Hey. I don't have any A/N's so this is it.

One Morning

Chapter I

He groaned, rubbing his eyes. Blinking, he noticed that there was a ceiling above him. It wasn't Kagome's ceiling, nor was it the sky that he was used to waking up to. He looked at his surroundings, the shoji screens, the tatami floor, and the futon blanket. What he didn't see was the person next to him.

Then he realized that he was naked. Butt-naked. Nothing on. He was horrified, and turned to his left. Kagome was right there, lying beside him, clad in only her necklace. She was also fully naked, her chest bared and her hair tangled.

His eyes widened immensely and little glimmers of the night before came back to him. He remembered licking the sweat off her lips, moaning out her name, and all sorts of things.

He saw the clothes he had shredded of her the night before, and sniffed them. His suspicions were correct. The remaining smell was her arousal, and her excitement. It smelled stale, since it was the night before.

He pulled his discarded clothes from the night before on, and pulled the futon cover off, revealing a small spot of blood on it. He froze. They really had done it. She had lost her virginity. The blood was the proof. She shifted, sighing.

No! Don't wake up. Please, don't wake up! He screamed mentally, clutching the fabric of his hakama. But unfortunately, she did.

She blinked, and rubbed her nose, yawning. Stretching, she winced. She was sore. "K-kagome?" He stammered, scratching the back of his head in nervousness.

"Hmm?" She asked, closing her eyes again. "Uh. I want to tell you something." He said, pulling the cover down to her knees again. She had pulled it back up from the lack of warmth.

She reached back to pull her shirt down but discovered it wasn't there. She turned around, realizing that she was pulling an imaginary shirt.

"Inuyasha. Don't tell me that we did that." She said, flushing. "Um. We did." He let it go, and sighed deeply. She looked at the futon and discovered the blood. It all came to her. The soreness, the blood, the damp sheets.

"Are you mad at me?" He asked, shamefully looking down at his feet.

"No." She said. "Do you even remember what happened yesterday?" She asked, covering her body with the haori he offered her.

"Little parts of it. I don't even remember how we got into this room. I remember sleeping in a different room with Miroku. Then, that's about it." He said, scratching his chin. "I remember that I was sleeping with Shippou and Sango was across from me, sleeping near the door. I couldn't go to sleep last night, for some odd reason. I felt a little depressed for some reason. And then I started to write in my diary. Then, everything went blank." She explained sighing.

She was wearing the haori as it would have been meant to be worn. She didn't even bother tying it. She had brought her knees up to her chest and rested her head on her knees, a small smile on her face.

"Ne Inuyasha, what do you will happen after this? I mean, you'll be able to have the jewel and then you'll wish to be full demon right? Then you can revive Kikyou and have that life you always wanted with her. Since I have no place here, I'll just go back home. I'll be a normal school girl again." The words she was saying were heard to say, but she swallowed the guilt back and continued on, her eyes softening in emotional pain.

"K-kagome." He stammered, surprised at answer. His back was to hers now, and he just stared at the ceiling, wondering if she was right.

"No Kagome. I won't leave you. You made a promise to me, and I am going to return it. Kikyou has to go to peace. She can't go living on living on young women's souls forever you know. It hurts, I know that, but I have to let her go someday. I can never have the life I wanted with her. Anyways, it's not like we can ever have children. Miko's are supposed to be pure for the rest of their lives. I don't think that her ways of thinking are going to make this work. I mean, she wants me to go to hell with her, but I can't. I can't leave you." He said, smiling faintly.

She didn't speak. She felt the warm tears roll down her face as she smiled, the shine of the sun making her tears sparkle iridescently. "Kagome? Did you hear what I said?" He asked.

"Yes. I did. I'm sorry for saying such stupid things. I didn't know what you're feelings were going to be." She said, turning towards him.

"You don't have to be sorry for anything." He turned his head to stroke her cheek, but she pulled away.

"What are your feelings? Do you love me? Or her?" She asked, breathing deeply.

"You." Inuyasha smiled, giving her a small peck on her cheek. She colored a deep crimson, and kissed him back, giggling.

She wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "Me too."

"Really?" He grinned and stroked a hand on her head, and tapped a finger on the tip of her nose.

She giggled again, and brought her hand to his left ear, petting it softly. He had gently put her down onto the futon and parted his lips at her neck.

He licked around the collarbone to find the mark. It was there. He bit his lip with his fang and let his blood surround the mark. It glowed a deep red for a second and then it disappeared, leaving a small scar like mark with his fang marks on it. "What'd you do?" She whispered stroking the opposite ear now.

"Just completing the mark." He said, fingering the mark.

"What's the mark?" She asked, pulling his face off from the crook of her neck to meet her eyes.

"The mating mark that claims you mine." He smirked, and rolled over so she was on top.

Pulling the white under-haori material back, he revealed some of his flesh to her. "Now mark me with your canines. I know you have them. I've seen them before. Bite down as hard as you can so you can draw blood. Right here." He tapped the spot with his pointer finger and motioned her to bite.

She nodded and bit down as hard as she could, closing her eyes. He hissed, but it soon subsided. "Now bite you own lip to draw your own blood." He instructed.

She did as she was told and a small tear formed in her eyes, as she felt the pain. But she reached down to the bleeding mark and mixed her blood with his. She gasped when it started to glow the same reddish color but he nodded that it was okay.

"Now you're officially mine." She grinned childishly and hugged him, surprising him.

Inuyasha took the small string from his haori to tie it around her waist. It was big, but at least it went down to her knees. "Let's go bathe." He took her hand and helped her stand up.

"Okay. I can walk." She said, and walked with him, limping a little bit. He opened the shoji screen and felt the warm spring air cling to his body. She put on a pair of zori that were left behind the screen onto her feet.

When she put her head up again, she noticed Sango sitting with Kirara at the edge of the porch type area. "Kagome-chan?" She questioned, standing up. Kagome's eyes widened in surprise and panic and tried to think of a reasonable excuse for her.

"Why did you leave last night? Where did you go?" Sango asked her suspiciously, eyeing her surprisingly magenta colored face.

"Uh. I. We.. Um." She started, but reddened even more. Sango then saw their hands linked together. "Oh! Never mind about it. I'll see you at breakfast!" Sango ran back into the room and they heard Miroku's voice down in the hallway.

"Let's go." She whispered and he picked her up and sped to the outdoor hot spring. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, how'd it go? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to start so many stories at once. I mean like, I made plans but I'm starting SO many stories at once so it's confusing! So, I might not update for maybe two weeks to maybe three weeks. Okay? So read my other stories.
