***************************************

Last time on Sesshomaru & the Gates of Tolrona:

******Kagome’s POV******

“Glad to know you all cared about me. I thought about you all everyday,” I said.

“We did too, don’t worry, Inuyasha made sure of that.” I enjoy a laugh with Sango.

“Thanks Inuyasha,” I said to him, making him blush.

“You’re my woman. That’s what I’m supposed to do,” he snorted as if it was obvious. I only grinned at him. He smirked back. Koga smiled lightly at the commotion, but I could tell he still wasn’t over me choosing Inuyasha over him.

We began our descent down the mountain, when we saw the familiar yellow demon form.

“Hatchi,” Miroku shouted.

“KOHAKU,” Sango asked, seeing her bother on him. Why did I think this was not good news?

This time on Sesshomaru & the Gates of Tolrona:

Chapter 15

Kohaku’s Message, Kagome’s Return, and Inuyasha’s Proposal

******Kagome’s POV******

Hatchi landed where we were and offered us a ride the rest of the way down the mountain. What was Kohaku doing here?

As if thinking the same thing as me, Sango asked,” Kohaku, why are you here? You were supposed to stay in the village.”

“I know Big Sister, but me and Kaede received this scroll from Lord Ken of the Eastern Lands,” he replied, handing her the letter after we landed.

“Kagome! You’re back,” Ayame shouted, running towards me. She stopped smiling, after she heard Sango’s gasp. We all turned to her with her hands shaking.

“Sango, are you all right,” Miroku asks.

“Kagome, I think you should read this,” Sango only said. She hands me the paper and then it was my turn to get nervous.

“What does it say,” Inuyasha questions. I read it out loud so everyone could know what was going on. (A/N: Chapter 13 is the actual text in the letter is stated) This Lord also wanted me to lead him to the Gates of Tolrona. I guess word got around about me wielding the Key of Tsubasa. And I thought dealing with Sesshomaru was bad enough!

When I finished reading, Inuyasha and Koga were growling at the offender’s name. It stated that he was prepared to take me by force.

“Over my dead body, that that bastard will take Kagome,” Inuyasha proclaimed, with a determined look on his face.

“Let’s discuss this more away from this mountain. I think the others are getting worse,” Ayame suggested. I glanced over and saw Kirara, Shippo, Ginta, Hakkaku, and Myoga, looking quite sick.

“Oh no, Shippo,” I gasped. He was knocked out from nausea.

Hatchi was starting to look ill also. “Let’s go on my back,” he offered.

“Thank you Hatchi,” Miroku said, smiling at the tanuki. “I shall have to repay you for your services.”

“No need Master Miroku. Think of it as a Wedding Present,” Hatchi returned, ginning. Sango blushed out of embarrassment.

“You told him Kohaku,” she asked meekly.

“Yea, why not,” he responded.

“N…no reason,” Sango said. Miroku only smiled at her antics. I grinned and Inuyasha only ‘Keh’d in response. Koga chose to run along the bottom with Ayame in his arms. The rest of us got on the now, transformed Hatchi.

I must’ve looked worried because Inuyasha was looking me with the rare concern showing in his golden eyes. He came to sit beside me, with the sheathed Tetsusaiga in his hand, and said,” Don’t worry Kagome. I won’t let you get put in danger again.” I smiled at him and laid my head in his shoulder. I blushed and was about to pull my head away, but he laid his head against mine. He grabbed my hand and held it. I laced my fingers with his and we both looked out towards the horizon, where the colors of the sky blended together in an array if colors.

~~~~At Kaede’s after a week~~~

******No one’s POV******

“SIT BOY,” screamed the angry Kagome and down Inuyasha went. Koga smirked whilst the rest of the group sighed.

“I don’t care how many ‘sits’ you give me, you’re not going back, wench! I just got you back from Sesshomaru,” Inuyasha growled out, starting to stand up after the spell wore off.

“I need to go back! I haven’t been back home in at least a month! I have tons of tests I have to make up for,” she huffed back.

“Inuyasha, I think you should let Kagome go back. In her time, she’s safe from both, Sesshomaru and Lord Ken,” Miroku reasoned.

“Keh! Who asked for your opinion, monk,” Inuyasha growled.

“If you’re that heartbroken to let me go, then come with me,” Kagome suggested.

“You’re not going and that’s final,” he said back stubbornly, crossing his arms.

“SIT!” Down the hanyou went again. She let out a frustrated sigh and started walking towards the well. The rest of the group followed behind her.

“KAGOME,” Inuyasha shouted after her retreating form. “Dammit!” He got up and ran towards the rest of them.

He growled at the site he saw. Kagome was embracing Koga!

“What the hell are you doing,” the hanyou demanded.

“Relax Mutt-Face, I’m just saying goodbye. Me and Ayame are going back to the mountains,” Koga explained. He then turned back to Kagome and stated,” Remember if you ever need help, you know where to find me. I’ll always come running when you need me.”

“Thanks Koga,” Kagome smiled. Koga picked up Ayame and sped off, still fast without the Shikon shards that were once in his legs. Ginta and Hakkaku followed them, calling out to their leader to slow down.

Kagome’s facial expression turned angry once again, when she looked at Inuyasha. “I’m still going!” He glared back at her until she lowered her head, hiding her face from him. He, then, smelled the familiar scent of salt. She was beginning to cry.

He knew it was a loosing bet. He hated seeing other women cry and she knew it also. “Keh! Fine, you can go, but I’m coming with you. It can only be for two days,” he said, less gruff.

“I need more than that Inuyasha. I have to study and go to school for all of these tests,” she said, trying to push her luck.

“Ok, a week, but no more. As soon as it’s up, we’re coming back here!”

“Thanks you Inuyasha,” Kagome said, her mood immediately lightening. Miroku and Sango sighed of relief. She kissed him on the cheek from her sudden display of happiness. They both blushed deep crimson, but the monk and demon slayer, both, smiled at the tender moment. Shippo was confused, as usual, perched on Miroku’s shoulder.

“We’ll be back in a week,” Kagome said, breaking the silence.

“I hope you have a good time in your time,” Sango said, happily.

“Will you bring me more candy,” Shippo asked.

“Of course! Don’t I always,” Kagome laughed. Shippo grinned, thinking of the new items she would bring back for him. Inuyasha rolled his eyes out of annoyance.

“C’mon, we’re wasting time. If you want to ‘study,’ then hurry up,” Inuyasha barked, finally loosing his patience.

“Of course, O Mighty One,” Kagome replied with dripping sarcasm. He only grunted in response. They both dropped into the well together and felt the light surround them both.

~~~On the other side of the well~~~

******Kagome’s POV******

Home! I’m finally home! I can’t wait to feel the warmth of a bath, my warm bed, and my present day foods! I missed my family so much!

After shutting the Well House door behind me and Inuyasha, I rushed up to the back of my house. I slid back the door and shouted out,” I’m home!” I heard the sound of crashing and arms embrace me out of nowhere. I looked up to see my mom.

“Kagome! You’re home! It’s been so long! What happened,” my mom, said fast and with a worried tone.

“Maybe we should talk this over in the living room,” I suggested.

It was then that my mother recognized Inuyasha. “Inuyasha, you’re here too?”

“Hey,” he said, nervously. My mother smiled warmly. Sota and Gramps then joined in.

“Inuyasha! Kagome,” they both exclaimed. I embraced all of them and we walked towards the living room. We all sat down, and I begun to tell them about Sesshomaru and the Key of Tsubasa; everything that happened in the last month. I left out the part about Lord Ken looking for me, so they wouldn’t worry. After explaining it, I waited for their response.

“It seems that the fighting doesn’t stop even with the defeat of Naraku,” Mama observes. Me and Inuyasha shake our heads sadly. “At least you’re still alive and well.”

“Sis, where is the Key of Tsubasa,” Sota asked.

“Right here,” I directed, with my hand pointing to the strap on my side, where the key was. I stood up and took it off, unsheathing it and showing them.

“Wow! That’s so cool,” he exclaims. “It’s almost bigger than Inuyasha’s sword!”

“Indeed, it is very huge,” Gramps commented. I smirked at them while Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “I have heard of its legend. It is said that…” It was my turn to roll my eyes.

“Mom, I’m going upstairs to study. I know I have a lot to make up,” I say, trying to drown out Grandpa’s speech. Sota, however, was engrossed in what he was saying.

“Oh yes, Kagome, your friends dropped these off for you,” Mom says, holding up a huge stack of paper.

“Please tell me that’s not mine,” I exclaim.

“Unfortunately.”

I groan and go to pick them up. The papers almost go over my head. Inuyasha looked so confused and followed me upstairs to my room.

“Are you staying with us as well, Inuyasha,” my mother asked. He nods timidly and continues walked behind me.

I drop all of the papers on my desk and get out all of the books out of my desk. Mom bought me extra books because she knew of the many times I lost my book bag over in the Feudal Era.

“What the hell are those,” Inuyasha asks, indicating to the stacks of paper.

“Homework in which I have to get done for school. These may take a while to do,” I explain.

“Keh! I don’t understand why you keep trying.”

“I at least want to graduate high school.” He was silent and sat behind me on my bed.

Before I started, however, something nagged at the back of my head.

“Inuyasha,” I say softly.

“What,” he responds.

I take a deep breath. “What did you mean when you called me your mate, talking to Sesshomaru,” I ask.

He looks away. “I’m sorry it slipped out. I wanted to ask you.”

“Then ask.”

“Look, forget it.” I grew angry, but suddenly realized why he was hesitant. He was afraid of rejection. Afraid that he would have his broken again because of what happened between him and Kikyo.

“We are already together. You don’t have to worry about rejection from me.”

“It’s not that. In the demon world, mates mean an equivalent of how humans marry. I didn’t know if you were ready for that yet.”

Oh my god…OH MY GOD! He just proposed to me! Ok, not in those exact words, but close enough. I feel my eyes water out of joy.

“I knew I shouldn’t have bothered,” he growls and was about to open my window. I got a hold of his hand and pulled him back to face me.

“Don’t go! YOU ARE AN IDIOT!” I was suddenly angry. How dare he ask me to marry and not wait for my response?!

“Why the hell do you want me to stay when you obviously don’t-”

“How dare you ask me the most important question of my life and not let me answer?! You are a stupid idiot! SIT!” Down he went into the ground.

“Kagome,” he growled out in the floor.

“Of course I want to marry you , you dolt!” I feel my anger dissipate when he got and looked at me with shock on his face.

“Y…you do,” he stuttered out in disbelief.

“Yes. I couldn’t imagine anyone else I’d rather be with,” I say smiling through tears. I walk up and push my lips up to meet with his. He wrapped his arms around me and kisses back.

Then we hear the door slam open and we jump away faster than Koga could probably run. Me and Inuyasha blushed redder than tomatoes. “Kagome, what was that noise,” Mom asked.

“Oh, you heard that,” I asked meekly. “Sorry about that. Inuyasha just proposed to me and I accepted,” I beamed. All three faces had eyes open in shock.

“Is this true Inuyasha,” she asked him.

“Yea, I asked her to become my mate,” he said as if it was no big idea.

“Cool! I will be related to Inuyasha,” Sota exclaimed.

“Kagome, you’re too young to be married,” Mom said.

“In my time, girls already have children by her age,” Inuyasha said nonchalantly.

I felt my face pale. “I am aware of that Inuyasha, but in this time, she is still considered a child,” Mother explained.

“You’re not trying to keep her from me are you,” Inuyasha asked, nervously.

“Of course not, but I think you two should wait until Kagome graduates to get married.” I felt myself agree with her. Although I didn’t want to wait, I knew it was for the better. I was only 17 and I still had two years of high school left (including this year). I also wanted to get this Gates of Tolrona thing over with too.

“I agree with Mama. I want to finish this thing with the Gates of Tolrona first,” I say. Inuyasha’s ears droop, but he nods his head reluctantly.

“Will you stay in this time, Inuyasha,” Grandpa asks. That was a good question. I often wondered whether I should stay in my time or live in Inuyasha’s time.

“Well, we still don’t know about that yet. We have Sesshomaru to worry about still,” he answers for the both of us.

“I understand,” Mom said, jumping in.

“Can you all leave,” I ask. “I think we all need some sleep. I suddenly feel very tired.” They all nod and walk out. “I think I’ll study tomorrow. After all, it’s only Saturday. I don‘t think I can concentrate on anything right now anyways.” It was the truth. After all of those questions, it tired me out. I grabbed my pajamas and went to the bathroom. “I’m going to take a bath. Wait here.” He nodded and sat against the wall by my bed.

I ran the water and slipped in, sighing in relaxation. “I can’t believe I went without this for so long,” I sigh. I bathe myself and dry off, changing into my pajamas and blow drying my hair. I walk back to my room to find Inuyasha sleeping peacefully on my bed, his ears twitching every so often. I couldn’t help but smile. It was rare when I ever saw him this relaxed. I shut off my light and carefully slide into the covers beside him.

Before I dozed off, I felt his arms wrap around me. I felt complete. Boy, did I have a lot to tell my friends.
