Chapter 29: Epilogue

A/N: And here we are! Wow, it's been almost two years since I started this story. I'm sad to leave it, but excited too - it means that I can start on something new all over again, and that's always enjoyable. At the end of this epilogue, there's a brief description of my next story. I hope that all of you give it a chance - I think it'll be something a bit different and definitely fun!

I probably shouldn't have written this, since the end of the previous chapter was such a big hit and all... but I promised. And far be it from me to deny you guys. :)

I have one more piece of fabulous artwork for this story, which can be also found if you just go to my favorites section on dA or directly to the URL (remember to remove the spaces!):

The Once and Future Taiyoukai

Epilogue

"Oh, gross!"

Kagome paused, the knife hovering above the cutting board and the carrots she was chopping for her mother. A moment later, the cry was repeated, still laced with both horror and entertainment.

"What are they watching?" she asked, looking towards her mother. Tinny sounds of yelling were coming from, presumably, the television set and it sounded ghastly.

The elder woman shrugged. "I'm not sure. Something his friend let him borrow."

Kagome rolled her eyes as another recorded scream ripped through the air. "He's almost eighteen. Shouldn't he have gotten past the needless violence thing by now?"

Her mother chuckled. "Sesshoumaru is watching it too, you know."

"Of course he is," she replied. She put down the knife and walked into the living room. Her brother was leaning forward, his elbows on his knees, transfixed by the flashes of gore on the screen. Sesshoumaru was frowning though, with his head tilted to one side and his brow furrowed slightly. She recognized the look - it was one that he gave her whenever he didn't quite believe the tales coming from her mouth about the modern era. After more than two years of traveling back and forth, this look had become a lot less common, but she felt the tug of a smile on her lips to see it again. He knew what a television was, of course, so she deduced that it was something on the screen that perplexed him. Not that she was going to look. "What's up?" she asked instead.

"This," he began slowly, waving his hand towards the set, "is completely ridiculous."

Kagome leaned over and picked up the DVD box from where it rested next to their brand new flat-screen television. "It's called Hostel," she said, wrinkling her nose at the cover art. According to the summary, it was about backpackers that got trapped in some dirty little town that had a 'dark, deadly secret'. Right - well, she could guess what that was based on the general tone of what she had heard so far. Not her cup of tea. She put the box down. "The plot does seem rather... far out there."

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "That is not the reason it is ridiculous."

There was another batch of angry yelling and swearing - Kagome hoped that Sesshoumaru wouldn't pick up such words, because that would be extremely awkward to hear them from his mouth - but Sota had lost interest. "Why then?" the boy asked.
