IT'S A WHAT!

I STILL DO NOT OWN INU-TACHI BUT... I DO own Kaori!

LAST CHAPTER. I wanted to end it at chapter 4 but I didn't 'cos I STILL hadn't written any SanMir. But this has two endings, so... HEHE... you get to choose your ending.

"Hot springs are so enjoyable, don't you think!" Kagome chanted excitedly for about the fifth time. She stopped at Inuyasha's silence, thinking he'd just gotten annoyed at her. "Inuyasha?" She looked straight at his face for once. She wanted him to reveal his feelings to her. Even if they hadn't really gotten "married" (I can't imagine them walking down the aisle as people point and go "DOGGY EARS! DOGGY EARS!") they'd still mated, so she thought of it that way. Three more days, three more days... in three days, they would leave the Holy Land. Then, she'd show her family... and who else would she show?

"Yeah, really... fun..." Inuyasha wasn't as rude as he used to be, but he did tend to not show much enthusiasm. Kagome often wondered if it was her fault. Even if he was rude before... well... that, he was always more bouncy than this. Okay, Inuyasha was never bouncy- but he was never depressed, either. Nor did he even look or seem the slightest bit depressed... it really did worry her.

"Tell me what's wrong," Kagome said. "I don't meant to bug you or anything, but Sango's got this thing planned for us and all- and what do we do?"

"Nothing's wrong, but that's just the thing," he told her. "It's perfect. I just don't feel like I deserve you, and to add to this particular moment, we're... in a hot spring together, and..."

"...And it's been much worse." Kagome reminded him. "Well, not worse, just, worse on the awkward situations scale-" She stopped in her tracks, realizing she was only making a baka of herself. Inuyasha got the hint and knew what she meant, anyway. Then she figured out that he got it, and put her arms around her torso. There wasn't a big need, it would just remind her of Miroku too much if she didn't.

Kagome realized something very important at that moment. "Inuyasha, I know what you are worried about..."

"Then what is it?" He looked straight at her, angry. Not angry at her... angry at the situation he'd eventually have to face. She put her head down and looked into the water and at her reflection. The moon was right behind her.

"It's about... well, you're immortal, and I'm just-"

"I don't want to see the time when you... die," Inuyasha told her. "Even if I -"

"Dn't kill yourself,"

"I'm just saying- even if I did- I would have to see you go through it. I don't want either of us to die, I can't even bear to see Sango and Miroku die for that matter."

"Spekaing of Sango, do you have any clue on where Kohaku is?" Neither of them had seen Kohaku go with them to the Holy Land, or anything. Kohaku was just gone all of a sudden.

"Sango left him at your house, since well-"

"She coulda left Shippou, too... I mean, he is a kid..."

"Yeah, I saw her arguing with Shippou. There was no way that kid was giving up, and there was no way Sango was going to explain anything to him-"

"Inuyasha, we're getting off-topic."

"Oh, um, right." Kagome could tell he didn't want to venture there. But she had an idea. A good idea.

"Though- I have something that will cheer you up."

"So, all we have to do is...?"

"Yeah," Kagome replied, picking up the necklace. "Sango showed it to me, and told me what it could do. Apparently she bought it for us."

"Then, do it, Kagome..." Kagome looked at the necklace and put it over her and Inuyasha's head at the same time. She liked being so close to him. And she would be this close to him... for years and years to come. Joyful years. "And NOW what do we do..?" The impatient hanyou asked. The necklace wasn't doing a thing!

"Inuyasha, this is why I tell you to LISTEN when I explain things..." Kagome said. "Once I'm done with this, I'll be out of miko energy. I'm doing this for us."

"You'll still be able to use the well... right?"

"Of course, we wished that with the jewel."

"Okay." Inuyasha replied, agreeing for once. Kagome held the free space of the necklace with one hand. and entwined her fingers with Inuyasha's in the other. It would work. They'd be together for the rest of their lives.

She shut her eyes, grabbed the necklace tightly, and out came a sound of, "Nngh..." She didn't pen her eyes, but she could feel the energy being sucked out of her and going into the necklace. She could feel it. She could see the blue light shining even with her eyes closed. The light suddenly quit.

It had worked.

She slowly opened her eyes. Inuyasha was staring at the necklace with worry.

"Inuyasha? Why are you worried?" She pulled the part of the necklace that was on him off, then put the whole thing around her. The female of the two connectors was supposed to wear the necklace.

"You look horrible," He said, standing up and grabbing her arm to help her up too.

"That thing totally sucked me dry! Let's just go the hut, okay? We have some more days in these grounds." She never let go of that one hand in which they were entwined. She let go of the other, but they both walked on together towards the hut they were staying in.

"Hey, Miroku..." Sango cooed, walking over to him. Shippou was with Kirara and Kaori back at their hut. They were alone, on the same hill Kagome and Inuyasha were at earlier to watch the sky.

"Yes, my dear Sango? I see you've gotten used to my name."

"I've got an answer for you."

"An answer to what?"

"Miroku, I'll bear your child."

PICK YOUR ENDING! Read on to see the humor ending, go and review to leave the ending as it is with InuKago and SanMiro.

Next thing Kagome knew, she awoke in her bed. Her alarm was beeping like crazy, and she half-expected a certain hanyou to cru . After a while of beeping, she finally picked it up and threw it out her window. If Inuyasha wasn't here, she needed to somehow remember him.

Kagome got herself dressed for school and walked down her stairs. Buuyo was following her, then she realized he must've been in her room. As she walked down the stairs she did notice that her hair seemed shorter, and even SHE seemed a little shorter. She arrived at the living room to be greeted by her family.

"Happy fifteenth birthday, Kagome!" They all shouted. Buuyo even meowed at her.

"F-fifteenth birthday? What about Inuyasha-"

"You know of the legendary hanyou?" Her grandfather asked. "Are they teaching you this in school? About how he was able to capture the Shikon Jewel with the help of a miko named Kikyou-"

"S-SSSSHHHHHUUUUUTTTT UUUPPPP!" Kagome screamed before exiting her house.

Great. She was fifteen. Had no child. Had no Inuyasha.

And Kikyou was with him. Kikyou was with HER guy.

The world was not on her side. She decided that next time she wouldn't eat so many bananas before bed.

My twist totally owns, right? Later. -the n00dle.

Yeah, I know it isn't very long. But that's okay.
