Kagome woke up just before dawn, and slowly opened her eyes. Inuyasha was laying next to her sleeping, in much the same way they had last night. Trying not to wake him, she slipped out from under her arms. Surrounding the two was the rest of the group. 'Geez, they must have found us asleep last night and decided to just camp here. Inuyasha's gonna be pissed when he wakes up to this.' But it was too late, for he stirred only a moment later, probably noticing the loss of warmth. He raised his head up as well, and looked around.

"Shit, I fell asleep." He said as he saw the group.

"It wasn't hard." Kagome said when she saw his expression. He grinned.

"Kagome, I have to talk to you. Let's go some where else." He told her with a glance around. So with their hands held tight, they walked to a huge oak tree.

Inuyasha sat at its base next to Kagome. Kagome knew it had to be serious by the look in his amber eyes. She gave him a reassuring smile.

"Kagome, you know I'm not good. with telling you what I feel. But I think I have to tell you now." He said in a quiet voice, almost the voice of a little boy instead of a grown man. "I have, feeling for you, you know that. But I think it's more that just a simple liking. Kagome, I think I. I think I love you." Inuyasha said.

And right then at that moment in time, all the doors opened in Kagome's soul. All the light poured through her, all the life and strength she had ever felt could not be matched by this feeling. It was too good for a smile, to great for tears. Only actions could express how she felt now.

"Inuyasha, I love you too." Kagome said. "I love you so much." She said. He leaned in closer, and laid his lips against hers. They were so soft and warm, so perfectly shaped. She felt like if she moved away from that position, she would crack in two with emotion. She pressed into him, his chest against hers. Then he deepened the kiss. She could feel his fangs just beneath his lips. Without any hesitation, he placed a clawed hand around her waist and gently pushed her to the ground. Kagome could feel his warm hands now, laying her on the ground. She could feel him above her, pressing down. He felt like one big warm blanket of love. He slowly pulled away from her hungry lips.

"Kagome, I love you, and I will forever. I will never leave you. So, would you be my mate?" He asked. She held him close and replied with all the feeling she had,

"Inuyasha, you didn't even have to ask." Kagome told him.

All of the sudden, the jewel shard that hung around Kagome's neck, gleamed white and swallowed them within its bright light. A voice could he heard.

And with love, these shards of the jewel are permanently purified. Well done, Kagome and Inuyasha. You have completed your true destiny to become lovers and will never part. Little did Inuyasha know, but his mother was a descendant of the first jewel barer. Together with your ancestry combined, you will one day form a child. And this child will bring peace to the warring states. She will save the jewel. May you eternally love, and farewell.

"Who was that?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"The spirit of the first jewel barer, I think. She was the very heart of the jewel itself." Kagome said with unknown wisdom. But all Inuyasha could do was kiss her again.

And they would marry soon after. Kagome would bear a powerful hanyou miko, which they named Peace, and she would stop the wars, and unite the lands. She collected the jewel and destroyed Naraku along with the jewel. Inuyasha killed Sesshoumaru in the end. The Priestess Kikyou's body was even destroyed in the battle, but none of it really mattered. For inside, Kagome and Inuyasha knew they had found true happiness. And then they lived happily ever after.

AN: Yea, so it was a fairy tale type thing, so what? You know you want to be that in love, don't cha? Well to bad! The real world isn't like that. But I like the perfect ending romance. Just a dream I had one day. :: Slaps herself for babbling :: Hope you enjoyed, please R&R! (

(Note regarding reviews: Yea I know I took the whole marriage, kid, end thing fast, but I didn't want to write forty more chapters describing in detail how this all came to be. Also, I'm sorry I destroyed Fluffy! I know, we all love him [it helps that he's really hot.] ::knocks herself on the head for having a crush on an anime character::()
