“Are you okay.” Sango asked, looking concerned. Shippo had been sitting on the porch all morning, mouth slightly agape, staring at his friends. He had been doing this ever since they had told him about the previous nights events. He hadn't said a single word towards any of them, he just stared.
Suddenly, he jumped off the porch and launched himself into Kagome's arms. “You're not leaving!” He yelled excitedly.
She laughed, “Nope! I'm staying right here.”
“Well, that was a delayed reaction.” Miroku remarked.
Shippo hugged Kagome and then bounced into Sango's arms. “You guys too?”
Sango giggled and nodded her head, “Us too.” She said.
Everyone was finally happy. Inuyasha and Kagome had each other. Miroku and Sango had each other. And Shippo had them all. HIS family all together forever. Shippo thought with a smile, “And I can say forever now. . . and mean it.”
Inuyasha and Kagome walked up to Shippo. “Hey Shippo.” Inuyasha said.
Shippo looked at him, “Hey.”
Kagome picked up Shippo, “We were just wondering what your plans were now that everything was calming down.”
Shippo's heart sank. He had been hoping that he would be allowed to continue to stay with them. He had certainly gotten a lot stronger since the first time that they met. So he thought that he would still be able to fight alongside them. And now they were talking like he couldn't. Like they wanted to know where he would be so they could visit when they were passing through. “Well, I guess I will stay here with Kaede. Help her out when she needs it.”
“Oh.” Kagome said. “That's nice. If that's what you want.”
“Why?” Shippo asked now near tears.
“Cause we thought you might stay with us.” Inuyasha said in a slightly harsh tone.
A smile spread across Shippo's face. “I can?” He screamed.
“Of course, stupid. Inuyasha said sarcastically. Shippo's sunken heart now soared into his throat as he hugged Kagome and then hugged a shocked Inuyasha. Inuyasha patted his back in a half-hearted attempt to return the hug.
“Now,” Shippo thought, “Everything really is perfect.”
Later that day they were all sitting in Kaede's hut eating lunch in silence. When the suddenly heard an all too familiar voice. Inuyasha put down his ramen and growled, “ What is HE doing here?” They all stood up and went outside.
“Kagome! I've been looking all over for you.” Koga was at her side in an instant, holding her hands. “I've come for you. Now that Naraku is dead and his incarnations defeated, it is time that you take your rightful place by my side as queen of the demon wolf tribe.
Kagome blushed and before she could even formulate a response Inuyasha had yanked her from Koga's grasp, “HOW DARE YOU!”
Kagome laid a hand gently on Inuyasha's shoulder. “Inuyasha, let me handle this okay.” She said gently. Inuyasha settled and stepped back, his facial features relaxing. Kagome stepped forward, “Koga, I will not go with you.”
“Why not? I don't know why you insist on staying here with this DOG! He doesn't love you!” Koga spat. Inuyasha was heard growling in the back.
“Actually,” Kagome said standing beside Inuyasha. She smiled and took his hand, “he does.”
Koga nodded, “ You choose this, mutt-face over me?” He asked indignantly.
“Yes.” Kagome said simply.
Koga sighed, “Happy?” he asked.
“Couldn't be happier.” She beamed.
“Very well.” He said defeated. Koga leaned in and kissed he on the cheek amidst the growls heard from Inuyasha. “I take my leave.” He said genuinely.
Inuyasha put his arms possessively around Kagome. She smiled and melted into his embrace. “Well that was entertaining.” Miroku stated.
“Uh huh.” Sango agreed. They, along with Shippo turned and went back into the hut to finish their lunch, leaving their two love struck friends alone in the yard.
They shared a passionate kiss. Inuyasha growled into her mouth as he picked her up and took off. He squeals of glee could be heard as they faded from view. He carried Kagome bridal style as he jumped from treetop to treetop until they reached a cave deep in the mountainside. He placed her down at the mouth of the cave. She couldn't help but smile.
“This is where I use to spend my time on the night of the full moon. Fifty years ago. I came back here a few days ago to fix it up. I wanted it to look nice.” Inuyasha informed her as he started a fire.
She walked into the cave. There were clean furs set as a bed in the corner. There was a table and two chairs set up in the other corner. She could hear water running behind rock and with her new found senses she could tell that there was a spring running through the next room. She walked past Inuyasha into the next room. She looked back at Inuyasha who was still making the fire and smiled mischievously. She walked up to the spring where it had been dammed up to make a pool. She disrobed and climbed into the water.
“Oh, Inuyasha!”
