Review responses: Thanks for the encouraging reviews and just so people know, I've allready written through Chapter 9 on my computer and will upload every few days, hopefully after I get a few new reviews for the new chapter. So if you want an update, review! ^_^

Mily: thank you for the encouraging review. I tried to think of an original way to turn Kagome into a hanyou and thought of the song from Cinderella.

Story Weaver1: Glad you liked the dream and hyper Shippo.

"Kaede, we have a problem we need your help with," said Kagome as the old headwoman looked up and stared at Kagome's new appearance. "I see, hmm, tell me everything that happened after ye left here last night." Kagome told the others about her evening back in her time, and about the strange dream she had that night. "I think that the jewel decided that ye dream was what ye heart truly wanted, and so it made ye a hanyou, probably using some of Inuyasha's blood that mixed with that cut on ye arm after ye battle with Naraku. That would ensure that ye could become mates and have pups," declared the old miko. Kagome blushed at that last part while Inuyasha muttered "Feh," and pretended disinterest. "So it was partly your fault after all Inuyasha," quipped Shippo, which promptly earned him a whack from Inuyasha.

"Oww," sobbed Shippo, rubbing the large bump rising up from his head. Kagome pulled the hurt kitsune into her lap, then glared at Inuyasha and yelled, "OSUWARI!" which lead to the familiar sight of Inuyasha face down on the floor. "Baka, how many times have I told you not to hit my pup?!!" This statement caused everyone to look at Kagome, who suddenly realized what she had said and looked down at Shippo who was looking up at her with a look that clearly said that he was hoping that what she had said was true. ::I guess I have become his adopted mother since he started traveling with us:: Shippo's nervous voice interrupted her thoughts. "Do... do... you really mean that Kagome?" Kagome took one look at Shippo and wrapped her arms about him and hugged him, "Yes I mean it, and I've been taking care of you for so long that I guess my heart decided to make it permanent." The little fox hugged his new Oka tightly, tears of happiness running down his face as he rubbed his head into her soft hair and smiled. Sango had tears in her eyes to, and sighed, "Kawai, he's so happy to be her son," she murmured to the monk who had his arm around her shoulder. "Yes," replied Mirouku, "he has always treated her like a mother, now his dream has come true."

Mirouku then ruined the moment by groping Sango's breast, which earned him a whack from Hiraikotsu. Inuyasha, meanwhile, was staring at the little kit in Kagome's arms with an expression that promised a good beating until Kagome gave him a look that clearly said, 'If you hurt a hair on his head, I will 'sit' you into the center of the earth'

::I guess her hanyou instincts are about right for her age, by now in this time, she would have had at least one pup, oh crap, what if her demon blood takes over and she goes full youkai on us, I'd better find Myoga fast:: "Oi, baba, have you seen Myoga around here?" Kaede glared at the disrespectful hanyou for a minute before saying, "I think he's around the stable in town." As the hanyou rushed off to look for Myoga, Kagome blinked and asked, "What's got him so worked up?"

~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha glared at the stable. He could smell the small flea demon, but finding him in the mess of horses and hay was impossible. "Myoga, get your lazy butt out here now," he called. A sudden prickling on his cheek was followed by his hand slapping at the small flea demon that had just bit him. Inuyasha grabbed the squashed flea and held him up to his eye. Myoga popped back into his normal shape and blinked. "What is it you wanted to ask me about Lord Inuyasha?" Inuyasha briefly summed up what had happened to Kagome and their guesses as to why the change had occurred. Myoga was silent a moment and then stated, "It is certainly possible that your shared blood combined with her dream are the reason Lady Kagome is now a hanyou."

Inuyasha sighed and as he did, a scent that he had learned to fear after a year of traveling with two girls and that only occurred once per month drifted to he nose from the direction of Kaede's hut. "Oi, old-timer, what happens to a female inu hanyou when it's her 'time'?" blurted out the distressed Inuyasha. "Well, I'm not sure, but I think your lord father made a joke that if you had been a girl, he would have grabbed your lady mother and run for his life. Hmm, I think we need to get Lady Kagome some kind of binding object like the Tetsusaiga does for your demon blood. I suggest you go see Toto-..." Myoga was interrupted by the fact that the hanyou was already running back to Kaede's hut and not listening to him any more.

~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome's ears twitched at the sound of Inuyasha approaching and her nose was full of his scent. ::Hmm dirt, pine trees, and cinnamon? Maybe that's his youkai scent.:: Her thoughts were interrupted when Inuyasha burst into the hut and grabbed her arm.

"Come on wench, we have to get going," he growled. Kagome jerked her arm out of his grasp and glared at him. "What do you mean, we have to get going? We've already gotten all the shards, and ..." Kagome was interrupted by an irate hanyou grabbing her and tossing her over his shoulder and running out the door.

Everyone left in the hut blinked in shock, sweat dropped, and then all of them but Kaede chased after the two hanyous. "INUYASHA YOU BAKA, PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" Kagome yelled as she struggled against Inuyasha's grip.

Inuyasha however, wouldn't listen and kept on running until Kilala managed to catch up to him and Shippo flung himself off of the large cat demon to trip Inuyasha and cause him to drop Kagome. Kagome managed to grab Shippo and roll as she hit the ground, yelling "OSUWARI!" about ten times. As Sango and Mirouku climbed off of Kilala and rushed over, Kagome stormed up to the dirt kissing Hanyou with a look in her eye that would have killed Naraku if he had not already been dead. As the spell wore off, Inuyasha rolled over with a look on his face that said 'I know I deserved that' and simply said, "Before you do anything else Kagome, please hear me out." As this type of language was very rare coming from the dirty-mouthed Inuyasha, everyone else stared at him like he had something wrong with him. "Alright," growled Kagome, "but you had better have a good reason."
