Disclaimer: Does anyone even read these things? Oh well, might as well get it over with. Ahm I.DO.NOT.OWN.THESE.CHARACTERSthank you.

Authors note: Wow! I am seriously overwhelmed. You guys are awesome! Ok. I'm gonna take a sec here and answer a few questions. The green blip that Cerebro picked up was Shippo. Yes Kagome is a mutant. Had she not been dragged down the well, her latent miko powers probably would have never manifested. What her mutant powers are though.well you'll just have to wait and see. As to how I came up with this story. Well, I was watching Inuyasha and of course he goes running off to Kikyo.again. for like the millionth time. I mean come on, the stupid corpse is in every episode somewhere. Even if she's only just mentioned Inuyasha has a fucking coronary. Sheesh. So anyway. I got to thinking that although I may have to put up with this shit in real life I didn't in fanfiction's, and that, conceivably, I could match Kagome up with anyone. So I made a list of all the requirements I would want in a match for Kagome. And after running through all the male characters from every anime, cartoon, movie, book, and video game Kurt came out the winner. And personally I think it works wonderfully. Right then. Onward brave soldiers!

Chapter three: Demon's and Tales told

Shippo crept stealthily up the stairs, walking carefully on his padded feet so as to make absolutely no noise. Once near the door to the guest bedroom he flattened himself against the wall. Sliding against it, closer and closer to the opening. He stopped once he reached it and used his ultra cool demon hearing to scout for any movement inside the room. He didn't hear anything but figured he'd better take a peek..just in case. Slowly he eased around the frame of the door. Ah! There he was, sprawled out on a spare futon, Kirara sleeping peacefully on his rising and falling chest. Shippo knew that Miroku wasn't in the room. He'd gotten up earlier to see the rare beauty of the early morning'. That meant he was peeking on Sango taking a shower through the bathroom window. Shippo grinned. Perfect.

Crouching down on all fours he carefully crawled until he was right at the end of the futon. His body tensed, ready to spring. Fluffy tail waving back and forth in anticipation. He lunged, at his unsuspecting prey!

BAMF!

And landed tangled up in Kurt's blanket.

"Ah! Hey, let me out of here! I can't see! Help! I'm stuck!" Shippo finally found the edge of the blanket and lifted it up a little. Then from the relative hidden safety of the blanket he scanned around the room for his missing target.

"And just vhat did you zink you vere doing?" An amused voice asked from Shippo's left. Turning he saw Kurt, perched on the dresser, with Kirara sitting on his head smiling down at him.

"How'd you do that?" Shippo asked curiously. Kurt grinned.

"Vhat, you mean zis." BAMF!

Now he was laying on the bed! Shippo's eye's became huge and starry.

"Oh wow! That's so neat! I can't do anything like that. I mean I can turn into this big pink balloon. I wonder why it's always pink, I hate pink? And I have my tops and mushrooms, but I can't do anything like that!" Shippo stopped his rambling to stare at Kurt suspiciously. "Are you sure your not a demon?" he asked.

Kurt laughed. "Nein. I am no more a demon zan you are."

Shippo was eyeing him strangely. "Uh.Kurt, I am a demon."

Heretofore unknown protective instincts blazed through Kurt like wildfire. Shippo reminded him so much of himself as a kid. He'd gotten a lot of abuse for his appearance and he'd be damned if he would let it happen to Shippo too!

"Who told you zat you vere a demon?" Kurt asked delicately. Trying to keep the growl out of his throat, and the urge to hunt down the perpetrators and show them what a real demon was like clamped tightly shut.

"My parents." Shippo said, as if speaking to someone who wasn't quite all there in the head.

Mien Gott, his own parents!' Kurt was mad now. How could someone do such a thing. Calling their own child a demon. And Shippo believed them!

"Listen to me Shippo, you are not a demon no matter vhat anyone say's! Demon's do not exist."

Shippo just stared at him. Then cocked his head to one side. "Did your mother drop you on your head when you were a baby or somthin'" The kitsune asked this rather seriously, as he was beginning to wonder about his new friends sanity. Demons not existing, yeah right!

Kurt blinked. "Nein, she dropped me off a bridgeVait! Zat's not the point. What I'm saying is zat" But Shippo tuned him out. There had to be a way to make Kurt see the truth. He sat down in Kurt's rumpled blankets, fidgeting with his tail and absently gazing around the room as if for clues..wait.

"Kirara!" he cried joyously, cutting Kurt off mid rant.

"Vas?" "Mew?"

"Come on, Kirara will show you that demons do exist!" Shippo grabbed Kurt's hand and dragged him down the stairs and out into the yard.

"Come on Kirara, show him!"

"Mew!" and with that the cute little two tailed kitten jumped off of Kurt's head and landed gracefully in front of them. Then in a whirl of flames transformed. Into a big kitty. A big flaming kitty. A big flaming kitty with really big teeth!

Shippo ran forward and hugged Kirara's leg. "See Kurt! I told you. I told you Demon's were real."

WHUMP

"Kurt?" Shippo turned back around. "Hey! Wake up. This is no time for a nap!"

++++++++++++

"Kurt, are you ok?" Gentle fingers combed through his hair. Turning his head into the caress and smiling, he opened one golden eye.

"Ja, I'm fine." Then, with much reluctance, since he would have preferred things stayed just like that for a while. He sat up. Memories coming back in a rush. He ran a hand through his hair and looked up a Kagome.

"Vas zat real?"

She sighed. "Yes. I think it would be best if you heard the whole story. Come on lets go and get some snacks, this could take a while. Shippo go find Sango and Miroku please." Shippo nodded and sped off, Kirara at his heels. Kagome watched them go with a fond smile, then turning back to Kurt she motioned for him to follow. Kurt got up from his place on the sofa and trailed her into the kitchen.

"He really didn't mean to scare you. He's a really sweet kid, but, well he doesn't really understand some things." Seeing Kurt's confused look she just patted him on the shoulder. "You'll understand in a little bit."

Together they gathered enough snacks for everyone, even by Kurt's standards, and returned to the living room. Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and Kirara soon arrived and they all took a seat, although Kurt kept eyeing Kirara suspiciously. After the mornings incident was explained, they all began to tell their stories. Kurt became more and more fascinated. Then after everyone was done. They all sat and waited to see how Kurt would take this. Would he hate them? Think they were weird? Call the nice men in white coats?

Kurt laughed. Then he got up and patted Shippo on the shoulder. "You vere right. Demon's do exist. I stand corrected." Then he picked up Kirara and hugged her. She mewed and jumped back to her original perch atop his head. Kurt tried to look up at her but failed, so he shrugged and, sitting back down, turned to Kagome.

"Does zat well still vork? Could you go through it now?"

Kagome cringed. "Yeah I could, but there's most likely a homicidal dog-demon just waiting at the other end to yell at me." Then with a sigh, she thought about it some more. "Although, I should probably let him know that we're going to be gone for a while so I can train. And even if he is a jerk he's still my friend and deserves to at least know."

Kurt watched her in confusion, as the others brooked an immediate protest.

"Kagome-chan you can't go alone!"

Kagome turned to them and grinned. "Oh I'm not going alone. Kurt's coming with me. What better way for him to believe us than to see it first hand. Come on Kurt!" And with that she grabbed his hand and raced out of the house and to the well.

Kurt looked down into the blackness at the bottom of the well. "Are you sure about zis?"

Kagome nodded. "Sure. Done it hundred's of times. Now you have to hold on to me really tight ok. And don't let go."

Kurt grinned and wrapped his arms around her waist. Loving the feel of having her in his arms. His tail, of it's own accord, wrapped around her waist.

"Right, let's go!" and together they jumped in.

Kurt looked around himself in amazement as they fell through, what looked like, a purple light. Suddenly they slowed to a gentle stop at the bottom of the well. He looked up and saw a clear blue sky, instead of the well house roof. It had really worked!

"Bitch, I know your down there! I can smell you. Get up here, now!" A harsh, loud and angry voice demanded.

Kagome sighed. "Sit."

WHAM!!

Muffled cursing floated down to them from above.

Kagome motioned for him to follow and they began to climb some vines that had grown down the side of the well.

At the top Kurt saw a man, maybe a few years older than him. It was hard to tell. With long white hair. Dog-ears, fangs, claws, and burning yellow eye's.

"What the fuck did you do that for you stupid..who the fuck are you!" the last being directed at Kurt. Kurt grinned at Inuyasha, revealing his fangs. You'd almost think he'd done it deliberately. Inuyasha snarled.

"What the fuck are you? You don't smell like a demon, but you sure as hell look like one."

"I'm a mutant. My name is Kurt Wagner."

"I don't care who or what the fuck you are, in about a minute your gonna be in two pieces!" With that said, Inuyasha lunged forward with amazing speed. Before Kagome could open her mouth to deliver the longest line of sits in history, ancient or otherwise. Inuyasha slammed into thin air. There was a bright flash of light and a bang. When they looked up, it was to see a smoking Inu-hanyou lying on his back five feet away.

"Oh right, the barrier." Kagome mumbled. Then shaking out of her train of thought she called to the demi demon.

"Anyway, I just came to tell you that the others and I are going away so I can train my miko powers, I'll come back to finish the jewel as soon as I can."

"Wait you bitch! I never said you could.."

"Bye Inuyasha!" and with that she and Kurt jumped back into the well and were gone from Feudal Japan in a flash of light.

Inuyasha's bellow of rage could be heard all the way to the village.

++++++++

"Does he always talk to you like zat?" Kurt asked with a frown as they climbed out of the well back in Kagome's time.

"Who, Inuyasha? Ya, he's always called me bitch or wench or something else even less pleasant. Why?" she turned to look at him in curiosity.

"I just did not like it when he spoke to you zat way." He shrugged. Kagome eyed him for a moment then smiled.

"Thank you. But you shouldn't worry about it, it's just the way Inuyasha has always been." She stepped closer to him and raised her hand as if she were going to touch his face, then realizing what she was doing she lowered it quickly while a huge blush spread across her face. Before she could retract her hand completely though Kurt's tail wrapped around her wrist. They both blinked at it.

"Ersorry about zat. Sometimes it seems to have a mind of it's own." Kurt pried his tail loose then stared at it suspiciously. Kagome giggled.

"It's ok I don't mind."

Kurt looked up from his tail but whatever he was going to say died on his tongue. Their eye's met and held. They just stood there and stared into each others eye's, entranced.

"What are you guy's doing?"

They broke eye contact and looked in opposite directions. Kagome's' face was very red. And for once Kurt was very thankful his face was covered in dark blue fur. It hide blushes very well.

Turning he spotted Shippo standing in the doorway, eyeing them both suspiciously.

"What were you two doin'?" Shippo questioned again.

"Ah, well..oh look it's almost time for dinner. We'd better get going Kurt, don't want to be late."

"Oh, ja, mustn't be late." And with that he grabbed Kagome around the waist.

BAMF!

Shippo was left blinking into the suddenly empty well house. Shrugging and chocking it up to grown up weirdness, Shippo turned and walked back to the house. After all, they were having oden tonight, and he'd better hurry if he wanted any before Kagome ate it all.

Authors note: I know I said that I wouldn't update till Monday but I had some extra time on my hands and decided to write, so here it is. Sorry it isn't as long as the last one. I promise to make the next chapter longer. As far as the remark about Kurt's mom dropping him off a bridge. I believe I remember hearing that Mystique(Kurt's real mom) did that. But even if it never happened it's still a funny statement. Let me know how you liked the chapter.
