Morning came early to the group, as they all rose and prepared to leave for Kiade's village. Kagome asked sango if she would care to join her in a bath, which she agreed happily. The girls made their way to a near by river and stripped off their clothes and waded into the water.

"Epp, this water is cold" kagome said between chattering teeth

"Brr it its cold kagome-chan, I think this will be a quick bath"

The girls took the fastest bath they had ever taken in their lives and quickly dried off and put their clothes back on. On the way back to the camp kagome tripped on a tree root and landed on one knee, hitting a rock and cutting her leg

"Oww!"

"Kagome-chan are you alright"

"Yeah im ok I just tripped and hit my knee on this rock"

"your bleeding kinda bad, we should hurry up and get back to camp and ill put some bandages on that."

They quickly made it back to the camp, Inuyasha could smell Kagome's blood before she even got there, but what was more strange was that his knee was hurting, which he couldnt understand why. That is until kagome and sango returned and he saw where she had been cut

"what happened kagome?"

"I tripped and fell and hit my knee on a rock"

Sango placed a bandage and antibiotic cream on the cut and the group resumed their trip back to kiade's village.

As the village came into sight kagome couldn't help but fell like it had been weeks since she had been here, even though it had only been a few days, nevertheless she was relieved to finally see Kiade's hut, the strange thing was that even though they had been walking almost all day she really didn't feel tired. As Kagome and Inuyasha entered the hut Kiade saw the blood on their clothes and where they both had been struck with the arrows.

"What happened? Are you two ok?"

"Lets go inside and we will explain what has happened" Inuyuasha said

Kiade brought them into her hut and offered them some fresh stew which she had prepared for supper.

"Tell me child now what happened? I gather that its something important." Kaide asked

"Hai Kaide-sama" Miroku answered

"To begin with, things have changed between Kagome and me"

"Ay that is apparent, and I believe you have chose correctly"

"Kikyo didn't think so, I still had no intention of breaking my word to her, I asked her for more time, until kagome and I had lived out our life together but she wouldn't allow it. She tried to kill kagome in order to get me to go with her to hell now, but instead her arrow hit me. That's the last thing I remember"

"Her arrow didn't hit you, you got in the way"

"I couldn't let her kill you Kagome, I promised to protect you and I intend to keep that promise if it kills me"

"It already did once"

"Feh"

"What happened after that child"

"After kikyo shot inuyasha, I…I don't know what happened really, I don't remember much, but I do know that I somehow purified her but not before she could hit me with an arrow also. I managed to crawl to Inuyasha and the next thing I remember is waking up, laying on top of him in a grave" Kagome said as she shuddered

"Ahh that would explain what I felt, it was her spirit leaving this world, but how are ye both alive if my sister killed you."

"That's the part we don't understand, when I woke up the wound in my chest was gone, so was inuyasha's"

Kiade sat back, taking in all the information she had been given, slowly she began to understand what had happened, if they had been buried lying on top of each other then its possible that by mixing their blood they would heal each other

"Tell me child since you awoke have you noticed anything strange"

"what do you mean kiade"

"Has anything changed"

"No not that I can think of, except well maybe but this will sound a little crazy, its almost like I can feel inuyasha's presence.

"Hmm, what about the bandage on your leg, what happened there"

"Oh this, I tripped and fell and cut my leg"

"Hmm remove the bandage child, if I am correct the wound shall not be there anymore"

Kagome removed the bandage covering the cut she had received only a few hours ago to everyone's supprise, well everyone but Kiade, the cut was healed

"It is as I thought, you and inuyasha have exchanged blood, you have gained some of his healing abilities, he will have gained some of your abilities also. I think this is why he was able to heal, since your miko blood was in his body, it stopped the purifying effects of kikyo's arrow. I suggest you seek out someone who would know more of this than I"

"But who could we ask" kagome inquired

"I know who, myoga-jiji, he would know" responded Inuyasha

"But where would we find him" Miroku asked

"He's probably with totosai"

The next morning inuyasha was preparing to leave for totosai's he had explained to the group that he would be able to get there and back much faster alone, after short goodbyes from miroku and sango he and kagome stood and exited the hut. They would say their goodbyes in private.

"Inuyasha please be careful ok"

"I will, i should return within 3 days, return to your time and ill come get you when i get back, i dont want you hanging around here too much as there could be youkai near by"

After saying their goodbyes Inuyasha departed for totosai's and kagome returned to kiade's hut to retrieve her possessions and made her way towards the well. Heaving her extreamly heavy pack onto her back she sat down on the lip of the well, swinging her legs over and dropped in. She felt the fimilar floating feeling and in a few moments felt the solid ground underneath her feet, looking up she saw the wellhouse ceiling, which confirmed that once again she had returned to her time. As she climbed out of the well she mused about how much easier it was with inuyasha there, he would just pick her up and give one jump and be at the top, speaking of inuyasha she already missed him, things had been so different lately and she didnt want things to go back to the way they were, she liked the refined inuyasha, no it was more than that, i didnt matter how he acted outwardly, she knew how he felt on the inside and that was what mattered the most. Sighing she opened the door to the well house and walked to her home, entering and slipping her shoes off at the door.

"Mama, im home" she yelled no response, walking into the kitchen she found a note attached to the refrigerator

"Kagome,

We have gone out of town for a few days, we should be back by sunday, dont get into too much trouble"

Sighing she tossed the note into the trash can and plopped down on the couch, this was going to be a boring three days, she could already tell.

It had been a long time since inuyasha could just run full force, feeling the wind blowing in his face, pushing back his silver locks, i felt great to just be able to run without worrying about anything else. As he ran the thought to him self he would have to do this more often. Even though he was enjoying the freedom he was already missing kagome. Since things had changed between them he hadn't wanted to be apart from her. He would have brought her along with him but he wanted to get this over quick and with her along they would have been a week just getting there (). he was almost at totosai's another couple hours and he would arrive, he wondered what would happen between him and kagome, i mean he had never heard of a hanyou or youkai sharing blood before, especially with a miko. If anyone would know about it, it would be myoga-jiji. Inuyasha arrived at totosai's around noon that day. He was correct in his assumption that myoga would be here, he found the small flea youkai sitting inside totosai's hut.

"Myoga-jiji, i need to talk with you"

"Inuyasha-sama, i had not expected to see you."

"can it flea this is important, you need to return with me to kiade's village"

"My lord may i ask what is going on"

"it has to do with kagome and me"

"Ahh i see, lord inuyasha you dog" (major pun intended)

Inuyasha sputtered and grabbed the flea youkai, squishing him between his finger and thumb, myoga floated slowly down to the floor. After a few more squishings from inuyasha, myoga and he departed from totosai's, heading back to kiade's village, the journey would take a day and a half and inuyasha found himself wondering what kagome was doing right now.

Kagome lay in her bed, wrapped around one of her pillows. She had been trying to imagine that it was inuyasha but it just didnt have his ears, which she thought was just too kawaii. After fighting her sleep for nearly an hour she finally gave in and allowed sleep to claim her. The next thing she knew she was awake and in the feudal era, however something was very different. She was lying under a big tree, it was warm and sunny outside and she could feel strong arms wrapped around her, which she immediately recognized as inuyasha's, but there was something else, something that was not usually there, she felt movement, and it was in her lap. She tensed not knowing what it could be and slowly looked down, almost afraid of what she would see. Much to her supprise she saw a white cloth with something inside it, she leaned forward so as to see what was inside the cloth when she saw something she really didnt expect to see. inuyasha's ears!?

Further inspection of the wrapped bundle revealed that not only was inuyasha's were there but a whole body to go with it.

"Oh my goodness, he looks like inuyasha"

"Not completely, see he has your eyes and nose" Inuyasha stated from his position behind her

"YOU MEAN HE'S MINE!!, how, when, huh"

"kagome slow down are you ok, yes he is yours, dont you remember your own child"

It was then that realization set in, in front of her sat a beautiful house, complete with swing, another child was running towards her holding flowers that had just been picked, she looked down to herself and noticed that she wasnt wearing her usual uniform, she was wearing a pale blue kimono with gold trim and sakura blossoms. "Wait this cant be right" she thought, but her heart told her different, she had a family, with inuyasha, this was her home, her baby in her arms, this was heaven. She felt warm lips press against the back of her neck, which sent chills all the way to the ends of her toes. He begain to nibble his way along her neck towards her ear and she couldnt keep from shivering, he reached a clawed hand up to caress her cheek as he turned her face to meet his. At first he was suttle, only lightly brushing his lips against hers, but that was just not going to work for kagome, she wrapped both arms around his neck and kissed him furiously. They once again entered the age old conflict, tounges battling for dominance and neither winning. Inuyahsa broke off the kiss when his lungs screamed for him to breathe and he placed kagome's head under his chin and planted small kisses on top of her head. She relaxed into his embrace, feeling safe and secure.

Kagome awoke to the suns bright rays filtering into her room, she slit an eye open and groaned "too early" a moment later she shot straight up in her bed looking around.

"It was a dream? But it felt so real"

She could still feel the heat from where Inuyasha had kissed her, her lips swollen, and hands trembling. then another image from her dream flashed into her head, there was a white bundle laying in her lap. Small ears like inuyasha's sticking out the top of the blanket. "That....that was our child" She wispered, slowly moving her had to rest on her abdomen. Slowly she raised from her bed, still in a daze from the images that had played in her head. she mad her way over to her window, opened it up and gazed out at the morning sky. The sun was already up, shining bright in the eastern sky, small white clouds dancing with the sunlight, yes it was truely a beautiful day. As she started to move away from her window she heard a sound comming from the old well house, she cast her gaze down below her just in time to see inuyasha emerge, he looked towards her window and his eyes locked with hers, she felt her heart catch in her throat, "GODS his eyes are so beautiful". Inuyasha wasted no time in jumping up to her window, still keeping his gaze fixed on kagome, "GODS i could get lost in her eyes" After what felt like an eternity they managed to tear away from each others gaze.

"Kagome, i missed you" Inu said wrapping his arms around his love

"I missed you too koi" she said snuggling into his chest and placing her head in under his chin, in which he planted loving kisses on top of her head. they stayed like that for some time, each of them taking comfort in being together like this. After releasing each other inuyasha told kagome that he had found myoga and that he was waiting for them in kiade's village.

"Hey inu is it ok if i take a shower before we leave, i really need one"

"On one condition, that you make me ramen, and that you wash my haori"

kagome smiled at her hanyou "of course ill make you ramen, but inu thats two not one"

"Feh"

They made their way downstairs and into the kitchen. As promised kagome made inuyasha his ramen and put his haori into the wash. while he sat happily slurping up his noodles, she excused her self to take her much needed shower. After inuyasha had finished his ramen, he moved the the re..frigg..or..ate..or to get something to drink. He still marveled at how they could make winter inside a little box, eyeing a jug of milk he decided he would pour himself a glass, the only problem was, he couldnt get the damn lid off, getting frustorated at the lid he took one swipe with his claws, cutting the lid off the top of the jug, also spilling milk all over his yukata.

"Damn it to hell, now ill have to clean this as well"

Making his way to the washing machine, he removed his yukata and threw it in with his haori. He decided he would wait for kagome in her room, at least in there he could smell her, which was comforting to him. He made his way into her room and flopped down on her bed, snuggling up to her pillow and inhaling deeply, drinking in her scent.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Inuyasha heard her scream and immediatly bolted from her bed, tetsugia drawn and raced down to where she was, he flung the door open, body tensed for battle,

"Kagome, what is it, are you ok"

"Spider, spider, Inuyasha kill it!!"

Inuyasha looked into the shower and saw a small black spider trying desperitly to escape the water. He reached into the tub and scooped it up into his hands, soaking himself in the process, opened the window and tossed it out. The one thing both of them didnt really notice until now was that kagome was standing, dripping wet and naked in the shower. As inuyasha turned back around to check on kagome, he noticed for the first time the situation he was in. His mind was telling him to look away, run away, anything, but he couldnt manage to get his eyes to listen to him, nor the rest of his body, the way the water droplets glistened off of her smooth creamy skin. the beautiful curves of her body, he just couldnt look away.

kagome was in a similar state, she had just noticed that he had removed his undershirt and she could see the way his muscles rippled, his rock hard chest. Yep to say she wanted him was an understatement, but she realized her situation too, it took a minute but her fogged up brain finally registered that she was still naked, standing there infront of inuyasha.

"Eeeeeeek!" kagome squeaked out pulling the shower curtain around her body

"I...I'm sorry, Ka...Kagome" he managed to strangle out, eyes still locked on her

Shaking his head to dispell the cobwebs that had formed in his brain, Inuyasha lowered his head, mumbled a quiet "sorry" and slowly began to trudge out of the bathroom. "Inu, wait", "Oh my god i cant believe im doing this" she thought. "Wouldyouliketojoinme" she quicked rattled off

"Nani!?" Inuyasha said, not sure he heard her correctly

"Would you..like to join me" kagome repeated, tho much more nervously

"Kagome...i...we"

"I know inuyasha, but i..I think we can handle this"

kagome released her death grip on the curtain, still unsure if she was in her right mind, but seeing Inuyasha like that and the way he had looked at her, she didnt care if her mind never came back. Slowly Inuyasha inched his way closer to the shower, he fumbled with the ties to his hakama, finally getting it untied and letting it fall slowly to the ground. he took a cautious step into the shower, still unsure if he was dreaming or not. he looked up to kagome, to see if she had maybe changed her mind about what she had said, she was staring at him, completely frozed in her spot.

"Oh GODS he... hes standing right here infront of me, wearing nothing, im wearing nothing" Kagome begain chewing on her lower lip, trying to calm her self down, Inuyasha was not much better either, he had already memorized every line, every curve, everything about kagome. Finally snapping out of his stuper, Inuyasha slowly closed the distance between them, snaking his arms around her, pressing her breasts aginst his chest, he began kissing her, slowly at first and as she started to respond he nibbled at her lower lip, a silent request to enter her mouth. she happily agreed and allowed him to deepen the kiss. he pulled her closer, as close as he could, continuing to explore every inch of her mouth. kagome could feel her resolve begin to melt and all that was her world was Inuyasha. He slowly brought a hand down to caress her left breast, massaging in soft circles, kagome couldnt help but moan into his mouth. While contiuning to massage her breast, he begain to trail white hot kisses down to her neck, nipping lightly at her pulse point, elisiting more moans of pleasure from kagome. he continued on his journey, reaching her right breast, taking it into his mouth he lapped at it softly, making small circles around the nipple with his tounge and gently raking his fangs over it. that was it for kagome, she wanted him, needed him now. Reaching behind her she turned the knob on the shower, cutting off the water, Inuyasha stopped his ministrations momentarly, looking up at kagome confused, she gave him a devilish smile, one of pure want and lust. Dragging him from the shower, she led him into her bedroom and gently pushed him down onto the bed, crawling ontop of him and straddling his chest, she began her own form of tourtue. Lightly kissing along his jawline, and down to his rock hard chest. Using her tounge to make small soft circles while lightly draging her nails across his bare flesh, elissiting moans from inuyasha. After a few moments she returned her attention to his lips. kissing him with need and desperation. Inuyasha, felling his own resolve begin to wane placed his hands on her side and flipped them over so that he was on top of her, he kissed his way down her chest, stopping at each breast, then kissing his way down to her stomach, running his tounge in long lines over her smooth, firm skin. kagome shivered uncontrolably, and moaned, fisting her hands into his hair. Suddenly all she saw as white, heat began to pool in her lower abdomin, she begain moaning louder than before, thanking all that could hear her for inuyasha and his talented tounge. Inuyasha had come upon her sweet spot. seeing the little nub of flesh he began to lick, taking in her juices and loving the taste of his kagome, he placed his lips over her sweet spot, gently sucking and he increased pressure with his tounge, within a few seconds he could smell her desire, it had more than trippled, he continued to tourtue her, loving each and every moan he got from her. finally he released her and moved up to look into her eyes, eyes clouded over with desire and lust. Gods it felt good to feel this wanted and needed

"Kagome are you sure about this, are you sure its what you want"

"mhmm, yes its what i want, i love you Inu, i need you right now"

Slowly he lowered himself down until his tip was sitting on the outside of her entrance, he looked up to her once more, seeing her nod he slowly entered her. he stopped as he felt her hymen, wrapping his arms around her and nuzzling his face aginst her he whispered into her ears

"Im sorry about this, I know this is going to hurt, but only for a minuite I love you"

and he thrust forward, he saw a single tear roll down her cheek and her bottom lip quiver slightly. Reaching over he licked the tear from her cheek and nuzzled his nose to hers, once the pain had subsided he begain a slow steady rythum, which had both him and kagome moaning, all pain forgotten. After a few minitues he sped up his rythum, kagome meeting him thrust for thrust. She started feeling heat pool again, but this time stronger, all most like she was going to explode, inuyasha felt this also, he could smell her orgasm getting close and decided he would push her over the edge before he himself went over, slowly moving down, he began to suckle on her breast, lapping and nipping with his fang. That done it, with a loud window shattering scream she came, full force, screaming his name. As her muscles clamped down on his member it was all too much for even a hanyou to handle and he too reached his climax, releasing his seed into her, also screaming her name. He fell forward, both bodies still linked together and covered in sweat, he began planting sweet kisses all over her face and neck.

"Kagome" he said shakily "I love you, my mate"

"Mate huh i like the sound of that, I love you too mate, more than anything"

"There is one thing you should know"

"whats that Inu"

"Inu youkai mate for life, your my first and last"

This made kagome smile even more "for life huh, so im stuck with you" she said teasingly

Inuyasha face turned to pure shock, kagome saw this and quickly reassured him saying she was just teasing, he relaxed into her embrace

"Inu i wouldnt have it any other way, your my first and last too"

Inuyasha rolled off of her and pulled her close to him, tucking her head under his chin, he reached over and pulled the sheet over them. Kagome snuggled in closer to him, wanting to remain a part of him forever, she had never felt so complete in her life and neither had Inuyasha.

Three hours and two showers later (seperate showers or they would have never left the house) kagome packed her overly large yellow backpack with supplies and prepared to leave for the fedual era.

"Are we ready to leave mate?" Inuyasha asked

"Yeah we're ready"

Shouldering the overly stuffed bag inuyasha and kagome set out for fuduel japan hand in hand they walked towards the old well house. Once there inuyasha picked kagome up bridal style and lept into the time slip. Moments later they arrived in the feudal era, they made their way out of the old well and back to kaide's hut. Upon their entering the hut they saw Kiade, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Myoga sitting around the fire with Kirara curled at Sango's feet. It would appear that they had been waiting for them to return. Inuyasha moved across the hut and took a seat with his backup against the wall and kagome sat down beside him. Shippo was looking at her with puzzled expression, like he could tell something had changed but he didnt know what, Kagome however knew exactly what it was and did her best to hide her blush.

"Inuyasha-sama, Sango-chan has told me of what happened between you and Kagome-sama, I would assume you came seeking me for answers."

"Yes, can you tell us anything Myoga-jiji"

"Hmm, You were correct in your assumption that the reason why you both are alive is because your blood has been combined, however there are other effects as well"

"Out with it jiji"

"Oh Inuyasha-sama never the patient one are you. Anyway, as for the full effects no one can say for sure, i can tell you that both of you will gain some of the others abilities, to what level I'm unsure, One thing i am sure of is about Kagome-sama"

"What is it Myoga-jiichan, is it bad"

"Well that depends on how you look at it, by sharing Inuyasha-sama's blood you have now adopted his lifespan, you will age just as he does"

Inuyasha looked to kagome, he saw all the emotions flash across her face, at first, supprise, then worry and finally contentment.

"Something else also, you are now bound to Inuyasha-sama, and he bound to you, you are now forever linked to this time period"

"You mean.. that even if we complete the shikon jewel and use the wish that the well won't close." Kagome asked hopefully

"Yes, that is what i mean, you were brought here by the Shikon no Tama and its magic is what has held you in the world and allowed you to travel between the two, but now since you are bound to Inuyasha-sama the jewel no longer holds you here, also in keeping with the youkai traditions any who share their blood with another must become mates"

Inuyasha and Kagome looked to each other, then to everyone in the room and both blushed tomato red. Inuyasha looked to kagome and she gave a nod, he leapt up and grabbed her and placed her in his arms and broke out in full run into his forest. The group sat in stunned silence, that is until shippo put two and two together.

"Thats whats different, they both smell like......."

Now it was shippo's turn to blush as he realized just what had occured between the two. Miroku being the letch he was, finally caught on, he turned to Sango with a perverted gleam in his eyes

"It would seem that Inuyasha and Kagome-sama have already done just that."

Realization dawned on Sango finally and she her self turned 3 shades of red when she figured out what they were talking about.
