Hey guys.  This is a kind-of sequel to My Kagome, so if you haven't read, it might help to figure out the new relationship and other points that might come up in this story, but then again everything might make sense to all. 

I don't own Inu

At Last

This can't be happening!

            Inuyasha and Kagome climbed out of the warm tub and dressed in clean clothes.  Inuyasha watched as Kagome blow-dried her raven hair as she hummed "Tokyo Nights" by Utada Hikaru.  She could see him staring at her in the mirror and a smile played on her lips.  'I can't believe that I will be his from now on.  I have never looked so forward to anything in my life.'  Kagome's thoughts were interrupted as her mother called them down for dinner.  They all sat down and ate peacefully.  Kagome could notice her mother smile every now-and-then and wondered what she was thinking.  'I can't believe my mom said that about having grandchildren. I am still so young.  But I guess in the sengoku-jidai they married really early.  I just don't think I am ready for that.'  She snuck a look at Inuyasha and laughed out loud as she saw him devour his dinner in a matter of moments then try to distract Souta to get his food also. 

            After dinner, Kagome went upstairs to pack.  "This is all happening so fast.  It seems like just yesterday I broke the shikon no tama."

            "Aren't you happy Kagome?"  Kagome let out a surprised gasp and whipped around to see Inuyasha standing in the doorway of her bedroom.  His arms were crossed and Kagome thought that she could see pain in his eyes.

            'He thinks that I don't really want this!'  Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and snaked her arms around his neck.  "Of course I am happy.  I just can't believe it, that's all.  It's like a dream.  Just the other week we were fighting over Kouga, and now you are mine.  I am very happy Inuyasha.  You make me very happy."  She gave a reassuring squeeze to his neck and resumed packing. 

            "Make sure you bring lots of ramen.  I'd like to stay there a while."  Inuyasha started to turn out of the door, but stopped briefly, "wench."  He could see the small smile form on Kagome's mouth as she tried to look irritated.  He walked down the stairs to where the rest of Kagome's family was.  Her mom (I don't know her name so if anyone does, please let me know) looked up from washing the dishes as he entered the kitchen. 

            "Oh, hello Inuyasha.  When are you two going back?"  Inuyasha looked up at her, curious as to why she seemed so eager to be rid of them.

            "We are going to leave as soon as Kagome is done packing."  She gave Inuyasha a giant wink and sat down next to him at the table.

            "Now Inuyasha, I know that you love my daughter.  I realized it the first time I saw you look at her.  She is in your hands now Inuyasha, and I know that you will do everything you can do keep her safe.  You have proven that many times.  That is the only reason why I am letting her be with you, and why I am so excited for her.  You are good for her Inuyasha, and I have an odd feeling that you two were meant for each other.  I hope that you two get some * ahem * privacy in your time."  Inuyasha's mouth fell to the floor as she stood up to continue washing the dishes.

            "Why do you want grandchildren so bad?"  She stopped washing the dishes and got a glazed look over her eyes.

            "I know that you two would be wonderful parents.  Before Kagome's father died, we had wanted to have another child, but we just weren't able to at the time.  I guess I just miss having little ones running around."  She gave him a halfhearted smile and continued with the dishes. 

            "I will honor Kagome's wishes in whatever she wants."  Just then Kagome walked in with her overstuffed yellow bag.

            "Hey guys, whatcha talking about?"  She sat the bag on the table with a huge thud.

            Her mothered answered before Inuyasha had a chance, "We were talking about children."  Kagome's heart almost stopped.

            "Children!  You mean Inuyasha and me?  Now?"

            "Not right now honey.  I was just telling him about your father and me wanting a child, but we couldn't.  I don't expect a grandchild now, but soon I hope.  I know that you two will have plenty of time to have children, just as long as I get visitation rights!  I just know how hard it is to, uh, resist...certain…urges, and I want you to know that if you are ok with it than so am I."  Kagome and Inuyasha just stared at her in disbelief. 

            "Um, thanks mom, I think."  Kagome hoisted her bag on her back, gave her mom a kiss goodbye, and they headed back to the well, still in shock from the conversation with Kagome's mother.

            They landed back in sengoku-jidai and Inuyasha leapt them out of the well.  He set her down gently and they proceeded back to the village.  Inuyasha suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.  Kagome looked at him worriedly as he got a very odd expression on his face.  "Alright you guys.  You can come out.  I know you're there."  Shippo, Sango, and Miroku emerged from behind them.  "I thought you guys would have learned your lesson by now."  Inuyasha stared them down.

            "Uh…we were…uh…looking for herbs!  Yeah looking for herbs."  Miroku spoke up for the three of them.  He got a very smug look on his face, obviously proud of his quick thinking skills.  Sango and Shippo just nodded enthusiastically agreeing with him.  They were afraid of what Inuyasha would do to them if he really knew that they had been waiting since the two of them left for Kagome's time. 

            "You guys aren't fooling us.  You're just lucky I'm in a good mood."  Inuyasha gave a small wink to Kagome and they continued walking to the village with three very stunned bodies stuck in place behind them.  All was light hearted as the five of them walked to the village, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku now convinced that Inuyasha was truly in a good mood and was not going to punish them.  Kagome was telling Sango all that happened as they walked slower than the boys so they could not be overheared. Shippo sat on Inuyasha's head and helped Miroku drill him with questions about what happened.  All they could get out of Inuaysha was an occasional smile, blush, and the word "mine".  They were quite mystified.  They were almost at the village when Sango and Kagome bumped into a stopped Inuyasha.

            "Inuyasha, why did you stop walking?"  Kagome looked up to see the reason for Inuyasha's halt.  Sesshomaru (don't know if that's how you spell it.  The name is so friggin long!) was standing in front of them with a very smug look on his face.

            "Brother!"  Inuyasha drew tetsusaiga and moved to attack.

            "Foolish boy.  Always rushing into battle."  Sesshomaru easily blocked Inuyasha's attack and seemed to disappear momentarily, only to show up right behind Kagome.  He grabbed her by the waist and drew her near him, one clawed hand held at her throat.  "How pathetic, you can't even protect your own woman.  I smell your scent on her and hers is on you.  She truly is yours now isn't she?"  Sesshomaru tightened his grip on her to prove to Inuyasha that he was in control of the situation.

            "Let her go!  She has nothing to do with this!  It's between you and me."  Inuyasha could feel his blood starting to boil.

            "I want the tetsusaiga.  Hand it over, and I let her go."  Kagome struggled to get out of his grip.

            "No Inuyasha, don't do it!"  Sesshomaru let one claw pierce her pale skin causing a trickle of crimson to stain her shirt.  Inuyasha could barely contain himself.

            Sesshomaru gave him no time to respond.  "I could have fun with her.  She is feisty, and Rin will enjoy a playmate.  I think that I will take her with me."  In an instant, there was nothing where Kagome and Sesshomaru stood.  Inuyasha's heart broke as he realized he was unable to protect the woman that he loved.  Sango held a shaking Shippo, and Miroku could not believe his eyes.

            "Inuyasha, what do we do?"  He turned to look at Inuyasha.  He had the look of a madman on his face, one that needed revenge.

            "We go find her.  I know where he is taking her.  It will take long days of nothing but travel, I understand if you do not want to follow."

            Sango answered before Inuyasha had a chance to finish his sentence, "Of course we are going.  She is our friend too!  Kirara!"  Kirara came from where she (I think a she) had been watching and transformed.  Sango and Shippo climbed on followed by Miroku behind them.  "Keep your hands to yourself monk or I will toss you off!"  Sango urged Kirara to go and they were off to find Kagome. 

            'I can't believe this is happening.  I just got her!'  Inside Inuyasha was berating himself for letting his guard down around Sesshomaru.  "I will find you Kagome!"  He reached deep inside himself and urged his body to move faster.

Tada!!  What do you guys think??  Sound good so far?  I hope so.  Let me know watcha think, as always.  I know that I didn't do as good on this as the others, but I am so very tired and I tried.
