Not Forever

First Fan Fic

I don't hate this fic. In fact I love it. I just hate the format I have it written in. The format is totally annoying, so I'm slowly working on changing all the chapters to a more normal format changing as little as possible so then the fic will somewhat stay true to how it began. The fic will look weird for a lil while as I can the format around, this chapter and the rest of the new ones will be in the more normal format. So if you go through reading the fic, you'll notice the skipping between the normal format and the old one.

Check out my newest Fan Fics, Hanging by a Moment and Skull and Crossbones!

Sorry it took so long to update! I've been busy with school, and last month busy with school and working. Plus I had EVIL writers block. But that's gone now!! Uh and yeah this chapter will look sorta weird. The new chapter is in the new format but the re-cap from chapter 26 is still in the old....yeah I know I need to find time to work on changing the format

Remember to R&R!

Chapter 27

Returning to the Present

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Re-cap)

(Higurashi) You look so kawaii!! ::she said as she got up to tweak her daughter's ears. Once the tweaking got out of her system she returned to her chair::

(Kagome) Kawaii? ::this was not the reaction she had been expecting::

(Higurashi) From how you two were acting I thought it was going to be something terrible!

(Inuyasha) ::finally finding his voice:: You're not angry at me?

(Higurashi) Why would I be? ::a huge smile still plastered on her face:: You saved my daughter, she has those cute little ears now, and you're to be my son in law! I couldn't be mad at you for that. Now I'll definitely get grandchildren with those adorable ears!

::After that she went off on how she couldn't wait for grandchildren and how adorable Kagome looked now. The two hanyous exchanged a glance before simultaneously sweat dropping::

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other then back at Mrs. Higurashi. Kagome's ears twitched rapidly at the high pitched voice her mother was talking in; Inuyasha had his ears flat against his head. She sighed and looked at her mother, "Uh...Oka-san I uh we're going to go uh ummm.......uh," she gave Inuyasha a desperate look hoping that he would be able to come up with a reason that they could escape. "We're going to go fine...Souta...yeah Souta! He'll probably love to fine out that Kagome's a hanyou now." Mrs. Higurashi smiled, "Oh that's nice. Souta should be on his way home from soccer practice right now, so why don't you both just....wait....here...," she wasn't able to completely finish her sentence. "Come on Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she quickly got up from her spot on Inuyasha's lap, pulling him up after her. "We'll be back for dinner!" she yelled back as she and Inuyasha rushed out of the front door.

Once they were down the shrine steps and walking along the street, Inuyasha broke the silence, "No offence Kags, but your Oka-san can be really creepy." Kagome's eyes lit up, she looked up at him with a huge smile on her face. Inuyasha looked blind sided, "Uh....what?" "You called me Kags!" she chirped, continuing to smile. He looked away focusing his eyes on the houses they were passing, a slight blush appearing on his face. "It's soo cute for you to have a nickname for me!" she stopped to give him a quick kiss. Inuyasha was started for a split second before he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her close against him. Kagome smiled into the kiss as she put her arms around his neck as they moved into the shadows of a large willow tree. Inuyasha slowly slid his tongue along her bottom lip, asking for entrance.

Before Kagome could comply, the two hanyous heard a voice nearby yell, "Ahh! Get a room!" Kagome and Inuyasha quickly pulled apart, creating a three foot gap between them. A dark blush covered both of their faces. their eyes adverted from one another. Kagome's eyes widened as she realized who the voice belonged to, "That was Souta!" she whispered to Inuyasha, so only his ears would be able to pick up her voice. Then she called out in a louder voice, "Where are you ya little brat!?" Souta stepped out from behind a Sakura tree to the couple's right. In the light he suddenly noticed his sister's new appearance, a large smile appeared on his face with his eyes lit up. "Ni-chan! You're a hanyou like Inuyasha!" he yelled as he ran to hug his now, demonic sister, "And Inuyasha's with you! COOL!"

Kagome pried Souta off her and looked directly at him, "You can't go around telling everyone that I'm a hanyou." Souta frowned with a look of disappointment on his face, "But how are ya going to keep it a secret? You have Inuyasha's ears, you don't look like a human anymore." Kagome sighed before she responded, "There's a spell I can use. But I don't have the energy to cast it right now." "Does Oka-san know?! Wha bout Ojji-san?!" Souta asked quickly. Kagome couldn't help but smile, at the moment Souta looked like he just discovered that Christmas was coming early that year.

"Your Oka-san already knows, kid," Inuyasha told Souta ruffling his hair. "Lets go before some moron starts bugg'n me or Kagome bout our ears." "Can ya carry me on your back like do you for Ni-chan!?" Inuyasha shrugged, "Sure kid climb on." Kagome grinned as she watched her future mate get down on his haunches so her little brother could scramble onto his back. 'He's going to be a great father someday,' she thought to herself as she took his clawed hand in hers. It would have been a perfect moment for the hanyou. They almost looked like a family standing there on the sidewalk, the only problem was Souta, who was chanting, "Giddy-up Inu brother!" Kagome and Inuyasha smiled at one another as they started to walk back to the shrine, hand in hand, their hair glimmering in the moonlight.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, sunlight drifted through the white lace curtains on Kagome's bedroom window. Everything looked serene with Inuyasha laying on the bed, with soft cream blanket covering him, a content smile on his lips. He had a hand resting behind his head, the other on his stomach. Inuyasha's eyes were closed with a soft, content look of peace on his face as his ears swiveled around on his head.

While things were all gentle and relaxed for Inuyasha, it was everything but for Kagome. She had been running around the house in a frenzy trying to get ready for school since 6:30 am. It was already 7:35 am by the time she ran downstairs into the kitchen. "Oka-san have you seen my science book anywhere?!" she asked impatiently. Mrs. Higurashi smiled at her daughter as she turned away from the stove, "It was on your desk yesterday, dear." Kagome turned to go sprint upstairs, when her mother said, "Breakfast is ready now. Come and grab a bite of toast before you run upstairs. Oh, and don't forget to wake Inuyasha, let him know that there's plenty of ramen for him." "Hai, Oka-san," Kagome said with a nod. She grabbed a slice of toast, put a bit of strawberry jam on it and ran upstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha sat up grumbling, "What the fuck is all that noise?" He got up form the bed and walked to the doorway. The constant beeping continued; trying to remain calm and not destroy anything. Inuyasha grumbled annoyed and ran a clawed hand through his hair. Not even a minute later he heard Kagome scream, "Souta! Turn off your alarm clock already and wake up! You'll be late for school!" Seconds later he saw her running straight towards him shoveling a slice of toast into her mouth. 'She already cast the concealing spell?' Inuyasha thought to himself as the infernal noise came to a stop.

"What are you doing?" he asked her as Kagome slowed down in front of him. "I'm TRYING to get ready for school," Kagome spat at him as she tried to push him out of her way, which only resulted in her falling onto her ass. Inuyasha sighed and offered her a hand to help her stand. "Thanks, but I'm going to be late!" Kagome said. As soon as she was back on her feet she rushed passed him. Inuyasha turned to see her shove a book into a dark green bag and rush to run a brush through her hair. (AN: LOL I think that rhymed....) "And what am I suppose to do all day?" he grumbled following her, "Eat tons of ramen, and help my Oka-san plan our wedding." Kagome ran into the kitchen and grabbed another slice of toast while slipping the strap of her bag over her left shoulder. "I'll be back around 2:30."

After giving Inuyasha a quick kiss she dashed out of the house, leaving him standing at the bottom of the stairs, a look of confusion on his face. 'How much work could be involved in planning a wedding? All you need is a priest,' he thought walking into the kitchen. Stacks upon stacks of magazines, books and other wedding related things were on top of the kitchen table. "Inuyasha, just in time for some ramen!" Mrs. Higurashi said handing him a large white dish filled with oriental ramen.

"You can help plan the wedding while Kagome is at school!" Mrs. Higurashi's sudden extreme happiness frightened the poor Inu hanyou. "Let's see we'll need some invitations, a tux for you....ummm you'll need a best man and a tux for him. Kagome will need a gown of course, but I'll take her to buy one. Uh, some folding chairs, a cake of course, oh and can't forget the caterer!" Inuyasha desperately wanted to back away and run from the over excited middle aged woman, but he held his ground. "Ummm...what's a tux?" "Oh! Have you gotten her a ring yet?" 'Finally, something I know what she's talking about.' "It's back in the Feudal Era." Mrs. Higurashi frowned looking slightly disappointed, "Oh...well you go and get it. I'll just go out and try to find a good caterer and a few other things. We'll need Kagome here to do a lot of the planning." Inuyasha nodded and headed outside to the well house.

THE END

LOL Just joking!! Not over yet! HEHEHEHE

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome walked into the school's main entrance, nervously fidgeting with her hair. 'What if the spell gives out?' she kept saying over and over in her mind. Her shoes softly tapped on the cool tiles floor as she walked towards her first class. Even though she had been paranoid earlier, worried about being late; she actually arrived at school ten minutes before the bell.

"Kagome-san?" a voice yelled, causing Kagome to wince. 'I should've stayed home with Inuyasha to get used to the heightened senses thing.' She stopped and turned to see Hojo running towards her. After forcing a fake smile, Kagome opened her mouth to speak, "Hello Hojo." Hojo flashed her a wide smile, "You weren't at school very long before you were absent again. Are you still sick?" he said all in a single breath. "I'm feeling a lot better now. It's kind of you to ask though." 'You can go away already!' she finished in her mind. "Want to see a movie with me after school tomorrow?" he asked suddenly. "Uh well..." Kagome began. "Great! I'll pick you up at five!" he said just as the warning bell rang. "Got to get to class. See ya later!" Hojo said with a wave before he ran off. "Kami he irritates me all the wall back to the Feudal Era!" Kagome fumed.

"Kagome! Did Hojo-kun just ask you out on a date again?!" Emi said, suddenly appearing with Ayami and Mai. Kagome sighed, "Hai." "You're soo lucky! He's always had eyes for you!" "You said yes of course, right?" Mai said demanding an answer. "He didn't give me a chance to tell him no," Kagome said as they headed off to class. "WHAT!? What possible reason do you have not to go on a date with him," Emi screeched making Kagome wince noticeably. "You alright?" Ayami asked concerned. "Uh..." Kagome blinked rapidly trying to come up with a lie, "I just have a headache this morning." "oh." "Well!?" Emi demanded, wanting a answer immediately. "Oh look my classroom, see ya at lunch!" Kagome said as she split form the group. "What's with her?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome moved through the crowded hallway carefully trying to get through as quickly as possible. She glanced around, hoping that none of her friends would pop up to bug her with questions. Luckily, she was able to get to her bio class without her friends spotting her. 'Thank Kami,' she thought as she slipped into her seat. "Class settle down!" the teacher said loudly walking into the room. "Today we will be dissecting squid." "Eeeewwww!" "Cool!" The teacher chuckled, the looks on the students' faces ranged from total disgust to excitement. "Divide into pairs and get out the equipment I have listed on the front board. I'll com around and give each pair a squid."

'This totally sucks,' Kagome thought as she stood. "Hey, Kagome? Want to be partners?" she turned to see Ryokou standing nearby. "Sure." The two went over to the lab table near the back window and began to set the equipment up. "We need to find the heart, ink sac, the pen and...." Ryokou's voice trailed off as the teacher had just set a large squid on the try in front of her. "This is so totally disgusting!" "Shouldn't be that bad." Ryokou looked at her, "Not that bad? Little Kagome who refused to dissect a worm in seventh grade says this shouldn't be that bad?" Kagome shrugged and picked up the scalpel. "Where are we supposed to cut first?" 'I want this to be done with already,' she thought. "This really reeks," she said to herself quietly.

"Ummm a straight three inch cut in the uh....mantle," Ryokou answered reading through the lab sheet the teacher had passed out. Making the cut caused the smell to increase ten fold. "Dang that thing smells," Ryokou said looking at the squid. "Hey maybe this won't be too bad after all!" Ryokou began to poke around at the squids innards with a metal stick. "Kagome?" she said looking up. "You alright?" 'No I'm not alright! I'm still not used to the heightened senses, and this thing bloody reeks!' "I'm fine...." and quietly added, "In your dreams." Kagome set down the scalpel and slowly closed her eyes. "Uh....Sensei..." Ryokou didn't have time to finish before Kagome fell over in a dead faint. "Out of the way! Someone get the nurse!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha jumped out of the well and landed on the grass with only the sound of brushing air. 'Something's off...' His ears twitched as he sniffed the air, "Kouga!" And with that he rushed off towards the village; one hand on the hilt of the Tetsusiaga. 'I should've just killed that yarou years ago!' he thought angrily as he burst into the village, frightening a group of villagers that were working in the nearby fields. He sniffed the air once again, so he would be able to follow the wolf's scent. 'He's nearby...in the village....' his ears swiveled around, listening for his foe.

Inuyasha walked further into the village and came to a halt outside of Kaede's hut. "Get out here wimpy wolf!" he yelled as he unsheathed the Tetsusiaga. A minute later Kouga stepped out of the hurt and said with a sneer, "I was waiting for you to show up dog turd."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
