-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome nodded off watching tv. Shippo awoke about an hour later. He looked around confused until he noticed something warm on his back. He looked up.

"Kagome!!!" He jumped and grabbed her neck. Kagome screamed at the sudden awakening and fell off the bed.

Inuyasha who had been in a sugar induced coma woke up with a starty when he heard a scream. He ran to the hall closet and grabbed his sword. Pulling it out of the sheath it transformed into the giant fang. He ran up the stairs two at a time and slammed open Kagome's room. The sight before him almost made him laugh out loud.

Kagome was on the floor holding her shirt as if in pain. Her hair was a rats nest and her eyes were wide. Shippo was on her bed laughing and looking like his old self. Neither of them had seen Inuyasha so he just stood in the doorway and watched. Kagome finally regained her composure and glared at Shippo.

"Dang it Shippo I almost had a heart attack." Shippo stopped laughing.

"Whats a heart attack?" Kagome was taken aback by this. "A heart attack is something very bad. It could kill you." Shippo's eyes weld up with tears and Kagome regretted being so stern with him and saying she could die. Not everyone died from a heart attack...Right? Shippo cried out and latched onto Kagome. "I am so sorry KAGOME I didn't know you could die. Please forgive me!!!" He wailed. Kagome's face softened and she pulled him into a hug.

"It's okay Shippo. I forgive. After all you are my son." Shippo's eyes widened and he stopped crying. Hope flashed in his eyes. "Really? I am your son?"

She smiled at his happiness. "Yes. And when I am eighteen I will adopt you so everyone will know you are MY son." Shippo squeeled and jumped. Shippo looked up at Kagome and asked uneasily. "Kagome can I call you mom?" Kagome smiled.

"As long as I can call you son." Shippo nodded. Both were laughing when a voice caught them off guard. "Hey do you two have to be so loud? I had to cover my ears." He paused and saw Shippo looking at him. "Hey runt. How are you." Shippo looked down at the floor and put a hand under his chin. "I dont know. Alright I guess. I dont remember what happened." He looked around. "Come to think about it...I dont even know where I am !" Kagome apologized.

"Your in my time. At my home. You are to stay here until I can come back to the feudal era. You dont remember anything?" Shippo who had been smiling at the thought of living with Kagome as his mother in her time quickly became sad. "The only thing I remember was a demon coming towards me and Inuyasha screaming...After that I woke up here. How long was I out?" Inuyasha snorted and answered. "About three days runt." Then just for ol' times sake..."So what happened..Was a low grade demon to much for you?" His voice had a taunting air to it. Kagome glared at Inuyasha knowing what he was doing. She turned back to the boy. "Dont listen to Inuyasha. You were brave. The demon took you by surprise is all." She glared back at Inuyasha. "Its no ones fault. No one saw it coming." Shippo seemed to calm down by this. Kagome decided to lighten the mood.

"How about we go somewhere?" Inuyasha seemed to like the idea and Shippo beemed. "Alright we can go but first I need to check your wounds Shippo. Inuyasha go put up your sword while we get ready." Inuyasha feh'd and left. Kagome picked up Shippo and carried him to the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later They walked down stairs to see an annoyed Hanyou in the kitchen sipping water having long ago learned indoor plumbing. Inuyasha stared. Kagome was wearing a tanktop and jean pants that flared near her black boots. Her hair was in a ponytail and she had sunglasses in her hand. Shippo was holding her hand. He looked like the average boy. Black hair, normal ears, no tail, and brown eyes. Around his neck were the rosaries. He had on some tennis shoes but the rest of the clothes were his. "Shippo has to wear Souta's shoes but Souta's clothes dont fit him so we need to go to the mall to buy you both clothes. Here." She handed him some shoes. "They were my dads. I found them when we had gone to the shrine the last time." Inuyasha eyed the shoes and finally put the on. He hated the shoes already. The constricted his feet and his claws threatened to rip through the shoes. Kagome saw his discomfort. "Dont worry.Its only for an hour or so. We have to hurry. Its already about 2:30 and everyone at my school gets off at 4:00. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk there from here so we better hurry." She reached for her purse and walked out the door. Shippo jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulder and they walked off.

Halfway to the mall Kagome noticed everyone looking at them wierd. She looked back and saw what they were looking at. Inuyasha forgot his hat! Kagome ran back to Inuyasha and covered his head. Ignoring Inuyasha's cries of protest she pulled him into the nearest alley. When she was sure no one had seen them she turned back to Inuyasha and Shippo. Inuyasha glared at her. "What was that for Kagome."

She pointed to his head. "You FORGOT YOUR HAT!!!!!" Inuyasha's ears twitched in response. "So."

"SO!?!? No one can see you like this!" She took a deep breath. Calmed down she looked back at the two demons. "I will go to the mall. You stay here. I'll go get you guys some modern clothes. Lord knows I dont want to have to explain why you look like this here again." Inuyasha feh'd. Shippo nodded and sat down to wait for her to return.

Luckily for Kagome the mall was about five blocks away. Easy to run. She ran the whole way there.

Checking her watch she noticed it was 3:00 so she had an hour to get some clothes then get them to the mall to get stuff. She didn't tell Inuyasha or Shippo yet but she needed to get something. Souta's birthday was that weekend and it was tuesday. She wanted them to come to get Shippo use to people and to also get input on what to get Souta.

Running to the nearest store she came out ten minutes later with two bags of clothes. Running the whole way back ignoring the indignant shoutes and glares of people she finally made it back to her friends. Throwing the bags at each boy she quickly ran back out onto the street to make sure no one saw the boys dress. "Kagome?" She turned around to see Shippo and Inuyasha struggling with the clothes. Kagome sighed and walked back tinto the alleyway. Grabbing the clothes she explained what they were. "These are jeans, This is a shirt and this is socks. Shippo these shoes are for you. Inuyasha I will buy you some new shoes at the mall." She turned around and waited. When they stepped out Kagome burst out laughing. They looked utterly rediculous.

Shippo was wearing jean shorts that he put on backwards with a green T-shirt he had backwards and somehow upside down. His shoes and socks were on right.

Inuyasha looked worse. The socks and shoes were okay but untied, His pants were A little too baggy and weren't buttoned. The wife beater was red and on right. The hat she got he put on backwards so he looked like a really bad impersonator of a ganster. She couldn't help it. She busted out laughing and rolled on the ground. Finally after five minutes Kagome dragged them back into the alley and fixed the problems.Finally after they were done a ticked off Inuyasha, excited Shippo (who was coming to love the future world), and a very smiley Kagome. Shippo was jumping and falling so much Kagome picked up Shippo and continued to walk to the mall with Inuyasha. They made it back about fifteen minutes after 4:00 but there was no sign of people from school.

Practically draging Inuyasha she walked into a bunch of stores getting clothes. Every once in a while some lady would walk by and talk to Shippo and ask how old he was. She just answered that he was about six...In human years but she never added that last part. Finally after about an hour all three of them walked to the food court to get some food. Inuyasha got, as usual, Ramen. Shippo got a kids meal from Wacdonolds (sp?), And Kagome just got a burger with fries. Shippo the whole time exclaimed about the fries and the food saying he loved it. "Kagome this is the best!!! What is this called?"

"A frenchfry."

"Oh. What is this yellow and red stuff?"

"The red is ketchup and the yellow is mustard."

"Oh. Its really good!!" After a few minutes he finished. "Mom. Can I have another?" Kagome's heart swelled. She loved that Shippo was comfortable calling her mom. She nodded as she had tears in her eyes. Shippo got down but stopped. "Mom whats wrong? Are you ok?" Kagome mouthed an ' I'm fine' and told Shippo to go get some food. As he walked off Inuyasha spoke. "Mom huh?"

Kagome wipped her eyes and nodded. "Yep I'm going to adopt him when I am eighteen so he can live here." (Kagome still doesn't know Inuyasha had heard her talking to Shippo about the whole mom and son thing.) Inuyasha nodded, he already knew this but didn't want to ruin Kagome's moment. She sighed but then stilled and her eyes grew big. "Kagome whats wrong. Is something wrong with Shippo?" SHe sat transfixed to something behind him so he turned around in his seat.

There standing in the doorway to the mall was that Ichigo kid but this time there were four others. A girl with a big chest and red hair that was long and straight. She was wearing a uniform and a smile. Next was a boy with a frown and eyes hiden behind glass. He hadshort black hair with long bangs. Next to him was a girl that was short with short black hair. She was facing Ichigo and laughing. Last with his face turned away was a guy who was tall. Probably as tall if not taller and definatly bigger than Sessomaru. He had black hair with really tanned skin. The girl with red hair turned towards them and smiled and waved but not before yelling accross the room so loud Inuyasha winced. "Kagome!!" She ran toward them with the rest of the group of humans following her. Finally reaching them the girl said in a high pitched voice. "Oh Kagome-chan how are you?" She hugged Kagome who quickly snapped out of her trance and hugged her back. Finally the girl let go and turned to Inuyasha. "Oh who is this?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a look that said. ' Dont you DARE do anything.'

"Oh this is Inuyasha. He is a friend from Tokyo. He is just visiting for a few days. Inuyasha this is my friend Orihime. Orihime this is Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded and Orihime smiled while doing a curtsie. "Nice to meet you Inuyasha." Right then the rest of ' Orihime's ' group showed up. Kagome pointed to them. "Inuyasha this is Ichigo as you know. Rukia," The other girl nodded. "Uryu." They boy simply pushed up the glass frame on his face. "And this is Chad." The big dark guy nodded and extended his hand. In a deep voice he spoke. "Nice to meet you." Inuyasha shook his hand rather stiffly. Kagome was silently happy he was being polite which was more than she could say of Ichigo who had his famous scowl on and was glaring daggers at Inuyasha. "Everyone this is my friend from Tokyo Inuyasha." She turned to Inuyasha. "Could you go get Shippo and meet me by the door? We need to go home to check on Souta." Inuyasha nodded happy to leave from the awkward situation. Once he was gone Orihime spoke.

"So who is Shippo? Another friend? Is Inuyasha a boyfriend?" The usual questions that followed were the same kind Eri, Yuki and Ayumi would ask. Before she could answer Ichigo abruptly left the group and murmered something about going to the bathroom. As they watched him walk off she noticed Shippo with Inuyasha walking towards them. Not wanting them to notice Shippo or ask more awkward questions she excused herself and stood up. "I really have to go. Souta is probably waiting for me." She ran off leaving behind four confused faces.

She ran up to Inuyasha and grabbed Shippo's hand. "Let's go." Inuyasha grabbed their bags and walked out the door.

-----------------------------------------------ICHIGO-------------------------------

Ichigo excused hisself to the bathroom and walked in that direction. When he was sure no one was watching he doubled back and walked to where he had seen Inuyasha walk. Walking towards the Wadcdonolds booth he saw Inuyasha talk to a kid with a green shirt with shorts and tennis shoes. Black hair and green eyes. He saw them talking and walked closer to here.

"Come on Shippo. Kagome said its time to go." ' So this is Shippo. Who is this kid? I have never seen him before...Wait...' All the peices kinda fit together. He had wondered why Kagome had needed the penicilian. Inuyasha hadn't seemed sick and Souta seemed fine. Kagome was supposed to have had a cold but that shouldn't have needed a shot. So what had happened to this kid and why did she not bring him to his fathers hospital in the first place. There were so many questions his head started to spin. ' Never mind. I'll find out later.' He turned back to the group when he heard Kagome. "Inuyasha ready to go?" He saw Inuyasha nod and the kid shake his head.

"Please mommy can we stay for a while longer?" ' MOMMY!?!?!?!?" He stared in amazement. It couldn't be...Could it? She was way to young... but the kid was about four at the youngest and six at the latest. She couldn't have had him at ten... Could she. He decided to wait till later. He walked behind them following them home.

------------------------------------KAGOME----------------------------------

Kagome smiled at her son. She knew he would have wanted to stay. "No Shippo. We need to go. Souta has been wanting to meet you. And he has games to play. Remember when I had brought that Gameboy?" Shippo nodded. He had fallen in love with the modern toy and had been crushed when Kagome had to take it back home when the batteries had died. "Well Souta has better games." His eyes widdened and he squeeled. Kagome took Shippo's hand and they walked home. The walk home was quiet. About half way there Shippo complained about his feet and Inuyasha picked him up. Kagome took the bags and Shippo sat on Inuyasha's shoulder while Inuyasha held him there.

Shippo finally got situated and started to tug at his necklace. "Kagome when can I take this off?" She knew it would irritate him just like it did to Inuyasha. "When we are safe inside." They continued to walk untill they reached home. When they walked inside they found Souta playing games in his room. Shippo yanked off his shoes after seeing the game and handed Kagome his necklace. She took it and walked to her room to shower.

Inuyasha feeling left out walked to the kitchen. There he found Chieko who automatically asked. "You drank the rest of the coffee didn't you." He gulped and nodded sheepishly. Chieko only laughed. "Thats stuffs adicting ain't it?" Again he nodded. She motioned for him to sit down. "I ordered pizza for dinner. Ever had Pizza?"

"No." She wasn't really surprised. He was from a different era after all. "Well you will really love it." She sat down and handed him some water which he took and gulped it down and asked for more. "Long day huh?" Inuyasha only nodded. "Shopping at the mall?" Nodding again. "Go figure." Kagome had been a little picky on what she got for clothes. She guessed that when she bought clothes for others it was the same. They both sighed and waited for the doorbell to ring.

--------------------------------------ICHIGO---------------------------------

Ichigo walked home in a deppressing state. She had never told him she had a son much less a boyfriend. Even when he had walked about ten feet away he could still see the love in Kagome's eyes as Inuyasha had picked up the kid and placed him on his shoulderes. When she had smiled something in his stomach had twisted into a knot. She never smiled at him like that.

He sighed as he rounded the corner to his house. They had made a cute family portrait. The little boy had Kagome's hair and had her cheery disposition. He sighed. If she didn't want to explain to anyone her private life then let her...but why did she never mention to ANYONE that she had a boyfriend. Not even when other guys asked her out did she ever use the regection excuse of "I already have a boyfriend." So why keep it a secret? He wanted to know and made a promise to himself to figure it out. Everything no matter how much it hurt.
