Inuyasha faced the boy. It had only been two years ago he had asked what the boys age was. Kohaku held the sickle in one hand and the chain in the other. He was going to beat Inuyasha, he had to.
Rin sat in the shade of a tree. Surrounding her was Sango, Miroku and Kagome. Amai was with Kirara, watching Hikari battle invisible demons.
Kokoro was sleeping peacefully in Sango's arms.
Kohaku and Inuyasha began to circle each other. Inuyasha stopped and held up Tetsusagia, Kohaku didn't flinch. Inuyasha smiled and charge at him.
Soon all that could be heard were the clanks of fang vs. metal. Kohaku blocked all of Inuyasha's attacks, but couldn't find any room to attack. After one hit, Inuyasha just went for another hit. Kohaku was starting to get worn down after a while, his blocks began to slow down. Now he was barely blocking.
"How do you plan on beating Sesshomaru if you tried this easily? Don't you love Rin!?" Inuyasha yelled at him.
Kohaku somehow found energy to continue fighting. He began to feel the burn in his muscles as the battle went on. If I don't knock the Tetsagia out of his hands, I'll be to tired to continue. Kohaku tried to find a weak point, but all Inuyasha did was keep swinging his sword at him. He didn't have time to think. Soon his muscles were screaming from keeping the same pace. Kohaku decided it was now or never. With his left hand he threw the chain at the Tetsusagia and it wrapped around the handle. Without a moment's hesitation he yanked the chain.
In front of him stood an unarmed Inuyasha, the Tetsusagia out of reach. Inuyasha held up his hands and said simply.
"You win."
Kohaku collapsed in the grass out of exhaustion. Inuyasha walked over to Tetsusagia and pulled it out of the ground. Rin ran to Kohaku, and sat down beside him.
Sesshomaru watched from the trees. Kagura was behind him.
"The boy has trained hard." She whispered.
Sesshomaru watched Rin shower Kohaku with kisses.
"I will be the judge of that in time."
Two days Kohaku waited. Then he decided on the third day. Their was no point in delaying any longer. He went to Sesshomaru and simply said.
"I'm ready."
They stood in the same field Kohaku fought Inuyasha. Rin and every one else gathered two watch. The Hikari, Amai and Kokoro were with Shippou who volunteered to watch them. Kagura sat among them, everyone saw she was pregnant, it looked like she would deliver any day.
Sesshomaru lifted his sword and pointed it to Kohaku. Kohaku griped his weapon and nodded. Kohaku broke a sweat within the first tree minutes of the fight. Sesshomaru was a lot quicker than Inuyasha. Kohaku was just barely blocking his attacks. If he slowed down at all he would get hit.
Kohaku feared if the fight last any longer he would lose. He decided he should try hitting back. Trying to pull the same thing he did with Inuyasha he threw the chain and it successfully wrapped round the handle. When he tried to pull it Sesshomaru pulled too. Kohaku felt his weapon being yanked from his hands and froze.
Kohaku stood unarmed and had the blade of the sword held under his chin.
Sesshomaru stood there and held the blade in place. He looked in the boys eyes. He didn't see fear as he had expected. He saw defeat in the boys eyes.
"Over this last year I have seen you build your own house, provide your own food and train at your hardest." Sesshomaru said so everyone could here. "But you have failed to beat defeat me in battle." Sesshomaru sheathed his sword. "So let us wish, you never need to battle me."
Rin beamed, she ran toward them.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" She asked breathlessly.
Sesshomaru nodded.
"You have my blessings."
Kohaku's and Rin's wedding was the simplest of all the weddings. Kagura gave birth to a healthy baby girl a few weeks later.
Kagome watched three-year-old Hikari run around the nursery. In the corner Amai and Kirara were entertaining two-year-old Kokoro. At two years He was already putting together sentences. Amai however only spoke when spoken to.
Kagome looked down at her belly. She was pregnant again. She heard a fit of giggles from her left. She turned and saw Kagura levitating one-year-old Sora.
"Be careful not to drop her." Kagome cautioned.
Kagura brought Sora back to her lap. Sora's short silver hair was up. That was the only sign that she was daughter of Sesshomaru. Sora looked so much like her mother it was unbelievable. She even had the same maroon eyes. Sora ran off her mothers lap and went to were Hikari was running around. Just like Hikari, she was already running.
Kagura looked down at her belly again. Earlier she had visited the doctor, and she got more out of that visited than she expected.
"Are you sure you don't want to do the full test?"
"No doctor. One frame should do it." Kagome insisted. She was not going to have a repeat like last time.
"All right." Thankfully this time it was a woman, and she understood. On the monitor an image showed up. Kagome glanced at it for a second then turned away.
"Would you like to keep the sexes unknown?" The doctor asked.
"Yes, me and my husband would like to be surprised." Kagome said smiling. The image vanished from the screen.
"The babies seem to be doing fine-"
"Excuse me doctor?" Kagome asked.
"Yes?"
"D-did you say babies?" Kagome asked almost fainting.
"I thought I implied that the first time I asked about there sexes." The doctor said smiling. "Your having twins."
"Oh." Kagome said placing her hand on her belly.
Inuyasha returned to the house very proud of himself. He had learned how to handle money and could go grocery shopping all by himself. Now he would be allowed to work a credit card. He returned home with bags in hand and a few more baby things.
"Kagome!" He shouted setting down the bags.
"I'm up here!" He heard a shout from the nursery. He jogged up stairs and opened the nursery door. Screeches of laughter hit his ears. He smiled. Kagura was levitating Kokoro in the air, only a few inches above the ground. The rest of the children watched with smiles painted on there faces.
"Me next! Me next!" Hikari giggled.
Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and kissed her.
"How is it you got stuck babysitting?" He kissed her belly. "How is the baby?"
"F-fine. Inuyasha dear, I have something to tell you."
"What Koi?"
Kagome figured it would be best if she told him clearly.
"We're having twins."
Inuyasha waited for a second for someone to shout surprise. No one did.
"We're having twins?" He asked again.
Kagome smiled,
"Yes, two babies!"
Inuyasha smiled.
"We're having twins!"
I am ending this story here. There will be a squeal, and the next generation will be generally taking over that story. So let's review characters.
Three-year old Hikari, Inuyasha and Kagome's son.
Three-year old Amai, Sango and Miroku's daughter.
Two-year old Kokoro, Sango and Miroku's son.
One-year old Sora, Sesshomaru and Kagura's daughter.
I am sorry that I stuck Kagura's relation with Sesshomaru so randomly in there, but they really do love each other. Sesshomaru in his not showing affection kinda way.
I have typed up about four chaps of the sequal already, (yay me!) I just have problems uploading my cover to photo bucket. As soon as I can download my pic I'll post that story. Should I post a preview? Yes? Wait… did I hear a no?…. It's torture ain't it?
Until next time, Ja ne!

Preview (see I'm not so mean…)
"You promise you'll come back?" Kagome said fiddling with the camera in her hands.
Shippou smiled and hugged her.
"Ten years tops." He whispered in her ear.
Kagome smiled, a tear slid down her cheek.
"You promise?"
Shippou looked down at the closest thing to family he's had since his father and mother were killed.
"I promise."
They walked outside to wave Shippou farewell. Kagome smiled through her tears and wave. Inuyasha held her close.
"Don't you worry. Ten years will go by like that." He said snapping his fingers.
