Life's Loves
Chapter 9
Morning broke though the window to a scene of both of them still cuddled together in the same position as the night before. The sun pouring through the window woke Kagome up slowly she blinked and turned around to find Inuyasha sleeping peacefully /So much for him guarding all night. He must have been more exhausted than he thought/ Kagome thought. /He's so beautiful./ Kagome spent the next few minutes just admiring his face then began rubbing his ears to gently wake him up. It didn't take much rubbing before two golden orbs were looking at her.
“Morning,” Inuyasha said in a sleepy tone.
“Morning,” Kagome replied and then kissed his nose. “you ready to talk to my family about our situation?”
“We might as well get it over with and say our goodbye's until we see them in 450 years.”
“If we see them again. That's a lot of time that we'll have to live through.”
“I know but we'll live through it. Why don't you pack up everything that you think you'll need and I'll bring it through the well while it still works.”
“Alright I'll start on that after breakfast.” Kagome said while getting out of bed and heading for the bathroom. “Inuyasha why don't you go down stairs for breakfast and I'll join you there.”
“Alright.”
Once in the bathroom Kagome went about doing her morning ritual while thinking. /Pack what I think I'll need how about everything./ Kagome thought while cleaning her face /Well I'll just have to go through my room piece by piece and see if it's really necessary or not it's the only way to do it./ 10 minutes later she walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the kitchen and the eventual talk with her family. She met up with Inuyasha in the stairs.
“Why aren't you down stairs with my family?” Kagome asked.
“I wanted to walk in with you not just say that you were coming shortly.” Inuyasha replied.
“You just didn't want to invite yourself to the table right?” Kagome asked while continuing down the stairs and towards the kitchen.
“Yes, they may feel like family but they're not family yet. Well at least not until were mated.”
“Come on let's go eat and explain our situation to Jii-chan and Mama.” Kagome said.
They walked into the kitchen hand in hand and sat down after greeting everybody. Breakfast was a quiet affair both having decided that they would wait till Souta left for school before speaking of their situation. Just as the meal was coming to an end Kagome started the conversation that would be the beginning of a new life.
“Mama, Jii-chan we need to talk to you.” Kagome started hesitantly.
“Yes dear what is it?” Mama inquired.
“When we went to the past we found out that our souls have been merged in the way souls merge when youkai take a mate.” Kagome started. “This also means we have a month from the time when our souls were merged to be fully mated. If we don't then our souls will die and never exist again.”
“Mate? What do you mean? Kagome." Mama asked.
“When you say mated you mean all the way with marks and the physical step?” Jii-chan asked while his face went pale.
“What other way is there, old man?” Inuyasha asked growling. “Of course all the way in fact we have already started the process and only have three day's to get Kagome marked before my mark disappears.”
“To answer your question mama, it's the equivalent of a human marriage.” Kagome answered.
“And you have to do this Kagome?” Mama asked.
“Yes, we do and we won't get a second shot at this.”
“What do you mean only one shot?” Jii-chan asked.
“Inuyasha's brother won't help us again in gaining his blessing and without his blessing we can't find Inuyasha's mark even though we know where it is.” Kagome explained.
“I don't follow.” Mama said.
“It's like this to find my mates mark the leader of her clan must give us his blessing. It was the same for me but since the leader of my clan is my brother that happens to not exactly like me we had a slight problem.” Inuyasha explained, “Luckily he owed us a favour and we were able to get his blessing but he won't do it again. It was a one time deal.”
“Now we have three day's to get me marked before his disappears.” Kagome said. “Jii-chan will you please give us your blessing?”
“Of course Kagome. When do you want to find your mark?”
“It has to be done in the evening and under the sacred tree where we first met.” Inuyasha answered. “I'll also have to assist you in finding the spot since apparently only those of demon blood are able to find it.”
“Very well we shall do this tonight under the sacred tree.”
“Could we do it tomorrow evening instead?” Kagome asked.
“Why tomorrow?” Mama asked.
“We need to bring things over to the other side of the well before it closes and we only get to see you in 450 years.” Kagome answered.
“What do you mean until you see us in 450 years?” Ji-chan asked.
“We both had a dream about Midoriko, the priestess that created the shikon-no-tama, and she said that she could no longer keep the well open since the jewel is no more, but would keep it open long enough for us to complete this one task.” Kagome explained. “I know it's sudden but it's all we can do right now. We didn't get much warning ourselves we only found out last night.”
“Is there nothing you can do about this?” Mama asked with a pleading voice. “Because that is a lot of time to have to survive through.”
“I know I said the same thing but I'll be with Inuyasha and we'll make sure to survive. Unfortunately there is nothing that I can do. It will be longer for me than for you. We'll probably show up in a few weeks with a tonne of grown up grandkids or me pregnant to make it up to you.” Kagome replied.
“Even still I'll worry until you show up again. But what if you don't show up again will you find a way to tell me?”
“Of course Mama. We'd make sure that you knew so that you could know and mourn properly. But don't worry we'll make it and we'll see each other again. Now if you'll excuse us I have some packing to do and preparations to make.” Kagome replied while excusing herself from the table and finishing her conversation before it became to painful for herself.
Inuyasha stayed a while longer to speak with her mother. “I'll make sure she comes back to you I promise.”
“Thank you. I believe you now go be with you fiancé I think she's in need your strength right now.” Mama beckoned. Inuyasha took his leave and went to find Kagome.
