Chapter 2:

"Hentai," screamed Sango, and Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo entered the hut. Miroku was lying on the floor unconscious, with a red hand print on his face, Sango sitting with Kirara wrapped around her neck, her face red from anger.

"Will he ever learn," Shippo asked shaking his head.

"I highly doubt it," Sango huffed, she looked up at her friends, and gasped when she saw Kagome. "Kagome-chan, what happened,"

"I'm a hanyou, apparently since I was born, but I was disguised as a human to protect me," Kagome replied. "Sango-chan would you care to join me in the hotsprings,"

"I would be delighted," Sango said giving the unconscious monk a glare, and the two hooked arms, and left the hut.

"Yeah leave us with the pervert," Shippo mumbled, as Miroku started to stir.

"What'd I miss," he asked sitting up and rubbing his head.

"Nothing much," Shippo said shrugging his shoulders.

"Where are Kagome-sama, and Sango?" Miroku asked looking around the hut.

"The hotsprings, but you move a muscle and you'll be unconscious again," Inuyasha said his eyes closed, but his ears twitched to every sound. Miroku sighed in a dejected sort of way and sat against the wall.


"Kagome-chan, is there a reason to why we are here," Sango asked once they were both settled into the warm water.

"Yes, I needed to be away from the guys for awhile," Kagome replied her eyes closed. "Sango-chan, guess what," her voice was excited.

"What is it," Sango asked, watching her friend's ear swivel in her direction.

"Inuyasha asked me to be his mate," Kagome said smiling widely opening her eyes to see Sango's reaction.

"Kagome-chan I am so happy for you," Sango said.

"Sango-chan, do you want to touch em," Kagome asked, twitching her ears.

"Could I," Sango asked excited, Kagome nodded, and she reached out her hand and lightly grasped Kagome's left ear, and it was soft and fuzzy. "They're so soft,"

"Thank you," Kagome said with a content look on her face.

Little did the two women know, there was a pair of eyes watching them as they bathed, but not for perverted reasons, he chuckled evilly before disappearing into the night.


Back at the hut, Kagome and Sango had just returned, and Kagome sat down next to Inuyasha, Sango on her other side, trying to stay as far away from Miroku as possible. Kagome let loose a large yawn, and Inuyasha looked at her.

"Kagome sleep," he said.

"Ok," she nodded, and rested her head on his shoulder. Sango made her way to where Kirara laid, and laid down on her mat, and Kirara transformed into her large form, and curled around Sango. Miroku laid on the other side of the fire, and Shippo curled up in Kagome's lap.


(the next morning)

Kagome was the first to wake up, well aside from Inuyasha who rarely ever slept.

"Have a nice sleep," he asked, and she nodded. She petted Shippo's hair as she sat up. "He's so cute when he's asleep," she smiled, he cuddled closer to her.

"Good morning ye two," Kaede said as she picked up a basket.

"Kaede-sama, mind if I come with you?" Kagome asked.

"Not at all child," Kaede replied with a kind smile. Kagome set Shippo down on a mat, and covered him up, she gave Inuyasha a quick kiss on the cheek and followed Kaede out into the fields.


"Now child, what is it ye wish to ask me," Kaede asked, as she bent down to pull up herbs.

"Kaede, I want to adopt Shippo, And I was wondering if you knew a demon adoption ceremony," Kagome replied helping the elder priestess.

"Aye I know of a way, but mind you it would be dangerous," Kaede replied. "You and Inuyasha would have to give your blood to Shippo, and he has to drink it and it has to mix, and you two must do it on your strongest nights.

"But I don't know when my strongest night is," Kagome replied.

"Your strongest night is on the night of the new moon, and Inuyasha's is the full moon," Kaede replied with a kind twinkle in her eyes.

"So, my strongest night is in 8 days," Kagome said with a thoughtful look. "What do we have to have,"

"Ye would need, a dagger, the ceremonial sake bowl," Kaede said and Kagome nodded.

"Arigato, Kaede-sama," Kagome said with a bow, and she left to go back to the hut. She arrived back, and heard a slap, and a thud, and rolled her eyes, then she heard Shippo's laughter. She walked in and had to stifle a laugh, Miroku was on the floor a slap mark and a bump and he was unconscious. "So did I miss much?" she asked.

"No, just the usual, Miroku being a hentai, and Sango slapped him, and Inuyasha decked him," Shippo replied jumping into his soon-to-be mother's arms.

Kagome felt a familiar shock run through her body, and an unfamiliar scent fill her senses. "I sense a jewel shard, no wait two," she said and her brow furrowed in confusion. They all left the hut, and saw...
