I don't own Inuyasha or anything having to do with this show. I make this only for entertainment purposes, (and an excuse to avoid my homework:). So don't sue and enjoy the fic!

Author's note: Before you begin, I really URGE you to read this. Originally, this story was supposed to be very long, but next year my schedule's going to be BAD for writing such a long story. I'll have 80 hours of Internship and 17 hours of classes!=:0 So, instead of making it the way it was originally supposed to be, I took my outline and adjusted it. Now, there should be less than 20 chapters before it is finished. I'm sorry I had to change it, but I'm sure you'd rather see it finished over the summer than wait a whole year, right? Still, it shouldn't be too bad. There will be flashbacks to help you when need-to-know things show up. So far, I have up to Chapter 50 typed. This story should only have around 60 chapters when it's all through. So, I hope you enjoy it.

And on a side note: When I decided this I was going to delete this chapter and skip to three months later like in 45. But since I KNOW there are some of you that have wanted to know this for a long time, and I didn't see this appearing in any of the flashbacks...

I kept it. So I hope you enjoy getting one of your many questions answered.:)

The Feudal Fairy Tale Begins Again...

Chapter Forty Four: Making the Impossible, Possible.

****************************************************

Later the next day, everyone gathered back together at Jinenji's house, bitterly saying goodbyes. After they continued on their way some, Kagome kept noticing Inuyasha looking upset. So did the others.

Finally, Miroku couldn't stand it anymore. "Inuyasha, what is the matter?"

Inuyasha looked up at him and didn't know what to say. Instead, he looked at Mutsuki who was currently being held by Kagome.

Sly blinked as Inuyasha reached out for him.

Kagome just stared at him. "...You want to hold him, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha didn't answer, but Kagome gently handed Sly over to his dad.

Sly just looked up at Inuyasha as he was held in his arms. 'Uuhhh...'

Everyone just watched, trying to figure out what Inuyasha was up to.

Instead, Inuyasha continued to walk forward with Sly.

Miroku and Sango shared looks with each other.

"Why did he want to hold him, Kagome?" Shippou asked as he jumped onto her shoulder.

Kagome just shrugged and started to walk along with the others.

A few minutes passed before Inuyasha stopped again.

The group sighed. What was wrong with the hanyou?

Inuyasha petted Kawayou's ears before he put him down. 'What do I do...find some mythical place that no one knows anything about? Help him understand everything that I can? Or just spend as much time as I can with him, since the inevitable will....' Inuyasha shook his head back and forth fiercely. 'NO! I CAN'T give up! I WON'T give up! The impossible has been made possible before...

///"SHIPPOU!" Inuyasha yelled out as he ran after the kitsune. "Get back here ya little runt!"

Miroku and Sango watched as Inuyasha and Shippou came running into their sleeping area. The sun wasn't down yet, but it was getting close so they had stopped to take a break. Kagome had wanted to take a brief dip in a spring that was near there, leaving Miroku and Sango to deal with the yelling of the hanyou and baby kitsune.

Sango just groaned. It was easy to deduct that Shippou had said something to make Inuyasha mad again, but since Kagome was taking a bath...

Annoying Shippou+Angry Hanyou + No sit=CHASE

"Come back here!" Inuyasha barked.

"No!" Shippou yelled out. "Kagome's gonna be upset when I tell her you were chasing me again!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHYYYYYYY!!!!"

Inuyasha's ears perked up in horror as he heard a voice, that could only be Kagome's, let loose a blood curdling scream.

Faster than he had ever moved before, Inuyasha quickly ran into the direction of the spring she was bathing in. Modesty be ****ed, he had to see what happened!

When he showed up, he couldn't believe his eyes. '....no...'

"KAGOOOOMMMEEEEEE!!" Inuyasha screamed in horror as he realized what had happened. A youkai had just grabbed her and pierced her right through the chest.

Inuyasha quickly clawed the youkai in half and grabbed Kagome. He didn't know what to do as he looked at her wounds. 'Humans can't survive this...she's gonna die?' He couldn't wrap his mind around it. The idea that Kagome could actually die just didn't seem like it could happen. She had survived so many things. His brother's poisonous claws, being burned alive....

'There were ways out of those...Tetsusaiga, my kimono...there's gotta be a way out of this!'

Inuyasha looked down frighteningly at Kagome as Shippou dashed up to him, along with Miroku and Sango.

"Kagome?!" Sango cried out as she tried to reach for the dying girl.

Miroku held her back and wrapped her in his arms. The wound was too close to her heart...it probably even pierced it. "...Lady Kagome..."

Inuyasha watched the look on Miroku's face and felt like gutting the monk! 'She's not dying! Stop it! Don't look at her like that!' He didn't even realize Shippou was on her chest, covering his hand over Inuyasha's, trying to stop the blood.

"NOOOO!!! KAGOOOMMEEEE!!" The baby kitsune cried out. "NOOO!!"

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. 'She's not dying....she's not dying...she's not dying...' he chanted over and over as he rocked her back and forth in his arms. 'She's...not...she's dying.' he finally admitted to himself. "NOOOO!!!" he howled into the night painfully.

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. There was a slight chance...'It's impossible...' he thought. 'It's not possible...but...' he looked at her mouth which was dribbling blood on the side. '...what have I got to lose?'

Sango and Miroku watched as Inuyasha yanked Shippou off and ran away with Kagome.

"Inuyaaasha?!" they yelled after the hanyou.

Where was he taking their dying friend?////

'That's right!' Inuyasha said, trying to impose more confidence in himself again. 'I saved Kagome that night. I shouldn't have been able to...she really could have died...'

///Shippou ran out to Inuyasha as he brought Kagome back to their sleeping area. "KAGOME?!"

"Back off, Runt!" Inuyasha barked at the kitsune. "She needs some sleep. Miroku! Get her blanket and lay it out!"

Miroku did as he was told as Inuyasha layed Kagome down on the blanket.

Sango looked at her friend in surprise. "...where's her wound?" She looked back at Inuyasha. "How is she still alive...?"

Inuyasha just crossed his arms. "I uhhh...I did something..."

"What would that be?" Miroku pressed.

Inuyasha sat down on the floor. "Something that might've killed her if I had had my full power..."

Miroku looked strangely at Inuyasha. "...what?"

"I bit her and transferred my power into her." the hanyou replied.

Sango instantly stood up. "YOUR Power?! That should've killed her!" she scolded.

Inuyasha immediately stood up. "She was already dying, dammit! Besides, my power was lessening since that night was a new moon!"

"A new moon..." Miroku looked thoughtfully at Inuyasha. "You bit her before your powers fully dissapeared?"

"Yeah." Inuyasha said, as he started to calm down from Sango's accusation. "It wasn't too much, just enough to help her heal but..."

Sango frowned. She didn't want to hear a but. "...but what?"

"I don't know if there will be any after effects of what happened." Inuyasha confessed. "I've never done that sort of thing before okay?! Demons do it with their mates and their young, but it's never been used on humans!"

"What are you saying?" Miroku asked. "Will something bad happen to Lady Kagome?"

"I don't know. She might feel sick later...I don't know!" Inuyasha began as Kagome started to stir.

Kagome got up and yawned, noting the tense expressions on everyone. "...what?"

"YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE TODAY!!" Inuyasha barked out angrily.

Kagome's mouth dropped. How dare he just yell at her out of the blue like that! And about leaving, no less! "Inuyasha, Is THAT a challenge?!"/////

Inuyasha growled. 'She had escaped that day. Went back to her damn world against MY orders!' he looked down at his pup who was looking back up at him. '...that was the last time I saw her before...'

"Inuyasha?" Kagome called out. 'This is weird. What is he thinking about? Why in the world did he stop?'

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome. 'The impossible became possible that night. Any other night, and she most likely would've been killed!' He looked up at the sky. 'I've got to find a way...I've got to do everything I can!'

And with that last thought, Inuyasha sat himself on the ground. "Watch Mutsuki all of you idiots. Kagome and I need to talk."

"What is it?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha put her down on the ground. He had run a good distance from the others, but was still close enough that he could make out their smells.

Inuyasha looked down at the ground. "Kagome, I talked with the old man more after you went outside."

"I know." Kagome replied. "What was it about?"

Inuyasha glanced at her as he took a deep breath. "Our pup won't have a demon life span. Or a human life span."

Kagome looked at him strangely. "What are you saying Inuyasha? How long will he live?"

Inuyasha looked down at the ground. "Not long."

"Not long?" Kagome prodded. "As in not as long as usual? Or not long as a demon? Or not long as in..."

"He wouldn't say, but a lot sooner than you and I want to know." Inuyasha answered as he looked back at her, this time squarely, seriously in her eyes. "I don't think he's going to be living much longer than he is now, Kagome."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha as she gave herself time to let the reality of what Inuyasha had just said sink in. '...'

Inuyasha crossed his arms. "I don't wanna believe the old coot!" he yelled. "But he was right about a lot of things that would have seemed impossible for him to know. He had predicted some of the strangest stuff in my life and...' he stopped when he realized Kagome was not paying attention. "Are you okay?"

Kagome made no motion. She slowly lowered her eyes from Inuyasha's and looked at the ground as Inuyasha had done before. "....why..." she softly asked after some time.

Inuyasha swallowed the lump in his throat. "It's not very clear..."

After Inuyasha had explained what was going on to Kagome, and what he knew about their options, Kagome just looked at the ground some more. Like maybe if she stared long enough it would swallow her up and take her out of the hell she was just entering.

She was about to tell Inuyasha to leave her alone, but realized he had wrapped himself around her.

"We can't give up." Inuyasha choked out. "Our pups strong, Kagome."

"I know." Kagome said, trying to keep her tears back.

"Somehow, I'm sure if we do what we can, everything'll work out." Inuyasha answered back.

Kagome nodded, but heard the strong doubt in his voice loud and clear. "Of course." she replied back weakly. "...we can't tell Kawayou about this..."

"...but we have to tell him about everything else." Inuyasha answered back as he rubbed her back soothingly. "The more he knows, the better off he'll be."

Kagome started to stand up. "Yes. I know." She looked up at Inuyasha. "But where in the world do we begin?"
