Chapter 55: Mates Again

Yumi and Inuyasha were in the Feudal Era. It was night, and the one year anniversary of their meeting.

"Yumi." Inuyasha said.

"Hm?" She looked up at him from what she was doing.

"I-I… ugh… come with me for a second." He stuttered.

"Sure." She said a bit confused.

They walked to Goshinboku. He stopped in front of it and looked at her. Her green eyes pierced deep into his amber ones. She smiled.

"Would you… would you be…" He sighed. "Would you be my mate?" He asked.

She smiled even bigger. "Yes. Of course." She said. Her arms snaked around his neck, while his wrapped around her waist. She kissed him. "I love you." She said once they broke the kiss.

He smiled. "I love you too. I've loved you since the day we met, even if I didn't act like it."

"You didn't act like it. Not one bit."

"I know. I'm sorry for what I said to you that day."

"It's all right."

He leaned his head down to her where her shoulder met her neck, then bit it. She gasped then moaned once he licked the blood away. He smiled at her again.

"I want you. Now." She said.

"I can help that." He whispered and kissed her again. Then he picked her up bridal style and walked out of sight.

Kagome went to her parents' house the next day. She was human.

"You going to the Feudal Era today?" Inu Heki asked his daughter when she came in the living room.

"No. She got out of my grip last night." Kagome told him.

"What?"

"The spell was broken off of her last night. I think I might know what happened. You can only break the spell by turning into a full blooded youkai, father."

"You mean?"

"She's either mated or she got really mad last night at something. I'm going with the first one. She's got to come here before they use the wish though. She would never not say goodbye. Then it'll just be me again."

She heard someone coming up the walk way. "Its near the well."

"What's near the well?"

"Foot steps. Sounds like two pairs. Light ones too." She sat down on the couch near her father.

Sure enough two people came into the house. Kagome and her father smiled at them. "So? Which is it? Did you get mad or…"

They blushed.

"Look, I'm not going to be my mom and ask all those questions. It killed me. You broke free of my spell last night, and I see you're a youkai again. So we know already. Its time to use the jewel if you've got it whole."

"We do."

"Do you know what you're supposed to wish for?"

"For Inuyasha to become a full youkai, yes. Oh and Hitomi, here." Yumi said and handed folded up blue haori and chocolate pants to her. "I've got a pair, thank you for letting me use them."

"You're welcome." She said taking them.

She came up and hugged her father and cried. "Thank you for everything dad."

He hugged her back. "You're welcome. Go see your mom, she's in the kitchen."

She let go and nodded, then went into the kitchen. She came out after a minute.

"Yumi, I'm leaving you as a full blooded youkai. After the slayers come for you, tell me or any other time and I'll turn you human. You've got 200 years to master your true form as well as your youkai form."

"I've already mastered it."

"Can you heal in it?"

"I can't heal yet. Remember?"

"Oh yes, that was after I had Muteki. About… 5 months I think. You might not want to get pregnant just yet. You'll know why soon. Wait about a month or two, ok?"

She nodded, blushing, as well as Inuyasha.

"Use the jewel after you get back to the Feudal Era. Don't get freaked out by Inuyasha's youkai appearance, get Miroku or Sango to calm you down. Try out your true form when you get it Inuyasha. Just make sure someone is there to calm her down. At first I thought you were going to come after me even without your eyes being red."

He nodded.

"If you need any advise or anything Yumi I would be glad to help. If you need me there for any reason, just ask. I can hold the well open for a day without collapsing now. You know how to use the mark, and trust me you'll need it. Teach Inuyasha when he gets his too. He'll need it, but I warn you. Let Sesshoumaru know first, I won't be there to do anything if he gets mad and he knows where to find you before you do."

They nodded.

"Thank you for every thing Kagome. Thank you."

"You can start calling her by her real name now Inuyasha if you like. Since I'm not there to be confused."

"Feh."

They all walked out.

"Still the same." She said shaking her head. "And don't freak dad out too much back then. Explain it to him, please. I don't want you getting thrown out of the castle because he thinks you belong in an insane asylum."

She chuckled. "All right. I won't freak him out. Bye!"

"Bye Yumi!"

"Bye Darling! Be safe!"

"I will, I love you!" She said and jumped down the well. They went back inside.

"I will be hearing a call from her any minute now. It feels sort of… odd to be an only child again. But less confusing, good thing we used our middle names."

A minute later she felt the well close.

'Hitomi… Help.'

'Why?'

'Has Inuyasha transformed?'

'Ye-ye-yes…'

'Its fine, he won't hurt you.'

'No. Hi-hi-his eyes… they-they're red!'

"That's not supposed to happen." She muttered. "Did you hear her father?"

"Yes I did."

'Yumi. Hug him, kiss him, something affectionate. That'll bring him back.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes, hug him and move his hand to the hilt of the Tetsusaiga. It'll work. I know it will.'

'All right, I'll try.'

She waited a minute.

'Yumi, did it work?'

'Hitomi.' She said weakly.

"This isn't supposed to happen! What went wrong?"

"I don't know, let's go."

"Right."

They ran out to the well and she transformed them. She thought about the Feudal Era and it opened. "Come on Dad, we have to hurry!" She said grabbing his hand and jumping in. They reached the bottom and jumped out. "Yumi!" Kagome yelled.

'Hi-to-mi?'

'Yes, where are you?'

'The… village… hurry… please…'

They ran to the village and found Yumi on her back, beat up. "Where's Inuyasha?"

"I-I don't know."

"Is there any way to get him here dad? He probably went on a rampage."

"There's only one way. To get you in heat."

"How can I be made into heat?"

"Arousing you dramatically will work fine."

"Oh no." She whispered. "We can't."

"I know we shouldn't but it's the only way."

"Fine."

He came up to her and moved his hand down her arm. Then kissed all the way down her head to her chest. "How can we do it in public?" She whispered.

"No, not in public. Come on, in the forest and that way after we can pick up his scent and find him easier."

She nodded and they ran into the woods with him. Once they found a bit of his scent they stopped in a small clearing and continued. He kissed her passionately and moved his hands down her arms. She took her haori off and sat down on a log. "Bite me."

He walked over and sat next to her. He took her nipple in his mouth and bit it gently, her toes curled with arousal. He sucked on it and she moaned. He came up and kissed her again. Her eyes started to flicker but she held back.

Inuyasha's scent started to get stronger and she backed off her father and put her haori back on. Sure enough she smelt him near. "SIT!" She yelled when it was too close. A crashing sound came from her right and she ran that way. She found him on the ground. "Are you all right Inuyasha?"

He growled, still on the ground.

"Inuyasha?"

He looked up at her, his eyes were blood red. He stood up and walked forward, slowly.

"Mate?" She said, trying to calm him down. 'I know!' She walked up to him and kissed him passionately and rubbed his ear, then with her only free hand moved one of his to the Tetsusaiga. He went a bit limp once he touched the sword. She pulled back and looked at him, once he saw who she was he jumped.

"Why did you-"

"To change you back. You hurt Yumi. I'll fix her, don't worry. You better be happy though. I almost mated my father again to protect her and everyone else…. This wasn't supposed to happen. It was supposed to kill the youkai, not bring it on! I don't understand."

He shrugged and they walked out. "Keep your hand on the sword , just incase."

They walked to the village and Yumi had moved under a tree. She smiled when she smelled them coming. Kagome walked up to her. "Are you all right?"

"Yea…. My stomach, can you heal it?"

"Lift your haori up. I need to see it."

She did that and laid down flat on the grass. There was a large hole in her stomach. "Father, come hold me, please… so I don't pass out from this and the well."

He nodded and kneeled down, then held her waist. She started to try and heal her. After a few minutes it completely healed. She sighed. "Your good there, anywhere else?"

"No."

"Ok…. We'll go if you'll be ok."

Miroku, Sango and Shippo saw them and ran over. "What happened?" Sango asked.

"I told Yumi to use the wish after she got back from our era and I guess she used it without protection. Did you do what I said about getting Sango or Miroku to keep you ok?"

"No, I'm sorry. I thought I could handle it. I guess I couldn't when he pinned me to a tree and I hurt him."

Kagome's eyes widened. "Did you struggle then dig your claws into him?"

"Yes."

"You truly are me then. Everything that has happened to me, has happened to you. You were just early, a bit getting him as your mate. That didn't happen to me that way though. We killed Naraku, or I should say Inuyasha killed him as a youkai and turned on us, but when he saw me he calmed down. I didn't though. He pinned me to a tree with his arms and I struggled when he tried to calm me down. I clawed him and he clawed me. Kouga was luckily there to hold him off while I made the wish."

Sango and Miroku were lost. Kagome could smell it. "I told you she was my sister. She is sort of, more like me though. I am the reincarnation of Kikyo as well as she is. We both had the Shikon no Tama in us. We both are mates to Inuyasha. The only differences in me and her are that she was born full youkai. I was born human. And I am 500 years older than she is, I've already gone through the Feudal Era. I'm in the Modern Era, and I had no father. But because I chose to save him, she has one and has had one her whole life. I never had one. That's why when I was here in this era Sango was and is my sister. Miroku was and is my brother, and brother-in-law. Shippo was and is my first son and Inuyasha was my husband. Kaede was like a grandmother to me. So I had two families for a year."

"Wow." Was all Sango could manage.

"Yes, I know its confusing, but its true…. I think we should be getting back. Inuyasha you be careful. I mean it. I don't want to risk my life by opening the well again tomorrow." She said getting up. "Woow." She fell onto her dad.

He chuckled. "You want me to carry you?"

"That would be nice, please." He picked her up bridal style and they said goodbye then ran off towards the well. When they got home Kagome fainted after closing the well. Her father jumped out and brought her inside. Then laid her on his bed for her to rest. She woke up a few hours later. Her father was next to her, sitting on the bed. She was dizzy and couldn't see straight.

"There you are. Are you ok darling?" He asked.

"Yea." She replied weakly.

"You sure? You're starting to look pale."

"I'm fine. It just took a lot out of me to do that while holding the well open." She sat up then felt a bit sick and groaned.

"Maybe you should rest a bit more."

"I'm fine."

"You sure? You're as white as a ghost. Don't turn us back yet. You'll be better off as a youkai, and it will drain you any way."

She nodded lightly.

'Where is she? Kagome said she would be back early today, and its already 5 o'clock….' "Muteki, I'll be back in a minute. Watch them please."

"Where are you going dad?"

"To check on your mother."

"Why, isn't she usually in the Feudal Era?"

"She said she would be back early today. Its late for early. I'm going to see what's up. Please don't let them make a mess again." Muteki nodded as his father walked out.
