Chapter 17-Beautiful blue eyes

"Miroku, watch your hands!" Screamed Sango as she continued to punch and kick the mat wall that Miroku held up for her. He urgently nodded and pulled his hands out of the way, just barely missing a kick that would have probably broken his wrist.

Sango had been urgently getting back into the habit of beating things up again, and while Kagome was under the ever-watchful eye of Inuyasha she had no one else to rely on for training except for him. And lately she needed a lot of training.

It seemed like she had anger that she wanted to beat out of herself, taking it out on the third mat this week that hadn't been ripped apart by her yet. She just continued to think about Kouga, and his betrayal, Kikyo and the fact that she was just a bitch that got what she deserved, and of course Fluffy dearest and Naraku. Yes, every time she'd think of something to fuel her anger, she'd destroy another of Inuyasha's training tools.

It had been one week since the incident, and no one had seen that much of either Inuyasha or Kagome. No one even knew whether she had woken up or not because Inuyasha had them both locked away in his apartment, the only words to the club coming from his cell phone. It seemed to anger Sango a little that she could not see her friend, but she was also angered that Kagome had deliberately disobeyed him with knowledge that she would be hurt. She just knew that she would be hurt.

She also knew there was a great chance she would die.

And yet she took it, but whether to just be rebel against Inuyasha or because she feared the demon at hand was questionable. She had taken the mortality off of his neck and crushed it, then proceeded to kill him because she knew that if she let him near her he would kill her. If Inuyasha ever let her out of his sight again, she'd have to have a talk with her.

Her sudden thoughts of anger caused her blows to the mat to be more powerful and driven, forcing Miroku to become more alert and having to force himself to not be driven back. He winced with the force of one of her kicks because it nearly knocked the mat out of his hands. He worked as hard as possible to hold it up.

With a kick from the side, Sango ripped the mat in half like she had the other two this week and pushed herself back, panting heavily. She gasped and out of embarrassment put a hand over her eyes. She did it again. Out of anger for something that might have been stupid in the first place, she destroyed another of Inuyasha's training materials. And one of these days he would find out and be angry, which she couldn't handle anymore from him.

Miroku threw down the two pieces of the mat and wiped his hands on his shirt to release it of the numbing sting. Sango could really do some damage when she wanted to. "Sango, what's wrong?"

She sat down on the ground with her knees in the air and her arms hanging between them. Her breathing was still heavy as she blew the bangs out of her eyes. "Sorry, Miroku, I got carried away again. Inuyasha's going to kill me."

Miroku kneeled down in front of her. "What's troubling you?"

"It's nothing."

"Sango, you never hit with force like that unless you're angry. It's not me you're angry at, though, or you would have slapped me by now."

She glanced up at him. "I suppose it's Kagome-chan that I'm angry at, Miroku. How could she have been that reckless?"

He sighed and pulled her into a hug that surprised her slightly, but she was relieved nonetheless. "I couldn't agree more, Sango-san, but no matter how reckless or naïve it was, we have to be glad that she's alright. We also have to be confident in Inuyasha, because this time he's going to succeed in driving her insane."

"How do you know?" She asked as she gripped his shoulders tightly.

"He told me that he has laid down the law for her. But even though she wasn't happy about it, she didn't argue with him."

"She's awake?"

"Yea, she has been for a while now. Her wounds are completely healed, too, and Inuyasha should be coming out of the apartment complex soon, with her following him, of course."
Sango closed her eyes and held the monk closer, resting her burning cheek on his shoulder. "It sounds like she'll go insane. I know I would."

"He was eternally grateful that she had destroyed the monster, but he was also angry that she had disobeyed him and nearly gotten herself killed. I think he mentioned that she had muttered that she wasn't sure why he kept her around, or something to that effect before she quit talking to him altogether."

Sango gripped his shoulders even more tightly and felt him kiss her cheek quickly. They sunk into the silence and became very comfortable in it, relaxing in the feel of holding each other.

The door slammed and Miroku released her to stand again and see Inuyasha stomping in with Kagome right behind him carrying a laptop over her shoulder like a purse. Her lips were scrunched and off to the side, almost proving that she had words that she wanted to say, but none of them were allowed to come out. She acted just like she had before, nothing wrong with her other than the strange silence.

Inuyasha stopped in front of the broken mat on the floor and scratched his head. "Funny…" he started sarcastically. "That's the third one of those I've found this week." He glanced at Sango, who needless to say had a guilty expression on her face. "You're the one destroying my equipment?"

"I'll pay for it, Inuyasha, I'm sorry."

"Just tell me why you're destroying everything and I won't worry about it."

"I'd rather pay for it."

Miroku helped Sango to her feet. "It's nice to finally see the two of you." He chimed.

Kagome snorted. "Yea, I bet. Don't you two have something you want to say to me, too? Along the lines of how stupid I am?"

Miroku crossed his arms and eyed her strangely. "Even though I don't approve of you disobeying Inuyasha, I'm glad that you killed that monster and ended up ok."

Sango nodded. "Same here."

"So I'm only getting the earache from him?" She pointed at Inuyasha, who snorted in response.

Sango simply walked over to her and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, Kagome-chan, it'll be alright." She began to suddenly stare Kagome straight in the eyes with a fascination and Kagome just cocked her eyebrows. "Sango?"

"You're eyes…they're sapphire."

Inuyasha didn't seem shocked, but Miroku then began to do his own analysis. "You're right Sango…they used to be brown."

Kagome glanced around in pursuit of a mirror, and when she found a small one on the wall near the door, she walked over to it to investigate. When she got there, she realized that they were right. Her eyes were incredibly blue, almost like a husky's eyes. They were so beautiful now, and she didn't have the slightest clue as to what had happened.

When she turned back around, she noticed Inuyasha with his arms crossed carefully as he observed her. It seemed as no surprise to him, so she eyed him carefully. "How did my eyes get this way?"

He shrugged. "Your Miko powers?"

"Inuyasha!"

"Alright, damn…" He sighed deeply. "I restored our bond."

"Restored? I thought unless I died you couldn't get rid of it."

Miroku cleared his throat. "I think what he means is that he made it more powerful. More than likely when you were healing so that you healed faster."
"That doesn't explain why me eyes are blue."

He growled and rubbed his eyes. "Oh for fuck's sake…I gave you some of my power so that you're more powerful than before. The part of my demon that I gave you must have turned your eyes that pretty blue."

"You gave me part of your demon?"

"Yea, but it doesn't become fully you. As long as my demon remains your eyes will be blue."

"I see…"

"Yea."
Miroku scratched his head. "I think there's some unresolved tension between the two of you. Maybe you should go and talk about it?"

Inuyasha glared at him. "That's none of your fucking business, moron. Bite your tongue."

"I would, Inuyasha, only I'm using it to talk."
Sango snorted. "Miroku, shut up before he kills you."

Kagome glanced down at the floor, seeming to take something into consideration. Sango shook her head. "Anyway, Inuyasha, I will pay for the damages that I caused. I'm just being careless, that's all."

"Whatever." He growled. He picked up the mat and in one movement, heaved it across the room into the trash. He clapped his hands together and spun around with a smirk on his face. "Alright, now I have news. I've discovered a secret place that Sesshomaru has been running. I want to place a hit on it."

"That's risky, Inuyasha." Miroku stated. "He's always got people walking around and watching out for him."

"That's just it." Kagome said. "It's a challenge, therefore it's exciting and Inuyasha will love it."

Sango snorted. "Yea, but this challenge will involve keeping you out of the way, no doubt. It always does."

Inuyasha growled. "She'll be coming with us."

Both Sango and Miroku seemed shocked. "Really? Since when do you bring her along?"

Kagome gaped. "Thanks, guys, you make me feel wanted." She walked over to the wall that Miroku had sat along and forced herself down with her knees in the air.

Inuyasha sighed. "Look, I agreed not to keep her out of as much as she had been. With both Kikyo and Naraku, even if she didn't listen to me, she proved that she could take care of her self. Besides, I had to be fair, I've laid down several laws for her."

"Several unfair laws." Kagome mumbled, but Inuyasha ignored her.

Sango sighed. "So then what will she do?"

"She'll go in like the rest of us. More than likely standing right beside me."

"She'll be in danger." Miroku ventured.

Kagome took off a knife out of it's sheathe and threw it at him, but Inuyasha managed to take a step forward and caught it before it got too close. "Kagome, would you calm down? No need to go and kill him."

"I'm sick of everyone looking out for me. I know how to take care of myself, I'm your goddamn second in command, for Pete's sake!"

"Well calm down anyway. I'll handle it." His response was a highly uncivilized snort as she turned to look the other way.

Sango walked over to her and sat down beside her, carefully engaging in conversation. Miroku scratched his head from where he was standing. "Well Inuyasha, what are your plans for Fluffy dearest?"

"Simple, we're going to take him out."

"But Inuyasha, he knows all about Kagome. He knows that she killed Kikyo, and he knows that she killed Naraku."

"How do you know?"

"Because he has a uncanny way of finding out everything that has nothing to do with him at all. And naturally, he could smell the blood of that accident in his club. He was more than likely attracted to it and took note that Kagome's scent was everywhere. Also, when we had gone back to the limo to retrieve a few things, Kagome's knifes were gone. I'm thinking that he took them."

"Well you can think all you want, that doesn't make them true. Fluffy doesn't always go searching out blood scents."

"But he does know the scent of Kagome's blood."

He sighed. "Yea, I guess so."

Miroku took his tone down to a whisper so that Kagome wouldn't overhear. "So, how have things between the two of you gone?"

He shrugged. "I was angry at first, but I'm glad that she's alright. And she had felt really bad for not listening to me, and continued to tell me that she didn't understand why I put up with her in the first place. She doesn't feel like she deserves me, or something like that."
"Well maybe you should spend more time together."

"We spent a whole week in my apartment."

"But what were you doing? You were healing. You really didn't have a chance to talk or anything with her. I mean, she does deserve some time to the two of you for taking out that bastard in the first place, even if she disobeyed you."

He shrugged and began to pop his knuckles. "I guess."

"Well how bad do you think your relationship is at the moment?"
Inuyasha managed to snort and stared at him. "Let's put it this way. I'm having relationship problems and I'm talking to you about them."

"Touché, Inuyasha, touché."

"Anyway, what I want you to do is get information on the Black Demon Casino by three o-clock tonight. That'll be where we hit next."

Sango nodded and stood, pulling Kagome to her feet. "Inuyasha, do you mind if Kagome and I spar?"

"Spar? Kagome knows how to spar?"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Let me show you that I can spar, Inuyasha. You just sit against the wall like we made Miroku." She leaned to the side to whisper to Sango. "I know you're thinking of going easy on me, but I'm not about to let you, got it?"

"But Kagome…"
"No buts, that's the only way I will learn to fight the right way."

Sango shrugged. "Ok, but if Inuyasha says anything then you need to take the heat."

"I always take the heat, Sango. I'm the only one here that he will absolutely refuse to kill."

Kagome sat her laptop on the ground by the wall and dropped her coat on the floor. Inuyasha's eyebrows were scrunched with worry, basically saying that he didn't like the thought of Kagome fighting physically with a woman that was just as strong as she was. As she slowly tied her hair up she watched him stare at her for a moment before speaking. "You sit against the wall."
"I don't like this idea."

"I don't care, I've done it before and as long as Sango doesn't aim for my neck I'll be fine." She removed her shoes and grabbed the wraps off of the floor to wrap tightly around her palms. As Sango slowly did the same thing that she was doing, Kagome had gotten ready and was now rotating her shoulders. She was going to have fun for the first time in a while, and Inuyasha would just have to sit back and watch.

Miroku noticed his friend's hesitation to sit down and enjoy the show, so he grabbed his leather coat and pulled him off his feet to sit by the wall near him. "Come on, Inuyasha, these events are so fun to watch."

He growled and looked away. "Sango's not your mate, you wouldn't know what it's like to just sit here and watch someone beat the crap out of the woman you vow to protect."

"Well, Inuyasha, I see your point, but Sango's not going to dare harm Kagome with you down here. The most that has ever happened was Kagome received a few blows to the stomach, but she was fine after a breather."

Inuyasha glared at him rather accusingly. "And this was when?"

Miroku peeped. "Uh, nothing…"

"Monk…" Inuyasha reached forward and pulled Miroku by the collar so that they were now nose to nose. "You know better than to keep events like this a secret from me. Especially if Kagome's involved, and if it's something that could cause her an injury…"

Miroku backed up and laughed nervously. "Inuyasha, calm down. Sparing is a great way to learn self-defense. And besides, I told you already, Sango wouldn't dare harm Kagome with you watching."
Inuyasha snorted and glanced around. Hmph, Miroku's right. Sango isn't stupid enough to hurt Kagome like that when all I have to do is stand up and beat the crap out of her…

Inuyasha, you will NOT hurt Sango because nothing's going to happen to me, don't even think it. He glanced up to see Kagome giving him a sharp glare, and he rolled his eyes while sighing loud enough for everyone to hear. He reached over and grabbed her computer, setting it up in his lap. Kagome's voice came into his head again. And don't read my diary or I'll never speak to you again.

When are you going to quit being so bitchy with me?
I don't know, whenever I feel like it. She stood straight and clenched and unclenched her hands with a smirk on her face. "Alright, Sango, give me your best shot."

"Do and die." Inuyasha stated before Miroku elbowed him sharply.

Kagome stopped to put her hands on her hips and glare at him. "I can take care of myself, this is not a real battle, and I don't need you threatening everyone who even talks to me!"

"I'm not, but I swear if she hurts you…"

"Stop it, damn it, that's the only way I would learn."

"Psh, whatever, the only thing you would learn is how to cry."

"I don't cry."

"Yes you do, and you know it. You're just too damn stubborn to admit it, aren't you?"

She crossed her arms and glared at him. "You moron."

"Shut up and answer me!"

"Care to explain to me how I'm going to do both, you idiot!"

Sango sighed. "Kagome, you first."

Kagome scowled at her mate before turning and shaking her head to rid it of the tightness she had just acquired. Inuyasha was so infuriating at times, she didn't know what to do with him. "Hai." She bent down and charged, bending down a foot in front of her to bring a swinging kick up to her face. Using her forearms, Sango avoided the blow and she twisted completely around to deliver a kick of her own (with which she was very wary because of Inuyasha), but Kagome ducked out of the way and swept her feet out from underneath her.

Sango landed on her back, but out of experience she pushed herself back to her feet with her arms and legs and got right back into the fight. As they threw punches, kicks and shoves at each other it was apparent that both girls were well matched this time. Of course with Inuyasha's watchful eye, no one could be certain if they were really trying as hard as they could be.

Miroku smiled dreamily as he watched the woman fight. By now both were covered in sweat, and the moves they made would show off their wonderful strength. The monk gazed at Sango and sudden unnecessary thoughts came over him…

Inuyasha's rude tapping on the head snapped him out of his trance. "If Kagome's anywhere in that perverted head of yours I'll be ripping you to bits now."

"Kagome may be an attractive woman, Inuyasha, but I'm not stupid enough to dream about her. I mean, come on, I don't plan on dying quite yet."

"That'd be a wise choice." He glanced back at the fight and sighed. "I feel like I don't even know that woman."

Miroku finally worked up enough courage to look away from the enticing scene before him and glanced at Inuyasha. "What do you mean?"

"There are things I don't know about her still, and things that are puzzling the hell out of me. And she is so pissed off at me right now that things are not going well, so I can't just sit down and talk to her about it."

"You might want to remind her that you can't stop being mates. You're bonded forever now."

Inuyasha childishly smacked the back of the monk's head enough to stun and not harm. "I think she knows that, dumbass."

He sighed while holding his head. "I have another thought…" He stated quietly.

"Well I have nothing better to do than to listen, so hurry up before you expire of old age."

"Perhaps the demon that's inside her has something to do with it?"

That possibility clicked in his head. "You're saying that since part of me is in her, she's just being as stubborn as I am." He hummed for a minute while watching the women fight. "Maybe you're right, but there's also nothing I can do about that. It's already been done."

Miroku shook his head softly at Inuyasha. He nodded at Kagome. "Just look at her, Inuyasha. She's so strong and free willed, incredibly powerful with a mind of her own." The monk smirked and glanced at his friend. "Despite the constant fights you two may have, she really does have a much better life here with you. With her father, she couldn't argue like this unless in a courtroom. She probably couldn't fight, spar, or even look slightly disrespectful to another person. You've allowed her to express herself, and even if you do have tight boundaries for her, she still is very grateful to you. I'm betting she would never trade this life for anything."

Inuyasha looked straight ahead of him, seeming to see something that wasn't really there. "You're right for once, Monk. She does have a better life with me. But why can't she ever admit it?"

"She doesn't deny it."

"Give her time or ask her."

"She's just stubborn, Inuyasha, even you knew that."

A loud smack against the mat and the boy's jerked up to attention for the girls. Sango was flat on her back, trying to catch her breath (or gain it back because it had been knocked out of her) and utter shock displayed on her face. Kagome stood above her, hands on her knees as she worked to regain her breath.

Miroku scratched his head. "Sango, are you alright?"

She waved the thought off, unable to form words just yet. After about two minutes of breathing and Kagome moving to stand over her, she managed to inhale deeply. "I think you won that round, Kagome-chan."

"I'm sorry, Sango, I'll never do that again."

She sat up and held her head. "Don't worry about it…although that'd be a great move to use for self defense. In fact I think you cheated, because I don't remember that being a part of Karate or kick boxing."

"You're right. I'm sorry."

Inuyasha stood and walked to stand over her, staring at the fallen girl carefully. "You smell ok. You musta just got the wind knocked out of you."

"If you had been watching you would see why, Inuyasha."

He snorted and glanced at Kagome. "Now Kagome, are you being too rough on my security head?" He purred like one would to a child.

Kagome snorted and crossed her arms. "I just had something on my mind and the next thing I knew I was performing move 13 from my self-defense class's on her."

"In other words?"

"I body slammed her."

Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow and looked down at Sango. "Well, she's still alive, I don't think you slammed her hard enough."

"Great, I'll try harder next time. The move's the most effective on cement or hard floor." Kagome sat down on the mat, basically falling to sit on her ass, and continued to pant slightly. Boy that was more of a workout then I thought it should be.

"Hey Inuyasha, look at this!" Chimed Shippo as he and Kira walked into the room. "These are some of Naraku's old toys that we had taken out of his limo."

Kira held up a gun that had a red laser for aiming on it, just letting it hang from her finger in the trigger guard. "Such a despicable demon. He cheated in everything."

Shippo smirked. "Yea, but look at this." He held up his wrist to show off a strange weapon indeed. It was platinum silver and it strapped tightly around your forearm. A handle was placed at the end to hold onto to and aim, and a small trigger was positioned there too.

It was obviously a machine gun, but the upper half was what was stunning the most. It was like a giant sword folded in half so that the sharp end of the blade was facing the outside of his arm. Shippo beamed. "Watch." With a flick of the wrist, the sword extended to it's full length to become a fully operated and dangerous weapon, easily maneuvered by the owner. "What do you think?"

Inuyasha eyed it carefully. Shippo had known to ask Inuyasha because he was an expert on weapons if there ever were one. "That's a nice peace of defense, for a despicable bastard that cheats. I like the design, but I wonder why I've never seen one like that before."

Kagome smirked. "Oh I have. My father knew a guy that designed swords, and that was one of the designs I remembered seeing."

Sango grabbed Miroku by the pants and hauled herself to her feet. "That would be nice to carry around, though, for someone that's not as strong as other people in the club."

Shippo snorted. "Naw, I'll keep it, you guys don't appreciate it as much as I do."

Kira shook her head as if she couldn't believe she dated this demon. "You and your toys."

"I'll have to admit though, that bastard did have some pretty high tech stuff. Though before we could go back for anything else the cops already had the car in custody. Who knows, Kagome's probably wanted for murder now."

Kagome paled and gulped while Inuyasha growled. "Shippo, that's not going to happen for one thing. You're scaring her, so don't say something like that again or I'll have your head on a post."

He sighed. "Yes, Inuyasha."

The boss of the group glanced down a little anyway, guiltily at the floor before attempting to regain his composure. "Besides, I'm the most wanted person in this room, and I have yet to see the cops find the club. Hell, I don't think any of them even have the balls to come after me. They've got me on so many counts of murder it's not even funny, but not once has a cop actually confronted me about it. I used to roam the streets all the time, too."

Kagome shook her head to rid herself of the thoughts and glanced at Sango. "Wanna go for another round?"

Sango laughed nervously. "Sorry, Kagome, I don't think that I could handle another round today."

The woman glanced at Miroku. "Houshi-sama?" She beamed slightly at him because with his new nickname, he almost looked startled. It was always fun to see what sort of reactions could be pulled from this humble monk.

He also laughed, shaking and waving his hands as if the idea was the most bizarre one he had ever heard. "NO, no, that's quite alright. I'm just fine watching, I couldn't handle a body slam to the floor."

Kagome rolled her eyes, wondering why no one would drop that subject. "It was an accident, though, I won't do it again."

"Sorry, I'm just too tired."

She sighed. "Inuyasha's not going to sit in here and watch me train by myself." He snorted and rolled his eyes. Why must she say things like that? He thought to himself.

Kagome walked over to a large punching bag in the corner of the room, and with all her strength she started to punch, delivering a high kick every once in a while. While she worked on that (and of course, Inuyasha listening to make sure she didn't harm herself), he pulled out Kagome's laptop again and logged himself onto the internet. Miroku and Sango knelt beside him so that he could show them the plans, while Kira and Shippo stood on the opposite wall, investigating Kagome with a lot of interest.

Inuyasha's hacking abilities brought him into the Black Demon Casino email page. There were hundreds of emails, but one of them in particular had already been selected and he brought up the page. It was a full request for the next shipment of cash, and directions on how to get there. "Ah, my brother grows naïve. I could rob this thing blindfolded, in fact I should try that sometime."

Sango sighed. "The 'thing' you've been looking for can't be kept here, Inuyasha, unless Fluffy keeps it in a secret safe."

"I'm not giving up, it's around here somewhere. I will not rest until I have it."

Miroku sat down fully beside his friend with every intention of talking him out of it. "Please, Inuyasha, this is childish now, don't you think? You've been looking for it for years. You'll never get it."

The Hanyou snorted. "That's what you think. The shit reeks, I'll be able to sniff it out if it's nearby." He had thought for years that his father had only given it to Sesshomaru because he was the oldest child. Now, after he had known for certain that it was only given to Fluffy because he was a true demon, he wanted more than anything to rob the man of it. Sesshomaru kept it very secret; in fact, Inuyasha had never had to work so hard to find something he wanted. Not only did he want it to hurt his brother's pride, but he wanted it for future use. Something that powerful would come in handy, indeed.

His search for the bottle of potion, however, had been put on hold for a long time because of Kagome. Now that most of his problems were gone, he would continue to act to the childish war they had going. It was all leading up to one thing, and they both knew it. One of these days, an actual stand off would occur to determine which brother was best once and for all. Hearts would break, people would die, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Of course…Kagome wasn't going to be one of those people. And neither were Shippo, Kira, Sango and Miroku. He had to admit to himself that they were all 'friends', even if he was the gang leader and would kill them if necessary. He was convinced that Kagome couldn't live without them also in her life.

Hence another great use for the potion.

The potion was the only one in known existence, capable of creating partial immortality (in other words, like how long Inuyasha will live). At first he just wanted the potion to hold onto, but now he could actually use it to keep his friends around with him for as long as they lived.

Of course, he would never admit to wanting them around, and he would never tell them that he had friends other than Kagome. They would never let him live that down because he had always said that he never needed friends, or humans for that matter. He had always said that they were fragile, useless things that should only be tossed aside when they become useless. He meant it then, but now…now he knew that humans could be much stronger than most demons. He wasn't sure where he stood on that, though.

But he wouldn't give any hints as to why he wanted the potion. It would be sort of like a surprise. The only one who would know is Kagome, and that's only because she could read his mind. He'd have to be careful on how he though nowadays.

Kira gasped and everyone turned their attention to what she was gasping at. Kagome had fallen to her knees, completely still with her eyes closed. In fact, no one could tell if she was even breathing. Inuyasha tried to talk to her through his mind, but she wouldn't respond. Something weird was going on…

Miroku grabbed Inuyasha's shoulder before he darted up to attempt and find out what happened. The half demon growled at him. "What the HELL do you think you're doing?!"

"Kagome-chan appears to be having a vision, Inuyasha, do not disturb her."

"How do you know that?! It's probably some sort of seizure, and you're signing your death certificate while you hold me down like this."

Miroku turned with a very angry gaze at Inuyasha. "DOES SHE SMELL ILL TO YOU? A vision is a very important message; it could be very helpful with the future. If you interrupt her, she may never know what that sight was trying to tell her, and I want Kagome-chan to have an experience like that."

"What, you've had an experience?"

"As a matter of fact I have."

"And the result?"

He motioned towards Sango. "I met my dear Sango-san, Inuyasha. Kagome's vision will probably be different, but you must let her have it."

He sighed. He didn't like this one bit, but the monk was probably right (as usual). Sometime I will face the music. There are some things that Kagome has to do for herself.

*^_^* Kagome's vision

It was like she was there on the street, but she couldn't move. She could only watch the future scene around her with astonishment. She had never had one of these strange visions before, but she found it to be fun. Who wouldn't want to see what was going to happen, or have something great being led to them all because of a dream?

The outside edges of the dream were very foggy, everything that could be seen clearly was in the very middle, even though it was dark outside. In this dream, she saw herself, holding a gun out and pointed at an unknown figure. Inuyasha was right beside her, leather coat ensemble and all, but a lovely machine gun between his hands. He spoke words that could not be heard, and Kagome nodded her head in agreement.

Suddenly, like a movie, the scene changed to who she thought was Inuyasha at first with the blades that Naraku had used attached to each arm. However, after slashing through the people around him, she noticed that the form underneath all that leather seemed more petite, a little thinner than Inuyasha by all means.

But what she would never forget, was when the demon seemed to sense her. The ears swiveled back and turned sharply, revealing someone completely stranger to her. This demon looked so much like Inuyasha, in fact she couldn't tell the difference until she stared at the factor that stared her right back. Those eyes…those beautiful sapphire eyes…

*^_^* End vision

Kagome suddenly woke and hit the floor from falling backwards. She panted while everyone ran to look down at her. "Are you alright?" Miroku asked.

She looked around her and squinted. "Yes, I'm fine." She stated quietly. She grabbed Inuyasha's clawed hand and was pulled to a sitting position so that she looked directly at him. The looks that she gave him were so odd, he could do nothing more than stare right back with a cocked eyebrow. "Monk, I thought you said she'd be ok."
Miroku ignored Inuyasha completely. "Kagome-chan, how was it?"

She lightly touched Inuyasha's face. "So much alike…" She said quietly. She glanced at Miroku and stood. "Come, houshi-sama, I want you to decipher my dream for me before I tell anyone else about it."

He nodded and walked with her over to the other side of the room, talking as quietly as possible. Inuyasha just stared straight ahead, seemingly confused. "What in the seven hells…" He started.

Sango sighed. "I don't know either, Inuyasha. But I found it interesting. You're definitely in it." She thought back to the 'so much alike' comment, and wondered what that could possibly mean. So much alike…

Miroku had a finger on his chin as he thought about it. "So you said this demon was like Inuyasha in every way, except for the eyes? And it even had the weapons that Shippo likes so much?"

"I'm thinking that 'it' was a she, because she was petite."

"Hmm…" He smirked. "Ah, yes, of course."

"What's it mean?"

"I'm believing that the vision told you, in my version, that if you survive all of this, you will have a lovely daughter. And the blue eyes were the inheritance from you, as well as the petite form." He beamed. "I must say that is rather encouraging, don't you think?"

She smiled softly as she glanced off to the side. Wow…"Are you sure, Miroku?"

"My vision was similar, however most visions are only if a certain thing occurs. A child would be about twenty years in the future, by the sound of it. That means that if you survive this all, which you will, you will raise a child of your own in likeness to both you and Inuyasha in many ways."

Kagome smirked. That thought seemed very appealing…appealing indeed. She deserved it, after all that she had been through. Or at least that's what she told herself. A daughter of my own…incredible.

A what of your own?

Kagome snapped her head up and stared at Inuyasha with a slight smile on her face. Crossing her arms tightly, she smiled at him. "Inuyasha…" She said loudly. "I want you to promise me that we'll live through this."

He snorted. "What for?"

"Just promise, please."

"You know damn well nothing will ever harm you again."

"You either." She said with a smirk, walking over to her coat so that she could start putting her clothing back on. She would keep it to herself for a while, or let the monk tell it. Just as long as she didn't have to at the moment. She'd love to bathe in the beauty of knowledge.

Inuyasha snorted and stood. "What's going on? What did you see, Kagome?"

"Nothing, nothing…" She stated, making sure that she had all her equipment. Her mood seemed enlightened, and she grinned when she looked up at Inuyasha. "Come with me, Inuyasha."

"Where do you think you're going?"

She walked over to him and grabbed his hand. "WE are going to have a little talk, pal. In your office, please." She basically dragged him out. They had a lot to discuss, and Kagome was hoping to do more than just talk with him. She never got much time alone with him anymore, anyway, and having a baby seemed like fun, under the circumstances that all of their enemies were dead and ash on the ground. And even if she did disobey Inuyasha, she wanted a reward for taking that demon bastard out for him. That's why she had pulled him out of the room so quickly, with the remaining four staring in astonishment, or in Miroku's case, amusement.

After a moment, Sango crossed her arms and stared after them. "Miroku…"

"Yes?"

"Is Inuyasha going to get Kagome-chan pregnant?"

Miroku smirked. Sango was one of the best at coming up with out of the blue questions. "Probably someday, Sango. Probably someday."

(A/N-Thanks again for the reviews, but now I have a question to ask.

Out of curiosity, would you guys like me to write a sequel to this? I'm not going to tell you what it would be about just yet, but I have hinted it on in my story if you look carefully. Just tell me what you think in the reviews, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask and I'll answer them next chapter!)
