My Daughter..Your Niece, Your Savior

Chapter One The Proposal

The Inu gang had been walking all morning and all afternoon. It had been unbarebly hot. Shippou was currently trying to keep cool in Kagome's pack. The only time they ever stopped was to eat and when Kagome 'sitting' Inuyasha.

It was finally starting to get dark and to cool down. The gang had silently decided to make camp, that is, everyone except Inuyasha. "Inuyasha! Come on! It's geting dark and my feet are killing me!" complained a 17 year old, acheing Kagome. "Feh. You guys are just weak. Im not human so-" "Sit!" Wham! the gorund shook with the subdueing spell.

Ten seconds later..."What was that for!" "I told you earlier, no more weak human comments or im going to 'sit' you." Wham! "Oops! Sorry!" "Yeah I bet!" "Inuyasha! Ugghh! I give up!" She sat on the ground and crossed her arms over her chest. "Im not moving until you find us a place to stay the night. My feet are killing me an dthe ohers look as tired as me." "Feh...Fine. GIve me a minute." He walked off and heard, "Thanks, when we get to campin ground I'll make you Ramen!" Inuyasha instantly sped up, Ramen! That was good enough for him to gfind a spot to say. And to secretly please Kagome, he found one wit a hot spring.

"Theres one about ten minutes from here. There's a hot spring not five minutes from the camp ground." "Oh thankyou Inuyasha! Comeone Sango lets get there and make dinner quickly. Witht hat her and Sanog sprinted in the direction Inuyasha had walked back from. Kaogme all of a sudden stoppped in her tracks and froze. "What is it Kagome?" asked Sango worridly. Kaogme sighed and looked up to Sango with a saddend look in her eyes. "Kouga's on his way." "What is it Kagome?" Shippou asked tiredly as he woke up from Kagome jostling him while she was running. "It's nothing Shippou, but you might as well get up now, we'll be at camp soon. "Okay." "Hey Kagome! Hows my women doing?" Shippou sweat dropped and jumped out of the bag, landing in front of a very pissed hanyou. "What are you doing here you mangey wolf?" "I'm checking on my women. What does it look like?" "Kagome's not your women!" "I dont see you making a move on her. So why dont I?" Inuyasha blushed slightly and then got in Kouga's face. "Kagome's not going with yu so back off! She's staying with me!" "You have that dead priestess, why don't I take Kagome off your hands!" "She's not property! And she's staying with me! She means more to me then Kikyou ever did!"

Meanwhile..Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kirrara, and Shippou were sitting on the ground drinking some of Kagome's bottled water. Kagome had Shippou on her lap and had just took a drink when she heard.."She means more to me then Kikyou ever did!" She spat out her water, just over Shippou's head. (whew, that would have been gross) Kagome looked at Sango and Miroku, -who happened to be midway of touchin gSango's ass- as if to say "Did he just say that?" They nodded to her silent question. Then they all looked towards Inuyasha an Kouga. They were both up ineachothers faces, and it looked like they were haveing a staring contest. "Hey Kouga?" Kouga looked towards Kagome and smirked. Meanwhile in Inuyasha head..'Why is she talking ot him? Didn't she just hear what I said? And if she did, will she reject me? Or will she just pretend that I didn't say anything?' "Kouga maybe you should go. I'm tired and want I wan tto take a bath. Plus, Inuyasha is right. Im not property. Im staying wiht Inuyasha anyways. I promised him." She said the last words so quietly that Inuyasha and Kouga could baerly hear it. Kaogme ducked her head in embarressment, and to hide her blush.

"You wont be coming wiht me at all, will you?" "No. Im sorry, but I chose to stay with Inuyasha a long time ago. And besides, you should forget about me, Ayme loves you, and I know you stil love her. Oyu should just forget about me." Kouga waked over to her and grabbed her hand. "I wont ever gorget you Kagome. I'll always be here to protect you." He then bent down and took the jewel shards out of his legs. He looked at them, thn Inuyasha, then Kagome. He placed them in her hands. "Take 'em. You can sense them. Wich means your supposed to have 'em." "Kouga.." With that Kouga bent dow and kissed Kagome on the corner of her mouth. He smiled when he saw the blush on her cheecks. He pulled away. "You mangy wolf, get the hell off her!" "Don't worry mutt face! She's all yours. You had better take care of her, or it'll be your ass!" Then he darted off into the quickly setting sun.

Inuyasha just stood there, staring at Kagome, anxiuosly waiting to see what she would say. He sort of hoped she hadn't heard, but an even bigger part of him hoped that she had. Kagome had been staring at where Kouga just was, she then looked up at Inuyasha. He was staring at her with a pleading look in his eyes. "Kagome..." "Inuyasha, did you say that? Did you really say that?" "He blushed deeply, but didn't look away. "Yeah, I did. You do mean more to me then Kikyou did. I just couldn't tell you. I didn't know how." She walked over to Inuyasha, not looking at his eyes. Inuyasha was scared by her absence of looking away from him. 'Does she not except me. "Kagome..If you dont feel the same way I--" He was cut off as she rapped her small fists around his kneck and hugged him close. "I do feel the same way. I always have." She hugged him for a couple of minutes. Her burying her face in his hair, and him in her kneck. He took a big whiff, her smell was amazing. Apples and honey. It always sootehd him. She pulled away slightly and looked at his eyes. She was about to pull all the way, reluctantly, but she didn't want the others to keep watching them. He then grbbed her waist and pulled her face closer to his, with his eyes closed. She opened her eyes wide and instantly became 15 shades of red. He was almost to her lips when they heard, "Hey, Kouga came by here didn't he?" It was Hakkaku and Ginta. Kagome instantly pulled away from Inuyasha, it was bad enough Sango and the others saw them, they didn't need more google eyes.

"Yeah he ran off that way" she said as she pointed to the East-which is the direction Kags and the gang are going- "oh thanks lil sister, we'll see ya around!" cried Hakkaku and Ginta together as the ran off. Kagome looked over at the others. They were all looking at them weird. (Miroku , Sango o-o, Shippou o0) "What you guys looking at? Especially you monk!" You could tell Inuyasha was angry, and embarressed. "Nothing" they all answered. Then Sango grabbed Kagomes wrist, and her bag, and dragged her to the camp site. "Uh..Sango..you okay?" "Fine just wanna talk to ya" she smiled, but it was a girly smile. Inuyasha looked over at the monk, "what?" "You finally told her" "Yeah so! what about you and Sango!" "After seeing what you did, I think I can tell Sango. Maybe tonight." Shippou and Kiara just stared at hen as if they were nuts.

When the guys got to the camp site they saw evreything ready for bed, and the food in the pot done. With a quick whiff of he nose Inuyasha could tell it was RAMEN! Htne he took another whiff to make sure that Kagome and Sango made it to the spring. They did. Inuasha sat down and ate all his food in 3 minutes. He then sat back against a tree to relax and wait for Kagome. He was just about to get comfty when he heard a scream. But it was no ordianry scream, it was Kagome's. She had called out Sango's name. Inuyasha and Miroku were up and at the springs in seconds. They both jumped over the bushes and yelled their 'lovers' names. Kagome screamed, "Inuyasha! What the heck! SIT!" He fell right on top of her, in the water."Miroku, you lech! Can't we bathe in peace!" She grabbed for a thick log next to the spring. "Sango really we thought you were in-" "save it!" With that she smashed the log on his head, knocking him on counciuse. Sango turned around to find Kagome deep red in the water with Inuyasha 'sat' on her. He was totally drenched. Sango realizing Kagome's discomfort, grabbed Inuyasha by the leg and basically flung him out of the water. "Grab Miroku and get out of here. Kagome seems upset. Without giving a second though, he didn't want to be 'sat' again, he grabbed Miroku and dashed back to Shippou and Kiara. Kiara had turned into her demon hell-cat form and protectively huddled around Shippou. Inuyasha came in the clearing and just dropped Miroku next to the fire. His face was still blushing from the position he was just in.

When Kagome and Sango came back, Kagome's face was still red, Miroku had gained concouisness. Sango was in a nervouse mood and kept clasping and unclasping her hands. Shippou and Kirara had already fallen asleep, all curled together. Kagome, seeing Sango's hands, grabbed Inuyasha's hands and dragged him away form the two. "Im sorry, Inuyasha." "What for?" "For 's'ing you. I didn't mean to have you land that way." Kagome's face was red again, and she could feel the het on Inuyasha. "Feh" She smiled a littl an dwalked a couple more feet before sitting down. "Why did you scream anyways?" Inuyasha still stood, looming over hr, almost in a menacing way. She could tell he was doing that so she would answer. Sango said something that surprised me. I didn't mean to scream but it kind of all of a sudden kinda thig." "Oh. What did sahe say?" He sat down in his dog position, looking at her intently. "You'll find out later. I should'nt tell ya. It's not mine to tell." He just 'feh'd again.

Kagome smiled again and looked away for a second. When she turned back around Inuyasha lips were on hers. At first she didn't do anything out of surprise, but she soon got out of her shock and hesently kissed him back. Inuyasha was surprised by all the emotion and spark running through that kiss. It was just supposed to be a tender, soft kiss. But he wanted more. He licked between her lips, and was rewarded, although hesitstedly, wiht entrance. They continued making out for ten minutes, then cuddled together under a tree.

Meanwhile at the camp site. "Sango?" "Yes, Miroku." "Im sorry for seeing you. But I was just running to your aid." "Yes I know. And Im sorry." Sango scooted slightly closer to Miroku. Miroku took his arm and draped it around Sango's waist. 'Please dont let him ruin this! Or elese I might not be able to tell him to nite.' Miroku surprisingly didnt move his hand down. "Sango" "Miroku" They both said at the same time. "Miroku let me go first." "No, I insist. Let me." "okay" "Sango, when Im around you, I feel strange. I love the way you smile, and how caring you are." Sango's heart started to beat in the rythm with Miroku's, both going extremely fast. "I love how brave, smart and beautiful you are. I guess what Im really saying is...I lo-love you Sango, and I wish for you to be my wife." Sango stopped breathing for a second. Miroku's heart felt like it was going to burst wiht excitement, and worry. "Yes," she said so quietly that Miroku couldn't even hear her. "What was that, my dear Sango?" She turned to face him and rapped her arms around his kneck and kissed his cheek. "Yes!" she cried into his shirt.

Miroku was exstatic wiht happiness. He hugged her and kissed the top of her head. "I love you Sango" " I love you to Miroku." She snuggled into him and shared his warmth. They fell asleep like that.

When Kagome woke up about an hour later she realized she was in a tree, in Inuyasha's arms. 'Inuyasha must have brought me up here when I fell asleep.' She reached up to his face and caressed his cheek. He smiled in his sleep. Then she moved to his hair. "Kagome.." he whispered wantoningly. She smiled and moved to his ears. (new shed go there) She made small circles around them, then rubbed in and around the front and back. He started to purr and brought her closer to him. He then bured his face into her kneck and growled lovingly. She giggled. Unfotunetly that woke him up. He pulled away from her and then glanced at her hand, wich was at his ears. He smiled playfully and begam to nip her earlobe. She moaned at the sensations. She brought her other hand up an rubbed the other ear. Inuyasha growled again and licked under her lobe. She moaned again and he pushed his hips into her. She realized what he was ding to her, and she to him. She was only 17, she wanetd Inuyasha, but she couldn't do it now.

"Inu..Yasha.." she said breathlessly. "We cant do this now. Im only 17 and I have to finish school." Inuyasha looked hurt and rejected. She quickly kissed him passionatly. "Inuyasha. It's not like I dont want you, because I do. But I have to do things first. And we have to kill Naraku first." At the mention of his name Inuyasha's jaw hardend. "Your right about Naraku." He sighed. Then he lookd at Kagome and his ears perked up. "Kagome, when we are done with everything is done, will you be my mate?" She stared at him for a second, and then launched herself at him for another kiss. "Yes, Inuyasha. Of course!" He smiled and madeout with her again.

About ten minutes later she seperated and said. We should get back to camp. The others will be worried." He sighed regretably. She giggled and kissed his cheek. He grabbed her waist and dropped out of the tree. Then he put hr on his back, and carried her to the camp. When he got there he froze at the cuddling couple. Kaogme just giggled and said, "Thats what Sango told me and I screamed about. She was gonna tell him that she loved him." He smiled slightly and walked over to the tree next to Kagome's sleeping bag. She smiled at him and kissd his cheek, then got ready to get in the bag. Before she could even bend down he had her at the waist and jumped into the tree. He set her in his lap and whispered in her ear. "Sleep up here with me tonight." She sighed happily and nodded. She leaned into his rock hard chest and quickly fell asleep. He smiled and kissed her temple. He then followed her into slumber. Both dreaming of the other.
