Sango: was it something I said?
Miroku and Sango's gaze followed Inu Yasha and Kagome out the door Kaede quickly shoed the monk and demon slayer into the hut to keep them from following the two.
Kaede: nay child they just need time alone to sort things out.perhaps we came back too soon
Miroku: ok shippo what is going on? What has transpired between Inu Yasha and Lady Kagome?
Shippo: what dose it look like?
Miroku: really Shippo...I mean what caused the sudden change in Inu Yasha's character
Shippo: he heard us talking to Myoga about his parents and I told kagome that she and Inu Yasha were like my parents and she said she was in love with Inu Yasha and the next thing I know he is in the hut holding me kissing her and being more like a dad to me.
Sango: That sounds like a lot happened while we were gone.why were you talking about his parents?
Shippo: Well Kagome asked Myoga what they were like and how they met and how they died and Myoga told us the story and Inu Yasha was listening to us I guess. I wonder what they are doing?
Miroku: probably picking up where they left off n here.look kagome made us some food.
Sango: food.mmmmhhh ..what did she prepare?
Kaede: some of those noodles she brings .ramen I think is what she called it...we should save some for them you know how Inu Yasha get about those noodles...
Miroku: yeah your right lets eat
Out side kagome was walking hand and hand with Inu Yasha to the god tree.they had been silent the entire time each lost t their own train of thought finally upon arriving to the tree Inu Yasha spoke
Inu Yasha: Kagome I...umm... you told shippo you would never leave him..
Kagome: Yes Inu Yasha that's right
Inu Yasha: Well what I mean to say is .well.will you .ummm could you ..not leave me either
Kagome: Inu Yasha... of course I wont leave you I could never leave you I love you.
Inu Yasha took Kagome into his arms and tightly embraced her and as quickly as the embraced her he let her go to face her as he spoke.
Inu Yasha: I am like my father in many ways I guess when it come to women.I too don't want to choose a mate unless it is for love and I cant see my self with any one but you kagome and well . then theirs shippo we need to make sure the brat had both of his new parents .
Kagome: are you asking what I think your asking Inu Chan?
Inu Yasha: Feh. I don't know what you think I am askin I am just telling you I consider you my life mate and if you don't want me like that its fine but I wont choose again .my choice is for life
Kagome: I choose you as well Inu Yasha.I wouldn't have it any other way
Kagome, who was standing in front of Inu Yasha holding his hand and watching his face moved a little closer and stood on her tip toes Inu Yasha saw this and out of instinct dipped his head low enough to tough Kagome's lips his free hand found its way to Kagome's hip and the other left her hand and found its way to the back of her head the hand Inu Yasha wasn't holding went to his shoulder and the other to his waist she parted her lips slightly and Inu Yasha made no hesitation to deepen the kiss. He had waited for this moment for the longest time and now it was finally happening. He finally found a place where he belonged.. in Kagome's arms..
Inu Yasha thought to himself 'Mom.Dad I have found my reason for life I hope your happy with my choice..
Their kiss broke finally after what seamed like an eternity and kagome was the first to break the blissful silence
Kagome: I think we should be heading back to the village the others will be worried about us
Inu Yasha: ok mate
Kagome: did you just call me mate?
Inu Yasha: yeah is their something wrong with that...that's what you are wench, my mate...
Kagome: I know Inu Yasha I just didn't expect you to call me that so suddenly
Inu Yasha: that is the way it is done.
Kagome: well if that is the way it is done then that is the way you must do it my...m..mate
Inu Yasha took Kagome in his arms once again and gave her the most passion filled kiss that she could ever imagine was possible it was as though he was trying to pour all of his soul into that one kiss kagome could hardly breath when the kiss ended
Inu Yasha: I love hearing those words from you my mate but we had better head back
Kagome (who was still in shock) uh.. huuh.
They walked back to the hut to their friends and newly realized family with shippo. Shippo: mommy kagome.. Da..Inu Yasha.are you gonna be made it me if
Inu Yasha: call me what you like...as long as its not bad (his eyes narrowed slightly at shippo
Shippo: fine daddy Inu
Kagome: daddy Inu .that's so sweet I wonder...
Inu Yasha: wonder what
Kagome: oh nothing
Inu Yasha: what were you thinking just now my mate?
Every one: Mate!!!!!!!
Miroku: gods you did that just now.
Sango turned around and hit Miroku on his head with her boomerang
Sango: You hentai!! He made his intent clame to Kagome-sama and by the way they talk she accepted..
Miroku: His intent clame? Oh so he asked her to marry him?
By now the group had moved to the center of the room and was sitting in a circle kagome sat down next to Inu Yasha shippo was in his lap and Sango and Miroku sat across from the two with kiara in Sango's lap Kaede was sitting between kagome and Sango and the y all listened as Inu Yasha talked
Inu Yasha: no baka an intent clame is a clame that is respected by other youkai when a youkai takes a mate they have to first lay clame to the mate if another youkai wants the same mate say Kouga for example he can challenge me for kagome if she doesn't accept my claim for her. but she has so he must respect the clame
Miroku: oh I see so you have just said you want her and now you are going to marry her.right ..
Inu Yasha: wrong again Inu youkai don't follow human traditions of marriage they don't respect those bonds they only respect the bond of mating no youkai can take another's mate unless they kill the other and clame the mate for them selves and even then that is forbidden.there are three major steps in youkai mating the intent claim.the mark.. and the finalization. there are other steps in between but they are not as important
Sango: the mark I haven't heard of that.what is it?
Kagome: yes Inu Chan.what is the mark?
Myoga: My Lord maybe I should explain the rest to them, as it is my place to do so.
Inu Yasha: feh.. what ever you want myoga
Myoga: Yes My Lord, the marking of the mate is a tradition dating all the way back to..
Inu Yasha: myoga skip the formalities..
Myoga: Right The make signifies the bond between the mates during the process the two in question which would be you Lady Kagome And My lord would have to bite each other to draw blood then they taste each others blood
Kagome: Hold on are you saying I have to bite Inu Yasha and drink his blood then let him bite me..ewwew that is so gross is there any other way that doesn't involve drinking blood
InuYasha looked hurt that kagome didn't want to take his blood but he understood why she thought the way she did .she didn't understand the way things were done but in time she will learn .if she still accepts him as her mate
Myoga :I am sorry My lady there is no other way It is the only way to mix your scent With Lord Inu Yasha's for your protection and to solidify the bond between you both.dose it help to know there is little to no pain involved
Kagome: If that is the way it is done..*sigh. I just don't think I could bite him and draw blood.
Myoga That is ok you can do as Lord Inu did with his Lady .
Kagome: what was that
Myoga: He bit his own wrist and offered it to Lord Inu Yasha's mother
Kagome: how do you know all of this Myoga.
Myoga: It was necessary to have witness to the Ceremony I acted as one of the witness.as did loyal members of the royal guard.
Kagome: Did you have to witness EVERYTHING?
Myoga: No my Lady I did not have to witness the final part of the ceremony but I had to be there none the less
Kagome: if you didn't have to witness it then why were you there?
Myoga: It is Necessary to have proof of the union so the royal guard and myself stood watch at the door to the chamber till we heard Lord Inu take his bride
Kagome: uhh.. I think I am gonna be sick..excuse me...
Kagome got up and ran for the door, Miroku, Sango and Kaede watched the young woman leave Inu Yasha however followed her with shippo he was worried about his future mate when she left so abruptly
Miroku: I wonder what's wrong with Kagome?
Sango: you baka this is too much for her to handle all at once.
Kaede: hai.she just found out Inu Yasha loved her...and now she has to worry about the formal mating ceremony .I believe she feels as though there is too much of a rush put on her
Myoga: Lord Inu Yasha could just skip all of the formalities and Mark her during the final step of the mating ritual .
Sango: Well I don't think the marking bothered her as much as the witness part.I don't think I would like that either.I mean some one listening as my love took me that would not settle with me...
Myoga: that is not how it is done
Sango: you just said.
Myoga: you assumed. we don't stay during the actual mating.just until my Lord howls..
Sango: you should have told Kagome this
Myoga: I didn't have the chance.. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~ Meanwhile.
Inu Yasha: Kagome are you all right?
Shippo: yeah you don't look so good..
Kagome was sitting out side leaning against a tree hugging her knees to her chest with her head resting against them.
Kagome: I am fine I just couldn't listen to anymore..this is happening way too fast I feel as though I am being pushed into something I am not ready for.
Inu Yasha had a hurt look on his face
.I love you Inu Yasha.but I don't know if I am ready to mate with you yet.not after what myoga said.
Inu Yasha: If you don't want to mate with me that's fine I already said you didn't have to.
Kagome: no Inu Yasha.I want you I just think we are going too fast we need to take this slowly..
Inu Yasha: slowly its been almost 2 years since I started this whole process ..
Kagome: what do you mean?
Inu Yasha: well the first step is protection. Since the first day I protected you .not saved you. Protected you.you have been my intended.but none knew that but Sesshoumaru and Myoga.that's why most youkai we have fought have called you my mate they saw what you did not..are you mad now?
Kagome: no Inu-Chan I am not mad.I have loved you from the first time I saw you pinned to the tree .so we both have kept our secrets
Shippo: Kagome if Inu Yasha doesn't mark you soon Kouga will still try and take you from us.he still thinks you are his mate
Kagome: I know he dose Shippo...but.. Do you want to Inu Yasha ..we can go get Myoga if ya want?
Inn Yasha: You just said you didn't want to Kagome..are you sure?
Kagome: yeah Inu Yasha I am positive...this part I am ready for..
Inu Yasha: once we do this you can't change your mind about being my mate.
Kagome: do you think I want to?
Inu Yasha: fine the brat can be witness to this we don't need anyone else...
Kagome: Inuyasha.don't
Inuyasha: what?
Kagome: Inuyasha.don't call shippo
Inu Yasha: oh that...I guess I forgot.sorry pup
Shippo: that's all rig.hey did you just call me pup?
Inu Yasha: yeah what of it you don't want me to call you that either?
Shippo: pup is fine..its way better than every thing else you call me.Kagome I think your right this sudden change is a little weird.Inuyasha is being too nice and now I cant be mean to him either.its hard.
Inu Yasha: feh.you're telling me.
Kagome: if we are going to be a family we need to start acting like it ..so get over it..are we gonna do this or not?
Inu Yasha: yeah you first kagome.
With that he took his claw and broke the skin at his collar bone until blood beaded along the cut
Inu Yasha: ya have to hurry or it will heal Kagome licked the blood from Inu Yasha's cut as shippo watched the blood tasted coppery and kagome had a knot in the pit of her stomach
Kagome: now you
Inu Yasha looked at her as she moved her hair away but instead of taking the blood he kissed her neck
Kagome: What are you doing? I thought we were .
Inu Yasha: I am trying to bring enough blood up to the surface of you skin so I don't hurt you as badly when I mark you..
Kagome: oh I see..
Inu Yasha continued kissing her and Kagome forgot all rational thoughts as she felt his tongue on her tender skin all of the sudden she felt his fangs sink deep into her neck and she had to suppress the scream rising in her throat he held his fangs in her neck until she relaxed
Inu Yasha: I am sorry kagome
Kagome: It's alright Inu Chan.
Shippo watched the two sitting in front of him a smile grew across his small face
Shippo (thought): 'finally I have a family of my very own again'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That's all for now I know that the OCC level for Inu Yasha is reaching a very high off the charts level but for this fic I need him to be calm rational and caring.Don't worry later he will turn into his old grumpy self.cept where Kagome IS concerned...hehehe! Please review! No new chapter till I get some more reviews! BTW if I haven't already said this Arigatou to all the people who have reviewed. And if anyone has any ideas for the next chapter feel free to share TTFN
