Chapter 13: I'm Home

Kouga eyes widened. That voice. He turned around and saw the very man he was thinking and worrying about for what felt for the longest time.

"I-Inuyasha?" Kouga's voice cracked in surprise as he watched Inuyasha walk closer, his mouth twitched upwards before becoming a smile.

Inuyasha's smirk became a smile as he watched Kouga's expression change from surprise to happiness. 'He is perfect.'

They were inches apart as silence filled the clearing.

"What? Not happy to see me?" Inuyasha joked.

Kouga's eyes widened, "No! I am thrilled, but I thought you would be in the West a lot longer."

Inuyasha chuckled, "No, I was able to train, hard I might add, with Sesshomaru and passed my test, the elders were very impressed with me." Kouga smiled hearing this the last two weeks were full of worry and sadness and that all had evaporated by seeing the man in front of him.

"Did you just get back?" Kouga asked, tilting his head in question as Inuyasha rubbed the back of his head and let out a nervous laugh.

"Uhh...I got back here around noon." Kouga almost didn't hear his answer as he whispered it out. But he did.

"What? Inuyasha it's almost dusk. Where were you? What were you doing?" Kouga looked shocked. His eyes narrowed as Inuyasha chuckled nervously again.

"Well did you notice Ginta and Hakkaku bothering you and being in the council room for hours?" Of course Kouga couldn't forget the council meeting, it was torture!

Kouga's eyes were narrowed, "Please tell me that wasn't all your doing!" Inuyasha gave him a grin and another nervous laugh. "Inuyasha! That was all you?! I wanted to die in that room! It was complete torture!"

Inuyasha smiled and chuckled softly. "I know. I am sorry about that, but something came up that I needed you to be kept out of the forest."

Confusion was written over the wolf's face. "Why? What were you doing?"

Inuyasha bit his lip and gave the wolf demon and small grin. "This." He pulled Kouga's hand to some bushes, pushing them to the side he revealed a small, enclosed clearing. It gave a straight path to the waterfall and unless you moved asides the bushes and tree branches you couldn't see outside the small area. Within the area, there were pelts laid on the ground making a makeshift bed, they were soft towels off to the side, if needed, if they were to go swimming. They were oil lamps illuminating the surrounding giving it a soft glow as the sun started to set.

Kouga was in awe. His eyed widened at the set up as he turned to see Inuyasha watching him. "W-What is this?"

Inuyasha gripped onto Kouga's hand as it was still intertwined with his. He looked into Kouga's eyes and gulped, biting his lip, trying to rid of his nervous feeling. "Well, during my stay with Sesshomaru, I realized something. Something important. That I can't let opportunities to slip by especially when I realized I can't live without them."

Kouga felt anxious for reasons he didn't know. "What are you trying to say Inuyasha?" He had to know, his anxiety was rising every second.

Inuyasha looked down for a second, then rose his head with a hint of confidence in his eyes. "Well I can show you better than I can tell you." (1)

Inuyasha gave a small smile before pulling Kouga close to him that their chests were touching. He looked into Kouga's surprised eyes before leaning down and capturing the wolf demon's lips with his own. Kouga's eyes widened as he couldn't believe what was happening he was still for a few moments before he realized he hadn't responded. He smiled into the kiss as he slowly wrapped his arms around the Inu demon's neck and deepened it. Inuyasha smiled slightly as he gripped Kouga's waist tighter.

They didn't pull away until they needed air to breathe. They rested their foreheads against each others as the tried to regain their breath.

Kouga then blushed, "I-Inuyasha? What does this mean?" He pulled away slightly to look at the other man's face.

Inuyasha laughed softly, "Well I guess I mean to ask is that, Kouga, I will not stand by and watch someone take you away from me so what I am asking is that will you give me the utmost honor and happiness in becoming my mate?"

Kouga couldn't breathe this had to be a dream, he stared open mouth and the man in front of him, whom he shared a breathtaking kiss from moments ago, the man who he realized he loved, the man he knew now he couldn't live without, was asking him to be his mate.

Kouga gave a small breathless laugh and grinned, "Yes!" Inuyasha met the wolf's eyes as his own widened. "Yes I will become your mate! Of course!" Inuyasha smiled and sighed a breath of relief as joy filled his body.

Kouga laughed in happiness, he couldn't believe it, he was gonna be Inuyasha's mate! He shouted yes again as he jumped onto Inuyasha wrapping his legs around him. Inuyasha exclaimed in surprise as they fell onto the ground against a tree trunk, Kouga straddling the inu demon. They both managed the calm down as they just smiled at each other until Inuyasha sighed and leaned his head onto Kouga's shoulder. Kouga looked down and asked,

"Inuyasha? Are you okay?" He felt Inuyasha shake slightly as he heard a soft laugh and watched as he rose his head again.

Inuyasha smiled at his soon-to-be mate. "You have know idea how long I have been wanting to ask you and tell you this."

Kouga grinned then tilted his head, "Tell me what?"

Inuyasha chuckled softly and pulled Kouga closer and whispered "I love you Kouga."

Kouga gasped then smiled and whispered back, "I-I love you too Inuyasha." Inuyasha grinned before closing the gap and kissing his wolf again and Kouga immediately responded.

Kouga smiled into the kiss, 'It happened. I never thought it would, but it did. Now, I can't wait for mating season.'
