Kagome woke up the next morning with inuyasha still behind her. She felt something at her neck and blushed, realizing that inuyasha had fallen asleep, biting her neck gently. She realized she had a hickey. She wondered what the others would say if they saw it. She tried to gently pull away and inuyasha growled, waking up. He released her neck and smirked. He paused as he realized he had bitten her neck, pre-marking her as his. He would have a much harder time resisting her but at least now no other demons could try to claim her from him. He smiled and nuzzled her mark, then pulled her into a kiss. Shippo woke up with a yawn as they pulled away. He poked his head out of the shirt. "Kagome? Im hungry!" Kagome giggled and replied, "lets go make breakfast then." Inuyasha pulled her into his arms and lept down, placing her on the ground as she walked back to the village.

They arrived a few minutes later, kagome starting breakfast as inuyasha grabbed shippo while she was busy. He shot a look at Miroku who was the only one near, before turning to shippo. He blushed as he growled out, "okay shippo, why the hell did you have to interrupt me and kagome while we were having a...private conversation?" Miroku snorted and started laughing hysterically as he looked at inuyashas blush. "In...in a tree?" He managed to choke out as he continued laughing. Inuyasha growled out, "shut up houshi-sama!" Shippo looked on in confusion and said, "im sorry i interrupted you talking to kagome. I promise not to bother you tonight." Miroku chuckled "i cant promise to be the same inuyasha." Inuyasha growled and bared his fangs at miroku. "Just fucking try it miroku." Miroku held up his hands placatingly, "just kidding!"
