A/N: Ok I want to clear something here. This took me a lot of time to calculate so you better appreciate it. Alright, Im doing the ages of the characters in this story. They are from the time the whole jewel thing started, or for the pups case, when they were born, until right now, ok?

IMPORTANT!

...Miroku- 30.
...Sango- 29.
...Inuyasha (not adding the 50 yrs.)- 29.
...Kagome- 28.
...Rin- 22.
...Sesshoumaru- ? but Ima say around 150...give or take.
...Keitara- 5.
...Inukira (Inuki)- 3.
...Kohaku (not Sango's brother)- 8.
...Sao- 6.
...Tsuki- 4.
...Konan- 7.
...Satsuki (Rin's Tsuki)- 4...

Inuyasha gave Sango and Miroku two rings that will enable them to age just like him and Kagome. So even though their ages are...older, they look the same age ever since they defeated Naraku. And Rin looks like a 16 year old...

ON WITH THE CHAPPIE!

Ill Changes

"DADDY!"

"INUYASHA!"

"WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE!" yelled Kagome as she burst through the already opened door.

She sensed something was very wrong and hurried back to her home to check on everything. She stopped by Miroku and Sango's hut to see a very concerned Miroku about to go and check on the hanyous. He said that the three were very sick, and this only caused Kagome to run.

Run like her life depended on it to her family.

"OH MY GOD INUYASHA!" yelled a second guest, Sango. She was worried when Kagome suddnely wanted to go home, and that desprate look in her eye showed that something bad was happening.

"OH NO IT'S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!" Yup, another guest, Miroku. He ran after Kagome when she looked terrified, and after his wife. He knew he should of made the hanyou stay in his hut.

"I'm gone for a half a day and this is what happens!" great another guest, Shippo. He came at about the same time Kagome showed up, and decided to get a ride with the monk to see what was going on. He did not like the way everyone was acting.

Inuyasha was sprawled on the floor, unconscious. He fell just when he was about to grab onto something, and the fever, lack of rest, and food, caught up to him. Not to mention that spinning room...

"Rin please tell me what's going on!" Kagome cried going over to her mate. The pups were already there and were trying in vain to wake him up.

But there was no response.

"I...I dont know. Sesshoumaru and my pups were sick, so I came to your place to see if you knew anything about it, and here I see that Inuyasha and your pups are sick too, and when I'm about to make them some soup, Inuyasha passed out! I...I..." Rin was almost in shock. Why her?

Why her!

"I'll bring him up to his room. Sango, make those herbs that wake up the unconscious. Rin, you could resume making the soup." Miroku ordered and Sango & Rin nodded.

Picking up the hanyou, Miroku went up the stairs followed by a worried mate, crying pups, and a confused Shippo.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sesshoumaru was currently walking towards his pups' current room to check on them. The room was really not their room for they have their seperate rooms, but to make it easier for everyone, they were moved into the same room.

They were sleeping, finally, and he kept going every 10 minutes to make sure they were alright and to rewet the wet clothes on their foreheads.

You can't trust healers to do the right thing anymore...not like last time...

Just when he was about to open the door, Sesshoumaru was hit with dizziness. It was very strange to him, he never felt this way before for being the most tolerable demon on Earth.

But this dizziness...

Even over powered him...

Sesshoumaru finally entered the room to see his pups tossing and turning. He could tell that the fever was not breaking at all, no matter what herbs you give them.

'Just when I need my mate, she's not here.' he thought.

There was nothing he could do for the pups or himself, so he just went to his room across the hall and fell into a deep sleep, one he had never had in years.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Miroku had finally brought Inuyasha to his bed to rest. His pups layed next to the hanyou, not wanting to ever leave their father's side. Kagome was a nervous wreck, trying to help her family in any way possible.

But there was nothing she could do.

And Shippo...

...was very, very confused about everything!

Sango came up with the herbs and placed it under Inuyasha's nose. His sensitive nose would be able to pick it up, and he should bolt right up wondering what the hell was that stench.

But nothing happened.

"He's not waking up! He didn't even stirr!" Shippo said.

He jumped onto the hanyou's head and started to rubb his ears. Inuyasha absolutely hated it when someone other than his mate or pups touched his ears and even if he was unconscious, he would wake up.

But nothing happened.

His eas didn't even twitch.

"Something's very wrong with him. and it seems Keitara and Inukira have it too." Miroku observed watching the two now unconscious pups.

"Oh great." Kagome sighed.

"And what's even worse, the fever's not breaking at all." Sango added.

"Your not making me feel any better guys." Kagome groaned, stroking her mate's long silver and white locks.

Soon, Rin came into the room with a few bowls of soup. She saw that everyone was feeling down, and the cause of that were the three sick hanyous in the room.

That were unconscious.

"Well, here you go guys. I feel that my mate isn't feeling any better himself so I have to get going. If anything goes wrong, you know where the castle is." Rin said and put the bowls of soup down near Sango.

"Thank you Rin. Thank god you made Sesshoumaru build a castle near us." Kagome said.

"Hey, I knew it would come in handy." Rin winked and bounded down the stairs to Ah-Un, leaving three frustrated humans, and one frustrated and confused kitsune to deal with three sick hanyous that would not wake up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once Rin got to the castle, she put Ah-Un in the stable and ran up the castle steps. She quickly greeted the servants and the guards, and then started to look for Jaken.

"JAKEN!" she yelled knowing full well that it would anger her mate.

But nothing happened.

NOTHING HAPPENS!

"What do you want Rin." the lazy old fart came into the room she was in.

"Have you even dared to check on Lord Sesshoumaru and my pups?" Rin gritted her teeth at the toad's expression.

"Uhhh, I heard him going to the brat's room every...10 minutes...and...ummmm...now I think I heard him going into his room." Jaken nervously said seeing that the human girl infront of him was going to explode.

Her aurora grew ten fold.

"Alright JAKEN, I'll make sure Lord Sesshoumaru hears of this. What good of a retainer are you if you dont even check on the wellfare of your lord's health and of his pups? And dont you dare call MY pups brats ya old fart!" Rin yelled angrily and ran up the stairs to her pups' room.

"Did I miss something?" Jaken asked himself continuing what he was doing.

Yelling at servants to make his room more comfortable.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In Inuyasha and Kagome's hut, three humans and a kitsune sat worried sick. The three hanyous haven't woken up and were now starting to toss and turn, as if they were fighting something that wasn't the fever.

"What in the world is going on!" yelled a very frustrated, concerned, about to cry mate.

"Hmmm, this is very strange. And Rin did say that Sesshoumaru and his pups were also sick." Miroku said rubbing his chin in a thoughtful gesture.

"So what does that mean?" Sango asked.

"It means that maybe anyone with the blood of InuTaisho would have gotten sick. I know for a fact that dog demons rarely got sick. maybe they never did. It would either be by poisin or in Inuyasha's case, stress in a battle." Miroku explained his suspiscions.

"But we haven't fought anyone in days." Shippo objected.

"Presicley. Leading to my theory." Miroku replied.

"Wait a minute! Since I'm Inuyasha's mate, and I have some of his blood in me , wouldn't have I gotten sick?" Kagome said remembering the night they mated.

But you couldn't dwell on that sweet memory right now.

"I guess you dont have enough of it. Maybe they had to be demon to get affected." Miroku said.

"Maybe...hey Miroku, who did we leave the kids with?" Sango remembered now.

Miroku looked thoughful for a moment before remembering.

"Kirara. Why?" he asked.

"Remember what happened last time we left them with Kirara!" Sango yelled.

Last time they left them with Kirara, Sao and Tsuki ended up tied up and Kirara was distracted with catnip from Kagome's era. And Kohaku was going to do more "experiments" with his brother and sister.

"Oh...uhhh...I'll go my dear Sango. Fear not for I will take good care of them!" Miroku said, glanced at the tossing and turning hanyous, and bounded out the room, Kagome, Sango, and Shippo sweatdropping.

"Kagome dont you have something from your time that would reduce the fever?" asked Sango remembering that Kagome brought many medicines from her time.

"Saddly, they finished. I used it all up when that virus plagued the village." Kagome sighed.

"What are we going to do?"

"There's nothing else we could do but hope that nothing goes wrong." Sango replied bowing her head.

'Please get better guys, I need you.' Kagome thought desperately, now scratching her pups' ears.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dream State XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Inuyasha and the others felt themselves awaken in a dark place. It seemed like they were floating in thin air because nothing was under them but black. They looked around and finally noticed the other's presence.

"Why am I having a dream with you guys in it?" asked Inuyasha very confused. He glanced at his pups, his brother and his pups to see their confused faces.

No answer to that question.

"I doubt we're dreaming." Sesshoumaru finally said after a moment of silence.

"Father, in here I still feel pain and drowsiness." Konan observed alsomts falling asleep.

"And I have a weird feeling in my stomach now, like if something's going to happen." Keitara added.

"I have that too!" Inuki piped up weakly.

Inuyasha was about to respond but was cut off when suddenly a voice spoke to them and a lulling sound started to play. It felt as if they were slowly loosing themselves in the black.

"I will get my revenge, but for that I need you to come to me. Go to my lair in the Southern Eastern Mountains, and get rid of anything that gets in your way..." a deep voice said.

"Now awaken!"

None of the dog demons could speak, for they couldn't find their voices. They felt themsleves wake up, and before their vison was covered with all black, they saw the concerned yet relieved faces of their mates.

But then fear...

A/N: It has started people! I know I should be updating Love Never Dies and Time Goes By but I cannot find inspiration. But fear not! Love Never Dies will be posted before the end of next week!

XxX A Conversation We Never Hope To Hear XxX

Between Inuyasha and Miroku!

Miroku: "sigh, I give up! I dont care about my wind tunnel anymore! Not like we could be the great Naraku! He is so strong!"

Inuyasha: "I need to get a new cover for my Tetsusaiga."

Miroku: "I mean, I love my wind tunnel, it reminds me everyday of Naraku! Praise Naraku!"

Inuyasha" The Pink or Yellow? No maybe the Orange."

Miorku: "Are you listening!"

Inuyasha: "No I think the Yellow is better. AHH THE WHITE ONE!"

Miroku: "I suggest Lilac."

Inuyasha: "Good idea."
