Chapter Thirteen: The Proposal
Thoughts of his beloved nanny fresh in his mind, the young lord soars through the skies into the blackened night. Holding onto Kirara's fur tightly neko and inu fly silently through the storm slowly approaching Fair Verona. Hanging out above, rain clouds pouring out their bountiful harvest of tears, beast and rider soon land. Hopping off of the giant feline's back, Inuyasha sneaks stealthily towards his young lover's balcony. Picking up a tiny pebble and tossing it at the glass barrier of her bed chamber, it isn't long before the ebony haired maiden appears in her night gown. Opening up the doors, warm feet colliding with damp stone, the enchanting princess stares down at her beloved. Holding a rain kissed rose between his finger tips, Kagome bursts into tears at the sight of her prince. It felt like forever and a day since she had last gazed upon his handsome features. Climbing up the vines of her balcony, youkai and mortal soon meet. Tangled hair, entwined fingers, and sheer perfection were the fruits of this bliss filled meeting.
"I knew you'd come." Kagome cries clutching onto Inuyasha's soaked form. "I just knew you'd come back for me."
"How could I forget thee?" Inuyasha asks pressing his soft appendages to hers. "You are the sun in which I revolve around. I cannot be without you."
"My lord, my dearest Inuyasha, please take me far away. For I cannot bear the flames of duty which consume me daily." Kagome begs looking at him desperation evident in her mocha orbs.
"Where shall I take thee?" Inuyasha smiles kiss her forehead. "Your wish shall be my command."
"To the moon, no the stars. My lord, I care not where you take me as long as it be with you." Kagome responds wrapping her slender arms around his neck.
"You'd follow me to the grave, my beautiful cherubim?" Inuyasha questions a flicker of agony dancing across his golden eyes.
"Why speak of death when we can chant eternal love? What worries you?" Kagome wonders touching his cheek ever so gently.
"Our love is forbidden." Inuyasha sighs tenderly pulling her closer to his mid-section. "I feel the flames alone should be mine to bear."
"Speak no such non-sense." Kagome scolds tapping his cheek lightly. "One person alone cannot a sinful crime. I should share in the punishment."
"Are you sure your other proposal would not make thee happy?" Inuyasha asks looking deeply into her eyes.
"I will have none of which you say." Kagome replies venom seething from her lips. "I loath him."
"And you'd face the gates of hell with me?" Inuyasha questions as she takes his head in her hands.
"Yes, yes, a million times yes my lord! I love none other than thee." Kagome exclaims drawing another kiss from his pierced appendages.
"Then do me this honor, my dear Lady Capulet." Inuyasha replies bending down on one knee. "Become mine forever."
"My lord, are you asking for my hand?" Kagome cries covering her mouth with her hands.
"Not just your hand." Inuyasha grins kissing her foot. "Your body, mind and soul. I want nothing but you."
"Then yes! Yes, my lord, yes! I wish to be your everything." Kagome sobs jumping into his now open arms.
"Is that so, mistress?" A broken voice questions from behind the pair.
Turning around, Kagome sees her darling caretaker Sango. Standing there with tears streaming down her cheeks the young maiden falls to her knees. Rushing to her nanny's side, the young princess cradles her best friend against her shaking form. Looking up at her mistress with empathetic eyes, Sango slowly nods her head. She knew all too well that date would not and could never be stopped.
"Is it true my dear lady?" Sango cries touching Kagome's arm very softly. "Are you truly in love with a Montague?"
"Very much so." Kagome answers nodding her head lightly. "I care deeply for thy Lord Montague."
"And you, youkai. Do you love thy mistress?" Sango questions looking to Inuyasha warily.
"Tis true." Inuyasha replies looking to his fiancé. "I am in love with thy mistress."
"Your love is forbidden, yet you cannot forget the other." Sango murmurs almost to herself. "I pity you lovers. My heart aches for you for your love cannot be expressed openly like my own."
"To be in love is an honor." Inuyasha responds gently ruffling Kagome's ebony locks. "I'd rather have been in love in secrecy then to have gone without."
"Ahh…true love. In the wilted garden of despair you are lucky to come across such beauty." Sango sighs getting up and onto her feet. "My dearest mistress, you have my blessings."
"And you won't utter a word to my sister?" Kagome questions holding her breath for a moment.
"Thy lady shall never know." Sango promises as Kagome throws herself against her caretaker's body.
"I thank thee nurse!" Kagome exclaims embracing Sango tightly. "You are my very best friend."
"Alright my dear." Sango smiles contently. "I implore you to take your leave. Seek Raiden the pastor of the church outside Fair Verona, should you wish to follow through with your proposal."
"Will do." Inuyasha nods slipping an arm around Kagome's waist and jumping off the balcony into the endless night.
"I wish thee the best, fair princess." Sango murmurs treading back inside the castle. "I trust thee to restore Verona into the shadow of it's former glory."
