Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters…maybe one day

Note: The Inu-gang have defeated Naraku and there are only three shards left to get (two which Kouga has).

Chapter One: Pre-birthday talks

The Inu-gang was about to set out one morning, when Kagome asked, "Inuyasha, can I go home?"

Inuyasha looked at her, She usually doesn't ask, I wonder what's up. "Why?" he inquired.

"Well, it's my eighteenth birthday tomorrow and it's a big deal in my time, so I was hoping to spend it with my family. I know my mom really wants be back, "explained Kagome.

"Well I guess," Responded Inuyasha, "but only one-

He was cut off as Kagome hugged him, "Oh, thank-you, Inuyasha!" she exclaimed happily.

He noticed Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kilala watching them with interest, so he blushed slightly and said, "Feh, whatever."

Miroku was about say something to embarrass both Inuyasha and Kagome, when we saw the warning looking he was getting from Sango, so instead he inquired, "Shall we head back to Kaede's village then?

Everyone nodded, and then Sango, Miroku and Shippo got on to Kilala and Kagome got on Inuyasha's back.

About ten minutes later, Kagome asked, "Inuyasha, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Depends what it is," remarked Inuyasha.

Well here goes nothing. Thought Kagome, and then asked, "Do you want to come back with me?"

Inuyasha was not suspecting that, so he almost missed the tree branch, "What?" he asked as he regained his balance.

"I was kind of hoping you'd come with me..back to my time..It would mean a lot to me.. if you were with me on my birthday." She explained, "So will you come?"

Duh, I had plans on coming anyway..but I won't tell her that. "Yeah, if you're sure you want me there." He remarked.

"There's nothing I'd want more," responded Kagome. I can't believe he agreed! She thought happily.

An hour or so later, Kagome and Inuyasha walked into Kagome's house.

"Where is everyone?" Inuyasha asked, as he sniffed the air, smelling for their scents.

Kagome answered, "Probably out buying party supplies. Come on let's go up stairs, so I can unpack and repack my backpack," and then she headed up stairs.

Inuyasha followed her up the stairs silently, while he thought Why do I suddenly feel so nervous...Oh, right because Kagome and I are her house by ourselves..I got to stop hanging around that crooked monk; he's starting to rub off on me!

Wow, Inuyasha and I have the place to ourselves…wait, why am I thinking stuff like that? Oh, great I'm getting as bad as Miroku! Thought Kagome, as she went into her room and began to unpack her back pack. I just have to keep busy until mom and the others get back. She tried to reassure herself.

Inuyasha sat down on Kagome's bed and then stared at Kagome and thought, God, she's beautiful…my lovely Kagome…wait, MY KAGOME!? Where the hell did that come from!?

Oh, great he's staring at me..that can't be good. She thought and then asked, "Why are you staring at me?" as she picked out some new clothes to pack.

"I'm not staring!" Inuyasha yelled and looked away.

Kagome rolled hers and thought. He was probably imaging Kikyo or something.. Suddenly she thought of something, so she inquired, "Inuyasha, we've almost collected all the jewel shards. So what are we going to do once the jewel is whole again?"

WE..why did she just say we? Maybe she wants us to stay together..no, who would ever care for filthy half demon? Not even Kikyo cared for me as a half demon..He thought and then replied, "What do you want, Kagome?"

She was a little taken back by the question, but answered softly, "I'd like to stay with you," and then looked at him.

WHAT…Did she just say that? Maybe she does care about me..okay, but what do I say now? Well she was honest with me, so I will be honest with her. Inuyasha thought and then finally answered, "I'd like that too, Kagome"

Oh my God, he wants to stay with me! She thought and then exclaimed, "Oh, Inuyasha!" and hugged him, almost knocking him over. What surprised her even more was that he hugged her back.

"Promise you'll never leave me," she whispered to him.

He whispered, "I promise."

"Me too," she whispered back.

Then they looked into each others eyes, then they got closer and closer…and then—Kagome's mom walked in.

"Oh, Kagome, honey you're home," said Mrs. H, and then looked at Inuyasha, "Nice to see you, Inuyasha."

Kagome responded, "Hi mom, yes we're back and Inuyasha is staying for my birthday."

Kagome's mom's eyes went wide, as she exclaimed, "HE IS?"

Kagome looked worriedly at her mother and asked, "That's okay right?"

"Well…of course…but, dear I need to talk to you about something." Mrs. H said, "Let's go talk in my room. Please excuse us, Inuyasha. Sota is downstairs setting up, if you want to go help him."

"Keh," said Inuyasha and went downstairs.

Kagome and her mom went into her mom's room. Her mother sat down in an arm chair and signaled for Kagome to sit on the bed.

Kagome sat down on the bed and asked, "What is it mom?"

Her mom looked at her and answered, "For the past eighteen years I've lied to you, Kagome."

"How so?" she inquired.

"That man you thought was your father isn't. He's Sota's father, but not yours," replied her mother.

"What?!" exclaimed Kagome.

Kagome's mother looked at her, and replied, "I so sorry Kagome, I wanted to tell you so many times, but I just couldn't do it."

"Its okay mom, I mean I barely knew dad-I mean Souta's dad anyway." commented Kagome and then gulped, afraid to ask the next logical question, but she did. "Who is my dad though?"

"When I was fifteen, I pulled into the same well as you and when I got out of the well I was kidnapped by spider demons. Anyway, it was your father that saved me from the spider demon," explained her mother.

"Why did you wait until today to tell me?" inquired Kagome.

"Tonight is the night the spell wares off," replied her mother.

"What spell?" asked Kagome.

Her mom responded, "The spell that keeps your demon blood dormant. You are a half demon, Kagome; a half dog demon to be exact.

"WHAT!?" Kagome exclaimed.

Well that's it for the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it.

By the way, Inuyasha and Kagome have been traveling for three years, so that's why they are nicer to each other now. Just thought I'd clear that up for people.
