Ch10

~*Kagome's dream*~

Kagome was standing in front of the God-tree, 'What am I doing here?' she thought as she started to look around. What she saw when she turned around shocked her. It was Inuyasha, smiling like an idiot. "Inuyasha?"
"I'm free." he said as ran up to her and hugged her for all he was worth, "I'm free of Kikyo forever!" he said again and again.
Kagome was struggling in his hold. "Inuyasha...................can't........................breath." she chocked out.
"Huh? Oh, sorry." he said as he put her down. "It's just that I've never been so happy in my life."
"What are you doing in my dream?"
He laughed a little, "Well, you remember when I gave you some of my blood, right?" Kagome nodded so he continued, "Because of that, I'm able to be here in your mind."
"Get out of my mind!"
"Why would I do that?"
"Because, you're not suppose to be here. I know that you shouldn't be in hell either, but that doesn't give you permission to live in my head!"
Inuyasha gave her the sad puppy-dog eyes, "Please can I stay? I've got nowhere else to go, and Kikyo is scary."
Kagome sighed, "Fine, just stop growling, it freaked me out."
"Well of coarse I was growling! You were messing with that other guy!"
"What do you want me to do?! Never fall in love because you're living in my brain?!"
"Actually, I thought that you could use the Shikon to bring me back to life, and we could be together."
Kagome sat down, and motioned for him to do the same, "I'm sorry Inuyasha, but I can't do that. You might end up like Kikyo, and I don't want you to have to live a life of hatred. Please understand what I'm trying to say."
Instead of saying that he agreed, Inuyasha crossed his arms and said, "Feh, whatever. It's almost morning, you should wake up. By the way, I think I'll let you have some of my demon traits."
"Like smell, and hearing?"
"Yeah, to repay you for letting me stay...I think you've called that rent or something."
"Thanks Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she started to wake up.

~*End of dream*~

(anything inside ~these~ are Inuyasha's thoughts, and *these* are Kagome's thoughts.)
Kagome woke up to see everyone, except Yoko, asleep. He was looking at her with an amused expression. In all honesty she was starting to get annoyed, as was Inuyasha. Because of the henyou's lack of patience, Kagome 'blew her top' faster than usual, "What?!"
Yoko got up, walked across camp, and sat down next to her, "You talk in your sleep, you now. It's quit amusing. 'oh Inuyasha, get out of my head!' and all that stuff."
"I never said that!"
"Sure you did. You know, I heard what he was saying too. The only thing funnier than what was said, was the sound of his voice coming out of your mouth."
"You heard the whole conversation?"
"It was hard for me to miss. By the way, he gave you something more than just heightened senses."
"What do you mean?"
"Feel the top of your head."
Kagome did as she was told, and was surprised to feel two fuzzy triangles on top of her head. "I got ears like his."
"Yes, you did. Claws and fangs too."
Kagome examined her hands, and felt inside of her mouth. Yoko wasn't lying. She had fangs and claws, just not as sharp as SesshouMaru's or Yoko's. And, conveniently, Shippou chose this time to wake up. Well, he was still half asleep, but coherent enough to talk, "Inuyasha, when did your hair turn black?" As his words sank in, he woke up complete, "Inuyasha!"
"No, Shippou, I'm still Kagome."
"Oh, good, I thought that Inuyasha came back."
~What the Hell is that suppose to mean!~ *shut up Inuyasha!* ~Feh.~ "Shippou, what did you mean by that, I thought you liked Inuyasha."
"He hit me all the time, and was mean."
~I was not!~ *Shut up* "Oh, well, I'm going to make some breakfast. Shippou, would you mind getting some water for me?"
Shippou nodded and left as Kagome re-started their fire, and took out the Ramen, as well as a pot to cook it in. *Inuyasha?*
~What?~
*Is there any way you can take your ears and stuff back?*
~I thought you would like not being a weak human.~
*Inuyasha*
~Fine, whatever, just don't come crying to me when you're in danger.~

Kagome sighed, *Inuyasha, even if I did, you wouldn't be able to help.*
~Like Fox boy can? Or maybe that wimpy wolf~
*Kouga? Why would I go crying to him?*
~Because he's about to show up~
*How do you know that?*
~Just because I'm in your body, doesn't mean I can't smell these things.~
Yoko was watching the way Kagome's facial expression was changing. First it looked like she was asking something, then a bit annoyed, then curious, and finally she almost looked as if she was expecting the worst. He sniffed the air, and smelt a wolf. It was heading their way very fast. Faster than Yoko himself. Yoko got up and awaited the arrival, expecting a battle. What he didn't expect was what happened next...

~*~*~*~

Shippou was running down to the stream, nothing abnormal happening. He got to the water's edged, and saw a little girl crying. He had seen Kagome help people without reason, and figured that he should do the same. He walked up to the person, and patted their back, "Why are you crying?"
"Rin is not crying."
"I'm guessing that you're Rin."
"Hai."
"Did you hurt yourself."
"No, Rin was suppose to wait here for Jaken, but he never came."
"Would you like to come and stay with me, and my friends, until we find who you're looking for?"
"Hai!" She said as they got up and walked back to camp.

~*~*~*~

Sango woke up to the usual, Miroku unconscious, either from groping Kagome, or he hadn't woken up yet, Kouga fighting with Inuyasha, Kagome 'Wait! Inuyasha?!' Sango, now fully awake, sat up and looked at an odd sight. Kagome, who's voice sounded suspiciously like Inuyasha's, being held back by Yoko, Kouga yelling at Kagome, and Shippou showing up with a small girl. "What's going on here?!"
Kouga had showed up to see Kagome, and smelt Inuyasha all over her. He smelt the half-breed so much, that Kagome's scent was completely gone. Then, Kagome growled at him, and started talking about wimpy wolves. Kouga couldn't understand why she was saying things like, or why her voice wasn't her own. In fact, it was almost like Inuyasha had taken control of Kagome's body. He lost all doubt about that theory when two little ears popped up on Kagome's head. And her eyes went from their usual color to the goldish- yellow that Inuyasha had once glared at him with. Needless to say, Kouga was confused.
"And another thing-" Inuyasha (in Kagome's body) was cut off by Kouga poking at his head. (or Kagome's head, however you want to look at it.)
"Kagome? Are you still in there?"
Inuyasha pushed Kouga away from him, "Yeah she's in here, what of it?"
"I wanna talk to my woman, so get outta her body, Inukurro!"
Yoko was entertained by all of this, but Sango and Miroku were not. Shippou was just standing there, a female child behind him. Yoko walked up to Kagome, and whispered to her, "I think there's a kid here to see you. The dog doesn't seem like much of a people person, so I think that you should take over for the time being."
Kagome regained control of her body, "Who's here to see me?"
Yoko pointed behind her. Kagome turned around to see a small girl behind Shippou. Kagome walked up to the child, and kneeled down so they were eye to eye, as Shippou climbed onto Kagome's shoulder. "Hi, I'm Kagome, who are you?"
"Rin."
"What's wrong?"
"Jaken told Rin to wait for him, but then he left. After that, Rin waited, but Jaken didn't come. Then, Kohaku told Rin to go with him, so Rin did. Then Kohaku tried to hurt Rin, so Rin ran back to where Jaken told Rin to wait for him."
"Poor thing. I'll tell you what. You can stay with us until Jaken shows up for you. Dose that sound good?"
"Hai." Rin said as she nodded. ~*~*~*~

Naraku was watching as Rin played her part in his little 'game'. He smirked, 'Good. The kid can do one thing right. Now SesshouMaru has to co- operate.'
