Hi! I am making a sequel..... but really it's more chappies... so enjoy! I'm not gonna say what happens, but the phrase 'holy shit!' is used, so beware... *evil laugh*

*************Chapter 17: Chapter 17 (I'm not giving anythin away)

When Kagome came to, her vision was blurred, but there was something familiar about the fuzzy image before her. She groaned and rubbed her eyes.

"Inu-yasha? Where am I?" She noticed that the background to her un focused picture was a mahogany brown.

"You're in Keade's hut, baka."

Kagome sat up, the happenings of when she was among the living slowly formed themselves in her already delusional head. She remembered the forceful kiss that Kouga had put upon her, she remembered the completion of the jewel... and she remembered a voice yelling her name.

"What happened!? Where's the Shikon no Tama?!" She was panicky and had to be restrained by Inu-chan.

"Calm down, it's right here." He withdrew the small sphere from inside his haori. She sighed and laid back down, he still had it, and now they could determine their lives together. Hmmmm she liked the sound of that...

"Inu-chan," He blushed. "what are we going to do with the jewel?"

"It's your decision..." He blushed deeper. He knew what he wanted; just to be with her for as long as life would take them, that's all.

Kagome sat in deep thought... She loved his ears, they'd have to stay, so Inu would stay the same.... but I want to live as long as him... immortality? No. Forever is too long and I don't want to die by decapitation...

"Inu-yasha.... what determines a demon's life span?"

"Blood heritage."

"Could I ask for hanyou blood?"

"You could...."

"And maybe I could ask for a human appearance.... I don't want to stick out in my worl-" But she stopped at the pained expression on Inu-yasha's face.

"What is it?" She sat up again and leaned toward him, peering into his amber eyes.

"You'd leave me?"

She started.

"Why in the WORLD would I go through all this trouble to live a long life with you, just to leave?!" She immediately flushed at what she had just said.

"Then why can't you just become hanyou like me?"

"I-I want us to live... t-to live in my time." She stuttered nervously, avoiding his gaze.

"You wouldn't stick out that much…. And all of my friends would think you were the hottest guy in town…" Her face was now a deep maroon.

Inu-yasha cleared his throat and stared pointedly at the door, his own face now red enough to match Kagome's. Miroku had just pulled back the flap-of-a-door of Keade's hut and strolled in, followed by Sango, Shippo and Kohaku. He had obviously heard the last couple lines of their conversation before her interrupted, and was grinning ear to ear.

"It's about time you two got together..." Kagome glared holes in his head before turning to Sango and beckoning her to the far corner of the room.

"So?! Are you and Miroku gonna go, or do I have to duck-tape you together?!"

Blank look.

"What's 'duck tape'?"

'Oh Kami...'

"Never mind, just answer the question."

Sango blushed, not much had happened between her and Miroku since that night in the closet.... and that ended in Miroku grabbing himself and toppling onto the floor, whimpering.

"I-I don't know..."

Kagome fell over, twitched and got back up.

"What do you MEAN you DON'T KNOW!?!"

Sango cowered into the corner.

"YOU LOVE HIM, RIGHT!? Isn't that enou-" but she stopped, many people in the hut were staring, and to her embarrassment, one of those people was a sick patient, and used to be in a deep, feverish sleep.

"Gomen..." She clapped her hands in front of her face and bowed at the waist. Sango stalked back to the fire in the center of the room, her eyes diverted from any of the people inhabiting the small hut at the moment. She knelt and began cleaning her boomerang bone for the second time that day.

******An hour later******

"So that is what I'm doing with the Shikon no Tama... any complaints?"

Silence.

"Okay, so kaede, how does this ritual thing work?"

The group of six sat around the small fire in the middle of Keade's hut. An assortment of tools and small stones with other magical items was placed in front of it.

"Ye just put your hand here when I tell thee to. You then say what you want to happen, the Shikon jewel will disappear and the wish will be granted."

"That seems easy enough."

Keade nodded and chanted slowly, moving certain objects certain places and withdrawing the shikon no tama from her robe. She placed it inside a small red triangle traced on the floor.

"Now."

Kagome placed her hand over the jewel and triangle and closed her eyes, thinking over and over what she wanted done.

'I want Inu-hanyou blood, with my appearance now.'

She felt the absence of the jewel beneath her fingers and something warm was spreading from her hand through her body.

'This must be the hanyou blood...' And all went black.

"Kagome......" A strong hand was shaking her roughly, his voice echoing in her head. Again, the voice repeated.... "Kagome....."

She opened her eyes slowly, again her vision was blurred horribly. Gods her head hurt, it was pounding as if someone was hitting her with a sledge hammer every couple seconds.

"Oooooow...." She groaned, rubbing her eyes, and sitting up. She only got a face full of Inu-yasha, which wasn't all that bad, but embarrassing. She had sat up and their faces collided, which didn't help her headache much.

"Kagome, it worked!" She sat up again, this time Inu-yasha was ready and he pulled her into his lap.

"It worked? Really? Do I look the same?"

"Erm.... Mostly."

"WHAT?!"

"Your eyes.... they're... they've got slanted pupils."

"Holy Shit!"

"It looks fine, though.... I think you look..." 'more like my mate' he blushed at his impulsive thought. She wouldn't be ready for that in a looooong time.

"You think I look...."

"Great."

"Really?" She beamed up at him, and slowly brought herself to a sit. Her head didn't hurt all that bad, and she could feel the strength running through her veins. So this is what Inu-yasha felt like, it was truly amazing.

****************End of Chapter 17

yay! I did it! I really think this could go on longer with the whole school thing.... I think it would be great. I can just see Kagome now.

"They're contacts!"

And she'd have to explain Inu being a hanyou and all. I can't wait to put Inu and Hojo in the same classes.... heheh..... *POW* Die!!!! *Smash* READ AND REVIEW!! or just read.... or just review.... your choice.....

Ja Ne!!!
