Inuyasha's POV

We stood there, my arms wrapped her around her, for heaven knows how long, our lips pressed and moving together before I pulled back, happiness written all over Kagome and I's faces. Just then I took her hand, leading her over to everyone else. The first person to jump to Kagome was Shippo, who flew into her arms, hugging her tightly like I had once I got her out of the well. "Momma Kagome!" All of our eyes widened.

"What?!" I as well as everyone else asked.

"Well... Kagome always treats me like a mother treats her child, so I..." Kagome laughed and gave Shippo a kiss on the cheek, like a mother would. Shippo blushed and smiled at Kagome.

"I don't have a problem with it." Kagome said. "I think with how young you are that it's only natural that he would look for someone to be a parental figure for him." She looked at me. "Why not Inuyasha? He already is like an adopted son to me." I didn't see a problem so I shrugged.

"Why not. So long as the pip-squeak keeps up with his training."

"What training Shippo?" Kagome asked, looking at Shippo.

"Oh right, I'm training to become a full-fledged fox demon like my father." Kagome's eyes widened and she high-fived him.

"That's really great Shippo." She said, Shippo climbing onto her back so she could hug Sango, Miroku, and to meet their children. When Kagome was able to hold their son, Ichiro, she held him in her arms, cradling him, rocking him gently back and forth, and I smiled. Just from this right now I could tell that Kagome definitely had the motherly characteristic in her and if we ever have pups in the future, I knew that she would be a fantastic mother. The rest of the day had gone just as smoothly and now it was nighttime and Shippo had agreed to stay at Sango and Miroku's hut to allow me alone time with Kagome. As Kagome and I had finished cooking the fish outside above a fire, I looked up into the sunset. "So, it's supposed to be a new moon tonight." Kagome said. "I guess I chose a great day to test the well again." I chuckled and turned to look at her, taking her hands into mine.

"Kagome..." I whispered, my voice filled with happiness. She turned to look at me, her eyes glazed over.

"Inuyasha..." She said, almost the same as me, as if we were in a trance with each other as we sat by the fire.

"Um... Kagome, I have something to talk to you about?" I said, just as the sun went down and my transformation into my human half. Kagome smiled and leaned in towards me a little closer, I guess to hear me better. "I... well... I missed you very much while you were gone. So much in fact that I would sleep in the bottom of the well, waiting for you to come back. To be honest, that kiss meant a lot that I gave you earlier and I want you to know that I love you... I know sounds crazy right? But it's true." Kagome looked at me, her eyes wide.

"Well, I had the same feelings Inuyasha. I realized them a long, long time ago, even before we kissed in the darkness with the Shikon Jewel. I knew that you were the only one for me, no matter how many times my friend Hojo asked me out on a date, I knew it was you. You were the one who I could talk to and really understand and at the same time still don't understand. I love you as well... Just before I never knew if you would have accepted me because... because of the love you had for Kikyo." I closed my eyes and took in a breath and then I took her face in my hands.

"Kagome, Kikyo is a thing of the past to me. You are the only importance of my life and I wouldn't want it any other way. You're beautiful, kind, sweet, and definitely hard for me to figure out, but I want to get to know those things, I want to figure you out more." As soon as I finished saying this, Kagome leaned forwards and pressed her lips to mine. This was the first time a woman had ever first kissed me. Kagome's lips were gentle, soft, smooth, and passionately warm. And her scent of roses, wildflowers, and pineapple enveloped us as I wrapped my arms around her body, pulling her closer to me as her hands entangled themselves in my hair, rubbing my scalp as our lips feverishly moved together.

This also was the first time I had ever kissed any woman like this, and she would be the only woman I would ever kiss like this. With my claws temporarily being gone I could be free to move my hands how I wanted and I began rubbing the middle of her back as her hands continued to massage my scalp. We were breathing through our noses, so we wouldn't have to separate our lips sooner than we wanted to. When her lips moved away from mine for a split second I opened my eyes for a moment, long enough to moan, "Oh Kagome." Lovingly in her ear as I leaned closer, bringing my lips to just under her jawbone, kissing here there and suckling on the skin, earning myself a pleasured moan from Kagome. What I was doing much have been right because her reaction was well worth it.

"Oh Inuyasha..." She moaned quietly, running her nails gently down my back while keeping a grip on me until she loosened her grip enough to allow me to get back to her delicious lips, but she moved out of the way of my lips to my neck and was doing the exact same to me and at that moment I could see why she moaned. It felt so erotic, but it was so simple of a thing to do. Once she had finished her revenge on my neck she looked up at me, smiling as I took her face in between my two hands, leaning into her lips once again. Without me realizing what she was doing her tongue moved out and swept across my bottom lips and my mouth acted on instinct, opening a little, and once they had enough room she moved her tongue into my mouth, fighting my tongue for what seemed to be dominance and I didn't want to lose that battle.

Our tongues moved together as our lips did and it was at that moment that I could feel my transformation about to begin from my human side to my half dog demon body and I took Kagome's face in mine, moved my face back, kissed her passionately for a moment before I gave her one last kiss on her cheek and when she opened her eyes again I was back into my original form. She took a deep breath and smiled at me, using her thumb to swipe gently across her bottom lip. "Inuyasha... that... that was incredible." She blushed and I smiled at her, my body feeling at ease as I stood up slowly, bringing her up with me and taking her into my hut for us to lay down together. When we laid down, I first pulled off the top of my robes, only my chest being exposed. I laid on my back, looking up at the ceiling, thinking about how much that moment had meant to me. And Kagome and moved close to me so her head could rest on my chest, planting one last kiss on my now bare chest, causing me to shiver a little. "Inuyasha... next time, I would like to kiss you like that in your half demon form. I want to show all of the real you how much I love you, not just a half of you, I want to show all of your parts that I am truly in love with you." She said, before falling asleep and I chuckled.

"I would like that..." I said, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I love you." I could see the smile on her lips as she said, "I love you too."
