Chapter 48: Changing The Future, For Sure

They arrived at the castle in a matter of minutes. As usual Sango and Miroku were outside watching Muteki play with Shippo. The glanced up and smiled when they saw them.

"I'm guessing you found him, huh?" Sango said.

Kagome nodded, still in her do form and glared at Inuyasha. She growled. He looked at her from the porch, frightened almost.

"You're in for it now. You should of heard her swear at you before she went to find you." Sango told him.

She transformed back still glaring at him. "Lets make this more fun. Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka; Henjo Tenka Kengen." She was human and he was a hanyou. "Just like old times. Now sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! SIT!"

By now, Inuyasha was just a hole in the ground.

"Wow, 30 sits. That's a new record." Miroku said.

"She must be really mad at him." Shippo added.

Kagome glared at them and they hid behind posts of the porch. Sesshoumaru just shook his head. Her father didn't dare say anything. Sango walked up to the hole in the ground and kicked some dirt into the 'grave' with her foot.

"I'll help you burry him if you want."

He peeled himself out of the ground.

"Oh no you don't. Sit!"

"You're going to throw my back woman!" He said from under them.

"So? I've carried you around enough already."

He crawled his way out.

"Senmo Kengen Haburi Tenka." She said once he got out. "Now you can't do anything to me. Hmph!"

Sango followed her. They went into her room, she started to sob.

"I just wish… for once… he would stop running off like that…. I'm afraid one… day he won't… come back!"

Sango hugged her. "He will, Kagome. He always has. As long as you're here with him he will."

Kagome gave her a sad smile. "Thank you Sango. What could I do with out you?"

Sango grinned and laughed. "I don't know Kagome."

"Without you, I would of sill be being groped by Miroku, even though I was sort of being courted. He might be dead by now. Naraku most likely would not be dead. We wouldn't of gotten all the jewel shards in this amount of time. And I wouldn't have such a wonderful sister!"

"Aww, Kagome. I wouldn't have such a wonderful sister either, I would probably be working for Naraku, and not be married to such a… um… good monk. Or have you as family."

"Um?"

"He's not really wonderful you know, the way I have to beat him all the time."

"Speaking of which, you better beat him tonight unless you want a child."

"You can smell it? Still?"

"I smelled it when I was transformed. I am catching a light hint of it now because I'm so close to you."

"What am I gonna do? He'll wonder what's wrong and then I'll have to tell him."

"Tell him you don't feel well for the next three days."

"Three?"

"Its one to three days that women are in heat."

"Ok."

"I'll warn you when your fine again. Just don't go anywhere near my dad, please. He doesn't need it… Oh wait a second. Here try this." She said showing her the perfume bottle it was short, fat and rose pink.

"What is that?"

"It's a light perfume I brought from home. It doesn't bother youkais too much. It smells like cherry blossoms too. This'll keep anyone off you. Here stand up."

Sango stood up and Kagome sprayed her chest once.

"Mmm, that smells good! Are you sure it'll keep youkais off?"

"Yea, this is what I wore at the wedding when my father and Inuyasha were about to die because they smelled I was in heat. I was really strong that day. My father almost mated me twice. Inuyasha was about to."

"Dang, so that's why they were acting odd."

"Yea…. Hey if you had a child what would their name be?"

"Oh… um… Kohaku or Reiki."

"My next child will be… Inu Reijin or… Inukan."

"Beautiful woman? Your child will be a dog."

"What if I conceive as human or something like that? I'll do that."

"That'll make Inuyasha feel bad that he made a hanyou child though. You know what he went through as a child."

"Yea, but we are alphas. Our children won't be put down like he was. Even if they are human. I'll make sure of it that they have a better childhood then he did."

Sango smiled and Kagome smiled back. "You'll be a great mom, Kagome. I just wish I could live as long as you."

Kagome thought for a minute. "There might be a way if we can get Inuyasha to agree to it. Let me bring him and Miroku in here and we'll talk it over."

She left and came back in with them. She was practically carrying Inuyasha. They sat down in the middle of the room. Inuyasha in Kagome's lap and Sango and Miroku next to each other.

"Ok, Sango said earlier to me that she wished that she could live as Inuyasha. If it was possible, would you agree to it Miroku?"

"Of course."

"Inuyasha, do you know about the soul mark?"

"Yea, where you cut your hand and you get to live as long as the other person?"

"Yea. Could it work between two people who aren't married or mated, or for that fact love each other that way?"

He thought for a moment. "I guess it could. You'd know if you'd try."

"Ok, Henjo Tenka Kengen." They were back to full youkais now. "Lets try it on them. I get Miroku, you get Sango. Ok hold out your right hands, and me and Inuyasha will cut our left." They cut their left hand and then cut the other's right. They mixed their blood with theirs and all four glowed a light purple color.

"Did it work?" Sango asked.

"Yea. Now you will live as long as us. The only bad thing now is that if like I die in battle, Miroku dies as well if he's lived for more than a normal human would."

"You guys won't die in battle. I know you won't."

"You'll out live your kids. Big time now. We'll all get to see my family one day! And no groping my mom Miroku."

"Hey, he's got 500 years. He'll forget by then."

"Yea, you're right. I wonder why my mom didn't see you two when we were together before, in the future I mean."

"Maybe we changed history now."

"I've got to go talk to my father."

They stayed in the room while Kagome ran out. She saw her father lounging in a tree and jumped to him.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Come here." She told him and he jumped down to her. She took his left hand and cut it, as well as she cut her right and put their hands together.

"Now, I can save you." She said as they glowed purple.

He smiled. "I didn't think it would work if we weren't mates."

"I didn't either, until we tried it on Sango and Miroku. They'll also live as long as us."
