Disclaimer: Inu-chan and all the others still don't belong to me. But someday… someday they will and then Kikyou will pay. MWAHAHAHA!!!!
A/N: I feel so loved. Just for that I changed my plans for where this fic was going to make even more people happy. ^_^ Hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
Kagome's Ancestor
Chapter 4
After a few minutes Inuyasha took Kagome upstairs to her room, giving the others a chance to discuss the day's events. Shippo settled himself down on the couch as Higurashi-san went to fix some more tea after dropping what she had prepared when she fainted earlier.
"Otou-sama, what's going to happen next? Kagome has already had so many problems without finding out about this."
"I know musuko. Now that I've seen them again my memories are coming back to me and Kagome was always talking about missed tests and annoying boys in her time, this time." Shippo chuckled lightly as he recalled another thing Kagome complained about. "Couldn't you think of better excuses then Tuberculosis?"
"Oh… heheh. She told you about that. Ano… they would only believe stuff like Mono and the Flu so many times before asking questions." A small sweatdrop appears on the side of Kinu's head.
Walking back into the room carrying the tray with the tea she set it down on the table and handed her grandfather-in-law and her father-in-law each a cup before taking one for herself.
"Arigatou Megumi." Shippo graciously took the cup and took a small sip of his tea before getting back on topic. "I know for a fact Inuyasha didn't like this, but I'm going to have to teach Kagome some things about her powers before she can go back down the well to the Sengoku Jidai. She can't go back without knowing these things."
"I agree otou-sama. She might not need to know how to disguise herself there, but she still needs to know some of her other power so she can use them in defense just in case she has trouble there." Kinu took a sip of his tea before he leaned forward. "Will Kagome's miko powers be affected by this?"
"They shouldn't be. I can't say for sure even with my knowledge of what has already happened because it was hard to tell. Her powers always were a little on and off." Shippo giggled slightly. "Of course her powers over Inuyasha always worked. With or without using the rosary."
"Mama, can I come back in now?" Souta peeked his head around the corner of the room.
"Of course Souta." She smiled at her musuko as he entered the room. "I'd like you to meet your great-grandfather, Shippo-sama."
"Ah! So you are Souta. I was looking forward to meeting you. Come here and say hi. I won't bite." Shippo patted on the couch for Souta to sit down next to him.
Sitting down next to Shippo he smiled cutely at the kitsune. "Hi. You're my great-grandfather? That's so cool."
Smiling down at his great-grandson he played with his hair. "You remind me of myself when I was but a young boy."
"Honto?"
"Hai. I was really energetic when I was younger. So how do you like this little surprise?" Flips Souta's tail and chuckles lightly.
"I love it. It's so weird, but cool. I like this better than any present I have ever gotten."
"Now Souta. Remember what we told you about mentioning Inuyasha to others? Well that applies for this too." Megumi set down her tea and looked over at her musuko.
"I know. Don't say anything. So when am I going to learn how to disguise myself?"
"I can start to teach you right now if you want Souta."
"Honto Jiichan?"
"Hai. Come on. We'll get to work right now." Kinu stood up and after excusing himself he led Souta out of the room.
Brushing a stray hair out of Kagome's face he sighed. 'Kagome… I hope you'll be ok. I don't know why, but I'm really worried about you. You are always doing something to worry me and even though this isn't your fault it's the same thing.' Standing up from where he was kneeling he moved across the room and sat down with his back to the wall, watching over Kagome as she slept.
~Walking through the forest near Kaede's village she came to the Go-Shinboku. Looking up she saw Inuyasha lying there as usual. "Inu-chan, come down or I'll come up after you." Smiling down at Kagome, Inuyasha leaped down from the tree. "Gomen Kagome-chan. I was just thinking." "Oh really… about what?" She puts her arms around Inuyasha and looks up so she can look into his eyes. "About what we are going to name our first pup." "Did you think of a good name?" Inuyasha kisses her forehead. "Iie. I've never been that good at these things. Remember when Sango and Miroku asked me to help name their baby." She giggles softly. "How could I forget? That's ok Inu-chan. We have another 5 months before it will be born." "I'm glad you decided to stay with me in my time." "Why wouldn't I? Aishiteru Inu-chan." "Aishiteru Kagome-chan" The two leaned forward and their lips meet in a gentle kiss.~ Sighing happily in her sleep she turned and now faced Inuyasha.
A few hours later Kagome awoke and saw Inuyasha sleeping softly against the wall in her room. 'I wish that dream would come true. Why did I have to fall in love with you? Maybe now you won't see me as just a copy of your first love and see me for me.' Sitting up in her bed she massaged a couple of kinks out of her tail before swinging her feet around and stepping out of bed. 'He is so peaceful looking when he is sleeping.'
Hearing the light footfalls of Kagome standing up he stirred awake. "Oh. You're awake…"
"Yeah…"
"Did you sleep well?" He stretched his arms and sat up.
Nodding she smiled softly. "Arigatou. You didn't have to carry me upstairs and put me to bed."
Scratching his head nervously he let a tiny smile cross his face. "It was no trouble… We should probably downstairs and let them know you are awake."
"Good idea." Goes over to her door and waits for Inuyasha to stand up.
Standing up he walks over to Kagome's side as she opens the door and walks out of the room. Going downstairs they walk into the family room to see Shippo is still there and is talking to Higurashi-san.
"Oh, you're awake. That's good. We were just about to go upstairs and try to wake you. Weren't we Megumi?"
"Hai. Before Shippo-sama left he needed to tell you some things that you needed to know."
"Ok." Walking over to chair she sat down and Inuyasha sat on the floor next to her. "So what did you want to tell me?"
"Actually I needed to tell both you and Inuyasha something. I wanted to tell you to be careful because with the spell gone certain things will be changing and it would be a bad idea if you weren't warned."
"What sorts of changes? It can't be that bad, can it?" A worried tone slips into her voice as she looks between Shippo and Inuyasha.
"Ano… it can be that bad." Higurashi-san sweatdrops as she looks at her musume.
"Oi! What can be that bad? Just spit it out." Glaring at Shippo, Inuyasha put his hand over Kagome's protectively.
"Ano… One thing that will be changing is that in a couple of days it will be the time of year when kitsune usually mate and you will be going into heat for a couple of weeks." A huge sweatdrop appears over Inuyasha and Kagome's heads. "We told you it was bad."
