Shout outs:

Babytil14: Thanks for reviewing from the beginning, and I can see you are very curious, don't worry, I will not stop until the very end.

Lil Shamen Girl: Don't be so confused, it's that mysterious guy that's walking around, Yusuke being the son of Inu and Kagome would be awkward, but that's a good plot twist for a different story, I'll take that for future reference. ^_^ I'm so evil.

Inuyasha101: Try to give me signed reviews, ok? But anyway, thanks for reviewing, there will be A LOT of chapters, so don't expect it to end any time soon.

Thanks, and keep reviewing.

Chapter 4: Kowenma's Crazy Antics

"So, should we continue investigating?" Asked Yusuke.

"NO! There would be a total rip in the space time continuum, the universe would explode and my father would kill me!!!" Snapped the toddler.

"Ah, I see the heir has not been comfortable," came Hiei's voice from the door, Kurama stood behind him.

"It's about time you two showed up," grunted Yusuke.

"We had to do something," said Kurama(A/N I'll get into that later), "What has been happening in our misshaped absence?" He asked.

"We found a well that you can jump in, and it takes you back in time, but you can't get through without shards of the Shikon No Tama," Kurama's eyes widened as Botan said this, but she continued, "Somehow me and Yusuke got through, it's probably because of his high spirit energy that he got through, and as for me my origin is from the spirit world."

"I am curious as to this Shikon No Tama, is this the same jewel that has been guarded by mikos for hundreds of years?" Asked Kurama.

"At least that's what the old lady we met told us," responded Yusuke.

Kurama nodded, "I say we help, I know the history, a hanyou named Inuyasha saved the world, it couldn't be of harm if we lend them a helping hand."

Everyone(Even Hiei) gave a nod of agreement, "No!! Don't do this, dad will kill me!!!" Begged Kowenma, but they had already exited and headed toward the Higurashi shrine.

"Sir, I have those papers you wanted to work on," said one of Kowenma's workers.

"Not right now, I need to pray for my life," he said.

Inuyasha and Kagome broke away for air, "Inuyasha," she could only say his name she was so distant from reality, her face was a bright crimson. 'This has to be a dream' she thought, 'Oh, but it feels so real.'

The hanyou embraced her again, 'I should have realized that Kikyo would never do those things to me, why had I been so blind?' He asked himself. (A/N There may not be any Kikyo bashing, but there is sure as hell gonna be a clay pot bashing, I smashed a couple myself today, ^_^)

"Inuyasha, I love you," said Kagome, she had wanted to say nothing else since the first time they met.

"I love you too," said Inuyasha, Kagome had goose bumps all over her body and was trying not to shiver despite the hanyou's warmth.

Then it hit Kagome like a ton of bricks, "What about Kikyo?" She asked, pulling away from him.

"I made a promise to go to hell with the real Kikyo, not a fake, and now I know that I cannot keep that promise because she is already in hell, but I still can avenge her death, the fear is gone Kagome, and now I want to be with you," he said, pulling her into another kiss. This had to be a dream, everything she wanted to hear from the hanyou she cared for came from his mouth, and the kiss she was waiting for for a year was finally hers, it was Heaven as far as she was concerned, and it was Heaven to Inuyasha as well.

Ms. Higurashi peeked in and smiled, if they wanted to spend time together more than eat have at it, if they were hungry they would come back down. She retreated back downstairs to leave the two be. They broke away and held each other in a hug once more, Inuyasha inhaled the scent of her hair, it smelled like sweet spring flowers, what did she call that stuff again? Oh yeah, shampoo. "Inuyasha, is this a dream?" Asked Kagome.

"Nope, if it is then I hope I never wake up," he said.

"Me too," she said with a smile, her face still flushing. Inuyasha and Kagome both lay down on her bed and just held each other, both eventually falling asleep and both dreaming about each other.

Sango and Miroku were walking around the village and surprisingly Miroku wasn't doing anything perverted.. yet. "Houshi-sama, what do you think is taking Kagome and Inuyasha so long?" She asked him, a smirk was plastered on his face.

"I believe that lady Kagome and Inuyasha are having a sort of bonding moment," said Miroku, "Why do you ask me, why not ask lady Kagome when she returns?" He asked.

"I'm not sure she'll tell me," said Sango.

"Ah, the origins of the mysterious 'girl talk'," said Miroku, earning a glare from Sango, they took a rest in the village square. "Sango, do you know why I do it?"

"Huh?" She wondered, but she had a feeling where he was going with this, no way, the monk never opened up with her.

"The Kazzana, this dreaded wind tunnel will devour me someday, and if it does I will need an heir to finish what I started," said Miroku.

Sango wrapped an arm around him and rested her head on his shoulder, he didn't do anything to take advantage of this though, "Don't talk like that Miroku, we'll kill Naraku before that happens," she said with a blush.

Miroku nodded and smiled down at the one he loved, 'Should I tell her, agh!! Kami I can't hold this back!!!'

"Lady Sango?" He requested.

"Hmm?" She wondered.

He leaned his head on hers, "I love you," he said. Sango was speechless for a second, "I love you and I hope that my heir will be conceived by you."

She smiled at this, "I love you too Miroku."

Keada prepared the antidote for the flu, several villagers had caught it and they were all under her care. A modern Japan teenager walked in and smiled as he saw Keada, "Ah, there you are," he said, sitting down by her.

"Well Inutaisho, are ye sure that ye want to go through with this, it will change history forever," she said, she had to make sure that this is what he wanted, the raven haired hanyou nodded in response.

"Yeah, why not, I have been an orphan my whole life, after mother and father were killed by some punk in an ally I got sent to one of those places where they can't even afford to give you decent food. Yes, I do know that it will change history, but we will live together again, as a family," he said, Keada nodded, showing that she understood.

Inuyasha's face turned red, 'Damn, I'm turning into Miroku!' He cursed himself, he wanted the miko next to him so bad, he wanted to mark her so the bondage between them never broke nor wavered. "Kagome?" He asked, awaking her from her peaceful slumber, he was nervous as hell.

"Yeah Inu?" She asked.

"Will you be my mate?" Kagome couldn't believe what she heard, he had just proposed to her.

She giggled, "Of course I will, but we have to have a wedding."

"What's a wed-ing?" He asked curiously.

"I'll tell you later, I'm sure you smell the pizza too," she said with another giggle.

A smirk formed on his face, "Yeah, let's go eat, I don't care what it is, as long as it's edible," she laughed as he picked her up bridal style and bounded downstairs. He set her down on the chair and sat in the one right next to hers, and the Higurashi family sat down to enjoy their dinner.

Sota's curiosity got the best of him, he may have been young, but he was mature for his age, "What's going on between you two?" He asked.

Inuyasha and Kagome choked on their pizza and Ms. Higurashi gave a laugh, poor old grandpa was left in the dark about everything, Ms. Higurashi answered his question, "Birds and bees honey," this made him shudder.

"Please excuse me," said Sota, rushing to the bathroom.

"Mom!!" Snapped Kagome, Inuyasha was still trying to shove the pizza down his throat.

"Can I help it? I'm a mother," she said with another hearty laugh.

"We aren't gonna go that far, I'm only sixteen!!" Kagome defended.

"Oh really?" She asked sarcastically and sat down to eat her pizza as well. "You know how much I'd love grandchildren, so you do have my permission, but you still have to finish school, before or after birth."

Kagome and Inuyasha turned a deep shade of red and they continued to eat their pizza, not saying anything for the wisest. After they were done Inuyasha went back upstairs with Kagome to spend some time together.

Kanna's mirror showed the love between the hanyou and the miko, Kikyo felt like braking it, she had lost her control over him, she cursed herself from not acting like the Kikyo he loved. "Be gone, I have seen enough," Kanna nodded at the dead miko's request and backed into the darkness.

"It seems you have lost your power over him, 'Kikyo'," Naraku put an emphasis on her name, he had known the whole time that she was not Kikyo. That's why Onigumo was a fool, the human could see no difference.

"I have failed to kill him, there may have been a small amount of hatred for Inuyasha in Kikyo's heart, but I am that hatred, to not kill him is to deny my very purpose," she said with anger slightly tinting her voice.

"I can help you drag him down to hell with you, but you have to promise me something," said Naraku, Kikyo jumped at the offer.

~~~~~~~

Inuyasha sat by Kagome on the bed, "She was serious about the pups huh?" He asked, just to know, she nodded.

Kagome's blush slightly disappeared and she giggled, "How'd you know about the birds and bees thing?"

He smirked and let out a laugh as well, "My mom gave me the same talk when I was a kid," he said, wrapping an arm around her.

Kagome smiled up at him, "I still need to tell you what a wedding is," Inuyasha listened with curious ears, "It's when a bunch of people get together to celebrate the bondage between two people, in most cases it's not as strong as a mate bondage but it can be if the two really do love each other," he nodded, signaling her to go on, "Well, the priest reads a passage from the bible asking if we promise to be by each other's side and we both either say I do or read our vows to each other and the best man, which is usually the male best friend, will come up and hand you the ring to give to me, we will put the rings on each other's fingers and we kiss. That's how weddings from America work, and that's what I want to have."

Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow, "Why go through such a complicated process?" He asked.

She giggled, "You sounded like Sesshomaru just then," then when his eyebrow started twitching she burst into laughter.

^_^

Cloud: Well, now our beloved hanyou knows what a wedding is, and what's up Naraku's sleeve?

Cagri: Will you ever just shut up for once when the chapter ends?!

Cloud: Nope, not unless you kiss me, and that ain't gonna happen.

Cagri: grrr

Cloud: Ha! You're cute when you're angry, anyway, tune in next time loyal readers.
