NARRATOR

The night after Inuyasha and Kagome's love episode, the group awoke to find Kagome in Inuyasha's arms wrapped in his red kimono. They left the couple in peace as they waited for the couple to wake up for their breakfast while making sure the entire vicinity is cleared for demons or any alliances to their enemies. When the gang was done with the search, the couple woke up and walked to the hut, with Kagome's hair completely raveled and Inuyasha's in a neater but still messy condition.

 

“Good morning you two”, Kaede said trying to stifle her laughter at the sight of the couple. Kagome and Inuyasha responded simultaneously with a simple, “Good morning”, in response. “How you feeling Kagome?”, Sango asked snickering a little. Kagome didn't catch onto her laughter and responded idly with a, “Better but still a little weak”, before being lifted off her feet by Inuyasha. She shriek before laughing as he sat her in his lap saying, “Then you should be saving your strength”, and planting a kiss on her cheek. Kagome in reply ignore Shippo's gags before kissing Inuyasha in response. Miroku however didn't get the joke. “Should the ladies check your bandages?”, he asked a bit concerned for the young woman he took on as a little sister. Kagome begins groaning as Kaede kicked all the males out of the room with the exception of Inuyasha- he simply wouldn't move. “There isn't anything I haven't seen before”, he said making Kagome blush as Sango laughs and Kaede raises an eyebrow. Sango turns Kagome around to untie the kimono before helping Kaede remove some of Kagome's bandages. In doing this, the two see some of Kagome's cuts reopened. Kaede clears her throat as she sees a few hand prints on Kagome's breast side. “What? What's wrong?”, Kagome asked beginning to worry. Sango leans over Kaede's shoulder and grin saying, “Inuyasha…what did you do to Kagome?” Inuyasha was about to give his normal “keh” response when he examines Kagome's back more closely to see his hand prints forming around her reopened bruises. “I don't feel a thing while I'm in your arms Inuyasha”, Kagome said reassuringly as Inuyasha lightly kiss her forehead and replying with the famous “Keh”. After her bandages were reapplied the men were allowed to come back inside of the hut.

Kagome and Inuyasha didn't stick around for long though because they wanted more time to embrace each other so as they left the hut to go to their own little cabin, they bumped into an old friend. “There you are!”, Ayame said the moment she caught sight of Kagome before charging towards her. Inuyasha quickly jumps in front of Kagome and holds Ayame back. The entire commotion causes the gang to come outside. “What do you want with Kagome?”, Inuyasha said holding Ayame in an arm lock. The white fur armor wearing red head quickly became enrage as she shouted out loud, “THAT CONCUBINE WHORE HAS BEEN INTERFERING WITH MY MATE!” The entire group had an expression of confusion upon their faces as Sango spoke up. “Kagome has only been here and back to her home.” “Wait, you're mate wouldn't happen to be Kouga would it?”, Miroku asked intrigued at the new twist of events. “All he does is think about her. Even when I have given him all my heart, he compares me to her. Then yesterday when he comes home, there are so many bruises all over him and I smell her scent all over him as well as the hanyou. What else am I supposed to think?! The only thing that came to my mind is that they were fucking and Inuyasha catches his mate in an affair and beats on Kouga. I asked him to tell me what's wrong and he won't even speak to me…he looks so lost … that whore has bewitched my Kouga!”, Ayame ranted on, pointing fingers at Kagome before Kagome silenced her by unwrapping Inuyasha's red kimono and exposing the bandages and bruises that still showed. Everyone gasps as Inuyasha attempts to wrap his kimono over his mate's body only to be stopped with Kagome whispering to him to let her “handle” it.

“Funny thing about Kouga, huh? He becomes obsessed with me and me BEING A FOOL actually dismiss it and keep him at a distance as a trusted friend. He takes advantage of my naïveté and ignores my cries of pain. Kouga successfully made me feel DISGUSTING by trying to rape me. If that's the type of mate you want to defend then so be it…but I will not stand here and have you BERATE ME FOR SOMETHING I NEVER DID when it's obvious who's to blame. My scars can't heal, and I'm not talking about the visible ones but the ones on my soul”, Kagome finished while trying to hold back the barrage of tears forming. Inuyasha then walks up to Kagome and cover her with his kimono before pulling her against his chest and holding her in attempt to stop her from crying. It works but then Ayame begins to cry and Kagome unleashes herself from Inuyasha to calm the crying girl in front of her. Everyone's mouths are still agape at the sound of Kagome's striking words. “I never knew… I feel so foolish blaming you… I didn't know… I… I”, Ayame muttered between her tears. Sango then felt the air change and watched as Inuyasha begins to growl low in his throat. “Kouga…”, Shippo mouthed as he ran inside of Kaede's hut with Kirara, Myoga, and Totosai. Ayame looks up to Kagome's face and saw that she was still a bit shaken. “We'll handle him together”, Kagome said surprising Ayame and shooing Inuyasha away as he calm down a bit.

 

As Kouga approached, he saw only Kagome as Ayame was hiding nearby, masking her scent. “Kagome, please forgive me?”, he begged on bended knee. Kagome however turned away from and begin singing a well known song in the feudal era (let's make believe the words to Evanescence's songs go that far back).

 

 

Long lost words whisper slowly to me
still can't find what keeps me here

(Ayame comes out from hiding and faces Kouga while holding Kagome's hand)
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there

Watching me,

Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
fearing you,

Loving you
(They walk towards Kouga and surround him)

I won't let you pull me down

hunting you, I can smell you - alive
your heart pounding in my head

wanting me,

killingme
I can feel you pull me down
saving me,

Raping me,

Watching me

watching me,

Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
fearing you...

Loving you
I won't let you pull me down

 

After the song, Kagome gives a scornful look upon Kouga and leaves Ayame to speak to him while she goes and consort Inuyasha. “Kouga, why do you put me through this?”, Ayame said trying to control her anger at the whimpering wolf youkai. “I can't tell you how many times I wished for a bigger wolf clan and you made that dream come true. But I still wanted more, I wanted a family, a real one. So I went back to my pursuit on Kagome since she was always such a kindred soul. But that half- demon Inuyasha, he made me want Kagome even more with him trying to hurt her. I had to do something to claim her as mine before he hurts her”, Kouga explained. “This entire incident is on the claim that Inuyasha is not providing his mate with the proper care?”, Ayame asked being a bit cynical. Kagome pulled Inuyasha out from behind Kaede's hut and approached Kouga with Inuyasha latched onto her with his arms wrapped around her waist and his chin on her shoulder.

“Kouga…you're the sweetest person I know if you only concern for me was due to that…but Inuyasha and I has been together for years, if he never hurt me before then what makes you think he'll hurt me now…Inuyasha cares for me a lot Kouga. He won't let anything hurt me and that I can trust my life with him”, she said smoothing over Inuyasha's hands on her stomach. “But he told me himself of his betrayal not too long ago…I swore it was…”, Kouga tried to remember that night when fighting with the demon and found something vaguely familiar yet odd about the scent of the demon. Kagome walked up to Kouga with much resistance on Inuyasha's part and places a kiss on his cheek. “You're only forgiven Kouga if you promise me to take care of Ayame and your family”, she said quickly letting go of his hands when feeling Inuyasha release a very low growl, only loud enough for her to hear. Kouga turns to Ayame and holds her hands saying, “You want to start all over?” Ayame smiled before placing a kiss on his other cheek and nodding her head. She turns to Kagome to say, “Thanks, Kagome. You and your mate are a good pair. I wouldn't be surprised if you two weren't also married in the human tradition.” “Oh we're not but-“, Kagome began before Inuyasha cut her off saying, “Not yet.” Ayame waved goodbye at the couple as Kouga picked her up and carry her away back to his lands.

Later on that day, after that incident, Inuyasha and Kagome sat up in the Goshinboku tree in Inuyasha's forest. “Inuyasha…earlier today, when Ayame said that thing about marriage what did you mean?”, Kagome asked looking up into the eyes of the hanyou who cradled her. “What does it mean to be married and to have an American wedding, Kagome?”, Inuyasha asked trying to say the word American. Kagome blushes at the thought and shot back a “Where did you here that from?” Inuyasha flashes back momentarily to the day where he traveled with Kagome during an exploration trip where she visited merchants that she called shopping with a few of her girlfriends. He recalled the conversation being brought up whenever her friends started asking more questions about him. “Your friends… they said… they said it… usually whenever you talk about me”, he stuttered before blushing as well. Kagome was skeptical of the idea of her friends and her being that intrigued by the hanyou but she remembers the first time she introduced Inuyasha to her friends. “When a man and a woman love each so much; they put themselves through the test of planning a celebration together and living together for as long as possible…hopefully to have a joyful life in the end. It's almost like mating without the ultimate declaration of undying love”, Kagome confessed. She looks up to see Inuyasha thinking again since his head was tilted towards her but he was staring blankly at the horizon. “You think about that stuff, Kagome?”, he finally muttered out. “Always… but I'm happy right here with you Inuyasha”, she said quickly before glancing away from his gaze to hide the hope in her eyes. “Marry me, Kagome?”, he asked after a long silence.

Kagome nearly jumped out of her seat but luckily Inuyasha quickly caught her and rested her next to him on the tree branch. “WHAT?!”, she shouted once she was situated nicely. Inuyasha takes Kagome's hands into his and said, “I want you to be mine in every way possible… official in all eyes…so would you Kagome Higurashi marry me?”, while gazing into her eyes. Kagome let her hands fall out of Inuyasha's grasp and averted his gaze before whispering, “I don't know.” Inuyasha became quickly hurt and shouted at her, “You don't know? You love me…don't you?” “Inuyasha, that's not the issue here”, she quickly snapped just as loudly to him. “Then what's stopping you from accepting my offer?”, he said lifting her chin to look into his eyes. “Inuyasha…I…I”, was all she uttered before he cut her off. “We're already mates so it's nothing new”, he said dropping her chin. Kagome shook her head before replying, “Yes, but marriage is such a big change… Inuyasha…I…I'm”, she began before the hanyou jumped off the branch whispering an angered, “Forget it”, before heading to Kaede's hut and leaving a fuming Kagome to try to climb down the tree herself.

At supper time, Kagome was covered with a few scratches as she ignored the brooding hanyou and the rest of the gang took notice at the new silence amongst the couple. “What occurred between ye two lovers?”, Kaede asked the young miko after dinner was finish. “Yeah, you two would be inseparable right around now”, Sango chided trying to make Kagome laugh. But Kagome ignore the remark and coldly said, “He's the one with the problem not me.” Miroku then nudges Inuyasha in a way to get him to say something. “And my problem is with her”, is all Inuyasha muttered before Kagome emitted a low growl. The group decided to drop the problem until Shippo was in bed and with plugged ears next to Kirara. “What is the problem, Kagome?”, Totosai asked tapping Kagome's shoulder in an attempt to stop her death glare on Inuyasha. “Nothing at all…everything is fine”, Kagome lied. Myoga hopped onto Kagome's shoulder before adding his two cents in. “If it was really nothing, why the killing glare?”, he asked. “Did you two decided to have space?”, Miroku asked ignoring Inuyasha's sulking mood.

There was silence before Inuyasha responded with a, “No…I asked her a question and she wouldn't respond so I can't wait for her forever.” Kagome marched right up to Inuyasha and stood in front of his face shouting, “YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME TIME TO RESPOND!” Inuyasha then stands up and shouts back into Kagome's face saying, “LIKE YOU WOULD'VE GIVEN A STRAIGHT ANSWER!” “OF COURSE I WOULD'VE!”, she shouted in defense. “I SHOULD'VE KNOWN…IF YOU PLAYED WITH ONE HEART YOU PLAYED WITH THEM ALL!” “YOU SHOULD TALK WITH THE WHOLE THING WITH KIKYO!”, she shot back. “BUT ATLEAST I OPEN MY EYES TO REALIZE THE TRUTH BEFORE GETTING HURT!” “THAT BETTER NOT BE A REMARK TOWARDS KOGA!”, Kagome shouted back huffing and puffing now. “AND WHAT IF IT IS!” “YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND MY REASONING YET!”, Kagome said in a loud attempt at a plea. “MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR REASON.” “BUT IF YOU LISTEN YOU GET A RESPONSE!”, she shouted back trying to calm down only to fail.

“WHAT DO I CARE?”, the angered hanyou kept going. “YOU CARE BECAUSE YOU SHOULD KNOW MY FEELINGS FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW I MEAN IT WHEN I EVEN UTTER THE WORDS OF LOVE!”, Kagome shouted back. “EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH MIGHT AS WELL BE LIES!”, he shot back before the entire room went silent. The Kagome said the words she hadn't said in a very long time, “Sit Boy.” As Inuyasha's body is pierced to the ground, he continued his shouting match. “WHAT WAS THAT FOR?” “FOR BEING YOU!”, Kagome said trying stifle her upcoming tears. Finally before Inuyasha can reply again, Kaede spoke up saying, “STOP!”, and waiting for Inuyasha to release himself and the two to take a seat. “Now discuss the problem like civilized adults…before I make you two act like it”, Sango threatened.

“I just want to know if I was to ask that question right now, would the answer be what I desire”, Inuyasha said huffing and puffing. “OF COURSE IT WOULD BE!”, Kagome replied getting angry at his arrogance again. “Kagome, would you marry me?”, Inuyasha rushed out. “YES, INUYASHA I WOULD LOVE TO ALSO BE YOUR WIFE!”, she shouted back before the entire room became quiet. “Am I hearing things?”, Inuyasha asked more to himself but Kagome responded none the less. “Yes Inuyasha…I will marry you”, Kagome clarified. Next thing you know, Kagome was hoisted up into the air as Inuyasha spun around his new fiancée before planting a soul searing kiss on her lips. When the two finally parted for air, Inuyasha still held Kagome mid air and whispered to her while the group celebrated, “I never thought you'll actually agree to marry me…you made me the happiest man in the world. My Kagome is not only my mate but now my future wife!” “Don't you ever doubt my love for you Inuyasha… my heart begins to you”, Kagome whispered back before leaning in for another kiss from her husband to be…
