You Are Mine

Chapter 4

"Is she coming," Miroku asked quietly in the waiting room of the hospital as he rested his hand on Sango's shoulder.

"Uh, yeah," Sango said as she stared at her cell phone in shock.

She had just gotten off the phone with Kagome to tell her of Saiya's condition.

"What's the matter, Sango," Miroku asked and Shia looked up from her seat to hear as well.

"She said that Inuyasha was giving her a ride to the hospital."

The elevator doors opened and Kagome rushed out into the lobby of the floor that Sango had told her that they were on. Her eyes scanned frantically and relief washed over her as she spotted Sango and the others.

"Sango, Shia," Kagome called out as she rushed to them, enveloping them both in a tight embrace.

"Kagome, thank the kamis you're here," Shia said as she wiped her red tear-filled eyes.

"What happened? How's Saiya?"

Shia was about to answer when she was interrupted by a deep growl coming from a few feet behind Kagome. Everyone looked behind Kagome to see Inuyasha with his arms crossed and a deep scowl on his face. Kagome glared at him before turning back to her two shocked friends.

"What," Kagome asked in an annoyed voice?

"Nothing," Sango said, "We'll talk about it later. As for Saiya…"

Sango looked over at Shia as a cue for her to continue but Shia shook her head before her eyes began to water once again. Kagome pulled her into a comforting hug as she looked at Sango, waiting her to explain.

"Well," Sango said as tears began to well up in her eyes as well, "We found Saiya outside of school passed out on the ground, and he's weak from so much blood loss. The doctors won't tell us anything. He's been in there for over an hour."

Tears began to flow from Kagome's eyes as well and Sango joined the hug as the three girls cried for the boy they loved so much.

Miroku stood up from his chair and walked over to the still fuming hanyou.

"So what happened," Miroku asked his friend, referring to what had happened after Inuyasha had transformed.

"None of your business, monk," Inuyasha growled out as he continued to watch his new friend cry over another man, "I didn't hurt her if that's what you're asking."

"Maybe so," Miroku replied calmly, "but you did hurt your soon to be mates friend. I have a feeling that might hinder your progress even more."

"No," Inuyasha said smugly, still never taking his eyes off of Kagome, "She agreed to start off as being friends and seeing where we go from there."

Miroku's eyes widened in shock before patting Inuyasha on the back in congrats. Miroku smirked but it soon faded when a young man in a white coat walked over to the three crying girls.

"Miss Sakemotou, I'm doctor Hikami," the young doctor said as he shook Shia's hand, "Your brother is in recovery right now, he had to have a transfusion, but it seems to be going well. We'd like to keep him overnight so we can keep an eye on him."

Shia nodded and wiped her eyes as she gripped both Sango's and Kagome's hands for comfort.

"Thank you, doctor Hikami," Kagome said kindly, "Do you think we could see Saiya now."

Kagome turned around when she heard a threatening growl coming from none other than Inuyasha again. She looked over at him and saw him gesture with one clawed finger for her to come over. Kagome rolled her eyes before turning back to the doctor.

"Excuse me for a moment doctor."

Doctor Hikami nodded as Kagome walked over to Inuyasha. Once she was in front of him, Inuyasha took her hand and led her to the stairwell so that they could talk in private. When the door of the stairwell closed Kagome pulled her hand from Inuyasha's and placed both on her hips.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Inuyasha," Kagome snapped angrily.

"Wrong with me? You're the one who was asking to go see that lover boy of yours! And on top of that, you were flirting with that doctor," Inuyasha growled out.

"I was not flirting with the doctor, Inuyasha," Kagome said truthfully, "And of course I want to see Saiya! He's one of my best friends and he's hurt! Or did you forget, you were the one who hurt him!"

In the blink of an eye Inuyasha had Kagome pushed up against the wall, his hard body molding against her soft and feminine one.

"He deserved it! He was keeping me from you," Inuyasha growled out angrily as his claws lightly dug into Kagome's hips, "he needed to be shown who had claim on you."

"You have no claim on me, Inuyasha Takahashi," Kagome gritted out bitterly, "No one has claim on me! We are friends. If you want me to consider being your mate then you need to let us be friends first."

Inuyasha growled and he nuzzled his cheek against Kagome's. She shivered but did nothing to stop him. Though his growling was threatening his act was gentle and loving.

"You don't know how hard it is," Inuyasha mumbled into Kagome's neck, " to see you almost every day and not being able to hold you in my arms. I lie awake almost every night, wishing that I could have you lying next to me. Kagome you are my mate, even if we are not yet bound together. You are my mate and it's killing me not being able to be with you."

Kagome gasped. Why was he saying these things? Why was he making everything so hard? She couldn't help but feel guilt well up inside her. Did he really feel all these things? Was he really dying without her? Or was he just saying what he thought she wanted to hear to get into her pants?

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered desperately.

Inuyasha pulled his head back to look into Kagome's eyes and she couldn't help but melt under his desperate gaze. This was just too much, his words were so sweet and his eyes told her that it was true, but her mind told her that it wasn't real. That if she believed him than she would just be fooled and wind up being hurt again. She couldn't go through that again. She wouldn't be able to survive that kind of pain again.

Inuyasha's head ducked down again so that their foreheads were touching, their lips only centimeters apart. Inuyasha growled in pleasure as his breath mingled with hers and he picked up on the faint scent of her arousal. This was how it was meant to be, the scent of her arousal mixed with his, their breath intertwined. Sharing one breath and one desire.

"Hey you two, the doctor says Saiya can see visitors….woah."

Inuyasha and Kagome looked up at the top of the stairwell to see Miroku leaning over the railing, looking down at them with a lecherous look on his face. Kagome pushed against Inuyasha and he let her go as he sent a death glare in Miroku's direction telling him that he would pay for interrupting later. Miroku's grin left him and he quickly left the stairwell to go back into the waiting room.

Once left alone Inuyasha looked back at Kagome. She was straightening her shirt, which had been wrinkled, and had her head down, unsuccessfully trying to hide her massive blush.

"Kagome," Inuyasha said, causing Kagome to lift her head up so that their eyes met.

"Well, we better get up there," Kagome smiled, "I want to see how Saiya's doing."

Inuyasha stifled his growl and nodded his head before gesturing for Kagome to walk ahead of them. Kagome began making her way up the stairs but turned when she noticed that Inuyasha wasn't following.

"Are you coming," Kagome asked?

"I'll uh be up in a minute. I need to go to the bathroom first."

Kagome tilted her head in confusion until she noticed the bulge in the front of his pants.

"Oh," Kagome blushed, "Ok, well um, I'll meet you back in the waiting room."

Inuyasha nodded before heading down the stairs to where he remembered seeing a sign for a bathroom and Kagome headed up to the next landing to go up with her friends.

Kagome walked into the room that the doctor had told them that Saiya was in. Miroku held open the door for the girls and when Kagome walked by him he still held his lecherous grin, making Kagome blush. Sango saw this and wondered what Miroku had seen in the stairwell.

Kagome looked up when she was fully in the room to see a sight that made her want to cry. There, lying in the bed that was the center of the small white room was one of her best friends, the boy that was like a brother to her, who had always protected her, was deathly pale.

His jet black hair was damp from perspiration and was clinging to his forehead. Dark circles surrounded his sunken in eyes. An IV was going into his arm and machines beside his bed were making beeping sounds that sickly reminded Kagome of doctor shows that always had something go wrong.

Shia rushed to her brother's bedside and kneeled on the floor, her hand lightly gripping his. Her normally bubbly personality was gone as she watched her only living relative slowly deteriorate.

Saiya's crystal blue eyes opened and turned to his sister. He gave her an encouraging smile and gently squeezed her hand. Shia smiled back as tears streamed down her baby round cheeks. Saiya's next looked over to Miroku and Sango, who were standing together near the window, Miroku for once not trying to grope her.

"Tha…thank, you," he said weakly, remembering vaguely, from those few moments he had slipped into consciousness, that they had helped him.

Sango nodded, tears coming down her eyes as well. Saiya was like and older brother for her as well, and she couldn't imagine her life without him. He had been the one person who had always kept the girls together. When the girls used to have those rare fights that all girls had, Saiya was the one who could always solve everything and repair any damage the girls would create.

"No problem man, you just work on getting better," Miroku said, flashing a charming grin that had Sango melting.

Saiya eyed Miroku suspiciously, not trusting him just yet. He knew of the houshi's reputation with the ladies and until he gained his trust, the lecher was going near Sango. Saiya sighed, deciding that he would deal with that problem later, when he had the strength to beat the crap out of the monk. His gaze lastly fell on Kagome.

Saiya's hard expression melted when he saw her warm brown eyes sparkling with tears she was shedding for him. He smiled lovingly and patted the bed beside him, and she smiled through her tears as well and slowly made her way to sit beside him.

"Hey," Saiya said through his chapped lips.

"Hey," Kagome replied back meekly.

Saiya's eyes searched Kagome's, silently asking her if she was alright, if everything was okay. Kagome nodded and smiled before brushing back a clump of hair that clung to his forehead with her delicate hand. Saiya smiled but in his eyes there was a look that warned her that she would have to go into detail later.

Kagome sighed. How was she going to be able to explain to Saiya everything that had happened in the past few hours? Saiya disapproved of Inuyasha and had spent four years "protecting" her from the possessive hanyou. Now what could she tell him?

'Oh yeah, Saiya, by the way, I'm willing to become friends with Inuyasha because I realize I want to give him a chance. So those four years you spent, and this hospital trip, was a total waste of time. Oh yeah,' Kagome thought sarcastically, 'that will go over well.'

Inuyasha walked out of the bathroom, his hands in the pocket of his jeans, and he made his way back to the stairwell to find Saiya's room, and more importantly, Kagome.

He couldn't believe it, he had almost taken advantage of her and she forgave him and was willing to give him a chance! She was an angel, HIS angel. He would do everything in his power to make sure that her decision was easy, so in the end she would run into his waiting arms. He would dote on her and give her everything she wanted, just like he would once they were finally bound. His woman would want for nothing.

Inuyasha made his way into the lobby and walked towards the room he recalled hearing that Saiya was in. Inuyasha growled just hearing that name in his own thoughts. That bothersome human had been in his way since day one. The first day of freshman year Saiya had been the boy that had Kagome on his lap. He refused to allow Kagome to mate with him and Inuyasha knew that for some odd reason, that boy's opinion mattered to her dearly.

'I can't wait to see the look on that son of a bitch's face when he hears that Kagome is giving me a chance,' Inuyasha smirked confidently, imagining the boy's shocked and angry expression.

Inuyasha opened the door to Saiya's room and walked in to see a sight that angered him too much for him to possibly contain his growl. Inuyasha's demon side was pulsing with anger and was dying to be released.

'Mate too close to another male,' was the only thing that went through Inuyasha's mind at the moment.

Kagome was sitting on Saiya's bed and was gently stroking the hand that didn't have an IV stuck in it. She looked up when she heard an all too familiar growl and she glared at the hanyou. Saiya's head turned as well and his eyes narrowed menacingly, or as menacingly he could manage in his weakened state.

"Wh…What the hell is he doing here," Saiya said in a weak and tired voice.

"Uh, well, you see," Kagome began before Inuyasha cut her off.

"Who do you think was the one that brought Kagome here," Inuyasha snarled in an arrogant voice.

Saiya's eyes widened and he turned his gaze to Kagome. She lowered her head, her bangs covering her face so that he couldn't read the truth in her eyes in response to what Inuyasha had said.

"Saiya, calm down before you hurt yourself even more," Shia said just as one of the nurses walked into the room.

"I'm sorry, but visitation hours are over. Miss Sakemotou, you may stay with your brother but I have to ask the others to leave."

Everyone nodded and the nurse left as everyone went to say there goodbye's.

"We'll come see you tomorrow," Kagome said meekly, still not looking Saiya in the eyes.

Sango nodded, "Get better, Sai."

"Hope you feel better," Miroku said as he went to stand next to his silent sulking best friend.

Saiya nodded to them all, not really looking at him. The three girls could see the spasm in his strong clenched jaw and knew he was trying to control his anger.

Shia stood up and went to hug both Kagome and Sango before the two girls left the room, following after the two boys. Once the fours teens were out in the hall there was an awkward silence as they stood outside of Saiya's closed door.

"Sango, I can give you a ride home if you want," Miroku asked nicely, praying that she wouldn't turn him down.

Sango blushed and looked over to Kagome, asking for silent advice from her best friend. Kagome smiled in approval, resulting on a smile appearing on the taijiya's stained face as well. Sango turned back toward Miroku, who had a hopeful look in his eyes.

"I would appreciate it Houshi-sama, thank you," Sango said in a shy voice as she looked down at her shoes.

Miroku's mouth broke out into a huge grin and he offered his arm for Sango, which she took, while blushing even more if that were possible. As the two were walking away, Sango looked back to Kagome and sent her a look warning her that she wasn't off the hook and would have to tell her everything that had happened with her and Inuyasha.

In return Kagome sent her a look that said that she would tell, but that Sango would have to tell what happened with her and Miroku after he took her home. Sango smiled and turned to face forward again when she entered the elevator with Miroku.

When the elevator doors shut and she could no longer see her best friend, Kagome became vaguely aware that she was once again alone with Inuyasha. Kagome looked over to the hanyou to see him watching her with a hungry expression on his face. The look sent chills running up and down her spine. Why did he have to do that? Go from total jerk, to sweet and charming, to deadly sexy, and back through the cycle again.

Kagome turned her gaze away and tried to control her blush and the rush of desire that was flowing through her.

"Um, can you give me a ride home, Inuyasha," Kagome asked shyly as she shuffled from foot to foot?

Inuyasha. Calling him by his first name should feel alien to her, considering she just recently decided to become familiar with him, but it didn't. It just felt so natural calling him by his first name. It felt so right, as if she had been calling him by his first name all her life.

'Of course it feels right,' the voce in Kagome's head responded as if it was the clearest thing in the world, 'He's your life's mate, your soul mate.'

Kagome's blush grew and she tried her hardest to stomp that little voice way deep down.

Inuyasha was also thinking along the same thoughts. Kagome was finally calling him by his first name, being familiar with him. Just hearing his name from her perfect lips was enough to drive him over the edge.

'Of course, I much rather hear her moaning or screaming my name in pleasure as she lies beneath me,' Inuyasha thought as he began to conjure up his usual erotic fantasies about him and his raven haired beauty.

He snapped himself out of his thoughts, not needing another hard on that he would have to deal with himself though he much rather have his soon to be yet reluctant mate help him with it. But since that didn't seem like it was going to happen today, then Inuyasha would just have to remain calm and try his hardest not to get turned on.

'Oh yeah that'll be easy,' Inuyasha thought sarcastically, 'considering that everything about my bitch turns me on.'

Kagome continued to look at the ground, waiting for a few moments for a response to her question. A gasp escaped her when she felt her hand being taken in Inuyasha's larger clawed one and her head shot up to see the he was now standing closer to her, their faces now only inches apart.

Inuyasha slowly brought Kagome's hand up to his mouth as his full lips brushed it in a loving way that Kagome had always dreamed about, even when she was a young girl. She had always been envious of the girl's in fairytales who would be romanced by sweet and charming men and Kagome had always dreamed of finding her own prince charming. From this simple act Kagome's mind began to wonder if Inuyasha could be that prince charming.

"Of course I will take you home. Ask and you shall receive," Inuyasha whispered huskily as he lowered Kagome's hand, his eyes watching hers the entire time.

Kagome blushed and looked down at her feet, mumbling a shy thank you. The two then began to make their way to the elevator, side by side when the door to Saiya's room opened and Shia stepped out.

"Oh, good, your still here," Shia said as she walked up to the two who had stopped and turned to her, "Inuyasha do you mind if I talk to you privately for a moment?"

Inuyasha was about to rudely say no when he looked over to Kagome. Her eyes silently asked for him to talk to her dear friend.

"Feh," Inuyasha grumbled, "Fine. Kagome go wait in the car."

Inuyasha tossed Kagome the keys to his Viper. Kagome nodded and went to leave, but not before seeing the smile on Shia's face and the look that told her that she had to tell her everything later. Kagome sighed, looked like she would be up late into the night on three-way call talking. She would need a nap.

Once the elevator closed behind Kagome and Inuyasha turned back to Shia after watching Kagome, the girl began to speak her mind.

"Inuyasha, I want you to know that while I'm upset that my brother is hurt, I'm not angry at you for hurting him," Shia said warmly.

"Feh, it's not like I care if you liked it or not. He needed to be shown his place and that it's not between me and Kagome," Inuyasha said gruffly.

Shia nodded in agreement, "I agree. You'll have to forgive Saiya, he's just so protective over Sango, Kagome, and I. He doesn't always think rationally. Also, I think he knows something about Kagome that even Sango and I don't know. I'm not quite sure why my brother knows but not Sango and I, but I think it's pretty important and I have feeling it influences her response to you wanting to have her as you mate greatly."

Inuyasha looked at the small girl questioningly. Sango and Shia didn't know the secret, but Saiya did? That didn't make sense. He knew that his woman was extremely close with the two girls and had been for a long time. What was plaguing his mate? It had to be big if it had kept her refusing him for almost four years now. Inuyasha tucked away this new bit of information to be brought up for use again in the future.

Right now all he wanted to do was leave this place. The stench was starting to overwhelm him and he didn't know how much longer he could stand it. He also wanted to get back to Kagome as soon as possible. He hated the thought of leaving her alone for long.

"Are we done here? I promised I'd take the wench home and she's waiting for me," Inuyasha said grudgingly, but deep down was just anxious to get back to his woman.

"Yes," Shia smiled, "I'll see you around. Oh and before I forget, good luck with Kagome. Come to me and Sango if you ever need help sweeping her off her feet."

Shia winked before turning back to go into her brother's room. Inuyasha couldn't help but smile before bolting off towards the stairwell to head down to Kagome. It was good to know that he had allies in his fight to win over Kagome and make her his mate.

Inuyasha opened the car door and slipped in, already noticing that Kagome had put the keys in egnition for him. He started the car and quickly glanced over to see Kagome looking at him questioningly.

"What are you looking at," Inuyasha asked as he pulled out of the hospital's parking garage and into the busy streets of Tokyo.

"What did Shia talk to you about," Kagome asked nonchalantly, wanting to seem as if it didn't matter to her.

Inuyasha smirked, 'You can't hide anything from me, mate. You'll learn that soon enough.'

"Nothing important, Wench," Inuyasha responded gruffly as he weaved through traffic.

Flames erupted in Kagome's eyes. Who the hell did he think he is?

"Why the hell are you calling me wench," Kagome asked angrily, 'If you want me to be your mate, then why to you keep insulting me? Cause I can tell you, that will not win you points, Dog Boy."

Inuyasha pulled up in front of the shrine and cut the engine, while Kagome quickly wondered how he knew where she lived. She tucked away that thought for a later discussion with the hanyou.

While Kagome wasn't paying attention, Inuyasha leaned over the seat of the car to so that his face was only an inch or so away from hers. He gently brushed his hand across her cheek and held it there, bringing Kagome out of her dream world.

"Inuyasha…"

"Kagome, I don't mean to offend you. I would never want to hurt you in any way. When I call you wench or bitch those are terms of endearment that dog demon's use for their mated. I apologize for insulting you," Inuyasha said sincerely as he gazed into Kagome's warm brown eyes.

Kagome swallowed nervously and nodding slightly, not loosing Inuyasha's hand on her cheek.

"Okay," Kagome whispered, not really knowing what to say.

Inuyasha smiled and brushed back a tendril of her raven hair that had fallen into her face. Kagome shyly smiled back and Inuyasha felt like he could fly. She was smiling for him, because of him. He had never seen her send one of her gorgeous smiles sent his way before and he took great pride in it.

'Gods is she beautiful,' Inuyasha thought to himself, not just meaning her appearance.

Inuyasha leaned closer and watched as Kagome's eyes fluttered closed before he closed his own and his lips graced hers. What started out as a feathery light touch became more heated and desperate.

Kagome dove her hands into Inuyasha's silver mane and subconsciously her fingers found the two fuzzy triangles at the top of his head. Inuyasha moved Kagome so that she was sprawled against the front seats and he his body so that he was lying on top of her.

Kagome gently kneaded Inuyasha's dog ears with the tips of her fingers as he placed feather-light kisses on the juncture of her neck.

"Oh, Gods, Kagome," Inuyasha groaned against Kagome's neck, causing her to shiver.

"I'm sorry, do you not like to have your ears touched," Kagome said breathily as she removed her hands from Inuyasha's ears and continued babbling, "I never was considering how you'd feel about it. I guess I always thought they were so cute and…"

Kagome's was interrupted when Inuyasha's lips came crashing down on hers once again. He just couldn't help it. He hadn't been this happy for the longest time. Kagome liked his ears. His mate thought the one attribute that had caused him to be ridiculed and alienated was cute.

Inuyasha pulled back just slightly and looked into the cloudy eyes of the girl beneath him. He gave her his trademark sexy smirk, though he really felt like giving her his goofy smile that he rarely let people see. He took her hands in one of his, while using his other hand to keep his weight from crushing her, and brought her hands back to his ears.

"Kagome, I love it when you touch my ears, TRUST me, it's amazing," Inuyasha whispered huskily.

Kagome smiled and began to rub his ears again. Kagome giggled when Inuyasha closed his eyes and began to growl, his face contorted into an expression of total and complete pleasure. Inuyasha opened his eyes lazily at hearing the young girls giggling. He looked at her questioningly and in return, Kagome smiled coyly.

"What," Inuyasha whispered, barely being able to speak with Kagome's performing her sweet torture on his ears?

"Does my puppy like to have his ears rubbed," Kagome asked coyly, which floored Inuyasha?

Inuyasha's eyes opened in shock. Kagome was being playful with him! She wasn't resisting him, she was responding. Inuyasha began to feel a familiar tightening in his jeans.

'Gods,' Inuyasha groaned inwardly, 'This bitch makes me a walking hard on.'

Inuyasha gave her a sexy smile and his eyes closed partially on pleasure as Kagome continued to massage his ears.

"This is how much I like it," Inuyasha whispered to Kagome as he rubbed his groin against Kagome's pelvic area. Kagome gasped and Inuyasha swallowed it with another searing kiss. Kagome's hands left Inuyasha's ears and slipped under his red t-shirt to feel the hard contours of his chest.

Inuyasha groaned and Kagome shivered, never thinking it was possible for her to make someone feel this way. She could feel Inuyasha's desire and need surround her and it mingled in the air with her own.

Inuyasha moved his lips to Kagome's neck and took in a deep breath of her scent, the scent that more effective than any drug. The scent of the sensual vanilla and the fresh cherry blossoms was now mixed with the most heavenly scent in the world, the sweet and spicy scent of her arousal.

Inuyasha dipped his head low and began to place feather-light kisses going from her shoulder and all the way up her neck. Kagome's breathing became shallow, and Inuyasha smirked in pride. He was brining his woman the same sweet torture that she gave to him moments before when she was rubbing his ears.

Inuyasha then began to flick his tongue over the juncture of Kagome's neck. This was the spot that, when the time was right, he would mark her as his mate. Kagome gasped and Inuyasha slowly flicked his tongue out again and then began doing it over and over again in longer, more sensual strokes.

"Inuyasha," Kagome moaned out, her breath coming out ragged and her eyes closed in pleasure.

Inuyasha leaned on his arms and pushed up off of Kagome. Her eyes opened and she looked at him questioningly.

"What," Kagome asked breathily?

"Kagome," Inuyasha said huskily, "I need you, but I know you're not ready. So please just go in your house, where you'll be safe. Because the longer you stay in this car the more danger you'll be in. I won't be able to control myself. Please."

Kagome's eyes widened when realization hit her. Inuyasha then realized that she hadn't been thinking clearly, that she had lost herself in the moment and was beginning to regret it. Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head. His expression became closed off as he lifted himself completely off of Kagome and sat back in the drivers sit.

Kagome sat up and began to fix her skirt which had ridden up while Inuyasha had spread her across the front. Kagome looked back at him and couldn't help but feel guilt when she looked at his expression as he stared straight ahead of him. His expression remained cool and emotionless but she could read the truth in his eyes. His eyes looked sad and rejected.

Kagome leaned over and rested her hand on his cheek. Inuyasha slowly moved his head to face her and his eyes made Kagome want to cry.

"Thank you, Inuyasha," Kagome said sweetly, "You don't know how much it means to me that you're taking my feelings into consideration."

Inuyasha nodded, but his eyes remained the same. Kagome smiled slightly and leaned over to plant a tender kiss on his cheek. She moved back to her side of the car to see a shocked expression on Inuyasha's face. Kagome giggled again, before composing herself.

"Inuyasha, do you want to stay for dinner," Kagome asked kindly as she made to open the door, "Mom would love to meet you."

'She wants me to meet her mother,' Inuyasha thought in a mixture of shock and happiness?

Inuyasha nodded his head, making Kagome smile. He quickly made his way out of the car and over to open Kagome's door for her. He held out his hand for her and she took and to Inuyasha's surprise, she kept hold of it as they headed for the shrine steps.

Inuyasha looked over at her and she looked over and smiled before turning away, blushing. Inuyasha smiled to himself. Would he finally have her as his mate? He couldn't believe it, in one day he had gone farther with her than he had in the three prior years of his pursuit. They had had their first kiss together, and he now believed they were on their way to being a couple. But one question plagued Inuyasha's mind.

Would she submit and become his mate or was this how it would be for the rest of his life?
