Volleyball Love

Chapter 38: Boxes and red bows

Inuyasha placed the trophy of the Japan Tournament on the shelf above all the other trophies. He put his arm around Kagome and they both stood there gazing around the room. They finally had their own place. After all the madness of the police accusing Inuyasha of murderer, graduation, prom…it was stressful but they got through it. Getting out of the accused murder was a big one, then they finally explained for the thousandth time that Inuyasha was a half demon and abided the demon laws. Someone was trying to kill his mate so his demon instincts took over and controlled him. They finally understood after that and he was free to go.

Yep, life was great. After Kagome and Inuyasha graduated they moved into a…. 'House' as Inuyasha called it. Kagome's mother was ecstatic once she learned that Kagome and Inuyasha were mated and moving into their own place.

"Make sure to give me lots of grandbabies!" they remembered her saying.

They both silently chuckled at the memory.

Team Tetsusaiga went to higher competitions after the Japan tournament, they got an invitation to travel to America and compete in the Olympics'. The team won but their competition was much greater.

Team Tetsusaiga was now Japan's greatest known volleyball team. They competed in every tournament in the country, adding trophies to their collections.

Every night Inuyasha held a practice. He worked the team hard and it paid off. No one complained that his practices were brutal, not even Koga and his usually sharp mouth.

Inuyasha kissed Kagome sweetly then went to the kitchen to make some ramen.

"You're going to get fat if you keep eating that 24/7," Kagome warned.

Inuyasha slurped up some noodles then looked at his mate.

"I 'aint going to get fat," he scowled.

Kagome giggled then made some herself. By the time she sat down and started eating, Inuyasha was on his third bowl. Kagome shook her head and finished her ramen silently. After they were done with their lunch Inuyasha went to practice while Kagome stayed at the mansion nursing the ankle she rolled the previous session.

Kagome sighed as she hobbled around the empty 'house' by herself. A maid passed every once in a small while. She went to her room and sat on her bed like Inuyasha had instructed. She propped up her leg with a few of the many pillows and started reading her new book she bought the other day, 'Eclipse' by Stephanie Myer. After a while she got bored and put the book aide. She just stared at the ceiling, bored out of her mind. For how long she stared at the ceiling she had no idea, but she fell asleep out of sheer boredom.

After a while she opened her eyes to find it dusk. Kagome looked at the clock and saw that Inuyasha would be home in about 15 minutes. Looking around the room, her eyes traveled to a large box with a beautiful red bow on top.

Curious she shuffled over to it and untied the bow and opened the box. Inside she found another box with a red bow on it, but this one was slightly smaller. She took the second box out of the first and opened that one as well. Kagome's eyes furrowed together in confusion once she was met by the same thing once again. There in the second box was a third, looking the exact same way, except smaller.

Sighing she opened the box and was greeted by another box. She opened that one too and growled very Inuyasha-like as she saw yet another box smaller than the other.

Tossing the bows and boxes to the floor she opened one after another, each one getting smaller than the next until she finally came across one small silver box with a blood red bow…Inuyasha's favorite color of red.

She opened it and inside was a black velvet box. She opened the lid and saw a silver ring with three small heart shaped diamonds. Kagome gasped at its beauty and then nearly screeched as she heard a voice behind her.

Standing in the doorway was Inuyasha, her mate. His red muscle shirt stuck to him showing off his well defined muscles. The baggy silver shorts swayed as he walked over to her and took the ring out of her hand and bent down on one knee.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"I said will you marry me?" Inuyasha took her hands into his own then kissed them.

Kagome was speechless, her eyes filled with happy tears and she lunged forward throwing her arms around his neck and hugging him.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes! Yes I'll marry you!!!" she cried into his shoulder.

Inuyasha took her face into his hands and gave her a long deep kiss. After he pulled away he slipped the ring onto her finger then carried her to the bed. The two lovers made passionate love until the sun rose above the horizon. They fell asleep in each other's arms, each whispering their love for the other as the morning rays kissed there faces.
