Chapter 1

Prefic notes:this is my second fic andI'm hoping to make very few mistakes on this fic so it doesn't take as long to proofread/post.

Kagome sat at her desk going over the tests her students had done that day she looked out the window and sighed. It had been ten years since she last saw him. She remembered him perfectly, his long silver hair his powerful arms every last detail. She remembered the day they found the last Shikon shard together, it was that exact day that the path to the fuedal era closed, and the path to Inuyasha. It's not like she didn't try to return to the fuedal era but no matter what she did and how hard she tried she couldn't find a way. She shook the thought of him out of her head she had work to do she turned her attention back to the tests on her desk I'll finish these at home she thought as she put them in her bag and got up.

Kagome walked slowly out to her car and threw her bag onto the passenger seat. She looked into the rear view mirror and caught glimpse of something that made her jump. A small boy stood near the front door of the school talking to some of her students. It wasn't just the concern for her students that made her jump it was the way the boy looked. He was so familiar she looked at him carefully trying to remember where she saw him before and then it clicked, he looked like Shippo! Kagome got out of her car and quickly turned to where the boy stood but he was already running down the street.

"Was that Shippo?"Kagome asked herself out loud getting back in her car,"No, that couldn't be him. He's in the fuedal era with Miroku, Sango and..."

She shook the thought from her head, thinking about Inuyasha was only making her depressed. She started her car and left the parking lot driving unusually fast until she got about half way home she decided to take a detour and pick up something for her dinner. Stopping at an intersection she looked out the window at a local daycare and was floored by what she saw. There was a woman who looked like Sango outside playing with the children! She stared right at the strange women she looked exactly like her. Same eyes, same figure, everything was exact to Sango's description. A honk from the car behind her brought her back to reality and made her jump a bit she quickly looked back to the road and drove on she looked back through her rear view mirror but the women was gone.

Later at Kagome's house...

Kagome finished looking over the last test and put it in her bag then checked her watch.

"11:00?" Kagome said startled by how late it was,"I better get to sleep I have to get to work early tomorrow!"

She ran upstairs and into her room after changing into her nightgown she climbed into her bed and stared out her window. She was about to fall asleep when something caught her eye. A large figure was sitting in the tree by her window. She stared right at it's face and her heart skipped a beat. The figure saw Kagome staring at it and quickly jumped from the tree and ran off. Kagome darted from her bed and ran to the window the figure had already disappeared. Kagome's heart started to sink the face was so much like Inuyasha's. She was about to return to her bed when something caught her eye, a long strand of silver hair was wrapped on one of the tree branches she grabbed it and looked at it with great interest.

"Was that Inuyasha?" she wondered as she held the strand in her hand,"or am I just losing it?"

Next day, Kagome's workplace, lunch break...

Kagome was still thinking of the previous day's events. Did she really see Sango Shippo and Inuyasha? or was her mind playing tricks on her? She decided to take a walk to clear her mind. Kagome froze when she arrived at the front doors. Outside a man was speaking to one of the other teachers at the school in the parking lot, a man that looked just like Miroku! She stared out at the man, when he turned to leave she ran out the door and over to the teacher that he was speaking to.

"Excuse me Haruka,"Kagome said.

"Yes Kagome what can I do for you?" Haruka replied.

"The man that you were just speaking with, do you know his name?"Kagome asked.
"No, he didn't say. Why do you ask?" Haruka replied.

"No reason,"Kagome said with a sigh,"By the way did he ask you to bear his children?"

"What?"Haruka said in shock.

"Never mind,"Kagome said.

Haruka left Kagome standing out in the parking lot. She felt like she was going insane first seeing Shippo and Sango then Inuyasha and now Miroku.

"Why am I seeing all of them all of a sudden?" Kagome asked herself.

"Maybe it's because we're getting really bad at hiding,"Kagome heard a very familiar voice behind her say. She spun around her heart skipped a few beats and her eyes grew with excitement. A man stood behind her wearing a black suit jacket and pants, he had a plain red shirt and he had long silver hair.

"Inu... Inuyasha?"Kagome stuttered.

"Miss me?"Inuyasha said smiling.

Kagome rushed towards Inuyasha. He hugged her tightly, tears flooded Kagome's eyes. she couldn't believe Inuyasha had finally returned.

"Inuyasha I missed you so much,"Kagome said tears flowing from her eyes,"How did you get here? I tried to get back to the fuedal era and I was unable to so how did-"

"Shhhh... Kagome I'll explain everything, but first..." Inuyasha said reaching into his jacket pocket and pulling out a small box. He knelt down and opened the box to reveal a small diamond ring,"Kagome will you marry me?"

Kagome's heart fluttered. She felt happier then she had ever felt in her entire life.

"Inuyasha..,"Kagome said trying to calm her fluttering heart,"Yes, yes I will marry you! Nothing would make me happier!"

Inuyasha stood and slid the small ring on Kagome's finger and kissed her softly. A bell rang out loudly startling Kagome.

"Inuyasha I have to go,"Kagome said,"hold on, I'll write down my address for you and you can come by my house later ok?"

"Don't worry about the address I know where you live,"Inuyasha said.

"What? How do you know.."Kagome strated to say.

"Tell ya later! be by around 4:00!"Inuyasha called back as he ran off.

Kagome stood puzzled for a few seconds then rememebered she still had a class to teach and quickly ran back inside. Meanwhile unbeknownst to Kagome and Inuyasha someone was crouching in the bushes watching them listening to every word.

"You marry her! We'll see about that!"the person said angrily.
