Kagome awoke barely half an hour before school. “That clock can't be right,” she thought.
 
InuYasha, fully dressed, poked his head in the door. “Oi! You gettin' up? Your mom says you're gonna be late for school.” He stage whispered, “And by the way, you were great last night.”
 
It must have been Kikyo again. Oh well. It couldn't be helped…yet. “Th-Thank you, InuYasha. You weren't so bad, yourself.”
 
“Feh! Get dressed and I'll give you a ride, InuYasha-style.”
 
Kagome smiled, hopped out of bed, grabbed a two-minute shower and got dressed in record time. As she grabbed her books, she saw that the notebook she had left for Kikyo had been moved. She turned to her last page and there it was…a note from Kikyo.
 
“Oi! Wench! Get a move on!”
 
She'd have to read it later. Kagome snapped the notebook shut and stuffed it into her backpack. She ran downstairs and out the front door, where she found InuYasha waiting.
 
“Hop on, wench,” he said as he offered her something in a foil package. “Your mom said this is an en-er-gee bar.”
 
“Thanks!” Kagome climbed onto her mate's back, unwrapped the breakfast bar and started munching.
 
The hanyou took off in his trademark bounds from rooftop to rooftop on the way to her school. “Oi. Watch it.”
 
“What?”
 
“You're getting crumbs in my hair.”
 
“Sorry.” Kagome giggled. It was time for a little test, to see if her joke had reached Kikyo. “InuYasha?”
 
“What is it?”
 
Kagome leaned close to her mate's ear and whispered, “you tasted really good last night.”
 
“Ka-Kagome?” InuYasha's next jump carried him clear over the next roof. He landed awkwardly on the roof of a commuter bus and bounded off before anyone saw him.
 
“Kyahhhhh!” screamed Kagome. “Watch where you're going!”
 
“Keh! Then don't say things like that, wench!”
 
“So you did like last night.”
 
“Yeah.” InuYasha smiled. “I can't believe you did that…and so many times, too!” He set his mate down just as the bell rang. “You'd better go in, Kagome.” InuYasha pulled her to him for a quick goodbye kiss.
 
“So many times? No wonder my jaw is sore.” She smiled. “And I'll be looking forward to more of the same tonight, InuYasha.” It wasn't lost on Kagome that the hanyou was now standing slightly bent over. She couldn't wait to read Kikyo's message.
 
 
******************
 
 
After lunch, Kagome finally got the privacy to read Kikyo's note:
 
Dear Kagome. Nice try, but your little joke did not bother me in the least. I will admit that at first I was shocked that you would perform this act, but my curiosity got the better of me and I tried it, as you said, so he would not get suspicious. I will even admit that I did not realize your full meaning until it was too late. So much and so potent, Kagome. If it were not for this birth control pill I have heard about, surely you would be carrying InuYasha's child.
 
It would be a shame if something happened to these pills, wouldn't it?
 
By the way, Kaede told me she thought we were “rubbing off on each other.” I think that may be true. The odd thing is that as much as I have every reason to envy and even hate you, I find that I do not.
 
But do not think that this means your little joke will go unanswered.
 
As you say, more tomorrow.
 
The bell rang for her next class and Kagome closed the notebook. She'd have to write back to Kikyo when she got home.
 
 
******************
 
 
Miroku walked into Kaede's hut. “You summoned me, Kaede-sama?”
 
“Aye, I did,” answered the elder miko. “I believe we are ready to perform the spiritual re-fusion on Kagome. Do ye believe so, also?”
 
The monk looked worried. “I confess that I do not know if it will have the desired effect.”
 
“What do ye mean?”
 
Miroku sighed. “The re-fusion is meant to bond together two parts of a soul that have become separated. While part of Kagome's soul separated from her and helped to sustain Kikyo, it is not the same as what normally happens in these rare cases. Normally, both parts of the soul are still one person, but in Kagome's case…”
 
“I see. We are attempting to fuse together two parts of one soul, one part of which is corrupted by the presence of my sister, Kikyo.”
 
“It is not clear to me whether Kagome's re-fused soul will be restored to its original form,” said the monk. “Indeed, it is not clear to me who will emerge after the re-fusion.”
 
“But we must try.”
 
“Yes,” sighed Miroku. “I believe we must.”
 
“Then we shall try at the first opportunity.”
 
 
******************
 
 
“I'm home, everybody,” called out Kagome as she returned from school. She found her mother in the kitchen. “Hello, Mama. Have you seen InuYasha?”
 
“I believe he's sitting in the Goshinboku.”
 
“Thanks, Mama.” Kagome ran outside and up to the base of the tree. “InuYasha?” She gasped as a red blur swept down upon her and carried her back up into the tree. “InuYasha!”
 
The hanyou was sitting against the trunk of the tree with Kagome in his lap. Judging by what she felt against her back, InuYasha must have been thinking about her all day.
 
Before she realized it, InuYasha's ministrations to her mating mark had her starting to breath hard. She came to her senses when she felt her bra fall off. “At least he doesn't cut them anymore,” she thought. His hands massaged her bare breasts until her nipples were hard little points and she groaned with pleasure.
 
“I've been thinking about you all day.”
 
“I can tell,” said Kagome as she squirmed in InuYasha's lap.
 
“Oi, wench. You're making it worse.”
 
“Oh, the poor hanyou can't take it,” giggled Kagome.
 
InuYasha lifted up Kagome and deftly flicked one of his claws under her skirt. He then pulled the remains of her panties out from under her skirt and flicked them away.
 
“InuYasha! What are you doing?”
 
 
******************
 
Souta picked up the scrap of cloth he found under the Goshinboku and stretched it out till he realized what it was.
 
“Ewwwww.” The young man looked up, and then looked back down immediately. He said a silent thank you that he hadn't seen anything more than branches shaking, but it was still enough to gross him out.
 
Before he could retreat into the house, he heard the muffled cry of his sister, and the shaking high in the tree stopped.
 
The young man shrugged.
 
“Mama says she wants Kagome to help with supper tonight!” He paused, but there was absolute silence from above. “I don't know how you think I'm supposed to grow up normal with all this going on.”
 
Souta shook his head as he walked back to the house.
 
“Take me in through my window, InuYasha.”
 
 
******************
 
 
“Mama?” said Souta. At least the young man had done his sister the courtesy of stuffing the piece of cloth into his pocket. As he opened the door, he watched InuYasha and Kagome going in through his sister's window…the hanyou holding his sister in such a way that nothing would be visible from the ground.
 
“Yes, dear?”
 
“InuYasha took Kagome in through her window. They should be down in a minute.”
 
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. “Thank you, dear.” She noticed Souta was fumbling in his pocket. “What do you have there?
 
“Nothing,” said the boy as he stopped briefly to stuff the scrap of cloth into the wastebasket. As he left for his room, he muttered, “No, I just don't see how anyone expects me to grow up normal around here. “
 
 
******************
 
 
Twenty minutes later, Kagome and InuYasha finally came downstairs. InuYasha walked into the living room to watch TV. Kagome joined her mother in the kitchen.
 
“You need help, Mama?”
 
Mama Higurashi directed Kagome as to what she needed done (cleaning some daikons) and joined InuYasha in the living room. “Sorry about the...interruption.”
 
“Feh.”
 
Mama kept her voice down. “Any progress?”
 
InuYasha blushed slightly. “Once in the tree and once in our room.”
 
“Good, good.” Mama looked behind her to see if Kagome was listening. “Has she stopped using her…?”
 
The hanyou had signaled for Mama to stop talking. “I don't think so, but she did get very excited when I whispered in her ear again.”
 
“Good. Keep it up.”
 
Kagome had the water running, so she couldn't here Mama and InuYasha, but she suspected they were up to something.
 
However, she was still preoccupied with what Kikyo had written in her notebook. How could Kikyo have come to know about birth control pills? Someone would have had to…
 
She snapped around to look at her mother and InuYasha, who both went silent. “Very conspiratorial.” She suspected that they had been talking about the pills when she was awake as Kikyo. Not ready to confront the two yet, she smiled and turned back to the daikons.
 
Then there was what InuYasha had whispered in her ear. She had been surprised by the strength of her reaction. In fact, as she thought about it, she found herself getting excited again. “Why do daikons have to be this shape?” she thought, blushing slightly.
 
Mama noticed that her daughter was spending an inordinate amount of time on each daikon and leaned closer to her son-in-law. ”I think it's working,” she whispered.
 
InuYasha didn't say anything, but his nose was telling him Kagome was definitely responding.
 
Mama turned to her daughter. “Kagome?”
 
“Yes, Mama?”
 
“Be more careful around the sink, dear. There's something running down your leg.”
 
Mama Higurashi smiled as Kagome “eeped,” turned a delightfully dark shade of red and rushed upstairs to the bathroom. “Dinner's in an hour, dear,” she called after her.
 
She looked into the living room at her son-in-law and gave him a knowing wink.
 
Grinning, he winked back.
 
Mama giggled and returned to her cooking. If this worked out, she'd have grandchildren on the way by graduation.
 
 
******************
 
 
Kagome stood in the shower, mortified.
 
Hopefully, her mother had only thought she was being sloppy around the sink, but it had been so embarrassing! InuYasha had cut off her panties when they were in the tree. Then there was the episode in her room. And finally (and unbelievably), she had forgotten to put on new underwear before they went downstairs!
 
She turned red again. No, she wouldn't think about that. Nobody had seen anything. But she did think about the effect InuYasha's words had on her. He had whispered in her ear that she should imagine they were making pups and she had…
 
She got out of the shower and looked at herself in the semi-fogged mirror. Did she really want…?”
 
There was a knock on the door. “Oi, wench. Your mom says it's dinnertime.”
 
Kagome wrapped a towel around herself and emerged from the bathroom. For some reason, she couldn't meet InuYasha's eyes. “I'll get dressed.”
 
“Your mom gave me this for you.” InuYasha held out a robe. “She said to just put this on and come down.” When Kagome reached out, InuYasha whipped the towel off Kagome and danced around waving the robe just out of her reach. “Better put your robe on. Come on, Kagome! Ya gotta put your robe on to come to din...”
 
“SIT!”
 
<WHAAAMMMMM>
 
“Thanks for the robe, InuYasha. You can come downstairs when that wears off.”
 
“Bitch.”
 
“Sit.”
 
<WHAAMMM>
 
The hanyou groaned. At least he had already been on the floor for the second sit. “I'll be down in a minute.”
 
“Good boy.”
 
 
******************
 
 
Dinner was winding down when Kagome asked the question.
 
“I'd like to go back and visit Sango, InuYasha.”
 
“Fine. I'll go with you.”
 
“Okay. We're gonna be talking about pregnancy and morning sickness and...”
 
“Did I say I'd go with you? What I meant was that I'd go with you and do a little hunting while you talked with Sango.”
 
“Yes!” thought Kagome. “Maybe you could take Shippou with you and work on his hunting skills.”
 
“Keh.”
 
“It's the weekend, so we'll get a start tomorrow morning.
 
 
******************
 
 
InuYasha was watching a DVD downstairs with Souta, so Kagome took the time to write a note to Kikyo in their shared notebook. She read the note from Kikyo again.
 
“She enjoyed it, huh?” thought Kagome. “Maybe I am rubbing off on her.” If truth be told, Kagome had enjoyed what Kikyo had arranged for her. “Maybe she's rubbing off on me?” Kagome paused in thought. “Who'd have thought she'd be that kinky, though?”
 
Kagome smiled and started writing her note to Kikyo.
 
Dear Kikyo. I have thought about it and, when Kaede and Miroku are ready, I will try their suggestion of a spiritual re-fusion. I cannot go on this way. I am not getting enough sleep and, while InuYasha doesn't really need much sleep, I need at least some.
 
Besides, eventually one of us is going to slip up.
 
I am not sure what will happen, but I suppose some part of you will always remain within me. I pray that you find some solace in this. I do not want to write notes back and forth anymore because InuYasha is learning to read and might find out what's going on. Maybe you could find a way to send me a sign that you agree with this re-fusion?
 
When she was done, she called down the steps. “Coming to bed, InuYasha?” She thought about what InuYasha had said earlier and it excited her again. She smiled and in a moment of inspiration flapped the robe open and closed a few times.
 
“Coming!” yelled InuYasha.
 
Kagome giggled and raced back to her room, barely ahead of her mate. The door closed and her robe was lost in under a minute.
 
 
******************
 
 
When Kagome woke up the next morning, they were both naked and InuYasha was behind her, spooning. But that would mean…
 
Kagome tried pulling away. “One-track mind, that Kikyo.”
 
InuYasha woke up, reached around Kagome's waist and pulled her back into him…hard.
 
“Oomph!” went Kagome. “Oh well. I (oomph) did (oomph) ask (oomph) for (oomph) a (oomph) sign.
 
 
******************
 
 
InuYasha was on a hunting expedition with Shippou. Kaede, Miroku and Kagome were gathered in Kaede's hut while Sango kept watch outside. Kaede and Miroku had put up special wards that would keep InuYasha from hearing what went on inside.
 
Kagome rubbed her butt, which was still a little sore from that morning. “I'm ready to try that re-fusion now.”
 
 
 
A/N: So it's finally time for the re-fusion. Wonder what will happen.
 
InuYasha still hasn't figured out what's up. (Still pleasantly dense.)
 
So will Kagome's soul be unified or not? Will Kikyo be gone or not? Or is life about to become even more complicated?
 
Again, this is a rewrite. Still a “Y” rating, but I wanted to put more emphasis on humor and less on overt sex.
 
As always, please read and review. And thanks!
