finally together.
It was a happy day, a joyful night and a wonderful end to a long awaited reunion.
