Chapter 4

It was the fifth day and Kagome knew that Inuyasha was probably be mad at her by now. She had placed a seal on the shrine grounds to make sure he didn't try to come after her or to go looking for her. As she sat in the library, Kagome tried to find more books on the subject's dark magic and on herbs that were mostly used in the feudal era. Just as she had finally found something, Kagome looked up when she heard a familiar voice ask, "Kagome are you reading about dark magic?"

"Yuka, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked in a surprised voice as she tried to hide the books.

"I'm here working on a paper for an entrance exam for the university I want to go to…Kagome are you getting into magic?" Yuka asked in a curious voice as she took a seat a cross her.

"In a small way, please don't tell the other girls." Kagome replied. "I just want to find another way to get over all of my sicknesses."

Yuka looked around to make sure that no one was around them before turning to Kagome and saying, "If you want I got some books that you can use. Only they require you to replace half of your blood with another, with a demon…but to do that one you have to learn how to summon demons."

"Yuka…are you a witch?" Kagome asked in an unsure voice.

"Yeah, my whole family is, I know we look normal but we like to keep our secrets you know how that goes…I guess we just don't want to be looked at differently." Yuka answered with a smile on her face. "Do you want to come over; I can show you how to do it."

"Have you ever summoned a demon before?" Kagome asked as she began to put her books away.

"You can say that, I didn't get it to appear in my room but the next day I was able to see a lot of them. They noticed me too; I don't know how they knew I could see them though." Yuka explained.

"I think I should explain some things to you too…um but first I think I should call home and let my mother know." Kagome answered.

"If you want you can spend the night, I don't mind." Yuka offered.

"Thanks but I have most of my meds at home." Kagome answered in a sad voice. 'Wow, not only did she buy it but she can remove the concealment spells the demons in my time are using…that is a strong spell…maybe she might have some answers.'

"Sure thing, how about you walk with me to my place and I can give you a ride. I can drive now you know." Yuka explained.

"That sounds great." Kagome stated with a smile on her face. 'If there is anything that will help me from this time I will use it…now I just need to hear out all the rituals that Sango an Miroku know of…then there is Sesshomaru.'

Inuyasha had arrived hours ago only to find that Kagome was still not home and should have been home from school hours ago. When he had tried to go after her he had been stopped by her seals and spells; the same seals and spells that she had learned from Kaede so that he could only stay on the shrine grounds. After growing tired of helping out her grandfather with the back shed, Inuyasha walked back into the house only to find Sota on the phone.

As soon as he had heard Kagome's voice coming from the head piece he began to let out a low growl. As soon as he had heard the low growl, Sota turned to face Inuyasha as he told his sister to hold on. Kagome had practically sense Inuyasha's anger over the phone and knew that she would have hell to pay. Knowing that there was only one way to shut him up, Kagome took in a deep breath before whispering, 'sit' while hanging up the phone. 'Boy am I going to get it when I get home.' She thought sadly as she began to make her way to her friend Yuka.

By the time she had gotten home, Kagome found a very upset Inuyasha waiting for her outside and in the front of the shrine. After taking a deep breath, Kagome hid the books and walked up to him. Before he could even say a word, Kagome locked eyes with him and said, "I know your mad and I know I shouldn't have used the 's' word on you but you didn't have to yell at me. I had to study and I needed to go do just that without you coming over and dragging me back. I have some things to take care of here too."

"Feh, I know that wench, but you could have at least found a way to let me know that you would take a while." Inuyasha growled back as he looked away from her.

"I'm sorry, but mama wasn't home so I couldn't tell her and I didn't see Sota before going to school. I really am sorry." Kagome replied as she reached over for his hand.

"Feh, come on, you need to eat." Inuyasha growled as he began to lead her into the house.

'Inuyasha…I hope you can see how much I love you…some day, before you leave with Kikiyo, I'll tell you how much I love you…until then just wait for me.' Kagome thought sadly.

After getting something to eat and hiding the books she had gotten from Yuka, Kagome climbed into bed hoping that she would not have to rush into things. She didn't want to die just because she rushed things. She wanted to make sure she survived so that she could live with her son, to live to see her mother, her family again. That morning, Kagome woke up to find Inuyasha out with her grandfather helping out and her brother at school. As she walked into the kitchen, Kagome turned to her mother and asked, "Why didn't you wake me for school?"

"I just figured you would be leaving soon. I'm sorry if you wanted to go dear." Her mother replied.

"I guess I do need to go shopping for the things I need." Kagome stated as she sat down to eat.

"I see…when will you be back?" her mother asked in a calm voice.

"I don't know, but I'll be sure to come back a few more times," Kagome answered. "And don't worry mama, I'll come back and tell you when I'm going to go through the change before it happens."

"You better." Her mother replied.

"She better what?" Inuyasha growled as he walked in covered with dirt and dust.

"She better not be long, she is going out to get some things before you two head back to the feudal era." Ms. Higurashi answered with a smile on her face.

"Are you going to come with me?" Kagome asked.

"Feh, I'm not being left behind like some pup again wench." Inuyasha growled. "So give me the stupid hat."

"Don't have to…come here." Kagome replied with her miko energy filled hands.

"What are you going to do?" Inuyasha asked in an unsure voice.

"Trust me." Kagome whispered low enough so that only he would hear her.

Knowing that she would never hurt him, that she would never hurt him in any way, Inuyasha walked over to Kagome with a serious look in his eye. With a smile on her face, Kagome placed her hands on the necklace that she had placed on him years ago and added a new spell to it. As of lately it was getting easier to learn new spells, some of which she could naturally do since a part of her began to remember her past life as Kikiyo before she had met Inuyasha. Once she was done, Kagome removed her hands and said, "There, now we don't have to worry."

"What are you talking about wench?" Inuyasha growled.

"Oh, my god Kagome…when, since when have you been able to do this?" her shocked mother asked as she couldn't help but keep looking at a now human Inuyasha with regular clothing. Kagome had made him look as if he had black baggy pants with a blood red t-shirt on. His hair was still long but it was black and placed in a pony-tail.

"What the hell is she talking about wench?" Inuyasha growled.

"Now anyone who doesn't know about demons…well basically, no one can see your true self…no one but me." Kagome stated in a proud voice.

"Kagome when did you learn how to do this?" her mother asked.

"Kaede taught me a few months ago. It's the first time I actually get a chance to try it out. Come on Inuyasha, and you can take the sword…just don't draw it, it'll cancel out my spell." Kagome explained as she reached for her purse.

"Do you need some money dear?" her mother asked.

"No, I sold some of my old things a couple of days ago." Kagome answered in with a sad smile.

"Kagome, please don't tell me you sold your fathers necklace, the one he left you." Her mother asked in a sad voice.

"Come on Inuyasha, or you're staying again." Kagome called with a cheerful voice before running out.

Just as Inuyasha was about to follow after her, Ms. Higurashi reached out for Inuyasha and took hold of her. Once he had locked eyes with her, Ms. Higurashi looked at him and said, "I know that you will always protect her, but you have to promise me that you will train her…teach her how to fight. She is drifting away…I want her to be able to protect herself."

Not knowing what to say or do, Inuyasha nodded his head before following after Kagome. By the time he had reached Kagome, she had just reached the bottom of the stairs. Without a word, he took her hand into his and said, "I'm glad you didn't keep me from using my speed or hanyou powers."

"I know you wouldn't have liked that, pulse I still don't know how to do that, even if I did I would never do that to you." Kagome whispered with a smile on her face as she squeezed his hand.

"Feh, so what do you need to go and get?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well some ramen for you, candy for Shippo, some clothing for Rin, and some more medical supplies." Kagome answered.

"Feh, sounds like I'll be carrying that bag of yours since you won't be able to handle all of that on your own." Inuyasha growled with a grin on his face.

"Of course, because I'm the weak human and you're the big bad hanyou." Kagome stated in a calm voice.

Not liking the sound of her voice, Inuyasha stopped walking, stopped her before saying, "You're not weak, don't ever say you're weak."

Before Kagome could even say a word, Kagome turned around when she heard her friend's voice ask, "Kagome? Kagome is that you?"

"Um…who's the guy?" Eri was heard.

"Kagome?" Yuka called her in a calm voice.

"Um…hi guys…" Kagome greeted.

"This is Inuyasha, he's my…" Kagome trialed off.

"Feh, I'm her boyfriend." Inuyasha growled.

"Oh, you're the two timing jerk whose made her cry." Eri stated in a calm voice.

"Oi." Inuyasha growled.

"So what are you guys up to?" Kagome asked as she changed the subject.

"We were on our way to go see a movie…want to join us?" Yuka replied.

"Where's Ayumi?" Kagome asked.

"She's on a date with Hojo." Yuka answered.

"Oh, I guess, sorry but we are going to go and get some shopping done for my mom." Kagome answered before adding, "Maybe some other time."

"Can we come with you?" Yuka asked.

"What about the movie?" Eri asked.

"We can always watch another one." Yuka answered as she walked up to Kagome and pulled her toward her while whispering, "I have to tell you something.

"Come on Inuyasha, come up with me up a head, there are a few things I would like to talk and ask you about." Eri hissed in a cold tone.

"What…wait…Kagome." Inuyasha growled.

"Sorry but she can't get you out of this one." Eri replied.

Knowing that Inuyasha would still be able to hear them, Kagome turned to Yuka and asked, "Yuka, what's wrong? Why did you pull me away like that?"

"Kagome…do you know that he is…he's a demon." Yuka answered before looking over at Inuyasha and Eri. "Well half…Kagome he is the one that is making you sick. If he kills you he can become a full blooded demon."

A/N: Well there you have it; that is it for this chapter. I hope you all like the beginning of this story. The reason I began this is because, I was thinking back to on everything that I've ever written and I hadn't written something where Kagome is the one that wants to turn. To cut it short this will mainly be an adventure filled story. Don't think I'll have much time for the couple's part. Please let me know what you all think of it. REIVEW!
