Well everyone here is yet another chapter of my great story and I once again find myself doing this at 3 AM. I'm really screwed up. Actually I really love you guys and wanted to get this chapter out to ya. I wasn't totally sure what I wanted to do in this chapter and it wasn't helping that my mind was in a dark sort of mindset. Nothing bad in my life don't worry it was just the IY fics I read that were updated seem to be at a evil part whether its Kikyo interfering with the IY/Kag relationship or something truly bad but it just messed with my ideas for this story. Luckily I got out of that and was able to write this chapter. I hope you like it but I have a feeling some of you will hate me by the end. But just this note, I have planned far ahead and if you hate me at the end of this chapter then a little bit later you'll be calling for my death. lol So enjoy.
SilentDark - Well their feelings are pretty much sorted out its just them coming out and saying it. I'll be saying this at the end of the chapter but I'll say it here anyway, I'm pretty sure I've decided when and where they will admit their feelings for one another. That's only about 3-4 chapters down the line if you must know. Sorry that the tail wasn't on eBay, you'll just have to check back every now and then. As for the amount of IY episodes, according to TVTome.com there are 140 out in Japan. Last time I check they've only subbed up to 135. You're a Sess fan so you might like this little info. If you can download episodes 134 and 135. The title is "The Woman Who Loved Sesshomaru." (Parts 1&2 respectively). I found this quite interesting so I downloaded it, now if only I'd sit down and watch it. I've seen about half so far.
Josh Potter - I am well aware of the demon instincts aspect but I'm not quite sure if I'll use it and if I do I'm unsure about how'll I'll use them. Only time will tell.
Tessie-fanfic - that's so good to hear. As for me stopping, I don't see that anytime soon. This story will come to an end eventually but my writing will not. I've been into writing fanfics for about the last 3 years. This is my first IY fanfic though.
Burnsbabe - I wouldn't call you stupid but maybe impatient. lol. But as you and many other people asked, the next chapter is here.
KenshinOtaku - About my sleeping, you see the thing is, I don't usually write during the day. Why? Who knows, I'm just a little backwards like that but I've always enjoyed the night much better. (no I'm not a vampire but that is a topic of another story idea I have :) ) As for when I have time to sleep, thanks to me being a college student yet, I don't have school until Jan. 12th so I sleep in every day til almost 2 pm. As for the japanese, I know only a small bit but I do know how to say Ja ne. So ja ne.
Takerus Lost Angel - Yes a really kiss, I liked that too. The sunset thing is real nice for fanfics, if only I could do that in real life. But to do that I'd need to get a girlfriend. Whoops to much personal info there. BTW, what does Bonne Annee mean? Is that happy new years in another language? I myself celebrated bringing in the new year by reading fanfics online and writing my own.
Inushemeeko - Yep, Kag kissed IY. I like to keep you readers on your toes with surprises and just wait many more surprises are coming. And I loved having Kouga beg for mercy cause I always hated that way he talked to Kagome. So I got a little payback. lol.
Miss Queen of the World - I'm glad you liked the story. I was at first worried that people wouldn't like the plot because it seemed a little too goody-goody (as in bringing everyone back to life and such). As for continuing this forever, I don't necessarily have that planned. I do have an ending in sight but if I do get more ideas to add on I might go with it.
Well as I final note I will say that there is a slight bit of fluff here, I'm just worried that you guys and girls might not like me when your finished with this chapter.
Disclaimer: I can't say that I own IY but I do own the plot. So that's close enough for now.
Chapter 16: A Motherly Talk
It had been almost a week since Kagome and Inuyasha had kissed. The next morning had been spectacular. They had watched the sun rise but shortly after that, they only cared about each other. They had spent the next week talking and spending time with each other. Inuyasha wanted to know as much about her time as possible since he would be spending some time with her. Many of the things she had told him about, he had already seen but had never really known much about them such as cars. Before he wasn't quite sure if those had been demons, they made weird noise but didn't seem to have the scent of a demon. Inuyasha had surprised Kagome even by telling her that her time was full of demons but they seemed to be hiding and getting along well with humans. Inuyasha wasn't sure if he could see Sesshomaru living like that with all the humans around. It could be possible see as Sesshomaru would easily live to Kagome's time and far beyond it. After only a few days, Sesshomaru had left the castle with only saying farewell to his father. Once during his visit, he talked with Inuyasha for a little bit but not too long.
Kagome was walking around the castle by herself. Inuyasha was spending some time with his father. Kagome knew that the day after next they would be departing from the castle. They had been there for almost a month and she really liked the place. Inuyasha had told her that the reason for staying an extra few days was because this night would be the night of the new moon.
"Kagome," a voice called out. Kagome snapped out of her thoughts to see Inuyasha's mother in one of the gardens that Kagome had been passing.
"Good afternoon," Kagome greeted her. [I'd use a nicer greeting but I don't know IY's mother's name and I'd rather not make up a lame name for her.]
Inuyasha's mother put down her gardening tools with which she had been tending to the garden and walked over to Kagome. "Is it okay if I have a talk with you?"
"Sure," Kagome said as she took a seat on a small bench in front of the garden.
Inuyasha's mother joined Kagome on the bench. "I can tell you and my son are getting along really good," she said with a wide smile. Kagome blushed a little at this, "don't be embarrassed. I think you two make a great couple." Kagome couldn't say anything but became even redder. "What I wanted to talk to you about was that he told me he'd be spending some time in your era."
"Yes, he is," Kagome replied.
"Now from what I've learned from him, your era doesn't know much about demons. I don't think you'd be able to constantly hide his ears from everyone with a simple hat and even if you could people might notice that he doesn't have regular human ears. I don't think you want to lock him up in your house all day, do you?"
"No, not at all," Kagome quickly responded. "I guess, I hadn't thought about this that much." Kagome frowned and looked to the ground. She was so looking forward to Inuyasha coming to her time and now it seemed impossible.
"Don't get discouraged. This can still work out," she told Kagome and her spirits seemed to lift. "I can teach you a miko spell that would help disguise him. I would have liked to do this when Inuyasha was younger so that he would have been accepted by other people but I couldn't. This spell requires two things. First, you have to be a powerful enough miko. I would have been powerful enough to cast it at first but not enough to keep it up. You however are very powerful and could easily do this with it barely affecting your powers. Secondly, you need an item that can be easily enchanted and hold that enchantment. Inuyasha already has this. You can easily cast it on his necklace. The only downside to this is that your subduing spell might no longer work. If you want to keep that, you'll have to find a different item that he could wear at all times."
"Actually, I think it would be best if the subduing spell was no more," Kagome said. "It was originally put on him so I could protect myself from him since he had attacked me. I don't think it's really necessary anymore, not to mention I won't have to worry about saying the word sit back in my time. I think my friends would find it weird if when I said it, Inuyasha suddenly hit the ground." Kagome laughed a little at this as did Inuyasha's mother.
"That's good to know. But there is one danger. If Inuyasha should get made enough, his demon energy might start to overtake the spell and therefore the disguise would fail. This doesn't mean he'd become full demon just that anyone around him would see him for who he truly is."
"I should tell Inuyasha about this," Kagome said as she motioned to get up from the bench.
"No need," Inuyasha's mother responded and stopped Kagome from leaving. "I've already informed him of this. If it's okay with you, I'd like to start teaching you the spell. Hopefully, you'll have learned it before you leave here." Kagome agreed and started learning the spell right away.
*****
Later that night Kagome and Inuyasha sat once again in the Sunset Garden. They had come to this place every night because they loved it so much. It was past sunset and Inuyasha was now human as they both sat side by side leaning against each other and laying back on the sakura tree. Inuyasha looked Kagome in the eye as he spoke to her, "Kagome, I just wanted to tell you that I lo…" Inuyasha's proclamation had been stopped by Kagome placing a finger on his lips.
"Don't say it, Inuyasha," Kagome said. Inuyasha seemed slightly hurt at what Kagome was telling him and unknown to him Kagome was hurt as well. "I know what you want to say and I so much want to hear it but you've always said that your human side is weaker emotionally than your hanyou side. I want to make sure that when you tell me, you are fully ready. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I do," Inuyasha replied. He was slightly hurt that he couldn't tell her yet but he understood what she said and if he had to wait a little longer to tell her that would be fine by him. His feelings for her would always be the same. As a human, hanyou, or demon he would always love her.

As I said above, they have sorted out their feelings amongst themselves. It's just getting them to say it. I know you guys might not like that Kagome cut him off but I thought with all the sort of romantic things I mentioned in the beginning that they had done that they should say it soon. They will admit their feelings soon. Not next chapter but soon. I have a really good surprise coming in the next two chapters so I hope you like them. Well now its referral time:
