So Beautiful

Yea there ain't nothing not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is will be or ever was
Every single choice we make
Every breath we get to take
Is all because two people fell in love
-Brad Paisley, all because two people fell in love


Sesshomaru and Kagome spent many years side by side, and had many children to prove it. Kiyoshi their adopted son held a special place in both their hearts...maybe because he was the only one with puppy ears, or maybe it was all his features which reminded them so much of another hanyou...

“Are you sure you want to do this?” sesshomaru asked adjusting his tie while studying himself in the mirror. Kagome sighed and took the reins on fixing his tie.

“We haven’t had a family reunion in years, it will be nice to have all the children in one place again.” She said finishing his tie. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

“I suppose you’re right, I just hope I remember all their names.” he said with a smirk on his unaged features. Kagome rolled her eyes and swatted his arm.

“We don’t have that many.” she scolded before pushing him away from the mirror and taking his spot. “I just don’t understand why you decided it had to be formal, this dress is uncomfortable and my feet will be killing me.” she added before applying a small amount of clear gloss to her lips.

“Our pups were hooligans I want to see them look grown for a change.” he stated, his arms crossed while he leaned against the bathroom counter.

“They’re still young, they should be allowed to be hooligans.” Kagome defended. Sesshomaru sighed.

“Things in this era certainly are different from the days when I met you.” he said. “When I was a pup we were expected to mind our manners.” he said. Kagome walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him her face resting on his chest, his arms automatically going around her.

“They were raised well, and soon we will have great grandchildren to spoil. Kagome said. Sesshomaru smiled.

“We can’t afford to spoil great grandpups when we keep having pups of our own.” he said feeling Kagome’s rounded belly pressing into his own stomach. Kagome smiled and sighed in contentment.

“Mom..dad where are you guys?” Kiyoshi called from the living room. Sesshomaru took Kagome’s hand and lead her to the living room.

“Here we are.” Kagome said waddling up to her son and wrapping her arms around him. “Oh I just missed you so much.” she said.

“Mom..cant..breathe.” he managed. Kagome released him and backed up. Kiyoshi was almost identical to Inuyasha, especially after Kaili’s spell the only difference being his eyes were somewhere between brown and gold making them look like slightly darkened honey. “Anyway are you guys ready everyone is waiting.” he said. Kagome and Sesshomaru both gave a nod.


A large traditional Japanese restaurant across town had been completely rented out for the reunion. Two who floors of tables were filled with family.

“Hi momma.” Ai said nervously walking up to Kagome, it had been twenty years since they had last seen each other. Tears brimmed Kagome’s eyes as she gazed at her first born. Ai was the spitting image of her mother only her pointed ear giving away her true heritage. Kagome wrapped her arms around her daughter.

“Oh my sweet beautiful daughter how I’ve missed you.” Kagome cried. Tears ran down Ai’s cheeks as she held her mother.

“I’m so sorry that I stayed away for so long.” Ai said. Kagome shushed her and wiped her eyes.

“You’re here now.” Kagome said with a smile. Ai walked off to visit with her siblings and Kagome found the nearest chair and plopped down.

“Hey ma you look tired.” Kane, Ai’s fraternal twin stated. He looked just like his father.

“Just a little, so what have you been up to?” she answered. He smiled and sat beside her.

“Been working in America mostly, oh and I met someone.” he said grinning. Kagome smiled and shook her head.

“You’re worse than Miroku was.” Kagome said. Kane smiled and shrugged.

“I wish I could have known uncle.” he said before grinning again. “He could have taught me all of his lecherous ways.” he added. Kagome sighed and shook her head.

“Your father would have beat you until you had forgotten all of Miroku’s ways.” Kagome said jokingly. Kane grinned.

“We all know you were tougher on us than pop was ma.” Kane said trying to keep a straight face before busting out laughing.

“Oh you, your father was right we did raise a pack of hooligans.” Kagome stated before laughing with her son. Sesshomaru walked up and sat on the other side of Kagome.

“Hey pop, mom is accusing you of beating us again.” Kane said with a laugh. Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow at his mate.

“You know I didn’t mean it.” Kagome said her eyes wide. Sesshomaru chuckled.

“Quit hogging mom and dad Kane.” Ayame whined as she walked up to the table. She was the youngest and her siblings had nicknamed her Cruella because one side of her head had black hair and the other white, she also had one brown eye and one gold eye.


“I’m not hogging anything Ayame.” Kane said. Ayame huffed and sat beside her brother. “ besides you told me on the phone last week that you didn’t think you were going to come because you didn’t want pop to know that you got knocked up.” he said before clamping a hand on his mouth, eyes wide. Sesshomaru’s eyes widened as he looked at his youngest.

“What?” he snapped. Ayame laughed nervously and looked pleadingly at her mother, who only shrugged and cut her eyes over at Sesshomaru.

“Oh daddy please don’t be angry with me, I...I.” she began, Sesshomaru held up a hand to silence her.

“You are old enough to make your own decisions, I don’t understand why my pups are afraid to tell me anything, I am not an ogre.” he said almost sounding sad. Kagome leaned into him, clutching his arm.

“They know you’re not they just don’t want to think that you’re disappointed in them.” Kagome whispered. He kissed the top of her head just before Ayame launched herself onto her parents.

“Is there room for me?” Rin asked walking up to Sesshomaru and Kagome, her mates arm around her shoulders. Everyone stopped and looked up with wide eyes, it had been a century since they had last seen their adopted daughter. After that all their children came by gave hugs and apologies for taking so long to see their parents.

“That was fun.” Kagome said that night as they got ready for bed. Sesshomaru rinsed the toothpaste from him mouth and spit into the sink.

“I never thought all those years ago, that my number of pups would be so great that I would have to rent an entire building to hold everyone.” he said flicking off the bathroom light and walking to the bed to help Kagome ready the bedding. “But I suppose it was somewhat fun.” he added sliding into bed.

“I just wish Hiro and Naomi could have come.” Kagome said sadly as she settled into bed. Sesshomaru pulled her close and kissed her lips.

“Perhaps next year.” he said before reaching over and turning off the light.
