I am a poor teenager who makes her money by babysitting children and writes stories for her amusement and to forestall boredom, not a rich wonderful manga writer/artist who writes InuYasha. I wish I was, but alas, it is not meant to be. In other words: InuYasha and gang aren't mine.
But the voice is, and it pwns, so on balance, I guess I'm happy.

From a prologue that Roze010 and I came up with after we finished most of the rest of it.

*Kagome has seen InuYasha with Kikyo, causing her to go down the well, where she begins dating Hojo. This is Sango's response.*

"InuYasha, you BAKA!!!!" Sango screamed at InuYasha, fighting against Miroku's restricting arms as InuYasha just stared at her, wondering why the heck Sango was screaming at him and trying to kill him.

I don't know, maybe because you just hurt her best friend, whom is like a little sister to her?

A dry mental voice asked sarcastically. InuYasha ignored it.

"What is the matter with you, Sango?" He asked incredulously. This time, Sango shoved her elbow into Miroku's gut, forcing him to let her go, and grabbed Hirakosu. InuYasha looked at it warily. "Sango?"

"Listen up, you stupid dog." Sango hissed. "I'm only going to say this once, got it?" InuYasha nodded, a little scared by this extremely mad version of Sango. Sango took a deep breath. "I know that you care about both Kagome and Kikyo, but I want you to get something straight: Kagome is ALIVE. AH-LIVE. As in breathing and in possession of her own soul. And she loves you more than anything. On the other hand, Kikyo is a DEAD. D-E-A-D. Dead, deceased, no longer breathing or in possession of her own soul. Heck, she doesn't even have her original body! She's a frickin' CLAY POT! As in, I could make her." Sango hesitated. "Well, except for the fact that I'm not a potter, and I wouldn't be able to make as good a copy as Urasue..."

That's right. You definitely wouldn't be able to. Now I, I on the other hand, could most certainly make a beautiful copy of Kikyo, because I am absolutely amazing at everything. The same voice said in Sango's head. Her eyes narrowed.

Oh so modest, aren't you? She snarled at it.

I am the epitome of modesty, my dear girl. The voice told her sweetly. Sango gave up and went back to chastising InuYasha.

"But that's not the point! The point is, you're hurting someone who's alive and absolutely adores you for a pile of dried mud who hates your guts! Do you see the problem here, InuYasha?" Sango hefted Hirakosu as InuYasha just stared at her. Very cooly, she whacked InuYasha across the head with it, turned around, and walked off, silently fuming.

*Just after InuYasha has asked Kagome why he would love a pile of dried mud instead of the real girl infront of him*

"Did-did you just call Kikyo a clay pot.... and a pile of dried mud?" InuYasha grinned.

"Yep."

"I- uh- I.... Excuse me for a second, please?" Kagome stammered, then ran when InuYasha nodded his head, looking confused. After she had gone a ways away, she squealed with glee, jumped up and down and yelled "HE FINALLY ADMITTED IT!!!!!!" Then she ran back to InuYasha. The half-demon was smirking slightly. His superior hearing had picked up her squeals of glee, and her words.

*Sometime between the end of chapter 19 and the epilogue, before Izayoi is born. Note that this takes place in the Feudal Era, after Kagome has permanently taken up residence there with InuYasha.*

Kagome was sitting on the porch of her house, watching Shippo sneak around, trying to play a prank on InuYasha. As usual, InuYasha was one step ahead of Shippo. He always seemed to know where Shippo was going to lay a trap for him, and managing to dodge it at the last minute. Kagome sighed with contentment. Suddenly, InuYasha froze, as did Shippo. They sniffed, then InuYasha turned to Kagome.

"We're going to have company..." He told her, irritation evident in his tone. Kagome smiled slightly. There were only two people guaranteed to make InuYasha angry like this: Kouga and Sesshomaru. Considering the fact that Ayame had sent Ginta and Hakakku to Kagome with a message that she had just given birth to set of twin pups, Kagome did not believe that it was Kouga coming to see them. So, that meant that Sesshomaru and Rin were coming to visit. She smiled slightly.

This was going to be fun.

"Mommy!" Rin squealed a few minutes later, once she and Sesshomaru had arrived. Kagome laughed, and hugged her daughter. Shippo pounced on his little sister.

"Hey Sis!" Rin laughed gleefully, and the two of them started a game of chase. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder, and smiled down at her, an evil gleam in his eyes.

"Hello, Kagome." Kagome choked back giggles at the total evil in Sesshomaru's expression. Mentally, she began counting to see how long it would take before InuYasha started to lose control. She smiled.

"Hello, Sesshomaru. I see you and Rin have been doing well. Where are Jaken and Ah-Un?" She asked sweetly, noticing the slight twitching of anger in InuYasha's form.

"Jaken is waiting outside the village. He refuses to come anywhere near a human residence. Ah-Un is ensuring that he does not do anything stupid." Sesshomaru's arm went around Kagome's shoulders, making InuYasha growl slightly. Sesshomaru smirked in reply, and Kagome resorted to covering up her giggles with her hand. By now, Rin and Shipp were also choking back laughter. Then, the evil light in Sesshomaru's light spread to Rin's, and she walked up to her parents, with a look of such innocence and sweetness, it was hard not to see a halo above her adorable features.

"Mommy? Daddy?" Kagome and Sesshomaru looked down at her, pretending not to notice the increased volume of InuYasha's growling.

"Yes, Rin?" Kagome asked, resisting the urge to ruin all their work by falling to the ground, laughing hysterically. The evil glint in Rin's eyes assured her mother that she knew exactly what she was going to say next.

"Rin would like a baby sister or brother to play with." A strangled howl of fury escaped from InuYasha, as his eyes turned crimson. Kagome blushed profusely, her face a color similar to InuYasha's eyes. Still, she was quite proud of Rin for coming up with her line. Kagome had always known she was brilliant.

Then she calmly walked over to her mate to reassure him that she had no intentions of leaving him for his brother, and keep him from killing everyone in sight.

*After Kagome's hidden her eyes in her hand when InuYasha's asked permission to kill Hojo again*

"Mommy" Izayoi asked, confused, worming her way in between her parents, "Is Daddy trying to do something stupid again?" Sesshomaru choked, concealing his laughter, Shippo suddenly caught a rather suspicious coughing fit, and Rin giggled, burying her face in her father's robe to try to conceal it.

"Yes, Izayoi. Daddy's trying to do something silly." Kagome said with a smile.

"Well, why don't you just make him sit?" She asked innocently. Kagome sighed.

"Because, Daddy actually has a good reason why he would want to do something silly this time." Kagome sighed. "I suppose I could let him, as long as he beats your uncle to it...."

"Hey, Mom, can I get a blast of fox fire in before you let them have him?" Shippo asked with a vaguely disturbing eagerness. Kagome and Izayoi stared at him.

"You've been spending too much time with Daddy, Brother..." Izayoi said slowly, a little scared. Kagome nodded slightly.

"Hey! This is the idiot who subjected me to hours of lecturing about why candy was bad for my teeth, even when I told him that I didn't need to worry about it! I want revenge!" He yelled. Rin nodded.

"If Rin was a demon, she would want to do something to him too! He broke Rin's arm, and she still isn't happy about that. Shippo can have Rin's hit, if he wants." Shippo, InuYasha, and Sesshomaru looked pleadingly at Kagome.

You really ought to let them, you know. You didn't let InuYasha and Sesshomaru have Kouga, so they are very eager to pick off someone.... The voice informed her, very eager to get rid of Hojo once and for all.

I know they are, but what about Toki, hmmm? What'll happen to him if Hojo's killed? Kagome countered.

You adopt him too. The voice answered promptly. Kagome almost buried her head in her hands.

"Does everyone but me want to kill him?" She asked the air.

"Yes." Rin, Shippo, Sesshomaru, and InuYasha chorused, and the voice answered her question in her head.

Most definitely. Oh, and Sango, Kaede, and Miroku would be interested in getting a few swipes in as well... And Kouga....

Kagome began banging her head against the wall of the house.

Well, I changed my mind about uploading my deleted scenes. No idea why, really. I hope everyone enjoys them! This is all you'll be getting from Losing Kagome. Then again, it is more than you were originally getting….
