Hello everyone! Thanks for reading this far into my first story. I hope it's not too bad.

Whatever I Want
Feudal Era, Japan
Kagome stretched out her cramped limbs from a semi-restful sleep. They were taking a small break after a very successful attack on Naraku. It had apparently been his "time of month" and he was weak and in his true disgusting form.
They all had attacked at the same time, even Shippo. His spawn were nowhere to be seen and they had almost succeeded in killing him. A well aimed (yeah right) arrow from Kagome had split about half of his jewel from him and a very quick Shippo had collected the fallen shard. Then Kagura decided to show up and take him way.
Kagome was now 17, and it was because of this 2 years experience that they had been able to get the hunk of jewel. Sadly, the group of friends was just too good for their own good and helped too many people to be able to pursue Naraku properly. It was luck that they had come across him at all.
The battle had been quick and relatively painless, he really was a moron that Naraku. Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku were practically frothing at the mouth at the scent of his surely impending demise. But it hadn't happened. At the last minute, Kagura had shown up and taken his head and upper torso away, sadly still containing his beating heart and brain. In fact, they were surprised she had done that at all.
The past few months, she had visited, giving them important information on Naraku. Each time, hinting at his whereabouts, without disclosing anything vital. She did, after all, want to live.
After each visit from the Naraku fairy (Kagome called her this secretly), the group would be in a frenzy of "Lets go and kill him in the most painful way possible" and lo and behold, they went off to wherever Kagura had hinted at. But, since most of this beloved group had ADD, they were distracted on their way there. By an unfortunate village/person/half-demon. To a casual observer, it was quite frustrating, entertaining, but frustrating. Kagura hadn't even come this week, too annoyed to even bother. Apparently she was trying a different approach: Bring Naraku to the ADD Challenged Group. Well it worked perfectly, but for her saving-at-the-last-minute thing going on. Really, if she went through all of this effort to get him killed, she would have let him die.
Pondering the confusing actions of the Wind Demon, Kagome went about her morning routine in Kaede's hut.
Kagome, as stated earlier, was a lovely seventeen year old. Very fit from the last two years of surviving in the Feudal Era. Her hair was waist length and slightly wavy. She had finally gotten rid of the pedophile-like school uniform and was wearing some light blue jeans and a baby blue shirt. In fact school didn't worry her at all any more. She had taken an exam that had let her graduate early. Inuyasha had even given her a month to study without interruption from him. She had passed with great marks on the test and now spent almost all of her time in the past.
She smiled at Kaede, who was making breakfast. Where in the world is everybody else? Shippo was still sleeping on her sleeping pad. He was a lot taller now, and had finally lost that stupid bow on his head. Lately he had started to call her Mom, which she did not stop in any way. She loved the little kitsune like a son, so it was logical to let him call her mom. Then she heard it. The distant sound of a slap and thud. They're by the forest. She headed their way.
She first saw Inuyasha. He was crouching on the side of the road watching the drama unfold before him. The past two years hadn't changed him at all. He was a little taller and thicker but had not developed any other way. Physically, emotionally… maturity… two years ago, her heart would have started to thump wildly at the sight of him in his fire-red haroi, with his long silver hair blowing in the wind, but not any more. They had settled into an easy friend ship a year ago, when they had sent that bitch Kikyo to hell where she belonged. After getting upset at seeing him and Kikyo together (and consequently attacking them both which led to a fight and to the shattering of the clay whore), Inuyasha and Kagome had talked their feelings out (a.k.a being bound, locked and sealed by Miroku, Shippo, Kaede, and Sango in a small hut). They had decided to be friends. With the air cleared, the group found that there was a lot less fights and running away to the modern era. Inuyasha and Kagome were secretly trying to think up a plan to do the same for their two other friends.
Miroku was lying on the ground, a dazed look on his face. Now 19, Miroku was still in his purple monk's robes. He was a lot more toned but his face bore the look of a forty-five year old man. Under his happy exterior, you could just see the sadness that lurked about occasionally. Had he already accepted his death? A few months ago, he had stopped looking at other girls. Something that had lessened the tension in Sango, but he was still lecherous. He wasn't above taking a grope of every female in the vicinity, a small one, but a grope nonetheless. The only thing that didn't change was his torment of Sango.
Who was now walking away from them in a huff. Sending a small smile to Inuyasha, who nodded in reply before talking to Miroku, Kagome followed the irate demon slayer. Sango had grown. She was now a beautiful lady of 19. Her brown hair was cut short in a style she found in a magazine from the future. That wasn't the only thing Kagome had influenced. She also wore some comfortable blue jeans, (she paid for it everyday, Miroku never stopped staring at her legs, she was surprised that he wasn't a drooling idiot from all the head trauma she gave him) and a loose pink blouse. She always had her boomerang with her and it shook in tandem with her furious steps. Kiara followed her master, still cute as ever.
"You know, I think Miroku will think twice next time he tries to grope you," humor never hurt.
"HA! That perverted monk will never learn! He's too stupid," folding her arms and slowing down, Sango and Kagome walked back to Kaede's hut for breakfast.
"You know, I think he likes you," she teased.
"Give it a rest Kagome," Sango sighed tiredly. She seriously was considering giving up on the perverted monk and start looking for a different man to crush on. Miroku was just too…too not her. She wanted a man who would respect her, all of her. Her mind, her talents and her body. Miroku wanted a woman who would giggle incessantly and hang on his arm. And one who wouldn't mind sharing her husband. She sighed again; I'm just going to have to move on. They stepped into Kaede's hut.
"Good morning Kaede,"
"Good morning child. Breakfast is ready"
"Good, I'm starving," Inuyasha said stepping in with Miroku behind him.
They ate breakfast in relative silence.
"When will ye be heading out, children?"
"Oh, in a few days. I think we'll head west? Right guys?" an overenthusiastic Kagome said. All she got was a grunt from Inuyasha and distracted Sango and Miroku. "Fine," she huffed, "Don't pay attention to me."
Rolling his amber eyes, Inuyasha said, "You know…" POP! A little girl appeared on his lap.
Silence.
…
More silence… Some blinking.
"WHAT THE HELL!" screamed Inuyasha standing up. The little girl fell to the ground.
The little girl started to cry. She had black hair, blue eyes and pale skin and was dressed in her pajamas. She looked to be about five and terrified.
