Fireserpent16 - Why? It's one of those minor not important stories. Maybe as an epilogue chapter, but not until there are at least 5 comments, from other people, saying the same thing.

When I woke up my back felt like it was on fire. I groaned. I buried my head in deeper in to the soft thing in front of my face. Wait. Why was on something soft and warm? Was I dead? I raised my head a bit and I saw a bright pink pillow. So I was back in Kagome's room was I? That would explain it. Well I'd have to sneak out because I as sure as hell didn't want to go through that again. I looked to my left and saw the slowly waning moon outside the open window. I tried to push myself up but the pain was almost too much.

“Don't!” snapped a feminine voice. “You wounds will reopen if you don't stop moving,” she said as she tried to push me back down. I ignored her continued to try to sit up. She tried with all her might but to no avail, so then she took advantage of my masculinity. Her knee came up and nailed me right between the legs. Naturally, I feel onto the bed protecting it from any other damage.

I glared at her. “If you had listened to me I wouldn't have had to,” she stated calmly. “Well excuse me for not wanting a repeat performance on my back, Sango,” I snapped. “Well I couldn't exactly just let you hurt yourself again now could we?” smirked Sango. I heard chuckling from the corner. I looked and saw Miroku. I glared at him too. If only I hadn't been whipped or a girl hadn't kneed me in the crotch then I could go chase them down and kill them all, but alas no.

I sighed dejectedly. “Where's Kagome?” I barked. Considering that she'd defended me at the gallows, I figured I could use an ally. “She's sleeping over there, so keep it down, dog-breath,” commanded Sango. I glared at her for the use of my Inu-Youkai heritage. I looked over to her, intending on waking her up, but then I saw her. She had bags under eyes and was trembling in her sleep. This mellowed me up a bit. I sighed again and asked, “What happened to her?”

“She was up for most of the day tending to your injuries. I was finally able to get her to sleep,” replied Sango. He frowned. She had forced herself into a painful sleep for me? I didn't know what to think.

“Fine,” I said, “Go back to sleep, I will cause no more trouble for her sake.” Sango seemed pleased with my answer then she settled next to Miroku. She put her head on his shoulder and he put his head on hers. Hello. What was going on over there? I gave Miroku a look that said, “How you end up there?” He gave me a look that clearly said, “A man never tells.” I rolled my eyes at him, and focused on getting back to sleep.

I woke up with a start. Someone had put on a kimono over my back. The same person was fingering their fingers through my hair and was playing with my ears. I rolled onto my side to see Kagome. “No, you injuries,” she objected quietly. I rolled my eyes and pulled her onto the bed. She squeaked in protest. Her hand landed on my chest and she blushed. I put my hand on hers when she tried to move it a way. “Why?” I asked quietly. It was a simple question.

She sighed and said, “Why what?” She didn't fool me and she knew it. She sighed again and said, “I… I feel like I should care for you, you know like a wife.” I looked at her. Had she really just admitted to feeling like my mate? “Well that would explain why I have a burning desire to protect you,” I replied quietly. She looked into my eyes to see if I was lying. I wasn't. “What does it mean though?” she whispered. “It means that,” I hesitated, “That we should be mates.”

“Really?” she said, trying not to sound hopeful. I laughed softly. I flicked my eyes at the door just to make sure then… “Don't worry,” she said, her gaze had followed mine, “its lock…” I stopped her by placing a loving kiss on her delicate lips. It was slow yet innocent yet passionate. When we broke apart she slipped her hands in front of her chest, blushing. I smiled, it just felt so perfect. She hesitantly rested her head against my chest. I rested my head on hers. We sighed and slowly drifted off into slumber……
