A.N. Hope you like my story. Here soon I will take some time off from writing so I will try to put in as much as I possibly can in a short amount of time.

Last Chapter

"We have school tomorrow," he explained, "sleep is essential to a young woman." "InuYasha what kind of bull shit is that? You never sleep." she said looking at him strangely. "True," he responded crawling under the blankets pulling Kagome with him, "but tonight I think I will make a exception."

Kagome woke with a small smile on her face when she realized the reason why she felt so warm was because InuYasha was still holding her from the night before.

He looks so peaceful. Yes, but are you ready to love him like this. Like what? Tonight was the new moon, it is still dark, and although he is a human for now he is still the same beautiful InuYasha I love. Yeah, but in his hanou state he is even more beautiful, and much stronger. I don't care, I will always love him. WHY MUST THIS NIGHT END!?

"Kagome?" said a low voice, pulling her from her thoughts. She looked to find her friend still lying next to her. Kagome lie her head on InuYasha's chest and sighed, this was perfect. she thought to her self. I feel that he really loves me now. "Kagome," he repeated. When she looked up at him, Kagome could see him pulse like he did that night. "it's almost sunrise." "I know," she said kissing him softly, "I do not care. As long as you don't change inside, you will always be mine."

Always hers? I like the sound of that. Yeah, I do too. "Kagome, can we stay like this for the rest of the day?" he asked, almost child like. Giggling, Kagome kissed InuYasha and smiled. "Of course, I thought you would never ask." The two just lie there in silence for a while looking at each other when the phone rang. "I'll answer that" Kagome said, leaning over InuYasha. "Why?" he said kissing her softly, "You have a answering machine up here, we can listen and if it is important… then you can answer it." "How can I say no with logic like that" Kagome said, allowing herself to be pulled deeper into the kiss.

"Kagome, it's Sango. Do not come to school today. InuYasha's ex Kikyo is looking for you. She say's she's going to kick your ass if she see's you. Yash, I know you are with her. Do not let her leave the house. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" click. The call was over.

"Well," Kagome said, attempting to sit up. "I guess we have to go to school now." "What? Why? You said we could just stay here" InuYasha whined. "I know" she said softly lying back down with the man. "But I cannot let that bitch attempt to scare me." What Kagome didn't know was that Kikyo was not only skilled archer, as was Kagome, but she was studying to be a martial arts master as well. On the other hand, what NOBODY knew was that Kagome was a black belt and a martial arts master in three different ways of fighting.

Flash

"mom, can I study martial arts?" a young Kagome asked her mother. "Dear, why would you do a thing like that?"

"The other girls at school keep saying they are going to beat me up. I do not want to die without a fight" she explained to her mother. "oh, well then… okay I guess I have no choice but to let you. Just know that if you start this you will not be allowed to just give up." "I know momma, this is something I do not just need. I want this."

end

Kagome had never wanted anything more than to learn to fight. She loved it, quickly excelling at the sport faster than many of the boys in her age class she also took up archery to take up whatever time she had left over. This too, she soon learned was another skill that she became very good at. "InuYasha, I have something I need to tell you. Nobody knows this, not even Miroku. And he thinks he knows everything about me." oh damn, he thought to himself she is wanted for murder or something. Reading the look on the mans face, Kagome got serious.

"Look, I am not the normal girl you think I am" she started. "I do not want any interruptions from you. Like last night when you told me your huge secret. It is my turn to tell you mine."
"Okay," he said slowly. "this isn't bad or anything is it?"

"No… I don't think it is… maybe… it can turn ugly."

She started with her story. "The reason my mother, brother and me moved to Tokyo isn't just because my grandfather was very sick. In the small town we lived in near here a few months ago was a bad place for me." she breathed in deeply ready to get deeper into details. "When I was small, a 'goddess' came to my mother and told her that she had blessed me with absolute 'beauty' and that men my age would always try to pursue me. Unless, they themselves had a woman they truly loved. My mother didn't think much of this and continued to raise me as a normal girl. But as I got older, boys my age started making perverted advances towards me, I didn't like that too much so we moved. But I was already well into my 'developmental' stages of life and things got worse. Once I got to middle school, the 'blessing' bestowed upon me became a curse. Boys who had girlfriends started breaking off their relationships to try to pursue me. After that I started being attacked by girls. It started with notes, just the stupid 'watch your back' stuff. I never took that too seriously as nobody did anything. Until one day a girl told me that I had one week to prepare myself because she was going to kill me. I told the police and showed the letters she gave me and they arrested her. But after that I told my mother I wanted to learn martial arts. I was afraid for my life. I felt it was time for me to protect myself, I already knew archery. Gramps taught me that as a child, you know how he is so into the whole warring states era and figured that I was a reincarnated priestess or something so made me do it, but that wouldn't help me if my life was to be at stake. I now know 3 different forms of martial arts and am a master in all of them. Kikyo knows about my past, I don't know how she found out. But she thinks that you were affected by my curse. She has wanted to get me since me and you became friends. She blames me for you're breaking up with her. Do you understand now why I must do this?"

InuYasha was completely stunned by what the girl had told him. It makes sense though. Why all the guys at school are always following her like puppies. Yes it does, but why aren't we really affected by the girl? Because the second we saw her we fell in love. Oh yeah. I forgot. "Kagome," InuYasha started, "why didn't you tell me this earlier?" "I came to Tokyo to start new. Then gramps got sick not long after we arrived. I didn't have the time, with taking care of him. And then school, it just never struck that I should have said anything. I am so sorry." InuYasha pulled the girl back down on the bed with him and kissed her forehead before she put her had against his chest. "You don't have anything to worry about with me" he told her quietly before she fell asleep again.

Kagome woke to see that InuYasha was not lying with her like he was earlier, but he was sitting in a chair next to the bed looking at her intently. "Hey beautiful" he said. "Hi handsome," she remarked laughing. The two just sat there a moment longer. "Kagome, I know that we are about to finish school for good, and I realized that you would probably go off somewhere amazing and forget about me…" "Yash I could never do that to you…" "let me finish. Damn. I don't want to let you go. After hearing your story I realized that I love you. Not as a friend. You are my only one. My world. You have been asleep for sometime now. Your mother called, grandpa is okay. And he gave me his permission already."

Kagome was completely clueless by this point. "InuYasha what are you saying?" she asked. "I am saying… well this is hard to say. What I am saying is…" he got down on one knee and Kagome instantly knew what he was trying to say.

"Kagome Higurashi, I am asking for your hand in marriage."

A.N. hope you like it. This will be my last chapter for a while.

Spoiler:

Kagome started at InuYasha as he sat there waiting for her answer. WHAT DO I SAY? she thought to herself. Well you love him. He obviously loves you. What is the reasonable thing to do? RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
