InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silver Tears and Puppy Ears ❯ Marry Me ( Chapter 14 )

Marry Me

Inu Yasha carefully climbed out of the bed so he wouldn't wake up Kagome. He jumped over to the fridge and took out a bottle for Shippo then tiptoed over to Shippo's crib and lifted the sleeping infant from it. He glanced over to Kagome quickly to make sure she was still sleeping and then carefully opened the door and snuck out closing the door behind him as quietly as possible. He only needed Kagome to over sleep about an hour for his plan to work and without Shippo their hanyo alarm clock he knew she would sleep late. Katsumi was already in the kitchen with Ji-Chan sharing a pot of green tea with him. Inu Yasha walked into the kitchen and sat down across from Katsumi and Ji-Chan, adjusting Shippo in his lap so he would stay asleep.

"Your up early Inu Yasha" Katsumi commented.

"Yeah I wanted Kagome to actually get a full night of sleep with out Shippo waking her, I uh, would it be possible for the house to be empty tonight?" Inu Yasha blurted out.

"For what?" Ji-Chan demanded. Inu Yasha blushed but forced himself to ignore it.

"To give Kagome her ring," Inu Yasha mumbled.

"It wont be a problem, we'll bring Shippo, go out for dinner" Katsumi declared and then took a sip of her tea.

"Thank you" Inu Yasha said and he quickly stood up and went back upstairs. Hopefully Kagome was still sleeping and he could sneak in and she would never know he was gone. He opened the door slowly and peeked in at Kagome and let out a small sigh of relief and almost punched himself when he saw Kagome turn in her sleep.

`Baka, she's a hanyo too she'll hear you'

Inu Yasha pushed the door open just enough to get in, somehow Shippo had stayed asleep the entire time, helping Inu Yasha complete his mission unknowingly. He put the pup down in his crib and watched him to make sure he wouldn't wake up then he put the bottle back, and then crept over to the bed and carefully crawled in next to Kagome. He smiled when he looked over at her and she was still asleep. If he wasn't trying to keep it a surprise he would love to wake her up and brag about it, see her pull something like that he though. Finally realizing if he didn't at least look like he had been sleeping, she'd figure it out so he put his head on the pillow and gently wrapped his arm around her and forced himself to go back to sleep.

"So Ji-Chan, where should we take everyone for dinner tonight?" Katsumi asked.

"How about that old sushi bar-"

"No Kagome took Sango for sushi yesterday for lunch" she interrupted.

"We could take them to one of those American restaurants." He suggested.

"That might be a good idea, didn't they just open one of those Friday's over by the fish market"

"Yep I walked past there on shrine duty yesterday" Ji-Chan said proudly.

"Don't tell me, you went to pick up my fish and you were trying to sell some of those key chains again saying they were good luck or made wishes come true." Katsumi said flatly.

"Well they do" Ji-Chan defended as he picked up his tea and left the kitchen.

"Oh Ji-Chan when will you learn" Katsumi sighed and finished her tea enjoying how quiet it was in her home for the time being. Soon Souta would wake up, and then Shippo would wake up and wake up Kagome and Inu Yasha. Sango was already up and outside training and Miroku was meditating, Kirara was either sleeping or chasing Buyo around the shrine the poor cat had lost some weight since Kirara came here. Katsumi took the last sip of her tea and then walked outside to where Sango and Miroku were, if she told them now then Kagome wouldn't overhear.

"Sango, Miroku, I hate to interrupt, but we will be going out for dinner tonight so that Kagome and Inu Yasha can be alone"

Sango nodded and went back to training. Miroku glanced over at Katsumi as he stood.

"What for?" He questioned.

"Inu Yasha is giving her the ring tonight, oh its so exciting" Katsumi said happily.

Sango stopped training and walked over to the pair.

"Really, well its about time, the wedding is in 3 days" Sango said as she wiped some sweat from her forehead.

`Of if only Kagome's mother wasn't here, Sango looks so nice right now in those clothes Kagome gave her'

"I'm going to go get started on breakfast" Katsumi said and excused herself.

`Finally maybe Sango won't mind if I just…'

"Miroku, I need to talk to you" Sango said shyly.

`DAMN'

"What about?"

"Well, let's so go sit under the tree" Sango said as she motioned to the God Tree.

"Ok" Miroku agreed and he walked over to the tree behind Sango enjoying the view of her backside. He shrugged in defeat as she sat down and sat next to her.

"I like your company Miroku, I like being around you"

`This is it, maybe she's finally decided!'

"And what I'm saying is, well, I want to keep being around you and keeping you company. Those times when I almost killed you when I wa-"

"I already told you, it doesn't matter what you did, just that you didn't actually kill me, I'm fine, maybe a new scar but, I already forgave you, you can forgive yourself" Miroku interrupted, he hated the way she would berate herself over what happened, it wasn't like he didn't deserve it.

"I know, but well while I was sick, you told me that"

"I love you Sango" Miroku interrupted again.

"And I told you to rot in hell you disgusting slimy bastard, but what I wish I had said is that I love you Miroku" Sango said quietly as a blush crept over her face. Before she had the chance to wonder how he would react, he had grabbed her `round the waist and pulled her to face him and pressed his lips firmly against hers. Sango brought her arms around his neck and pushed back against him. He released her for a moment and as soon as he heard her take a breath he crashed his lips down on hers Sango opened her mouth and he slid his tongue into her mouth battling hers for control. Sango tried to keep up but found herself needing air again and pulled away from him and gasped for breath leaning into Miroku. Miroku raised his arms around her back and hugged her. He had thought that losing the wind tunnel would be the happiest he would ever feel, how stupid could he have been, finally a woman, not just any woman but Sango had allowed him to kiss her and kissed him back after declaring her love for him, a lecherous monk.

Kagome stretched her arms and looked over at Inu Yasha

`So peaceful when he's sleeping, I think I'll let him sleep late today' Kagome thought as she stood up and walked over to Shippo. Smelled his mother near Shippo slowly opened his eyes and smiled up at Kagome. She smiled as she picked him up and sat in the rocking chair that had somehow found its way next to the crib while they were sleeping. `Mama's rocking chair'. Kagome lifted a small stuffed dog from the floor and gave it Shippo. He sniffed it a minute and when he was sure it was his toy he sucked on the dogs ear. Kagome giggled and Shippo looked up at her distracted from the dog's ear, letting it drop from his mouth.

"I guess your hungry" Kagome teased. Shippo smiled as she said hungry and started stretching his arms towards her.

`He understands the word hungry' Kagome thought in shock as she unbuttoned her pajama top and lifted Shippo to her breast. Wasting no time Shippo began eating his breakfast. Inu Yasha felt Kagome's weight lift from the bed and had been watching her with Shippo and felt it was time to wake up. Kagome glanced over at the bed as Inu Yasha sat up.

"Morning sleepyhead" Kagome teased him as he cracked his neck.

"Me, sleepyhead? I've been up since you left the bed" Inu Yasha declared.

"Oh really?" Kagome said sarcastically.

"Yeah, and don't let him chew on those pretend dog's ears, he'll think its ok to chew on ours" Inu Yasha said

"You really were up" Kagome said surprised.

"I said I was" Inu Yasha said before leaning over and placing a quick kiss on Kagome's lips. She smiled up at him as he pulled away. He sat back down on the bed waiting for the routine to finish. She'd fed him burp him put him back in the crib, he'd hand her the pump and smell the dirty diaper she would pretend to not smell and change him while she pumped the remaining milk. He heard the familiar click of the fridge closing and lifted Shippo from the changing table and followed Kagome downstairs. He inhaled deeply savoring the sweet smell of breakfast coming from the kitchen. He was really starting to like it here; the smell of Kagome's mother's cooking was much better than the old hags. This morning she had made pancakes, something he liked a lot, it was almost as good as ramen, and you could pour syrup on them or melt some chocolate chips on top, maybe spread a little bit of butter on them. His stomach growled daydreaming about the pancakes causing Kagome and Shippo to laugh. He glared at them but couldn't help but laugh as well. He was always in the mood for food why his stomach growling made them laugh he had no idea. He wanted to know though.

"What's so funny?" Inu Yasha demanded.

"You… your face… you were practically drooling over the smell of the pancakes" Kagome said while laughing. Inu Yasha quickly wiped his mouth to discover he really was drooling.

"Keh, shut up" Inu Yasha huffed trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Your lucky I cant sit you anymore" Kagome said irritated. She smiled when Inu Yasha froze and waited for the incantation to take effect. He realized yet again that she could no longer sit him and relaxed and looked around to see if anyone but Kagome and Shippo saw him. He would have kept their little pretend argument going but he was hungry and damn did those pancake smell good.

"Ah good morning" Katsumi said brightly as they walked into the kitchen. Inu Yasha put Shippo in his high chair and sat down next to Kagome. He watched every move that Katsumi made with his breakfast trying to keep his drooling in check. Souta ran into the kitchen and almost crashed into his chair. Kagome giggled and Inu Yasha barley noticed. Not long after Souta came crashing into the kitchen Miroku and Sango walked in from outside and sat down in their usual places. Katsumi called Ji-Chan and began setting the food on the table. Inu Yasha quickly took a huge tower of pancakes separated them on his plate, spread butter on them and drowned them in syrup. Everyone else watching in amazement as Inu Yasha ate. Inu Yasha glanced up and noticed they were watching him.

"Aren't you guys gonna eat?" he asked. Everyone quickly took some food and ate quietly forcing them selves to not react to his barbaric eating habits. It would take some time for Inu Yasha to tame some of his habits.

"I've decided that we will be going out for dinner tonight" Katsumi announced.

"Really where" Kagome asked between bites.

"Well I thought that we, me Ji-Chan and Souta, could get to know Sango and Miroku better, and give you a night off and bring Shippo with us" Katsumi said hoping that Kagome wouldn't argue about not going.

"Oh that sounds good, just make sure you bring a few extra bottles and diapers and toys to keep him entertained at dinner, I love the little guy to death but a night off would be wonderful, I could take a bath" Kagome said happily and took another fork full of pancakes.

`That was easier than I thought, I thought for sure that Kagome would argue with her mom over this' Inu Yasha thought as he gorged himself. Kagome finished her plate and began to clean the other empty plates from the table into the sink. Katsumi offered Inu Yasha the rest and he gladly accepted.

"I hope Shippo doesn't eat like this as he gets bigger, or there wont be enough food for anyone but themselves." Kagome commented as she watched Inu Yasha devour his fifth helping of pancakes emptying the bottle of syrup in the process. The others nodded in agreement as they watched him finish.

"I'm going to go for a run does anyone want to join me" Sango questioned.

"I'll go Sango" Miroku answered quickly and followed her out of the kitchen.

"Is it just me or is something up with those two?" Kagome asked.

"Yep, I saw them kissing under the God Tree this morning" Katsumi said nonchalantly.

"About time" Kagome thought out loud.

"Yeah, I thought she'd never stop trying to kill him" Inu Yasha added to the conversation.

"Inu Yasha" Kagome growled. Shippo looked over at his parents as Kagome growled. Kagome realizing that Shippo understood her growling at Inu Yasha immediately softened her demeanor so he wouldn't get upset. Katsumi said goodbye to everyone and headed out to run her daily errands promising to be back in time for them to leave for dinner. Souta ran through the kitchen after her,

"MOM WAIT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ME TO SCHOOL!!!!" He screamed after her afraid she'd leave without him. Shippo began to whimper and Kagome and Inu Yasha clamped their ears down as Shippo began to build up, Kagome quickly lifted Shippo from his high chair and rocked him.

"Shh baby its ok, its ok, don't cry" Kagome cooed in an attempt to soothe him so he wouldn't cry. Inu Yasha quickly stood in front of Kagome and began rubbing Shippo's ears to ease the left over feelings of pain he might have from the screaming.

"How is it that he sound of his crying is louder than any thing else but it doesn't bother him, yet when anyone else makes a loud noise he cries?"

"Does your yelling hurt your ears?" Inu Yasha questioned.

"…No" Kagome answered.

"Exactly"

Kagome continued to rock Shippo after Inu Yasha stopped rubbing his ears and sat back down. Kagome followed suit and sat down next to him.

"He didn't cry" Kagome said shocked.

"Yeah that's a first"

"And this morning when I said hungry he understood that, maybe he understands other things as well."

"Told you he's smart" Inu Yasha bragged.

"Yeah, maybe he'll stop interrupting us after all" Kagome said happily.

"You know, we'll be alone tonight" Inu Yasha said seductively. Kagome laughed quietly but inside she was thinking finally.

"Why don't you go relax and take that bath I'll sit with him during his nap" Inu Yasha offered.

"Ok" Kagome said and she allowed Inu Yasha to take Shippo from her arms and stood.

"I promise not to take long I promise"

"Don't worry I can handle it, just relax" Inu Yasha demanded.

"Ok" Kagome replied and she left the kitchen and headed to the bathroom.

He's so sweet, he's changed so much since we came here; he's softened so much. Sango and Miroku are closer, I do miss Satoru though. I hope he's happy now that he's found his parents. Kagome sighed as she thought about Satoru, she really did miss him a lot, and she wanted him to meet her baby. Maybe when the baby is born we'll go and see him. Kagome turned the nozzle to turn off the water and slipped into the tub.

"That's right it's just you and me, because we're going to let Okaa-san get some rest you work her to hard" Inu Yasha said to Shippo. Shippo just watched him talking and burbled.

"Go to sleep pup, your supposed to be napping, I don't want to hear it from Okaa-san again that I let you skip a nap… again." Inu Yasha said. Shippo continued to stare up at him and chew on his fist. Inu Yasha put Shippo down into his crib and walked away. He heard him begin to whimper.

"Don't you start crying, you have to learn to do what your supposed to" Inu Yasha said softly. Shippo kept whimpering but after a few minutes if his whimpers being ignored Shippo finally drifted to sleep. Inu Yasha flopped backwards onto the bed and sighed.

"That was harder than I thought it would be"

He rolled over onto his side and tried to relax while he waited for Kagome. He closed his eyes for just a second; he wasn't going to sleep just closing his eyes.

Kagome opened the door to her bedroom and couldn't help but smile. Shippo was snoring softly in his crib and Inu Yasha was curled up on her bed asleep.

`I guess both my guys needed a nap' Kagome thought to herself. She unwrapped the towel from her hair and squeezed out the rest of the water. She walked over to her closet and looked for her blue dress.

Inu Yasha yawned and looked over at Kagome as she went through her closet. As she reached up for something her towel slipped off of her revealing a very naked Kagome. Inu Yasha felt his face get hot as he stared at her. No matter how many times he saw her, he'd never get enough of her. Kagome didn't bother to cover herself because she found the dress. She put on a bra and underwear and put on the dress then glanced over to Inu Yasha knowing he was awake.

"Nice view" Inu Yasha commented in a very Miroku like way.

"Lech"

"Only for you"

Kagome leant over, giving Inu Yasha a very nice view of her cleavage and while he was distracted grabbed the pillow from the bed and threw it at him. He grabbed the pillow as it flew into his face.

"What was that for" he demanded.

"For being a lech" Kagome said as she sat down onto the side of the bed.

"Your lucky I won't throw it back at you" Inu Yasha said defeated.

Kagome heard the sound a door open and close and then noticed the scent of Sango and Miroku. She didn't bother saying anything because Inu Yasha knew they were back as well. So she stood up and walked over to the door, Inu Yasha watched her get up and quickly stood up after her. He knew she was going downstairs to find out what was going on with Sango and Miroku, and he was actually curious what the stupid monk had done to get Sango completely in his good graces. He felt guilty leaving Shippo alone in the room, but the second he cried to announce he was awake they would hear him. Inu Yasha left the door open and went downstairs to find Miroku. Sango and Kagome had already gone outside to talk so Miroku was sitting on the couch alone.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"So, you and Sango, finally got it together huh"

"Yep, finally"

"How long you think they'll be out there?"

"Until Shippo wakes up"

"How long you think that will be"

"Its his afternoon nap"

"That long…"

"My mom caught you and Miroku outside kissing" Kagome said to her friend.

"So then you know already." Sango said trying her best not to blush..

"Tell me what happened"

"I told him I loved him, and he kissed me" Sango said blushing even more. The two friends sat outside talking about the changes between Sango and Miroku for over two hours when Kagome heard the sound of Shippo crying.

"Shippo's awake" Kagome said as she leapt up into the God-Tree and then climbed in through her window. Inu Yasha walked through the door as Kagome lifted Shippo from his crib.

"Could you go tell Miroku and Sango to get ready for dinner, my mom should be picking up Souta from his friends house and then she'll be here to get them for dinner" Kagome asked Inu Yasha.

"Sure, you going to feed him?"

"Yeah, this way he'll be calm at dinner"

"Good idea" Inu Yasha said as he walked back out of the room. When he came back he told her that Sango and Miroku were going to get done. Shippo was already feeding when he came in. He stood behind Kagome and massaged her shoulders while she fed Shippo. As soon as he was finished Kagome burped him and laid him down on the bed behind her while she yet again pumped the remaining milk he didn't finish. The two sat together quietly just enjoying each other's company. The smell of Shippo's diaper wafted up to their noses and Inu Yasha changed him. Kagome prepared Shippo's diaper bag and went downstairs to wait for everyone. Inu Yasha took advantage of the opportunity and began to prepare for the night. Katsumi had picked up pre-cooked food for them on her way home because Inu Yasha didn't have the opportunity to make anything because he was with Kagome all day. He set the table, put candles on the table. Went upstairs through the window and cleaned up the room putting all of Shippo's toys back in his toy chest and he made the bed. Then he hoped into the shower and cleaned up. He even wore the clothes that Kagome had picked out for him that she liked a lot. He left the water running so that everyone would think he was in the shower still and listened as Katsumi and Souta came back, Katsumi went into the kitchen and took the food out of the shopping bags and hid it in the oven. Katsumi went outside and woke up Ji-Chan who at some point during the day had fallen asleep on a chair outside. He listened as Kagome gave her mother instructions for Shippo and they all left.

`Finally, thought they would never leave'

Inu Yasha quickly shut off the water and jumped out of the window to Kagome's room and ran into the kitchen. He quickly put the food on the table and lit the candles. He listened as Kagome realized he was no longer in the bathroom and walked into the kitchen to figure out what he was up to.

"Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked as she saw what he had pulled off right under her nose.

"Sit down" Inu Yasha said as he pulled out a chair for her. Kagome smiled and sat down in the seat. Inu Yasha took the seat across from her and served her some of the sushi.

"Inu Yasha this is wonderful"

"I thought you needed a break, and tonight was the perfect opportunity" Inu Yasha responded. Trying his best to not brag or let his plan slip.

"Is that chocolate mousse?" Kagome said surprised

"Your mom said you liked it"

"Oh Inu Yasha"

She picked up a spoon and ate the chocolate mousse quietly, watching Inu Yasha; he had to be up to something. As she ate she noticed that he had finished his very quickly, and was waiting for her to finish. As soon as she took her last bite Inu Yasha suggested they walk outside. Kagome accepted and grabbed Inu Yasha hand and went outside with him. As they reached the God Tree Inu Yasha stopped walking and slowly knelt down in front of Kagome. He took the box from his pocket and held it up to Kagome.

"For the longest time now I've loved you, you've given birth to one of our pups and are carrying the third, I know in your eyes that being mated means we're married, but will you marry me anyway?" Inu Yasha finished and opened the box. Kagome gasped when she saw the ring he had chosen.

"It's the ring from the magazine I was looking at, but how did you know"

"I caught you staring at the picture more than all the others"

"I didn't think you were going to do this"

"So is that a yes or a no?"

"OF COURSE IT'S A YES" Kagome said excited as Inu Yasha stood up and slid the ring onto her finger. She held out her hand admiring the ring and then jumped into Inu Yasha arms.

"I love you so much Inu Yasha"

"I love you more Kagome"

Kagome smiled as happy tears crept down her face and she pulled herself close to Inu Yasha and nuzzled her nose against his. Inu Yasha growled playfully and tilted Kagome and kissed her. Kagome moaned into the kiss as Inu Yasha leapt up from the ground into the God Tree and then into Kagome's window.

"I've missed this so much" Inu Yasha said between kisses.

He allowed Kagome to stand on her own feet and pulled the straps from her shoulders and let it fall from her body. Kagome slowly unbuttoned Inu Yasha's shirt as he removed her bra. Kagome pulled Inu Yasha shirt off of his body and then traced her finger down his chest and stomach and unbuttoned his pants and zipper. Inu Yasha lifted Kagome laid her down on the bed and pulled her underwear down her legs slipping out of his own pants in the process. Kagome smiled as Inu Yasha adjusted himself and carefully slid into her, Kagome wrapped her arms around Inu Yasha back as he gently thrust into her. Inu Yasha tilted his head down and gently kissed Kagome as she arched up into him, her body twitching and tightening with his every movement. Finally she cried out as he thrust into her faster and she came. She pulled him down and whispered cum for me. Inu Yasha carefully thrust in and out faster and reached his own climax collapsing on top of her. The two of them lay there gasping for breath not moving. Finally Inu Yasha rolled off of her and Kagome turned onto her side and rested her head in the nook of his shoulder and drifted off to sleep. Inu Yasha caressed her face as he watched her sleep. Afraid that the two would be naked when Katsumi returned and put Shippo in his crib he pulled the covers tightly over them and listened to Kagome's heartbeat and gentle breathing. The smell of their love making still heavy in the room made his senses tingle and he sighed with content as sleep claimed him.
