Kagome's Return

Kagome's eyes were closed as she stood in front of the old well. She took a deep breath in and gasped when she felt as if the magic returned to where it once was. She felt her hair blow slightly from the wind that shouldn't even be there. When she opened her eyes and looked into the well, she saw the blue sky of the past. She has tears in her eyes, knowing that she will finally be able to see her friends once again. To see Inuyasha again...

Her mother peaks into the well house, concerned for her daughter. Kagome hasn't been herself since she returned from the past three years ago. Today was her highschool graduation and she passed with good grades, but her daughter didn't seem to really care.

"Kagome?" Her mother questioned as she walked tentatively forward. "What's wrong?"

"Mama..."

Her mother stood beside her and peered into the well to see what has captured Kagome's attention.

"The sky..."

Mrs. Higurashi put an arm around her daughter, knowing what was to come. She wouldn't see her daughter ever again... but she would be with the man she had fallen in love with. Kagome's eyes are shining with unshed tears.

"Mama, I..."

Mrs. Higurashi turned Kagome around to face her. Brown eyes locked with an older set of brown eyes, "Kagome..." She smiled warmly at the younger woman. "...It's fine."

Kagome smiled back as her tears threatened to fall, but she didn't let them. This is the beginning of the rest of her life.

"Doggie! Doggie!"

Inuyasha is sitting on a large rock, his arms stuffed into the sleeves of his crimson Suikan. Sango and Miroku's twin girls are on each of his shoulders, tugging on his ears. Shippo is on the boulder next to Inuyasha, watching the scene unfold. Miroku is behind them, hanging laundry to dry as his wife is crouched down in front of the water basin, with their infant boy strapped to her back.

"You're like their toy." Shippo commented from his place near the hanyou.

"Hey, do something about these twins." Inuyasha remarked, slightly irritably.

Miroku turned from his work and replied, "Don't tug on his ears."

Sango also turned from her chores. "Sorry, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's ear twitched away from the little girls hand as his face turned towards the sky, his nose twitching to scent the air. He stood up quickly, holding a twin in each hand by the back of their Kimonos.

"Go slay the kitsune." He commented right as he threw the girls at a startled Shippo.

Shippo was quickly tackled to the ground, yelling in shock as he fell to his stomach with two three year olds holding him down.

"Hey! What was that for!?" Shippo yelled at Inuyasha, but he was long gone.

"Shippo!" Gyokuto excitedly yelled.

"Slay!" Kin'u, the other twin responded happily.

~•~

Inuyasha ran as fast as he could through the small village, towards the bone eaters well.

'This scent...' His eyes widened as he moved even faster than before. 'There's no mistaking it!' He broke through the clearing and his heart was pounding as the long dormant well came into view.

Three years. It's been three long years since he has seen her. Smelled her. Touched her. Kissed her... He checked the well every three days for three years. Their kiss in the meido in the forefront of his mind. In his dreams. When he's hunting. When he's working. Kagome. Kagome. Kagome. Always Kagome. Now, unless his mind finally shattered and is playing a cruel cruel joke on him... He can finally be with her. Tell her what he should have told her years ago. Hold her. Love her.

His breath caught as he stopped in front of the well. Sweat dripping from his brow, eyes wide and heart racing. He is staring into the depths, waiting for her to show herself. What feels like forever, but was only a few seconds, she appears. He reached his right hand downwards and for the first time in three years, Kagome's hand grasps his.

Inuyasha pulls her out quickly, unblinking, afraid to miss even a second of this beautiful woman in front of him. Kagome's foot touches down on the lip of the well as her left hand rests on his shoulder and her right hand holds tightly onto his. They stare directly into each others eyes, both of them shining brightly.

Kagome's smiling, holding back tears as she looks into the golden eyes of the man she has loved for three and a half straight years.

"Inuyasha, sorry. Were you waiting for me?"

Inuyasha had planned what he would say if he ever got to see her again. He was going to tell her he loves her, ask her to marry him and become his mate, then whisk her away to their new home. All of that however, went out the window when the time finally came.

"Kagome..." He let her feet touch down on the soft grass beneath them and looked down into her shining brown eyes. He pulled her to his chest and she eagerly obliged. "You idiot. What have you been doing?" Not exactly what he had planned to say, but old habits die hard. He is at least happy he had the nerve to hug her, even though he had wanted to kiss her again.

Kagome rested her face into his chest and closed her eyes, sighing happily. It's been way too long to be away from this man. She can smell his woodsy scent and savors in the warmth of his embrace.

Immediately, the couples reunion was cut short at the sounds of their other friends approaching.

"Kagome!" Shippo yelled happily from Miroku's shoulder.

"Kagome..." Sango repeated in surprise amazement.

"It's been so long Kagome-sama." Miroku spoke up.

Kagome and Inuyasha separated to look at their approaching friends. Kagome smiled widely at the sight of her friends with children of their own. Two adorable girls in Miroku's arms and a baby boy on Sango's back.

"Master Miroku! Sango! Shippo!"

"Hey!" Shippo waved and smiled happily. His adopted mother is finally home.

Kagome felt whole for the first time in years, smiling wider than she can ever remember. 'I'm back.'

~•~

The group of misfits arrived at Kaede's about an hour ago. Inuyasha has been sitting as close to Kagome as physically possible to her right, Sango and Miroku across from them on the other side of the fire. Kagome has little Hisui, Sango and Miroku's son, in her arms as she is laughing and smiling with her friends as if nothing has changed. Shippo is sitting on Inuyasha's left shoulder. Sango and Miroku each have a twin in their lap. Kaede is sitting in the corner, her one good eye shining with unshed tears. Rin is sitting happily next to the old woman.

After their initial reunion, they all headed to Kaede's. Kagome had explained what she has been up to these past few years. She told them she finished her mandatory studies and there wasn't really anything holding her to the future any longer. She said she will always love her family, but the family she really needs is right here, in the Sengoku Jidai. She had locked eyes with Inuyasha when she said that, hoping to convey the true meaning of her words.

'I came back for you...'

Kagome looked down at the little baby in her arms and smiled brightly. She rocked him and cood at his adorable little face. Sango smiled as she saw the woman who is like a little sister to her, handle the child so well.

"You are going to be a great mother one day, Kagome."

Kagome's eyes snapped up to look at Sango. Her face turned red and she didn't even dare turning to see the look on Inuyasha's face. Kagome swallowed the sudden lump in her throat and spoke awkwardly.

"Uh.. y-yeah.. someday..."

Shippo jumped from Inuyasha's shoulder to Kagome's. "When are you and Inuyasha having a baby of your own?"

Kagome didn't think it was possible to get any more embarrassed, but she was wrong. She managed a small glance at the hanyou who seemed just as embarrassed as her. He growled at Shippo and clenched his fists inside of the sleeves of his Suikan.

"Runt..." He growled out his warning.

Shippo squeeled and hid behind Kagome's head. "What? I'm just a kid!"

Inuyasha growled but said nothing further. He knows Shippo isn't 'just a kid.' He is a demon and demons know about those things. The whole 'kid' card is used so the humans don't suspect a thing.

'Damn brat.'

Miroku grinned but decided to keep quiet and not tease their friends. That can wait until after they hash things out. He doesn't want to make them distant themselves from each other, but once they are together, he will definitely tease the hanyou about it.

Kaede chuckled to herself and thought a change in subject was in order. "Kagome child. Have ye decided if ye would like to be trained as the village Miko?"

Inuyasha looked to Kagome for her answer. When Kagome smiled widely, it was as he feared.

"Oh! That would be great, Kaede. I was wondering what I would do as a career here, and I think I would really love to help people."

Inuyasha's ears flattened to his head at that. It's fify three years all over again. He couldn't be with Kikyo as a hanyou and she couldn't be with him unless she was an ordinary woman. A shrine maiden can't marry. They must remain pure. He thought she had come back to be with him but...

He shook his head of those thoughts and decided not to dwell on it at the moment. Maybe he could court her and remind her of what they had. He wasn't the most thoughtful but he can try for her. He has had three years to think on how badly he had treated her. He won't let her go so easily.

Kaede only nodded and went back to entertaining Rin.

The rest of the evening went by as well as she could have hoped. She got reacquainted with her friends and their kids. She shared some looks with Inuyasha that she thought might mean something more than friendship. She witnessed the twins love for the hanyou's ears and giggled at the sight. She thought about what Shippo had asked and blushed when she couldn't help but think of Inuyasha as a father. The father of her children.

As Miroku and Sango were getting their tired kids ready to leave, Rin spoke to Kagome. "Will you be staying with Rin and Kaede, Kagome-sama?"

Kagome glanced to Inuyasha who seemed to be trying not to look at her. She looked back at Rin and smiled. "I don't know Rin. Right now, I kind of want to speak with Inuyasha." She turned back to the hanyou. "Can we.. go on a walk?"

Rin pouted but agreed. She would have plenty of time to hang out with Kagome in the future.

Inuyasha nodded his head but he seemed lost in thought. He walked out of the hut without another word. Kagome frowned in confusion but didn't think much of it. She handed the baby over to Miroku, who helped strap him back to Sango's back. Than she looked down to Shippo.

"I'll see you soon, okay?"

"Can't I come with you, Kagome? I really missed you."

Kagome crouched down and hugged the kitsune. "I'm sorry, Shippo. I missed you too, but I really need some time alone with Inuyasha."

Shippo looked back at Kagome and smiled. "Oh! Okay." He hopped up to Miroku's shoulder and whispered into his ear. "That baka better not mess this up!"

Miroku chuckled and faced Kagome. "Kagome-sama, Inuyasha has missed you more than you could know."

Kagome blushed and smiled. As she was about to walk away, Sango stepped forward and hugged her. "I'm so glad you are back, Kagome. Now go tell that stubbern baka how you feel."

Kagome pulled away with tears in her eyes. "Thank you." She turned to the rest of her family. "All of you." Than took a deep breath in and walked outside.

She saw Inuyasha leaning up against a hut across from them and smiled at him. He nodded his head and walked up to her. She tentatively grabbed his hand and started to walk towards the Goshinboku. They walked in silence, both thinking about the past, present and what is to become of the future.

Kagome is more nervous than she has felt since the time in her room when Inuyasha was about to kiss her. She couldn't help but feel that maybe her friends were wrong. Maybe Inuyasha only saw her as a friend and doesn't want to be anything more.

'But he kissed you, you baka!'

She sighed. That kiss has been on replay over and over in her mind for three long years. She couldn't help but think that he kissed her because he loves her... but what if it was just in the heat of the moment? What if it didn't mean as much to him as it did to her? He never said he loved her...

Inuyasha's mind is reeling from the days events. He woke up this morning expecting the same old same old. He would make sure no demons were around the area and than chill out in Goshinboku before forcing himself to spend time with his only friends.

Than Kagome came back into his life. Kami, how he missed her. But, does she want to be a Miko? Or does she want to be with him? It's one thing to have her friendship, but it's a whole different thing to be romatically and physically involved.

'What am I thinking, baka!? Of course she would rather be a shrine maiden... What can a half-breed like me give her?'

They made it to the old tree without even a word to the other. Kagome squeezed his hand and looked up into the branches of the Goshinboku. She turned back to see Inuyasha lost in thought and she frowned.

"Inuyasha?"

His eyes snapped to hers and she sighed. He seemed on edge. Guarded like he was when they had first met.

'I was a fool to think we could pick up where we left off...'

"What is it, Kagome? You should get to sleep. It's been a long day."

Kagome sighed and backed up against the tree, holdong his hand between them. She looked down at their entwined fingers and than back into his eyes.

"Inuyasha I..." She averted her gaze and didn't notice the forlorn look he sent her.

Inuyasha growled and pulled his hand away. His old insecurities are causing him to act how he would have years ago.

"Just spit it out already wench!"

Kagome looked into his eyes with tears in hers. There has to be something she is missing. He seemed perfectly happy with her for a while and than started to distance himself from her. She reached her hand towards his face but he backed up. She dropped her hand to her side and looked down at her feet.

"I... I missed you, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's ears flattened to the top of his head and he looked up at the sky above. The full moon is shining brightly, the light breeze blowing their hair around their faces. He clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes.

"Don't..."

Kagome's tears are threatening to break free but she won't let them. This was her worst fear. Coming back to him only to be told she was wrong. He doesn't love her and never did. He doesn't want to be with her. The kiss in the meido meant nothing. The last three years apart from him weren't as hard for him as it was for her. She blinked her tears away and stepped towards him.

She isn't going to let him do this. Not now. She isn't a little girl anymore. No doubt that at fifteen, she would have sat him and run away. Not now. Not like this. She is an adult and she is going to get him to talk to her if it's the last thing she ever does.

Kagome forcibly grabs his hand and holds it tight. He looks into her eyes and his resolve to back away almost crumbled at the look of hurt she is giving him. He wants nothing more than to kiss her and marry her and mate her and have a family with her. But he won't be able to have that if she chooses a different path.

"Inuyasha. Did you miss me too?" She interlaced their fingers together and stepped closer. She used her other hand to cup his cheek lightly and smiled sadly into his eyes.

"Kagome..." He started to lean closer to her, lost in the moment.

Kagome's heart started to pound, butterflies started to erupt in the pit of her stomach. 'Please, Inuyasha... Don't pull away from me anymore. I love you...'

At the last second, Inuyasha turned his face and backed up a step. He shook his head to free his mind of his thoughts and looked back to her defeated gaze.

"Don't.. I.. I can't Kagome..."

Kagome pulled her hand away from his as if she was burned, unable to hold her tears in any longer. She looked down at the ground, tears flowing freely down her face.

"Why?" Was all she was able to say.

Inuyasha hates the scent of her tears, of her sorrow and confusion. Why doesn't she get it? She can't be with him if she chooses to be a Miko!

"Just drop it." He growled out defensively.

Kagome's face burned red with her anger now. How could he be so insensitive? Doesn't he know how much she loves him? If he doesn't feel the same way, can't he just tell her instead of tip toeing around it?

She glared at him and clenched her fists at her sides. "No. You don't get to do that anymore! Three years Inuyasha. I have been gone for three years. And do you know why I came back when the well gave me the choice?"

He stayed silent, his ears plastered to his skull, averting his gaze from hers.

"For you, baka!"

Inuyasha's eyes snapped to hers, wide and full of wonder. "Wha..?"

Kagome stepped up to him once again, took a deep breath in and looked into his bright gold eyes.

"I came back to be with you. I love you, Inuyasha. So stop pushing me away. If you don't feel the same than tell me, damn it! It's not fair to -"

She was stopped mid sentence by his lips on hers. Inuyasha had grabbed her by the back of the neck and kissed her. Kagome immediately put her hands to the front of his Suikan and grabbed it to keep him right where he is.

Kagome moaned softly into the kiss as he moved his lips more confidently against hers. She felt him about to back away so she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and pulled him closer. Inuyasha growled lightly and backed her up against the Goshinboku. He pressed his body firmly against hers, having her feel the full extent of his need for her.

Kagome moaned and Inuyasha could smell her arousal spike for him. For the love of all that is holy, he can't remember why he was pushing her away to begin with. But then he needed to pull back for some air. He rested his forehead against hers and everything came crashing back to him.

"Kagome..."

She knew the sound of regret as soon as he said her name. Her heart plummeted and she wrapped her arms around him even tighter.

"Please, Inuyasha. Don't mess with my feelings. Why are you pushing me away?"

Inuyasha layed his face into the crook of her neck and nuzzled her close, taking a deep breath in of her intoxicating scent.

"It's just... What about what you said to Kaede?"

Kagome pulled his head back lightly by the hair and searched his eyes. "What do you mean?"

He sighed but figured there isn't anything to hide now. They have already said and done too much to take back.

"You want to be a Miko. A Miko and a hanyou can't -"

Kagome's face erupted in anger as she cut him off with a more intense kiss than he had given her. She moved her hands up to his ears and scratched them at the base, elicitating a soft growl from her hanyou. She moaned into the kiss as she snaked her tongue out to taste his bottom lip. Inuyasha gasped, giving her the chance to taste him even further. She licked along both of his fangs, causing him to groan and her to moan. She tasted his tongue and was pleased when he swirled it along with hers. She could feel his obvious erection through their layers of clothing and wanted so much more, but knew they had to finish this conversation first. Her stubborn hanyou doesn't seem to understand.

She pulled away from him and cupped both of his cheeks to keep his attention on her. "Listen here you stubborn baka. I am not going to be deprived the joy of being with the man I love because of some stupid rule that Miko's must remain pure. I believe that it is purity of the heart, not purity of the body. And so what if my powers diminish or I lose them completely? I would always choose you. And if I keep my powers, which I am almost certain I will, than I will still heal people. There isn't a choice to be made and the people who can't handle me being a 'youkai whore' can go fuck themselves because I love you! Do you understand, you silly hanyou?"

Inuyasha had never expected his sweet Kagome to speak that way at all. But wholy gods did it do something for him. All he could do in response was nod dumbly as he kissed her once more. Kagome wrapped her arms back around his neck and immediately opened her mouth for his tongue. She sighed into the kiss as his claws raked down her back and towards her hips. He held onto her hips in a firm grip as he ground himself into her body, causing her to moan and her scent to spike deliciously.

Inuyasha pulled back from her lips, panting and horny as hell. "Marry me."

Kagome gasped and he flinched. That is so not how he meant to propose! Before he could say or do something stupid like take it back, Kagome spoke.

"Yes."

Kagome's stomach erupted in butterflies as she saw her hanyou smile wider than she could ever remember seeing. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the tree. He crouched in front of her and turned back.

"Come on, I wanna show ya somethin'."

Kagome smiled and climbed on without a second thought. She gasped softly when she felt his clawed hands grasp her legs. It's been so long since she got to ride on his back. She held onto his shoulders with her hands and snuggled her face into the back of his neck.

She watched the world around her go by as her hanyou breezed through the trees. His hands idly stroking under her legs, making her shiver, but not from being cold. She hugged him tighter as they started to slow down. She was a little disappointed that they only ran for about five minutes, but she is curious to see what it is he has to show her.

Inuyasha stopped before a wall of trees. He let go of her legs and allowed her to slide off of his back. She stood next to him and looked up at him questioningly.

"Inuyasha?"

He smiled warmly at her, showing a fang. "Go through." He pointed at a pair of trees that seemed to be like an archway. She reached her right hand to the vines between the trees that worked like a type of doorway and moved them aside. She walked through, Inuyasha right behind her. He heard her gasp and smiled smugly to himself.

Kagome put her hands to her mouth and stared ahead of her in wonder. "Inuyasha..."

He stood behind her and put his hands to her shoulders, whispering into her ear. "I had a lot of time these last three years. Do ya like it?"

She nodded her head and looked around in amazement at the beautiful area in front of her.

If she were to guess, the area in front of her surrounded by trees, is probably about one and a half acres of land. In the center of this spot of land is a fairly large hut. More like a house from her era, but built with the tools and wood from this era. There is enough room around the perimeter of the house to plant a garden and anything else Kagome might want. Flowers, herbs, vegitables, etc.

She looked to her left and saw a hot spring surrounded by beautiful flowers. Behind the hot spring is a small river, leading through the trees in the backyard, so they have fresh water at all times.

There are a couple of different storage sheds throughout the area where they can keep wood and other supplies, along with non perishable food.

Kagome was speechless. She couldn't move so when she heard Inuyasha chuckle, she shook her head out of her daze and looked to where he was now standing in front of her. He held his hand out and waited.

"Well? Come on wench."

Kagome smiled and grabbed his hand. He led her to the front door of their home.

'Home..' Tears came to her eyes, but they were full of happiness for their new beginning.

When they walked inside, Kagome had to stifle yet another gasp. It seemed as though Inuyasha tried to make the home as modern as possible. When you first walk through the door, you can see the main area - living room - with a man made couch and a couple chairs, sitting in front of a fairly large indoor fireplace. The couch and chairs are made of wood but they had furs covering them for comfort and what looked to be expensive cusions on each seat. The fireplace is surrounded by rocks to keep from spreading to any of the wood around it.

Kagome walked through the living room and towards what she would call the 'dining room'. There is a wooden table with six wooden chairs around it. Two on each of the long sides and one on each of the short sides. Each chair has a thin layer of fur to give it that extra comfort.

She turned to her right and through an open archway into the 'kitchen.' Inuyasha had built everything she would need to be as comfortable as possible with whatever she may need. There are countertops with cabinets below them to keep their pots and pans and other dishes. Above the countertops are some extra storage areas for any dry food they may have. There is enough room to work side by side when cooking or cleaning.

She turned back to exit the room and smiled at the blushing hanyou as she went to the other side of the house. She saw two rooms side by side on her right and opened each one to look inside. They were a little bigger than her childhood bedroom and each were set up the same. One of them was obviously lived in. They both had a twin size bed in the center of the room with a storage area on the far ends of the area. She looked at Inuyasha questioningly when she noticed that one of the rooms was lived in but it didn't look like it was him who lived there.

He blushed and scratched the back of his neck. "The runt lives here with me." She smiled widely at him and nodded her head without another word and went across from those rooms to check the other two out.

There was a small room which she looked at first. Her smile widened when she saw that Inuyasha had created a bathroom for her. Obviously there isn't modern plumming but he did the best he could with what he had. She noticed there was another door inside the bathroom so she opened it and walked inside. She looked back at Inuyasha who's blush deepened even further.

The master bedroom, obviously where Inuyasha sleeps, (or rests, if he sleeps at all), is connected to both the bathroom and the hall of the main house. She saw a large bed, probably a king size, in the center of the room, the head of it against the far wall. There are side tables on each end of the bed. He even built a type of bedframe and headboard like one would see in the modern era. There is a large trunk at the foot of the bed and Kagome gasped when she saw what was leaning against it.

"My bow!"

She walked up to it and tentatively reached toward it. She smiled when it easily accepted her and she held it close to her chest. She looked into Inuyasha's eyes and her smile widened.

Inuyasha opened the trunk and pulled something else out of it to hand to her. Her eyes shone with unshed tears as she grasped her long lost yellow bag from him.

"You kept this all this time?"

He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Of course. I knew you would come back."

Kagome dropped her bag and rested the bow back against the trunk to wrap her arms around his neck and hug him tight.

"Thank you. Thank you for everything, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha held her close around her waist and nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck. He heard her gasp once again, making him smile, knowing just what had caught her attention. She pulled back from him and looked out of the far wall connecting the house to the outside. There is a Fusuma Shoji, except instead of the normal Shoji of thos time, it is made with glass, like a modern day sliding glass door. There are curtains hung that can be open or closed as they please. Currently they are open so she can easily see the hot spring from where she stands.

She reached forward and hesitantly touched the door. "How..?"

Inuyasha hugged her from behind and sighed. "Sessomaru has ways of getting things that are very rare."

She turned her face to look into his eyes. "You asked Sesshomaru to help you with the house?"

"I would do anything for you, Kagome."

Kagome reached up and cupped his cheek. "Inuyasha..."

"Kagome.. I.. I checked the well every three days. There wasn't a second where I thought you weren't gonna come back to me. Whether or not you wanted to be with me, I didn't know but.. I got some things made for you." He grabbed her hand and led her back to the trunk at the foot of the bed. He took a deep breath in as he pulled out two different Miko robes and three different kimonos.

Kagome looked shocked so he explained. "I knew there was a chance you would wanna be a Miko. I didn't like that ya may choose that over me, but I got these for you anyway." He handed them to her and her eyes opened wide as she felt the material. "It's made of demon silk. This will protect you from almost anything, kind of like my fire rat." He layed the three different kimonos on the edge of the bed and watched as she inspected them.

"They're beautiful, Inuyasha."

"Keh.. Not nearly as beautiful as you." His eyes widened as he realized what he had just said and he watched as she quickly turned around to look at him, eyes wide and shining brightly.

"Inuyasha..."

She quickly hugged him tighter than she did before, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her with his face.

"Please don't cry, Kagome."

"I just.. I missed you so much. I tried the well over and over and it never worked." She pulled back to look into his eyes. "I missed everyone here, but you.. You are the reason I kept on going. I fell into a pretty bad depression, Inuyasha. I woke from nightmares almost every night. I was scared that you had died and I would never know. I couldn't go on. I only finished school because that's what my family wanted. But I wanted nothing more than to be by your side, forever. I love you so so much." She pulled him back down to connect her lips with his and sighed against his mouth when he easily reciprocated her kiss.

After a moment, Inuyasha pulled back and moved a strand of hair from her face to behind her ear. "I wish I wasn't such a stubborn baka back than. I shoulda told ya how I felt, Kagome.. I.. I love you more than anything. I wanna marry you and take you as my mate and have pups with you. I wanna be with you forever and I will be the luckiest bastard alive if that is what you want too."

Kagone cupped his cheeks and smiled up at him. "I want everything with you Inuyasha."

"So, you'll be my mate too? Not just my wife?"

Kagome looked up at him with confusion. "What's the difference?"

He blushed lightly before explaining. "Marriage is normally just a human custom. Demons mate for life. If we mate, we would mark each other and than you would share my lifespan and be with me for as long as I live."

"Baka." She kissed him lightly and smiled brightly at him. "Yes. I'll marry you, mate you, have pups with you. I want to spend forever with you, my hanyou."

Inuyasha smiled down at her and hugged her tight. "Do ya wanna ceremony? The monk and Sango just went to the headman and declared themselves married, but I know how in the future most people have some sorta ceremony for it."

Kagome hugged him around his waist and cuddled her face into his chest. "I don't care, as long as I'm with you. We can go to the head man in the morning and than I'll get to call you my husband right away."

Inuyasha squeezed her and sighed happily. "Than we can complete the mating process."

Kagome pulled back and looked up at him with a twinkle in her eye. "I was thinking we could do that now."

Inuyasha blushed and stuttered, "b-but, I don't wanna dishonor you by taking your purity before we are husband and wife."

Kagome reached up with her left hand and lightly rubbed his ear. "Baka. How many times do I gotta tell you? Purity is in my heart and soul, not my body. Plus, this is marriage for demons, It's not like we aren't promising ourselves to each other." She leaned in closer to his lips and whispered, "and I have been wanting you for three and a half years. I don't think I can wait another day."

Inuyasha growled as he grasped her hips in both if his clawed hands. "How long have ya been such a hentai, Ka-go-me?"

Surprisingly, she wasn't embarrassed. She looked down at his lips and licked her suddenly dry ones before looking back into his amused eyes.

"Since I met you. You made it so hard for me not to want you. Do you know how many times you had to take your top off? How many times I saw you naked? You ran into my room naked for crying out loud."

Inuyasha chuckled and kissed her softly before pulling away. "You threw your entire room at me."

This time she did blush. "I was fifteen and the only guy I had ever had feelings for, both romantically and physically, had just ran into my room naked. I was in shock and embarrassed."

"So ya won't throw anything at me or sit me this time?"

She knew he was joking but something about that upset her. She moved her hands to his Kotodama and started to lift it off his head, but was stopped by his hands grasping her wrists.

"Don't take it off." When she looked at him curiously, he explained. "It was the only thing I had that helped me feel connected to you. I wanna keep it."

Kagome nodded her head in understanding as she lowered her hands to his Obi. "C-can I take this off?" She asked kind of shyly.

Inuyasha smirked at her adorable blush and nodded his head. "Kami yes."

Kagome first grabbed his Tetsusaiga and leaned it up against the bed behind them. She then slowly unwrapped his Obi, pulling it off and dropping it to the floor. She took a deep breath in and raised her shaky hands to the front of his Suikan. She opened the front up and pushed it off of his shoulders. Than she did the same thing with his Hadagi.

Now that Inuyasha is bare chested in front of her, she took her time in refamiliarizing herself with him. She never got to touch him like this, only to bandage him up. She heard Inuyasha's breath catch as she moved her finger tips from his arms to his neck and down his chest. She lightly stroked his nipples and lowered her hands further. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her clothed breasts against his bare chest. She leaned up and he met her half way to connect their lips once again. Kagome moaned as she moved her hands up and down his back, loving the feel of his muscles beneath her fingertips.

Inuyasha moved his hands to the button of Kagome's pink sweater. He fumbled with it for a second, not wanting to rip one of the only things she has from her era. He sighed against her lips when he got it undone without tearing it. He moved it off of her shoulders and Kagome pulled her arms back to allow it to fall to the floor along with his clothes. She pulled her lips away, crossed her arms to grasp the edge of her black shirt and lifted it off of her head, throwing it half hazardly aside. Inuyasha's breath caught as he saw the black lacy bra she had on underneath. Kagome smiled and grabbed his hand to place it on her covered breast.

"You can touch, you know." She blushed as she said it, but she doesn't want him to feel as though he isn't allowed to touch her like she touched him.

Inuyasha gulped as he looked back into her eyes and hesitantly felt along the top half of her body. He rested his left hand on her right hip as his right hand squeezed her left breast softly. He heard Kagome gasp and looked to her face to make sure he didn't do anything wrong. He scented her increased arousal and decided to keep going. He rubbed the hardening peak through the fabric with the pad of his thumb and growled lightly when she arched her back closer to him.

"How.. How do I take this off?"

Kagome smiled and turned around. She moved her hair to the right side of her neck to fully bare her back for him.

"You unclasp the back here. See?"

Inuyasha mumbled out a, "keh." before fumbling with the clasp.

Kagome gave him as much time as he needed and when he finally got it undone without ripping it, he was feeling pretty proud of himself. He slowly moved the straps off of her shoulders and let it fall to the floor below them. He leaned forward and kissed her left shoulder softly, hearing the small gasp from the woman in front of him. He moved his hands to her waist and than slowly reached around her to rub circles around her stomach. He continued to kiss and lick her neck and shoulder as he raised his claws along her ribs and grasped both of her bare breasts in his hands for the first time. He idly played with her hardened nipples and nibbled lightly on her throat, making her let out a soft moan.

Kagome leaned her back against Inuyasha's chest and bared her throat further for him. She moaned as his apprehensive touches became more and more confident. He rolled her breasts around and pinched her nipples, all the while sucking and nibbling on her throat.

Kagome quickly turned around to face him and grabbed the ties of his Hakama. She looked into his eyes when he grabbed her wrists. She could see his sudden nervousness and pulled away.

"It's okay, Inuyasha."

"Kagome.. I'm not.. I.."

She smiled up at him and put her arms around his neck. "It's my first time too, Inuyasha."

"I know, but that's not it..."

"What do you mean, you know?"

"Uh... I can smell it..."

Her eyebrows lifted and she blushed. "It is your first time, right?" Old insecurities came back. Of course she wouldn't deny him if he had been with someone else.. even if it was Kikyo.. He is over one hundred and fifty years old..

"Baka. Of course it's my first time."

She let go of the breath she didn't even know she was holding and nodded her head. "If it's not that, than what..?

Inuyasha blushed and looked away. "I'm not human, Kagome."

Now she is completely stupified. "Well, duh. What the hell are you talking about?"

He growled lightly, hating to have to explain this, but he was too dumb and forgetful before this moment to bring it up. "I'm a dog hanyou. I.. am not completely human below the waist.."

Kagome sighed in relief. So it wasn't anything bad, just his insecurities. "Inuyasha. For the last time. I love you. No matter what, I love you and want to be with you." She lowered her hands back to the ties of his Hakama and searched his eyes. "Can I?"

He nodded his head but still felt worried of her reaction. He has seen a mans penis before. He does turn human once a month. Sure, he looks almost normal. But is almost normal good enough? What about what he has to say after she sees it?

Kagome slowly undoes his Hakama and let go, allowing it to fall to his ankles. She kissed him lightly before getting on her knees in front of him and working on the ties at his ankles. Inuyasha's heart is racing, not knowing what to do or what to say. He stepped out of his clothes when she finished untying them and kicked it to the side. He looked down to see her start to unwrap his Fundoshi and his hand grasped hers one last time.

"Are ya sure?"

Kagome looked up into his worried gaze and smiled reassuringly. "Forever."

He moved his hand from hers and waited for the inevitable. For her to reject him. Call him a disgusting half-breed and run away from him forever. He took a deep breath in and closed his eyes when he felt his Fundoshi fall to the floor, leaving him completely nude to Kagome's gaze.

After a few seconds without a verbal reaction, he looked down to see her just staring at it. He began to get more and more nervous but than she reached forward and lightly trailed her fingers along the shaft. He groaned and almost fell to his knees right than and there.

Kagome looked up and locked eyes with his. "What were you so worried about?"

"Huh?" His mind is realing. What the hell does she mean? "I've seen what they look like Kagome and -"

"And you're perfect, Inuyasha." She stroked him a little more firmly that time, making him immediately rock hard. "If you are talking about your knot.. I know about dogs and what it is for." 'And some of my friends are into some explicit fanfiction.' But she didn't think he'd understand if she mentioned that. "You don't need to worry, Inuyasha. Nothing about you disgusts me. Ever. Understand?"

Inuyasha stared down at her in complete wonder. This beautiful woman, wants him as a hanyou. Loves him as a hanyou. She is touching him as a hanyou. He groaned when her hand grasped him tightly and started a slow and steady rhythm. He gasped and his eyes widened when she snaked her tongue out and licked the precum off the tip. He quickly grabbed a fistfull of her hair and pulled her back to her feet to slam his lips to her mouth. He pulled back and rested his forehead against hers.

"N-not now. I won't last even a second if ya do that, woman."

Kagome giggled and hugged him tight as she kissed him softly once again. She pulled back and sat down on the trunk at the foot of the bed to take off her shoes and socks. When she was done with that, she stood back up and faced Inuyasha. She grabbed his hands and put them to the hem of her blue skirt.

"Take it off me?"

He nodded dumbly as he kissed her lightly and curled his fingers at the top of her skirt. He moved his lips to her neck and kissed her there before lowering himself to her breasts. Her breath hitched when his mouth decended to her nipple and she held herself steady by grabbing onto his shoulders. Inuyasha smirked to himself as he licked around the hardened bud and lowered himself even further. He sat down on his knees in front of her, the same way she had done to him, and slowly lowered her skirt down her long soft legs. She watched him as he took his time, her heart rate speeding up in the process. He lifted first her right leg, to allow the skirt to come fully off, kissing up and down the inside of her thigh. After he put her foot back down, he did the same with her left leg. When her skirt was discarded, he slowly lowered her black panties, his claws lightly scraping her in the process. Kagome moaned as he kissed and licked along her thighs, her legs trembling and her arousal spiking.

When Kagome was fully bare before him, he gave a small kiss to the small bundle of black curls between her legs, causing her to gasp, before standing back up in front of her. He quickly moved the kimonos and Miko robes that were layed out on the bed before and placed them back into the trunk. Than he grabbed Kagome's hand and led her to the side of the bed. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her, sighing against her lips as he layed them down together, without separating from her mouth.

Half on top of her now, her leg curling around his, he licked her lips and wasted no time in tasting more of her. Kagome moaned as he curled his tongue around hers and she reached up to idly stroke his left ear. She felt his erection throb against her stomach and she unconsciously rocked her body into his. Inuyasha groaned as he fully rolled his body on top of hers, pinning her to the bed.

He pulled his lips from hers to kiss along her jaw to her throat and down to her breasts. He is loving the sounds his soon-to-be mate and wife is making. He wraps his lips around her nipple as his left hand squeezes her other breast. Kagome gasped when he bit her softly and she arched her back into him.

"Inu.."

He looked up into her eyes and smirked. "I know it hurts the first time. I wanna make ya feel good first, okay?"

All she could do was nod her head in agreement as she fisted the sheets underneath of her. She watched as Inuyasha lowered himself more and more, licking from her breasts, to her stomach and around her navel, and finally stopping at her extremely wet core. Kagome spread her legs farther for him as he took that first taste of her.

"Ah!"

Her head fell back against the pillow as her hips thrust upwards. Inuyasha smirked to himself and gave her another slow lick. He growled lightly as he probed her opening with the tip of his clawed finger.

"You taste so fucking good, Kagome."

All she could respond with was a small whine.

Inuyasha pushed his finger carefully inside of her as he licked her slowly. Kagome arched her back and moaned the deeper he went. She gasped and bucked extra hard when his tongue swiped across a small nub above her opening. He decided to keep licking her there as his finger pumps in and out of her slit.

"Inuyasha!"

Kagome looked down at him and whined at the sight of him feasting on her soft flesh. He is licking more adamantly against her clit as he pumps two fingers now in and out of her slit.

Of all the years she had masterbated while thinking about Inuyasha, she had never felt anything like this before.

And then he started to growl.

"Ah!"

She felt the start of the tingles at the pit of her stomach. Her orgasm was already fast approaching and she didn't dare stop it. She reached her hands down to grab his head, careful not to grab his sensitive ears, and held him in place as she began to rise higher and higher.

His continuous growl escalated when he noticed the change in her scent and sounds. She grabbed his head and held him right where she wanted him as she continued to ride his face. He sped up the movements of his fingers and tongue and nearly came right than and there when she screamed her release.

"Inuyashaaaaa!"

Kagome had never orgasmed like this before. It seemed unending and he just kept on going with his tongue and fingers. Finally, when it became to be too much, she pushed on his forehead to get him to back away. He obliged immediately.

Inuyasha pulled back and crawled up her naked body. He is watching as her chest is rising and falling fast, she is panting like a bitch in heat, her eyes are closed and she looks absolutely wrecked. He positioned himself at her entrance but didn't go any further, not wanting to do anything she wasn't ready for yet. He moved her hair out of her face and smiled down at her when she opened her eyes to look into his. To his surprise, Kagome pulled him down by his Kotodama and moaned against his lips. She could taste herself and the proof of her pleasure as she licked him fully.

Inuyasha didn't think it was possible to get any hornier, but he was quickly proved wrong. Kagome not only kissed him after what he just did, but she is purposely tasting herself on him and enjoying it. He groaned against her as she wrapped her legs around his waist and his cock slid along her soaked pussy.

He thrust uncontrollably, sliding just the tip of him inside of her and causing both of them to groan at the feeling. Kagome wrapped her arms around his back and scratched him lightly, thrusting up to get him to enter further. He twirled his tongue around hers as he did what she silently asked of him. In one quick thrust, he broke through her barrier and sheathed himself fully inside of her. Kagome winced slightly and held her breath at the small sting it caused.

Inuyasha pulled from her lips and cupped her cheek. He kissed her forehead before looking down at her. "Open your eyes, koibito."

Kagome did as she was told and saw the look of concern on his face. She hugged him tighter and smiled softly at him.

"It's okay, Inuyasha. Just go slow."

"I got you, Kagome."

She nodded her head and let out a slow breath as he pulled out and slowly pushed back in. Their eyes never leave each other as he slowly but surely takes her pain away and turns it into pleasure. He kept his slow pace as he watched her facial expressions change from one of slight pain to one of pure bliss.

He kissed her softly before locking their eyes once again. "I got ya. Just feel, Kagome. Feel me." He groaned as she lifted her hips with him and ended up going slightly deeper. For a second, he was worried it hurt her but than she moaned and her scent spiked once again.

Kagome held on to the back of his neck with both hands and smiled at him with tears in her eyes. "Inuyasha..."

He sped up just a little more, his body begging for him to go faster but not wanting to hurt her. "K-Kagome..."

"I love you."

"I love ya too, koi."

She kissed him once again before speaking. "You can go faster, Inuyasha. I won't break."

Inuyasha's face twisted up in pain at trying not to speed up. "Don't.. wanna hurt.. you."

Kagome thrust her hips against him harder than before and moaned at how amazing it felt. "You won't hurt me. That part is over. Now please, go faster."

Inuyasha growled as he slammed his lips onto hers and did as she begged him to. He sped up faster and faster, elicitating amazing sounds from his mate. Kagome almost matching him thrust for thrust as she held him as close as she possibly could.

Inuyasha pulled back from her lips when he felt himself become closer and closer to his end.

"Kagome.. Need to bite.."

She nodded her head in understanding and bared her throat for him. Inuyasha growled as he felt himself swell up and the knot begin to lock themselves together. As soon as he started to empty his seed inside of her, he bit down on her left shoulder, hard. He broke the skin and than licked it up in order to infuse his youki into her bloodstream. As soon as he did that, he sliced his own left shoulder and when he felt her walls tighten around him, he shoved it into her face. She immediately bit down and did what he did. Surprisingly, some of her reiki went into the spot she bit but he wasn't hurt.

Kagome's head fell back onto the pillow as she looked up at him and smiled. She cupped his cheek and sighed happily.

"I love you, Inuyasha."

"I love you too, my mate."

He kissed her before arranging themselves so that they are comfortable for the next few hours. They layed down on their sides, arms and legs wrapped around each other and his cock swelled up and constantly pumping his seed inside of her womb. Every now and than he shudders at the amazing feeling and she moans along with him.

She looks into his golden eyes and sighs happily. She's finally home. She's finally where she belongs. Forever...

~•~

Kagome and Inuyasha have been mated and married for about a week. They are walking down the dirt road of their village, Inuyasha dressed in his normal firerat and Kagome wearing her new demon silk Miko robes. They stopped to look above them, seeing Sesshomaru fly by with Jaken hanging onto his Mokomoko.

Kagome yelled up to the dog demon Lord as if they have never been at odds. "Onii-san!" Immediately receiving a death glare from him in return. "Huh? He looked really annoyed." She turned to an equally annoyed Inuyasha and her eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, you too?"

Inuyasha's hands stuffed into the sleeves of his Suikan, he looks at her like she has two heads. "That just sounded so wrong."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he bent down for Kagome to hop on. She happily obliged and smiled as he ran through the trail like old times.

'I'm sure that things will continue to change, little by little, as I live in this world.'

Her smile widened as she held onto him just a little tighter. 'I'm going to spend everyday with Inuyasha.'

Inuyasha landed at the top of a hill, looking down on the beautiful view below. Kagome slid off of his back and stood by his side, both of them smiling happily.

'As Inuyasha and I... head towards tomorrow.'

A/N: This is the first time I have ever written a post-canon fic! I hope it was written to your standards and you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! I used the final scenes of the anime and added my own version of how I think things would go between them. Thanks for reading!
