Kurama had almost forgotten the stench of the world that he lived in. Almost. He almost wanted to cover his nose, or even just stop breathing, but he ignored it as he wrapped his arms around Kagome and Shippo and jumped, pulling them out from the well, as Inuyasha did the same with Angela and Sango. When they were all out of the well they walked to Kagome's house and she opened the door and called out: "Mom, Grandpa, Souta, I'm home." Right away Kurama could hear the footsteps of two people; one in the kitchen, one in an upstairs bedroom. "Kagome, it's nice for you to be home, I missed you a lot, how is your quest doing?" Mrs. Higurashi was walking out of the kitchen as Souta was on the stairs. Both were looking at Sango, and Sango was looking everywhere with an utterly lost expression on her face. Kagome cleared her throat, "mom, this is Sango, she is my demon slayer friend that I tell you about that is with us in the quest to destroy Naraku." Her mother looked at Sango a minute more, then smiled and hugged her. "Welcome Sango, I can help you get use to this era and it's technology." Sango nodded, dazed. "Mom, me and Kurama our just going to see his mother for a little, be back soon?" Kagome asked, and her mother nodded. Kagome and Kurama left the house.
-AaAa-
As soon as Kagome and Kurama left Sango was shown around, what this or that was, how they worked, and pretty much just asked questions while Mrs. Higurashi answered then to the best of her abilities. Shippo played with Souta. Inuyasha and Angela went outside to talk about a few things. Sango started the tour in the kitchen. She pointed to the stove, microwave, fridge, and sink. Then went to the hall, then to the living room, and that was pretty much it for Sango, she was exhausted so Mrs. Higurashi sent her up to bed and let her sleep until dinner time. Angela sat on Inuyasha's lap in their favorite tree branch, just sitting, enjoying eachother's company. Inuyasha turned Angela around, and kissed her on the lips. She let out a gasp, then let out a moan, when Inuyasha licked the tip of her tongue with his own. Angela pushed back, and looked at him. "What?" Inuyasha asked and tried to grab her again, but she pulled away. Inuyasha growled and yelled, "What is wrong?" Angela growled back. "I do not want to be kissing up here in the tree for people to be watching us to their hearts content!" "I don't care what others think! They can watch as long as they want for all I care! I want you. NOW!" Angela took in a big breath. "INUYASHA! I WILL NOT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME TO! I WILL DO WHAT I CHOOSE AND YOU WILL LISTEN AND WORK TOGETHER WITH ME!" Inuyasha fell out of the tree then, his ears were ringing, and it was obvious that she had won the fight, so he just sat down there, waiting for her to come down. He didn't have to wait long, for almost instantly she jumped gracefully down next to him, he looked down, his ears down pressed down on his skull, whispered so only she could hear, "I'm sorry Angela, I didn't mean to make you mad." He felt Angela stroking his ears, and her kissing them, whispering about how she accepted his apologies, and that she loved him, but that she did not want to be gawked at while they made out. Inuyasha understood, she was a shy, so he agreed to her wishes. He took her to where she wanted to go; A forest. Inuyasha was baffled. 'Why would she want to come here?' "Inuyasha" Inuyasha looked at Angela, and she smiled at him. "I want start teaching you magic." Inuyasha was excited! He imagined having super defeating attack magic. "What will I learn first?" "You will learn shields, that or healing, but it is best to do shields." Inuyasha looked at her like he thought she was kidding, then yelled: "WHAT! No, I want to do something awesome and powerful, not something stupid like defensive or healing." Angela looked at him, but not with anger like he thought he would see, more like amusement. "So you think defense is lame, as well as healing?" Inuyasha nodded, and she smiled, closed her eyes, and suddenly, a demon came out of the ground, and Inuyasha could not move. "What the hell did you do Angela?" "I am showing you my abilities in these aspects." Angela battled the demon, she used mostly shield, and it helped a lot, until she needed to attack, then she just had to put it with her barrier, and it worked! Angela had finally defeated the demon, and without a scratch on her. Inuyasha was released, and she continued her speak as if she never stopped, "besides, I do not want you to destroy the forest, because with attacks can be hard to control, and can destroy miles of land." Inuyasha nodded, understanding. "Okay, close your eyes, and imagine a bubble around you, protecting you from anything outside of it" Angela continued as Inuyasha concentrated as she told him to, and when he heard her gasp of pleasure, he looked, and gasped as well. Surrounding him was a clear bubble. "Is this right?" Angela nodded, and said: "Now try to have it cover me, instead of you." Inuyasha could do that instantly, his instincts trying to protect his future mate from dangers was one of his highest priorities. He finished with shields in just those two hours, but he was exhausted; According to Angela, was to be expected for the first few times. She kissed him, and took him to rest at Kagome's house before tomorrow.

Kagome was talking to Kurama's, or Suuichi's mother. When they had gotten there she was here, and Kurama went to have a shower, while she was stuck with his mother. Ms. Minamino was very cool, she told Kagome to call her by her name, and she had a thing for mythical creatures, and since Suuichi was born her favorite one has been demons. Shiori had a husband that she had just married five months ago, he had a son as well. She had met him when Kurama had just went in to his room, he tried to flirt with her, but neither Kagome, nor Shiori accepted that, and told him that she was taken, he seemed upset, but also happy that his brother finally had found a "woman that suited him". Shiori had just gotten him to leave when she touched Kagome's knee, and looked sincerely into her eyes, and said: "Kagome, I am glad that Suuichi has finally found you, and when you came here the last time, when you ran away so fast I had thought that he had hurt you and you would never speak to him again." Kagome nodded at that, glad that her little Shippo made her see that. They had just finished with the conversation, when a wet, but mostly dry, Kurama came into the living room and sat beside Kagome; Poor Shiori, she has no idea that her son is actually a demon thief, but no matter, I will make him tell her sooner or later, but my family MUST know, they would understand.' Kurama looked at Kagome, and she could see the question in his eyes: 'Should we tell her about us?' Kagome nodded, but said to Shiori, "Shiori, could you bring Kokoda and your husband here please? Me and Suuichi would like to tell you something." Shiori nodded, and went to find them all. When she finally rounded them all up, Kagome sat with Kurama facing Shiori, her husband, and Kokoda. Kagome took a deep breath and said that since this was Suuichi's family that he should tell them. "Mother, Father, brother, me and Kagome would like to tell you that we are engaged" He showed them the ring, they were stunned, Shiori spoke first: "Suuichi honey, are you sure you want to get married now? I mean, why do you not wait a few years from now, so you can get to know eachother better?" Kurama looked his mother straight in the eyes. "Because mother, we cannot wait, and we are not getting married now, we will wait until she is eighteen, and then we will marry, but we know eachother very well, it seems like we have known eachother for longer than two months, that is why we will marry then, it does not matter if you approve or not, we just wished to tell you." Kagome had barely heard anything past how long they knew eachother. 'We have only know eachother for two months? It seems to be much longer, I love him so much in such a short time.' When they finally left to her house his family was okay with them getting married, Shiori had actually been excited and could not wait for grandchildren, which made them both blush, but also made them happy to think of those same children later to come.
As they walked to Kagome's place, Kagome looked at Kurama. "So, are we going to tell my family everything?" Kurama sighed. "Yes Kagome, it is only right that they be told that their Kagome will be mating an legendary ex- kitsune thief." Kagome laughed and blushed at the thought. "Well, my grandpa would like that; the "legendary ex- kitsune thief" that stole my heart." Kurama growled lightly, and hugged her in an embrace, whispering: "Kagome, I did not steal your heart, if anything, you have stolen mine, as well as Youko's, and that is an accomplishment; stealing from the legendary thief." He chuckled lightly in her ear, making it tickle. He suddenly released her, but grabbed her hand, and kept walking. They had reached the shrine steps and just started to climb them, when they saw Angela and Inuyasha, he looked to be inconvenience while his head was on her lap. Kagome went over to Angela and Inuyasha. When Angela looked up, Kagome gave her a big smile. "Hi" Kagome whispered, "hello" Angela whispered back, watching how Inuyasha's left ear twitched in his sleep. Kagome looked at Kurama, and then realized that Inuyasha looked pale. "Angela, did something happen to Inuyasha?" Angela looked at her. "I was training him to use magic, it just tired him out is all." Kagome nodded, and with Kurama, went into the house. Right away Shippo was there, flying into her arms. "KAGOME! You're home, I've missed you." Kagome smiled lovingly to Shippo. "I've missed you to Shippo." then noticed the dirt smudges all over him. "Shippo, were you playing in the dirt?" Shippo nodded, and Kagome sighed, "time for your bath then." Shippo, smiled so happily, Kagome suspected that was the reason he got dirty. Kagome went up to the bathroom, closed the door, and got the warm water going. When the water was filling the bottom, she poured in some bubblebath and started removing Shippo's clothes. By the time Shippo had no clothes on, Kagome turned the water off, and put Shippo in, bringing down some shampoo and conditioner, she finished by telling him to call when he was clean, and done and left the bathroom.

Inuyasha's sense of smell woke up first, he could smell the scent of his princess Angela right beside him, he opened his eyes, at first it hurt, he was tilted so the sun was in his eyes, but as soon as he could see he saw Angela looking at him, and he could tell that she was not beside him, as he was on her lap, he wanted to blush and get up, but decided to stay where he was. He was content with Angela's, when he smelt a strong scent interlaced with her natural one, and it had him groan in understanding what the intoxicating smell was; she was going into heat! Inuyasha stiffened. 'Great, just great. I wait to marry her and before we do, she goes into heat! I will have a hard time controlling myself around her for a little while.' Angela looked at Inuyasha, and said: "Inuyasha, are you okay, you do not seem to be well" Inuyasha looked at her, and she knew right away that he was fighting himself, and she suddenly knew why, it was because she was probably going into heat, and here he was laying on her lap, right next to her... Angela shook herself, then, looking straight at him, she controlled her scent, and covered it, disallowing anyone to smell her. Inuyasha growled out in frustration, and Angela almost laughed out loud, and she whispered to him, "it so you can control yourself, and do not fear, I will release my scent when I am not in heat, I promise." and she sealed it with a kiss.
