He woke up to find himself in a strange place with only his father and half brother around. He tried to sit up, but felt too dizzy. His father rounded on him as soon as he heard the rustling of the bed covers.

" Inuyasha?"

" Dad, what the hell happened?"

" Apparently, a library assistant found you passed out in the magic and training section of the library. What were you doing in the library anyway? I wasn't under the impression you could read a complex book."

" Dad, before Mom died, I had all these funny dreams, not ha ha funny, but weird funny, and they always had mom dying in them, exactly how she died. And I'm having those again about Kagome. I was trying to find a way to stop the dreams or protect Kagome."

" This bodes mating. You see, when you find someone you want to mate with, you begin to protect them more than the average girlfriend. As for the dreams, I don't know how to fix them. You'll have to figure out what they mean."

InuYasha groaned and then he smiled as he saw Kagome looking very shy, step into the room. She walked up to him and shooed InuTaisho off his chair so she could sit by him.

" Dad, could you and Sesshomaru go away for a little bit. I need to talk to Kagome."

They moved out of the room. Kagome looked at him with wide eyes.

" Why? Why is this happening. What's causing you to get sick?"

" I just have been overworking. Nothing too bad that I can't handle."

" Is this still about those stupid dreams?"

" Yes! I won't let them become real! Right now, they are only dreams, but every minute that I'm not there to protect you, I wonder if my dreams are coming true. I just won't have it. I will NOT lose you!"

" They're just dreams! Figments of your imagination! I'm not going to die on you," her voice suddenly growing lower, " I promise you InuYasha."

" I'm going to protect you. I am not strong enough to protect you. But I will be."

" You can protect me from anything, Just the way you are."

He wasn't convinced of his abilities. He sighed as she wrapped her arms around him.

" InuYasha, I do understand."

What scares me is that, even with my half demon state, I might not be able to protect the one I love's wife. That scares the hell outta me. He thought as her grip around him tightened. He decided that he should probably let her get home, she probably had medicine to take for her leg and ankle. The doctors were surprised to find that her bones were healing at an extreme rate and she was expected to have her cast off next week. He told her this, and she looked at him, annoyed, but decided that she did have some things left to do.

He called a jewelry place and told them he needed to get a ring. He decided that when the year ended, he was NOT letting her go. He wanted to make sure she was near him, wherever they went. He didn't want to lose her. He'd have to make it soon, before she got away.

Two Days Later

He had a ring picked out. Today was the day. He was going to propose at dinner. He had made the arrangements, called her mom to ask for Kagome's hand, and got her a single blue rose, a very, VERY, rare flower which he'd obtained after paying 100,000 dollars. Expensive yes, but his dad was like worth 10.2 billion dollars, so that was like 20 bucks out of his wallet.

At 7:00, he was in the restaurant, dressed, rose on her plate, sparkling cider chilling in a bucket. She came in the restaurant, freely walking, as she had gotten her cast off that very morning. Her hair was curled and she was wearing a light blue sparkly gown that showed off her perfect body. She was wearing gold heels. She sat down, and suddenly saw the rose.

" Oh my GOD! How did you….where did you….?"

" It was nothing. Just…..a small token of my love for you."

" oh InuYasha."

She leaned in and kissed him. He pulled away, much too soon in Kagome's opinion.

" Um, Kagome…..I've had something on my mind all week, and I think I should tell you now."

" What is it?"

" Well," He took down on one knee, " Kagome Lee Higurashi-Kakashi, will you marry me?"

" Oh my……Yes! Oh My God Yes!"

He kissed her, while she was crying freely and open. He deepened the kiss further than she ever imagined anyone could deepen a kiss. As they broke apart, the waiter was bringing them their meal. They ate, while Kagome regained her composure.

" Just so we're clear, you asked my mom before you asked me right. I mean, ever since my dad died, it has become so important that she gets asked for my hand."

" Yes I did. And she approves."

The dinner became quiet after they had shared a couple more quick kisses. He drove her home, but went inside to share the news with her family. Her grandfather, of course, was very objective. Mrs. Higurashi calmed him and hugged InuYasha, welcoming him to the family. He decided that he should probably go home to talk to his family. Or at least his father, Sesshomaru could keep his nose out of it.

" Dad, we need to talk. You see, I was with Kagome tonight and well, I proposed. I thought you'd want to know."

" Is this fueled by the fact that you think she's going to die when you can't save her?"

" No, I love her. And she's the one, I can feel it. In fact, she and I have this theory about why we're together. We're descendants of the people in that old feudal Japan story and we think we're here to fix their mistakes. They never fell in love, but we believe we're supposed to."

His dad sighed, then dismissed him from his study. InuYasha called Kagome to say goodnight and wish her sweet dreams and to warn her to stay safe. She sighed and said, " You worry too much Inu." Then she said goodnight and hung up. She then went to sleep. She needed to wake up early to go get her hair done. This time she was going to dye her hair back to black and then have a silver fringe. ( A/N: That is my hair, and I love it so much that I want Kagome to have it!) She was also going to cut it, making it shorter.

"Kagome, are you sure it's what you want?"

" Yes, I want something that shocks InuYasha. And I have always loved silver and black as a color combo. "

" Okay."

A Few Hours Later

" Kagome you look marvelous! Damn!"

She left the shop, laughing and feeling very nervous. She had called InuYasha and told him to meet her at her house. She didn't know what he'd say, as her hair was one of his favorite things about her. He didn't get to accustomed to change quickly. He was lucky that she decided to just color it. She decided that the length was perfect. She walked in the door, and walked straight into the family room where he was sitting. He looked up and back down, then quickly jumped up in shock.

" Your hair…it's so…why?"

' I felt like having a change. I saw a girl with hair like this and I really liked it. D-do you like it?"

" Yes, but just give me a couple minutes to take it in. Okay?"

She nodded and let him run his fingers through it. He decided that the color did look extremely pretty on her, making her eyes stand out. He kissed her to show his approval, but then had to dash off as his dad sent him an urgent text message.

Oooh! What will the text message be? IF you want to find out, you simply must tune into the next chapter!

I guess this chapter was kinda fluffy, but I think It'll all be okay once the next chapter is done. I think I need to add a serious chapter. Don't you? Oh and could more of you review? I'm feeling lonely cries
