Chapter Five: Will you...

"I love you." Inuyasha whispered to Kagome once they were in the forest, away from prying eyes. Kagome smiled and gave him a kiss. "I love you too but right now we need to get the herbs." She said looking at a bush closely. Finding the two of the many herbs they would need she cut a small batch of both with a small pocket knife and threw them into her basket. They had been looking for herbs for about twenty minutes. Inuyasha sighed, looking at Kagome who was closely inspecting some mushrooms. Her raven black hair streamed down her back while a few pieces slid next to her face, slightly hiding her eyes.

Kagome slid a glance at him through her hair. He was leaning against a tree his arms folded in the same manner as always, his hands in his sleeves. A light wind blew gently making his silver hair sway ever so slightly. He looked so handsome. She stood and walked a bit deeper into the forest while Inuyasha followed her silently. He kept his ears alert for any sounds. Letting all his senses loose he found that no one would bother them. He relaxed and let his thoughts of earlier that day, in Kagome's time wash over him. When he had asked Kagome's mother about anything he might need to ask Kagome to marry him, Mrs. Higurashi told him to come back in an hour or two and that she would get Kagome the perfect ring. So while Kagome was up stairs he had picked a ring from a jewelry store sales booklet.

"Inuyasha, are you in there? Inuyasha, snap out of it!" Kagome's face was suddenly in his yelling. "Ah, sorry, I was just thinking!" Inuyasha cried almost jumping out of his skin. Kagome raised a brow. "Okay, I'm not even gonna ask what about." She then turned around and proceeded to look for some berries. Inuyasha pushed aside his thoughts and helped Kagome with the search for supplies. After being out in the woods for forty-five minutes, a record time for those two, they had all the things they needed. "Well that's all. Let's head back." Kagome said turning in the direction of the village. "Go ahead, I'm gonna go for a run then I'll meet you at Kaede's hut." Inuyasha replied giving her a grin. "Ok, don't be to long." "I won't."

As soon as Kagome went towards the village Inuyasha bounded off as fast as he could to the well. Jumping through it he landed on the other side and made his way to Kagome's house without slowing his pace. Rapping on the back door Inuyasha grumbled at the time it took Mrs. Higurashi to open it. "Good you're here. C'mon in I'll get the ring. I told father about it." Mrs. Higurashi said as she headed towards the living room. Inuyasha followed her into the living room. Kagome's grandfather held the ring in its case. He stood up and went to Inuyasha who gave him a slight smile. "Inuyasha, please take care of Kagome." he said handing the case to Inuyasha who opened it and smiled brightly. Kagome will love this ring; it's got a sapphire imbedded in a diamond on a gold band, perfect for Kagome's taste and beautiful enough to compliment her beauty as well. Inuyasha thought please with his ring selection. "I will take care of her very well, I promise." Inuyasha said shaking Kagome's grandfather's hand. Letting go he said, "See you all later." And with that he was out the back door and through the well once more.

"Oi, where's Inuyasha!?" Shippo called to Kagome waiting for her to come into flinging distance. "He went for a run!" Kagome said reaching Kaede's hut and catching Shippo in her arms. "He better hurry!" Sango fumed. "Calm down my dear Sango." Miroku said as his hand reached towards her bum. She glanced at his hand then glared up at the houshi, her look promising pain. He gave an awkward chuckle and moved his hand to his side. Kagome sat Shippo down and went to put all the herbs in zip lock bags and give the basket back. The group got ready and as they exited the hut Inuyasha ran up to them. "There you are! Have a nice run?" Kagome asked and Inuyasha, to everyone's surprise blushed slightly and nodded.

The group headed of to the south keeping an eye out for any sign of youkai and jewel shards. The day was uneventful actually. Miroku acted like a hentai as always, Sango beat the shit out of him as always, while Inuyasha and Kagome walked a little bit ahead talking, and Shippo slept in Kagome's arms holding a small Kirara. "Hentai, get your hands off me!" SMACK! THUD! Kagome and Inuyasha sighed, looking back at a pissed Sango and a twitching Miroku who was lying against the base of a tree. "We might as well make camp here." Inuyasha said putting down Kagome's pack.

Miroku slowly got up and managed to say, "Hai, that will be best." Before he slumped down holding his head in his hands, the evidence of Sango's slap was a bright red handprint that almost seemed to be glowing from the force she had used. Everyone set up camp and soon Sango and Kagome were fixing dinner. Shippo woke up and talked to Miroku a bit as he played with Kirara. Sango was watching the food on the fire and Inuyasha decided that then was his best chance to talk to Kagome. Grabbing her hand he pulled her away from the group and deeper into the surrounding woods.

Stopping near a small moonlit stream he turned and faced her. "What's up, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked puzzled at his sudden urgency to talk to her alone. "Kagome I want you to do me a favor, alright?" Kagome nodded looking somewhat skeptical. "Good, now close your eyes." She did so. Inuyasha took out the ring and gently taking one of her hands he pulled them both into kneeling positions. Opening the ring box he turned it so it faced her and then said, "Open your eyes." Kagome slowly opened her eyes and gasped at the ring. She looked at Inuyasha who smiled wickedly and asked, "Kagome, will you marry me?"

"Hai." She said breathlessly without any hesitation. Inuyasha smiled and taking her hand slid it onto her finger. It was a perfect fit and she marveled at its beauty. "Oh, Inuyasha." She whispered lovingly. He smiled and kissed her gently. "I am half human so I want to marry you in the way of the youkai and the way of the humans." He said wiping away the tears flowing from Kagome's eyes. "Don't cry, love." He whispered softly starting to kiss away her tears. "I'm just so happy Inuyasha. I never thought that I could be this happy in all my life." "Do you want to tell the others?" "Can we? You don't mind?" "Of course I don't mind. I know how happy it would make you. And I'm sure that you want Sango to help you plan the wedding for this time. I asked your mother for her blessing and she has given it to us." "You asked her? So that's how you got the ring. Well at least we know that my family has accepted us." "Hai they have. Now let's head back." Inuyasha said pulling Kagome up and leading her back to the camp.

When they reached camp the food was done and Kagome and Inuyasha announced their engagement to the others. Sango started to cry softly and began hugging Kagome when she asked her to help plan the wedding. Miroku actually gave Kagome a hug with out being a hentai. He then gave Inuyasha a hug and congratulated him. Shippo was happy for them and was nice to Inuyasha the whole night. But all too soon they lay down for the night as the gentle sway of the trees and the night sounds washed over them like a lullaby.

Kagome rolled over in her sleeping bag, not yet able to fall asleep. She tensed slightly when she felt sudden warmth pass through her body, and then she heard the voice once more. A soft angelic female's voice in her mind, the same one she heard before when Inuyasha had first said he loved her. 'Hello, Kagome.' the voice said softly. Who is this? She asked in her mind, trying not to become frightened. 'I can not yet tell you. Please tell me, are you alright?' I'm fine. 'Good, then how are your companions?' Fine but I want to know who this is! How can you invade my mind like this!? Kagome was beginning to panic slightly the smell of slight fear her body was giving off was starting to reach Inuyasha who was perched in the tree above her. 'Calm down. I will not harm you or your companions. I just want to be sure you are safe.' The voice said and Kagome once again felt warmth pass through her body and it calmed her despite her fears.

Alright I will talk to you but I won't promise anything, got it? 'Yes, I suppose that's a fair deal.' Good, so tell me. What do you want? 'I want nothing from you I just wish for your safety as well as the safety of your companions.' Yet you can't tell me who you are? The voice sighed. 'No I can't. It would be too risky.' Well this is freaking me out! I don't know who you are or what you look like or anything! 'I understand but I give you my word I mean you know harm. I know that other than that I give you no reason to trust me but I beg of you to give me a chance.' The voice said pleading and a hint of sorrow in its voice. I...I will but if anything happens to me or my friends because of it I will find you and make you pay. 'Then it's a deal. I will leave you to your rest now but know this, when you go to find the next jewel shard tell Miroku not to use his hand or the saimyousho of Naraku will come.' Naraku! He's connected to this?! But how do you know!? Kagome asked fearfully. 'I can see the future. It's a gift I was born with. But I must go now. Do not worry and try to rest. I will do all I can to keep Naraku from sending his saimyousho to the village. He will not come that I know.' The voice said almost seemed to seethe in anger when it spoke of Naraku.

Ok. Goodbye. 'Good night and goodbye dear miko. Tell no one of our talks for it might worry them.' I.I won't goodbye. Kagome said in her mind and she felt warmth once more, knowing that the voice had left her. She thought about everything that had been said and fell into a peaceful sleep. ~ Kagome was falling through the air. She opened her mouth to scream, or to breathe, or maybe to cry out, which one she didn't know. She landed softly on her feet looking around making no sound. The only thing she could hear was her own gentle breathing. A gentle wind blew making the fog around her ankles, which she hadn't noticed was there before, blow around in white puffs of cloud. In the distance she heard the melody of a flute. Turning she decided to check it out.

She walked for what seemed to be an hour. Then she saw a dark shape through the fog. "Who's there?" she called and the music stopped. "Hello?" she asked becoming frightened. Then she heard it, the most beautiful song. She gasped as she realized that the voice singing was the voice that spoke to her in her mind. Blindly she ran through the fog. She stopped and blinked looking around. The fog was fading away. The voice was still singing, and the song was beautiful but it was in a language she didn't know. Then she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. Turning around quickly she saw a figure wrapped in white robes.

Hair, the color of sakura streamed down the body of the woman before her. Yes, it was most defiantly a woman. The robes were almost skintight and you couldn't miss the outline of her body. Soft pink lips curved into a gentle smile. Kagome tried to see the woman's eyes but they were covered by a light veil. "You're the woman who speaks to me in my mind aren't you?" She asked looking up slightly. The woman was a bit taller than her and that's when Kagome realized that the woman was in fact, only maybe two years older than herself. The girl, since she was no more than seventeen or eighteen, smiled once more and nodded. Her hand dropped from Kagome's shoulder and she turned, walking away from Kagome. She sat down on a large rock and picked up a flute. White, made of ivory it had a green leafs painted and carved into it and it had a gold trim along the leaves. Kagome gasped as she saw a bright aurora coming from the girls back. It was amazing because the aurora was in the shape of wings. Kagome reached out a hand to touch it but as she did everything faded, leaving nothing but darkness swirling around her. ~

Kagome sat up gasping for breath. Looking around she noticed it was still dark, a few hours before dawn and Inuyasha was sitting close by her. "You ok? You were murmuring in your sleep." He said worry etched on his face. "It was just a dream. I'm fine." She said tracing his jaw with her fingers. He shivered and kissed her hand. "Well then are you gonna stay in bed?" She nodded then grabbed his hand. "Will you lay down with me for a bit?" she asked as she let go of his hand and scooted away from Shippo slightly. He nodded and lay down next to her on the ground. Wrapping one arm around her waist he gave her a kiss. Sighing she lay her head on his chest as he murmured sweetly to her and she soon fell asleep once more, listening to the reassuring beating of his heart.
