All Of You

The Inutachi are on their way towards another rumored jewel shard to the North of Kaede's village. Inuyasha is leading the way, his nose in the air, sniffing silently while his ears twitch every so often. Kagome is walking about two feet behind him and to his right, watching him discreetly from the corner of her eye, Shippo riding on her right shoulder. Sango is about five feet behind Kagome, Kirara in her arms and Hiraikotsu resting neatly on her back, covering her behind from the monks' wandering hand. Said monk is walking beside the taijiya, cursing his luck with her new found ability to hide her bottom from his reach.

Kagome is lost in thought, watching Inuyasha as he unabashedly shows his more Inu characteristics. She loves that recently, he has been less embarrassed to show this side of him and if she can at least be truthful with herself, she finds it really attractive.

The way he constantly lifts his head and scents the air, always so attentive with his surroundings. His golden eyes sparkling in the mid-day sun. His clawed tipped fingers twitching for a fight, yet they can be so gentle when he carries her. A sharp fang poking out of his mouth. His ears, twitching in every direction, catching sounds that no one else in their group, not even Shippo or Kirara, could detect.

She glanced up at his ears then looked away quickly with a blush. She knows Inuyasha is sensitive about the one part of him that marks him as a hanyou. But to her, it's just another part of him that she loves. Even the first time she saw him, she couldn't help herself and gave in to the desire to touch them. She blushed a deeper red as the memory rushes through her mind.

He was in a deep sleep, if you could call it that, pinned to the Goshinboku. He was absolutely magnificent and she had the urge to touch his adorable ears. So she did. She wasn't embarrassed about it at the time but thinking back on it, it probably was a little bit of an invasion of privacy. But she couldn't help it! From the moment she layed eyes on the hanyou, she was absolutely enthralled by his ethereal beauty.

She glanced back at the hanyou of her thoughts and looked away with a small smile of her lips.

She has always had a fascination with his more youkai characteristics. Not that she likes his human form any less, she loves all of him the same. Even transformed as a full youkai, she couldn't help but admire the Adonis in front of her.

But one thing that he seems to never want her to touch, are his ears. She has held his hand, his claws sending tingles wherever they touch. When she stares into his golden eyes, she gets lost in their depths but always looks away in embarrassment at allowing her feelings to run away with her. She has touched his hair many times and he never seems to mind. He shows off his fangs with each of his incredibly sexy smirks. But whenever she reaches for his ears, he gets more standoffish. She wishes she could know why. She understands that he doesn't like what marks him as a hanyou, but he knows she doesn't care about that. He knows she likes him just the way he is. So why is it a bother if she does it?

'Maybe he feels like I'm treating him like a dog.. Trying to pet him..'

She tries to tamp down the guilt of treating him like a dog in the past. She doesn't want to have him reading her emotions again and asking what's wrong. She took a deep breath in and continued to walk in companionable silence.

~•~

About two hours later, the Inutachi make it to a hilltop, overlooking a medium sized village. Kagome feels a familiar tingle race up her spine and gasps. Everyone looks at her and as she exclaimed that she senses a jewel shard in the village, everyone's eyes hardened in their determination as they set off to check it out.

Inuyasha crouched down and without hesitation, Kagome climbed on. Shippo jumped onto Miroku's shoulder, not wanting to get in the way of Kagome and Inuyasha. Sango calls for the nekomata and immediately jumps onto Kirara's back. Together, the group of six rush to the sounds of screaming villagers below the hill and across the dirt road.

When they made it to the entrance of the village, Inuyasha put Kagome down and thrust a protective arm in front of her. He growled as he scented an Oni with an evil aura. Miroku pulled out his Ofuda as he stepped up beside Inuyasha. Sango jumped off of Kirara and readied her giant boomerang. Kagome nocked an arrow and focused her senses on the surrounding area.

"There!" She pointed straight ahead to the center of the village. As they all rushed forward, and around the huts, they saw the giant Oni; a green ogre, at least twenty feet tall, with one eye and only a patch of cloth covering its front below the waist, towering over the scrambling villagers. "The shard is in its neck!"

Miroku ran towards the villagers and helped them to safety, leaving the Oni to his friends, Shippo still clinging to his shoulder.

Kagome readied her arrow as Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha growled as the beast looked his way. The Ogre lifted his large foot and stomped it, causing vibrations in the earth that made Kagome and Sango lose their balance. Kirara caught Sango before she fell, as did Inuyasha with Kagome.

"Shards! Give them to me!" The Oni yelled at the group.

Inuyasha pushed Kagome behind him and pointed his father's fang towards the Ogre. He growled menacingly at the threat before him.

"Feh. Fat chance! Kaze no Kizu!" The wind scar hit the Oni head on, but the victory was short lived when the light dissipated and it shook his large head with barely a scratch.

Shippo, from his spot with the villagers yelled, "The Kaze no Kizu didn't work!"

Kagome quickly stepped around Inuyasha to fire an arrow, but before it could be released, the Oni swiped his large green hand at her. He lifted her to be level with his face and grunted, drool dripping from his lips.

"Give me the shards!"

"Kagome! Damn it!" Inuyasha growled, gripping his sword harder, causing his knuckles to turn white in his fury.

Kagome looked into the ogres eyes and glared at him. "I'm not giving you anything! Put me down!" She struggled in his grasp, causing him to squeeze tighter. Her pain induced scream had Inuyasha seeing red.

"Hiraikotsu!" Sango's boomerang took the Ogre's hand clean off, Kagome falling towards the ground. Blood pouring out of the beasts' wrist like a waterfall.

Inuyasha jumped into the air and caught Kagome swiftly, setting her down within the safety of the villagers and in Miroku's care.

"Don't move!"

"But -"

"No! Stay here." Inuyasha quickly removed his Suikan and dropped it over Kagome's shoulders. Without another word he left to help Sango get rid of the nuisance.

Kagome put her arms through the sleeves, fully wrapping herself in his Suikan and winced at the feeling in her ribs. It's hard to breath. She thinks she may have cracked a rib or two. She watches as Inuyasha lets out more and more of his Kaze no Kizu, along with Sango swiping it with her Hiraikotsu.

Miroku put a hand to her shoulder and gave her a silent warning not to move, that Inuyasha and Sango can handle it. Kagome sighed and decided to help speak to and calm the village women and children.

"Kongōsōha!" Inuyasha's diamond spears were headed straight for the Oni's throat at the same time Inuyasha was swiped away by its remaining giant green hand.

Inuyasha flew backwards a good twenty feet and crushed into a tree on the outskirts of the village. The Oni turned to dust as the spears pierced its throat and the shard fell to the ground.

Kagome heard Shippo gasp and she turned at just the right moment to see Inuyasha thrown and the Oni die.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome dropped what she was doing, ignoring her own pain and ran towards the injured hanyou.

She saw Sango grab the shard, so she ran straight to Inuyasha and crouched down in front of him. He is leaned up against a giant tree, blood trinkling out of his mouth and behind his head. His eyes are closed and his breathing is shallow. His sword lay untransformed by his unmoving body.

Kagome quickly removed his Hadagi as she is already wearing his Suikan and Obi. She gasps at the wounds surrounding his chest and stomach. As the tears started to form behind her eyelids, Miroku walked behind her and silently sat her yellow backback next to her. He left to give her space but did not go too far, in case she needs any help.

Kagome reached into her bag and pulled out her medical kit. The fact that Inuyasha wasn't responding was really worrying her. He would usually be adamant on him not needing any help.

"I'm sorry. This is all my fault." Kagome whimpers silently as she wipes away some of the blood on his face and chest. 'If he didn't give me his armor...' She shook her head of that thought and continued on her work.

She used alcohol wipes to clean and disinfect his chest and stomach and then wrapped his torso up in white gauze. Luckily he wasn't bleeding too much, just extremely bruised. She guessed he has multiple broken ribs. When she lightly moved his head to check the back of it, she had more tears forming at the sight. He must have hit his head hard, for it was bleeding profusely. She wrapped it the best she could to try and stop the bleeding, but there wasn't much more she could do here. She let his head fall back softly against the tree and stood up after refilling her bag.

"Sango."

Her friends walked up to her, having already tended to the villagers, there was no more need to stay. Sango handed Kagome the shard, it purified immediately upon contact and she slipped it into the small jar around her neck.

Kagome looked into the eyes of her worried friends and couldn't stop the tears from falling. "We need Kirara. We have to make it back to Kaede. I think he has a concussion."

Sango called Kirara and told Kagome to go with Inuyasha. Miroku, Sango and Shippo will meet them there. Kagome nodded her head and smiled in thanks. Miroku helped lift the injured hanyou onto the Nekomata's back and then Kagome climbed on behind him with Tetsusaiga clutched in her left hand. She wrapped her arms around him to keep him from falling, wincing slightly at her own injury but was determined to make sure her hanyou was alright.

Kirara took to the sky as soon as her precious cargo was safely on board, heading as fast as she can towards the old miko's village.

The Nekomata rushed the entire way as she knew it was an emergency. She managed to get them there in less than two hours when walking would have taken at least four. Kagome worried her bottom lip between her teeth, Inuyasha still hasn't woken up and it is grading on her nerves.

When Kirara landed softly in front of Kaede's hut, Kagome slid off and grabbed Inuyasha below the armpits, still clutching his sword in one hand, being careful of his injuries. She doesn't know how she managed it, probably adrenaline, but she managed to pull the passed out hanyou into the hut and lay him down on the mat where Kaede treats patients. She leaned his Tetsusaiga up against the wall behind her.

Kaede gasped when Kagome had entered, Inuyasha in her arms, his feet dragging on the ground. She immediately grabbed a collection of herbs from her baskets and crouched down in front of the injured hanyou and panting Miko.

"What has happened, child?"

Between pants, Kagome relayed a shortened version of the events. Tears streaking down her face, she explains how he gave her the firerat so he was unprotected and hasn't woken up since. It's been a couple of hours.

Kaede nodded her head in understanding and unwrapped Kagome's work to Inuyasha's torso just to add some more medicine and to reassess his wounds. Kagome lifted Inuyasha's head to her lap and turned his face to the side to check the back of his head. She took the bandage off and threw it to the side to see how bad the bleeding is.

"He was injured pretty badly here. Is this why he hasn't woken up? Will he be alright?"

When the old miko was finished with his chest and stomach wounds, she didn't worry about re-wrapping them since they were already healing on their own. She turned to assess the wound Kagome seemed to be most worried about and sighed at the sight. She grabbed a medicinal herb from beside her and a dressing wrap. She sat them next to her before cleaning the wound.

"Ay. He will be fine. When he wakes, do not allow him to go back to sleep, but he should be awake within the hour. The bleeding has stopped and his youkai blood has already begun to heal him." Kaede finished by placing the herb on the wound at the back of his head and wrapped it in place using the dressing around his head, careful not to cover his ears.

Kagome sighed in relief and leaned her back against the wall of the hut. She reached over to where her yellow bag sat and pulled out his Hadagi, lifting his head carefully and setting the shirt underneath of him to help him be more comfortable while his head is resting in her lap. She pulled out a bottle of water, chugging half of it down, and then a second bottle and sat it next to her for when he wakes up.

Kaede decided to go tend to the fields to allow Kagome and Inuyasha some privacy.

Kagome looked down at Inuyasha and lightly brushed his bangs out of his face. She noticed how his face seemed to be expressing slight pain and his ears are drooped and unresponsive to the outside world.

She sighed and ran her fingers through the uninjured part of his hair and smiled slightly at him. She can never get over how beautiful he is and now knowing he will be okay, and her adrenaline high has dissipated, she can easily focus on his handsome features. She noticed the wounds on his chest and stomach from the Oni's giant hand are already half way healed, allowing for a nice view of his six pack. She blushed and turned away at the realization that she was staring. Again. She seems to be doing that a lot lately. Any chance there is, she examines his beauty. His face, his eyes, his chest, claws, legs, fangs, ears..

She glanced back to his drooping ears and bit her lip. She's already done it once while he wasn't awake to know. How bad could it be to do it one more time?

She fought down her embarrassment as she slowly ran a finger through one of the furry appendages. 'Soft..' Was the first word to come to mind.

She used a little more force and with the pad of her thumb and pointer finger, straightened out his right ear so it was no longer drooping. She smiled at its upright position. She did the same to the other one and then started to pet both of them at the same time.

Kagome's hands stilled when she felt a soft vibration, almost like a growl come from her lap. She held her breath, waiting for the yelling to come, but instead, the vibration stopped. She let the breath she was holding go and with a curiousity that she couldn't control, started to rub his soft ears again.

When the vibration started up again, she looked closely and realized the pained expression he was having, was completely gone, replaced with a serene and content look in its place. She scratched the base of his right ear and the vibration became louder, so she could easily hear what the sound was. She held back a giggle when she realized what was happening.

'He's.. purring!'

At this realization, she smiles and continues her caresses on his adorable ears. She scratches the base of one while playing with the soft furrs of the other. His breathing started to normalize and his purr escalated.

'How can one man be so cute and arousing at the same time?'

Blushing profusely at her own wandering mind, she tamped down her hentai thoughts and focused on the safe ones. How his ear is flicking every time she tickles a certain spot, and how his purr gets more pronounced when she scratches a different spot. She continues to ignore what the vibrations are doing to her body.

'Get it together, girl!' Shaking her head of those perverted thoughts once again, she continued her caresses. She has no clue how much time has passed, enjoying the time being able to have Inuyasha so close, when she heard his voice.

"Ka..gome."

Kagome's hands paused in their exploration and she blushed as red as the fire rat robe. She looked down into curious golden eyes.

Eyes, half closed and head pounding, he can't really understand what's going on. Just that the feeling of contentment started to cease. He needs more of what he woke up with. Without really thinking, he speaks up.

"Why'd.. ya stop?"

Kagome's eyes widened but not wanting to let this chance go, she lightly scratched his left ear. She smirked smugly to herself when his eyes closed and his head tilted towards her talented fingers. The purr started back up but either he doesn't notice or he is too out of it to care.

"Inu..yasha?"

"Hmm?"

"Umm.. Kaede said you can't go back to sleep once you've woken up."

"Feh.. I ain't tired."

She knows he is lying. His voice is strained, his eyes are closed and he is talking fairly slowly. Plus, if him allowing her to massage his ears is any indication, it's that he isn't fully aware of his surroundings quite yet.

Kagome moved her fingers to the inside of his left ear and lightly stroked upwards to the tip. His purr seemed to turn into a light growl and then she heard what sounded like a moan. Her fingers once again stopped at the unexpected sound.

Inuyasha was enjoying the most content feeling, surrounded by the best scent of peaches and Sakura blossoms and the small scratches and caresses of his ears. He didn't think much of it, just knew he was having the best dream. When he felt those talented fingers move in a way that he's never felt before, he couldn't hold in the growl and the moan as his eyes snapped open. He felt the straining inside of his Fundoshi and looked into Kagome's confused eyes. That's when he realized he wasn't dreaming.

Panicking, he jumped up and sat back on his haunches, head turned away from the young Miko and face rivaling that of a tomato. He would have rushed out of the hut, but the quick maneuver had him gasping and closing his eyes from the pounding in the back of his head.

Kagome was shocked at the moan but pushed that thought aside when Inuyasha moved much too quickly for someone in his condition. She rushed over the two feet he had jumped away and sat on her knees in front of him.

"Inuyasha, you're hurt. You need to relax."

"Feh. I'm fine."

'Back to normal.' Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes. "Come on, just lay back down. I can tell you're still hurting."

Inuyasha looked into her sincere brown eyes and sighed. He knows she's right, he's just embarrassed. No one has touched his ears since his mother and definitely no one has ever caressed them the way that Kagome just did. Just thinking about what it did to him, has his face returning to the reddened color of his clothes. He took a deep breath in and nodded his head to agree that he should lie down. He figures since she didn't mention it, she probably didn't notice.

Kagome smiled at him as she sat back against the wall and placed his Hadagi back into her lap. She lifts the water bottle she had grabbed for him and handed it over. Inuyasha chugged the entire thing before moving and laying his head back onto Kagome's lap. Kagome smiled at his adorable shyness.

Kaede walked in with some sort of liquid and handed the mug to Inuyasha. "Drink. 'Tis will help with ye pain."

"I ain't in pain, ya old hag."

"Inuyasha!"

At Kagome's loud reprimand, his ears flattened to his head and he winced from the pounding against his skull.

Kagome rolled her eyes and held her hand out and Kaede handed her the medicine. "Thanks, Kaede." The old Miko nodded in understanding before once again, leaving the hut. Kagome forced Inuyasha to sit up next to her, having him grumble that he's not a pup, and then she thrust the medicine into his hands. "Drink, or I'll say 'it.'"

Inuyasha gulped and chugged the drink within seconds before grumbling about bossy women. Without a second thought, Inuyasha layed his head back into Kagome's lap, causing her to blush.

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha opened one eye to look up at Kagome before closing it again. "What?" He asked gruffly.

"Can I.. pet your ears?" She blushed and looked away from the shocked expression on his face.

"I ain't a dog, Kagome."

Kagome snapped her face back to his and saw the annoyance in his eyes, but also slight embarrassment. "I'm sorry. I know you aren't a dog, Inuyasha. I just... Please?"

Inuyasha sighed and closed his eyes once more before mumbling out a, "whatever." Kagome squeeled her excitement, causing his ears to flatten once again.

"Sorry." She blushed at her obvious excitement.

Kagome lightly massaged the base of his right ear, causing it to perk back up and then did the same to the left. Inuyasha started to purr softly with each of her caresses. Kagome smiled and hoped that he will allow her to do this again in the future, obviously without company around.

Inuyasha half asleep, murmurs out, "Kagome, you smell nice."

Kagome blushes at the compliment and immediately feels the pull of deja vu.

"Kagome, you smell kind of nice."

"Okay, that's it. You made a point of telling me before that you couldn't stand my scent."

"I did.. But I was lying."

Shaking her head free of the memory of his first human night with her, she continues her soft strokes of his ears.

"I thought.. you didn't like my scent.."

Inuyasha's purr became louder as her fingers stroked more and more confidently.

"I've always liked the way you smell." Inuyasha feels the pounding in his head start to die down from whatever medicine the old woman gave him but his mind is a little foggy. He figures it's a side effect of the drink. He opens bleary golden eyes and gazes into Kagome's confused brown ones. "Like peaches.. and.. Sakura blossoms... nice.."

Kagome's blush became more pronounced as she gazed into his golden eyes. He's obviously delirious. There's no way he would admit to any of this if he was in his right mind.

"Inu - "

"Kago..me." Inuyasha forces his body to sit up, already healing nicely but his head is still fuzzy and his vision is blurry, but he feels as though he can't let this moment go to waste. Not now that he feels he can admit it at the moment.

Kagome removed her hands from his ears and held onto his bare arm as he sat up, making sure he doesn't fall. He leans his right shoulder against the wall and stares into her sparkling brown eyes. She gazes back at him, wondering just what was happening, her heart beating out of control.

Inuyasha moved a stray hair from Kagome's face to behind her ears, causing her breath to catch.

"Inu..yasha?"

Inuyasha leans in slowly, his thumb on her cheek, admiring the blush on the tip of her nose and the racing of her heart. Kagome's hands slowly move to around his neck as if they had a mind of their own. He watches as her eyes glance down to his lips and she unconsciously licks her own lips in anticipation.

"Ka..gome.."

'Is he going to.. kiss me?'

Kagome's eyes go back to his, their lips a breath apart and as she feels the first feather like touch if his lips, her eyes flutter shut. Inuyasha's own eyes follow suit as he closes the distance between them, their lips melding together in a delicate embrace.

His lips were so soft and slightly moist, the first touch of their mouths already had Kagome moaning slightly. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his body. Kagome immediately complied by straddling his lap and moving her lips more confidently against his.

'This is actually happening.. I'm not dreaming. I'm kissing Inuyasha..'

Kagome moved both of her hands from behind his neck to the top of his head, stroking the soft hairs on the inside of his ears. Going from base to tip and back again, had Inuyasha groaning and she could feel the evidence of his arousal rub against her moistening core.

Inuyasha could smell Kagome's desire, causing his own to escalate. Then when she stroked his ears in just the right way, he couldn't control his erection. At first he was mortified, hoping it wouldn't be too much too fast, but that thought was quickly thwarted by her moan and the increase in her spicy aroused scent.

Inuyasha pulled her as close to his body as he could and probed her bottom lip with the tip of his tongue. He didn't want to force anything upon her, but he at least was going to nudge it in the right direction, if she was interested. Judging by her scent, she was definitely very interested.

Kagome moaned once more at the feel of his tongue on her bottom lip, causing her to open her mouth in invitation. She continued to stroke and scratch his ears as his tongue explored her mouth.

Inuyasha couldn't help the groan as he tasted her for the first time. He tentatively wrapped his tongue around hers in a lovers dance, his claws scraping her back a little in his excitement. He had the slight thought that at least she is wearing his fire rat, so he couldn't pierce her skin.

After allowing the hanyou to have his fun, Kagome wanted to have hers. She forcibly plunged her tongue into his mouth and immediately explored along his sharp fangs, causing him to groan and her to shudder in delight. She accidentally scratched his ear a little too hard, but he didn't seem to mind as his focus was completely on her taste and smell. When Kagome started to slowly rock her hips against his groin, Inuyasha almost came in his Hakama.

A second before he was about to pull back for a moment to bring his arousal under control, Miroku, Sango and Shippo burst through the entrance to the hut in a rush, wanting to check on their friend. They immediately stopped their movement, eyes wide and jaws dropped.

At the interruption of people rushing inside of the hut, Kagome stopped rocking her hips, pulled away from his lips and jumped backwards, all in the span of a few seconds. She fell back on her butt and winced as the pain in her ribs became more known. Inuyasha noticed the wince and saw her grab around her middle. For the time being, he ignored the looks of his friends and stood quickly. He grabbed Kagome's wrist and made her stand before angrily glaring at her.

"Are you hurt?"

Kagome is still blushing from what had just occured and being caught doing it that she didn't fully register his question. She shook her head to try and clear it before speaking.

"Huh?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, also trying to get his embarrassment under control with a new distraction. "You were hurt from the Oni, weren't you? Let me see." He started to untie the Suikan still wrapped around Kagome when she swatted his hand away.

"No! I'm fine, Inuyasha." She turns to their still slack jawed friends and gave them a sheepish smile. "I'm gonna go for a walk." She blushes as she leaves the hut and books it away from prying eyes.

Inuyasha growls and follows after her. "Don't follow me." He snarls to his friends as he also leaves the hut.

Miroku was the first to recover from what they had just witnessed. "Wouldn't dream of it. Make sure to tend to all of Lady Kagome's needs." Inuyasha's loud growl from outside made it known that he had heard the lecherous reply. Miroku snickered and turned to see a confused kitsune and a very shocked taijiya.

~•~

Inuyasha followed Kagome but didn't stop her from walking away. He focused on where she was headed and used this time to think about the obvious change in their relationship.

'I can't believe I kissed her!' He shook his head, the feeling of fuzziness now completely gone and with a clear mind, he smirked. 'She kissed me back.'

He looked ahead and saw the young Miko standing in front of the Goshinboku. He stepped just a foot behind her and when she turned around, he was surprised by what had happened next.

Kagome was walking away from the hut, she wasn't upset with Inuyasha, just embarrassed by everything that had happened. He had kissed her and being a hormonal teenager, she couldn't help herself and rubbed her body against his. Not only that, but her hentai friend, soul sister, and the child she cares for, all walked in to see what was happening. She had to get out of there to clear her head.

'He actually kissed me!'

She took a deep breath in to calm her nerves and think about what she will do next. She knows Inuyasha is following behind, but for whatever reason, he isn't stopping her from walking away.

When she makes it to the Goshinboku, she looks up into the branches, her raven hair blowing in the evening breeze and the full moon shining above. She rests her hand on the tree and closes her eyes, feeling the calm return to her aura. When she feels Inuyasha's presence right behind her, she turns and looks into his golden orbs. No sign of regret is present, only curiosity. So she takes the chance to continue where they left off.

Kagome pulled Inuyasha by the back of the neck and crashed her lips to his. The quick motion had them both groaning at the contact. Inuyasha took less then three seconds to react. He growled in delight and backed her up against the Goshinboku.

When Inuyasha growled, it sent shivers up her spine. Then he started to nudge her backwards until her back was up against the tree of ages. Her excitement grew and she moved her hands to the top of his head to caress his furry ears once again.

When Inuyasha felt those talented fingers on his ears, his hips involuntarily thrust into hers, causing a deep moan from the Miko. He grabbed her wrists to pull her hands away from his ears, and held them above her head against the tree. He pulled his mouth away from hers, both of them panting in their excitement.

"You better quit it with the ears, wench."

When Inuyasha had pulled her hands away from his ears, she was disappointed but the disappointment didn't last too long as she was pinned to the tree. This excited her more then anything else has so far. Then his statement had her realizing something.

With a devious smirk, she replied. "Why is that, Inuyasha? Do you like it a little too much?"

Inuyasha blushed but covered up his embarrassment with a growl and a stronger hold of her wrists above her head. He noticed the spike in Kagome's scent and gave his own knowing smirk.

He leaned forward and nuzzled Kagome's neck, giving a small nip, causing her breath to catch. When he pulled back, only a few inches from her face, he spoke.

"What do you want, Kagome?"

The concern in his eyes was obvious. He didn't want to do anything she wasn't ready for and that made her heart soar even higher. Without hesitation, she responded.

"You."

Inuyasha let go of Kagome's wrists and backed up a step, shaking his head in disbelief as he realized just what was happening. "But.. why? Why would you want to be with a half-breed?"

Kagome didn't fully grasp what was so hard for him to understand. She loves him. All of him. But she figures he may not fully realize that yet. This isn't just some hormonal thing making her want to have sex and be done. She loves him and wants to be with him in every way.

Kagome steps forward and turns his face to look back into her sparkling brown eyes. She smiled warmly at him.

"I want to be with you because I love you, Inuyasha."

His eyes widened in surprise. Of course he knew she cared about him, but love? It seemed too good to be true.

"Why?"

Kagome's smile didn't waver as she cupped his cheek. "Because you're you. I love all of you. Human, youkai and hanyou. Haven't you realized that yet?" She lifted his right hand and held it in hers, inspecting his claws one by one. "Your claws could rip me to pieces but I'm not afraid. Never afraid." She leaned in and kissed him lightly, asking for entrance with her tongue. When he opened his mouth for her, she happily stroked his fangs and shivered in delight. When she pulled back, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Your fangs are definitely a plus for me." She stared deep into his golden eyes. "Your eyes remind me of the sunset and sunrise. So beautiful." She looked up at his ears and smiled when they twitched, showing he was intently listening to her words. She lifted her hand to the top of his head and stroked one of his ears lightly. "Your ears were one of the first things I noticed about you and I immediately thought they were adorable." She rests her forehead against his and cups both of his cheeks with her hands. "Don't you see, you silly hanyou? I've never been disgusted by you. I love you as a human on the night of the New Moon. I love you as a youkai, especially knowing it's me who can help change you back when you lose yourself. I love you as the beautiful hanyou I met. I love all of you. Just the way you are."

Inuyasha listened to Kagome speak and the more she spoke about loving the way he looks and loving him.. He began to believe her. Even not scenting any deceit, he was weary from what he grew up being told, but began to realize her words she spoke were true. She really does love everything about him.

By the time she finished speaking, his heart swelled with even more love for this woman. He immediately wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled his face into her neck, causing her to let out a small giggle.

Kagome's own arms wrapped around him and she cuddled her face into his chest with a contented sigh. She isn't upset that he didn't respond with words. She understands that he isn't the best with them, and his actions speak for themselves. She knows he feels the same way. If she didn't feel that he loves her, she wouldn't have put her heart out in such a position to be crushed.

"Kagome.. I.."

Kagome pulled back and put a finger to his lips. "You don't have to say anything, Inuyasha. I know."

Inuyasha removed her finger from his lips and nipped her wrist playfully, causing her scent to change to a more spicy undertone. He smirked at how easily he can do that to her. He leaned in slightly, a breath away from her lips and his smirk widened.

"Where were we, Ka-go-me?"

Kagome put her arms back around Inuyasha's neck and looked into his eyes with her half lidded ones.

"I don't know, Inuyasha. I think you were pinning me to the Goshinboku."

Inuyasha knew she was teasing him but god damn did that bring his erection back to life. Inuyasha growled and in no time at all, had pushed her body back against the tree, her arms pinned above her head.

Her heart quickening and her arousal spiking, has his erection hardening more and more. He presses his body into hers and groans at the moan from the woman in front of him. He leaned in and kissed her lips lightly, pulling back every time she tries to deepen the kiss.

Kagome whines when Inuyasha wouldn't allow her to deepen the kiss for the third time in a row. His chuckle angered her and she huffed as she tries to wiggle her wrists from his hold. When she couldn't get away and he teased her with a light brush of his lips again, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Onegai, Inuyasha. Motto."

Inuyasha's moved both of her wrists to his left hand, freeing his right to do as he pleased and he rested it on her left hip.

"What do you want?"

Kagome licked her lips and practically begged him. "I want you to kiss me, onegai."

Inuyasha's youkai is purring at the way this woman is begging for him. He leans in and gives her a slightly deeper brush if his lips but pulled back once again as she goes to deepen it with her tongue.

Her whine had his Inu growling. "Submit."

Kagome opened her eyes to look into his and saw the red rimmed golden orbs of her hanyou. She finally understands. As a half Inu youkai, he needs her to allow him to take control. She thought back to what she learned about dogs and dog demons in general. She bared her throat for him in an act of trust and submission.

Inuyasha's surprise at her action lasted all of two seconds before his Inu youkai side aided him in what to do next. He growled his approval and sunk his fangs into the pulse point in the side of her throat. He didn't mark her as his, not yet, but he showed her that he is the dominant one and she will submit to him.

Feeling his fangs sink in to her had her moan out in complete bliss. The small sting only added to the pleasure she is feeling. When she felt Inuyasha lick the wound, she sighed and bared her neck further for him.

After healing the small wound with his tongue, he kissed his way back to her mouth and kissed her lips lightly, pleased that this time, she is allowing him to lead the kiss. He pulled away, causing Kagome to whine in protest. He pulled her towards him by her hands and then started to untie the Suikan still tied around her body.

When the Obi and Suikan fell to the ground, leaving her in her normal school uniform, he rested his hands on her hips and looked lovingly into her eyes.

"Is this what you want, Kagome? To be mine?"

Kagome slid her hands up Inuyasha's bare chest to around his neck and smiled up at him. "Always."

Inuyasha nuzzled her chin and kissed her shoulder softly. "This will be forever, Kagome. Once we do this, you will have my life span and there is no going back."

Tears burning her eyelids, she hugged him as tight as she dared, causing her to wince from the injuries she had previously forgotten about, but the news of forever with Inuyasha outwayed any pain she could possibly be feeling.

"You baka! Of course I want that! I love you so much, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha pulled back just slightly to look into her sparkling eyes with unshed tears, but her scent only showed happiness. No sadness, no trepidation. He smiled a true smile and kissed her lightly.

"I.. I love you too, Kagome."

Kagome's happiness at his words had her practically glowing. Inuyasha lightly moved a loose strand of her raven hair out of her face to behind her ear and rested his forehead against hers. They closed their eyes and just reviled in this moment together.

"Utsukushī." Inuyasha whispered before connecting his lips back to hers.

Kagome gasped at him calling her beautiful and accepted his lips with so much joy bursting from within, she can't wait any longer. She pulled him closer to her by the back of his neck and rubbed her front against his erection, hoping to speed things along. He has truly surprised her with his words and actions tonight. If he wasn't a hanyou with blood that has him almost completely healed, she would have thought he had a more serious head injury.

Inuyasha smirked against her lips at her actions. He lifted her up and she immediately hooked her legs around his waist. He carefully layed her down on the soft patch of grass under the Goshinboku, without releasing her mouth from his.

After she was laid down flat on her back, she returned her hands to his ears and stroked them the way she found has him go crazy with desire. It had the immediate effect and he thrust his body into hers. She gasped at the feeling of his hardened length against her sopping core.

Inuyasha growled and pulled back from her mouth just long enough to swipe the top half of her clothes off off her into pieces. Once the top half of her was completely bare to his gaze, and the scent of her arousal with the action hit his nose, he dropped his mouth to one of her pert nipples.

When Inuyasha pulled his lips away, she thought he was going to take her hands from his ears again. Instead, he swiped the top half of her clothes off and she would have been angry if she wasn't so turned on by the action. When his hot, wet mouth went to her nipple, she moaned and arched her back to get even closer to him.

Inuyasha swirled his tongue around the beaded flesh and when he scraped his fang across it, she moaned in bliss. He used his other hand to squeeze her other breast and pinch her other nipple, causing Kagome to become a writhing mess beneath his ministrations.

When he felt her tongue and mouth surround the tip of one of his ears, he moaned uncontrollably and accidentally bit her breast harder then intended.

"Fuck!" He immediately licked the wound clean from the drop of blood he caused.

Kagome was in heaven with Inuyasha paying so much attention to her breasts. She saw how close his ears were to her mouth as she was still rubbing them both, which gave her an idea. She leaned forward and licked the tip of his ear before enclosing her mouth around it and sucking. His reaction was a bite to her breast above her nipple pretty hard, but the sting of the action only turned her on more. She heard him curse and she threw her head back when he started to heal the sting with his talented tongue. She continued to scratch and rub his ears as he continued to pay attention to her breasts.

"It's.. okay.. Inuyasha. Felt.. good." She tried to explain between pants that the bite wasn't an issue, she hoped he understood.

He calmed his own racing heart and focused his senses to be able to better read her feelings. He took a deep breath in and could scent her heightened arousal, causing him to growl in satisfaction. He slowly removed her hands from his ears and held them above her head as his mouth reacquainted itself with hers. Kagome's small moans of pleasure are going to make him lose control, but he is determined to make her feel as good as possible before he takes his own pleasure.

Without being able to use her hands, Kagome locks her legs around his waist and rocks up into his erection. Inuyasha groaned as he plunged his tongue into her mouth. When he pulled his mouth away after a moment, he released her hands and smirked down at her.

"Keep your hands to yourself, koi."

Unable to respond with words, she could only nod her head in understanding as she kept her hands above her head. She watched as he kissed and licked down her body, leaving a trail of saliva in his wake.

"Lower your legs."

She did as she was told and unwrapped her legs from around his waist, laying flat on the ground below him.

He started at each breast, licking around her nipples and then sucking them into his mouth. Starting with one and then giving the same treatment to the other. Lowering a little bit more, he saw the bruising on her rib cage and looked into her eyes with concern. He was about to back off when Kagome's voice stopped him.

"I'm fine, Inuyasha. Onegai. If you stop, I will 'it' you all the way to hell. Onegai, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha shook his head in amusement and leaned forward to kiss and lick her wounds. It won't help her heal the way it would if it was an open wound, but it will still help a little bit. It will also be healed by morning since the mating will be complete.

Kagome's head went back down to the ground and her eyes closed in delight. She really would not have hesitated in sitting the stubborn hanyou if he got her all worked up just to stop because of a tiny injury. One that isn't even bothering her!

Inuyasha licked around Kagome's belly button and when he made it between her legs, he didn't hesitate in swiping her skirt and undies right off with his claws.

Kagome looked down at him and blushed slightly but didn't try to cover herself up. She has wanted this for months. She won't allow herself to be embarrassed.

Inuyasha grabs both of her thighs and spreads her legs wide open for him, leaning forward and giving her moist core a tentative lick. His youkai purred and his human moaned. Her taste is even better then her scent.

Kagome's eyes rolled back and she moaned as he started to lick her most private area. She locked her hands together above her head to keep from giving in and reaching for his ears.

"Fuck, Kagome. You taste so good."

He licked her slowly from her slit up to her clit and paid attention to each of her moans and cries of pleasure. When his tongue swiped across the bud of flesh, her hips bucked and she moaned out his name. He really wants to hear her say his name like that over and over again.

Inuyasha used his right hand to lightly probe her opening, taking some of the slickness and then rubbing it around her clit. The noises she is making, is making his cock harder then ever before. But he wants to take his time with her. He wants his soon-to-be mate feeling as good as possible.

He puts his left arm over her stomach to hold her thrusting hips down as his right hand continues its exploration. He dips his middle finger, careful of his claws, inside of her slowly. The scent of her arousal is at its peak and he knows it won't take much to make her orgasm.

"Onegai, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha smirked up at his beautiful woman and pulled his finger out of her, licking it clean. "Patience, koibito."

Kagome whines in response but otherwise doesn't argue. She opened her eyes back up to watch him pleasure her. She notices his eyes are more red then before, but not overly so. Still, she could never be afraid of him.

Inuyasha continued to enjoy his fun, knowing that he is working her up this much is making him want to rut her hard and fast, but he is holding it back. He needs to make her reach absolute euphoria.

He slowly pushes his finger back into her soaked core as his tongue licks circles around the hardened nub that seems to be where she gains the most pleasure.

"Ah! Inuyasha.."

Inuyasha growls his pleasure as he thrusts his finger in and out of his Miko, his tongue moving faster around her clit. The vibrations of his growl caused Kagome to gasp and throw her head back and side to side. She wants to touch him, but he told her not to. Her knuckles are turning white with how hard she is squeezing her hands together to keep from using them.

Inuyasha adds a second finger and speeds up his thrusts while licking an sucking the nub harder and faster. He can feel Kagome's walls start to tighten around him, her moans are gaining in volume and her body is writhing beneath his hold. His youkai is pleased at its ability to make its mate feel this good.

"Inu.. Kami, yes!"

Kagome's back arched as Inuyasha's fingers moved even faster and his mouth sucked harder on her nub while growling a continuous vibration against her core.

Inuyasha felt the fluid of her orgasm on his hand and her walls fully clench around his fingers as she reached her climax, screaming his name. He pulled his fingers out and replaced them with his tongue, making sure to collect every drop of her release before licking off his fingers.

He crawled up her body and smirked down at the panting Miko below him. When Kagome opened her eyes, she couldn't keep her hands to herself any longer. She grabbed him by the back of his neck and slammed her lips to his. The taste of herself on his tongue is adding fuel to the proverbial fire, igniting her arousal once more.

Inuyasha was once again surprised by her actions. He didn't expect her to want to kiss him after what he just did, and not only did she kiss him but her arousal spiked as her tongue danced with his.

Kagome moved her hands to his chest to feel his naked flesh, moving from the muscles on his arms to the ones on his pecks and down his stomach. Anything she can reach, she wants to touch. When she makes it to his Hakama, she wastes no time in loosening it and sliding it down his legs. Inuyasha helps by kicking them off and by the time they are fully removed, Kagome already untied and got rid of his Fundoshi.

Inuyasha growled and pulled away from her lips as soon as her hand encircled his hardened cock. Kagome whined at the loss of his mouth but she didn't stop what she was doing. She looked into Inuyasha's eyes and saw he was having trouble keeping his youkai in check. His eyes were flashing from red to gold and back again, and the purple stripes were fading in and out on his cheeks.

She continued to stroke him lightly with her right hand while her left hand cupped his cheek and she stared into his eyes.

"It's okay, Inuyasha. I'm not afraid. I love you, all of you. Let it happen, koibito."

She wasn't surprised when he physically relaxed from her words. She continued to feel his length while she watched the change take over his body. His eyes fully faded to crimson with light blue irises in the center. A single purple stripe appeared on each cheek. His fangs grew in size, poking out of his mouth. His claws grew also, slightly digging into the dirt near her head.

Still, no scent of fear can be detected from his mate.

Kagome stroked the purple stripe on his cheek with the pad of her thumb and gazed into the eyes of her youkai mate, her right hand never stopping its exploration of his cock.

"Will you make me your mate, Inuyasha?"

She turned her head to the side in a show of submission and was pleased when his fangs immediately clamped down on her throat. She moaned and smiled when she realized he was being careful not to overdo it, even in this form.

Inuyasha grabbed her hand from his erection and held it above her head, along with her other arm. He held both of her wrists in his left hand while his right moved down her body to grasp his dick and line himself up with her dripping opening.

He licked the wound his fangs created and moved his mouth to hers, kissing her soundly to distract her from the pain her first time might cause.

As he started to slip inside, she wrapped her legs around his waist and moaned into his mouth as he got deeper and deeper. She figured that she lost her barrier sometime in the past while being thrown around and fighting demons, so there was no pain present. Just a small discomfort from being stretched in a new way, but it quickly became pleasurable when he completely sheathed himself inside of her.

Inuyasha pulled back from her mouth to look into her eyes and smirked. She showed no sign of pain. There was slight discomfort but she is feeling good again. He leaned in and licked her chin in slight apology for any discomfort she may have felt and then pulled out slowly and pushed back in.

Kagome moaned as he started a slow an even pace inside of her. It felt so good, but she needed more. She tried to pull her wrists from his grasp but he growled at her, making her whine.

"Onegai, Inuyasha. I want to touch you."

Inuyasha growled but released her wrists anyway, moving his hands to behind her head. Kagome immediately wrapped her hands around his back and enjoyed the feeling of his muscles against her skin. She slid her hands up towards the back of his neck and then to the top of his head. When she made it to his ears, she started to caress them in slow circles.

As soon as her fingers made contact with his ears, Inuyasha's slow thrusts increased in speed and power. Kagome moaned and arched her back into him. Inuyasha bent his face forward and nipped her neck in reprimand but she didn't stop her caresses on his ears.

Kagome whispered against his ear, her hot breath making him shiver. "Let go, Inuyasha. Onegai. Show me the speed of a demon." She ended the sentence with a small nip to the tip of the furry appendage.

As soon as she nipped his ear, he growled and thrust inside if her much harder and faster then before. Kagome's head fell back and her hands grabbed his shoulders for support, leaving small crescent shapes where her fingernails latched on.

"Yes! Kami, Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha growled as he started to prepare the spot between her shoulder and neck for his mark. He licked and lightly nipped and then healing the sting with more of his tongue. His woman is going crazy, thrusting up against him and writhing beneath him.

"Faster!"

Inuyasha groaned and Kagome moaned louder then ever before as he sped up his thrusts so fast that she could no longer keep up. Her hands moved to his back once more and she scratched much harder then she meant to, unable to control herself any longer.

"Bite me when I bite you, koi."

Kagome was slightly shocked when she heard him speak a full and coherent sentence. It was a lower tone of voice then normal but it just proves he is still himself.

"Yes, Inuyasha."

He growled his appreciation as his thrusts became more and more erratic at each passing second. He could feel her walls start to tighten but his own orgasm is approaching much too fast.

"Touch yourself. Cum with me."

Kagome immediately did as she was told and reached between them to rub her clit as he continued with his fast and deep thrusts. She moaned louder and louder as her orgasm got closer and closer to its peak.

"Inu..yasha!"

Her body started to spasm out of control at the same time she felt hot liquid enter her awaiting womb. She felt his fangs sink into the spot between her shoulder and neck, so she did as she was told and bit him as hard as she could.

Inuyasha's thrusts slowed down slightly as his youki started to enter her bloodstream. He moaned when he felt a warmth enters his. When they opened their eyes, they realized exactly what the warm and tingly feeling is.

A red aura is swirling around Kagome's body and a pink one is swirling around Inuyasha's. They are infusing each others blood stream with their own power as the bond between them grows. After they released their clenched jaws from each others shoulders, they both licked at the mark being infused in the skin.

Kagome's head collapsed back to the ground and Inuyasha rolled off of her and to her side, pulling her body against his. He reached over and grabbed his Suikan to drape over their naked bodies and Kagome cuddled her face into his chest with a happy sigh. She craned her head back to look into his now golden eyes. She smiled up at him, gave him a sweet kiss and cuddled back into his body.

"I love you, my mate."

Kagome smiled and squeezed around his torso even harder. "I love you too, saiai."

Inuyasha stroked Kagome's hair and nuzzled his nose into her neck, taking a big breath in. Smelling the scent of Kagome mixed with him, making them mates, has his happiness soar. He let out a happy purr as her fingers made their way back to his ear to stroke it softly.

Kagome, half asleep mumbled, "I love your ears."

Inuyasha can't fathom why that would be but he doesn't question it. He is the luckiest hanyou alive to be with a woman like Kagome. Not even ten seconds later, Kagome's breathing evened out and her hand fell from his head to rest on his chest. Inuyasha snickered to himself as he closed his eyes, keeping an ear out for any intruders.

~•~

As the sun was beginning to rise above the horizon, Inuyasha's ear flicked in the direction of the village. His nose twitched and his eyes snapped open. He growled low and turned to his sleeping mate.

"Kagome. Get up."

Kagome shook her head and cuddled in closer. "Uh-Uh."

"Now. Miroku's coming."

Still not fully awake and not quite understanding the problem, she sighed. "Tell him to go away. I'm tired."

Inuyasha growled again, flipped Kagome onto her back and attacked her mouth with his lips and tongue. Kagome's arms immediately went around his neck and she moaned when he nibbled on her bottom lip. Inuyasha pulled back and looked down into the lust filled eyes of his beautiful mate.

"If you don't want me to kill the lecherous monk for seeing my mate naked, then get up and get dressed!"

Kagome's eyes widened at the realization of what is happening. "Kuso!" She pushed him off of her, jumped up and saw her shredded clothing around them on the ground. She turned and glared at him. "My cothes! How do you expect me to get dressed!?"

Inuyasha is on his ass from when she shoved him over, and still in his momentary shock at her curse. Then she turned around to glare at him but all he could think about was, 'boobs.' Even though he thoroughly examined her body last night, this is the first time he can openly stare in the daylight without getting sat.

Kagome saw where his line of sight was and she groaned, putting her fingers to her temples. "Really Inuyasha? You're acting like a hentai. What do you think Miroku will do when he comes and sees me like this!?"

That seemed to snap him out of it. He quickly grabbed his Suikan and scrambled to his feet. He thrust it at her and then put his Fundoshi and Hakama back on. When he turned back to his mate, she was fully wrapped in his Suikan and Obi. He let out a sigh of relief that was short-lived when Miroku's voice reached their ears.

Miroku walked up to the scene and smirked his usual lecherous grin at his friends. Kagome is dressed in Inuyasha's Suikan but her school uniform is in shambles all over the place. Inuyasha is only in his Hakama and they both have matching blushes.

"Hello there my friends. How was your evening? I do wonder why neither of you came back last night." He waggled his eyebrows at them, causing Kagome to hide her face into Inuyasha's bare back and Inuyasha to growl menacingly.

"Shut up, pervert! It ain't your damn business!"

Miroku chuckled lightly and shook his head in amusement. "Don't you worry, my friend. Although, if you wanted to keep this a secret, then why choose such obvious placements for the mate marks?" His grin widened when their faces paled.

Inuyasha growled but Kagome's hand on his arm stopped him. "It's alright, Inuyasha. They are our friends. There's no need to hide this from them."

Inuyasha crossed his arms, "feh. I wasn't gonna, but it don't mean I want the lech to know everything we do and when we do it!"

Miroku chuckled, "I will try not to follow you both from now on. I was honestly worried when you did not come back throughout the night. I will meet you both back at Kaede's, our friends would like to know what you were up to." He turned to leave and hearing Inuyasha's growl made him snicker once again.

"Damn it. That damn monk."

Kagome turned his face to hers and kissed him lightly. "It's okay, Inuyasha. All that matters is this." She moved her finger tips to stroke his mark and it immediately caused an erection and a moan. Kagome's eyes turned mischievous. "Whoa." She went to do it again but his hands stopped her and pinned her arms to her sides.

"If you don't want a repeat of last night, quit it wench."

Her eyes sparkled and her grin widened. "Who says I don't want that?" She leaned in and brushed her lips to his. "But this time, I want to be on top."

Inuyasha groaned at her words and pulled the Suikan right off of her body, baring her naked flesh to his gaze.

~•~

About two hours later, they finally came back to Kaede's hut. After their second and third round, they went to the future for some clothes for Kagome. She took a shower and got dressed before they came back with a few treats for Shippo and extra Ramen for Inuyasha.

When they walked into the hut, immediately all eyes were on them. Miroku was grinning, Sango looked confused and Shippo was just happy to see Kagome. He immediately jumped into Kagome's arms and hugged her tight.

"Kagome! Where were you? I missed you!" His nose twitched and his eyes widened. "Wow! You and Inuyasha are mates!"

Sango gasped, which means Miroku kept it a secret for them to tell on their own. Kagome and Inuyasha were both grateful. But now that Shippo exclaimed it out loud, they had to explain.

They all sat in a circle and listened to Kagome tell them what had happened after they left yesterday on Kirara. She left out some of the details, but she basically explained how one thing led to another and they admitted their true feelings.

"Can I see your marks?" Sango asked curiously. She was always fascinated with youkai, and mating marks were very interesting to her.

Kagome smiled and moved her hair from her neck to show her right shoulder. Everyone gasped at what they saw. It was a beautiful full moon in the night sky with pinks and reds swirling around the darkness. Underneath the moon was the kanji for 'mine' and 'forever.'

When they looked at Inuyasha's which was placed on his left shoulder, it was the same looking moon with the same colors, and the kanji for 'love' and 'perfect.'

Shippo looked at Inuyasha's mark with confusion. "I don't understand. What does Inuyasha's mean? Perfect?" He cocked his head to the side.

Kagome smiled and looked into the kitsune's big green eyes. "It means that to me, he is perfect." She turned to gaze into Inuyasha's love filled eyes and lifted her hand to stroke one if his furry ears. "All of you."
