Epilogue:

Two young girls giggled and ran down the stairs back to the town below. Visitors to Genkai's temple increased enough to make a profit but not enough to annoy Genkai. Although, you suspected any more giddy girls and she would reach her limit. After two weeks in the human world, word spread quickly about a shrine maiden whose predictions about the future were extremely accurate. Now, five years later, high school girls who worried about their love life visited frequently. All in all, everything was going nicely. Kurama went to a nearby college and saw you on weekends and breaks. He would be finished in one month and you were thankful for that.

On this particular weekend, Kurama asked to meet you at the park for a walk. You had not walked far past the entrance when Kurama caught you.

"You made it." Kurama greeted you with a hug. "I was afraid work would keep you."

"I was able to sneak away." You smiled. "They'll just have to wait until tomorrow to have their fortune told."

Kurama led the way into the park, your arm in his.

"Do you remember this place?" He asked when you approached a grand oak off the path.

"This is where you found me." Nostalgia filled you as you touched the trunk. "How could I forget?"

"It was here that we were reunited and started our life together over." Kurama smiled. "Which bring me to the reason I asked to me you here… I was offered a job."

"So soon?" You tilted your head. "You haven't even finished you courses yet."

"Its starts this summer." Kurama explained. "Right after I earn my degree. I'll be working in a research facility studying plant cell biology. My first assignment will be to gain a better understanding of the biosynthesis of plant hemicelluloses and working toward the development of plants with improved cell wall properties."

You nodded. Some of the things he said went right over your head, but you understood the basic concept. He would be working to genetically engineer plants with supposedly superior qualities. But what did that mean for you and him?

"Where is this research facility?" You asked.

"In the next prefecture." He answered. "And that's the other reason I brought you here. I want you to come and live with me. I'll earn enough to afford an apartment. The commute to Genkai's isn't bad from there."

"You want to move in together…" You stated more than questioned. "Kurama I have something to tell you. Maybe you should sit down…" Kurama sat under the tree and you knelt in front of him. "Remember how you said we couldn't get married or start a family yet because you're not quite at the right age in human years? Well, someone disagreed or to be more precise, two little someones disagreed."

"You mean you're... " Kurama was too flabbergasted to continue. "What is it, a boy or a girl?"

"Mmmm-hmmm." You smiled and nodded.

Author's Note:

Thank you all for the words of encouragement in the reviews! I wouldn't have had the motivation to write so much without it. So this is the end. I must say I'm a little disappointed I could use the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Rolling Stones for Yomi or "A Moment Like This" by Chanee and N'Evergreen for Jun and Kurama. All in all, I'm happy with the ending. I have started another fanfic about Yomi (Because I can't leave him alone!). It will be a suspense/romance. Please read if you're interested.

Here is a Preview:

The Revolution greatly changed the Makai. After the Demon World Tournament, everything changed. The rich and powerful could no longer influence Lords. King Enki controlled all three segments of the demon world. A demon named Ichi made his fortune during the tournament. He didn't compete, but he produced and sold medical supplies for the event. Naturally, such a large event had many competitors and many injuries. Ichi barely kept up with the demand. When it ended, he had more money he could spend. To celebrate, he decided to host a for all the nobles of Gaarara, his home territory. Haruhi and her family attended. As she conversed with a friend of the family, a flash caught her eye. On the second floor, an archer focused on the party below. Slowly, he pulled an arrow back. Immediately, she followed the projection of the arrow and jumped on the fellow it was aimed at. The arrow whizzed past her, as if in slow motion. She felt the arrow cut through her hair, taking her ribbon with it. As the stray hair fell in front of her face, she looked down at the demon it was intended for. He was tall, easily 7 feet, and muscular. In hindsight, she was appalled her small frame knocked him down.

" 'At blook almost did yer in." The event flustered her enough to let her cockney accent out. "Didn't ye see 'im? Are ye alright?"

"I will be once you get off me." He groaned.

"Oh, yes." She scrambled to get off him. "I'm so sorry."

When she composed herself, she recognized the demon as past Lord of Gaarara, Lord Yomi. A fearsome demon, he competed in the tournament and almost won. Currently, he owned a large patch of land and rented it to tenets. Due to clever manipulation of the stock market and his rental polices, he became very wealthy. The host rushed over to Yomi.

"Are you alright, Lord Yomi?" He asked. "I had my guards arrest the demon right away."

"I'm fine." Yomi replied, bitterly. "If this wild creature hadn't tackled me, I'd me even better."

If She had any sense she would have walked away after that. However, his tone annoyed her.

"Excuse me?" Haruhi's temper quickly took over. It was a wonder her cockney accent remained hidden this time. "I saved your life!"

"I would have been fine." He countered. "It is typical of a woman to act rashly and foolishly meddle. Learn your place. Your just a pretty face to use when convenient."

She was a different demon back then. She accepted his words. A lot had changed. She changed. A submissive attitude wouldn't help now. Her livelihood depended on this job.
