INYUSHA AND THE AVENGERS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS I'M JUST BORROWING THEM.
Kagome and Bruce sat down on the sofa, she took his hands in hers and look deep into his eyes.
"What I'm about to tell you is kind of hard to believe, but I swear, Bruce, that I'm telling you the truth. When I was 15 years old something incredible happened to me, it all started when Souta lost Buyo in the wellhouse…"
Kagome went on to tell Bruce everything that happened, from the minute Mistress Centipede, grabbed her to the minute the Jewel was wished away. She told him everything about Inuyasha, about how much she loved him but in the end, he chose Kikyo of her and went to hell with her. It took several hours for Kagome to tell her story and the whole time Bruce sat there in utter silence. When she was finished, she sat there and waited for Bruce to say something. He sat there for several minutes with an astonished look on his face, he finally took a deep breath and sighed.
"You're not joking are you?"
Kagome shook her head, "No, Bruce, it's not a joke, as a matter of fact, I have pictures, hold on."
Kagome went upstairs and grabbed her photo album, she came downstairs and sat down next to Bruce. She opened the photo album to the first page and then placed it in his lap.
"See this is my Feudal Era family. This is Sango the Demon Exterminator, Miroku the monk, Inuyasha, Kouga, Ginta and Hakaku, from the Eastern Wolf Demon tribe, this is Shippou-"
"Wait, as in Shippou from the office Shippou," Bruce asked.
Kagome smiled at him and nodded, "Yep that's my little boy, I adopted Shippou after his father had been slaughter by the Thunder Brothers, but after I came back to the modern era, Sesshomaru raised him."
"Sesshomaru Taisho?"
"The very same one," Kagome turned the page and showed him a picture of what Sesshomaru looked like during the Feudal Era, "See this is him back then and this is him in his turn form."
She pointed at the picture of the giant dog.
"You're joking."
"Nope," Kagome said with a giggle.
"This is unbelievable," Bruce tells Kagome.
"Well, believe it."
Bruce sets the photo album down on the coffee table and turns to Kagome, he chuckles then rubs his face.
"Well, at least now I don't feel like a cradle robber, considering that you were in love with a guy 500 years older than you."
Kagome giggles and slaps his arm playfully, "I'm glad you don't, now would you like to continue where we left off?"
"Oh, definitely,"
Bruce leans in and captures Kagome's lips. He places his hands on her waist as he deepens the kiss and lifts her onto his lap so she's straddling him. Kagome wraps her arms around his neck as he licks her bottom lip asking for entrance. She opens her mouth and lets him explore her mouth and caress her tongue. They eventually break away for much-needed air and Bruce places his forehead against hers.
"Wow," Kagome whisper.
"You can say that again."
"Wow," Kagome says and Bruce chuckles.
Bruce wraps his arms around Kagome and holds her close, "So I guess this means we're together."
"I would hope so, I mean I don't go around making out with men who are not my boyfriend," Kagome tells him.
"Oh, then I am definitely your man," Bruce tells her and Hulk rumbles in his head.
"Mate."
Bruce couldn't help but agree with him, there was no way he was letting Kagome get away from him now. They stayed in that position for another half hour until Bruce realized that Kagome had fallen asleep against him. He smiled and stood up, cradling her in his arms Bruce walked up the stairs and put Kagome to bed. He covered her up and kissed her forehead then went to his room and got ready for bed. Bruce laid down and put his hands behind his head, he couldn't believe how this night had gone. He thought for sure he was going to lose Kagome, but everything ended up working out perfectly. Bruce smiled and closed his eyes, he drifted off to the sound of Hulk rumbling in contentment.
The next morning, Bruce got up to the smell of breakfast being made. He gathered his clothes and headed for the shower. Once he was dressed he headed downstairs where he found Kagome cooking breakfast. Bruce smiled and came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her neck. Kagome smiled and turned around in his arms. She wrapped her arm around his neck and leaned up to kiss him on the lips.
"Good morning, my beauty."
"Good morning, Handsome, would you like some breakfast?"
"Could I have another kiss first?"
"Of course," Kagome tells Bruce with a smile.
They lean in and start making out, then they suddenly hear from the doorway..."
"I knew it, Emiko says with a smile.
Surprised, Kagome and Bruce jump apart, Bruce and Kagome are both bright red. Bruce clears his throat and pats his hair down from where Kagome had tangled her fingers in it.
"Emiko, we didn't hear you."
"No, I wouldn't think you would, judging from that kiss," Emiko tells Bruce with a giggle.
"I'm sorry about that."
"Don't apologize, Bruce, I've been waiting months for you two to get together."
Bruce and Kagome look at each other, "You have?" They say at the same time.
"Of course, I could see the mutual attraction between the two of you almost from the beginning."
"You don't mind that I'm older than Kagome," Bruce asked.
"Oh, please, Bruce, Inuyasha was far older, and I didn't mind, but I never thought he was the right person for Kagome. There was just something missing between them, I knew they cared about each other but it wasn't enough. You two are different, I could tell from the moment Kagome brought you home that there was something special about you aside from the Hulk. I knew you would be able to make her happy, Bruce, and judging by the look on her face I was right."
"Thank you, Emiko."
"You're welcome, Bruce, now why don't you let me handle breakfast, Kagome, you and Bruce can set the table."
"Okay, Mom, and thank you."
"You're welcome, Kagome Dear, I just want you to be happy."
"I am, I love you, Mom."
"I love you too."
After breakfast, Bruce and Kagome went out into the forest so that they could let Hulk out and they could see if Hulk would let Bruce into his mind. They sat across from each other and held hands, Bruce took a deep breath and let Hulk take over. Instantly Bruce transformed into the Hulk. Hulk shook his head then looked at Kagome and smiled.
"'GOME BANNER'S MATE," He tells her.
Kagome blushes and smiles at Hulk, "I hope so Hulk," she tells him as she takes his hand, "Will you let Bruce into your mind?"
Hulk thinks about it, then nods. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. When he opens them he smiles at Kagome.
"Bruce?"
Hulk only nods.
Kagome squeals and jumps up to hug Hulk, "Good job, Hulk now Bruce can help you if you ever have to go into battle.
Hulk's brow furrows, "Banner help Hulk?"
"Yes, of course, you two can talk to each other now, he'll help you make the right decisions when you have problems," Kagome tells Hulk.
Hulk smiles then closes his eyes, suddenly he shrinks down back to Bruce. Kagome is startled at first, normally Hulk wants to spend more time with her. She finds it odd that he suddenly changed back. Kagome quickly gets up and grabs a blanket to cover Bruce. Bruce opens his eyes and smiles at Kagome.
"Bruce, what happened?"
"I'll tell you in a minute, let me get dressed first."
Kagome hands him a pair of pants then turns around. She stands there for a few minutes then she feels a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. Bruce begins to nibble on her neck causing Kagome to moan. He twirls her around and kisses her passionately. Kagome runs her fingers through Bruce's salt and pepper hair and gives him a light tug causing him to growl. Kagome suddenly pulled away from Bruce.
"Not that I mind, but why did Hulk let you come back so soon?"
Bruce grinned at Kagome, "Hulk wants us to and I quote, 'go play.' So let's go play.
Kagome giggles and hugs Bruce, "What do you want to go play?"
"How about we take this blanket, go down to the stream, lay it out and lay out under the trees for a while?"
"That's it?"
"Oh, well, we could make out if you want," Bruce says with a cheeky grin.
"Now that's my idea of playing, Dr. Banner."
"Good mine too, come on let's go."
Bruce takes Kagome by the hand and they stroll off towards the stream.
