The age of deadline
By: Botan Son

Kagome jumped from the well and walked out into the sunshine of her original time followed closely by Inuyasha. She opened the door of her house and walked into the kitchen to find her mother had left a note for her, as she read Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her head.

" Inuyasha."

"Hmmmmmmm?"

" What are you doing?"

"Can't I treat my mate like I'm supposed to?"

Inuyasha nuzzled her neck where the mark was.

" Because after all, you are my mate."

" Silly Puppy."

" So I'm a puppy am I?"

"My mom left a note."

"Feh."

Kagome read the letter.

Dear Kagome,

Me, Souta and your grandfather have gone to visit a friend who has recently become sick. We'll be gone for about three weeks hopefully you'll get this letter. There's plenty of ramen in the pantry for your little doggy friend. I also went shopping and got something's you might find useful there all laying on your bed along with some candy for that adorable little fox child. We'll see you in a few weeks.

Love,
Mom, Grandpa, and Souta

"She doesn't know. I haven't told her yet."

"Tell her what?"

"You know what." Inuyasha smirked.

"No I don't"

Kagome gave him a " your-such-a-jerk" look.

"I haven't told my family that you're my mate."

Inuyasha kissed her head again.

"Yeah, I know. I just wanted to hear you say it."

Kagome sighed.

"So what's the note say?"

"Just that my family is going to visit someone and won't be back for a couple weeks."

" Feh."

" Well you asked."

" I think now that. were together I am going to try something a little different."

"Like what?"

"You'll see. But were going to stay here for a few days."

"If you say so."

Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha and walked to the other side of the kitchen. She picked up the phone and dialed a number.

" Now what are you doing?"

"Like I said before, I'm gonna try something different."

"Feh."

Shouyuki's house

" Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring,."

Shouyuki picked up the phone.

"hello."

" Hey Yuki."

"Sup kag? Got any new diseases you wanna tell me about? (hear the sarcasm)"

Kagome had told Shouyuki that she really had never had anything wrong with her but she was doing something way more important and more interesting than school.

" Yeah, right."

"So if it's not that what could it be that your calling me for after not talking for nearly a month?"

"Oh shut up."

"Well."

" Alright, here's the deal. wanna see what I've been up to while I aint in school?"

"OOOOOOOOOOO! YES I WOULD!"

" Well I'm at a point where I think I could show you. but not anyone else. OK?"

"YES!"

"Ok, so come over here and I'll give you the scoop!"

"I'll be right over!"

Like 5 seconds later

"DING DONG"

Kagome opened the door.

"Wow, that was fast."

"You think I'm gonna take my time when I am gonna get to see what my best friend has been doing while all the rest of us have been slaving away at school?"

" What ever."

" Whoa."

"What?"

"Ok. so. are. you. going. to . tell. me. that. you . have.some special power. to . make. my.. drawings. come to . life?"

"Huh?"

Shouyuki pointed over Kagome's shoulder at a boy with long silver hair and dog ears.

"Oh.*GASP*"

" Well what other pictures can you bring to life!"

" Stupid! I can't do that! That's Inuyasha, the guy I have been traveling with."

Shouyuki wasn't listening though she had shoved passed Kagome and was standing in front of Inuyasha looking from him to a piece of paper in her hands. "He looks exactly like it."

" Kagome, come here. Look at this, it looks just like me." Inuyasha yelled to Kagome.

"What?"

"Just come here."

Kagome walked over to her mate and best friend.

" WOW!"

" See Kag, I told u it looked just like him."

"Whoa, I knew you could draw, but I didn't know you could draw things that existed in the past!"

"What do you mean."

"Well that's what I got u over here for."

"Ok."

"Sit back this is gonna be a long story."

Inuyasha sat on the couch and pulled Kagome on to his lap. Shouyuki sat on a cushy chair across from them, and Kagome told the story of her excersions to the fudal era up to where the left the well and called Shouyuki that day.

"Wow."

Kagome just looked at her holding her breath hoping that she would believe it.

"Well, uuuuuuuh, s-so you have a. mate."

"Yup."

"WOW!" (the information finally got through.)

Inuyasha flinched at the screech.

" So this is what I have been up to."

Kagome gave a weak smile.

" You know, your such a bitch. I mean all the rest of us have been living a BOARING life here, where nothing ever happens, while your running off to the fudal era, battling demons, falling in love, being swept off your feet by frikin HOT dog demon."

"Half demon."

"Half demon who's got just about the coolest sword in the world! Don't you think that it was being kind of selfish to keep all this to your self!? *sigh* Your life is like a fairy tale. What am I talking about your life IS a fairy tale!"

"yeah. Hey wait! Did you say that Inuyasha was hot?"

"Are you kidding!? Hellow. I am talking like F. I. N. E.!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and mumbled under her breath.

"you think he's hot I can't wait till' you see his brother."

Only Inuyasha should have heard it.

"hey. "

" OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HE'S GOT A BROTHER!?"

"You heard that?"

"Of course I did."

" Hey by the way since were all telling secrets here, where have you been?"

"Huh?"

"I mean everyone says that you haven't been in school lately."

"uuuumm. aaaaaaa. well."

"come on I told you my stuff, now it's your turn, spill it."

" You wouldn't believe me if I told you!"

"Yeah right."

"Ok but I have a feeling that dog boy here wouldn't like me too much and might try and chop me up. And I don't think you'll like me very much either."

"Hey look I hang out with a moody demon exterminator, a perverted monk, a kitsune pup and my puppy here. We battle demons and gather shards. How bad could it be?"

" Uuuuuh. ok. well . I sorta am. uuuuuhh. a spirit detective."

Shouyuki glanced at Inuyasha and inched to the other side of the room.

"and I am.uuuuuuuh the grim reaper."

"YOUR WHAT!?"

"the grim reaper" she squeaked out.

"WOW!"

"Not so loud. There are people with sensitive ears around." growled Inuyasha.

" So does that mean you can take car of yourself. like fight.?"

"yeah"

"Well then, that's a realeif."

"WHAT? What are you talking about?"

"Well I thought I would take you back with me. But I was worried about what might happen. Like if you would be hurt or something, but now I know that you can fight for yourself I'm not as worried."

"your gonna bring e back with you?"

"I intended to."

"Cool!"

Several hours late

Kagome, Inuhasha and Shouyuki had packed up all the things they would need and were ready to go back to the feudal era.

"Is everybody ready?" asked Kagome.

"Yup"

"Feh"

" Ok then, lets go."

" How do you know what he is saying?"

"Well I have been with him so long, I just sorta know. Like it's just something you know."

" Oh like. Inuyasha language?"

"Yeah! That's what it's called! Inuyasha language!"

" Feh. Lets just go."

All three of them jumped down the well.
