Hello, everyone. Lily here with my very first Inuyasha fanfiction. Ok, you may all cheer now.
*Mirai sweatdrops* Um.......Lily? You think maybe with all the good reviews you've been getting with your other DBZ, SM, and BOP fics that it may have.......gone to your head? Just a little, hun?
You traitor! And you're supposed to be my mate! I can't believe you'd turn on me like that!
*Mirai sweatdrops* I'm not. I'm just making an observation. Forget about it. Go on with your explaination. Sheesh. Onnas.
I HEARD THAT! *swings crockpot up until it connects with her mate's thick shull and he blacks out from the force of the hit* Anyway! Hmph! As I was saying, this is my first Inuyasha fic.
And for the legal crud, the ONLY thing I own are my mate, My Mystic clone, My Neil clone, My Gambit clone, my Kou clone, and my new pet, my Demi-Demon Doggie clone, or my Inuyasha clone.
Nothing more. And no, you can't have any of them!
Enjoy the story!

Chapter One- "Go Home"
by Lily
Tomorrow.
The word was so simple, yet it sent her head spinning and her heart thumping wildly against her ribcage.
It could all end tomorrow. For both sides.
Kagome sighed deeply as she looked around the make-shift camp at each of her closest friends. Sango, the fiery, spirited woman Kagome often thought of as a sister. Miroku, the sweet , yet often preverted monk that had his own reasons for wanting to see Naruku breathe his last breath. Shippou, the little orphaned kitsuna that meant as much as her brother Souta meant to her.
Her eyebrows knitted downwards as she looked at the demon resting in the dark corner of the little 'camp'.
Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha's older brother. His full-blooded, demon half-brother. The same brother that had wanted Inuyasha dead and to take control of their father's most treasured heirlomb, the Tetseiga. She had no doubt in her mind, Sesshoumaru still wanted his hanyou brother dead, but the matter at hand was more important to both brothers.
Defeating Naraku.
So Sesshoumaru had put his personal hatred of his brother and his human traveling campanions aside, and joined them.
Kagome sighed as her eyes landed on Inuyasha, sleeping against the nearby tree, only a few meters from where her own sleeping bag lay. A soft smile crept to her lips.
Gods, how she loved that baka half-demon. He was so pushy, and obstinate, and overconfident. But she loved him. And he loved her. Took him long enough to admit it too!
She still was new to the whole 'mate' thing, but if it meant that she was his and his alone, that she could tolerate being refered to as Inuyasha's 'mate' instead of his girlfriend. Must be the demon dog part of his blood.
But she loved him too much to care.
The important thing was they had each other, and always would. He had promised her that. It had been just the two of them, and he had made *absolutely* sure no one was around when he had told her, but he did.
She sighed deeply again as she closed her eyes briefly to gather her wondering thoughts.
It could all end tomorrow.
This. What she felt for her friends and her mate. Her Inuyasha.
If Naraku won, it could, and probably, would all end.
"Why are you not asleep, girl? Tomorrow's battle promises to be a long one, yet you sit there, awake and alert when you should be sleeping. Leave the nightwatch to myself and my brother." Sesshoumaru's voice suddenly said, making Kagome jump.
"I.....I didn't think anyone else was awake. I didn't wake you, did I?" Kagome whispered softly.
"No. I was already awake. I too, have important things to think through this night." Sesshoumaru said softly.
"The battle?" Kagome asked.
"Yes. Part of it. But that's not what worries me so. I have no fear of fighting Naraku." Sesshoumaru said.
"I see. But if it's not that, then what?" Kagome whispered and was shocked to see the demon look at her fully, and narrow his eyes slightly at her.
"You." Sesshoumaru said softly.
"Me?" Kagome asked stunned as Sesshoumaru rose to his feet, then looked over to his sleeping brother.
"I must speak with you. It is important we speak now, before the hanyou awakens." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome frowned at him, as she began to creep through her sleeping friends to catch up and walk with the demon.
"He has a name. You don't have to be so mean and cruel all the time. You *could* try using that for once, *instead* of calling him a half- breed." Kagome said, her voice rising slightly.
"I see. Then my suspicions are correct. You are his mate." Sesshoumaru said as he continued to walk. Kagome stopped in her tracks as Sesshoumaru paused and looked over his should at her, before she started walking again.
"How....how did you know that?" Kagome asked, her cheeks pinks.
"I caught the scent." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome looked at him confused.
"Hang on a second. Stop walking for a minute, will you? What do you mean you caught the scent? What scent?" Kagome asked, frowning at the demon again, but thankful that he had infact stopped walking.
"The scent you carry about yourself. You don't notice it yourself, being a mere human, but any being with demon blood can. And Naraku will." Sesshoumaru said.
"But I don't understand." Kagome said confused.
"I can't have you staying with us, Kagome. You must return to your home. To your time. It is too dangerous for you here." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome narrowed her eyes at him and glared evenly at the demon before her.
"You want me to go home? Now? When we're so close? No way in hell, Sesshoumaru! Look, I don't know what you're playing at-" Kagome began.
"I'm not. I don't 'play' at anything, human. I am merely stating the facts. If you accompany your mate and the rest of us, you will only be a hinderance to the battle. You may possess powers as a Miko, but they are underdeveloped, and aren't nearly powerful enough to stand up to Naraku. You wouldn't even be able to defend yourself against him. And I can't have my dear hanyou brother only fighting Naraku with half his attention." Sesshoumaru said.
"But, I can't. I can't just leave him. He may need me." Kagome said, her face filled with sadness as she looked down at her feet.
She knew Sesshoumaru had a very valid point, but she loved Inuyasha. She owed it to him to be there for him.
"Maybe. But your pups need you more right now." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome's head shot up in confusion.
"What?" Kagome asked as Sesshoumaru looked down at her abdomen.
"I said your pups will need you more. Especially since with or without their demon blood, they are without protection against Naraku." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome grabbed onto a nearby tree to steady herself.
"I can't be-" Kagome began. She was only 17. True she was well past the acceptable age to marry in Japan, but.......pregnant. Impossible.
"You can, and you are. And if I can smell them, then one look at you and Naruku could do the same tomorrow. You see now? How dangerous it truely is for you to remain here? You must return to your time, at least until Naraku is destroyed. Once that day comes, you will be free to live with your mate and pups without threat from Naruku." Sesshoumaru said.
"You said pups. You mean.....more than one?" Kagome asked, her face still pale.
"Two. No more. I know not the gender, but I know there are two. Take them to your time, and keep them safe there." Sesshoumaru said.
"I can't. If what you say is true.....then.....then Inuyasha has a right to see them grow up. To at least know about them." Kagome said as Sesshoumaru shook his head.
"No. It's a wonder he hasn't figured it out himself as of yet. But it will be more dangerous if he knew. It would still distract him from the upcoming battle." Sesshoumaru said.
"Then-?" Kagome asked.
"I take you to the well, and I return to explain to your mate when he awakes in the morning. I will make him understand it is for the best. If he cares for you as much as you do him, then he will let you go. When Naraku is defeated, one of us will come for you. But until we do, you *must* stay in your time. Do you understand?" Sesshoumaru asked as Kagome weakly nodded.
"Good. Hurry then. We're wasting time." Sesshoumaru said, turning and starting to walk again as the dumbfounded Kagome started following him.
"But.....what about.....Inuyasha?" Kagome asked fearfully.
"I shall not let him be killed, if that's what you mean. I want the honor of that myself. You have my word, that as long as Naraku lives, so shall my hanyou brother, and your mate." Sesshoumaru said.
"I don't get it. Why are you doing this? If you hate Inuyasha so?" Kagome asked.
"My fight is with him, it's true. But not with his mate and pups." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome smiled to herself.
"You're not at bad as you make yourself out to be, Sesshoumaru . If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were worried about your unborn neices or nephews." Kagome said.
"You don't." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome grew silent again.
"But.....I do share a bit of concern for the pups. A bit, nothing more." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome smiled to herself.
Within minutes, the two stood before the Bone-Eaters Well as Kagome looked down into the dark depths, before looking up at her companion.
"I know it's a lot to ask, but please, tell him I love him and I'll miss him. Please?" Kagome asked as Sesshoumaru nodded his head curtly.
"It shall be done. Go now."
With a final nod, Kagome jumped into the well.
I'll return one day, Inuyasha. I promise.
