Disclaimer: As much as I hate it, I don't own Inu-yasha or any of the characters, Rumiko Takahashi does. However, Starlin Genesis, Valkirie, and Vixen are my own characters. Please do not use them without asking my permission and at least giving me a little credit. Thanks:o)

P.S. Okasan, is what Shippo calls Kagome in his thoughts and sometimes, not only in his thoughts. If something is in bold, then it means that is the person's thoughts. "quotes" is them talking. Underlined is telepathy. If it's like this, bold, then it means that it is the person's conscience, or in the case of youkai and hanyous youkai side, talking. stars are my thoughts on something I just wrote. (camera) is when the focus shifts. underlined and stars is the 'blue vile bond'.

Attention: To all my loyal readers, this is a revised edition and I changed a couple of minor things. Mostly just slight details, spelling mistakes, and grammar mistakes. I hope you enjoy.

The Mirror Chapter 5

"Genesis! How could you! You hurt him" Genesis's tail swishes angrily and her ears twitch a nervously. "I had to! It was expected. Besides, take a look how you were acting! Even Kag knows better then to make an outburst like that in public, and she's the one who is always chasing Shippo! Your lucky that your outburst wasn't any worse then it was! If it had been, then I would have had to KILL you! Don't you get it! You're human! Disobeying a hanyou can get you KILLED here" Kagome doesn't look like she likes it, but she shuts up and nods her head. Inu-yasha smells salt water and starts growling because he knows that it's from Kagome. She has tears running down her face and he starts panicking, then runs out of the house and jumps into a tree that's outside.

Genesis plops down and sighs. "Sorry I yelled at you Kagome, but you have to be careful. A lot of hanyous would have killed you right there. They would have taken it as a sign of rebellion. And rebel humans are either killed right away, or their spirits are broken. You have to be careful. I already know that your Inu-yasha would kill me if anything ever happened to you, and no, it isn't because you're his shard-detector. He loves you and he knows it. He's just too hard-headed to tell you." Kagome wipes the tears off her face and plops down beside Genesis. "It's okay. Do you think that we could stay in here? There's enough room for everyone." Kagome looks around and Genesis smiles. "That's what we were going to do anyways. We never let the humans and demons of our group sleep in the place that the villagers provide. Why don't you call your Inu-yasha in. He ran outside when you started crying. Then all of us can settle down for the night." Kagome gets up. "Okay." She walks out the door and looks around for Inu-yasha.

She spots him in the top of a tree a couple feet away, asleep. She tries to be quiet as she walks up to him, but she trips and rustles some leaves. She freezes, but his ears just twitch and he falls into a deeper sleep. He looks so calm, so peaceful when he's asleep. She walks slowly over to him. Now that she knows that he won't wake if she makes a little bit of sound, she walks up to the tree. She carefully climbs up to the branch he is on and sits beside him. She notices that the branch is big enough for her to sit beside him without either of them falling off and chews on her lip a bit. Then she scoots over to his side and curls up there. Inu-yasha starts to groggily open his eyes. He's still half-asleep and doesn't realize what he is doing yet.

He puts his arms around her and pulls her so that she is leaning against him with both his arms around her body. She's startled when he first pulls her into his lap and arms, but decides that he must not realize what he is doing. He must think that I'm Kikyo. It hurts, but it's true. "I...love…you…'gome." He nuzzles his head in her hair and holds her a bit tighter. She's in a mild state of shock, but finally gets over it and snuggles into his red hoari. She falls asleep, for the first time, with his arms around her.

I knew it. This is great. I better go tell everyone that they aren't going to be coming back in tonight. Then as an afterthought, I better tell them that they fell asleep in a tree. Otherwise that monk, Miroku, will think of something hentai. Genesis walks down the hallway and back to everyone else.

(The next morning: camera focuses on Inu-yasha and Kagome sitting in a tree. He has arms around her and they are both asleep, but Inu-yasha is starting to come awake.)

Huh? Why am I so warm? He slowly opens his eyes and sees Kagome. What happened? How did Kagome get up here? Oh no. She probably came up here to wake me up. I must have pulled her to me when I was asleep. This is not good. What if I told her something that I didn't want her to know. She's probably going to be really mad at me for this. He starts trying to disentangle himself, but she just snuggles further into his hoari. Ah, damn! I'm going to have to leave her like this. Otherwise she's going to wake up. Damnit! When she wakes up, she's gonna 'sit' me. She probably didn't even want me to hold her like this. Shit! Now she's gonna hate me. But she looks so peaceful. I love her, but she can't want me. I'm a hanyou. He finally notices that Kagome is starting to wake up, but before she does, she mumbles something that he has to strain to here. "I love…you…too, Inu…ya…sha." Understanding dawns on him just as she comes awake.

"You can here my thoughts, can't you" Kagome groggily opens her eyes and looks at him, then yawns. "Morning Inu-yasha. What was that you just asked me? I didn't hear you." He listens for her thoughts in the back of his mind. I wonder what it was that Inu-yasha said? I wasn't awake enough to hear it before. He's probably going to make me get down now, but I really don't want to. I like being in his arms and I love him. She listens for Inu-yasha's thoughts without even thinking about it. I can here her thoughts. And I'm pretty sure that she can hear mine. That means that... Damnit all! Why didn't Starlin tell me? Never mind. She already knew that if she had told me, then I wouldn't have drank the stuff in that stupid blue vile. Arg! She's probably listening to my thoughts right now.

"Oops" Inu-yasha looks at Kagome. "Yes. A big time 'oops'." He tightens his arms around her a bit. "Inu-yasha? What you were thinking, did you really mean it? Do you really love me" He thinks about it for a few minutes. She starts thinking that his answer is going to be 'no' because of his silence, but then he answers her. "Yes, I meant it. I love you. I didn't want to, but I do. I kept telling myself that you wouldn't want me because I'm a hanyou., that I should love Kikyo, that I owe her, but it didn't work. I love you Kagome."

She turns around and throws her arms around his neck. She kisses him and he's so shocked that they almost fall out of the tree. "I love you too, Inu-yasha. I don't care that you're a hanyou. To me you're just you. You're my Inu-yasha, my love, the one I want as my mate, and I wouldn't want you to be anything or anyone other then who you are." She kisses him again and this time he kisses her back.

"Did you two have fun last night" They look down to see Miroku sitting right below them and both of them turn bright red. Inu-yasha grabs Kagome and jumps down to the ground, then lets her go. Her face is red and she suddenly seems very interested in her feet. Miroku starts laughing then goes and claps Inu-yasha on the back. "So, how far did you two go" Inu-yasha starts growling and Miroku backs away a little bit. "I'm guessing not very..." Tora Sango has come out and Miroku is now unconscious. She drags him back into the house. "Sorry guys. I accidentally let him get away from me." She slides the door shut and Inu-yasha and Kagome look at each other. "Umm.." Both their faces are bright red, but Kagome kisses Inu-yasha and it's as if Miroku had never showed up.

"Are they still going at it" The two kits look at each other. "Yep." The two kits look out the window again. They see Inu-yasha lead Kagome around the corner of the house and into the woods. "Aww. There aren't any windows over there. We can't see what happens now." Shippo looks at Kaji Shippo. "Maybe we can sneak out? Never mind. Ane would know right away and wouldn't let us. Besides, Inu-yasha would smell us." They plop down to the ground, disappointed. They had wanted to see what Inu-yasha and Kagome would do.

(camera focuses on Kagome and Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha has his arms around Kagome's waist and is looking into at her.)

"Kagome, If we do this, then you won't be able to change your mind anymore. If you decided that you don't love me anymore, there wouldn't be anything you could do." She kisses him lightly. "Inu-yasha, I won't change my mind. I love you and I won't ever love anyone else the way that I do you." Her voice as a note of finality in it and he kisses her. She puts her arms around his neck and kisses him back. One of his hands is slowly undoing the buttons on her shirt and the other is holding her tightly against him. They slowly go farther into the forest and the last button comes undone. Inu-yasha picks Kagome up and he takes them deeper into the forest.

They are in a small alcove and Inu-yasha takes off his outer hoari while Kagome lets her shirt drop slowly to the ground. She looks at him as he walks over to her and they lay down in the soft moss of the forest. She puts her hands on his chest and slides his inner hoari down his shoulders. She runs her hands over his bare chest and he kisses her gently ad slowly. "Kagome are you sure? I don't want to hurt you." She looks at him and smiles. He already knows her answer, but he had to be sure. He tries to undo her bra, but finally just uses one of his claws on it and it falls off onto the ground. He puts his hands back where they had just been before he had removed her bra ad kneads them gently, playing with her puckered pink nipples.

She gasps and undoes his pants. They fall off and she looks at him appreciatively. He pulls her skirt and underwear off. They look at each other and realize gladly that they are naked, both in body and in soul. Inu-yasha kisses her. "I love you Kagome." "I know Inu-yasha, but it's wonderful to hear you say it." She smiles and he looks at her with a question in his eyes. She nods and his mouth touches her breasts. She gasps at the wave of heat that washes over her.

He lightly licks her breast, then bites down gently, right where her heart is. His fangs break her skin and he tastes the sweetness of her blood. He licks the blood away and the bite mark heals, but it leaves two red fang marks right over her heart. He licks her again and his hands rest lightly on her waist. One hand goes down slightly and brushes against her inner folds. The scent of her desire spikes and she moans softly at the heat that washes over her. He does it again and smiles gently as her scent spikes. He realizes that she likes it and slowly brushes a single clawed finger against her inner folds. She moans and pulls him close to her. He kisses her, then slowly makes little wet trails all over her body. He slowly moves downward until he reaches the spot that his hand had been caressing. He licks her lightly there and her hips jerk upward.

He grins and holds her hips down. She moans as he licks her again. He sucks on the little nub gently and swirls his tongue around it. She starts quivering and he stops. He's not sure how, but he knows that she can't take much more. He kisses her lightly, trying to calm her, and starts to slowly move himself into her, but her hips jerk out of his hands and he sinks deeply into her before he can slow himself. He feels himself go through a thin barrier and starts moving his hips after a moment of surprise at her tightness, at her sweetness. He smells the scent of her blood and knows that he hurt her somehow, but she doesn't seem to notice any pain and their hips move together in a rhythm as old as time itself. They both climax and howl their pleasure at the explosion as their bodies go limp.

(camera shows Inu-yasha and Kagome lying together with no clothes on. They have Inu-yasha's outer hoari over them like a blanket.)

"Mmm. Inu…yasha." Kagome snuggles into Inu-yasha and he puts his arms around her. His eyes are open and he's looking at his Mark on Kagome. She doesn't know yet, but it will stay there forever. I'll tell her when she wakes up. She looks so comfortable right now. I don't want to wake her. He pulls her a little closer to him and falls back asleep.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hmm. Morning Inu-yasha." She turns her head, looks at him sleepily, and smiles. His expression softens when he notices that she's awake. "Morning Kagome." He sits up and pulls her to him. His outer hoari has slid off them and she blushes slightly. She notices his Mark on her skin and wonders what it is as she traces the pair of fang marks with her finger. "Inu-yasha? What is this" "Um…It's my Mark. It means that you're mine, that you're my mate. It won't go away, if you're wondering." She looks at it, then at him. She kisses him and he's a bit surprised at her forwardness, but soon it's a good thing that they didn't have any clothes on, other wise they would have been ruined.

Later...(camera shows Kagome and Inu-yasha in a small river.)

Kagome splashes Inu-yasha. "I'll get you for that." He splashes her back, then dives under the water. She waits for him to come up for air, but when he doesn't, she starts to get worried. She tries to look through the water for him, but she doesn't see him. All of a sudden he comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her. "Eeep" She swings around and he kisses her. A little while later they stop for air and she looks at him. "Don't scare me like that again! I was worried." He kisses her lightly. "You don't have to worry about me. I can hold my breath a long time. You will too, eventually." "What do you mean that I will too" He cheeks turn a bit pink and he looks down slightly. "I guess I forgot to tell you. It's a side effect of my putting my Mark on you. Your blood will change and you will slowly turn into an inu-hanyou. You're my mate, now. You're apart of me, and I'm apart of you. He kisses her again and they slowly make their way towards the bank of the river. One word: PUPS! lol I think that I'll leave it off here for now.
