A/N: Thank you for all the reviews and support so far! Oh, and Guest, I thought I already mentioned their ages in earlier chapters. But I'm going to be nice! :D Here's a list of all the characters ages;

Inuyasha: 58 in humans years, 5 3/4 in demon years and looks like it
Sesshomaru: 84 in human years, 8 2/5in demon years and looks like it
Kagome: 4
Rin: 4
Sango: 15
Miroku: 16

Once I bring more characters in I'll put in their ages if they have been changed!

After a large dinner, which both Kagome and Rin couldn't even finish half of, everyone returned to their rooms for that night. Kagome sat down on one of the many, cushiony chairs that were in Inuyasha's room. Inuyasha laid back on his bed, putting his hands behind his head and crossing his arms. Kagome then yawned and stretched her arms up before letting them dive back down onto her lap. She stared at Inuyasha, her eyelids drooping down despite how hard she was trying to keep the things open. "Inuyasha-chan I'm tired." She said in whiny voice.

"So sleep." Inuyasha responded, although the result from his response was not one he expected. He had kept his eyes closed when he answered her so he had no idea where she was moving to, just the fact she was moving. Once he felt the bed shift was when he opened his eyes and looked next to him, seeing Kagome tiredly and sluggishly moving onto the large bed. "Wh-what are you doing?" He asked, his words catching in his throat.

"You said sleep so I'm laying down to sleep." Kagome replied, then letting her arms collapse underneathe her making her lay down.

"Yeah but I didn't say sleep in my bed!" He exclaimed, sitting up some, still staring at the girl.

"Where am I supposed to sleep then?" Kagome asked, turning her head so she was looking at Inuyasha the best she could.

"The floor for all I care."

"Y'know for a Da'myo's son you don't act vewy Shinshi," She paused to yawn,"yike..." She trailed off, falling asleep before she could finish her sentence.

"Damnit." Inuyasha cursed, even though he knew he wasn't allowed to. Inuyasha leaned towards the girl to wake her back up. "Yo, girl. Wake up." He continued saying things like that while gently shaking her. After about, 5 minutes he gave up, seeing as how the child wasn't going to wake up anytime soon. So he moved his covers some and at least covered her up with them so she wouldn't be cold. He knew it was going to be winter soon and he didn't want to have to share a room with a sick person, despite the fact he wouldn't catch it. Inuyasha watching the girl sleep until he finally fell asleep also, being sucked into the black abyss where time flies by right before your eyes.

"It's time for-" Miroku started to say when he popped in a few hours after Inuyasha and Kagome had fallen asleep. He saw a sight he knew Izayoi would most definitely want to see. So, closing the door carefully and slowly, he started to back out of the room, once safe, he dashed through the mansion over to where he knew Izayoi and Inutaisho would be at that time of night.

Once he was in front of their bedroom door, he knocked. "What is it?" Inutaisho's voice came.

"I have seen something that Izayoi-sama may like to see also." Miroku said formally.

"What is it about?" This time Miroku received an answer from Izayoi's voice.

"Inuyasha-sama and Kagome-sama." Miroku replied again. The time he recieved an answer by the rustling of blankets, feet, and then the door opening to show Izayoi barefoot, like everyone else in the household. Miroku wasn't used to seeing Izayoi barefoot though, she always wore socks when she was inside the house moving about. "Come on! Show me!" Izayoi said, excitement in her slightly accented voice.

"Right this way." Miroku said before speed walking back over to Inuyasha's room, knowing that in Izayoi's excitement she would keep up easily with him since she wanted to see the two before they ended up shifting. Miroku hushed the giddy girl once they got to Inuyasha's door. He opened it slowly and let Izayoi tiptoe in first. He then closed the door softly behind him before walking up next to Izayoi, who was standing there with eyes nearly popping out from their sockets.

Inuyasha shifted very slightly towards Kagome even more, as though he sensed that there were intruders in his room. The boy still kept his arms wrapped around Kagome protectively though, one wrapped around her waist and the other on her shoulder-blade, hand just next to her neck. His nose rested on top of Kagome's head as if it was reassuring his sleeping form that she was still there and safe. Kagome had her head turned slightly upwards so it was facing Inuyasha's shoulder. One of her hands kept a firm grip on Inuyasha's hakama, as if to keep him from running away from her. The other hand rested around Inu-chan who Kagome had brought up to her chest. Izayoi squealed silently, overjoyed by the cute sight Miroku had just shown her. Then Kagome started whimpering in her sleep, making Izayoi freeze and Miroku tense up. Slowly the two started walking to the door, as if they had set off an alarm and now they were trying to escape unnoticed. Which they were doing the latter.

They made it successfully out the door as Inuyasha woke because of Kagome's whimpering. He looked down at her before noticing the place they were in. Blushing, he tried to move, although Kagome scooted closer to him. He could tell that Kagome was somehow speaking in dog with her whimpering. "Scared. Help" She said again in dog, whimpering. Inuyasha on the other hand had no idea what to do so he just listened to her. "Scared. Help. Please. Mate. Help." Inuyasha's eyes nearly popped out of his head when she said mate. He just stared down at the girl stunned. Maybe something else in her knows she's my mate? He thought, continuing to stare at the girl as she continued to speak in dog without her knowing that she was doing so.

Soon she started to fidget around more and more before she finally screamed, "OKAA-SAN!" This made Inuyasha jump and he somehow knew what to do just then. He set his hand on the shaking girl's shoulder and gently shook her, frantically saying,"Kagome! Kagome, wake up!" After a few moments she did just that. Inuyasha could smell tears as he asked,"You alright?"

"Mm-hmm." Kagome replied childishly and sleepily.

"You had a nightmare didn't you?"

"Nyo." Kagome lied. Inuyasha merely sighed and hugged her, taking in her scent as she calmed down in his arms. He could hear and feel Kagome's small heart beating in her chest. Eventually the two fell back asleep, this time staying in peaceful dreams until dawn.
