Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long! Here are my Review Responses:
MyInuYashaObsession: Thanks for the suggestion! That's probably more towards what I'm going to do. This is not going to be the cheesy "Kikyo and Naraku go on a murder rampage" thing! It will have some sense and thought into it!
InuKagKisses: Yeah, I'm trying to get into Naruto, but I've only seen a couple episodes. Thank you!
Domi: You'll just have to find out now, won't you?
Hearii-sama: Trust me, I'm determined this is not going to be stupid and full of murder or anything like that.
Hanikamiya: This isn't going to be stereotypical. Trust me.
kagome-daughter-love-sesshomaru: Nice try, but …. No…Thanks for the suggestion though!
Minako Miharu: Aren't you good? You nailed it right on the nose!
Sadaf Khan: Kikyou isn't gonna try anything completely stupid…well, maybe just enough to screw up her own life! And, no, Naraku is not Shippou's dad. Shippou's dad is just some random character I made up.
paintupurple: Oh, wait till chapter 494 in the manga! I danced for joy! Go online and find a scantilation for this chapter! It's FAR worth it!
Megan: Sure! Feel free to email me any time!

Chapter Nine: Talks with Rin
The following day, Kagome was watching Shippou when the phone rang, "Moshi, moshi?"
"Ah! Just the person I was hoping would pick up!" said a perky female voice on the other line.
"Hey Rin, what's up?" asked Kagome as she watched Shippou color in his coloring book.
"Not much, I just got bored and thought I would call you since you're watching Shippou."
Kagome smirked. "So, you only call me when you're bored?"
Rin gave a fake laugh, "Ha ha, you know what I mean."
"I've got a question for you since you're married to a youkai. What does it mean when a youkai or hanyou tells you 'your scent is driving me crazy,' but in a good way?"
"Did Inuyasha tell you this?"
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, I had just put Shippou to bed and we were kissing and he pulled away and said that."
Rin howled with laughter, "Oh my word, that is too funny!"
"What's so funny?" Kagome was utterly confused.
Rin tried to catch her breath, "Okay, I think I'm done now. Kagome, not to pry or anything, but how heated was this kiss? Yellow, red, blue, or white hot?"
"Rin!" Kagome was thankful her friend couldn't see her red face through the phone.
"Answer me, Kags."
"I'd say it was blue," Kagome finally admitted, hoping that Shippou couldn't guess what was going on, but he seemed to be thoroughly engrossed in coloring.
Rin started laughing again, "Hahahaha! You don't get it do you?"
"Right now, I'm just confused as to why you are laughing at this!"
Rin took a deep breath to calm herself, "Okay, when you two were kissing; it was apparently pretty heated. He could smell that you were getting turned on, and before you two could get carried away and do something stupid, he stopped you. Simple as that."
Kagome was a little embarrassed, "You mean…he can smell that?"
"Yes, he can. The way I found out that stuff was by talking to Izayoi. I had a conversation similar to this one. Only it was when Sesshoumaru told me what I smelled like. That was kind of interesting."
"What do you mean when he told you what you smell like?"
Rin took another breath. All of these things are things Kagome needed to know, "Every person, whether human, youkai, or hanyou, has a distinct scent. The way someone smells to a youkai or hanyou helps identify the sex and species of the person, even from far away. However, if a youkai smells more than just those scents, it means that the person is their future mate."
Kagome stretched out on the couch, "I'm completely lost…"
Rin smiled, "Okay, to Inuyasha and Inutaisho I smell like a just normal human female with a hint of honey. To Sesshoumaru I smell like honey, mint, and almonds along with my human female scent. The more a youkai can distinguish certain smells in your scent, the more likely that you are to become future mates."
It was finally starting to click in Kagome's head, "So you mean if I asked Inuyasha what I smelled like to him and he answered with a bunch of scents, then I am supposed to be his mate?" Kagome didn't see the smirk on Shippo's face.
"Exactly! I'm glad you've got it!" Rin was glad that Kagome understood. Rin knew this information could definitely be used for Kagome's good.
"Anyways, I had better get off of here and make dinner for Shippou and I. Inuyasha won't be back until midnight or later," said Kagome with a sigh.
"Okay," replied Rin, "I'll talk to you later! Bye!"
"Bye!" Kagome hung up the phone and turned to kitsune-hanyou, "Okay, Shippou, what do you want for dinner?"
The small hanyou put down his crayons and thought for a moment before replying, "Ramen!"
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Fine…" She fixed ramen for the both of them and then they watched "Madagascar" at Shippou's request. Kagome then put Shippou to bed, read him a story and then went to relax on the couch until Inuyasha got home.
It had begun to rain as Kagome looked at the clock on the wall. 9:30 p.m. She sighed and picked up the book she was trying to finish reading before school started back up again. She yawned as she finished the chapter and looked at the clock again. 9:48 p.m.
'Inuyasha told me I could sleep in his room. And I am not going to fall asleep on this couch again. My back still hurts from that! Oh what the heck…'
Kagome got up and walked into Inuyasha's bedroom. It was the first time she had really been in there. The walls were a creamy tan color and the king-sized bed had deep red sheets and a tan comforter. She got in the bed underneath the covers and curled up in a ball. The rain was getting harder and lightening and thunder had started.
She had just drifted off to sleep when a soft voice woke her, "Kagome?"
"What's wrong, Shippou?" Kagome asked as she sat up in bed.
Shippou was rubbing his eyes, "I don't like the thunder. It hurts my ears. Can I sleep with you?"
Kagome smiled at the kit, "Sure. Come on." Shippou climbed in under and soon both were asleep with the sound rain pushing them into a deep sleep.
Around one in the morning, Inuyasha finally arrived back from work. He set his things on the couch and walked to his room. The sight that greeted him made him smile. Kagome was curled up under the covers and Shippou was halfway falling off the bed. Inuyasha moved Shippou back fully onto the bed and Shippou let out a small grunt of protest but remained fully asleep.
Kagome heard Shippou's grunt and stirred, "Inuyasha? You back?"
"Yeah," Inuyasha sat on the bed, facing her, "why is Shippou in here?"
Kagome sat up, "The thunder scared him."
Inuyasha nodded, "I see."
"Well, since you're here I'm going to head back ho-" Kagome let out a huge yawn.
"You are going nowhere, just stay here the night. Shippou's in here with us so we don't have to worry about anything."
Kagome nodded in agreement and laid back down. Inuyasha got into bed and soon all three of them were sound asleep, the rain drizzling outside.
Awwww….happy ending for this chappy! I know this was short but I just finished a paper for my psych class and I have a 7-page paper due in Micro-Economics…yeah, fun. Anyways, this was kind of a filler chapter, but more good stuff will be in the next chapter. I promise!
Love,
Eriisu!
