The Trouble With Being a Hanyou

Authors note: This is my first attempt at an Inuyasha fanfic so any input you can give me would be great even if it's negative. Any suggestions are also welcome.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha so don't sue.

Well, here goes! Happy reading!

Prologue

Inuyasha and the gang had just destroyed Naraku and Kagome and Inuyasha were getting married. They did it on a moonless night so they could have it in Kagome's time with her family. Inuyasha went back and forth from the times so he could bring everybody to be at the wedding, Sango was the Maid of Honor and Miroku was Inuyashas Best Man. Shippo had gotten better at transforming himself and was able to be the Ring Bearer without friends of the family staring at his tail, Kirara was able to watch the whole thing from up in a tree although she desperately wanted to be at the alter with her friends, a cat with red eyes and two tails might draw attention.

After the wedding, Miroku made his big announcement, he had created a charm to make Inuyasha appear human. The charm would have to be reapplied once a month but it would allow Inuyasha to live in the future with Kagome. This charm sufficed to give Inuyasha and Kagome an excuse to go see everyone on the other side of the well about twice a year, it was treated as a grand reunion. Eventually, Sango and Miroku got married as well, after Miroku had stopped grabbing Sango's butt at every chance.

It was at one of these reunions about two years after the defeat of Naraku that Inuyasha and Kagome brought a visitor. Inuyasha and Kagome were walking up to Sango and Miroku's house which was placed a little further away from the village than Kaede's hut. Shippo came running up to them, although he didn't jump on Kagome because he was getting a little big for that. Besides, he saw that his usual place in Kagome's arms was already taken. Inuyasha and Kagome had a daughter and they named her Saru. The group celebrated the birth of their first child and Miroku made up some extra charms, for although Saru had her mothers face and hair, she also had her fathers eyes, ears and claws (and when her teeth came in, fangs as well).

The reunions continued for another three years as Saru grew and Miroku and Sango had a son (to Miroku's great joy) named Koroshi. It was at this last reunion that something would happen to tear apart the friends for years to come....
