AN: OMG OMG OMG!!!!! *tries to breath evenly to keep from hyperventilating* 80 REVIEWS!!!! *dances around computer room insanely* KKYYYAAA!!!! You peoples are SO GREAT!!! I'm seriously itching to write, but I have to answer a VERY commonly asked question in reviews:

Where was the IY/K waff?

Point blank peoples (don't kill me!), I'm just not a very big fan of IY/K. I can't really relate to them (unless you count some of Inu Yasha's personal problems like being teased and having no dad around and stuffs). Kagome is just . . . too . . . happy (and too girly, but that's another thing altogether). I can't relate to her, so I have tons of trouble writing about her . . . sorry! It's just the way I am! Kagome's too normal for me to really get her! (sounds weird, but true!) This kinda explains some of the following OOCness along with my lack of knowledge on their part, K? So if this chapter is bad, my bad! (LOL!) On with the fic!










As Inu Yasha had so suddenly picked her up, Kagome almost had a heart attack.

But she understood.

Kinda.

Inu Yasha . . . she whispered, awed, and a little scared.

he growled, sending chills up her spine, in both fear and for more romantic reasons . . .

she gulped as he opened the door one handed to their room, and was starting to place her on the futon.

He stopped his actions, but only to look at her.

I . . . I know that . . . demons only mark their mate once in their life time but . . . she gulped and moved out of his arms slowly, heart pacing alarmingly fast.

She swallowed once more.

I'm just not . . . ready . . . not yet! she said quickly, shy. She had every right to be, as she had just saved her virginity.

Her head was bowed, and she bit her lip, so hard, she tasted blood, but was glad for the distraction from the tense silence that had raised it's ugly head in what should have been a happy, summer night.

Inu Yasha just stared. She wasn't ready, yet. Yet. Did that mean she still excepted his . . . proposal . . . of sorts it was he admitted, he, having bit her on the neck, made a proposal to her, in demon terms. He realized it now it was a bit fast, but he had been planing on telling her, later, what that mark meant, when he had the courage to do so. But since Sango had explained, and she hadn't said anything . . . he just thought . . .

I . . . I know you thought Inu Yasha . . . but . . . I'm not . . . saying no . . . I'm just not ready . . . yet . . . OK? she said, trembling.

He had said that out load; shit! He had to keep track of his mouth more often -

Kagome was giggling again, she must have heard that too. He sighed to himself. When would he ever keep his thoughts to him self . . .?

Some day Inu Yasha, some day . . . she smiled, and hugged him tightly.

He smiled too, still nervous with relief. He was . . . happy too. He wasn't even sure he was ready yet.

He looked down, and she had fallen asleep, still smiling.

He lay down on the mat, she still in his arms.

His Kagome.

His soon to be wife.

Sometime during that very night, Shippo crept in and snuggled in between them.

It was just like with his mommy and daddy; he could feel their warmth, both body heat, and the warmth of their love.

When Kagome woke the next morning, tears of happiness filled the corners of her eyes.

She wanted to, every day, for the rest of her life, wake up like this.

The strong arms of her love around her, their child squashed comfortably twixt them, and the light of a new born day, blanketing around them, like mother nature was hugging them.

Inu Yasha woke up too soon after her, and kissed her forehead sweetly, telling her that he to wanted to wake up like this for the rest of his life, no matter how long that may be.

They stayed like that, reveling in this new found bliss.

The days after ward they slept together, all three of them, and acted like a family; more caring and loving than before. Unfortunately, this made the other people (and demon) in the group want to retch for it's sweetness. But still, they where happy that love had struck it's mark, true and pure.
