Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha or any of the characters. I do NOT make any money from this or any other story.

This is the first novel length story I have ever tried writing, and actually only my second FanFiction. I promise that I will continue to work on it and update as often as I can, but unfortunately real life does have the driver's seat.

Chapter 10

Inuyasha lead the way to the wing of the house that he lived in. As they walked he pointed out different aspects of the house to her. They began to walk down a long hall, and about halfway down it Inuyasha pointed to a door, "That is Shippo's room." He stopped for a second and then continued, "I think we might want to wait until tomorrow morning to tell him that we are taking him with us. He will have enough excitement tonight." Kagome just nodded her head in agreement as they came to a stop at the end of the hall, in front of two very large doors.

Inuyasha pushed them open, led her inside, and closed the doors behind them. The room was laid out much like their new bedroom at home, but the balcony was attached to the study instead of the bed room. Their things had already been placed on one of his tables, so Inuyasha stepped forward towards them, but stopped when Kagome continued to keep her grip on his hand. He turned towards her and gave her a small smile as he leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss.

Kagome moaned into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him close to her. He ran his tongue along her lips and deepened the kiss the moment she opened her mouth to him. As they continued to kiss he placed his hands on her upper legs and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he held her in place. Once she pulled away she smiled down at him, "So according to your mom we have an hour before we are expected back downstairs." When he nodded his head, she continued, "I would love to take a bath, want to join me." Kagome just laughed as Inuyasha growled, and carried her to the bathroom. Once they reached the bathroom, Inuyasha set her on her feet and turned to his bathtub. He turned it on and allowed it to start filling up, before he started to undress. They both stripped out of the clothes and set them aside. They really weren't dirty and they both planed on putting them back on. They both had their hair pulled back but tied it up so that it would be kept out of the water. Once Inuyasha turned off the water he stepped in and held out his hand to help her step in.

Kagome stepped into the bathtub, but instead of sitting down with her back to Inuyasha, she settled herself facing him. The bath tub was large enough that four adults could have easily fit, so they had plenty of room for what she had planned. She looked at him for a moment, noticing his amused smirk, before she moved closer to him. She leaned into him placing her lips on his and began a deep kiss as one hand traced a path down his chest and stomach, to finally wrap around his dick. He was already half erect, but when she began to stroke him he responded immediately. She smiled into the kiss as he gave a small groan, and used her free hand to capture one of his. She took his hand and led it down to her center, spreading her legs to give him more accesses. She moaned as he began to dip a finger inside of her, rubbing her clit and nub with another. He added a second finger and began to thrust in and out of her hard as her wetness grew.

They both broke the kiss and began to pant and moan, as the orgasm grew closer. Picking up the speed and strength of their strokes they soon brought each other over the edge with strangled cries. Inuyasha captured Kagome in a kiss as he wrapped his hands around her waist. He lifted her up and moved her so that she was straddling his erection, and began to slowly lower her on to it.

Kagome cried out as he began to slowly fill her, stretching her. She placed her hands on his shoulder and began to ride him. Inuyasha brought his hand up to play with her breast, as she began to rise herself up and down. He threw back his head, crying, "Harder, please Kags…Faster", and dropped his hand to her waist to help her pick up her speed. Kagome went as fast as she could, slamming down with all her might, trying to bring them both over the edge. She threw her head back moaning, and gave a sharp cry as she came. She forced herself to continue her movements until she heard his strangled grunt and felt his seed coat her. Once he stopped emptying in her she came to a stop and laid her head on his shoulders.

Inuyasha reached up and stroked the back of her neck, as they just held each other. Eventually he felt her, raise herself off of him, and he moaned at the loss of her heat, but allowed her to settle herself in the water next to him. Slowly he turned around and captured her in a gentle kiss. When he released her he reached behind him and grabbed a wash cloth and soap and began to wash her off.

Kagome giggled as he began to clean her, but allowed him to continue. When he finished she took the rag from him and washed him in turn. Eventually they stood, drained the water, grabbed towels and their clothing, and made their way into his room.

They took their time getting dressed. Kagome put on a pair of flip-flops instead of putting her tennis shoes back on, and took her hair out of her tie. She let it fall down her shoulders, and ran her fingers through it a couple of times to help it fall the way she wanted it. Inuyasha also exchanged his shoes for a pair of sandals and let his hair down from the tight bun on the top of his head, but instead of letting it hang lose he pulled it back by tying a leather band around it at the base of his neck.

As Inuyasha finished tying his hair back Kagome dug around in her backpack, pulling out her camera and the DVD with the pictures of their house. She straightened up and turned around to find Inuyasha sitting on the bed, playing with something in his hand, and watching her. She moved towards him, and as she did she realized that he was not actually looking at her, instead he was looking through her, lost in his own train of thought. She walked up and stood next to him and placed a hand lightly on his shoulder. Her light touch was enough to snap him out of his thoughts and back to reality. Turning his eyes to her face he smiled at her and placed a hand over hers, giving it a squeeze.

"Inuyasha, do you want me to bring down the DVD with pictures tonight, or save it for later?" She asked, holding up the DVD in question.

Inuyasha thought about it for a moment and then said, "Why don't you bring it, and we will have it if they decide they want to see it tonight." He paused and looked down at what he had in his hand. Kagome followed his gaze and saw her engagement ring, as he spoke, "I'm not sure how I'm going to purpose this time." He said a little shyly and then added, "I had been dreaming about being able to propose to you for seven years, thinking about what I would say if I ever got the chance, and I have already said that."

Kagome just laughed at him, and when he looked a little hurt she said softly, "Love, I am already yours, and we are already engaged, this is just to make your family happy. Trust me, it does not matter what you say, my answer will be the same as it was the other night." She paused slightly and then added in a lower, sexy voice, "Too bad we will have to find another way to celebrate this time. I'm already your mate."

Inuyasha let out a low growl and grabbed her around the waist. She squeaked as he drug her into his lap and buried his nose in her neck; pulling her shirt away and giving her mark a little nip and lick. He felt the shiver go through her at the contact, and whispered huskily in her ear, "Keep talking like that and we won't make it to dinner." He paused as she giggled a little and then added, in a devious tone, "I have seven years worth of fantasies I'm just dying to try, trust me we will find a way to celebrate."

Kagome raised herself up on her knees and straddled his lap, making sure that her chest was clearly in his line of site, and then leaned over. She blew lightly in to one ear and then ran a tongue along the outside, smirking as he groaned. She felt his hands reach on and grab her ass, pulling her closer to him. Leaning in she whispered, "You aren't the only one with seven years worth of Fantasies. I might have been alone all this time but it was your face, your eyes, your voice, your mouth, your hands, and your dick that made me cum every time I touched myself." She heard him groan again as she continued, "You are the only one I have ever wanted, the only one I have ever been with, and the only one I ever dreamed about. You are the only one that will ever make me writher in pleasure and the only one whose name I want to scream." She pulled away and settled herself in his lap. Then making sure to grind hard against his erection, she stood up and held out a hand for him.

Looking deep in to her lust filled gaze, Inuyasha took a moment to get his breathing under control. Standing, he took her hand and pulled her against him, making sure she could feel his erection. Wrapping his hand around her waist he pulled her hard into him. He looked into her eyes, and said "Can you feel what you do to me, how badly I want you. I spent the last 7 years dreaming of you. Dreaming of seeing you, being with you, holding you, touching you. Seven years of dreaming about being inside of you, making you scream my name, making love to you in the most erotic ways. I spent seven years, seven lonely years, picturing you, laying naked before me as I tried to bring myself relief."

They looked at each other, feeling their bodies heat up from desire. Longing to touch one another, but struggling to control themselves. It took them both some time, but eventually they were able to regain some composure. Eventually Inuyasha let her go and allowed her to step away from him. Smiling he shook his head and said, "And now I will have the next seven thousand years getting to make some of those fantasies come true. Come on love, much more of this talk and we definitely won't be making it down stairs for dinner.

Kagome just laughed as he took her hand and led the way down stairs and towards the back yard. They could hear music playing and Kagome smiled at the song, "Now I know where you got such good taste in music. I always thought it was strange that You, Miroku, and I were the only ones in our year that liked the kind of music we did."

Inuyasha just chuckled, "Yeah Miroku, Sesshomaru, and I always caught shit about it." He then pushed the door open and led her out to the back porch. It was a beautiful evening. Not a cloud in the sky and was cool enough that they wouldn't have to worry about any insects. The deck was a large two level deck. The top level contained a large glass table and chairs, along with a couple other lounge chairs spread around. On the lower deck was a smaller table that was currently being used to hold food. On the far side of the deck were two large grills, one gas and one charcoal. The gas grill was already smoking. On the other side of the grill was a bar, with many different bottles of liquor covering it.

No one else was on the deck yet, so Inuyasha led Kagome over to the bar. They approached it and started looking at all that was offered. There was wine, beer, liquor, cokes, water, and a bunch of other stuff. Kagome looked at Inuyasha and asked, "What do you want to drink love?"

He thought about it for a moment and asked, "What was that that you made the night we got back?"

Kagome thought back, trying to remember what the drink was. At the time there had been other things on her mind, and a lot had happened since then, but eventually she said, "It was probably one of my lemonades. Why do you want one?"

Inuyasha smiled down at her, "If you wouldn't mind making me one"

Kagome just smiled shaking her head, "Of course not love. I could go for one anyway." She stepped around to the other side of the bar and began to pull out the ingredients that she needed, while Inuyasha leaned against the bar, watching her. As she was looking around for a sprite the rest of the group came out, and walked over to the two. Kagome found what she was looking for and stood back up. She saw them making their way over and waved at them.

As they approached Rin asked, "What are you making Kags?"

Kagome smiled at her and said, "It's called a Special Lemonades. It's a creation my brother and I came up with."

Rin looked interested and asked, "Care to make me one?"

Kagome laughed and shook her head, "Sorry sweetheart but the special park of it is Vodka, but I'll make you one once the baby comes."

Rin frowned, "Damn" she said "Oh well I guess it's just a coke for me"

Kagome laughed and dug out a coke, poured it in a glass and handed it to her friend. Then she turned to the others, "I was about to make one for Inuyasha and myself, would anyone else like one?"

They all looked at her for a moment and then nodded their heads. Izayoi said, "You know you don't have to do that Kagome."

Kagome just smiled at her, "I know Mrs. Takanaka…" but she stopped short at the look on the woman's face and said, "Um…sorry Mom. Damn that's going to take some getting use to." The other's just laughed as Kagome continued. "I'm use to do things for myself, plus I've helped my brother out at his restaurant before when he needed it, and he always put me working the bar, so I'm actually becoming a pretty good bar tender."

Tashiou just smiled at the girl and said, "Well I would love one Kagome."

Kagome nodded her head and said, "Sure thing, 5 lemonades coming up." She began to dig out enough ingredients to make them all, as she worked Izayoi asked, "So your brother owns a restaurant?"

Kagome nodded her head, "Yes ma'am, it's called Shards, and he owns it with his girlfriend, Hitome. She's a really cute panther demon. I keep expecting them to end up mates and get engaged any time."

Izayoi smiled at her, "I remember seeing pictures of Sota when you and Inuyasha were dating. Your mom sent me some. What do you do?"

Kagome handed out the drinks to everyone and they made their way to the table as she answered, "I work for the safety division of SNT Corporation."

Everyone looked at Inuyasha when she said it so he answered their unspoken question, "I did not know that Kagome worked there until I met up with her again." He paused and then looked amused as he added, "Though I think Miroku did. As it turns out he works for one of their other divisions."

Kagome laughed a little, "Yeah I kind of believe that Miroku has had his hand in this deeper then we know." She then turned back to Izayoi and finished answering her question, "I graduated from college with a degree in English and was hired by SNT to be the Administrative Support Supervisor. I am in charge of supervising all of the administrative staff and I help out with our Consultants when needed. I did report to the President, but now I guess that I will be reporting to Inuyasha." She smiled up at him with pride written all over her face.

Izayoi started to ask her another question but stopped as a man made his way out on the deck. He approached Tashiou and bowed deeply to him, "My Lord, young master Shippo just returned, but Myoga insisted that he go upstairs and have a bath before he comes down."

The others laughed as Tashiou shook his head smiling, "Thank you Mushin. I appreciate your help tonight in preparing dinner. It is nice to be able to spend time with Inuyasha and Kagome without having to deal with cooking."

Mushin bowed again, "It is no problem my Lord. If you are all ready I will start cooking."

Tashiou just nodded his head and watched as the old man made his way to the grill. Izayoi then turned back to Kagome, "It sounds like both your brother and yourself are doing well. I am sure that your mother must be very proud of you both."

Kagome's smile faltered as she looked at her mother-in-law, "Mamma died of cancer two years ago, while Sota and I were both still in college." Kagome paused a moment to gather her thoughts and then continued, her smile returning to her face, "Sota and I have been living in the same Apartment complex since we both graduated College. He lives with Hitome, and I live in an apartment directly above them. We also have one of our best friends living in the same complex a few buildings over, so I have been surrounded by family."

Izayoi smiled, a little sadly at her, "I'm sorry to hear about Taka. I always loved talking to her and know that she was very upset when you and Inuyasha broke up." She paused and looked at the two and then said, "I am sure she would be very proud of the life that you have made for yourself."

Kagome nodded but did not comment; instead she continued to smile up at Inuyasha. He put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him, placing a kiss on her forehead. The other's watched this with smiles on their faces, but before they could say anything else, or ask any questions, everyone's attention was diverted by a small child, with flaming red hair, running towards them squealing, "INUYASHA" at the top of his lungs.

Inuyasha just laughed as Kagome set up and let him scoop the little kid into his arms. He gave the kit a tight squeeze until he squealed a little and then released him. He stood him up in his lap so that he could look him in the eyes and smiled at him, "Hey Shippo. Have you been good for everyone while I've been gone?"

Shippo nodded his head, "Yes sir I have." He then threw his arms around Inuyasha again and said, "I'm so glad you are home." Inuyasha just held the little boy close and smiled at Kagome, who had been watching him.

Kagome could not help but smile at the two. Shippo was one of the cutest kids she had ever seen. He had bright red hair, green eyes, and a bushy tail that was currently moving back and forth. He was looking at Inuyasha like any son would look at their father and it warmed Kagome's heart. Inuyasha look so natural holding the little kid that she knew he would be great with their own children when they had them.

Inuyasha gave her a small wink and then let go of the kit. He turned Shippo around so that he could see Kagome, "Shippo I want to introduce you to someone." Shippo eyed her with big round eyes and began to sniff the air, as Inuyasha continued, "Shippo this is Kagome."

Kagome smiled at the little kid and waited to see what he would do. Slowly he turned back to Inuyasha and said in a voice, that was meant to be a whisper, but carried to them all, "She smells like you Inuyasha." Everyone stifled their laughs as Inuyasha began to turn a little red, but said, "That's because Kagome is my Mate Shippo"

Shippo thought for a moment and then asked, "You mean like Aunt Rin and Uncle Sesshomaru, or Grandma and Grandpa." Inuyasha nodded down at him and the kid thought about it for a few more minutes. His gaze kept drifting between Inuyasha and Kagome. Suddenly he threw himself into Kagome's arms, who caught him easily, and said to her, "So does that mean you are my momma now"

Kagome just smiled down at him as she heard Rin whisper, "Out of the mouth of babes". She smiled at him and pulled him into a hug and whispered just for him to hear, "Of course. That is if you want me to be."

Shippo hugged her back. When she let him go he turned to face everyone and said in a matter of fact tone and rather proudly "Inuyasha is my daddy and Kagome is my momma."

There was silence for a split second then everyone else broke out into laughter, while the kit beamed up at his two new parents, who were laughing and smiling down at him. Eventually the laughter died out and Mushin announced that dinner was ready. Inuyasha tried to take Shippo back from Kagome but the Kit just clung to her and wouldn't move, so instead he sighed and helped his mate stand. While holding Shippo in her arms the three made their way behind to others and waited for their turn to fix their plates. Inuyasha fixed a plate for Shippo and helped Kagome fix hers and then took them back to the table for them. He set Shippo's down in front of the chair next to Kagome as she set the kit down. Shippo situated himself and then waited patiently for Inuyasha to go fix his plate and return to the table. Once he was seated, Izayoi indicated that they should begin, and there was silence for a few moments while everyone began their meal. After a little while Rin looked up at Kagome and Inuyasha and asked, "I was wondering if you would tell us what happened while you were gone Inuyasha." When Inuyasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow she clarified, "How did you find Kagome so soon?"

He looked over at Kagome for permission to tell the story and when she nodded he said, "I had stopped about few hours outside of Jackson to fill my car up and get some food. I had gotten my food and was looking for a seat when I ran into her, quite literally." They continued to look at him expectantly so he resigned himself to the fact that he would have to at least give them an abbreviated version of what had happened over the past few days so he continued, "We talked for about an hour and when we got ready to leave Kagome gave me her number and offered to show me the way. I called her along the way and asked if she knew a hotel I could stay at, but instead she invited me to stay with her. When we got to her apartment, her brother was there and so were Kagome's friend Sango and Sango's boyfriend, who happened to be Miroku." He paused for a moment and looked at Kagome; he wasn't sure how much she wanted them to know.

Kagome saw his hesitation so she continued, "My phone rang when I got there and it was Kaede, the president of my division, she asked me to come in the next morning and interview the new VP candidate that turned out to be Inuyasha. After I got off the phone with her and the others went to dinner. Inuyasha and I went up to the apartment and ordered dinner. We talked and cleared up things between us. The next day after the interview we went and met Sota, Hitome, Sango, Miroku, Ayame, and Koga at Sota's restaurant and had dinner. When we got home that night I agreed to become Inuyasha's mate."

She paused for a second and glanced at Inuyasha, when he nodded she continued, "We invited Sota, Hitome, Sango and Miroku over for lunch yesterday and then afterwards we took them with us to look at a house. They agreed to move in with Inuyasha and me."

Shippo looked up from his plate with wide eyes and began to ask a question, but Inuyasha forestalled him, "Shippo you need to finish your dinner and then it's your bed time. Kagome and I will talk to you tomorrow about the house alright. Do you want any dessert before you go to bed?"

Shippo looked at him for a second and then shook his head and placed the last bite in his mouth. He swallowed it and looked at Izayoi, "Grandma, Can I be excused now?"

She smiled at him, "Sure sweetheart, off to bed with you."

Shippo nodded his head and jumped down to give everyone a hug, before running off to his bedroom. Kagome watched him go and looked at the others in amazement, "He is so well behaved and so…" she thought for a moment and then ventured, "so advanced for a four year old, even a demon."

Tashiou just nodded his head in agreement, "He has always been that way."

They fell silent for a few minutes and then Izayoi asked with a smile on her face, "So you say that you two found a house. Did you bring any pictures for us to see?"

Inuyasha nodded his head and said, "Yeah we did, do you want to look at them after we have dessert?"

Rin squealed, "I can't wait to see them, I bet it is beautiful"

Inuyasha looked at her and then said, "It is." He then looked at his mom and asked, "Do you want me to go see about dessert?"

Izayoi studied him for a moment and then nodded her head, "Mushin was working on something for us."

Inuyasha nodded his head in understanding and then smiled at Kagome, "I'll be back in a few minutes love. Do you want your camera or do you want me to take it back to the room when I go?

Kagome thought for a moment and then sighed, "Would you take it back. I kind of forgot that I brought it down with me. I was going to take some pictures but it's too dark now."

Inuyasha smiled and placed a kiss on her lips, "Don't worry love, there is plenty of time for that." He then stood up and grabbed her camera and made his way back inside.

Once he left Tashiou stood up and said, "I need to see to a few things while we wait. If you would excuse me I will be back in a few minutes." As he walked away Sesshomaru got up to follow saying, "I'll help you father" and the two left the three women sitting there alone.

Kagome had the strangest impression that this was planed as Izayoi and Rin continued to stare at her. She did her best to hold their gaze and wait for one of them to speak, but after a couple of minutes that did not seem likely to happen. So instead she stood and walked down to take a seat directly across from them, doing her best to put a smile on her face she said, "Alright, you two. Go ahead and ask. I can tell there is something burning a hole into your brains."

Izayoi and Rin looked at each other for a moment and then Izayoi said, "Kagome, I know that Inuyasha is my son and everything, but…" Then she stopped as if unable to find the words. She looked at Rin so Rin quietly offered, "He was an asshole to you in the past."

Izayoi just laughed and said, "Yeah that will work."

Rin looked at Kagome and said, "Kagome, I know that Inuyasha loves you. I've known it since I started dated Sesshomaru, but he hurt you back then. I know we weren't extremely close when we were at school, and I don't know what really happened back then, but everyone in both of our years knew how much he hurt you." She paused for a moment and looked at Izayoi, and then said, "I guess what we want to know is why did you forgive him so soon?"

Kagome looked at them for a moment, debating the best way to answer. Eventually she sighed and said, "The simple answer is that I love him."

Izayoi looked at her and said, "What's the contemplated answer?"

Kagome laughed a little and smiled, "Should have known that wouldn't work. Are you sure you want to know?" When Izayoi nodded her head Kagome said, "We were young back then and had only been together for 8 months, but already we had fallen hard for each other, and I mean hard. I was truly distraught when he ended it, and it took me years to even begin to move on. The truth is that I have never been with anyone else, in any way. It didn't matter how much Inuyasha hurt me, I still loved him, and could never fall for anyone that I tried to date. They just couldn't live up to the love I had for him. Yes he hurt me, and I will never forget that, but I can forgive him. I have never felt so happy, so loved, or so complete except when I'm with him. Everything, and I mean everything, about him truly makes me happy."

Rin looked like she wanted to make a comment, but with a look from Kagome stopped; she would have to wait until Izayoi wasn't there. Kagome wasn't use to discussing certain things with her. Instead she consented herself to staring at the pair before her. Izayoi was looking at Kagome with tears in her eyes, "Oh Kagome…" she said but seemed unable to say any more. Instead she pulled her into a hug.

They were still hugging when Inuyasha, Tashiou, and Sesshomaru returned. Inuyasha stood there watching the scene with a smile on his face and then said, "Hey mom, that hug was mine."

Izayoi pulled away and the women stood up waiting for the men to join them. When Inuyasha reached them he pulled his mother into a hug and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He then addressed anyone, "Mushin is taking the dessert to the lounge. I thought we might eat it in there and look at the pictures of the house." The others agreed and started to walk that way but Inuyasha said, "Hold up guys, there is something I want to say before everyone goes in."

The others turned and looked at Inuyasha as he stood a little in front of Kagome. He gave them all a quick look and then turned to face Kagome. She saw him reach into his pocket and knew that he was reaching for her ring. She knew it meant a lot to Inuyasha to be able to do this in front of his family so she just keep a small smile on her face as she watched him. He didn't drop to one knee this time; instead he stepped up to her and took her hand in his. She heard Izayoi and Rin gasp as he slid the ring on her finger, but kept her attention on the man in front of her. He looked into her eyes and taking a deep breath said in a low clear voice, "Kagome, you are my love, my heart, my soul, and my Mate. You are the air I breathe and my reason for living. I love you Kagome. Please be my wife."

Kagome had tears in her eyes, despite this being the second time he had proposed in as many days. His eyes held so much love that she couldn't help it. She smiled up at him and said in a shaky voice, "Yes Inuyasha…yes" and raised herself up and captured his mouth in a passionate kiss, not even caring about the four other people watching them. While they kissed they were in their own world, and they were the only people that mattered. Slowly she broke the kiss and looked up at him. He smiled back down at her and gave her a little wink before turning to face his family, and wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

Izayoi and Rin had tears in their eyes, while Tashiou and Sesshomaru were smiling at the couple. Inuyasha pulled his mother into a hug and watched with amusement as a very pregnant Rin tackled Kagome. Kagome laughed and kept them from falling as she hugged her friend back. Kagome and Inuyasha took their turns hugging everyone else present and accepting their congratulations, before Inuyasha reminded them that they were supposed to be in the lounge. He took Kagome's hand and the two led the way.

As they entered they saw 6 dishes of Crème Brule and 6 cups of coffee. They all sat down and took their desserts as Inuyasha cut on the large TV and flipped it over to the DVD player, in which he had already placed the DVD with pictures. Everyone turned their attention to the TV as the pictures began to scan through. There was a collective gasp as the first picture came up and from that time forward all eyes were glued to the TV. Kagome had not only taken pictures of the house, but all the property surrounding the house and even the drive. It took about 30 minutes for them to go through all the pictures with Inuyasha telling them what rooms they were looking at or what part of the property. As the last few pictures flashed up they all laughed at some of the funny poses the group had taken. The show stopped and the last picture remained on the screen as all eyes turned to look at Kagome. The longer they stared the more she began to blush; finally she couldn't stand it any longer she said, "Alright what are you looking at."

Inuyasha was the first to find his voice, he looked at her and said quietly, "Kags I remember you having an eye for Photography when we were younger but those were amazing."

Kagome blushed as she looked at him, finally she shrugged and said, "It just one of my hobbies, that's all. I don't have the time or the equipment to do more than mess around a little with it."

Tashiou was the next one to speak, "Inuyasha is right Kagome those are absolutely amazing."

She smiled at him, still blushing, and said, "Thank you…dad" she really wasn't use to all this attention. Sango, Hitome, and Sota always told her that she was good, but she kind of just figured that they were being nice.

Rin laughed a little and said, "I know that look Kags. I promise you they are not just telling you that because you are family. I remember seeing some of your work at school, but I must say you have gotten even better since then. Do you have any more of your work with you?"

When Kagome nodded a little dumbly, Sesshomaru asked gently, "Would you be willing to show us some more later on?"

Again all she could do was nod. Izayoi smiled sweetly at her as she stood up and held out a hand to her mate. When Tashiou stood next to her she said, "Well it's settled then. We will have another show and tell tomorrow some time. I can't wait to see what else you have taken pictures of." She laughed at the look on Kagome's face and said, "Well it's late I think I am going to bed." They said goodnight to everyone and made their way from their room.

Once they were gone the other four stood and started to move towards the door as well. They walked together in silence until they reached to stairs that led up to Inuyasha and Kagome's part of the house. They stopped as Sesshomaru said, "I am glad to see you both so happy again. I know how hard it has been for you Inuyasha all these years, and I can imagine what you went through Kagome. I am happy that you have found each other again."

Inuyasha pulled Kagome close and said, "So am I brother. So am I"

Sesshomaru nodded his head and then asked, "Can I assume that you are planning on taking Shippo back with you to Jackson?" when Inuyasha nodded his head Sesshomaru continued, "That is probably for the best. We all love Shippo, but he is happiest when you are around." Again Inuyasha just nodded as Sesshomaru took Rin's hand and said, "Good night, we will see you at breakfast."

"Good night" Kagome called as they walked away.
