Kagome is reading through a textbook at her school, only to find a chapter on her adventures with the Shikon-no-Tama! She reads on, and discovers that Inuyasha is supposed to die in battle in the next few days! She knows she has to try and stop it, but how can she if it's already happened? This is my first fanfic, so please R&R!

Can Time Be Changed?

Ch1: Shikon-no-tama, page 127

"I'll see ya later guys! I'll be back in about a week!" Giving one last smile at her feudal friends, Kagome jumped into the Bone-eaters well. With a flash of faint blue light, she crossed over to her time.

Well, that wasn't too bad, Kagome thought happily as she climbed up the well's ladder. Eight jewel shards in 2 weeks, and the demons we took them from weren't even that hard to defeat! Only 13 more shards to go, not counting the two Kouga has...and of course Naraku. if we can get those last 13, maybe we can defeat Naraku and take his! after all, he had most of them.

Kagome shook her head, putting aside the thoughts of the jewel. she had come home for a much needed break, and for once it wasn't because she was mad at Inuyasha! she was here tp relax for a few days, and that meant no thoughts about the jewel! she'd worry about that later. Kagome hoisted herself over the top of the well, slipped her latest jewel shard in her pocket, and ran out of the shrine. She was already wearing her uniform, and she had her backpack with her, so she had no need to stop by the house. And I'm probably already late! With that thought, she raced down the shirne steps and headed to school as fast as she could.

"Kagome!"

"Hey, Kagome!"

"Over here!"

Kagome turned around to see three smiling faces looking over at her. Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi ran up to her.

"Hey Kagome, how are you feeling?" said Eri.

"Ya, your Grandfather said you had a bad case of Rheumatism." Yuka said in a worried tone.

"Did you have to go to the hospital?" Ayumi asked her curiously.

Kagome tryed to wave off their concerns. "Oh, no, don't worry! I'm doing great, but I may not be at school next week. Even now I'm feeling a little weird." They looked at her with a worried expression. All too late Kagome realised her mistake, and mentaly slapped herself. Kagome That was the stupidest thing you've ever done!

"Are you sure you should be at school if you're not feeling well?"

"Ya, you might make it worse…"

Trying to cover up her mistake Kagome replied, "Na, I can take it! I'm not THAT sick" lucky for her, her friends were dense enough to believe her without questioning her.

"We have history together now, right?" Yuka asked Kagome and Eri.

"Yep!" Eri said happily.

Kagome smiled at them "Ya, but I gotta get some stuff from my locker first. I'll meet you two there, kay?"

They nodded, and, knowing she would be late for class if she didn't hurry, Kagome ran towards the school.

And not a moment to soon! Just as she ran in the school doors, the bell rang and hundreds of students rushed to their classes. She hurried over to her locker, only to find (as luck would have it)…

"Oi! Kagome!"

"Oh, hi Hojo," greeeeeat! This is just what I need!

Hojo was leanind against her locker, smileing at her warmly. "I thought you might be in today. Are you feeling better? How's your Arthritis? Oh, and I also heard you had a kidney infection! Is it serious?"

Thoughts: Grandpa! Kagome flashed him a forced smile. "Oh, don't worry, I'm doing much better. But...look Hojo, I can't talk right now, we're already late for class. We'd better hurry!" She tried to take off down the hall, but Hojo grabbed her arm.

"Hang on, Kagome. You should probably take this fruit," he said, pulling a fruit basket out from behind his back, "It does wonders for all kinds of aches and pains, and it'll help your kidneys."

"Oh… uh… thanks Hojo."

Hojo still didn't let go of her arm though, and looked in her eyes. "Look, Kagome. I was wondering if you were busy…"

Kagome cut him off quickly. "Hojo, the bell already rang! I gotta go!" And before he could ask her out on a date, she had taken off down the hallway and ran into history class.

Disappointed, Hojo followed her with his head down into the history classroom and went to his seat. he looked at Kagome, who was sitting a few rows ahead of him, and was unknowingly stareing at her. When she looked backwards he waved and looked away, but continued to stare at her once her back was turned. she's so beautiful. i hope she isn't feeling too bad, school isnt enjoyable without her here. To his dismay, his thoughts were diverted from Kagome when the history teacher took his place at the front of the class.

"Get out your text books and turn to Page 127. Read everything up to page 131. I'll be giving you a test on it tomorrow." he said in a bored tone, going over to his desk and picking up a magazine. "Kagome, can you pass out the text books Eri?"

Kagome sighed, this was going to be one of those boring classes. "Sure Mr. Atuki." She and Eri began passing out the books until there were none left, then took their seats. She started flipping through her book to look for the page she was supposed to read; 125, 126, 127… Kagome let out a low gasp. Page 127, The Shikon-no-tama; Jewel of the Four Souls!

Awed, Kagome stared at her book for nearly a minuter, mouth open and eyes wide in shock. She was lost in thought, wondering how much the writers of this book knew, and how they knew it. Soon another thought came to her. This might tell me something I didn't know about everyone! Or how things will turn out! this could be a way to see whats going to happen to us! Kagome only snapped back into reality when Yuka poked her with her pencil. "Kagome?" she whispered nerviously.

Confused, Kagome looked up to find several of her classmates staring at her. She realised that she had been muttering to herself, and everyone was looking at her like she was a nutcase. Embarassed, she coughed lightly, turning her gaze back down the the page. Takeing a deep breath, she managed to calm herself down (at least on the outside. on the inside she was bubbling with excitement), and began to read the page.

Most of the first page was dedicated to the creation of the jewel, and how the priestess Midoriko and a powerful demon's souls were trapped inside. As she read on, it got to how the Demon Slayers gave the jewel to the priestess Kikyo, who had the power to purify the jewel. Then they explained a little bit about Kikyo, and then about…Inuyasha? It must be him, she thought, He was the only 'Half demon' who was around Kikyo when she was alive. Ah, yes, there was his name!

Then they spoke of how Kikyo bound Inuyasha to a tree for 50 years, and how the jewel was shattered when Inuyasha was freed. They also spoke of how Inuyasha and cop. met, and began traveling around collecting jewel shards. The book didn't have too many details on all their adventures, but it did happen to mention that they were searching for a common enemy. Kagome was very relieved to find that whoever published the book either didn't know her name, or for some reason decided not to write it in the book. She didn't want to think about how her classmates would react if her name was included in this fairytale like story. Fortunatly for her, it seemed to refer to her as 'the young priestess with a very strange appearance.'

Kagome turned the page, only to find a gorgeous and surprisingly life-like sketch of Inuyasha. Her Inuyasha! He looked so hot in that sketch...she truly began to wonder who had drawn it. To her dismay, she heard most of the other girls in the classroom giggling and whispering about how cute he was. Kagome felt a sudden wave of jealousy when she heard their girlish whispers, but Mr. Atuki. snapped at the girls, ordering them to be quiet and keep reading. Grateful to her teacher for once, the jealousy was gone.

As Kagome read on, one of the paragraphs caught her attention. It mentioned her and Inuyasha. Just her and Inuyasha! Kagome's eyes went wide and eager, just dieing to read what it said about them...hopefully as more then just friends.

Soon after the search for the Jewel of Four Souls began, the half demon Inuyasha and the Strange Priestess brgan to feel some emotion towards eachother. hurt and heartbroken by Kikyo's betrayal, Inuyasha was unsure if he could ever love again. The strange priestess, who was Kikyo's reincarnation, loved inuyasha, but feared that she wsas too much like Kikyo to ever win his love. Eventually though, Inuyasha did indeed fall in love, though neither were willing to admit it. As they traveled and collected more Jewel Shards, their love increased and became slowly more obvious to their companions, and eachother. But the Priestess still wasn't sure if the Hanyou still had feelings for Kikyo, so she still held back. After realizing that he didn't, they became absorbed by their love as their true feelings blossomed.

OMG! Kagome thought, hope filling her heart. Does this mean that he really does love me? That he actually loves me more than Kikyo? could i really mean more to him then a shard-detector? Eager to find out more, Kagome quickly turned the page, heart beating rapidly with excitement.

She read on for about a minute when she saw something that made her heart stop dead. At the top of page 230 was the subtitle; Battle With Suratiku, Inuyasha's Final Battle.
