To InuBabe1313: ..I can't tell you when! Or even if. It would ruin the whole story, lol.
To Darkness-Kitsune: I said he was a human in the form he is in currently. Just wait and have patience to see what happens, and why he is exactly a "half-breed". As a matter of fact, just read this chapter and you'll see! lol
To wierdlittlegoat: Log in and get onto the main screen where you see the "Settings" option, the "Document Manager" etc, and go down to the bottom of the list and you'll see "C2 groups" "C2 manager" and "C2 staff". Read around in those catogories and you shall find out! If you don't find what you want to see there, go to the fanfiction homepage and read the updates.
To akire: As for the group, I know for a fact Kikyou, Naraku, Inuyasha (obviously), and Kagome (obviously) are going to be in this fanfiction. As for Miroku and Sango, I think I might have them appear one time or another as just little characters that influence Inuyasha and Kagome to get together (maybe) somehow. Kouga? Shippou? I doubt it. But you never know!
To darrenlee: ..well you see, that's what I thought in the beginning. That it was impossible for a happy ending. Then.. I thought about it. What are some other beliefs in different cultures about death? There of course is heaven or hell, there is limbo, and there is reincarnation. I think I just answered your question. Think about it!

She sighed. "Fine. Situate yourself where your wings aren't bothering me." He snickered. "Now that's a good girl." He turned on his left side, which had his chest facing towards Kagome's back, and he pressed himself up against her back, his wings hugging both of their bodies together.
Kagome blushed, "Too close.. too close!" Inuyasha smirked, "Didn't you want to feel my wings up against you again, dearie?" She blushed five shades of red then scooted away from him. "I'm going to bed." She huffed. "Goodnight." He laughed at her then moved to sleep on the floor. "You women.."

Black Wings
Stage Six
Division
How can you pretend to be so cruel?
Maybe it's me baby, maybe it's true baby.
Maybe it's everything were dreaming of, we waited long enough.
It's gonna be love, it's gonna be great, it's gonna be more than I can take.
It's gonna be free, it's gonna be real, it's gonna change everything I feel.
It's gonna be sad, it's gonna be true, it's gonna be me baby, it's gonna be you baby.
It's gonna be.. its gonna be love.

She opened her eyes, encompassed by a warmth surrounding her which she thought to be the sun. That's when she glanced over to her window and saw it raining heavily and wondered. The sky was gloomy and thunder shook the house, how could she have been warm? She turned over on her other side and came face to face with Inuyasha. His wings were wrapped securely around them both, providing much warmth. Her first instinct was to scream, but she held it in. She looked at his peaceful face, with much innocence. She scoffed and thought to herself, 'Innocence.. yeah right. He's just about as innocent as the devil himself. Or wait, was he the devil?' She shook her head and went back to analyzing his face.
There was age in that face, that was for sure. But he still looked young overall. She envisioned him standing up straight, his wings out, his boots clicking against the floor as he walked, and his shirt wide open exposing his well toned chest. She caught herself blushing, and she shut her eyes tightly, 'What am I thinking? This is that no good, rude, arrogant, jerk!' She opened her eyes slowly, 'But he's still cute..' She sighed quietly. 'What have I gotten into.. I should have stayed back at home with Mom and Souta.. then I would be happy. Then none of this would have happened.' She whispered to his sleeping figure, "Do I need you? Or do you need me?"
He needed her of course, so he could get out of hell. But then she needed him.. for what? Company? Or the whole 'make your life better' thing? Who knows. Kagome sure didn't. But.. this was indeed a very compromising position. And.. she was very comfortable.
So as any other girl would do, she snuggled closer to him and rested her head up against his chest. She closed her eyes and nuzzled. Inuyasha opened one eye slowly, looking down at the girl. The right side of his mouth became a snicker; "And I thought you didn't like me?"
Kagome's eyes shot open as she scooted quickly away from Inuyasha's chest. The only thing that stopped her from totally leaving was the fact that his wings still surrounded them both, giving a very strong hold. She gulped and stuttered, "W-well.. you s-see.. I was dreaming! Yes, I was dreaming. I was dreaming that.. that.. I-I.. u-um.." Her face had to then at least turn ten shades of red. Inuyasha just laughed.
He pulled his wings away and let them rest behind him. Kagome just laid in her same spot, twiddling her thumbs. "I-I-I.. I'm s-sorry." She stammered out, making Inuyasha raise an eyebrow. "What for?" She shook her head and jumped up into a sitting position. "I'll go make breakfast." She jumped out of the bed, over Inuyasha, to the door. She opened it with much haste and ran downstairs, her pajama dress flowing behind her as she ran.
"I swear.. I've one been with her, for what.. a day, and I already know she's a crazy bitch. Why of all people did I have to be her guardian? Couldn't I have had some cute girl? Maybe a blonde. They're easy to take advantage of." He scoffed and rolled over on his back in the bed. "But no.. I had to get stuck with her. Little Miss Kagome Higurashi. Ice queen." He subconsciously began counting all the dots ontop of the ceiling. "And I had to get stuck with that thing." He sat up and looked over at Puffle at the edge of the bed. Puffle stirred and stood up, stretching her body. She yawned and looked over at Inuyasha, her tongue hanging over the side of her mouth. She barked.
Inuyasha jumped out of bed and flew out of the room, literally. Puffle nodded her head to the side and blinked a few times, then started wagging her tail. She jumped out of bed and followed Inuyasha downstairs. There was a stray feather lying on Kagome's bed, unstirred; untouched. After a couple minutes, it turned red, then began forming into blood. It seeped through Kagome's blankets, and any trace of the blood had vanished.

"Today I want to take Puffle shopping." Kagome spoke, as Inuyasha and herself sat at her table eating breakfast.
"Why?" He spoke, his mouth full of rice. He chewed it all down, took a sip of water that was in his glass, then began pigging out on the rice again. "You can just wish for it and another deed is done."
She glared over at Inuyasha, "This isn't all about you, you know. I want to take Puffle out to explore." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and huffed, "Well wait until I'm done eating. Then we can go."
"Oh no, no. Not that soon." Inuyasha had just finished his food when Kagome stood up and gathered all the bowls, cups, and plates together to put in the sink. "Other people can see you, correct?"
He nodded. She then nodded. "Well, you see, this isn't exactly the day and age where you used to live in, and people don't take seeing weird men with wings popping out of their backs lightly. Or flying." She walked over to him and said, "Follow me."
He followed her through the first floor of the house until they got to one closed room at the end. She opened it, and coughed at the dust that had gathered there. She turned on the light and there revealed a nice guest room, bed and all. She walked over to the closet in the room and pulled out a couple clothes, "This used to be where my father lived."
Inuyasha was confused, 'used to'? He watched as Kagome pulled out article after article of clothing, and was finally done. She shut the closet door and turned the light off, walking back outside the room. She shut the door behind her.
She laid the clothing on the nearest couch, "You and him look about the same size. Hopefully these should fit you." First she embarrassingly held up a pair of boxers, "You know how to put this stuff on, right?"
Inuyasha looked at the piece of clothing funnily and shook his head no. Kagome's face turned a light shade of pink. "Well.. you see, all you have to do is remove all your clothing first..--" As she was talking she noticed that Inuyasha was beginning to drop his clothing, "--.. not here, not here!" She turned around as Inuyasha became confused, "You said remove your clothing! Make up your mind, woman! Jesus."
She sighed. There was no other way around this. She turned around completely and said warily, "Okay.. remove everything." He did so, "Now?"
She gulped nervously and said, "Okay.. just put those on like shorts." He did so, and got it right. "Now?" He spoke again. She felt a little relived that he had gotten it right.. if he hadn't.. she didn't even want to think about it. "You see that one blue button up top over there? Slip that over your head like you would normally any other shirt." He did so. "I think I can get the rest."
He slipped on the pair of black baggy jeans that Kagome had given him, as he noticed there was a jacket lying there also. He spoke, "Is the jacket there just in case I get cold?" She nodded from behind and he slipped the leather on. Then he noticed the socks and shoes, putting them on also. "I got it all!"
She turned around smiling, "Good jo..--" She stopped in mid sentence. She noticed he had forgotten to do a lot of things. His pant zipper was undone, along with the pants being backwards altogether; the button up shirt still hadn't been buttoned up, the shoe laces weren't tied, and he had still ripped the shirt in the back for his wings. 'I forgot to tell him not to do that..' She reminded herself.
She slapped herself with both of her hands on her cheeks and her eyes got wide, "That was the only button up top that was appropriate looking in there!" She sighed and banged her head up against the wall. Inuyasha began looking at her like she was a crazy woman. 'Well it's not raining anymore.' He thought, 'So I guess that's the only good thing.'
She sighed, "Okay.. I don't care how embarrassing this is.. I'm gonna' just do it all for him." She walked over to him, back straight, standing tall, and leaned down on her knees. She knocked him over on his butt onto the sofa and removed the shoes, along with the socks. She pulled off his pants hastily as he growled at her, "What are you doing?!"
"You can't seem to dress yourself, I'm fed up, so I'm gonna' do it for you!" She took off his shirt and jacket, so now he was only clad in his boxers. When she noticed that she huffed and walked back over into the room with the closet. She came back out with a skin-tight purple shirt, that would surely show off what he had for a chest. She sighed and decided she would get over it, kneeling back down at his feet. She put the pants on him, the right way, slowly. She then zipped them up at the top and saw that they fit perfectly. They were a bit baggy though, like the kind of baggy that a rapper would wear.
She sighed and put on his socks, along with his Nike tennis shoes. She tied the laces tightly and looked up at him. Still no shirt. She leaned over him and looked at his wings, "Those might be a problem.." She thought for a moment, "Alright, I've got deed three for you."
His face suddenly became enthusiastic, "What?" She smiled, "I want you to be mortal for a day." His eyes became wide, "You want me to WHAT?!"
She countered, "Just for today! When you wake up tomorrow morning you'll be fine." He shook his head, "There is no way you're going to get me to..--" She glared at him and called Puffle, she came running up to Kagome in a flash. She picked Puffle up and placed her on his chest; "Don't make me make her bark, Inuyasha." His eyes became wide, "No fair, no fair!"
She laughed, "So what is it going to be?" He groaned, "Fine! Just get that thing off of me!" She smiled. "Now that's a' good boy, Inuyasha." He scoffed and snapped his fingers, "Deed three.. be gone."
He lit up into a bright white color, then suddenly green sparkles surrounded his wings. Kagome closed her eyes and shielded herself from him. When the light went down, she opened her eyes and looked at Inuyasha. He stood up and ran to a mirror, looking at himself with much surprise. "I.. I look the same way as before I died."
Kagome looked at him, seeing a great change. His skin was a darker tannish color, his eyes were golden, and his hair instead of being a dark purple was a silver color. He was also taller. "What.. in the.." She looked at the top of his head. There rested puppy ears. "..what on earth.."
"As I've said before.. I wasn't of this earth. This earth was once filled with either pure human or pure demon. I'm neither." Kagome walked up to him slowly and put her hand on his head, "I.. don't get it."
"I'm a half-human half-demon. Or I was, I should say. When I came here first as the guy with wings, I was just a normal human with wings and claws. And fangs. Now.. I'm back to 'normal'. I have the eyes, the fangs, the claws, the body.." He pointed to his ears, "The ears.."
Kagome's eyes became watery, and she was quiet. "Well?" He said, waiting for her to scream in fright or run away. Instead, she hugged him tightly around the neck and began playing with his ears, "You're so cute!" Inuyasha got the most confused look on his face that he had ever had in his life, and blinked. "Wha.. what?"
"You're cute! Cute, cute, cute! Is this why you were afraid of Puffle? Because you would be reminded of this form of yours?" He jerked his head to the side and spoke lightly, yet arrogantly, "Maybe." She giggled and brought Puffle back up onto his chest. Puffle smiled and licked his nose. Inuyasha scoffed, "Thank God this is only for a day.."
"Lets see.." Kagome thought, "All I need to do is give you a hat now and we're set!" Inuyasha put on the purple shirt, and Kagome ran off to find a hat. She found a white one, and put it on his head. "Now you look perfectly normal.. so lets go!"
Kagome got a leash and attached it to Puffle's ribbon on her neck, then grabbed Inuyasha's hand. "Lets go!" She rushed out of the house, grabbing her wallet and keys on the way out.

AN: Shopping time!
A little fair warning, I think the next chapter will take a little longer than normal to put out. Ya' know, I got places to go.. people to see.. things to do.. that terrible thing called life. XD I'm not 100 percent sure if it will be late, it may just be a chance. Just giving a warning in advance!
