Title: Once upon a cell phone

Author: Anonymous Fangirl

Summary: This is the epilogue. If you don't know the summary by now. . . than you are a hopeless cause. You need some serious help, and I'm not going to be the one to give it to you. Get out and never come back.

Etc: Wow… the epilogue… it's here already? I actually wrote this after I wrote chapter four, so… I've had the story pretty much planned out. Anyways, it's been real great writing this… I hope that I have converted some of you to Miroku Kagome fans. Seriously… the pairing is awesome!

Dedicated: To Kaythren Erum. Your review for chapter ten was, well, it got the story dedicated to you! Suffice to say, it was a pretty awesome review. Thanks for the kick ass reviews! (and I didn't even have to beg you!)

Well, here's the epilogue…

And, well, I guess it's time to say goodbye to once upon a cell phone.

Wow… this was my favorite one…

It was good.

It was unconventional.

IT WAS A FRIGGIN MIROKU KAGOME!

On with the fic…

…Epilogue

"… and they all lived happily ever after." Kagome told her daughter with a smile as she stroked a single lock of her dark black hair back behind her ear. It was amazing, Kagome realized as she looked back, how much Seira looked like her father. How much she looked like either of them. Her hair was curled, much like her fathers, but the same color as her mothers. Her eyes had the same shape as Kagome's, but they held that glint in them that only Miroku had. Her face was petite but spirited: it fit her well. She was six feet of fireworks jammed in to three and a half feet of six year old girl.

"Mommy, I want to hear the other story. You know, the one about the people who could travel back and forth in time…" Seira said with an expectant look on her face.

Kagome grinned and facked a groan of dismay. "Again? But you heard that one last night!"

Seira nodded knowingly, in a very Miroku fashion. "And the night before, and the night before, and the night before. But I want to hear it again!"

Kagome laughed. "Alright. Let's see, how does it start again?" She asked, looking at Seira through a half closed eye. She tapped her finger against her lips and hmmed…

Seira sighed. "It starts like every other story. Once upon a time…"

Kagome nodded. "Oh yeah! Once upon a time, there was a pretty normal high school girl. She wasn't that special… her grades were average at best and she wasn't at all pretty. One day, she was pulled down a well…"

"… where she woke up a dog demon and he saved her from a centipide demoness who wanted to steal a sacred jewel that was in her body. I know that part mom… can't you skip ahead to boy?" Seira asked with a grin.

"Ah yes, the boy." Miroku said as he suddenly appeared behind Kagome, stopping her from falling backwards in fright by hocking one arm behind her back. "The boy was devilishly handsome, and from much farther in the future than the girl. The girl would tell the boy otherwise, but she was immidiately smitten with him."

"She was not." Kagome said.

"Was too!" Miroku and Seira said with smile.

"She had to have been, mom!"

"Why is that?" Kagome asked with a grin plastered on her face.

Miroku shrugged. "Because he was hopelessly smitten with her."

Seira held a finger to her lips. "But she was suppose to be with the dog demon… everyone thought so!"

Miroku shook his fingers. "Not the boy. He knew that she deserved better."

Kagome threw her arms in the air, feiging exhastperation. "Who's telling the story here?"

"Sorry." Father and daughter said simultenously.

"Anyways, the girl considered the boy a dear friend, until one day they were trapped with a goddess in a holy spring. That day, they both began to care for each other much more. They began to notice little things about each other."

Seira sighed. "Mommy, you skipped the part with the cell phone!"

Miroku flopped next to Seira. "Yeah, the cell phone!"

Kagome laughed. "Fine, maybe the girl began to think of the boy as more than a friend when he showed her that he was from the future by stealing her cell phone."

"I did not steal it." Miroku said calmly.

"You did too. You pulled it right out of my hands."

"The call was for me."

"Besides the point. It was my cell phone."

"So? You stole my cell phone later on!"

"Only because I thought you were going to die and I wanted them to take you to your time when you could be properly treated!"

"You still stole it."

"You stole mine first."

"Point?"

"Moot."

"Mommy, daddy, please. Just finish the story." Seira said with a yawn.

Kagome shook her head. "Alright. So the girl and the boy had many adventures together after that, and they grew farther apart from their friends and closer to each other with each one."

Kagome didn't feel the need to cry as she looked back. They all paired off well. Shippo ended up with Ayumi after she joined them, Sango and Inuyasha lived together in as close to peace as they could ever have, and Miroku and Kagome…

Kagome looked down at Seira, her own little girl.

"Naraku was angry with the boy for being happy. He threatened the boy with the girl, telling him he would kill her, and make her hate him. He would take her from him. The boy couldn't allow that." Miroku said with his face grave as he stroked his daughters hair.

"The girl didn't know it at the time, but she was in grave danger and the boy would stop at nothing to save her." Kagome continued.

"So they set off together to destroy Naraku." Seira said, yawning deeply. "Skip to the part where the boy saves her."

Miroku grinned, a cocky half grin that had Kagome groaning. He always got to tell this part! "Well, the girl, who was now hopelessly in love with the boy, wanted to save him from the hell hole in his hand and everything else that could have possible hurt him. So she ran away, hoping that all of the danger would follow her instead of him." Miroku shook a finger at Kagome. "The foolish girl thought that it would make things all better, but it actually caused the boy to over exsert himself in a battle, fracturing his hell hole. Then Naraku had came, determined to watch the boy suffer in his fainal moments. When it seemed the boy would stop at nothing to have Naraku's head, he swept up the girl and used her as s shield. He didn't faulter and released the hell hole."

Kagome shuddered as she remembered the voice Naraku used. The voice he used when he was so sure he won. See Kagome? He would rather have my head than your heart…

"But the girl trusted the boy now, and smiling, she allowed herself to be pulled in. At the very last second, the boy tilted his hand and the girl crashed in to him.. He held her tightly as he finished off Naraku with the very weapon he had given him."

Kagoem smiled as she looked down at her daughter, their daughter, the result of their love. She had fallen asleep, and was being tucked in by her loving daddy/

"Do you think they'll live happily ever after?" Kagome asked as she kissed her daughter on the cheek.

Miroku swept her up in to his arms and kissed her, just like he had proposed to her, all those years ago. "I know they will." Miroku said as he pulled her out of the room, bridal style.

Kagome giggled. "You know, Miroku, Seira had wanted a little sister or brother…"

Miroku threw his head back and laughed a deep hearty laugh that was becoming a more and more often occurance. "That's my girl!"

At the foot of the stairs that lead up in to their rooms, Kagome put her head in to the crock of Miroku's neck. "I've been thinking…"

"Yeah? About what?" Miroku asked as he spun around in one circle before beginning the ascent up the stairs.

"Our story should be made in to a kids book. You know, with art and stuff."

"Art and stuff…" Miroku said with a hearty chuckle. "And I know just where we should start it."

"Where?" Kagome asked, cocking her head to one side.

Miroku shrugged. "Seira said herself that she likes to skip to the part where you find out I'm from the future."

Kagome giggled. "Yeah… we can start it with, once upon a cell phone…"

Miroku shrugged. "Sounds good to me." He kicked the bedroom door shut behind him with smile.

. . . Fin.
