A/N: Toyed with the thought all day, and I just couldn't help it! Hope you like it, I know it's choppy and screwy, but it's still okay.

"Inuyasha, don't wander off too far," Mrs. H smiled at the half demon. Somehow, she had managed to get him into more modern clothing.

"Whatever," he growled.

He hated the clothes with a passion. They were too tight and rode up on him in places the Fire Rat kimono barely graced his skin. It was too much trouble to get them on, and he swore he'd never wear any again. Especially not the pants with the zippers. He winced as the memory of trying them on without those "boxers" things Kagome insisted he wear.

"She'll only be thirty minutes," Mrs. H reminded him. She smiled and walked into the Beauty Salon, leaving a frustrated and hurt man to wait outside.

Kagome had went into the salon to get her hair and nails done. She was mad at him for the way he'd been acting lately, and he figured the least he could do was let her go. Of course, he had to tag along. One look at the salon though, and he dug his sandals into the ground, flat out refusing to go in there with all the smells.

So that left him waiting in the food court in the mall, just a little ways from the salon. He had no money, and wasn't going to steal, or beg, from people. The best he could do was drum his fingers along the table, sighing every now and then. He felt a strange presence around him, but shrugged it off figuring it was another one of those weird people with the bright smiles and terrible perfume. That was until the scent of another half demon reached his nose, and a man's hand clamped down on his shoulders.

"Forgot the boxers this morning didn't ya?" came an eerily familiar voice from behind him. He reached for the hat on his head when the voice spoke straight into the ears on top of his head. "Don't worry, the hat is fine."

"Who are you?" he growled. He didn't want to bring any attention to himself in a public place; Kagome had threatened to sit him so hard he wouldn't be capable of having children if he pulled another stunt like the one at the Cultural Festival.

"I think you probably know." The voice was deep, much like his own, with an air of sarcastic humor. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that the voice was exactly like his, only a little more aged.

Before he could speak, a figure came into view. A man about his height and build took the seat opposite him. His hair was like Kagome's, a sapphire black color with a more modern cut. It hung around his human ears and sat on the top like a mop of messy black silk. Inuyasha felt strangely calm, but knew for a fact that the man was a demon. His nose didn't lie.

"Feh, if I knew I wouldn't be asking," he spat. The man laughed and pulled the dark shades from his face, revealing two honey colored orbs that scared the shit out of Inuyasha.

"Did I really sound like that as a brat?" the man chuckled again before replacing the shades. He held up his hand and showed off a golden wedding band. "It says 'The course of true love never did run smoothly.' My wife had a wood pecker demon engrave it for us as a wedding present." He explained the characters written on it.

"You…who the hell are you!" Inuyasha nearly shouted. The man chuckled a little bit and pointed to Inuyasha.

"I'm you." Inuyasha stared on in horror. The man had to be lying to him. There was no way that was him. "500 years in the future, this is what you become. Well not really. The wedding band is a concealment charm to make sure no one can see the real me," he laughed again. Inuyasha stared on in confusion, unable to make a coherent sentence.

"Okay, I'll talk and you listen for a minute," the older Inuyasha smirked. The younger one just nodded. "The days of demons came to an end after some pretty important things happened. We all went into hiding. The ones who looked more like humans, like us half demons, were able to blend in better." At this point he paused to make sure the younger one was getting it. After a quick nod, he continued.

"Soon, Kaede and Kagome began working on concealment charms that could pass as something one would wear everyday. My wedding band was one of the first made, a present from Kagome to me," he paused in thought before returning again. "We began to make a name of ourselves in the human world. We started businesses and pretty soon we made it out on top."

"Okay," Inuyasha mumbled. He was still confused.

"The well closed itself off," the older ones voice hit Inuyasha pretty hard. The man sitting across from him just stared on, a content little smirk playing on his lips. Inuyasha was slightly frantic. "Ask away."

"Huh?"

"You've got a question playing on your mind. One so bad that you're scared to death to ask it," the older leaned in. He pulled the shades off and looked into Inuyasha's eyes.

"How do you know?"

"I had the same question when I was in your position. I remember this, and I believe it was the only thing that really helped me."

"Helped you what?"

"Ask the question and I'll tell you." The older Inuyasha smirked, knowing he'd already won. Seeing himself like this, young and wild, really put into perspective what his wife went through with him.

"Is she alright?" was all Inuyasha could manage to say. He looked at the older him, at the smirk that had faded and was replaced with a genuine smile of happiness. Happy, he's happy, he thought. I'm happy in the future. She must've been alright.

"Take a look for yourself," came the unexpected reply. Inuyasha lifted an eyebrow as the older version of himself pointed to a beautiful woman buying an ice cream. Inuyasha's jawed dropped when she turned, revealing a large tummy. "Eight months along with number 7."

"Seven?" His eyes widened as he tried to work his jaw.

"Seven biological, that doesn't include the gaggle of half demons she and I adopted along the way."

"Why?" Inuyasha shut his mouth. "Why did she stay with me?"

"Because she loves you more than anything in the world," the older Inuyasha smiled. "I have to go, but don't you dare tell Kagome anything about this okay."

"Okay," Inuyasha mumbled. The older one got up to leave before he snaked back around and pointed a long finger at his crotch.

"It hurts like hell doesn't it?" the younger Inuyasha took a minute to catch on, but winced when he did. The older one laughed. "It'll happen again, when they invent the things." Inuyasha's eye began twitching involuntarily. "But don't worry about it, Kagome knows exactly what to do. Hehe, lucky number 5!"

All the color drained from his face as he watched an older version of himself walk up to an older, but still beautiful, version of Kagome and nuzzle her neck. He began leaving passionate trails of kisses all down her neck line when the Kagome Inuyasha knew walked out of the beauty salon. She followed his gaze to the couple and sighed, wishing that could somehow be her and Inuyasha.

"Oh look at them!" Mrs. H smiled as she draped and arm around Inuyasha and Kagome. "That could be you two one day." Of course she only meant it as teasing, but what color Inuyasha had left in his face disappeared.

You have no idea, he thought before being dragged away.
