A/N: I am SO sorry it took me forever and a day to write this chapter!!!!!!!! One thousand apologies!!!! I just hope you guys haven't abandoned my story, yet! I had a major writer's block and was extremely busy with my school's musical that came out last weekend! I know it looks like I'm just making excuses, but I really was busy!

I'd like to thank Panny-chan, neatobeans, fireymoon, Sailor Saturn, Inuyasha, Ame Tenshi, and Vegetapart9, you wonderful people you!!!! On with the fic!

Disclaimer: Inu ain't mine, so don't sue me, k?


Kagome smiled, Do you want to?

Inuyasha grimaced, Shippo - his? The thought almost made him noxious.

Kagome laughed, Come on, I hear them up ahead.

Sure enough, not two minutes later, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo came walking up the path. I still can't believe you just let him take her! You two are supposed to be the responsible adults around here, ya know! the little fox-demon put on his best pouting face.

What were we supposed to do? Sango reasoned, Once Inuyasha makes up his mind about something, you know how he is! And Kagome seemed almost willing to go

Miroku spotted the miko and hanyou walking towards them, Kagome are you all right?! Inuyasha

Miroku! Sango! Shippo! Kagome smiled, looking at her friends' faces, I'm fine. Kikyo's dead.

Sango smiled, And about time too

But did Inuyasha Miroku was baffled.

I killed her. Impaled by her own sword, you might say, Kagome smiled, still in her hanyou's arms. Suddenly, a thought struck Kagome, Didn't Inuyasha say

*I'm glad I don't have to worry about gettin' old, not for a long time anyway*

Kagome what's the matter? Inuyasha hated seeing Kagome worried, he always had. He just never admitted it.

Kagome whispered and looked up at Sango, who was looking especially excited.

Kagome, guess what?! Sango broke out in a huge grin.

You're getting married. So are we, the miko smiled.

Inuyasha, you told! Oh, I wanted to surprise her! Sango frowned (for a split second anyway), Did you just say No! Really?

Kagome nodded.

Congratulations, Lady Kagome and Inuyasha. Sango and I are very happy for you, Miroku smiled.

I knew it! I was right! Shippo was bouncing all over, See? I was right all along! She IS your woman!

Shut-up you little- Inuyasha raised his fist.

Kagome gave him a look, Some things never change.

But some things do, Inuyasha grinned and held her from behind.

You guys aren't gonna -kiss- are you? Shippo made a face.

What do you think mates do, stupid?



After promising to come back before anyone got married, Inuyasha and Kagome left for Kagome's time. It was a quick enjoyable trip to Kaede's village, and after telling the old miko the good news, to the bone-eaters well.

When Kagome and Inuyasha climbed out of the well, they found that Souta was standing in the doorway of he well house with Buyo.

Souta's face broke into an instant smile, And you brought Inuyasha with you!! the young boy immediately went into hero-worship mode, Did you bring your sword?! Are you here to kill more demons?!

Souta, don't bother Inuyasha. We need to talk to mom, where is she? Kagome smiled, Why are you in here? I thought you were afraid of the well house.

Mom went to the store and I got lonely, so I came to see if you were home yet. You've been gone a long time, Mom and Grandpa are worried!

Don't over-react, Souta. When is Mom going to be back? Kagome rolled her eyes.

I dunno. Why'd Inuyasha bring you here? Doesn't he usually come to take you back there? And why are you holding hands? Do you like each other or somethin'? Souta wrinkled his nose, Aren't you going out with that Houjo guy? I don't like him that much, he's too polite. Inuyasha's way cooler!

Kagome turned bright red, Souta don't ask so many questions! So, have you, uh, eaten lunch yet? she hastily changed the subject.

Who's Houjo?! Inuyasha growled.

YOU DO LIKE HIM DON'T YOU!!! Well, Inuyasha I mean. Not Houjo. He came by yesterday, by the way, AGAIN! Souta grinned, Are you two gonna get married?!? That would be SO COOL to have Inuyasha as a brother!!! Souta's eyes bugged out and once again turned to hero-worshiping Inuyasha.

As a matter of fact, Inuyasha looked fondly at Kagome, we ARE getting married, the hanyou's face suddenly darkened, Now WHOS HOUJO?!

What!?! I was just kidding! Oh my gosh this is SO COOL! WAIT'LL I TELL MY FRIENDS! I CANT BELIEVE Souta trailed off, babbling on to himself about how cool Inuyasha was.

Ugh! We're getting no where with this! Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the wrist and dragged him past Souta to the house, Come on.

Kagome! Wait, WHOS HOUJO?! Inuyasha wasn't too pleased to hear about this Houjo character.

He's some guy at my school who seems to like me. But don't worry, the young girl abruptly stopped in the middle of the shrine grounds, You're the only one for me, she whispered close to his face. The two gently leaned in to kiss when they were shrewdly interrupted by a scratchy, squeaky voice.

Ah! Kagome! You're back! Good thing too, that nice Houjo fellow is stopping by this afternoon, Kagome's grandpa approached them from the direction of the main shrine. his face dropped, You brought the demon with you.

Grandpa, be nicer to Inuyasha! Kagome scolded, Did you say Houjo is coming by TODAY!?

Maybe. But since HE'S here, I could just say you're still bed-ridden.

You're only mad cuz I broke your piece of crap seals! Inuyasha huffed, And you'd better at least learn my name, cuz I'll be visiting a lot more often now!

Oh? And why is that?

I'M marrying your granddaughter! Inuyasha smirked.

Grandpa's jaw dropped,



KAGOME AGREED TO MARRY YOU!?!

You got it.

Suddenly Houjo appeared at the top of the stairs, What?!? Kagome's getting married?!?

A/N: I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hope that you like this one! So if you do, please review! Oh, yeah, and the next chapter should take as long cuz I already started it.
