Chapter 1: The Request
Starlite: Hey! This is my first IY fic so no flames please! I don't own Inuyasha but I do own any other character that doesn't appear in the anime/manga. Remember to ALWAYS REVIEW! Enjoy!
It was a rainy, stormy, nasty day. There was no way they could get anyone out in it and those who did go out in it we're considered fools. The Yasha Gang was staying with Kaede until the storm passed so they could go look for the Shikon Shards, but the bad weather didn't look like it was anywhere near about to stop.
"So, got any threes?" Miroku asked Shippo as they played Go Fish.
"Nope. Got any Jacks?" he replied.
"No."
"You lying monk! You've got three of 'em!" Sango yelled.
"(sigh) Why do you have to spoil all my fun?" he whined
"Why do you always have to cheat?" she sighed.
"Because Shippo is really good at Go Fish."
"You're pitiful..."
Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting beside the fire that Kaede had made and were hoping to fall asleep soon.
"Hey Inuyasha, do you think we will be able to go looking for Shikon shards tommorrow?"
"I hope so, but no. Not in this rain. I should send you in it and make you look for them since you were the one who broke it in the first place."
"Inuyasha, you know I was just trying to help!"
"Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that you broke it!"
"Grrrrr....Sit!!!"
THUD!!!
"Kagome....Hold it! Someone's here!" he growled.
Tap tap tap...
"Lemme get it..."he said with his claws bared.
When he flung open the door he saw standing out in the middle of the rain storm Jinenji and his mother.
"May we come in?" he asked politely.
"Yes, yes come in." Kaede said from behind Inuyasha.
Somehow Jinenji had changed. He was shorter, he had more hair, he was thinner, and his eyes were smaller. It seemed that he was looking more human than ever before. He could comfortably fit inside Kaede's small home. Kagome could tell that something was bothering him by his body language. He was avoiding eye contact with everyone and he was sitting in the corner as usual.
"Kagome, get them some tea."
"Yes Kaede." she replied.
"No, don't bother. We're here to talk to Kagome." Jinenji's mother quickly corrected.
"Oh! What might you need?" she said.
"Well, I'm not going to beat around the bush. As you can see, everyday Jinenji is becoming more and more human. In exactly one week his transformation will be complete and he will be in human form for one week. After that weeks is over he will return to his half-demon form. The next time he will turn back into a demon will be in five years, but he has been ill lately and his health is declining. We both doubt that he will live that long."
"Oh my! That's so sad!" Kagome gasped.
"Indeed. That's why we came to you. We have a favor to ask of you."
"Yes?"
"Tell her yourself, Jinenji."
"Ummmm, well, Kagome you were so kind to me the last time we saw each other and I felt and emotion that I've never felt before when I'm around you...Ma wants...Ma wants..." he hesitated.
"What does she want?" Kagome asked politely.
"Out with it boy!" his mother commanded.
"Ma wants a grandchild." he flinched.
Kagome was moved to tears. She sat weeping for almost five minutes but Inuyasha finally calmed her down.
"What he is asking is if you will bear his child. According to the way he has been going he should end up looking like his father when he is in his human form. Please Kagome. We both want this more than anything else in the world."
"Oh my, I don't know what to say. But what about the...the..." Kagome fainted.
"This is good, Jinenji!" his mother smiled. "She hasn't said 'no' yet!"
