Since Inu and Kagome hook up offically in the end of the series and spend the rest of their lives together, how long will it last, I mean in aging process.
Kagome being human would age alot faster than Inu.
Hope she's one of the lucky ones who lives to be a 113.
Orcas are the best.
Dunno, Kagome was I believe 17 when she decided to stay in Feudal Japan for good so she still has many happy years with Inuyasha ahead of her. There's also the definite possibility of children, so Inuyasha will have them to care for when Kagome eventually dies. Either that or he'll follow her to the afterlife. Just my guess.
shareThe aging thing is really messed up in Inuyasha, but I think they basically age at the same rate. When he was shot with the arrow, it sent him into a standstill. No aging, no nothing. Since the spell was broken, he's free to age again.
I think demons get to chose how old they look. Because you will see demons hundreds of years old like Sesshomaru look like he's 20 and other demons look like they're 40. I think they choose how young they want to look.
Apart from physically aging, Kagomes screwed cos she's dying millenniums before Inuyasha. But I feel like after Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kaede and Shippo dies Inuyasha won't see any point in living either.
There's not really anything to indicate that youkai choose how old they look. It's more like different kinds of youkai age at different rates. Inuyasha will certainly age more slowly than Kagome (note that the third movie, admittedly non-canonical, establishes Inuyasha as two hundred years old at the time Kikyou sealed him to the tree) and will outlive her and the rest of the gang (aside from Shippo; kitsune are also established as being quite long-lived, and Shippo's young to begin with) significantly.
So that's a bummer. But they'll still have a good long time with each other before then, and even if Inuyasha and Kagome don't have any children, there will still be Miroku and Sango's children for Inuyasha to look out for. I don't see him giving up on life after Kagome's gone.

I still stand by my theory that they get to choose somewhat. I mean, Sesshomaru gets to choose what form he's in (a semi-human looking form or full demon form aka a giant dog) and their father got to, too.
His father was full demon, yet he looked the same age as Izayoi. There has to be some sort of choice there.
I'm still only talking physically, of course.
There's just really not anything in the series to suggest it. Using Inu no Taisho as an example doesn't really work very well considering that we never fully see his face, but in any case, it's more likely that he and Izayoi met and fell in love while they happened to be at roughly the same stage of maturity (not hard, when he'd probably look pretty much the same for a good hundred-odd years), just like Inuyasha and Kagome did, rather than Inu no Taisho intentionally matching his appearance to hers.
The simpler explanation is that, since they're a long-lived breed, they're naturally going to age at a much slower rate so they're going to keep looking like they're in a given stage of physical maturity for a lot longer. To continue using the third movie as an admittedly dubious example, Sesshoumaru looks slightly but noticeably younger in the prologue - he appears to have aged maybe four or five years' worth in a period of 250 years.
I don't see how being able to transform into a dog means they'd have any particular control over the details of how either form looks. They're not foxes like Shippo who can change their shape at will (and even Shippo's shapeshifting ability has its limits). If they could control how old they looked, why wouldn't younger youkai like Inuyasha and Shippo make themselves look more adult? Why wouldn't older youkai like Totosai make themselves look younger? Why wouldn't Manten give himself a full head of hair or make himself look more like Hiten like he wants to be?
It doesn't make any sense based on what we see in the series.

Maybe you're right, but all things considered, if they were to continue the manga I truly do think that Rumiko would have Inuyasha and Kagome age at the same rate. It may not make sense logically, I have my reasons for thinking this.
1. in Kanketsu-hen, 3 years has passed since the well closed up. Yet, Kagome looks the exact same as she did the day she went to the feudal era for the first time.
2. in one of the first episodes, when Kagome goes back home, she gets her shard of the jewel stolen by Yura of the hair. Yet when Inuyasha comes to get her, she can still pass through. And then the episode 'Go back to your own time Kagome' she can't come back through because she doesn't have a shard of the jewel with her.
3. Like the one above, but for the last few episodes when she didn't have the jewel she could still pass freely.
4. Kikyo has died like 30 times, yet she seems to always (Well... except for the last time, I guess) make it out alive.
5. Kikyo's 'ray of light' kept Kohaku alive
6. Kagome gets back into feudal Japan by realizing her own feelings are blocking the well.
These don't technically make sense in the story (not that I really care or anything, I love Inuyasha) but they still work. Even though logically it probably makes sense that Inuyasha ages so much slower, I think if the series was to be continued, they would age at the same rate because it works for the story, not logically.
Eh. I think you're exaggerating these "inconsistencies" to support your idea. In particular, Kikyou doesn't die nearly that often; she only actually dies twice, and has two more "no one could have survived that!" moments, one of which leaves her very close to death until Kagome helps save her. And while the need for a shard in order to travel through the well is enforced inconsistently in the anime, that's because it was never a requirement in the manga in the first place - the anime added it in and had little choice but to ignore it for stories that required Kagome to be able to come and go without shards.
In any case, it doesn't really matter since a continuation is highly unlikely. I certainly can't change your mind, I just don't see any basis for the idea other than that you feel it makes for a happier ending. Which, truthfully, I find unnecessary. It doesn't bother me that Inuyasha will outlive Kagome; the ending is still plenty happy as it is.

Oh well.
It wouldn't bother me, either to be honest. I was just saying that based on certain scenarios that I've seen from the show, I would think that Rumiko would do something like have them age according to each other. I ditched the theory that they had some sort of say because I saw the flaws in that theory, and I'll admit that.
I did say you were probably right on a technical level too, lest we forget.
And I don't think I exaggerated anything, except for saying that Kikyo died 30 times.
