Epilogue:

"I am very sorry for what Kiriaku has done to you. He was always a very good boy... he just made a very bad mistake." Kana said, speaking to Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru, Rin, and the rest, "You see, the Grudge always takes it's toll on people, in his case it drove him insane. I appoligise entiely for him."

"You don't need to appologise for anything, Kana." Miroku said kindly, "You can just tell us that he went rather insane for awhile and then leave it at that. I think by the end all of us could tell that Kiriaku really was a very nice guy." All of them nodded in agreement except Sesshomaru and Jaken.

"How could he be a good person?! He tried to kill Lord Sesshomaru! What kind of good person does-" Jaken began.

"Jaken." Sesshomaru inturrupted.

Jaken looked up at him, "Yes Lord Sesshomaru."

"Be quiet."

Jaken looked flustered, "Um... Y-yes M'lord!"

"So do you think you can get allong by yourself?" Kagome asked, turning back to Kana.

Kana nodded, "Don't worry about me, I'll be perfectly alright. Navolia is, after all, the safest place for Navols." Kana smiled for a second but then he smile faded, "At least... Kiriaku always believed that..."

There was silence until a familiar voice with an unfamiliar tone inturrupted their thoughts, "What kinda funeral is this?! This is terrible!" Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both ran out behind Kana, eyes wide, Kana came right after them. Only a few feet away, stood Kiriaku, rather shimmering but still there and completely whole, his arms folded and his head shaking, "Seriously... I expected there to be less crying over me." He grinned and winked at them, "Don't tell me you missed me already?"

"Kiriaku!" Kana cried, the tears swelling at her eyes again, "Kiriaku you idiot! What do you think you're doing here! Why did you scare me like that?!"

Kiriaku laughed, putting his hands down, "You can't blame me for coming, I have to say that I don't want the last thing you guys thought of me to be a blood thirsty killer, or a dillusional psycopath. Come on, I'm not that dumb." then he glanced behind him, "Whoops, I almost forgot the time limit. I'll get right to the point." He looked back at them, his hair floating around his face. He was a lot more happy and cheerful then when they had last seen him, "Sesshomaru, Inuyasha..." he looked down, "I'm sorry that I did this to you. It was very wrong of me." Then his head came up and he was grinning again, "Is that a good appology? Yes? No?"

"You should be a little more respectful." a second shimmering figure appeared beside Kiriaku. This time everyone knew who it was.

"Father?!" Inuyasha and Sesshomaru called at the same time.

Kiriaku laughed, "Yeah, he was the one who sent me here to appologise. Then again, I wasn't the nicest boy before I left."

"Hurry it up Kiriaku, you don't have much more time." Inutaisho looked a bit uncomfortable.

"I will Father." With those words Inutaisho vanished again. Kiriaku grinned, "Well, the cat's out of the bag again."

"Father?!" Inuyasha sounded stunned but Sesshomaru remained silent, he'd already heard.

"Yeah, congradlations Inuyasha, you have another older brother." Kiriaku waved his finger in front of his face, "I'm even older then Sesshomaru!"

"Don't taunt me." Sesshomaru muttered.

"Kiriaku." A soft voice said from behind Kiriaku. Kiriaku turned. A beautiful woman with flowing hair and startling gray eyes was standing behind him. Her hair was a white-blonde and she was wearing a white Kimono, "It's time to go Kiriaku."

"Aw... already mother?" Kiriaku whinned.

Kana's eyes were brimming with tears now as she looked up at the face she had missed for so long.

"You've overstayed your welcome as it is." The woman whispered, "Now, let us get back."

"Okay." He took her outstretched hand then said, "Take care of eachother, my little brothers." And with that, he vanished.

I have to say that I rather like my conclusion to this story. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves in this and I hope I don't get any hate mail because I killed Kiriaku... he was an OC remeber? I couldn't just keep him in the story!!! Anyhow, these are some songs that I found that fit the characters, or at least, my OCs:

Kana - Girl Nextdoor by Saving Jane
