Chapter Eight
Shippo's Reaction, and the Answer to a Question
When Kagome and Inuyasha arrived at Kaede's hut it was already past sundown and everyone was waiting for them.
"Where have you two been!" Sango asked, suppressing the urge to yell as she looked at Kagome. "And you said you'd be back before sundown! Dinner's already getting cold."
"Sorry, there were a few unexpected events." was all Kagome could say before Inuyasha set her down.
"Kaede, Kagome hurt her ankle, but it's only sprained. Could you do me a favor and keep her off it so it heals properly." asked Inuyasha standing up and beginning to walk away.
"Of course Inuyasha, but where are ye going that ye can't do it yourself?" Kaede asked curiously as she started looking at Kagome's ankle.
"I want to get something, but I'll be back in a few." he replied as he started walking away.
"You're leaving?" Kagome asked, shifting her body to look at him.
"I will be back, don't worry." is all he said and was gone into the forest.
"Kagome what happened to you? Your all scratched up and…and…you've been marked!" shrieked Shippo.
"Shippo, calm down." Miroku said sternly.
"Kagome, what happened to your ankle?" Sango asked picking up Shippo and putting him on Miroku's shoulder.
"I tried going home through the well even though Inuyasha told me I couldn't." she said looking at the ground beside her. "I was just going to visit and then come back. I twisted my ankle on the landing. A minute later Inuyasha came and we were talking until Koga came."
"Koga?" Miroku, Sango, and Shippo shouted at once.
"Koga and Inuyasha started fighting until I stopped them."
"Did Koga mark you?" asked Shippo hoping it wasn't Koga that had marked Kagome because he hated the idea of his surrogate mother being mated with that jerk.
"No Shippo, Koga did not mark me." she said smiling at him for reassurance.
"Then who did?" he asked curiously. He wanted to know why he was the only one who didn't seem to know.
Everyone fell silent for a moment until Kagome tried to explain.
"Shippo…Shippo the one who marked me…and made me their mate was…" she started to bite her lower lip so hard it started to bleed, but didn't pay much attention to the metallic taste until she heard him.
"The one who marked her and made her his mate was me Shippo." said the voice.
"Inuyasha! You're back!" Kagome said happily.
"Of course, you think I'd leave my Kagome for long." he said smiling as he sat down beside her and brought her into his lap. Wrapping his arm around her waist possessively and bringing her back to rest against his chest. "So how's that answer for ya runt?"
Kaede, Sango, and Miroku just smiled. Shippo's eyes grew wide as planets with tears peaking at the corners.
"Get over here and sit with us." Kagome said quietly holding out her arms to him. He ran into her arms as she wrapped them tightly around him in a protective manner. "What's the matter, Shippo? Why are you crying?" she asked.
"The little runt probably realizes he'll be sleeping in a different room." Inuyasha wrapped his arm back around Kagome. Shippo let a wide grin spread across his face.
"It took you two so long to get it together. Even I knew you two were in love."
At this both Inuyasha and Kagome flushed crimson. Until Kagome set Shippo down and the air filled itself with silence.
"Was it really that obvious?" Inuyasha said breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"Yeah! It was!" Sango, Shippo, and Miroku said all at once.
"Ye must admit it was rather noticeable." said Kaede.
"Ok, ok back off. So we're together now. That's all that matters." Inuyasha snapped at them, but then a grin spread on his face as he looked at Sango and Miroku. "And next it'll be you two."
"What!" shouted Miroku and Sango.
"It's true we all see it." said Kagome as everyone fell silent looking at Shippo who started to yawn. "Looks like it's getting around your bedtime Shippo."
"Aww…but Kagome, I don't wanna go to bed." he wined.
"Shippo, listen to Kagome." said Inuyasha sternly.
"Alright, I'll go. Goodnight everybody." giving Kagome a peck on the cheek he ran off to Sango's hut.
After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, Kagome started to talk.
"I guess you guys want to know what happened. Huh?"
"Ne child, Sango told us basically what happened." Kaede said gently.
"How did Sango know? Kagome! You told her! We were supposed to tell them together." he said shifting her in his lap so he made eye contact with her.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha. It came up earlier and Sango was so concerned that I had to tell her. I didn't know she would explain it to Miroku and Kaede." she said placing a hand on his cheek with an apologetic smile.
"Ok, but we need to ask Kaede about the rosary before we go to bed." he said as she turned around.
"Ye wish to speak with me?"
"Yes, Kaede. We wish to speak to you about why the enchanted rosary will no longer subdue Inuyasha." Kagome asked as she started playing with the ends of Inuyasha's long silver hair. Inuyasha didn't mind his mate fiddling with his hair and rested his chin on her shoulder waiting for Kaede's answer. Miroku and Sango also looked at the old miko also wondering the same.
"Kagome is a miko like myself, but since Kagome has been mated to Inuyasha she can no longer be a shrine maiden because she is not a maiden. Thus all her miko powers are no longer, meaning the subdue spell will not work, she cannot travel through the well, she cannot use enchanted arrows in a battle, and lastly she can no longer detect the Sacred Shikon no Tama jewel shards."
Trying to take in all this information, Miroku and Sango could do nothing but look with concern at the couple across from the. Kagome couldn't believe her ears. Inuyasha had already expected the answer, but he didn't mind that Kagome had lost her powers. He couldn't help but notice Kagome's body stiffening in his arms.
"Uh…um well I'm going to bed now." Kagome said trying to stand with her hurt ankle, but falling back into Inuyasha's lap cringing from the pain.
"Kagome are you alright?" Sango asked.
"I'm fine Sango. Just tired that's all."
"Kagome why are you so tense?" Inuyasha asked.
"It's just been a long day, Inuyasha." she replied letting out a heavy sigh and resting her back against his chest once again.
"Perhaps we should all get some rest. I will see you all in the morning." said Miroku as he stood and headed towards his hut.
"I agree, come Sango we shall take our leave till morning." said Kaede heading for her hut as well.
"Goodnight Kagome, Inuyasha." Sango said hugging Kagome for the night, giving Inuyasha a glare that said 'You better not hurt her.' all over it. Inuyasha only responded by nodding his head.
"Check on Shippo for me will you, Sango?" Kagome asked not noticing Sango's glare at Inuyasha.
"Of course, Kagome." Sango said heading to her own hut with Kirara.
Once everything was quiet, Inuyasha pulled Kagome close to him nipping gently at her neck playfully. Smiling he turned her around to face him. Giving her a quick peck on her forehead he looked into her eyes finding evidence of tears forming he couldn't help but think he did something wrong.
"What's the matter, Kagome?" he asked embracing her tightly, with no intension of letting go anytime soon.
"I'-I'm s-so s-sorry, Inuyasha." she started sobbing into his haori.
"Sshhh…It's ok Kagome, it's ok. C'mon I'm taking you to bed." he said lifting her up bridal style with her arms wrapped around his neck and tears still flowing down her cheeks.
As he entered the cozy little hut he set on the edge of the bed with her sitting in his arms, rocking her back and forth and holding her close in his loving embrace.
"What are you sorry about Kagome? You've done nothing wrong."
"I can't see the jewel shards anymore, Inuyasha. Now how are you supposed to find them to become full demon." she said looking at him with tear filled eyes.
Inuyasha couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle as Kagome looked at him with a bit of puzzlement in her eyes.
"You really think I care about the jewel anymore. I don't want to be full demon now that I have you. All I want is for us to be together and for you to be happy, Kagome."
"Do you really mean that?" she said looking up at him tucking her arms to her chest.
"I swear it, Kagome. I swear it." he replied holding her close as she cried herself to sleep. Laying her down on the bed, he took off his fire rat haori and threw it to the side. He then climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back to his chest, and inhaled her sweet scent of wildflowers in the morning dew. As he fell asleep, one thought went through his mind.
'I will hold true to my word, Kagome, for our love is strong and if I have learned anything there is one thing. Love will Always Overcome.'
