Sorry for the late chapter!!! I'm still getting over my breakup, and writing romance at the time was not on my to-do list. But, here's the last chapter, anyway. Enjoy, and always, please R&R.

"What do you think your doing, wench!?" He yelled, throwing the door open.
Kagome screamed and pulled the shower curtain closed. But it did he no good. Inuyasha just ripped the thing off its rings. It fell to the floor.
Inuaysha starred down at her. She had one of those razor things she had used in his time agaisnt her wrist. He could smell the fear radiating off of her. He growled and grabbed her roughly up the shoulders, hauling her up. She dropped the razor in reflex, and for that, he was releived, somewhat.
"I asked you what you thought you were doing!"
She snobbed. "That's none of your busniess, Inuyasha! Put me down! Or will say it!"
"You say it and you come with me. I'm not letting you go." He buried his face into her wet hair. She gasped, surprised. "I'll never let you go again," he said more gently.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome didn't know what to say. Then her anger started to boil.
She pushed him away. Inuyasha, not prepared for the shove, stumbled back. Kagome stood before him. She took in no notice that she was naked.
"How dare you come in here! How dare you follow me back to my time! I told you not to follow me! I don't want to ever see you again!" She broke down in tears, a few snobs excaping. "I'm going to live my life here, maybe marry Hojo or something, and I'll forget all about you. But I can't forget about you if you won't go away!"
"But I..." he started.
"Don't try to explain things to me," she said, more softly then before. "I love you, Inuyasha." A pause. Silence. "But I can't keep going on while you love her. I have to move on." He started to talk again, but she interupted him again. "It hurts too much. You loved kikyo then, and you love her now. My heart is my own. I've told you that before. My feelings for you are not Kikyo's. They are mine. So go back to her. Love her. Forget about me, like I'll forget about you."
"Damnit Woman! Let me get a word in here!" He glared at her. That's when Kagome noticed she was still standing before him naked. She quickly grabbed the shower curtain while he looked away. He peaked from the corner of his eye and saw she had the thing wrapped around her, her head looking at the floor. "You say your going to move on without me, but what were you just about to do before I came in here? It didn't look like moving on to me."
"That's none of your buisness." She said it so softly he had to strain his ears to hear her words.
"It is my buisness. I care about you, Kagome. If I didn't, I wouldn't have come back here."
She snorted. "Whatever. You still love her, so nothing matters." She looked him in the eye.
"I never said I loved her. I said I cared for her. Like I care for you." He was beyong irratated with this girl.
"You can't have just one," Kagome said, remembering an ad in some potatoe chip commercial.
Inuaysha snorted. "I used to just want one. Then I wanted both. Now its back down to one. And guess whose winning right now?"
"Kikyo?" Kagome sneered. She turned around, she didn't want to look at him.
"No. You." He said it with no anger in his voice. He was calm.
Kagome was in shock. She didn't dare turn around. She was afraid she had misheard him.
The next thing she knew, Inuyasha's arms had wrapped themselves around her chest, and she was pulled into his embrace. Tears sprang forth once again, silently falling and landing in little droplets onto Inuyasha's hands.
"Kagome," he whispeared. "Why are you crying?"
A snob excaped her throat. She pulled away from him, turned, and threw herself into him, holding him as close to her as possible. She didn't even notice when the shower curtain fell from around her. Inuyasha's arms wrapped around her, his cheek resting on top of her head. Her snobs increased, and he just held her tighter.
"Oi, wench. Why are you crying?"
Kagome stopped half way through another snob. She pulled slightly away and looked up at him, tears still littering her eyes. "Why are you playing with my feelings like this, Inuyasha?"
His hard expression softened and he smiled. His ears twitched slightly. "Because... I..."
She stopped what he was saying. She lifted her head and kissed him. It was a desperate kiss. She was afriad. She wanted to always hear him say those 3 words, but when it came down to it, she was scared to hear him say it. So she kissed him instead, just in case that wasn't what he was going to say.
Inuyasha was surprised. Kagome had interupted what he was about to say, something so very important. His first reaction was to pull away and tell her what he had come here for. But her soft lips... tasted... so sweet. So warm. Slighly moist. So... perfect. So... Kagome. He couldn't pull away and yell at her for interupting him. The moment was too perfect. So he did the only thing he could, he kissed her back, and he kissed her back with more passion then he had ever shown Kikyo.
They did need a breather after a short while. Kagome pulled away and rested her cheek agaisnt his chest, her breathing heavy. Inuyasha used a hand to push a lock of hair behind her ear. He lowered his head and kissed her lobe, then just below the ear, then the neck. Kagome shivered.
He retraced his kisses back up into her ear, and ever so gently whispeared, "Kagome. I love you."
Kagome, at that instant, cluched tighter to him, pulling him with her to the bathroom floor, where her lips meet his once again in a heated kiss. Kagome's hands wondered over his shoulders and down his front, pulling his firerat kimono apart. The top entangled itself around Inuaysha's arms, so he hastlely removed it. The kissing never ceased.
Kagome now ran her hands down the white tank top Inuyasha always wore under the protective coat. She could feel the lines of his muscle throught her finger tips. She shivered in delight. She could feel Inuyasha's own hands exploring her body, primarly her sides and back, as he was on top of her at the moment. Kagome let out a small groan and pushed herself into him, putting pressure on his back to bring him even closer to her.
Then he broke the kiss. She gasped as she got in fresh air. She was heated. She was in love.
Inuyasha rested his forehead agaisnt hers, looking down into her eyes. "Kogome... I can't..." he said, not continuing.
She looked at him confusion. "Why not? I thought you.. just said..."
"I do. I meant what I said." He paused, looking into her eyes and seeing hurt. He hate to be the cause of her pain. "I don't want to hurt you."
Kagome's eyes softened. "The worst has already been done. I love you, Inuyasha. And even if you didn't love me, I'd still do this with you."
"But I do, wench!"
"I know. And that's why I want it even more. I want you to make me a woman, Inuyasha."
"My... mate?"
Kagome nodded, slowly slidding out from underneath him to a sitting position. "Do you not want me to br your mate?"
"No! I do! I just.. your skool... and your family..."
"Can wait," she finished. She kissed him again, and this time, he needed no permission.
He picked her up from the floor and carried her into the room, resting her on the bed. He pulled the covers up and over her. He ran his hand over her forehead, pushing her hair back, and looked into her eyes. "Not tonight. A lot has happened, and we both need time to think."
Kagome nodded in understanding. And she was tired.
Inuyasha stood up to go.
"Inuyasha?"
"Hmm?"
"Will you at least stay with me tonight?"
Inuyasha nodded and sat on the floor agaisnt her bed. Her hand reached over and started to rub his ears. God... he loved that.
"Under the covers, with me, please?"
Inuaysha turned to look at her. Her eyes were pleading. He smiled, and crawled into her bed clothed.
She snuggled into his embrace. "Thank you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha only smiled as his head rested agisnt hers, and they both fell into a peaceful slumber.
