I know I promised I truely am sorry everyone. This week has been horrid though. Please forgive me. Well as for the story what do I have in my goody bag for you all...... well lets see. NO! could it be a possible love scene with Kagome and Inuyasha! Wow, well say bye bye to the happy after this chapter. At least for a little while that is. I still have MANY tricks up my sleeve. Many so there will be many more chapters! But after this one there won't be much happy for a while. You'll all find out why at the end of this chappy. Well as I said many more tricks. I would like to say to InuyashaKagome10 that I hope this is long enough. I've been looking to write a longer chapter just hadn't gotten around to it. But after your review it reminded me Thanks! - To all of my reviewers I will give more shout outs at the end I promise.


Chapter 7: First Night Of New Lives Inuyasha's POV So we took Kouga's mangled body and threw it in front of the wolf tribe's place. We had no idea when they would finally stumble across it. I knew they would seek vengeance. Which was fine with me. I would gladly put some of those wolfs down. I guess I have to respect them though for seeking vengeance to their fallen comrade. But Kouga got what he deserved. WOW I was happy he was finally out of my hair. Mangy wolf. Well the walk back to Kagome's time was mostly silent. Miroku and I were still in complete shock. But all good things must come to an end I suppose and further more this was due to Miroku finding it necessary to open his mouth.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yea?"

"Did Kagome actually?" I cut him off.....

"Yea"

"And did you actually" Once again I cut him off...

"YES OK?"

"Um and Inuyasha?" Miroku still not getting the hint.

"Yea" I flexed my claws getting tired of the questions.

"Does this mean?" Cut of....

"I don't know what it means. Are you happy now?"

"Nice day out huh?"

I just shoot him a dirty look.

"Yea freaking beautiful"

And with that I kept on walking in silence. My mind was plagued now. So she heard me say that she was mine. So does that mean she feels the same way? Or that she's pissed about me saying that? But she didn't protect Kouga. I laughed at that. No No she neutered Kouga. Miroku saw the amused look on my face and said.

"Thinking about Kouga losing his umm manhood?"

With that we both started laughing hysterically. It was an un common sight but given the situation it was understandable. We started mocking him then.

"First things he probably thought was 'HEY THAT CAN'T GROW BACK!' " Miroku spat out

"No No it was probably 'HOW THE HELL COULD SHE HIT A TARGET THAT SMALL?!'" I yelled counter acting what Miroku said.

The two of us just couldn't control the laughter. It was price less! In some peculiar way it made us feel a whole lot better. And then we saw the well. We leapt in. It was still strange that Miroku could go through too but after Kaede found some sort of spell well we all could. Not like I needed it. I could already. But it was still puzzling how. I just let it go without question. As we landed on ground we climbed out and made our way into the house.

"Inuyasha" I heard my name called. It was Kagome "Can we talk?... Alone?"

"Ah......... um........ Y-yes sure" I stuttered.

She lead me up to her room where she locked the door behind her and..... Shippou's POV Kagome wasn't even aware I was alive anymore was she? She had been through allot and all I wanted to do was be with her. But she just wants Inuyasha. Grr why does she want him around when they always fight?

"Sango!"

"Yes Shippou" she sighed.

"What is it that Kagome and Inuyasha doing?"

"Each other" Miroku said under his breath. Which got a slap from Sango.

"No were not even sure what's going on" Sango said to Miroku and me for that matter.

"Well when will they be done?" I whined I was getting tired of waiting.

"Shippou it's only been five minutes. They might be up there for hours so just calm down and play with the toys Kagome gave you. Or watch the thing that has pictures in motion. " Sango said.

Kirara came up to the sofa where I was and started purring. I hoped down and we played for a bit. Kirara was always so good and loyal. I sat in total confusion of the thing I think Kagome calls the TV. It was people talking and doing stuff. It made no sense. Who would sit around and watch that I thought. But what did I know.

"SANGO!" I whined again

"Shippou it's been one minute since you asked me last and NO I don't know when they'll be done!"

Sango and Miroku were content talking and I was bored out of my mind. I wanted Kagome. I mean I had to wait for what seemed like forever just to see when she was almost raped. And when I finally saw her I couldn't even hug her! But Inuyasha could. How comes he got to do everything? Hmmp. This was unbearable. I hated waiting. I wonder what they're doing...... Kirara's POV I understand why Shippou's so worried. But for heavens sakes if their finally getting together then he really should just shut up. WHAT? What do you mean I'm only a cat? Oh course I have thoughts! In fact I'm highly intelligent. So why do I stay with them you ask? Well isn't it obvious without me they would all be dead by now. Besides you grow to love them. And well of course I love Sango. And well Miroku grows on you. Inuyasha I loved him from the start same goes for Kagome. Shippou well he would always play with me and he talked to me when the others were too far out of it or depressed. I love him also. Yea this was my family.

Kagome's POV



"Inuyasha" I was afraid but I knew I had to ask him. "Inuyasha did you mean what you said before?" My back was to him. I was afraid to face him.

"Yes" he took my shoulder and pulled me around. He took his hand and placed it under my chin and gently brought my head up. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his amber orbs. They were genuine. "Kagome I think you should know this." He brought me closer "I have loved you for a long time now. I tried to deny it. I tried to hide it form myself. I thought I still loved Kikyo. I realize now though that I don't. At one time but no longer. From the minute we meet I loved you. But I kept it hidden. And if you don't believe me think about it. I said the only reason I stayed around was to avenge Kikyo's death. Well I did that and I'm still here. I'm not in hell with Kikyo. Kagome I stay because I want to protect you and have a life with you. And most importantly because I love you. When you were hurt I felt more pain then I ever have. Kagome if you were the one asking me to go to hell with you. To die and to go to hell forever I would be there with you in a heart beat. No second thought no excuses. I would be there for you. I would never be able to do that for Kikyo. I'm madly in love with you Kagome."

Tears swarmed my eyes. My legs became weak. I only feel into Inuyasha's arms deeper. The warmth of his body pressed up against my and I buried my head in his chest crying. He gently brought my head up to look at him again.

"I love you too Inuyasha. I always have. And I always will."

He moved down and tenderly kissed me on the lips. My whole body went numb. I slipped my arms around his neck. He picked me up never once breaking our lips contact and placed me on the bed. He slowly opened his mouth and I did the same. His tongue slithered into my mouth and mine battled with his for dominance. I moaned some by his touch. His hands traveled up my shirt. I pulled him closer to me. His pressure on my body felt so good.

"KAGOME!" A loud banging on the door was heard. It was Shippou.

Inuyasha hesitated getting off me but he had to if he was gonna kill Shippou. Oh course I wouldn't let him but right about then I could have done it myself. Inuyasha hurled the door open.

"What is it? Someone better be dying!" Inuyasha snarled.

"Kagome!" Shippou ran up and jumped onto my shoulder. Inuyasha clobbered him in the head.

"OWW!" Shippou cried out in pain.

"Shippou I'm sorry, but we were busy. What's so important?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to see you." He gave me a sad face. I sighed.

"WHAT!?!?!?!" Inuyasha screamed and threw Shippou across the hall.

"KAGOME MAKE HIM STOP!" Shippou cried.

I reluctantly went and picked Shippou up. Then went over to Inuyasha and whispered in his ear.

"Later I promise. I will be right back. I just want to put him downstairs. But it will be just you and me when I come back."

God I could have killed Shippou myself. But I knew he had been through allot to. I didn't want to leave Inuyasha for long though. He had a sad puppy dog look on his face when I walked away to put Shippou back in the living room.

"Kagome where are you going?" Shippou cried out as I turned to make my way back up the steps.

"I'm going back up to Inuyasha. We have some more things to talk about."

"Why can't you talk down here?"

"Ah" oh great how to explain this. I struggled with my words. Yet nothing.

"Because it's private Shippou" Sango chimed in and then gave me a wink.

"Well I want to see you too ya know Kagome." Shippou's eyes began to flood with the dampness of tears. "I was worried sick about you last night!"

Well that hurt. I hadn't realized I had hurt Shippou by not spending time with him. I grabbed him and gave him a big hug. A began to cry myself.

"Shippou I'm ok now" I chocked out. "I'm sorry I made you worry. I didn't mean to ignore you either. I'm sorry Shippou. But I do have to go back to Inuyasha for now. But I promise it will be ok and well spend more time together soon."

"D-do y-you means it?" He sniffed up the tears.

"Of course I do." I smiled and he quickly returned it. Then I hugged him again quick.

I made my way back up the stairs and found Inuyasha waiting. We went back in my room and I locked the door behind me.

"What took so long?"

"Shippou was upset over me not spending so much time with him." I collapsed on my bed and winced a little from the bruises I forgot I had. I lay there and stared at him seductively. He came down and lain next to me. Then wrapped his strong arms around my waist.

"Ok now where were we?" He whispered in my ear causing a chill to run up and down my spin. He slipped his hands up my skirt slowly as he kissed me. He made his way on top of me. I moaned at the sensation and....

"INUYASHA! KAGOME! DINNER!"

Inuyasha's hands dropped and we stopped kissing. He remained on top of me still. The he rolled off and lay on my bed rubbing his head.

"Are we ever gonna get any time together? Without interruptions?"

"I hope so" I retorted.

"I can't take this much longer you know."

I leaned in and kissed him.

"I know........ " My hands slipped down to his bulge. I quickly pulled them away though. "Let's go." I got up off my bed and grabbed his hand and dragged him with me.

"You know that was just unfair." He said to me.

"You know that wasn't your smartest move." He playfully picked me up and carried me toward the bed.

"Don't make me sit you"

"Fine" he grunted "but after dinner you are sooo mine"

I knew it was wrong. But it was fun to see him beg like that. And besides when it actually happened then there would be more built up sexual tension that would be released and feel allot better.

Inuyasha's POV I was to the point of agony. I had to soon or I would burst. I sat there at the dinner table starring at Kagome the whole time. I hardly watched my food. She kept looking at me in a sultry way that drove me insane. That was a huge change though. I always thought she would be a little shyer.... Especially after last night. Oh well I had no clue why she wanted to mess with me that way so bad though. It took every once of strength to not just throw he on the table and do it right there but I had the impression she would be a little peeved if I did that. But no harm in thinking it. Oh wait! HUGE HARM!! What if someone sees I'm a little to excited? Oh great. Now I had to worry about this.

"So how is it everyone?" Kagome's Mother spoke softly.

"Amazing" Shippou cried stuffing his face with more food.

"Inuyasha, how about you?"

"Huh?" I said a little on edge at first I thought she was talking about something else. Then I realized what she meant. "Oh it's great!" I said desperately trying not to sound nervous.

"Is everything ok Inuyasha?" Kagome asked innocently even though she knew damn well what was wrong. She was the one who did it to me for god's sakes.

"Why yes it is Kagome" I said innocently and gave her a sinister grin. She quirked an eyebrow to my last statement and gesture. She then simply went back to eating but not before she gave me the 'I WILL find out what our planning, and it WONT work' look. I snickered to myself on that look. I maintained my innocent idle look. The rest of the group was completely bemused by it all. Sango would often look to Kagome for an answer. Kagome would just shrug her shoulders. It amazed me on how not a word was said and yet it was as if they had understood each other perfectly. Just by looking at the other. Miroku looked at me and nodded his head with a perverted smile on his face. Didn't take much to figure out what he wanted to know. It was so readable, like a children's book in font so big one letter took up a quarter of the page. I just gave him a dark glare. That stopped him quick. I just hoped Kagome's Mother hadn't seen any of it.

"So boys how did things go today?" Kagome's Mother asked referring to Kouga.

"Just as planned. And everything is taken care of."

"Splendid" Her Mother rang in joy.

"Hey Mom" Souta said "could I sleep over at a friend's house tonight? It's a weekend PLEASE!"

"Sure honey. Just finish dinner then I will drive you to his house."

"Thanks!"

With that Kagome looked over thrilled. She gave a big wide grin and looked at me. Well now that was confusing why would she be so happy about that? I gave her a confused look and she just shook her head. Well whatever she was happy about it must involve me. Speaking of which I was getting tired of waiting.

"Hey Mom" Kagome said

"Well since it's kind of crowded us all being in the same room, could Shippou, Sango, Miroku and Kirara stay in Souta's room tonight? I mean Sango and Miroku are married so they should be together. And well Shippou and Kirara don't take up much room so could they stay there too? "

"Sure honey" her mother quirked an eyebrow. "But why do you want Inuyasha to stay with you?"

"Um" she scrambled to find a reason. Oh duh it seemed like a light bulb went on in her head. "Because I feel safer with him around."

"Oh ok, well then of course."

OH OK NOW I GOT IT! That's why she was so happy ok. Now it makes sense. What does this mean? This should be a very very good night.

Kagome's Mom's POV

Tonight after she's asleep I will take her jewel. Then tomorrow morning I will talk to the others. If they want to leave they can but Kagome must stay. And if they want to stay then they can. But she cannot go back. And I may have to block the well for a while. To insure she won't leave defiantly. Inuyasha is strong but he won't be able to break this plan. I will have to have constant surveillance on the well. I'll have to call an old friend he'll be able to help there. I hate to do this but I won't feel safe unless she's here. I think I've been fair letting her go every other time. But now she had to stay at least until she's 18. Then she has her free choice. She's 16 now only two years of this will happen. But she has to stay. I hate to do it, but I must.

"Well that was great Mom! Thanks again!" Kagome cheerfully said as she finished her meal and got up from the table. "Is everyone else finished?"

"Yea I am" said Inuyasha

Then the rest simply nodded. And said their thank yous. This was going to be hard. Sango's POV After dinner was finished and we all were in the living room. Well minus Kagome's Mom and Souta. I was curious as to just what those two were planning.

"Hey Kagome. Can I speak with you for a moment please?"

"Sure"

"Alone?"

"Um yea here we'll go in the bathroom and talk I guess."

We walked up the stairs to the bathroom. I was baffled why she choose the bathroom though.

"Um hey Kagome, why here?"

"It's the farthest room in the house that Inuyasha is from. That way with any luck he can't hear this. You said you wanted it private right?"

"Oh ok yes. What ARE you two going to do tonight? I saw the looks. What's going on Kagome?" I teased

"Well what do you think?"

"Are you ready?"

"I don't know. I want to because I want it to be with Inuyasha. I mean it was almost taken from me last night. I'm afraid if I wait any longer it could happen again and this time they will succeed. I want the first to be special."

"I can understand that, but Kagome what about Kikyo? How does he feel about her?"

"He says he loves me. And him and her never mated either." Her face blushed.

"Oh. Well what if he hurts you and goes back to Kikyo?"

"I don't know. He said the next time he saw her he would end it."

"Are you positive he will though?"

"I hope so."

"Well if you think your ready then I wont stop you."

"Thanks Sango. I wanted to talk to you about this before anyway." Kagome gave me a huge. And we walked back down to the living room. I thought Inuyasha would be listening in on the conversation but the hall seemed clear. He was just sitting on the couch talking to Miroku. Was Kagome actually going to go through with this? Well obviously she was. From now on I think things will be a little bizarre



Kagome's POV

Well talking to Sango was nice. This was I didn't feel like I was hiding anything.

"KAGOME!" Mama yelled "I'm leaving to take Souta to his friend's house. Grandpa is taking a nap. I will be back in about an hour. I have to stop at the store and pick up some things. Make everything comfortable in Souta's room and in yours."

"Ok Mama. See ya when you get back."

I waited till she went out the door. Then I ran to the window and watched as she pulled away in her car. As the lights slowly faded into the blackness of the night I knew she was gone out of sight. YES! I ran back to the living room.

"Hey Inuyasha how about we make things comfortable in my room?"

He just smirked and followed me up the stairs. When we were all he way up he picked me up and carried me into my room then set me down, still having his arms enclosed around me. I locked the door to a deep breath and walked over to my bed. I lain myself down and he slowly walked over and started taking off my shirt. I stopped him gently.

"Inuyasha, you're not going to back to Kikyo......right?"

Well the extremely confused hanyou just looked down at me. "No never. After this you'll be my mate no one else. Promise." He spoke softly. "Kagome, are you sure your ready for this? After last night I mean."

"Last night made me realize that this is something special I want to give to the one I love. I don't want anyone to have and opportunity to take it away from me. Except for you. But I'm giving it to you; you're not just taking."

I sat up and kissed him and pulled him down to once again be on top of me. He succeeded into getting my shirt of as I worked on his pants. He slid my skirt down and I pulled his shirts off. He became angered with my bra and just cut it off. And sipped my panties down slowly. Then slid his hand up across my inner thighs. I wrapped my legs around his body and could feel the intensity between them. I cringed in pain at the entrance but after found immense pleasure. When it was all over he held me to him close and I struggled into his chest.

"No one will ever harm you again."

I quickly fell asleep.

HOURS LATER

I got up to go to the bathroom. And slipped out of his hold. I got dressed into a nightgown quick and as I got to the door I looked back and smiled at him. He looked so cute when he slept. I heaved a heavy sigh and unlocked the door. It wasn't late at all. It was only about 10. But Inuyasha and I spent the time from 6 on in my room. No one bothered us though. I peeked into Souta's room to see all the others fast asleep. I peered into Mama's room to find her flipping thought the channels on T.V. . And Grandpa was in his room sound asleep. I crept into the bathroom. I washed my face and let what just happened sink in. I decided I needed a bath. As the water slowly filled the tub and steamed floated in the air making it hazy and hard to see I kept replaying what happened. Another sigh escaped me. I was so happy. And yet I was filled in doubt. How was I sure he wouldn't go back to Kikyo? I was drawn out of my thoughts by a knock at the door.

"Who's there?"

"It's me"

"Oh hold on." I grabbed a towel, opened the door and poked my head out. "How may I help you?"

"By losing the towel." He joked smugly.

"Inuyasha I'm taking a bath."

"Oh... whatever. Just wanted to know where you were you scared me."

"I'm fine. Go back to bed."

"Feh, like I'll be able to sleep."

"Night Inuyasha. I'll be in in a little bit."

"Suit yourself." He shrugged and walked away.

I eased my way into the hot bath. I soaked and thought about it all. "Well" I said to myself "guess this means I have a mate". I sank into the water deeper and finally got myself out. I dressed and went back to bed. Inuyasha was there waiting. This time I left the door unlocked so my Mama wouldn't get suspicious. I snuggled next to him and drifted to sleep again.

Inuyasha's POV

WOW. Yup pretty much all I can say to what happened. Wow.

Kagome's Mom's POV

Well at around 2 in the morning I got up and snuck over to Kagome's room. Her and Inuyasha were on the bed in each other's arms. I wondered if I should be worried but then remembered Inuyasha would protect and love her so if they were an item I would except it well. I went over to where the jewel was completely assembled. Since they killed Kouga they kept his shards and the jewel was once again whole. This meant Kagome wouldn't be able to obtain a shard in any other way. I grabbed it and quickly left. I knew she could sense where they were. But she would not be able to get into it. I had visited my friend earlier when I said I had gone to the store. He got me a safe that had more alarms and locks on it then I knew. And it itself was placed in another safe that was deep in a crawl space in the house. Which I sealed for the time being. I didn't want to have to do this but I knew it was the only other way. I put the jewel in it and sealed it once more. This time it was kind of with concrete but it was a special material. There was another way of getting to it though. But this way was nearly impossible unless you had help from my certain friend. In simple terms I was the only one who knew how to get it.

HOURS LATER

7:00 a.m.

I heaved a sigh and gathered them all into the living room to make my announcement.

"I am not happy with what I did. But I feel it's the only way to keep Kagome safe. Kagome you have to stay here until you turn 18. I'm sorry."

"NO Why?" Kagome cried

"Because it's not safe!"

"I will protect her!" Inuyasha snarled

"You can't all the time. I'm sorry everyone, but I am Kagome's Mother. And I sealed the jewel away. It is impossible for any of you to recover it. You are all welcome to stay here. Bur you have to decided because I will be sealing the well for a short time, the two years that is, to make sure no other unwelcome visitors come through. I truly am sorry. But you all must decide soon. I can't wait very long on this. You all have a week to decide. Please forgive me." I bowed my head and left the room full of speech less ness. It was hard but it had to be done.

Kagome's POV

"Inuyasha. You will stay right?" He responded by saying .......
