Oops I let the Secret Slip

Chapter One

'Oopses'

"She's not yours!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I've Claimed her, that makes her mine!" Kouga argured.

"Umm...guys..." Kagome muttered

"You don't know where Kagome comes from!"

"I don't need to. I'd still love her."

"You don't even know her MOTHER!"

"I'll meet her at the wedding."

"Inuyasha, Kouga there's a-"

"You're not marrying her and that's final."

"What'll you do to stop me?" This had become the most physical fights between the two suitors of Kagome. Sango and Miroku were reduced to holding back the 'Casanova's' while Kagome was shoved to the sideline for fear of losing a limb.

"People! Something's co-" Kagome disappeared.

"Kagome? Kagome!" Everyone (freaked)

"You demons are pathetic. Too busy fighting each other to realize your little human wench is being stalked." A blue-eyed demon was holding Kagome around the waist in the branches of an ash tree.

"Who are you and what do you want with Kagome?" Inuyasha demanded, getting into his fighting stance.

"What he said!" Kouga mimicked.

"My name is unimportant. Like you, I have also fallen for this beautiful maiden, and she can see my shikon shards to boot! She'll be the perfect addition to my collection."

"Let her go!" Inuyasha ordered. The demon laughed.

"She's mine now! The powerful and beautiful priestess belongs to me!"

"Actually, I'm not as powerful or as beautiful as Kikyo. And she can see the shards too." Kagome interrupted. The invader stopped laughing manically.

"Well why didn't you say so?" The demon said, dropping her as he sped off. The sudden shock froze Inuyasha and Kouga for a moment and that was all gravity needed. Kagome didn't hit the ground, but a large tree branch slowed her fall. Almost immediately after the branch hit her, she was in both Inuyasha and Kouga's arms.

They ran together all the way to Kaede's.

Kagome's friends from school, Eri Ayumi and Yuka, came over to visit Kagome unexpectedly and ,after Mrs. Higurashi sent them up, discovered a very odd sight indeed. A boy in a red kimono and...dog ears? The same boy who crashed the play at the Culture Festival. Inuyasha was not wearing a hat and he knew he would get 'sat' unless he ran, but he wouldn't leave Kagome alone in this state. The girls stared at him silently, frozen in the doorway, in different states of shock.

'Wow! He's hot. I wonder if this is the jealous boy friend." Yuka grinned at the thought.

"They're so cute!' Ayumi squealed imagining herself in doggy ears, silver, hair and pretty golden eyes.

'Are those dog ears?' Eri wondered, staring pointedly at his ears. 'Maybe it's a costume.'

Then Kagome sat up.

I woke up to hear an excited squeal from Ayumi. "They are so cute!" She ran closer and I heard a familiar growl.

"No touchy." I heard Inuyasha growl. 'Inu-INUYASHA!?!' I sat up and cried out in pain as my broken ribs protested, strongly, to the movement.

'These girls are scarier than demons. Maybe that's why Kagome isn't afraid to come to the feudal era and help us.' I turned hearing Kagome gasps of pain. 'Shit! She moved!' "Why are you moving?!" I demanded, checking her state and listening in her chests for twig-breaking sounds. (Like Kaede told me to.)

"Where's your hat?" She gasped, falling back.

"I didn't know they were coming!" I yelled, "They should have knocked before they barged in!"

"Why didn't you smell them or-or hear them? You should be ready for someone to walk in! I'm not friendless here!" She argued right back.

"But they shouldn't come waltzing in like they live here!" I countered.

"We don't have the same rules as you do in the Feudal Era!" She explained breathily.

"Wait a second! Feudal Era," Ayumi demanded. "as in back 500+ years!"

Kagome looked away from Inuyasha around to look to where she heard the voice.

"Kagome! Kagome! Kagome!" The boy yelled, "Go downstairs for warm water!" He ordered, grabbing a small vile tied around his neck and he opened the stopper. It smelled like raspberries, turnips, and onions. The boy scrunched his nose to the smell and gave Kagome a few drops to swallow. Her eyes fluttered open and look at him. She gave him one of her award-winning-100-watt smiles.

"You wouldn't believe the dream I had. I woke up and we fought and my friends turned up. Hey, how long have you been sitting here, Inu? Oooo! I like that. Inu, Inu, Inu, Inu! Can I call you Inu?" She asked. She seemed a little out of it.

"Since we got through the well and no." He answered her bluntly, we watched as he slowly turned pinker under her gaze.

"Really? Well I didn't think you'd do something like that. You're always trying to protect your bad-boy image. That is totally out of the ordinary for you. How sweet. I love it when you do that kind of thing. You know what else I love? School burgers. They have such interesting tastes. Have you ever had anything interesting? Of course you have. You're a half-demon and a very cute one at that. I love your ears. They are so kawaii! Just like my little cousin, Sora. She loves the…" she was babbling. Barely taking a breath between sentences.

'Maybe that potion isn't for humans. Uh oh.' The boy placed his hand on her forehead and leaned forward slightly.

"Hey why are you staring at me? And why are you leaning in like that? And touching me? Oh! I know why." She started giggling like crazy. She pulled the boy's wrist, causing him to lose balance, and kissed him.

I was feeling light headed and couldn't keep my mouth shut. Suddenly I could see my face near Inuyasha's so I did what any inhibited female would do to a face like that above her. I leaned forward and caught his mouth with mine. I had been dieing to do that since...forever. It was short and meaningless but I was still embarrassed that I had finally kissed the guy I was crushing on. I could feel my face heating up.

"Ahem." I heard a voice say from the door. I turned to see Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri standing in the doorway.

"So it really wasn't a dream."

"Damnit! You, give her 2 drops of this when she wakes up. It'll heal some smaller cracks," The boy said handing Eri a vile of bright blue liquid. "I need to get more herbs if she's gonna keep this up. Watch her, will you?" With one more look at Kagome, he walked out and down the stairs. Watching out the window we watched him walk to the well house on the grounds and go in. A few seconds later, a light illuminated the doorway. Then nothing.

"Well that was interesting." Yuka said.

'I can't believe she kissed me. Was it just the potion or did she want to kiss me? I bet the old hag'll know.' I hurried to Kaede's hut and walked into the village. Reaching Kaede's hut, I heard a smack and Sango yelling "Damnit Hentai!" echoing from inside. 'Miroku must have gotten Sango really pissed this time' I thought.

"Hey! Is Kaede here?" I asked staring at the red handprint that covered all of the unconscious Miroku's face.

"She's at the shrine." Sango spat out at me. I hurried out of there and began the trek up the stairs.

"Hi Inuyasha!" said the most annoying voice in the world. "I left because Miroku had that look in his eye and I didn't wanna get on Sango's bad side."

"Good thinking," I muttered

"How's Momma?" Shippou asked, meaning Kagome, his second mom. Ever since we defeated Naraku he had been getting closer to her and calling her 'momma'. I was jealous of his closeness to Kagome though I wouldn't tell anyone.

"She's sleeping. That's it." Not wanting to talk to Shippou any longer, I made my way up to the shrine, but he followed me.

"You know it really is your fault she's hurt. You're the one who was fighting with Kouga about how Momma isn't his mate and weren't watching when that demon attacked. You really should have been paying attenti-AHHHHHHH!" Satisfied with him after a knock on the head, I continued on my way.

"Keep to your own business." I growled.

"Is that ye, Inuyasha?" Kaede asked.

"Yea, yea." I answered. "I wanted to ask if the Healing Potion could be used on humans?"

"That's why I gave ye that potion, to heal young Kagome. Why?" She asked.

"Well she started talking non-stop then she…umm..." I couldn't finish that sentence.

"Finish, Inuyasha, I cannot help ye if I do not know the problem." She said.

"Well she ...umm... kissed me." I mumbled blushing profusely

"Speak up boy. I can't hear ye." She told me

"She kissed me! Happy now!" I yelled trying to hide my blush.

"Well that can happen the first time the potion is taken. They can have temporary lightheadedness, slip of the tongue, and loss of senses." Kaede recited, continuing her duties.

"You should have told me that before!"

I APOLOGIZE!!!! I have many excuses but you MUST know that I have a hrad copy, sitting right next to me, completely covered in red marks.
