Chapter 25

"Sango look down there." A man on a neko-youkai pointed down to an abandoned hut which had smoke coming up from the top. (an: as in there is a fire burning inside not the fire is burning down the hut.)

"What if it's not them?" the demon slayer asked.

"Well if it isn't them will ask the people inside if they have seen are friends." Miroku the monk replied.

The slayer nodded, and asked Kirara to fly down. When they reached the ground Sango and Miroku dismounted Kirara and walked up to the old hut and Miroku knocked on the door frame three times.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

Inuyasha lifted his head to the entrance of the hut and sniffed. He closed his eyes and laid his head back down, but then in a second his head shot back up eyes wide as ever. He shot up out of the futon, 'shit' he thought. He quickly got up and grabbed all of his clothes and his mate's clothes and put on his.

Kagome aroused to all of the shuffling and movements he was making. She sat up she sat up and yawned while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, as she looked down she found her top half exposed. So she grabbed the covers and brought then up to her neck.

"Inuyasha why are you all panicky?" she asked curiously.

"Miroku and Sango are outside the door." He said tossing her her clothes. "And I don't want the stupid pervert getting any ideas… and his not going to see you naked." Once the words left his lips she was dressed.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

"Wonder why there not answering?" pondered Miroku.

"Should we go in?" Sango asked.

"Let me knock one more time." So three more times he knocked on the door frame. There was a lot of shuffling before someone answered the door.

"What do you want houshi?" the man asked with a trade mark smirk.

"Inuyasha, nice to see you're alive. We thought some villagers were going to be living here." He said. Before Inuyasha could answer he was interrupted.

"Sango!" Kagome screamed running up and hugging poor un-expected Sango.

"Kagome your safe thank kami I was so worried." She said hugging her back.

"Come, come in will tell you everything that happened." Kagome said dragging Sango inside the hut.

A few hours later they had told Sango and Miroku everything that happened well besides the more intimate parts. Sango nodded while Miroku kept looking at Kagome funny, making Inuyasha growl.

"What are you looking at houshi." He growled out.

"Is it just me or is that an official mate bite on Kagome's neck?" he asked making Sango look as well. Before either Kagome or Inuyasha could answer someone else did.

"That dear monk is an official mate mark." Myoga replied jumping out of no where.

Both Sango and Miroku gasped, Kagome blushed madly, and Inuyasha just smirked proudly. Nothing was going to ruin his fist day of having a mate.

"Let's see Kagome." Sango asked leaning forward. Kagome looked at Inuyasha to see if he didn't above but with a simple nod she knew it was ok. So she removed the cloth lower to show the two small marks on her neck.

"IEEEEEE I'm so happy for you both!" Sango exclaimed hugging Kagome madly.

"Yes I most agree with Sango. Please do tell the details." Miroku said wiggling his eyebrows. This earned a monstrous hit from Sango and Inuyasha. There was a silence before the old flee spoke.

"Inuyasha, Kagome have either of you had any strange happenings between you two? As in if one of you got in a situation where you showed strong emotions the other felt it too?" Myoga asked curiously.

"No not that I can think of… Kagome let me see your finger." He asked well more told. Kagome gave her hand to him, he examined her index finger, and then his own. On the tip of both there fingers was a tiny scare on it almost identical to one another.

"Kagome where'd you get this scare?" he asked suddenly.

She pulled back her finger and looked at it, while the memory of Kouga scraping his claw against that finger came back to her.

"I got it when I was brushing off Kouga's hand off my shoulder and I nicked my finger on his claw." She answered. Inuyasha growling deep in his throat, while Myoga nodded.

"Inuyasha may I ask as to how you got your scare on your finger?" Inuyasha's growling sub-sided enough for him to talk properly.

"I don't know, it just appeared one day, but right after I saw the cut I started growling without reason." He replied scooting closer to Kagome and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Was this before or after mating?" Myoga questioned.

"Before." The two replied in union. There was another silence before a small clap was heard.

"That's it then… you two are soul mates!" the flea concluded happily. Sango gasped as well as Miroku. Inuyasha smiled, and Kagome got really giddy but still blushing lightly.

"It makes perfect sense, the finger, emotions, how you met. It all connects. When Kagome cut her finger on her capture's claw it was telling Inuyasha that she was in pain and in sorrow. The reason why ye growled was because deep down he knew someone dared to harm his mate. Last but not least, hoe they met is because most youkai or hanyou in this era find there mates by scent. When Inuyasha decided to place a courting mark on her one of the reason's were because of her scent and you found it comforting, right Inuyasha?" Myoga explained.

"Hai that was one of the reasons why I chose her, but the other reason was that my youkai side kept nagging at me to mark her." Inuyasha answered.

"ah so your youkai side had a thing or two about sear Kagome. Hmmm just like your father, he was almost fully converted into his true youkai form when he was about to take your mother. Izayoi, your mother, was the lord's soul mate not Shesshoumaru's mother. The lord Inutashio and Shesshoumaru's mother had an arranged marriage. That's how you two are half brothers." Everyone nodded understanding. "I'm surprised that you two were able to connect emotionally and physically before even mating! You two must have an extremely strong bond to be that serious." Myoga said crossing his arms and nodding his head like a bobble head.

Everyone nodded and took a minute to let the new information sink in.

"Well I'm off I shall all see you later." Myoga said and bounced off out of the hut.

"So all in all Inuyasha and Kagome are and were destined to be together? Well that's not surprising." Sango said out loud.

"And what is that suppose to mean, eh Sango?" Kagome asked rising un-eyebrow.

"Well if you remember, before any of this Naraku stuff happened, you always looked so happy when Inuyasha picked you up to make his dinners, and when ever Miroku and I were there you two acted like a married couple. Also when ever Miroku tried anything perverted on you he got all protective and stuff, so as I said it's not a surprise that you to are soul mates." Sango replied sticking out her tongue. Along the lines of explaining Miroku rested his arm on her waist and she had scooted closer.

At this action Kagome noticed and didn't want to let the opportunity to figure out the reason for this action.

"Umm… Inuyasha is there a hot spring anywhere close by? Because me and Sango need to go for a dip." Kagome said turning her head to Inuyasha but keeping her eyes on Sango.

"Uh yeah close to the north, but I don't want you going to."

"ok me and Sango will be back in a bit." Kagome interrupted Inuyasha standing up. Before she left with Sango, Inuyasha grabbed onto her wrist and pulled her down in a heated kiss. Once they pulled back, Kagome smiled lightly.

"Be careful got it?" he asked his face full of concern.

"I will, I love you." She gave a small peck on his check then left.

"Love you too." He said staring at the hut's entrance.

"Man you are all mushy." Miroku said holding back a smirk.

"Shut up."

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

"Ahhh this is so nice." Kagome replied sighing contently.

"Yeah, it's nice to get away from the boy's too." Sango said dipping her head out of the water.

There was a comfortable silence, just the sound of the water dripping and bubbles rising.

"So Sango what's the deal between you and Miroku? You too seem to be a lot closer since we left." Kagome asked as if it was nothing.

"Uh-uh what are you talking about?" Sango replied avoiding eye contact.

"Don't play dumb I know you to well. So spill it, what happened that I missed?" Kagome asked clapping her hands once.

"Well umm we told each other we loved one another." At this Kagome squealed with happiness. "And he asked me to marry him and being Miroku, asked If I would bear his children. And I told him that I would after Naraku is dead of course." Sango said blushing madly as Kagome giggled happily.

"Finally! You guys have been flirting with each other since we were able to talk. Jezz you're slow if you guys just noticed you loved each other." Kagome said giggling but when a handful of water made its way into her mouth.

"Hey!" she yelled as Sango splashed more water into her mouth. Water was splashing from each side of the hot tube.

"Ok ok, I give up, I give up!" Kagome laughed out, hand blocking her face.

"I thought so." Sango replied relaxing back into the springs welcoming warmth.

They were relaxing for the last 15 minuets. When Sango stood up and grabbed her clothes.

"I'm getting out before I get all prunny." Sango said getting out of the hot springs and placing her clothing back on.

"Ok am just going to stay a bit longer. Tell Inuyasha not to come looking for me ok. I'll be done in a bit." Kagome told Sango.

Sango nodded and went off back to the hut. Kagome sat peacefully inside the hot spring. After awhile once Sango was gone Kagome heard a rustle behind a bush behind her. When she turned around to see what it was her mouth fell completely open.

'Oh shit.'
