Disclaimer: Hi!!!!! *160 * Reviews!!! YAY! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE TO REVIEW!!! I REALLY REALLY APPRIECIATE IT! Well, at the end of this chapter... I'll have more answers to questions and I'll have some notes down there. So, please read the bottom too! Thanks! And please continue to review!

"Inuyasha, I uh......I need to go." Kagome said hastily.

"Why?" He asked sadly.

Kagome chuckled and laughed. "I gotta finish up that math you interrupted." She said, with humor in her voice. Inuyasha smirked and looked at her. Kagome untangled herself from his arms and smiled.

"I gotta go!"

She ran up the stairs and closed the doors. "I know he still thinks Kikyo when he looks at me. I know I told him I trusted him but....he does love her." Kagome whispered softly. "I'm not getting myself ready for some heartbreak. I guess, I'll just have to avoid him....for now. Until I can get over this Kikyo thing we're going through.

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

Meanwhile, Sango was hiding in a bush near Kaede's. She could hear the conversation occurring in the shrine.

"Miroku. What were you doing?" Shippo asked innocently. "Why was your face so close to Sango's?"

Miroku cleared his throat and gulped.

"It was nothing Shippo. Children will know nothing of it." He said, nodding in head and resting it on his staff.

"STOP TREATING ME LIKE A KID! I'M NOT* A KID!" Shippo yelled defensively. Miroku sighed. He hated these kinds of arguments.

"FINE YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?! I'LL PROVE IT!I CHALLENGE YOU!" He yelled pointing at the monk.

"Challenge me? Shippo, you know you're no match for me."

"HAH! IN TRUTH OR DARE! HOW'S THAT?! KAGOME TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY!"

"She....did?" Miroku said, gulping, knowing that the fox was thinking something vile.

"YEA! SO....WHO FIRST?!"

"You can ask me." Miroku said confidently, hoping that the little fox wouldn't make him do or say anything too embarrassing.

"TRUTH....OR DARE?!" Shippo said triumphantly.

"Uhm....DARE?" Miroku said, gulping.

"Okay.........well......" Shippo got up and transformed himself to Kagome.

"What are you doing Kag---Shippo?" Miroku asked Shippo.

"Well, I'm more suited to ask questions in this form! So......I dare you to go out and get Sango back in here and explain what happened!" Shippo laughed and Miroku looked at "Kagome" oddly.

"Arg....Fine."

"SANGO?" Miroku said, running out the shrine. He went from side to side. "Sango? Hello?"

"What?!" Sango asked from a bush behind him. Miroku jumped. "What?"

"You need to come with me. Shippo's er.. now in Kagome's form, is playing truth or dare. We have explain what we were doing when they walked in.

"WHAT?!" Miroku looked at her expectantly.

"Well, it isn't my fault."

"What if we don't?"

"I suppose that Kag.er....Shippo has something in store for us if we don't."

Sango smirked. "Well can't be that* bad. I can take anything that little fox does."

Miroku smiled and nodded, and they walked back over to the shrine. "You know, I wasn't lying when I said you were beautiful." He said moving his hand to her. Sango blushed and tried to move away.

"THEY BETTTER COME BACK!" Shippo/Kagome yelled pacing across the room.

"Aye child. I believe they will." Kaede replied, not seeing what this 'truth or dare' was.

Miroku burst into the room with an extremely red Sango next to him. Shippo/Kagome stared at them oddly.

"What's the consequence if I don't do it?"

Shippo/Kagome grinned evilly. "You and Sango do everything* I tell you to do for one hour."

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

Inuyasha sighed. "Darn....Kagome isn't going to be down a while. I should just visit the others."

**********************************
"COME ON MIROKU!!!! GET ME SOME FOOD!! YOU SANGO!!! GET A FAN AND COOL ME OFF!!!" Shippo/Kagome yelled, stretching out on the bed.

(A/N I'll just call Shippo, Kagome now k? He is in Kagome's form after all. ^_^)

"Coming, Lady Kagome." Miroku said, forgetting that it was Shippo in Kagome's form.

"HURRY UP MONK!!!!!! I'M TIRED OF WAITING!!!! SANGO COME ON FASTER WITH THE FAN!!!!! IT'S REALLY HOT!!!!!!!!!"

"Yes, Kagome." Sango looked at Kagome angrily. 'Arg...Maybe we should just answer that question.'

Miroku handed Kagome all kinds of food and Kagome hungrily ate it all. Miroku and Sango stared in disbelief. The little kitsune ate so much, but was so small.

(A/N Remember Shippo's in Kagome's form)

"MIROKU...I.....WANT...SOME......TEA..." Kagome said between bites, grabbing some food here and there.

Miroku ran and got some herbal tea trying to get back to his 'master' as quick as possible.

"Here, Lady Kagome, Rose Hip Tea." Miroku said, his mouth watering. He felt like now was a good time to have a nice cup of tea, and to just sit and think about a certain exterminator he had just made "bonds" with.

'Maybe I should just spare Sango and me the trouble and tell Kag...er...Shippo what I was doing.' He thought miserably.

"MIROKU I WANT A CUSHION TO SIT ON!!!"

"Coming." He said angrily.

"SANGO!! GO GET ME SOMETHING TO WASH MY HANDS IN!!!"

Sango looked at the transformed girl angrily looking for a bowl and a miniature towel for her to wash her hands in.

(A/N Reminder again...sorry. Just wanna remind you it's still Shippo.)

Suddenly Inuyasha burst through the door expecting to see his friends sitting quietly by the fire. But what he saw was the absolute opposite. The place was a mess.

"Ka-Kagome?" He said, referring to the transformed kitsune.

"Hmmm?" Shippo said, looking up. 'Oh it's Inuyasha...hehe, I'll play a trick on him again.' He thought happily.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome oddly. He was so confused he didn't notice the difference in her scent. He just looked at her she was, different somehow.

"Kagome?"
"COMING!" Sango yelled. Miroku ran out the side door at that same moment and *wham* they collided.

"AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!" Sango yelled dropping the bowl. Miroku, who was jumping on one foot, off balance fell right on "Kagome."

"ARRGGGGG!!! MIROKU GET OFF ME!!!!!!!"

This action seemed to pull something in Inuyasha's mind; and suddenly Inuyasha found himself jealous of the monk, wanting to kill him right then and there for touching his* "Kagome".

"MIROKU WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING TO HER?!" Inuyasha yelled getting the wrong idea.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha oddly. When he finally got the message his eyes became wide. "NO. I DID NOT...NO...INUYASHA....."

Inuyasha growled at him and pulled out his sword. "INUYASHA!! DON'T DO IT!! YOU'LL REGRET KILLING ME!!!!!!!" He yelled trying to dodge the attacks.

"I NEARLY GOT KILLED BY SANGO, NOT BY YOU TOO!" He yelled. Shippo looked at Sango and she nodded, confirming that she indeed* tried to attack him too. The lech. It was his fault, he never should have peeked at her in the first place. But, then again....she never would have been able to talk with him and "bond" if he didn't.

Shippo smiled at the two brawling men. "MIROKU WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU DO* WITH KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled swinging his sword yet again.

"Nothing! I was just serving Kagome, and...."

"SERVING KAGOME?! WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN?!" Inuyasha yelled.

Miroku had completely forgotten that Kagome was really Shippo in disguise, otherwise he would have said something. He stood by Kagome and stared blank. Then he remembered.

"NO!!!!!! THAT'S NOT HER---------------ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!" He grabbed his chest and began to cough vigorously. Shippo jabbed in the side, hard.

"Miroku, you should tell him what you did to me."

"Is that why you had to leave in the middle of our conversation in your world?"

'Conversation? OOooooOoOOO...' Shippo thought. 'Did Inuyasha kiss Kagome or something?"

"Kagome" nodded trying to fake sadness along with it.

"MIROKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"INUYASHA WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! HER SCENT!!! CHECK HER SCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Miroku yelled.

"HER SCENT?! WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT-------*sniff sniff*"

'That scent, that's not Kagome scent....smells like a demon....'

"SHIPPO YOU JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled running into "Kagome."

"ACK!! INUYASHA WHAT ARE YOU DOING IT'S ME KAGOME!!!"

**************************************************************************** ******
"Sis, where's Inuyasha?" Sota asked.

"Hmmm....I don't know." Kagome sighed. "He probably went back to the Feudal Age...."

'To be with Kikyo.' She thought.

"Will he come back?" Sota asked, tugging on his sister's sleeve.

"Yea, definitely. He's probably just visiting them.

**************************************************************************** ****
After Inuyasha was done beating Shippo, he smirked and walked out the shrine. "Feh, Kagome's probably wondering where I am."

Shippo was sprawled all over the floor swirly eyed and unconscious. Miroku and Sango merely stared at the cub and shook their heads.

"Are you alright Miroku?" Sango asked, referring to the jab Miroku received earlier. He was still holding on to his side.

"Yea, I'm fine." He said, moaning at bit. "Really I'm fine."

'Gotta find a way for her to stop worrying about me.' He thought. 'Grope!' He thought. 'That should get her angry....But I'll get slapped. Arg. It beats getting her all frustrated over me like this.'

He slowly trailed his hand down lower....and lower...and....lower.. *grope grope*

He closed his eyes afraid of the slap that should have immediately come after. Yet, none came. He opened one of his eyes to look at the demon exterminator questionably.
"I know you only did that to stop me worrying about you." Sango said sadly. "Here let me take a look at it." She said moving her hand onto the area that was hit. Miroku jumped and she chuckled.

"Well, you're definitely gonna be sore tomorrow....But you should be fine overall. We'll just get back at that little fox, okay?" She said smiling.

Miroku smiled back and put his arm around her. "Thanks, for worrying about me. It means a lot." Sango blushed.

"Your welcome."

**************************************************************************** ***
Inuyasha ran across the forest eager to go back into the well to see Kagome back in her time. He rushed as fast as his feet would carry him. But suddenly, something stopped him. A long, while, skinny creature flew in the air.

"Kikyo's demons....." He whispered looking up. Once he looked down, Kikyo stood before him.

"Kikyo."

"Hello Inuyasha. I assume you are well. How are things with you?" She said, with a cold depth in her voice.

"Fine." Inuyasha bit back just as cold.

"I've heard you're traveling to that wench's time." She said referring to Kagome. Inuyasha growled.

"She is not a wench." He said flexing his claws.

"Inuyasha, she does not belong in this world. She is nothing but a mere copy of me. Don't you think you'll be happier living with me? The real thing?"

"Kagome is* real. Kikyo, I'm sorry I--------------"

Kikyo put a finger up to his lips to stop him and leaned in to kiss him. He stopped and pulled away.

"Kikyo I can't I-------------"

"Do not make your decision now. The girl will betray you. She does not* love you. She merely stays in this world to collect the jewel shards out of guilt. Could she really love a half-demon? Like me?"

Confusion and anxiety filled Inuyasha's mind. Questions like, 'What if she's right? What if Kagome really is just staying with me to find the shards?' filled his entire being.

He looked up. No one was there. Kikyo was gone, leaving him in frustration..... Again.

***********************************************************
Inuyasha jumped out of the well and walked back into Kagome's house and found her sitting on the couch.

"Hey." He said looking at her oddly remembering Kikyo's words.

"Hey." She responded not looking up. "Went to see Kikyo?" She asked shifting in her chair.

"Uh....what makes you think that?"

" You're stuttering now, must mean you did." She said sadly. "Inuyasha.....I----"
"Kagome, don't say anything. She* met up with me. Not the other way around. And nothing happened."

*Flashback*

Kikyo looked at him with those cold brown eyes of hers.

"She does not* love you. She merely stays in this world to collect the jewel shards out of guilt. Could she really love a half-demon?"

*End Flashback*

Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha....if you want to be with her--------"

"Which I DON'T." Inuyasha said abruptly grabbing Kagome.

"Which you might*" She corrected. "I.....I wish for the best."

"Kagome, how many times do I have to tell you, I CHOOSE YOU! NOT KIKYO. YOU!"

"Inuyasha....words don't mean anything until they are done. I don't think any attempts have been taken with you're so called "choice" to pick me."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome angrily.

"YOU STILL DON'T THINK SO?! I KISS YOU, I HUGGED YOU, I WENT EVERYWHERE WITH YOU, I EVEN TRIED TO COOK RAMEN ONCE. WHAT CAN I DO TO PROVE IT TO YOU?" He asked frustrated.

"Is it just because I'm a half-breed?" He said angrily. "Feh, that's right. Us half-demons are nothing but scum. How could we ever think that anyone would find us anything else but filthy animals." Kikyo's words ringing in his mind.

"Inuyasha, that's not it."

"Then what is it?! Do you just stay with me because you feel guilty about breaking the jewel? If that's it than feel free to leave. I don't want to be a burden to you and your "studies.""

"I stay with you because I want too. I like you just the way you are. Where did you get all these ideas about me not liking you?" She asked looking him straight in the eye.

"Kagome, what can I do?! You don't believe a single word I say!"

"I do* believe you. I just believe that you do* love Kikyo too. That's all I'm saying. And like I SAID if you want to be with her than go ahead."

"ARG!!! YOU STUPID GIRL!!! WHY DON'T YOU EVER BELIEVE ME?! GODS!!! THIS IS SO FREAKIN' STUPID!!!!!!!!!" He yelled. He then looked back down at Kagome. He was a light, drop of water from her eye.

'She's....crying. Because, of me...' He thought a pang of guilt surging through his body.

"Kagome....Please don't cry. I'm sorry I..."

"If you don't like me than you can leave."

"Kagome..listen. I do like you. More than that, I..you mean a lot to me."

Kagome continued to cry and Inuyasha felt like the world was falling apart. Gods, he hated it when girls cried. Especially* when Kagome did.

He took out his hand and cupped Kagome chin, forcing her to look straight into his eyes.

"Come on, you look awful with that face." Inuyasha said laughing a bit; trying to lighten the mood.

Kagome chuckled a bit. "I guess I always look like that." She said truthfully.

"Really? Well then, you're not as smart as I thought you were." He said smirking.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean that....you're everything to me. Don't go off crying like that again. Ok?" He said still holding her.

Kagome nodded and smiled at him.

"Don't believe anything I say when I get angry. Okay? I just get really frustrated sometimes..."

Kagome nodded.

"You look really tired. Go get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow morning." He said smiling at her.

With that, Kagome retreated into her room, and Inuyasha headed towards his "room" that he shared with Kagome's little brother.

To: Inuyasha 94

Q: why when Inuyasha turns full demon, he has the purple stripes on his face and his eyes are red, but why does Sesshomaru have the purple stripes but his eyes aren't red only when he turned into a giant dog demon in episode 7? also why does Inuyasha lose control of his mind when he's a full demon?

A: Well I'll start from the top. You may already know this, but I'll just say it. ^__^ Inuyasha becomes a demon when he feels that there is no hope to win a battle and he really wants to. He throws Tetsuaiga (his sword) aside. Why does it matter when he throws Tetsuaiga aside?

Well you see, Inuyasha's father gave him Tetsuaiga to keep his demon blood dormant; hoping that his demon blood wouldn't take over. The sword's purpose was to help him in battle against tough enemies so that Inuyasha's demon blood wouldn't subside and take over. Still, it does happen every now and then, when Inuyasha throws Tetsuaiga aside and becomes full demon. Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's half brother, and you may have known that already.

Inuyasha loses control when he's full demon because he is not used to having the demon blood, let alone having the ability to control it. Demons generally kill people and like to go and destroy things. That's what his demon blood does to him. This results into serious rampage killing everything in his path. That is why his father was intent on making Inuyasha have the Tetsuaiga; to avoid this.

Inuyasha has purple stripes and his eyes turn red when he becomes a demon because well, that would be his form as a demon. Considering he was born only half demon half human, his body cannot really change into a giant dog demon like his father and brother. A reason why Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are nothing alike in demon forms is because Sesshomaru had a different mother; and apparently, his mother was a demon. He could have just taken the stripes of her.

Sesshomaru's eyes turn red when he is in his demon form. In episode 7, you see Sesshomaru as a tall man, with amber eyes, and long silver hair. That is not his true form. That, is his human form. Demons can take human forms although they aren't human so they don't overwhelm or attract other demons to fight them. All demons have a true* form. Sesshomaru's being a giant white dog. That is why his eyes are not red when he's in "human form", because he's not actually in his true demon form.

Well I hope that answered your questions!! I'm looking forward to the next questions you give me because like I've said a lot I love answering these things!! There's no limit!! Feel free to keep asking!! PLEASE ASK! THANKS FOR READING!!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ AND REVIEW!!
