Inuyasha sighed crossing his arms across his chest while he lay on the floor sleeping.
'What am I going to do? Kikyo or Kagome... Kikyo or Kagome..Kikyo or..' He trailed off when he heard Sota roll over. Half his blanket was falling off the bed; Inuyasha got up and took the blanket and placed it over the little boy; who apparently was sound asleep.
Inuyasha shook his head and Sota was smiling in his sleep. 'At least someone's having sweet dreams tonight', he thought.
*Flashback*
"The girl will betray you. She does not* love you."
' Kagome won't betray me.. She's not like that...I- I trust her. ' He thought.
"She merely stays in this world to collect the jewel shards out of guilt. Could she really love a half-demon? Like me?" She asked, smiling at Inuyasha.
*End Flashback*
Inuyasha sighed and tried to get some sleep. After a few minutes sleep claimed him; and he put his stresses to rest.
***************************************************************
Kagome sighed, got up and changed quickly. "I hate school." She mumbled; hating the fact she had to wake up so early every single day they had school. (A/N Heheheh. I hate waking up all early in the morning too. ^__^)
Kagome brushed her teeth, then combed her hair and ran downstairs. "Bye Mom!! I'm going now!!" She grabbed her backpack and left for school.
She walked slowly down the street trying to attempt smiles at people who passed her. Just her luck, Hojo came running up to her.
"Hello Kagome!"
"Oh, hello Hojo." She said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible still walking towards the school.
"Hey do you wanna go to the movies sometime? I'll bring some medicine for your arthritis!" He said still believing everything Kagome's grandfather told her.
"Uhm....I'll think about it." She said.
'I don't know. Will Inuyasha mind? I doubt it. He likes Kikyo' She reminded herself.
"Well tell me by the end of today okay? Do you mind if I walk home with you later today? It's on the way to my house anyway."
"Uh..Sure!" She said, faking a smile. 'Arg, why do these things always happen to me?' She thought angrily.
"Let's get going to school. Hey Kagome, you're walking hey I could give you a ride on my bike!"
" Err....That's okay. "
"You sure? I don't think it's good for someone with arthritis to walk around a lot."
"Eheheheh.....uh..exercise helps." She said.
*******************************************************
"She left, already?" Inuyasha asked a bit miffed that Kagome left without telling him. Well, then again, she always did things without telling him.
"Yup." Sota replied. "Today's her last day; tomorrow Spring break starts!"
"Don't you have to go to school?"
"I told you, my school already started break." He said happily.
"Oh right..right..."
"Hey Inuyasha, you like my sister right?"
"Uh...as a friend or... Why the sudden question?"
"I dunno. I just....well I can tell she likes you but you know, if you don't like her....I don't want her to get all broken hearted and all." He started; eating his pancakes.
Sota shrugged. "Stupid question I guess. You wanna go outside and play?"
******************************************************
"Time for P.E. Class!" Ayumi, one of Kagome's friends hollered.
"Oh great....P.E." Kagome said grimly. "I'm in the same class as Hojo." She whispered.
"What about Hojo?" Sheri asked elbowing Kagome.
"Nothing."
"What, you like him or something?"
"No."
"Yea you do."
"No I don't."
"Yea you do."
"Sheri I DON'T."
All of them looked at Kagome oddly. "Well, looks like someone's not in too much of a good mood today." They said, watching Kagome walk out.
"I bet she likes someone else, but he doesn't like her back!" Ayumi said playfully; obviously joking.
"I hate school. Why do I always get paired up with him? Why do I always get in the same classes as him? Why---------"
"Hey Kagome!" Hojo said happily, running up to her; while all the other girls gave Kagome jealous looks.
Kagome sighed. 'You can have him girls. If I had the guts to turn him down. If only I didn't have a conscience.' She thought.
"Hey Hojo!! How's everything?"
"Great! You? You're back okay? You strong enough to go to P.E. Class?"
"Uh.. .yea, I'm just great."
"Okay well if you want me to help just call me!!" Hojo said running towards one of his friends.
The girls still glared at Kagome and she sighed yet again.
*****************************************************************
"I HATE THIS." Sango said angrily walking on the barren path. Miroku and Shippo followed close to her. She wasn't having a very good day.
"FIRST, I GO TO THE VILLAGE TO GET SUPPLIES AND I NOTICE I HAVE NO MONEY. THEN, I WORK* FOR SOME MONEY TO GET A BITE TO EAT AND WHEN I GET TO THE PLACE I REALIZE SOMEONE STOLE MY MONEY. AND THEN------"
"Uh... Sango?" Shippo asked timidly.
"WHAT?!" She asked angrily. Shippo hid in his little jacket and looked up with pure fear in his eyes. He hated it when she got in her moods.
"I can transform some food for you, but I doubt it'll work. If it does I don't think it'll taste so good." He said afraid of her. Truth was, he never did that before, and he didn't even know if he could. He just wanted to help her out.
Sango sighed, knowing that the little fox was merely trying to help her. "Thanks Shippo. It's alright. I'll be fine."
"You sure?" He said with a squeak in his voice.
She laughed. "Yeah....Sorry, I just had a bad night yesterday."
"What happened?" Miroku asked.
"Nightmare.....Guess I'm pretty scary when I'm angry huh?"
Shippo nodded vigorously.
"What nightmare?" Miroku asked not paying attention half her answer.
"Nothing, it's not important."
"You know, I never really saw you all worked up over nothing. That must have been some dream." He said. "Shippo, would you mind going ahead? I'd like to talk to Sango for a bit. Be careful okay? If you get into any trouble, yell for help."
Shippo smiled and nodded. "Okay! But I can handle anything!" He said cocking his head proudly towards the sky, than running down the road as fast as his little feet would take him.
"What was the dream about?"
"Miroku, I really don't wanna talk about it."
"You'll never get any better if you don't talk about it ; it will surely get worse."
Sango ignored him and walked on. Miroku, however, wasn't giving up that easily. He grabbed her arm abruptly and stopped her.
"My question is a simple one. I'm sure you're perfectly capable of answering." He said.
"No."
"It's not just about this dream you claim to talk about, Sango. You've been acting less happy this whole week."
"Gosh, when is Kagome coming back?" Sango muttered, knowing that if Kagome were here, she'd help her out of the tangle.
"Not for a very* long time. Now answer."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"It's either about your family or Kohaku or Naraku." He said simply. "The question is...what about them? Guilt, anger, vulnerability..?"
"Stay out of it."
"I won't."
"I'm asking* you to stay out of my business."
"Sango, you're worrying me."
"Those are my problems."
"Just answer."
"EVERYTHING."
"What?"
"Everything you said. That's how I feel. There. Happy?"
"Sango you need to stop beating yourself up for those kind of things you need to move on."
"What do you know?"
"I know a lot. My family has been cursed and soon will be wiped out by this curse and forgotten throughout all time. How do you think I feel? You're not the only one suffering."
Sango sighed feeling guilty all of a sudden. "I'm sorry Miroku. I know. I just, get caught up in my feelings sometimes."
"That's alright. Now will you tell me what's going on?"
"I already did. It's just I can't cope with the fact that everyone I ever had was gone.....in a matter of just one day."
"Things happen that we can't change. And they happen for a reason."
"A reason? What reason could that possibly be?"
"I don't know. But when you stop to think about it, if it hadn't been for Naraku..Inuyasha would have never met Kagome. He would have been with Kikyo. Now to think of it, I feel....we feel that Kikyo and Inuyasha were just not meant to be. Inuyasha would not have met Kagome. At all. He never would have been able to get the Tetsuaiga, if Kikyo had never bound him to the tree and Kagome freed him to have Sesshomaru come after them."
(A/N It's true! Think about it! Inuyasha and Kagome would have never met, he wouldn't have had his sword, if not for Naraku's interference. That's why...well, I'm not sure whether I want to kill Naraku for killing all those people or thanking him for Inuyasha and Kagome meeting.^_^.)
He looked up at Sango and smiled a bit. Continuing he said,
"Okay, maybe there are setbacks. If Naraku never existed, we would still have our families.....But like I said. Inuyasha would have never met Kagome...I.....you* wouldn't meet Kagome who I might add is your best friend. Inuyasha, mine...more importantly.....the two of us...WE never would have met."
(A/N Or whether I should thank Naraku for Sango and Miroku's meeting. ^_^)
"I..." It was true. They would have never met if not for Naraku. They'd probably be off working in the fields or slaying demons, or just hanging around. And well, there was a very slim chance that they would be able to meet again.
"Now, I know you probably wouldn't care if we didn't meet, but I it means a lot to me."
"No it means a lot to me too. Thanks. You're right. We never would have met, we never would have met our friends either...."
Miroku smiled and put his arm around her. Sango smiled happily savoring the moment. But just then....Miroku's arm trailed lower...and lower...and lower...
*whack*
Miroku looked at Sango and moved away a bit.
She just smiled looked at him. "Don't touch me there." She said happily. Miroku sighed happily. She was back to normal.
****************************************************************
Kagome ran down the road trying to make sure Hojo didn't see her. She ran to her house and locked the door.
"Hello Kagome." Inuyasha said walking up behind her. "Why are you locking the door?"
"Oh....just people problems." She said looking out the eye hole.
"No one's trying to hurt you.....are they?" Inuyasha asked, clenching his fists.
"Nope. Just stalking."
"Stalking?"
"Yea, Hojo keeps bothering me. But forget about it." She said walking away from the door.
"Bugging you how?" He asked getting a bit protective.
"Not in anything bad."
"You sure?"
"Yes." Kagome said running to her room.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"In my room."
"Kagome, are you mad at me or something?"
"Nope!" She yelled abruptly. 'No not mad, frustrated. This Kikyo thing is really starting to bug me.' She thought.
"Kagome, I just wanted to tell you this, no matter what you think; I....."
"Nope don't say it. Listen. We'll always be friends. No matter if you choose Kikyo or me or some other person." She said closing her door.
"Kagome, just hear me out will you?" He said angrily.
"I don't need to hear anything."
"Open the door before I rip it down."
"You'll have to pay for it. Either way, I'm not letting you in. I told you we're friends no matter what."
"What if I don't want to be just friends?" Inuyasha asked pushing at the door.
Kagome went silent.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean------"
"You mean that you're not just friends with Kikyo she means more to you. Sorry, I guess I forgot."
"Will you stop finishing my sentences for me woman?! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT TO SAY!" He said angrily.
"Hmmmph!"
"Look." He said trying to regain control, "I was talking about you. Not Kikyo."
"Whatever. She means to world to you."
"WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO DO ABOUT KIKYO?! KIKYO THIS KIKYO THAT. SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US!" He yelled outside the door.
"Inuyasha...just let it go for now? We can talk about this later. I--- I don't wanna talk about it right now.."
Inuyasha sighed; exasperated.
"Fine. Have it your way." He said angrily walking down the stairs.
"Uhm....what just happened?" Sota asked emerging from his room.
***********************************************************
END OF CHAPTER 19!! I'LL HAVE 20 UP SOON!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE TO REVIEW AND READ!! THANKS!! And here are the answers to questions.and comments! :D
To: Inuyasha94:
Q: Was Miroku an only child or did Naraku kill his whole family? Why isn't Kagome father mentioned in the anime?
A: Yes, Miroku is an only child. At least from all I've read and heard he is. Naraku only cursed his grandfather with the kazaana therefore passing it on in the family; he never kills or wants to kill all of Miroku's family because he wants Miroku's family to be wiped out by itself. He wants them to suffer even more. You see, if Miroku's family is just killed by him, there's less trouble, no time for grieving or anything. But if Miroku has a curse and it's up to him to lift it, or to raise a son, everything is on him; making things much more interesting for Naraku and much harder and torturous on Miroku; having no son to continue the family line or having to lift the curse.
A: (to the Kagome question) Well, they don't mention Kagome's father because, from what I've heard and read, her father is dead. He did when she was at a very* young age.
Well I hope I answered your questions!! Thanks so much for reading!! Please continue to review and feel free to ask more questions because I love them!!
To: DreamoftheHeart (and Kikyo posters)
Q: (No Question, just have comments)
A: I still agree with everything you say about Kikyo.and about Naraku!! @_@ Heheh, we have a lot in common in that area!! Please continue to review and post those reasons!! Thanks so much for reading! And remember please review!! And thanks for all the compliments!! I really* appreciate it!
To: Sesshomaru Fluff
Q: (None, just comments)
A: Thanks! I really really* appreciate it! Thanks for reading and please continue to review!
To: Deanna/Angel
Q: Do you know Sesshomaru/Inuyasha's father's name? And do you know anything about Inuyasha and Kagome's child in the future?
A: Inuyasha/Sesshomaru's father's name is Inutaishou according to many things I've seen and read.
A: (about Inu/Kag's child) Well, as of now, the show/manga haven't said anything about Inuyasha and Kagome's future child. Most sites that say that are usually fan sites that really love that couple. I really* love that couple and I hope they do have a child in the future, but in reality, they don't. In the manga/show Inuyasha has still not been able to choose between Kikyo and Kagome. In my case I'd just pick Kagome over Kikyo!! Unfortunately, Inuyasha, for some* unknown reason still feels attached to Kikyo and is unsure of whether or not he should choose her or Kagome. And since he hasn't chosen yet, no predications or information have been given about Inu/Kag future child. Except for some sites that make up a name for their future child but that's all fiction ^__^. Hopefully it does happen soon right Inu/Kag supporters?
Well hope I answered your questions!! Thanks so much for reading my story and please continue to read and review! And don't hesitate to ask any more questions because I love answering them! :D
To: Ai
Q: Does Inuyasha always say 'My Kikyo' and all that stuff? Will he always be stupid around his ex-girlfriend?
A: Inuyasha does not say 'My Kikyo'. Although in many episodes that you've seen and that are coming, Inuyasha is still very protective of her. He says things like "Don't you touch her, not now not ever!" But I've realized that he never* really said that Kikyo was his. He does not* say anything like "Don't you touch my* Kikyo not now not ever" saying that Kikyo is his. He is pretty stupid when it comes to Kikyo though. ^___^ What I mean is that his guilt over her death is clouding his judgment. He can't accept the fact that this isn't the Kikyo he knew 50 years ago. He still insists on saving her and protecting her...even though she's trying to kill him or bring him to hell with her. (Not to mention she is also trying to kill Kagome)
Well I hope I answered your question!!! It wasn't too confusing I hope...If it was, you can just review me back and I'll cut it down a bit. Keep asking if you have any questions because I love answering them! How was the San/Mir fluff? I hope its okay.. ^___^
Thanks SO much for reviewing my story; please continue to read and review!!
In my opinion if Kikyo really loved Inuyasha, why does she want him to go to hell? And if they really did love each other....how was their trust so easily corrupted by Naraku?
To: LitWolf689
Q: Why does Naraku wear a baboon/skin fur? Is Kagome as stubborn in the anime as she is in your story?
A: Naraku wears a baboon/skin fur because he wants to hide his true face/form. The skin is used to conceal his looks so that if any demon/human was after him, they wouldn't know how he looked like. Example, if he killed someone's family and then someone from that family is seeking revenge from him; well, that person doesn't know who to find, he doesn't know what the face looks like, all he knows is that he wears a baboon/skin fur, and Naraku could easily switch to something else without the person knowing it. Why does he choose a baboon/skin fur or why does he like wearing it? Other than the reason above, there is no other reason. ^__^
A: (to Kagome question) Believe it or not, Kagome is very* stubborn in the anime. Just like my story even... ^__^ But, she always trusts in Inuyasha and in the end she always believes in him. When it comes to Kikyo, she gets a mix of anger/jealousy/hatred and she gets pretty stubborn. Like in the manga/episode "Kagome's Voice and Kikyo's Kiss" she is very* angry with Inuyasha. In case you haven't seen this episode, I'll explain it a bit. Kikyo had Kagome in confinement, and cast a spell on her so no one could see or hear her and then she ties her to a tree. Where is Inuyasha? He's looking for Kikyo; to "talk" to her. Well when Inuyasha arrives, he says something like "Kikyo I haven't stopped thinking about you, not even for an instant!." I think you can guess how bad Kagome felt at that moment. And then Kikyo *wince* leans up and kisses him. In the manga Kagome says "What the?! She's supposed to kill* him not kiss him!!"
And then Kikyo seduces Inuyasha into going to hell with her; Inuyasha is unconscious while she drags him in. Kagome keeps yelling though and finally Inuyasha can hear her. Thinking Kagome was hurt, he rushed to her side and helped her forgetting about Kikyo. Kikyo leaves saying "Does that girl mean more to you than I do?" Oh if you're an Inu/Kag fan you'll love this.... after that question Inuyasha doesn't say anything; he just looks at Kagome and blushes.. *aww* ^__^ Uhm...anyway later in that episode Kagome is really angry with Inuyasha and sits him a couple times.
She even asked him "Am I just a replacement for Kikyo?" And Inuyasha says "You idiot, haven't I told you over or over again that you're not?!" It's so cute for Inu/Kag supporters! And he keeps thinking that her scent is soft. In the end he says "I like when I'm with you somehow, I feel calmer." They make such a good couple!! Uhm, anyway she fell asleep right when he told her so.... -_-''''
Oh and if anyone doesn't believe he says this stuff in the end it's in Rumiko Takahashi's Manga (Translated to English) Volume 8 Scroll 10 "A Gentle Scent". :D
*looks up* that was a little long for an answer, huh? Oops..I guess I got carried away.Sorry about that. :DDD
I hope I answered your question!! Thanks you SO much for reviewing my story; please continue to read and review!! And please feel free to ask anymore questions!! I love em'!
To: Kikyo posters, Animefreak, Admiral Biatch and everyone else who posted: From: I agree with everything....still!! Keep posting!!

" Err....That's okay. "
"You sure? I don't think it's good for someone with arthritis to walk around a lot."
"Eheheheh.....uh..exercise helps." She said.
*******************************************************
"She left, already?" Inuyasha asked a bit miffed that Kagome left without telling him. Well, then again, she always did things without telling him.
"Yup." Sota replied. "Today's her last day; tomorrow Spring break starts!"
"Don't you have to go to school?"

"Hey Inuyasha, you like my sister right?"
"Uh...as a friend or... Why the sudden question?"

"Okay well if you want me to help just call me!!" Hojo said running towards one of his friends.
The girls still glared at Kagome and she sighed yet again.
*****************************************************************
"I HATE THIS." Sango said angrily walking on the barren path. Miroku and Shippo followed close to her. She wasn't having a very good day.
"FIRST, I GO TO THE VILLAGE TO GET SUPPLIES AND I NOTICE I HAVE NO MONEY. THEN, I WORK* FOR SOME MONEY TO GET A BITE TO EAT AND WHEN I GET TO THE PLACE I REALIZE SOMEONE STOLE MY MONEY. AND THEN------"
"Uh... Sango?" Shippo asked timidly.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Stay out of it."
"I won't."
"I'm asking* you to stay out of my business."
"Sango, you're worrying me."
"Those are my problems."
"Just answer."
"EVERYTHING."
"What?"
"Everything you said. That's how I feel. There. Happy?"
"Sango you need to stop beating yourself up for those kind of things you need to move on."
"What do you know?"
"I know a lot. My family has been cursed and soon will be wiped out by this curse and forgotten throughout all time. How do you think I feel? You're not the only one suffering."
Sango sighed feeling guilty all of a sudden. "I'm sorry Miroku. I know. I just, get caught up in my feelings sometimes."
"That's alright. Now will you tell me what's going on?"
"I already did. It's just I can't cope with the fact that everyone I ever had was gone.....in a matter of just one day."
"Things happen that we can't change. And they happen for a reason."
"A reason? What reason could that possibly be?"
"I don't know. But when you stop to think about it, if it hadn't been for Naraku..Inuyasha would have never met Kagome. He would have been with Kikyo.

"Okay, maybe there are setbacks. If Naraku never existed, we would still have our families.....But like I said. Inuyasha would have never met Kagome...I.....you* wouldn't meet Kagome who I might add is your best friend. Inuyasha, mine...more importantly.....the two of us...WE never would have met."
(A/N Or whether I should thank Naraku for Sango and Miroku's meeting. ^_^)
"I..." It was true. They would have never met if not for Naraku. They'd probably be off working in the fields or slaying demons, or just hanging around. And well, there was a very slim chance that they would be able to meet again.
"Now, I know you probably wouldn't care if we didn't meet, but I it means a lot to me."
"No it means a lot to me too. Thanks. You're right. We never would have met, we never would have met our friends either...."
Miroku smiled and put his arm around her. Sango smiled happily savoring the moment. But just then....Miroku's arm trailed lower...and lower...and lower...
*whack*
Miroku looked at Sango and moved away a bit.
She just smiled looked at him. "Don't touch me there." She said happily. Miroku sighed happily. She was back to normal.
****************************************************************
Kagome ran down the road trying to make sure Hojo didn't see her. She ran to her house and locked the door.
"Hello Kagome." Inuyasha said walking up behind her. "Why are you locking the door?"
"Oh....just people problems." She said looking out the eye hole.
"No one's trying to hurt you.....are they?" Inuyasha asked, clenching his fists.
"Nope. Just stalking."
"Stalking?"
"Yea, Hojo keeps bothering me. But forget about it." She said walking away from the door.
"Bugging you how?" He asked getting a bit protective.
"Not in anything bad."
"You sure?"
"Yes." Kagome said running to her room.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"In my room."
"Kagome, are you mad at me or something?"
"Nope!" She yelled abruptly. 'No not mad, frustrated. This Kikyo thing is really starting to bug me.' She thought.
"Kagome, I just wanted to tell you this, no matter what you think; I....."
"Nope don't say it. Listen. We'll always be friends. No matter if you choose Kikyo or me or some other person." She said closing her door.
"Kagome, just hear me out will you?" He said angrily.
"I don't need to hear anything."
"Open the door before I rip it down."
"You'll have to pay for it. Either way, I'm not letting you in. I told you we're friends no matter what."
"What if I don't want to be just friends?" Inuyasha asked pushing at the door.
Kagome went silent.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean------"
"You mean that you're not just friends with Kikyo she means more to you. Sorry, I guess I forgot."
"Will you stop finishing my sentences for me woman?! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT TO SAY!" He said angrily.
"Hmmmph!"
"Look." He said trying to regain control, "I was talking about you. Not Kikyo."
"Whatever. She means to world to you."
"WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO DO ABOUT KIKYO?! KIKYO THIS KIKYO THAT. SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US!" He yelled outside the door.
"Inuyasha...just let it go for now? We can talk about this later. I--- I don't wanna talk about it right now.."
Inuyasha sighed; exasperated.
"Fine. Have it your way." He said angrily walking down the stairs.
"Uhm....what just happened?" Sota asked emerging from his room.

END OF CHAPTER 19!! I'LL HAVE 20 UP SOON!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE TO REVIEW AND READ!! THANKS!! And here are the answers to questions.and comments! :D
To: Inuyasha94:
Q: Was Miroku an only child or did Naraku kill his whole family? Why isn't Kagome father mentioned in the anime?
A: Yes, Miroku is an only child. At least from all I've read and heard he is. Naraku only cursed his grandfather with the kazaana therefore passing it on in the family; he never kills or wants to kill all of Miroku's family because he wants Miroku's family to be wiped out by itself. He wants them to suffer even more. You see, if Miroku's family is just killed by him, there's less trouble, no time for grieving or anything. But if Miroku has a curse and it's up to him to lift it, or to raise a son, everything is on him; making things much more interesting for Naraku and much harder and torturous on Miroku; having no son to continue the family line or having to lift the curse.
A: (to the Kagome question) Well, they don't mention Kagome's father because, from what I've heard and read, her father is dead. He did when she was at a very* young age.
Well I hope I answered your questions!! Thanks so much for reading!! Please continue to review and feel free to ask more questions because I love them!!
To: DreamoftheHeart (and Kikyo posters)
Q: (No Question, just have comments)
A: I still agree with everything you say about Kikyo.and about Naraku!! @_@ Heheh, we have a lot in common in that area!! Please continue to review and post those reasons!! Thanks so much for reading! And remember please review!! And thanks for all the compliments!! I really* appreciate it!
To: Sesshomaru Fluff
Q: (None, just comments)
A: Thanks! I really really* appreciate it! Thanks for reading and please continue to review!
To: Deanna/Angel
Q: Do you know Sesshomaru/Inuyasha's father's name? And do you know anything about Inuyasha and Kagome's child in the future?
A: Inuyasha/Sesshomaru's father's name is Inutaishou according to many things I've seen and read.
A: (about Inu/Kag's child) Well, as of now, the show/manga haven't said anything about Inuyasha and Kagome's future child. Most sites that say that are usually fan sites that really love that couple. I really* love that couple and I hope they do have a child in the future, but in reality, they don't. In the manga/show Inuyasha has still not been able to choose between Kikyo and Kagome. In my case I'd just pick Kagome over Kikyo!! Unfortunately, Inuyasha, for some* unknown reason still feels attached to Kikyo and is unsure of whether or not he should choose her or Kagome. And since he hasn't chosen yet, no predications or information have been given about Inu/Kag future child. Except for some sites that make up a name for their future child but that's all fiction ^__^. Hopefully it does happen soon right Inu/Kag supporters?
Well hope I answered your questions!! Thanks so much for reading my story and please continue to read and review! And don't hesitate to ask any more questions because I love answering them! :D
To: Ai
Q: Does Inuyasha always say 'My Kikyo' and all that stuff? Will he always be stupid around his ex-girlfriend?
A: Inuyasha does not say 'My Kikyo'. Although in many episodes that you've seen and that are coming, Inuyasha is still very protective of her. He says things like "Don't you touch her, not now not ever!" But I've realized that he never* really said that Kikyo was his. He does not* say anything like "Don't you touch my* Kikyo not now not ever" saying that Kikyo is his. He is pretty stupid when it comes to Kikyo though. ^___^ What I mean is that his guilt over her death is clouding his judgment. He can't accept the fact that this isn't the Kikyo he knew 50 years ago. He still insists on saving her and protecting her...even though she's trying to kill him or bring him to hell with her. (Not to mention she is also trying to kill Kagome)
Well I hope I answered your question!!! It wasn't too confusing I hope...If it was, you can just review me back and I'll cut it down a bit. Keep asking if you have any questions because I love answering them! How was the San/Mir fluff? I hope its okay.. ^___^
Thanks SO much for reviewing my story; please continue to read and review!!
In my opinion if Kikyo really loved Inuyasha, why does she want him to go to hell? And if they really did love each other....how was their trust so easily corrupted by Naraku?
To: LitWolf689
Q: Why does Naraku wear a baboon/skin fur? Is Kagome as stubborn in the anime as she is in your story?
A: Naraku wears a baboon/skin fur because he wants to hide his true face/form. The skin is used to conceal his looks so that if any demon/human was after him, they wouldn't know how he looked like. Example, if he killed someone's family and then someone from that family is seeking revenge from him; well, that person doesn't know who to find, he doesn't know what the face looks like, all he knows is that he wears a baboon/skin fur, and Naraku could easily switch to something else without the person knowing it. Why does he choose a baboon/skin fur or why does he like wearing it? Other than the reason above, there is no other reason. ^__^
A: (to Kagome question) Believe it or not, Kagome is very* stubborn in the anime. Just like my story even... ^__^ But, she always trusts in Inuyasha and in the end she always believes in him. When it comes to Kikyo, she gets a mix of anger/jealousy/hatred and she gets pretty stubborn. Like in the manga/episode "Kagome's Voice and Kikyo's Kiss" she is very* angry with Inuyasha. In case you haven't seen this episode, I'll explain it a bit. Kikyo had Kagome in confinement, and cast a spell on her so no one could see or hear her and then she ties her to a tree. Where is Inuyasha? He's looking for Kikyo; to "talk" to her. Well when Inuyasha arrives, he says something like "Kikyo I haven't stopped thinking about you, not even for an instant!." I think you can guess how bad Kagome felt at that moment. And then Kikyo *wince* leans up and kisses him. In the manga Kagome says "What the?! She's supposed to kill* him not kiss him!!"
And then Kikyo seduces Inuyasha into going to hell with her; Inuyasha is unconscious while she drags him in. Kagome keeps yelling though and finally Inuyasha can hear her. Thinking Kagome was hurt, he rushed to her side and helped her forgetting about Kikyo. Kikyo leaves saying "Does that girl mean more to you than I do?" Oh if you're an Inu/Kag fan you'll love this.... after that question Inuyasha doesn't say anything; he just looks at Kagome and blushes.. *aww* ^__^ Uhm...anyway later in that episode Kagome is really angry with Inuyasha and sits him a couple times.
She even asked him "Am I just a replacement for Kikyo?" And Inuyasha says "You idiot, haven't I told you over or over again that you're not?!" It's so cute for Inu/Kag supporters! And he keeps thinking that her scent is soft. In the end he says "I like when I'm with you somehow, I feel calmer." They make such a good couple!! Uhm, anyway she fell asleep right when he told her so.... -_-''''
Oh and if anyone doesn't believe he says this stuff in the end it's in Rumiko Takahashi's Manga (Translated to English) Volume 8 Scroll 10 "A Gentle Scent". :D
*looks up* that was a little long for an answer, huh? Oops..I guess I got carried away.Sorry about that. :DDD
I hope I answered your question!! Thanks you SO much for reviewing my story; please continue to read and review!! And please feel free to ask anymore questions!! I love em'!
