meowsa-of-DOOM: this story is turning out pretty good so far...now on to the the real attraction!

Chapter 1

"Kagome, I love you." I love you too, InuYasha." "Kagome, will you be my mate?" "Of course I will!" Kagome sat reminiscing the past few weeks that had changed her life. As of 3 weeks, Kagome was InuYasha's mate, and him hers; but something was nagging at the back of her head.

She and InuYasha still hadn't told anyone they were together, not Kagome's family, and not even their friends, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo. They had acted the same as usual around their friends; talking, fighting occasionally, but never any big fights, and in truth, not much had changed except whenever Kagome and InuYasha were alone, they would sneak in a couple kisses and quick hugs. They both knew the other liked it when they snuck in these loving gestures, acknowledging each other as mates.

Suddenly, she heard a rustling, which shook her out of her thoughts. Before she could turn around to see who had walked into the clearing she was in, she felt an arm reach around her neck and hug her from behind. She looked up to see InuYasha looking down at her curiously. "What'cha doin'?" his voice matching his look of curiosity.

"Curiosity killed the cat." She replied, grabbing his arm and pulling it up and over her head and off of her.

"Well, then it's a good thing I'm a dog." He kissed the top of her head and looked back down at her, waiting for an answer to his earlier question.

"I'm just thinking. What are you doing?"

"Wondering what you were thinking of."

"Nothing important; just how cute your ears are." She got up and was about to feel his ears when InuYasha grabbed her arms.

"Just my ears? Anything else?" he had that look in his eyes that meant he was going to kiss her.

"Well, I was also thinking of how much I wanted to kiss you right now." InuYasha let go of her arms and hugged her tight to his chest, while Kagome snaked her newly freed arms around his neck, pulling his head closer until they kissed. They stayed like this for a while, when they heard a gasp from the bushes, but after a while InuYasha declared it nothing and they both resumed where they had left off.

About ten more minutes of kissing, they were both out of breath and started back to the village. When they got there, they walked into the hut like nothing had happened; even so, they were stared at immediately after entering by all their friends. "What's up guys?" Kagome asked, wondering about their friends stares.

It was silent until Miroku finally spoke up, "I so hoped it would be me and Sango before yourself and InuYasha. Oh well; we got to catch up, Sango!" the last part he said while leaning over and puckering his lips.

"Not in your life, Monk!" Sango yelled, slapping him and hitting him hard on the head with Haraikotsu.

"What are you talking about?" InuYasha asked, confused by all the idiocy and forwardness of Miroku.

"What do you think? I saw you kissing Kagome a few minutes ago!" Shippo said, making it sound like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

A huge red blush covered InuYasha's and Kagome's faces. "We weren't kissing! We were talking!" Kagome yelled, trying to trick them.

"I love your way of talking! Hey Sango, you want to talk?" Miroku said, once again turning to Sango and puckering. A loud slap echoed through the hut and the oh-so-familiar red hand mark was plastered upon Miroku's face.

The small hut burst with argument, and everyone seemed to have forgotten Shippo's accusation of InuYasha and Kagome kissing, except InuYasha and Kagome themselves, but they were of course more than happy to let the subject drop.

Later that day, Kagome got bored so she went off to visit Goshinboku, the tree where Kagome and InuYasha had first met, and everything had started. She stood for a while just remembering the first day she came here, when she heard a rustle above her and something dropped from the tree. She felt a finger poke into her back.

"You; get out of my head!" said a familiar voice, and when she turned, she saw InuYasha, still pointing his finger at her. Kagome took hold of his finger, kissed the tip of it lightly, and said, "But I like it in there. It's so warm and inviting."

"You must like it; you're in there all the time."

"All the time?"

"Always." He pulled her closer and kissed her.

"That's good to know. I'm not the only one with someone taking up my whole mind."

"Oh? Who's hogging your head?"

"You." Kagome said, kissing him back.

"Good to know." He replied quickly before they started their kissing spree.

After a while, they both stopped and leaned against the giant tree. "I remember the first day we met, you tried to kill me." Kagome said, laughing quietly.

"I wasn't really planning on killing you; just scaring you a bit."

"No you weren't! I remember exactly what you had said, 'Give me the jewel, or feel the caress of my claws!' you were so planning on killing me."

There was a pause and then InuYasha finally said, "Ya, your right; I was going to kill you."

"InuYasha!" she said, both of them laughing. Kagome shoved InuYasha playfully; annoyed he would give up so easily.

They stayed in the forest until it was dark, completely forgetting their friends back in the village and simply relaxing alone, talking, laughing, and an occasional kiss. Eventually, Kagome grew tired and fell asleep, leaning against InuYasha; InuYasha following her, falling asleep slightly leaning against her, his head resting on top of hers.
