IMPORTANT!-I changed the ending to this chapter! I decided it was really
rushed and was annoying me so this chapter has a new ending and is longer
with a little more detail. The ending is similar to the original one but
you should re-read it!
AN:: I started writing this fic early. Damn unwanted inspiration!!! ::looks around and sees people confused:: I get really inspired when I listen to Inuyasha music. Especially when I listen to Every Heart, which is my favorite one right now so causes unwanted inspiration problems. So that's why I started writing this fic so bear with me my sanity is currently questionable due to all the Inuyasha music I've been listening to.
Ok in my lil update thing on Wednesday I said this would be online Thursday night. Well I had a lil insanity crisis from not understanding what someone said and it seemed like a flirting/come on thing and I sorta have a thing for the guy it's was driving me insane. So here it is! I even made it a little longer then I was planning to make it up to ya'll.
I'll be updating once a week for now on. Un, I have been getting plenty of reviews but I just don't have as much time to write. I'll try to update more then once a week when I get the chance.
ok new symbol here!

Chapter 23 Hanyou
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The moonlight glistens on Inuyasha's white hair, and the chunks of white in Kagome's. They stand there under the Sacred Tree looking at each other. Inuyasha just looks at her rethinking what she asked.
~(Kagome) Since I'm hanyou...won't I live as long as you?~
(Kagome) You don't have to ignore me Inuyasha. ::crosses her arms across her chest leaning against the tree::
(Inuyasha) ::off in thought:: 'Would she live as long as me now? With the Shikkon no Tama and my blood.....we should probably be almost the same age now...'
(Kagome) Earth to Inuyasha! ::waves a hand in front of his face::
::Inuyasha blinks and looks at her::
(Kagome) What are you finally doing to answer me?
(Inuyasha) I don't know exactly. Kaede would probably be able to figure it out.
::Kagome looks at him confused. Her new hanyou ears twitching at every sound::
(Inuyasha) With the Shikkon no Tama and my blood mixing with yours....
(Kagome) We should both be about the same age right?
::Inuyasha nods and Kagome breaks into a huge smile::
(Kagome) Then we will be together forever....
::Inuyasha takes her into his arms and holds her close::
(Kagome) Aishiteru Inuyasha ::holds him close resting her head on his chest::
(Inuyasha) Aishiteru Kagome ::rests his head on top of hers::
::A gentle wind blows past the two blowing their hair in the wind. The two hanyous locked away from time in a moment of pure happiness and peace, for now at least::
~*~
Miroku stares at Sango in shock. Sango's face blushed with a light pink. Miroku re-thinks in his head what Sango had said to him, her words echo in his head.
~(Sango) I love you~
(Miroku) 'She loves me....me, the lecherous houshi?...a woman actually loves me?
::A few minutes pass and Sango looks at Miroku. His face still in shock, so Sango gives him a small smile. There is silence except for the crackling fire, and the crickets outside. Finally Miroku finds his voice::
(Miroku) What did you say? ::in disbelief::
::Sango lightly punches him in the arm, pulling him back from his shock::
(Sango) You know what I said
::Miroku's face breaks into a huge smile::
(Miroku) You love me....You really love me?!
::Sango nods smiling. Then her smile wavers::
(Sango) Miroku do you...
::Miroku looks at her face, then takes her right hand in his hands::
(Miroku) I love you too Sango. 'By Gods it feels good to be able to tell her'
::Sango's face breaks into a huge smile. Miroku leans forwards and kisses her gently then pulls away smiling::
(Sango) ::smiling:: You better! ::they both break into huge smiles::
::Shippo and Kirara watch the two human from the doorway. Kirara steps back intending to leave them alone, Shippo however isn't the most intelligent kitsune, when it comes to leaving people alone. Shippo bounces into the hut as Kirara walks outside::
(Shippo) What ya do'n!? ::smiling innocently::
::Sango and Miroku turn and glare at the kitsune::
(Shippo) What did I do?
(Miroku) You got some bad timing Kit.
::Sango reaches for her boomerang, as Miroku reaches for his staff::
(Shippo) umm what are you doing?.... ::eyeing them scared::
::Sango and Miroku exchange a look then advance on the kitsune::
(Shippo) ::screams:: KAGOME!
~*~
Over back with Kagome and Inuyasha
They were still standing under the Sacred Tree content in each others arms. Kagome's ears twitched when she heard a scream. Kagome steps back away from Inuyasha.
(Kagome) I think I heard Shippo yell for me.
(Inuyasha) ::grumbles:: Damn kit.
(Kagome) So you heard him?
(Inuyasha) Un.
::Kagome turns to walk back to the village::
(Kagome) Then let's go see why he screamed.
(Inuyasha) Your a hanyou now, so why are you gonna walk?
::Kagome turns and looks at him::
(Kagome) Huh?
::Inuyasha rolls his eyes::
(Inuyasha) You can run like I can now. But you'll probably be slower ::laughs::
(Kagome) oh, so you think I'll be slow? Race you back.
(Inuyasha) Fine but I'll be stuck waiting for you.
::The two of them get ready to run::
(Kagome) Go!
::They both take off running towards Kaede's hut. To the villagers and anyone that might be watching, they were blurs. Closing in on the hut, Inuyasha was ahead of Kagome. When the two hanyous got there, they arrived at the same time::
(Kagome) ::stopping just outside the hut Inuyasha stopping near hear:: See I told you, I wouldn't be slow!
(Inuyasha) Feh! I let you win. ::crosses his arms::
(Kagome) ::laughs:: You just let yourself believe that.
::Inuyasha growls and tackles her to the ground. Pinning her down to the ground holding her arms down above her head and sitting on her stomach, Inuyasha looked down at her face smirking::
~*~
Back with our favorite demon exterminator, lecherous houshi, and annoying kitsune...
Shippo was backed into a corner. Sango and Miroku were both glaring daggers at Shippo, holding their weapons ready to attack. Out of the corner of her eye, Sango notices two blurs run to the hut and so she relaxes her boomerang.
(Sango) Inuyasha and Kagome are back.
::Miroku relaxes his staff and Shippo lets out a sigh of relief::
(Miroku) I hope Kagome-sama is alright.
::Sango and Miroku exit the hut followed by a cautious Shippo::
(Miroku) Way to go Inuyasha!
::They see Inuyasha sitting on top of Kagome pinning her down. Inuyasha and Kagome turn to see them. Then they realize what position they're in and blush a deep red. Inuyasha gets off Kagome and offers her a hand to help her stand::
(Inuyasha) Shut up Lecher! We weren't doing anything! ::growls at Miroku::
(Miroku) Oh really? ::winks::
::Sango hits Miroku in the back of the head with her boomerang as she turns to Kagome::
(Sango) Are you alright Kagome-chan?
::Kagome nods taking Inuyasha's hand and standing::
(Kagome) Yeah I think I'm okay now.
(Sango) ::Looks at her friend suspiciously:: Are you sure?
(Kagome) I'm positive ::ears twitch::
::Inuyasha puts a protective arm around Kagome's waist::
(Kagome) I'm worried about Shippo-chan though. I hear him yell.
::Sango and Miroku sweat drop as Shippo jumps into Kagome's arms::
(Shippo) They tired to hurt me! ::shakes::
(Kagome) Its okay Shippo ::rubs his back to sooth him:: What did he do?
::Sango blushes and Miroku looks at a tree::
(Inuyasha) ::smirks:: What's ya do?
(Miroku) He interrupted us ::with no hint of embarrassment::
::Kagome looks between Sango and Miroku with a look of slight shock. Inuyasha just smirked::
(Sango) We didn't really do anything! ::Shippo walked in when....
(Kagome) When what? ::smirks matching Inuyasha's::
::Sango nods to inside the hut and Kagome give Inuyasha a peck on the cheek and follow Sango inside::
(Inuyasha) So what did you do lecher houshi?
~*~
Inside the hut with Sango, Kagome and Shippo...
Kagome sits down near the fire, Sango sits across from her::
(Kagome) Why don't you go find Kirara Shippo? ::sets Shippo down::
(Shippo) ::grumbles:: Okay... ::walks out of the hut grumbling::
::Kagome turns and looks at Sango::
(Kagome) So what happened?
::Sango blushes::
(Kagome) You can tell me. Miroku's telling Inuyasha.
::Sango looks at Kagome shocked::
(Sango) How do you know?
::Kagome's ears twitch::
(Kagome) Hanyou hearing. It's not that strong though, but I can still hear them outside. So do you want me to try to over hear them or do you want to tell me? ::Smiles showing her canine like teeth::
(Sango) I told him
(Kagome) ::smiles:: You told him!? What'd he say!
(Sango) He said he loves me too.
::Kagome lets out a happy squeal and gives Sango a huge hug::
~*~
Outside with Inuyasha and Miroku...
(Inuyasha) ::goes off laughing:: You did that!
(Miroku) What's so funny about it? ::leans on his staff::
(Inuyasha) You...::laughing between words:: said....you...love...her! You...you...the lecherous houshi! ::lets out a burst of laughter::
::Miroku glares at the hanyou::
(Miroku) It isn't that funny. I didn't laugh like that when I found out you told Kagome.
::Inuyasha stops laughing::
(Inuyasha) Feh. ::Then winces and his ears twitch:: Well Sango just told Kagome.
~*~ Back Inside with Kagome and Sango...
Kagome had finally let her friend out of the hug. Sango rubs her arms which are soar from Kagome's tight hug.
(Kagome) Oops...Sorry 'bout that. ::looks surprised::
(Sango) It's okay ::rubs the feeling back into her arms Kagome notices red marks on Sango's arms::
(Kagome) I didn't know I could do that..... ::trails off::
::Inuyasha peeks into the hut::
(Inuyasha) What's wrong Kagome?
::Kagome and Sango turn and look at him confused::
(Kagome) How did you...
(Inuyasha) Your scent changed
::Inuyasha enters the hut and sits down beside her. Then he pulls Kagome into his lap putting his arms around her waist. Soon Miroku wandered in and sat near Sango::
(Miroku) What's wrong Kagome-chan? Inuyasha told me your scent had changed ::sets his staff down against a wall::
(Kagome) Uh...nothing...::lieing::
::Inuyasha rolls his eyes::
(Inuyasha) Liar
(Kagome) I'm not lieing.
(Inuyasha) Something's bugging you or you're afraid of something
::Kagome pulls away out of his lap and stands::
(Kagome) I said nothing is wrong with me.
::Inuyasha stands and grabs her arm as she began to turn away::
(Inuyasha) Liar
::Kagome pries his hand off her arm::
(Kagome) Osuwari
::As Inuyasha hits the ground, Kagome ran out of the hut heading for Inuyasha forest. Miroku and Sango sweat drop::
(Sango) I don't know what's bothering her. Right before Inuyasha came in she was acting weird when she realized how much strength she has now.
(Miroku) Maybe that's it.
::Inuyasha finally gets feeling back in his legs and jumps up and runs out after Kagome::
(Sango) Maybe it finally has sunk it...
(Miroku) What?
(Sango) That she's really a hanyou, not a human anymore...her life is changed forever....
~*~
Kagome ran from the hut. Using her new found speed to reach the forest without the villagers knowing what that blur was.
(Kagome) 'I can't talk about it....at least not now...'
::looks down at her hands as she slows in the forest. She walks over to a river and sits down alongside it and gazes down into the water to see her reflection::
'I do look a little like Inuyasha...my ears look a lot like his only they're black...I even have chunks of white in my hair...and my eyes changed....'
::looking down at her image::
'I'll never be able to live back in my time! I'd be a freak there!....I'm stuck here!'
::tears begin to slowly trickle down her cheeks::
'What is my family going to think!?' ::Sob:: 'I don't even know what I could do to them...look what I did to Sango!'
~*~
Inuyasha runs through the village trying to catch Kagome's scent. As soon as he found it he took off running into the forest.
(Inuyasha) 'Why is she so...ticked off?! She hasn't used the O word for weeks! Now all I did was ask her a question and she used it and took off!' ::grumbles::
::Inuyasha follows Kagome's scent through the forest, until he gets hit with the scent of her tears, he stops quickly.::
'What's wrong with her? One minute she's pissed off, the next she's crying?'
::he quietly walks over to Kagome. Kagome didn't seem to sense him but her black ears twitched, and the smell of salt water (tears) got stronger::
(Inuyasha) What's wrong Kagome?
::He sits down beside her and places a hand on her shoulder. Kagome turns and looks at him, wet tears streaming down her face::
(Kagome) oh Inuyasha! ::she sobs and crumbles against him crying into his shirt:: (AN: Thanks tai-spinark for pointing out my typo! My brain just registers stuff when I read even when it's the wrong word! lol)
(Inuyasha) ::soothingly rubs her back:: What's wrong? ::he asked again quietly::
::Kagome pulls back from Inuyasha and looks at him::
(Inuyasha) Are you hurt? ::Kagome shakes her head:: Did that damn lecher do something? ::Kagome shakes her head:: Did I do something? ::Kagome shakes her head no again and Inuyasha lets out a sigh of relief, knowing he wasn't causing Kagome's tears::
(Inuyasha) Then what's wrong? You're not hurt, nobody did anything to harm so! So why the fuck are you crying!?
(Kagome) I hurt Sango ::goes into sobs for a few minutes::
(Inuyasha) What do you mean you hurt Sango?
::Inuyasha gently brushes her hair back from her face::
(Kagome) All I did was give her a hug and I ended up almost crushing her! ::tears running down her face:: I didn't even try too! ::pauses then sobs against Inuyasha again::
(Inuyasha) ::puts his arms around the sobbing hanyou:: Sango's fine. You just need to get used to having this extra strength.... ::Kagome continues to cry:: There's something else isn't there ::pulls Kagome off of him and looks at her face and in a mocking chick voice:: What do you hate me now? ::Kagome laughs::
(Kagome) No I'm not mad at you. I just finally realized something...how am I going to live in my time?! ::wipes the tears from her face as fresh ones build up in her eyes::
(Inuyasha) I've been in your time and there weren't any problems.
(Kagome) That's because no know really know who you were...
::Inuyasha gives her a hug holding her in his arms::
(Inuyasha) We'll ask Kaede if she knows of any spells that could help
(Kagome) But what'll my family think of me?
::they were both silent for a minute::
(Inuyasha) Don't worry about it. They like me as a hanyou right? So they shouldn't have a problem with you. Though....your grandfather will probably throw those annoying non-working anti-demon scrolls at you.
::They both laugh::
(Inuyasha) So...when are you going to tell your family?
(Kagome) Soon probably I need to get back to my time for school.
(Inuyasha) Then lets go see what Kaede can do to hide those ears of yours ::smiles and flicks her right ear::
(Kagome) Oww! Hey don't do that!! ::Inuyasha laughs flicks her other ear and takes off running towards the village, Kagome running close behind him::
~*~
Miroku and Sango sit on the steps outside Kaede's hut. Kaede is inside crushing some fresh herbs she had gathered earlier that evening. Shippo was snoring nearby next to a dozing Kirara.
(Miroku) I wonder if Inuyasha has found her.
(Sango) You know them, they're probably arguing right now.
(Miroku) ::laughs:: You're probably right.
::Just then two blurs ran into the village::
(Kagome) ::screeching:: I'm going to get you for that Inuyasha!!
::Inuyasha lets out a loud laugh and Kagome catches up to him and tackles him to the ground::
(Kagome) I got you!! ::starts flicking his ears::
(Inuyasha) ::glares at Kagome:: Get off! ::pushes Kagome off him::
(Kagome) HEY! ::lands in a puddle of mud. Inuyasha laughs::
::Neither of the hanyous noticed that Sango and Miroku were watching until...::
(Sango) Are you okay Kagome?
::Kagome and Inuyasha finally notice Sango and Miroku. Kagome quickly stands and tries to wipe the mud from her body::
(Kagome) I'm alright Sango just extremely muddy right now ::glares at Inuyasha:: And I don't have any extra clothes. So I'll be stuck wearing some of Kik...
::Inuyasha glares at Kagome and stomps into Kaede's hut::
(Kagome) ::looks at Sango and Miroku:: Maybe I shouldn't have....
::Inuyasha stomps back out of Kaede's hut holding something in his hands, he flings it at Kagome::
(Inuyasha) You can wear this, can't deal with seeing you in HER old clothes.
::Kagome looks at the clothes Inuyasha had flung at her. They were similar to his only they were black and looked more feminine::
(Kagome) Where did you get these Inuyasha? ::looks over at him::
(Inuyasha) Feh. I got them for you couple days ago just never gave um to you.
(Kagome) Thanks Inuyasha ::give him a peck on the cheek grabs her bag and skips towards the hot springs, followed by Sango::
::Miroku turns and looks at Inuyasha::
(Miroku) You actually got her something? ::mock shock::
(Inuyasha) ::glares at Miroku:: Yarou (AN: Yarou means bastard lol had to put that in somewhere....Yarou...I like that word! lol)
~*~
Kagome and Sango walked together side by side heading to the hot spring. Sango glances over at her friend as they walk.
(Kagome) What Sango? I can tell you've been looking at me ::her ears twitching::
(Sango) How could you tell...oh yeah...hanyou
::Kagome flinches::
(Kagome) You make is sound like a bad thing ::depressed voice::
(Sango) I'm just used to my best friend having human senses....
(Kagome) And human strength
::They reach the spring::
(Sango) Is that why you're upset? I'm fine.
(Kagome) I know ::begins to undress then slides into the spring::
(Sango) Then why did you use Inuyasha's spell? ::sets down the bathing supplies and soon joins Kagome in the spring::
(Kagome) My life has completely changed since I became hanyou and...
(Sango) You think it's Inuyasha's fault?
::Kagome leans up against one of the smooth rocks::
(Kagome) I don't blame him but it is kinda his fault. He was the one to make the wish on the Shikkon no Tama....
(Sango) ::looks at her friend:: But if he hadn't you would have died.
::Kagome ducks under the water and comes back up shaking her head::
(Kagome) I like being a hanyou except...for getting water in my ears!
::Sango laughs as Kagome tries to knock the water from her ears::
(Kagome) ::shakes the water out:: I just don't know how my family is going to take it. My mom was never all the big on me being here most of the time. Thinking something was going to happen to me and look at me.....I'm not human anymore!
~*~
Almost an hour later, the sun is beginning to rise and Kagome and Sango are returning to the village. Kagome is wearing the outfit Inuyasha had given her. The pants weren't as baggy has his and the shirt was tighter, she wore a pair of black Vans sneakers with it not wanting to go barefoot. The two girls returned to Kaede's hut to see the guys waiting impatiently and were arguing about something...
(I was asked to try to describe Kagome's outfit better. Ok...In your mind picture Kagome in Inuyasha's outfit....now make it black.....turn the shirt into a tighter so it clings more to Kagome's form....now take the pants make then slightly tighter...now picture her wearing that with a pair of black Vans...yeah I know they used to be Adidas but I just got a wick pair of black Vans...plus I decided the Vans would look better....e-mail if ur still confused....thank kawaii monkey hanyou for the better description I might have cut something out when I made the re-writes)
(Miroku) Why not Inuyasha? You said...
(Inuyasha) I'm not a damn lecher like you!! I'm not going to go and spy on.... ::turns and notices the girls standing there and gulps::
::Sango walks over to Miroku and hits him over the head with her boomerang::
(Sango) DAMN lecher!!
::Kaede hears the noise and walks out of her hut and sees Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha. Then looks down on the ground and sees Miroku rubbing a bump on his head::
(Kaede) What did Miroku-chan do this time? ::in amused voice::
::Sango looks down and glares at Miroku::
(Sango) He was being a lecher...AGAIN!
::Kagome crosses her arms in a very Inuyasha like pose::
(Kagome) At least Inuyasha stopped him from peeking.
::Miroku stands up rubbing the new bump on his head::
(Miroku) What was that for?
(Sango) You were trying to talk Inuyasha into spying on us!
::Kaede chuckles::
(Kagome) Kaede, could Inuyasha and I speak with you about something?
(Kaede) Of course child we can speak in my hut.
::Kaede enters her hut, followed in behind by Kagome and Inuyasha::
~*~
Miroku and Sango watch as the others enter the hut. Miroku's face turning purple from holding in laughter, Sango looks over at him with an odd look on her face.
(Sango) What are you thinking?
(Miroku) ::lets out a burst of laughter:: Uhh....nothing...
::He looks at Sango without any expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth were twitching::
(Sango) LECHER! ::smacks Miroku upside the head:: Won't you ever learn? ::rolls eyes::
~*~
Kaede sits down on a mat on the floor and looks at Kagome.
(Kaede) What is it that you wanted to speak with me about?
(Inuyasha) Kagome's worried about being a hanyou in her time.
(Kagome) Is there any way for me to pass as a human in my own time? A spell or something?
::Kaede watches the two hanyous while thinking to herself::
(Inuyasha) So is there baka?! ::glares at Kaede::
::Kaede stands and walks over to a wooden chest in the corner::
(Kaede) Yes I do believe there may be a way.... ::opens the chest and pulls something out::
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A little cliffy! lol I made this a LOT longer then I was planning so be happy!! I already decided on the ending for this fic and I know a lot of ya'll won't be happy with it cuz it's going to be a HUGE cliff hanger. ::evil laugh:: Don't worry! There'll be a sequel. But you won't have to worry for awhile. There's going to be at LEAST 10 more chapters to this fic. Probably more then that. By the time this fic is done, there'll probably be something like 40 chapters total, not counting my lil authors note pages. Remember to R&R!! I love my reviews!! Lovely form of inspiration that they are! (sorry starting to get addicted to Rurouni Kenshin lol was attempting to talk like him lol) -Lor
4/17/03- I just added the re-writes it took me forever cuz I've been working on an annoying speak for History. The next chapter might be up tomorrow. So far for this chapter I've only gotten 9 reviews...seems like ya'll have been slacking off compared to the other chapters..... -Lor
AN:: I started writing this fic early. Damn unwanted inspiration!!! ::looks around and sees people confused:: I get really inspired when I listen to Inuyasha music. Especially when I listen to Every Heart, which is my favorite one right now so causes unwanted inspiration problems. So that's why I started writing this fic so bear with me my sanity is currently questionable due to all the Inuyasha music I've been listening to.
Ok in my lil update thing on Wednesday I said this would be online Thursday night. Well I had a lil insanity crisis from not understanding what someone said and it seemed like a flirting/come on thing and I sorta have a thing for the guy it's was driving me insane. So here it is!

(Kagome) So you heard him?
(Inuyasha) Un.
::Kagome turns to walk back to the village::

::Kagome turns and looks at him::
(Kagome) Huh?
::Inuyasha rolls his eyes::
(Inuyasha) You can run like I can now. But you'll probably be slower ::laughs::
(Kagome) oh, so you think I'll be slow? Race you back.
(Inuyasha) Fine but I'll be stuck waiting for you.
::The two of them get ready to run::
(Kagome) Go!

Shippo was backed into a corner. Sango and Miroku were both glaring daggers at Shippo, holding their weapons ready to attack. Out of the corner of her eye, Sango notices two blurs run to the hut and so she relaxes her boomerang.
(Sango) Inuyasha and Kagome are back.
::Miroku relaxes his staff and Shippo lets out a sigh of relief::
(Miroku) I hope Kagome-sama is alright.
::Sango and Miroku exit the hut followed by a cautious Shippo::
(Miroku) Way to go Inuyasha!
::They see Inuyasha sitting on top of Kagome pinning her down. Inuyasha and Kagome turn to see them. Then they realize what position they're in and blush a deep red. Inuyasha gets off Kagome and offers her a hand to help her stand::
(Inuyasha) Shut up Lecher! We weren't doing anything! ::growls at Miroku::
(Miroku) Oh really? ::winks::
::Sango hits Miroku in the back of the head with her boomerang as she turns to Kagome::
(Sango) Are you alright Kagome-chan?
::Kagome nods taking Inuyasha's hand and standing::
(Kagome) Yeah I think I'm okay now.
(Sango) ::Looks at her friend suspiciously:: Are you sure?
(Kagome) I'm positive ::ears twitch::
::Inuyasha puts a protective arm around Kagome's waist::
(Kagome) I'm worried about Shippo-chan though. I hear him yell.
::Sango and Miroku sweat drop as Shippo jumps into Kagome's arms::
(Shippo) They tired to hurt me! ::shakes::
(Kagome) Its okay Shippo ::rubs his back to sooth him:: What did he do?
::Sango blushes and Miroku looks at a tree::
(Inuyasha) ::smirks:: What's ya do?
(Miroku) He interrupted us ::with no hint of embarrassment::
::Kagome looks between Sango and Miroku with a look of slight shock. Inuyasha just smirked::
(Sango) We didn't really do anything! ::Shippo walked in when....
(Kagome) When what? ::smirks matching Inuyasha's::
::Sango nods to inside the hut and Kagome give Inuyasha a peck on the cheek and follow Sango inside::
(Inuyasha) So what did you do lecher houshi?
~*~
Inside the hut with Sango, Kagome and Shippo...
Kagome sits down near the fire, Sango sits across from her::
(Kagome) Why don't you go find Kirara Shippo? ::sets Shippo down::
(Shippo) ::grumbles:: Okay... ::walks out of the hut grumbling::
::Kagome turns and looks at Sango::
(Kagome) So what happened?
::Sango blushes::
(Kagome) You can tell me. Miroku's telling Inuyasha.
::Sango looks at Kagome shocked::
(Sango) How do you know?
::Kagome's ears twitch::
(Kagome) Hanyou hearing. It's not that strong though, but I can still hear them outside. So do you want me to try to over hear them or do you want to tell me? ::Smiles showing her canine like teeth::
(Sango) I told him
(Kagome) ::smiles:: You told him!? What'd he say!
(Sango) He said he loves me too.
::Kagome lets out a happy squeal and gives Sango a huge hug::
~*~
Outside with Inuyasha and Miroku...
(Inuyasha) ::goes off laughing:: You did that!
(Miroku) What's so funny about it? ::leans on his staff::
(Inuyasha) You...::laughing between words:: said....you...love...her! You...you...the lecherous houshi! ::lets out a burst of laughter::
::Miroku glares at the hanyou::
(Miroku) It isn't that funny. I didn't laugh like that when I found out you told Kagome.
::Inuyasha stops laughing::
(Inuyasha) Feh. ::Then winces and his ears twitch:: Well Sango just told Kagome.
~*~ Back Inside with Kagome and Sango...
Kagome had finally let her friend out of the hug. Sango rubs her arms which are soar from Kagome's tight hug.
(Kagome) Oops...Sorry 'bout that. ::looks surprised::
(Sango) It's okay ::rubs the feeling back into her arms Kagome notices red marks on Sango's arms::
(Kagome) I didn't know I could do that..... ::trails off::
::Inuyasha peeks into the hut::
(Inuyasha) What's wrong Kagome?
::Kagome and Sango turn and look at him confused::
(Kagome) How did you...
(Inuyasha) Your scent changed
::Inuyasha enters the hut and sits down beside her. Then he pulls Kagome into his lap putting his arms around her waist. Soon Miroku wandered in and sat near Sango::
(Miroku) What's wrong Kagome-chan? Inuyasha told me your scent had changed ::sets his staff down against a wall::
(Kagome) Uh...nothing...::lieing::
::Inuyasha rolls his eyes::
(Inuyasha) Liar
(Kagome) I'm not lieing.
(Inuyasha) Something's bugging you or you're afraid of something
::Kagome pulls away out of his lap and stands::
(Kagome) I said nothing is wrong with me.
::Inuyasha stands and grabs her arm as she began to turn away::
(Inuyasha) Liar
::Kagome pries his hand off her arm::
(Kagome) Osuwari
::As Inuyasha hits the ground, Kagome ran out of the hut heading for Inuyasha forest. Miroku and Sango sweat drop::
(Sango) I don't know what's bothering her. Right before Inuyasha came in she was acting weird when she realized how much strength she has now.
(Miroku) Maybe that's it.
::Inuyasha finally gets feeling back in his legs and jumps up and runs out after Kagome::
(Sango) Maybe it finally has sunk it...
(Miroku) What?
(Sango) That she's really a hanyou, not a human anymore...her life is changed forever....
~*~
Kagome ran from the hut. Using her new found speed to reach the forest without the villagers knowing what that blur was.
(Kagome) 'I can't talk about it....at least not now...'
::looks down at her hands as she slows in the forest. She walks over to a river and sits down alongside it and gazes down into the water to see her reflection::
'I do look a little like Inuyasha...my ears look a lot like his only they're black...I even have chunks of white in my hair...and my eyes changed....'
::looking down at her image::
'I'll never be able to live back in my time! I'd be a freak there!....I'm stuck here!'
::tears begin to slowly trickle down her cheeks::
'What is my family going to think!?' ::Sob:: 'I don't even know what I could do to them...look what I did to Sango!'
~*~
Inuyasha runs through the village trying to catch Kagome's scent. As soon as he found it he took off running into the forest.
(Inuyasha) 'Why is she so...ticked off?! She hasn't used the O word for weeks! Now all I did was ask her a question and she used it and took off!' ::grumbles::
::Inuyasha follows Kagome's scent through the forest, until he gets hit with the scent of her tears, he stops quickly.::
'What's wrong with her? One minute she's pissed off, the next she's crying?'
::he quietly walks over to Kagome. Kagome didn't seem to sense him but her black ears twitched, and the smell of salt water (tears) got stronger::
(Inuyasha) What's wrong Kagome?
::He sits down beside her and places a hand on her shoulder. Kagome turns and looks at him, wet tears streaming down her face::
(Kagome) oh Inuyasha! ::she sobs and crumbles against him crying into his shirt:: (AN: Thanks tai-spinark for pointing out my typo! My brain just registers stuff when I read even when it's the wrong word! lol)
(Inuyasha) ::soothingly rubs her back:: What's wrong? ::he asked again quietly::
::Kagome pulls back from Inuyasha and looks at him::
(Inuyasha) Are you hurt? ::Kagome shakes her head:: Did that damn lecher do something? ::Kagome shakes her head:: Did I do something? ::Kagome shakes her head no again and Inuyasha lets out a sigh of relief, knowing he wasn't causing Kagome's tears::
(Inuyasha) Then what's wrong? You're not hurt, nobody did anything to harm so! So why the fuck are you crying!?
(Kagome) I hurt Sango ::goes into sobs for a few minutes::
(Inuyasha) What do you mean you hurt Sango?
::Inuyasha gently brushes her hair back from her face::
(Kagome) All I did was give her a hug and I ended up almost crushing her! ::tears running down her face:: I didn't even try too! ::pauses then sobs against Inuyasha again::
(Inuyasha) ::puts his arms around the sobbing hanyou:: Sango's fine. You just need to get used to having this extra strength.... ::Kagome continues to cry:: There's something else isn't there ::pulls Kagome off of him and looks at her face and in a mocking chick voice:: What do you hate me now? ::Kagome laughs::
(Kagome) No I'm not mad at you. I just finally realized something...how am I going to live in my time?! ::wipes the tears from her face as fresh ones build up in her eyes::
(Inuyasha) I've been in your time and there weren't any problems.
(Kagome) That's because no know really know who you were...
::Inuyasha gives her a hug holding her in his arms::
(Inuyasha) We'll ask Kaede if she knows of any spells that could help
(Kagome) But what'll my family think of me?
::they were both silent for a minute::
(Inuyasha) Don't worry about it. They like me as a hanyou right? So they shouldn't have a problem with you. Though....your grandfather will probably throw those annoying non-working anti-demon scrolls at you.
::They both laugh::
(Inuyasha) So...when are you going to tell your family?
(Kagome) Soon probably I need to get back to my time for school.
(Inuyasha) Then lets go see what Kaede can do to hide those ears of yours ::smiles and flicks her right ear::
(Kagome) Oww! Hey don't do that!! ::Inuyasha laughs flicks her other ear and takes off running towards the village, Kagome running close behind him::
~*~
Miroku and Sango sit on the steps outside Kaede's hut. Kaede is inside crushing some fresh herbs she had gathered earlier that evening. Shippo was snoring nearby next to a dozing Kirara.
(Miroku) I wonder if Inuyasha has found her.
(Sango) You know them, they're probably arguing right now.
(Miroku) ::laughs:: You're probably right.
::Just then two blurs ran into the village::
(Kagome) ::screeching:: I'm going to get you for that Inuyasha!!
::Inuyasha lets out a loud laugh and Kagome catches up to him and tackles him to the ground::
(Kagome) I got you!! ::starts flicking his ears::
(Inuyasha) ::glares at Kagome:: Get off! ::pushes Kagome off him::
(Kagome) HEY! ::lands in a puddle of mud. Inuyasha laughs::
::Neither of the hanyous noticed that Sango and Miroku were watching until...::
(Sango) Are you okay Kagome?
::Kagome and Inuyasha finally notice Sango and Miroku. Kagome quickly stands and tries to wipe the mud from her body::
(Kagome) I'm alright Sango just extremely muddy right now ::glares at Inuyasha:: And I don't have any extra clothes. So I'll be stuck wearing some of Kik...
::Inuyasha glares at Kagome and stomps into Kaede's hut::
(Kagome) ::looks at Sango and Miroku:: Maybe I shouldn't have....
::Inuyasha stomps back out of Kaede's hut holding something in his hands, he flings it at Kagome::
(Inuyasha) You can wear this, can't deal with seeing you in HER old clothes.
::Kagome looks at the clothes Inuyasha had flung at her. They were similar to his only they were black and looked more feminine::
(Kagome) Where did you get these Inuyasha? ::looks over at him::
(Inuyasha) Feh. I got them for you couple days ago just never gave um to you.
(Kagome) Thanks Inuyasha ::give him a peck on the cheek grabs her bag and skips towards the hot springs, followed by Sango::
::Miroku turns and looks at Inuyasha::
(Miroku) You actually got her something? ::mock shock::
(Inuyasha) ::glares at Miroku:: Yarou (AN: Yarou means bastard lol had to put that in somewhere....Yarou...I like that word! lol)
~*~
Kagome and Sango walked together side by side heading to the hot spring. Sango glances over at her friend as they walk.
(Kagome) What Sango? I can tell you've been looking at me ::her ears twitching::
(Sango) How could you tell...oh yeah...hanyou
::Kagome flinches::
(Kagome) You make is sound like a bad thing ::depressed voice::
(Sango) I'm just used to my best friend having human senses....
(Kagome) And human strength
::They reach the spring::
(Sango) Is that why you're upset? I'm fine.
(Kagome) I know ::begins to undress then slides into the spring::
(Sango) Then why did you use Inuyasha's spell? ::sets down the bathing supplies and soon joins Kagome in the spring::
(Kagome) My life has completely changed since I became hanyou and...
(Sango) You think it's Inuyasha's fault?
::Kagome leans up against one of the smooth rocks::
(Kagome) I don't blame him but it is kinda his fault. He was the one to make the wish on the Shikkon no Tama....
(Sango) ::looks at her friend:: But if he hadn't you would have died.
::Kagome ducks under the water and comes back up shaking her head::
(Kagome) I like being a hanyou except...for getting water in my ears!
::Sango laughs as Kagome tries to knock the water from her ears::
(Kagome) ::shakes the water out:: I just don't know how my family is going to take it. My mom was never all the big on me being here most of the time. Thinking something was going to happen to me and look at me.....I'm not human anymore!
~*~
Almost an hour later, the sun is beginning to rise and Kagome and Sango are returning to the village. Kagome is wearing the outfit Inuyasha had given her. The pants weren't as baggy has his and the shirt was tighter, she wore a pair of black Vans sneakers with it not wanting to go barefoot. The two girls returned to Kaede's hut to see the guys waiting impatiently and were arguing about something...
(I was asked to try to describe Kagome's outfit better. Ok...In your mind picture Kagome in Inuyasha's outfit....now make it black.....turn the shirt into a tighter so it clings more to Kagome's form....now take the pants make then slightly tighter...now picture her wearing that with a pair of black Vans...yeah I know they used to be Adidas but I just got a wick pair of black Vans...plus I decided the Vans would look better....e-mail if ur still confused....thank kawaii monkey hanyou for the better description I might have cut something out when I made the re-writes)
(Miroku) Why not Inuyasha? You said...
(Inuyasha) I'm not a damn lecher like you!! I'm not going to go and spy on.... ::turns and notices the girls standing there and gulps::
::Sango walks over to Miroku and hits him over the head with her boomerang::
(Sango) DAMN lecher!!
::Kaede hears the noise and walks out of her hut and sees Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha. Then looks down on the ground and sees Miroku rubbing a bump on his head::
(Kaede) What did Miroku-chan do this time? ::in amused voice::
::Sango looks down and glares at Miroku::
(Sango) He was being a lecher...AGAIN!
::Kagome crosses her arms in a very Inuyasha like pose::
(Kagome) At least Inuyasha stopped him from peeking.
::Miroku stands up rubbing the new bump on his head::
(Miroku) What was that for?
(Sango) You were trying to talk Inuyasha into spying on us!
::Kaede chuckles::
(Kagome) Kaede, could Inuyasha and I speak with you about something?
(Kaede) Of course child we can speak in my hut.
::Kaede enters her hut, followed in behind by Kagome and Inuyasha::
~*~
Miroku and Sango watch as the others enter the hut. Miroku's face turning purple from holding in laughter, Sango looks over at him with an odd look on her face.
(Sango) What are you thinking?
(Miroku) ::lets out a burst of laughter:: Uhh....nothing...
::He looks at Sango without any expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth were twitching::
(Sango) LECHER! ::smacks Miroku upside the head:: Won't you ever learn? ::rolls eyes::
~*~
Kaede sits down on a mat on the floor and looks at Kagome.
(Kaede) What is it that you wanted to speak with me about?
(Inuyasha) Kagome's worried about being a hanyou in her time.
(Kagome) Is there any way for me to pass as a human in my own time? A spell or something?
::Kaede watches the two hanyous while thinking to herself::
(Inuyasha) So is there baka?! ::glares at Kaede::
::Kaede stands and walks over to a wooden chest in the corner::
(Kaede) Yes I do believe there may be a way.... ::opens the chest and pulls something out::
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A little cliffy! lol I made this a LOT longer then I was planning so be happy!! I already decided on the ending for this fic and I know a lot of ya'll won't be happy with it cuz it's going to be a HUGE cliff hanger. ::evil laugh:: Don't worry! There'll be a sequel. But you won't have to worry for awhile. There's going to be at LEAST 10 more chapters to this fic. Probably more then that. By the time this fic is done, there'll probably be something like 40 chapters total, not counting my lil authors note pages. Remember to R&R!! I love my reviews!! Lovely form of inspiration that they are! (sorry starting to get addicted to Rurouni Kenshin lol was attempting to talk like him lol) -Lor
4/17/03- I just added the re-writes it took me forever cuz I've been working on an annoying speak for History. The next chapter might be up tomorrow. So far for this chapter I've only gotten 9 reviews...seems like ya'll have been slacking off compared to the other chapters..... -Lor
