Chapter 5: The Son of Inuyasha and Kagome
"What the hell are you laughing at?!" Snapped Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, calm down, it was a joke," she responded, trying to hold back her laughter, Kagome couldn't be more happy, all the feelings that Inuyasha held for her poured out of him all at once, she smiled, "Inuyasha?"
"Hmm?" He wondered.
"You were kinda quick about this whole thing," she said, he flushed, he had been going a bit fast, the first time they had ever expressed their feelings for each other and he had already asked her to be his mate. 'Shit, she's right.' He thought.
"Sorry," he said simply.
"That's something we don't hear from you often," she said, still with a bright smile, "What happened Inuyasha?" She asked him, he was speechless, what if she didn't want her mom to do that, he stayed silent.
She cupped a hand to her mouth and gasped, "Mom, I knew I shouldn't have told her what was going on in the Feudal Era." She sprang up and tried to race downstairs.
"Not so fast, Kagome," said Inuyasha with a smirk as he pointed to Sota's presents, "We have to wrap those, and plus, if it wasn't for your mom we wouldn't be sitting here."
Kagome sighed, Inuyasha was actually being logical, was this what he was really like, "Fine," she said, "For once you're right."
Kagome began to wrap Sota's books and Inuyasha sat there trying to figure out how the wrapping paper worked so he could wrap his video games, "Inuyasha, why were you different when I awoke you?"
Inuyasha stopped fiddling with the wrapping and sighed, "You already know that I thought Kikyo tried to betray me and she thought I had betrayed her, I promised to go to hell with Kikyo. Despite her lack of hanyou likeness, she loved me, but she was afraid of my demon side, so was I. I was all but willing to be human so we could spend the rest of our lives together, but now that I think about it the promise I made to go to hell was a stupid one, Kikyo was in her dying moments, and she thought she was going to go to hell," he gave a chuckle, "Yeah, right, I was stupid for thinking she would go to hell, she's too kind," he said, looking at Kagome with a smirk, "Like you... I guess getting pinned to a tree by a miko's arrow can make you do stupid things, but I don't know if it goes that far, if the real Kikyo saw us now, sure, she'd be heart broken, but she would nod with a smile and wish us luck," he finished and continued messing with the wrapping, Kagome was paralyzed at his words, she had never known that much about Kikyo. She smiled and nodded to herself and continued wrapping the present.
'The real Kikyo sounds nice, it may sound crazy, but I hope I can meet her.' She thought with a smile.
"Kagome, how does this shit work?" He snapped, trying to get the wrapping off of his hands, she giggled and grabbed the wrapping paper and yanked it off of his hand. She decided that Inuyasha might need to sit back, this was one of the many tasks he just wasn't good at.
She pulled him up to her bed and poked his shoulder, "Stay," he gave a growl, but was compelled to listen.
Kagome finished wrapping her brother's presents and sat by Inuyasha to lean her head on his shoulder, "You know, my birthday is right after Sota's, about a month away," she said. Inuyasha froze, he didn't now what to get her, she gave him a smile, "Don't worry Inuyasha, you have a full months notice," she said, still smiling.
"Hey, I have no clue what you want!!!" He snapped.
"Figure it out for yourself Inu-chibi," she said, pecking him on his cheek. He grumbled, he hated being called a puppy.
He sat there for a second then he noticed it was dark, "It's getting late," he said as he lay down on her bed.
"No, no way," snapped Kagome, he smirked and patted the space next to him, she shook her head quickly.
"You didn't seem to have a problem sleeping by me a couple of hours ago," he said, still with a smirk.
Her face almost turned the color of his fire rat cloak, "That was a nap," she responded, trying to edge out the door.
"Oh no you don't," said Inuyasha, jumping in front of her, she gasped as he grabbed her like a sack of potatoes and lay her down on the bed.
"Inuyasha, what are you..." she was cut off by his kiss, "Alright, I cave," she said as they broke away from each other and Inuyasha lay next to her. All of a sudden the subject changed.
"It was all my fault," he said, "I didn't know she wasn't the Kikyo I loved," after he said this Kagome tugged on his ears, HARD, "OW, what the hell was that for?!" He snapped.
She responded quickly, "Because you're always blaming everything on yourself when it's all Naraku's fault, just stop ok?" She begged, Inuyasha looked at her, this wasn't just another order from her, this was a plea, he wrapped his arms around her and they both fell asleep minutes later.
~~~~~~~
Inutaisho hummed the song that Kagome used to sing to him as he helped a smiling Keada prepare the medicine for the Influenza, just then he sniffed the air and was confused, "What's with the wolf smell?" He asked.
Keada's smile widened, "Ye are not to worry, that is Kouga."
"Oh," said the hanyou in a dull tone.
Kouga froze, the strangest smell was coming from Keada's hut, it was Kagome and Inuyasha, COMBINED?! He rushed into the hut to lay his shocked eyes upon a raven haired hanyou that was the source of the smell, "Who are you?" He asked the teenager, "Where is Kagome?"
"Mom isn't in yet, I'll leave a message," he said, mixing an herb with another one.
Did Kouga just hear that guy right, it couldn't be, "Answer me truthfully, who are you?!"
Inutaisho sighed at this, "My name is Inutaisho Higurashi, I am 15 years old, I was born from my mother and father who were in fact Inuyasha and Kagome Higurashi. You were one of my father's best friends(A/N Wow, hard to imagine huh?) until..." He froze at that part and his face darkened, he didn't want to talk about it, there was something wrong with that guy that killed them.
"You're lying," snapped Kouga.
"No, he isn't," came Keada's voice from the back.
"Where are his ears then?!" He snapped, even though it was inevitable.
Inutaisho sighed and took off a sweat band hidden in his hair to reveal two dog ears, "This proof enough?" He asked. Kouga sat there stunned until Inutaisho broke the silence, "Ayame," is all he said.
"Huh?" Wondered Kouga, he had recognized that name from somewhere.
Inutaisho had enough, "Think wolf brain, Ayame? Ring a bell?"
It didn't, "What the hell are you talking about?" Snapped Kouga. Inutaisho stood up and walked over to him, he placed a hand on his forehead. Suddenly it all came flooding back to him, he retreated the hut in shock.
"That was strange, you'd think he would react differently," said Inutaisho, Keada nodded in agreement.
~~~~~~~
"Alright!!!" Shouted Sota as he opened his new video games and books, he hugged Inuyasha and Kagome. He got some scrolls from grandpa that probably didn't work at all, and some new clothes and a new co co clock from his mother, he gave her a hug. After about an hour they started to eat dinner, and to Kagome and Inuyasha's relief no embarrassing conversations took place. They said their goodbyes to the Higurashi family and headed down the well so they could get to Keada's hut before the sun set.
Inuyasha helped Kagome up out of the well and they headed toward the village, "Leaving so soon?" He heard a familiar voice behind him, he turned to find that it was that Yusuke guy.
"What do you want?!" Inuyasha demanded as two other demons and the woman showed themselves.
"I don't think we had a proper introduction," said Yusuke walking over to him to hold out his hand, "Yusuke Urameshi," he finished, Inuyasha reluctantly shook the spirit detective's hand when Kagome gave him a firm nod that clearly said 'Don't do anything stupid or there'll be a hanyou shaped crater in the ground'.
"Inuyasha," he responded, Yusuke didn't push for a last name, he knew that in this era most people didn't have last names.
"This is Hiei," said Yusuke pointing to the short demon with black hair that was nicely spiked up on his head, "That's Kurama," he pointed to the red haired demon that had his hair cut a little like Inuyasha's but it wasn't as long, "And that's Botan," he said, pointing to the woman with blue hair and a casual Kimono, she added a smile and waved.
"We came here to help," said Kurama, Hiei despised that word but nodded nonetheless.
Kagome jumped on it before Inuyasha said something stupid, "We'll let you help," she said with a bright smile as she dragged Inuyasha to the village, with Yusuke and the others behind them. A little while before they reached the village Inuyasha picked something up.
"That scent is a bit strange," he exclaimed.
"What, what's wrong Inuyasha?" Asked Kagome, a bit worried as he darted off. She let out a sigh and ran after him.
"Hey, wait up!!!" Yelled Yusuke.
Hiei sighed, "We've only just met them, we don't exactly know them yet," he stated.
Yusuke gave a growl, "You're one to talk when you don't have any friends except for us," he snapped, running after Kagome, Hiei and Kurama continued walking as Botan darted after Yusuke.
"Humans," growled Hiei, Kurama gave a slight smile but did not reply.
Inuyasha almost went into shock as he entered the hut and saw Inutaisho sitting there, now he knew what that strange scent was, Kagome wasn't far behind. Inutaisho smiled and nodded at them both, "Mother, Father," after he said this Kagome passed out and Inuyasha caught her just in time. Inutaisho's ears twitched, "Uh, I guess I shouldn't have been so straightforward," he said, giving a nervous laugh. Yusuke walked in and looked around himself, he sighed, nothing bad was happening so he sat down on a cloth as Hiei and Kurama showed up.
~~~~~~~
Naraku tried not to grit his teeth, now that Inuyasha had the guts to love someone he would be even stronger, and that new brat, Yusuke brought a little gang with him to make things more of a thorn in his side, and he wanted to pull out that thorn desperately. He hoped that Kikyo did not fail in killing Kagome. "Kagura," he called with command in his voice.
She came out of the darkness, "Yes?" She wondered.
"Go see if Kikyo is willing carry out this task, if she is not, than kill her," commanded Naraku. Kagura nodded at his demand and drew back to the shadows.

Cloud: Naraku is so evil.
Cagri: No duh, you think you'd know that by now!
Cloud: Grr, don't get all jumpy, anyway, plz review, I'll update as soon as possible.
