Kagome woke the next morning laying on something soft and warm that smelled incredible. She opened her eyes and smiled lazily as everything that had happened the night before came back to her. She looked up and saw Inu Yasha smiling down at her.

"Morning, George," she said softly, her voice still full of sleep. Inu Yasha looked down at her confused and slightly angry.

"Who's this "George" and why did you call me him? Have you been waking up with a guy name George all the time and you forgot I wasn't him?" he asked, beginning to raise his voice. Kagome laughed. Inu Yasha just scowled.

"My, my, someone is a bit jealous. 'Morning George' is just an expression in my world. I promise I have not been sharing a bed with anyone let alone someone named George," she reassured him, laughing. Inu Yasha blushed embarrassed. He should've known better than that and he cursed himself for his reaction. He wasn't used to caring so much about anyone person or being so jealous. Kagome had changed all that though. He didn't like thinking of her with anyone else.

"Sorry," he said to her. "I guess I overreacted a little bit." They sat in silence before Kagome began to stir. "Where are you going?" he asked, trying to hold onto her and keep her in bed.

"The morning is growing late," she said, trying to get up. "Everyone, except maybe Sango, is probably worried about us." She finally freed herself from his grip and stood up with a blanket wrapped firmly around her. Inu Yasha chuckled at her efforts. "What's so funny?" she shot at him.

"You and you're modesty," was his response. "There is nothing that I didn't see, or touch for that matter, last night. Yet you still insist on covering yourself when it is obvious that we are the only ones here." She stuck her tongue out at him.

"You better watch it mister, or I'll be taking my bath alone." She turned and sauntered off to the spring.

Inu Yasha didn't hesitate before running after her screaming, "You didn't really mean that did you?"

ooOOoo

Kagome carefully folded the kimono back into the box before placing the chopsticks on top and closing the box. She had once again dressed in her school uniform (AN: now before everyone starts saying 'Where did she get it' she didn't change until she was already in the woods remember? She just went and got it from the near-by place she had left it) and was packing the remainder of the things at their campsite. Inu Yasha came over and slightly massaged her shoulders.

"You ready to go?" he asked her. He had dressed once again in his usual haori. His hair fell slightly over his shoulder, falling into her face. She nodded in response to his question. "Are you ok?" He had noticed slight tension in her shoulders.

"Yeah, I'm just kinda reluctant to see the night end."

"Don't worry; we'll make lots more like it. We just have to be careful in the future," he warned her. Kagome smirked.

"They have this thing called birth control, Inu Yasha."

"Not that. Well, that too, but that's not what I meant when I said we had to be careful," he told her. Kagome looked at him confused and he elaborated. "I wasn't expecting to fall asleep last night. We were venerable to whatever monster that decided it wanted to attack us. We have a completed jewel which makes us a big target. And now that you're my mate you're an even bigger target then if you were just the jewel bearer."

"I didn't think about it like that," she conceded. "I'm glad you did fall asleep though, despite the dangers."

"Why?" he questioned her, gathering the rest of their things.

"Because I'm sore enough this morning. Last night I was tired and sore. You would've died if you had made me move." She stood up and kissed him. "That, and there was no chance I was giving up my 'Morning After.'" He laughed softly at her antics.

"Well then, my love, I am glad I did not brave death." He slipped his hand in hers. "Time to go face the wolves. Let's go."

ooOOoo

They walked into Kaede's hut hand in hand. Minus Sango, who we should all know by now knows everything, everyone almost fell on the floor in shock. Everyone's mouth's hung open for a good minute. Kagome and Inu Yasha waited for everyone's shock to pass.

"Wha- wha- wha-" Miroku couldn't seem to spit a sentence out. Inu Yasha smirked. He was going to enjoy this. He put down the few possessions in his arms and then filled them with Kagome. He leaned down and then caught her lips in a heated kiss, rubbing his new-found relationship in the monk's face.

If everyone had almost fallen over before, they just about keeled over dead from this spectacle. Not only was Inu Yasha kissing Kagome but Kagome seemed to be a willing participant!

"Ok, enough of your spit swapping," Miroku growled. "Plus, Inu Yahsa, I thought you were gay." Sango smacked him upside the head.

"You better watch it Miroku or I'm gonna make it so you have to be gay," she threatened. Miroku, along with every other male in the room, flinched. Sango turned her gaze towards the couple. "I'm happy for the both of you. Were you planning to go home today, Kagome?"

"Ummm… no, but soon. Maybe in a couple of days. I mean I just got here and I've only collected two jewel-" She stopped as she realized there were no more jewel shards. She really didn't have a reason to stay any longer because her job here was done. In fact, she had promised to spend more time at home once it was finished. She just never thought that she would get to the point that the jewel was finished.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" Shippo asked, curious. Kagome pulled the completed jewel out of her shirt where it hung in it's usual place on a chain.

"The jewel is done?" Miroku was shocked. "When?"

"Last night. Inu Yasha gave it to me as one, of many, gifts," she told him.

"Are... are you going to leave us?" Shippo asked, looking as if he were ready to cry.

"No, of course not!" Kagome reassured him. She sat down next to Shippo and gave him a big hug. "But I can't stay as long now. Just for the weekends until the summer."

"Wha- why?" Inu Yasha demanded. They had just worked everything out and she was planning to spend less time? That was not at all when Inu Yasha had been thinking would happen. He thought that they would be able to spend more time alone, now that there were less demons to fight.

"My mother agreed to all this because she realized the importance of my work," Kagome told him. "The agreement was that once the jewel was finished, I went back to school on a regular basis."

"So… I'm only going to see you two days a week?" Inu Yasha was very disappointed but couldn't really argue. He couldn't ask her to go against her family's wishes, especially since they were also his family now. Their reaction to his and Kagome's particular bit of news was going to make relations tense enough. There was no reason to add to it.

"Unless you come visit me in my world," she suggested to him. "You could pick me up from school. I could show you off to my friends."

Inu Yasha smiled, realizing what she was hinting at.

"I'd be happy to pick you up," Miroku offered. Ohh if looks could kill…

"You'll do no such thing monk. And I would suggest you keep all you hentai ways to yourself," Inu Yasha threatened.

"Inu Yasha, do you distrust Kagome that much? Not a good basis for the beginning of a relationship," Miroku scolded him in a sing-song voice.

"I don't distrust her at all. But I trust you about as far as Shippo can throw an overly large spider demon."

"Stop it you two," Kagome interrupted. "Inu Yasha, you should show Miroku a little more respect. And Miroku, if you hit on me… I take no responsibility for what Inu Yasha does to you because he warned you. Now c'mon, Inu Yasha, help me pack to go home tomorrow."

ooOOoo

Inu Yasha jump out of the well and onto the floor of the shrine. He reached down and grasped Kagome's hand, helping her climb out of the well. She pulled herself over and started walking to the main house.

"Mom! I'm home! I have Inu Yasha with me!" she yelled when she got into the house. Her mother came out of the kitchen.

"Hello Kagome, Inu Yasha. It's good to see you. How was your trip dear?"

"Great mom. I actually have some, ummm, good news for you."

"What is it dear?" she asked while working on some dinner preparations.

"Well, we completed the jewel," she told her mother.

"That's wonderful honey! I'm so happy. But remember you said you'd go back to school," she gently reminded her daughter.

"I know. That's not all of the good news though. I found a… mate." She mumbled the word 'mate' inaudibly.

"I figured as much by the looks that Inu Yasha gave you when you two walked in," her mother responded, throwing the potatoes she was cutting into boiling water. Kagome just about fell on the floor in surprise. Was her mother really taking it this well? Kagome's mother patted Inu Yasha's shoulder. "If you're going to keep secrets I suggest you learn to hide the puppy looks. And I wouldn't inform Grandpa of this just yet. It'll be our little secret. By the way Kagome, Happy birthday, your presents are in your room." And with that she walked out as calm as day.

ooOOoo

Kagome was having a little more then hectic time at school. The second she had shown up at school with Inu Yasha her friends were jumping up and down with excitement. They couldn't even wait until she had finished kissing him goodbye before ripping her away telling Inu Yasha they had to go have 'girl talk' and then to top it all off she had pounds of homework to make up. She sighed again, slightly happy that she wasn't constantly visiting the feudal era anymore. She may not get to see everyone all the time but at least she didn't have work to make up.

She sauntered out of school exhausted, her bookbag hurting her shoulders because it was laden with so many books. She just wanted to go home and sleep. She sat down on the steps, though, still reluctant to go home. Inu Yasha said he had something to do and wouldn't be able to pick her up but she was still disappointed. She was hoping that having him around full time would allow them to spend more time together. Here it was their first day back to her time period and he was off doing his own thing.

Suddenly the world went dark as two hands covered her eyes. Just as she was about to kick who's ever ass it was that had decided to touch her, she heard a low, but very familiar, voice in her ear.

"Hey beautiful, guess who?"

Kagome swirled around and hugged Inu Yasha so hard he fell over. He laughed at her obvious joy.

"I'm glad to see you too," he said, hugging her.

"I thought you said that you weren't going to be here. You said you had something to do!" She ran her hands over his bare arms. Wait. Bare? Kagome quickly got to her feet and Inu Yasha sat up. He has on a black sleeveless shirt and jeans and a black cap to hide his ears. He smirked up at her.

"I was but it's pretty easy to find guys clothes around here." He stood up and pulled her towards him and kissed her, his tongue caressing hers. She pulled away for a minute.

"Inu Yasha, everyone's watching."

"I haven't seen you all day. I've been going mad and missed you incredibly and the fact that your "friends" pulled you away from me sooner then I would've liked this morning I really don't give a damn who's watching." Before she could continue her protests he kissed her again. When the kiss finally ended she was smiling up at him.

"C'mon lover boy. We better get home before we get arrested for misconduct."

ooOOoo
