"OH SCREW THIS!" He shouted before landing. Inuyasha took Kagome closer to him and quickly crushed his lips onto hers.
Kagome's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden contact. Every nerve in her body shut down, nothing was responding. In fact, deep somewhere in her mind, she still debated whether this was actually happening or not.
Having recived no response, Inuyasha loosened his hold on her and backed away a step. His ears dropped and a dejected look washed over his face. 'What was I thinking?! I just ruinned everything! Now she's probably gonna regret coming back, and she'll never talk to me gain. Damn it all, I'm such an id-"
His mental beatin was cut off when suddenly he felt Kagome's lips on his and her arms around his neck. 'She...she...' Nope, it would seem his mind wasn't working. All he could do was wrap his arms around her waist and pull her closer. Inuyasha slowly pulled back to see Kagome smiling up at him.
"What took you so long?"
Inuyasha could still only stare at her, not being able to beleive what just happened. Another, closer, crash jolted Inuyasha back to reality. He spun around to see the ogre demon leader right behind them. "F*** this, I've had enough!!" He shouted before jumping at it, Tessaiga raised. "Meido Zangetsuha!" The face of the sword turned black just as cresent moon shaped Meidos flew from it, taking out huge chunks of all the demons around them. What was left of the bodies fell to the forest floor with thundrous crashes.
"Inuyasha! Kagome!" A high, childish voice called out to them. The two looked to the ground and saw Miroku, Sango, Kilala and Shippou running towards them from deeper in the forest. Inuyasha lifted Kagome then jumped to the ground, landing just as they came to them. Shippou automaticaly jumped into Kagome's arms. "We were worried!" He cried.
"Keh, there was nothing to be worried about runt. They weren't all THAT tough." Inuyasha grumbled.
"In any case, we should probably dispose of the corpes and then head back to that village, if only to tell them of the demons' defeat." Miroku suggested.
"The sooner we get it over with, the better." Inuyasha stated bitterly.

The group stood at the gates of the village, facing the headman and the large crowd behind him. Inuyasha waited a little further back than the rest of them, having no desire what-so-ever to go near that 'god foresaken place', as he refered to it.
"Thank you for your kindness, ladies and gentleman. If it were not for you, I fear our village would have been destroyed next."
"It was really Inuyasha who finished them off in the end." Kagome said.
The headman shot a disgusted glance at said Hanyou. "Yes, somehow I doubt that. You know, I find it odd that a respectable monk, preistess and demonslayer would find company in such a filthy creature."
Kagome stepped forward. "Inuyasha is no filthy creature. I trust him with my life, as do Sango and Miroku." She said, gesturing to them. They both nodded in agreement.
"Be that as it may, it is a shame that such a fine young woman be wasted in IT'S company." The man took a step towards Kagome.
"Who I acompany in none of your conern." Kagome said sharply.
"But I am concerned. A beauty such as yourself would find a much happier life in this village." He smirked sickly, taking Kagome's hand in his. Kagome was about to yank away and Miroku and Sango were about to intevien when Inuyasha beat them to it. In an instant, he had yanked the man's grip off of Kagome's hand and was standing between them.
"Don't you dare lay your disgusting hands of her." He growled.
"The same should be said to you Half-Breed! Why I have never been so insulted!" The headman raged.
Kagome took Inuyasha's hand and after giving one last glare to the village, they walked off , leaving jaws to drop.
"You will regret choosing that Half-Breed Lady Preistess! One day, you'll see him for what he is and come crawling back to us!" The elderly man called out to them.
Kagome suddenly got a mishevious look in her eyes. She stopped and turned around to the face the village. Then, sending them a defiant smirk, she pulled Inuyasha down and kissed him tenderly. Inuyasha, surprised at first, got what she was doing and then pulled her closer.
Meanwhile, a little further back, Miroku and Sango watched with amused looks on thier faces while Miroku covered Shippou's eyes, despite his struggling. "I knew it was only a matter of time." The monk chuckled.

Where else would she find him, other than in his favourite tree? Kagome smiled when she saw the silver haired hanyou lounging on one of the thicker branches, gazing up at the staryy sky. So, she started climbing, which was considerably harder in her miko clothes. She grabbed onto whatever she could use and hefted herself up to sit next to Inuyasha. A long, but comfortable, silence flowed between them.
"Hey, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, with a smirk in her voice.
"Yeah?" He answered, pretending not to care as he always did.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"You kissed me."
"Keh."
She turned to him and playfully poked his shoulder. "You kissed me twice."
"Keh." He turned to her aswell. "So, how's that wound?" He asked, giving her a concerned glaze.
"It's already almost finished healing. I'm getting a lot better at making herbal potions." She smiled as she leaned into him and sighed. "You know, this reminds me of the last time we were up here, after we were trapped in that demon's belly and you used the jewel shards to get us out." She said.
"Yeah...you really had me scared that time, when you collapsed. "
"Hm, guess the 'no good wench' still can't do anything right, huh?" She laughed bitterly.
"That's not true!" Inuyasha shouted. "You've really grown since we first met...and if I could, I'd go back and change all the nasty things I've said."
"Inuyasha..." She started with a blush. "You have no idea how much that means to me...but I don't think I'd want you to. You see, all that we've been through, all that we've put each other through...it's what put us here today. It's what lead me to...fall in love with you, Inuyasha."
"Kagome...I-" He quickly wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "I...I love you too. Kagome, I want to be with you forever," He whispered into her hair. He pulled up and looked deep into her gorgeous brown eyes which held more love and devotion than he ever thought possible. "Marry me, Kagome?"
Kagome leaned up and kissed him passiontaly. "Yes." She whispered on his lips.
When they pulled away, Inuyasha smirked. "Damn, that was easier than I thought it would be."
Kagome laughed lightly, then leaned into his chest. "Same here."

It'd been a week since thier return to the village and Inuyasha and Kagome's engagement. The couple had told thier friends a few days ago. Of course, they were all ecstatic but.... Miroku wouldn't shut up with the perverted comments.
Kagome now sat under the shade of The Sacred Tree, warmed by th early summer breeze, picking herbs. She looked up at the tree and sighed. It reminded her of the times she played under this same tree as a child. 'I wonder what my family is doing right now...' She thought.
Next thing she knew, she stood up, leaving her basket on the ground, and started walking. She soon found herself by the well. The miko sat down in front of it, resting her arms on the edge and her head on her arms. She sighed "Inuyasha, I know you're there."
Surely enough, the hanyou lept out of the forest, landing right beside her. "What're you doing?"
Kagome looked up at him with pleading eyes. "I...want to try something."
Of course, he knew what she ment. He knelt down and placed his arms around her."Kagome, it's too risky. We don't know what'll happen if you summon the jewel's power. Sure, having the power has made you stronger, but something like this....I can't lose you again."
"Inuyasha...please just trust me. I KNOW I can do it. You just have to let me try."
Inuyasha sighed. "Alright, but if something happens, I'm stopping it."
"Mhm." Kagome nodded before standing up. Inuyasha backed a few steps away. She stood over the well and placed a hands on the rim. 'Please Shikon No Tama, lend me your power. Re-open the well so that who ever I choose may pass through.' She prayed. Kagome started to glow a brilliant white light, a non-existent wind played with her raven locks of hair. Seconds later, the bottom of the well started to shine it's famous blue light. Though her eyes were closed and she was pretty much out-of-boddy, a pain look came over Kagome's face.
'She's pushing herselfe too hard!' Inuyasha though in a panic. "Kagome! That's enough, it's worked!" He shouted, grabbing hold of her wrist and ignoring in burning sensation that came from the contact. Kagome's eyes snapped open, the light immediatly dissapearing. She fell to her knees, gasping for breath, but other than that she seemed alright.
"I did it..." She smiled to herself. She looked up at Inuyasha and simply beamed. Inuyasha returned it, then picked her up bridal style and jumped in. The blue light surrounded them as they travelled 500 years into the future. Once they reached the bottom, still carrying his fiance, Inuyasha jumped out. Kagome excitedly jumped out of his arms and puled back the sliding door of the Well House. She immediatly saw her mother sweeping in front of the shed.
"Mom!" Kagome cried, running into her arms.
"Kagome!" Her mother exclaimed in surprise. "Sweety, I though you were never coming back." She laughed lightly, glad to be holding her baby girl again.
"I could never leave you forever Mom. I was just afraid that the well wouldn't work."
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "Well, let's go inside. I'll make you some tea. You too Inuyasha!"
The trio sat down in the dining room, Mrs. Higurashi leaving breifly to make some tea for Kagome and herself. Once she sat back down, she left no time for a pause. "Oh Kagome, I'm so happy that the well is working again. Just wait until-"
"Mom! I'm home!" A voice called from the foyer.
"In here sweety! I have a suprise for you!" She called, flashing a smile at Kagome and Inuyasha.
Footsteps drew closer and closer to the small dining room until a tall young man in a middle-school uniform appeared in the doorway. He stopped in his tracks. "Kagome!!" He shouted, rushing over to hug is big sister.
"That you squirt?" Inuyasha asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Inuyasha! How've you been?" Sota asked the guy who was his childhood hero (and secretly still is).
"Good, I guess" The hanyou answered simply, stuffing his hands into the sleeves of his haori.
Not long after that, Grampa joined the little reunion after coming home from playing poker with his buddies. Now, you may be wondering, "Kagome had been gone from home in the Fuedal Era longer than this before. What's the deal with the mini-party?". Well, think about it. When Kagome left, it was so sudden and the well had been dormant for three years. Her family must've thought she'd be gone forever, which as you can see, was not the case.
"Uh, Mama, Grandpa, Sota, Inuyasha and I have a...surprise." She said nervously, placing her hand on Inuyasha's arm.
"Actually, we have a bit of a surprise for you too. In fact he should be home right about-"
"I'm home!" a deeper male voice called from the front door.
'I know that voice.' Kagome thought. She bolted up and ran towards the door. Surely enough, the man she expected stood, looking just as surprised as she did.
"Daddy!" She squeeled, jumping into his arms.
"Kagome! What are you doing here?! You're mother told me you had moved to America for University!" He exclaimed.
"Well uh...that can be explain later. But what are YOU doing here?!" She asked.
"Well, my company transfered me back here from france. I'm here to stay now."
"Oh that's so great!" She said....
Before passing out.
