****( Four Months Later)****
Kikyo and Maroki were playing while Hinari read a book under a tree. Kikyo stopped as the ball smashed her in the face knocking her back.
“Ow!” She said angrily rubbing her head.
“What’s wrong?” Maroki asked coming up to his little sister.
She sniffed in the air. “Someone’s coming, and it’s a demon.”
Hinari’s black furry ear twitched and he looked up from his book. He stood up and joined his siblings. “I wonder who it is.”
Maroki made his nails glow ready to defend his home if need be. “Father!” He shouted.
“Yeah I know.” They all heard and turned as Inuyasha landed lightly on his feet. Kagome came running out her hair done up into a bun.
“What is it?” She asked as a figure appeared coming towards them. It only took a moment to see who it was.
Dressed in a luxurious kimono with the royal lotus the dog demon came to them. “Rin!” Kagome cried smiling.
Rin smiled distantly. “Kagome. Inuyasha.” She said and swept a smile over the three children still staring at her. She had met them all before but now seeing her as a demon was strange for them.
“How are you?” Kagome asked keeping a slight distance not knowing how being a demon now would change her friend.
“It’s strange really. I’m me, but I’m not me.” Rin walked slowly around looking up into the sky reminding Kagome of Sesshomaru then came to stop right in front of Inuyasha.
“Inu no Taisho, this is your uncle Inuyasha.” She let the baby look at him and Inuyasha stared amazed. The little baby with the markings of a full blood but with such an innocent face. He wondered how long he would look that way.
“He’s beautiful Rin. I’m so glad everything worked out the way you wanted.” He said uncharacteristically gentle.
Kagome came up and smiled. “You named him after Sesshomaru and Inuyasha’s father.”
Rin smiled. “He is the son of the Great Dog Demon Lord.”
Kagome looked up at her. “So how is Sesshomaru? Are you two…..”
“Demons don’t think of it the same way as humans do. But yes, for now being the mother of his child we are rarely apart.” Rin touched her child’s face as he fell asleep. “I came here to let you meet him and to thank you for everything you did for me and for Lord Sesshomaru.”
“Oh it was nothing. Everything turned out right and that’s all the matters.” Kagome waved it away with a grin.
Rin nodded gratefully. “Lord Sesshomaru is also grateful even though he won’t admit it.” Her eyes found Inuyasha. “He’s even grateful to you Inuyasha.”
Inuyasha sniffed turning his head away. “I doubt it!” Then he began mumbling about Sesshomaru being a jerk. Rin laughed softly.
“I should go now.”
The three children came to Kagome’s side and huddle around trying to look at the baby. “We won’t see you for a while will we?”
Rin’s smile slipped. “No probably not.” Kagome nodded understanding.
Kikyo seemed mesmerized by the little demon baby. Rin noticed and bent down so she could see him better. “Good bye little Kikyo. Take care of your family.” Rin said.
Her silver hair shone as she lifted her chin. “I will.”
They all watched her go. Kagome had a feeling that her children would have a destiny that would entwine with Rin’s. “You ok?” Inuyasha asked taking her in his arms breaking her out of her thoughts.
“Yeah. I just got a feeling.”
“Really.” His smile was mischievous as he came in and kissed her.

Rin met Sesshomaru on the mountainside. “Let’s go.” Sesshomaru said formally, offering her his arm.
She nodded with only a hint of a smile. “Yes, Lord Sesshomaru.” Then took his arm holding their child close. Jaken ran to catch up leading the two headed dragon following the Lord and Lady he served.
