Kagome and Inu Yasha both came out of the well and started to walk towards
Kaede's hut. Kagome had barely rescued Inu Yasha from being murdered by her
grandfather. He hadn't been too happy about the little surprise.
Inu Yasha kept glancing over at her, even as he did hold her hand as they walked down the road. So she was pregnant, having his child. This would make things really complicated. He didn't think he was ready to be a father. He didn't want to admit it, but the whole thing made him terrified.
Kagome stopped in her tracks and turned to face him. "I was wrong to think that I could live without you. I was wrong to think that I could survive without you. Inu Yasha.I need to be with you." She started to cry then, tears pouring down her face, her breath coming in sobs.
Inu Yasha swept her into a tight hug. It felt so good to finally be holding her again. He brushed back her hair, nuzzling her and planting kisses along her neck and up to her lips. As he held her he knew that he was no longer afraid, as long as he had her he could make it through anything.
They interrupted as a yell came from down the path. "Kagome! You're back!" It was Sango, Miroku and Shippo all running down to meet her. Inu Yasha reluctantly released her from his grasp as the others approached.
Later they all sat around the fire in Kaede's hut. She had not told them yet about her pregnancy. She wondered what they would think when she told them. She knew that she would eventually have to tell them, but for now she just needed some time to relax. She had made up her mind about one thing though.
"Everyone, I've decided, that I am going to live here in this era. I can always visit my family every once and a while. But I can't live there. Not anymore, there's nothing there for me. Everything I want is here. And that's where I decided to stay here for good."
Inu Yasha acted like it mattered nothing to him, but inside he was glowing with happiness. He didn't want the others to know how much he needed Kagome. But it was so obvious anyway. Sango and Miroku knew of Inu Yasha's deep love for Kagome.
"Are you sure this is what you wish, child?" Kaede said in a worried voice.
Kagome nodded confidently, "This is what I wish."
Inu Yasha silently left the room as Sango and Miroku started up a conversation with Kagome of her living arrangements.
Later Kagome stepped outside into the cool night's air. She sighed and fingered her hair and looked around for Inu Yasha. He would probably be up in his tree. Slowly she walked over and just as she predicated there he was sitting on the branch.
Inu Yasha sensed her approach, but simply waited. Everything was going to be so different from now on. Would Kagome want to stay with him? Would she want to be with him in this form?
"Inu Yasha? I think we need to have a serious talk. Can you please come down here?"
He didn't answer, but he dropped down on the ground next to her. "Yeah.so what do you want to talk about?" He said anxiously.
'Things are going to be very different from now on. I hope you can realize that. Also, I want you to be with me. I don't want you to leave. Please I need you." Kagome said as tears began to form in her eyes again.
Inu Yasha sighed. "Don't cry. I'm not going to leave you."
Kagome suddenly remembered something. "Inu Yasha, How come you didn't use the power of the jewel to become a full demon?"
Inu Yasha crossed his hands over his chest. "Do I have to have a reason for everything I do?" He said stubbornly.
Kagome face softened. He probably didn't use it because of me. That thought warmed inside of her.
"But if you are not going to use it, what are you going to do with it? I mean there are tons of demons after it. You'll have to fight to keep it." Kagome said worried at the thought.
"It's nothing I can't handle." Inu Yasha said as he started to walk into the forest. Kagome followed after him. They walked in the moonlight for a while in silence. Then Inu Yasha stopped and turned to look at her.
He couldn't stand it any longer. Her scent, her presence, it was all he could think about. He swept her up in his arms and kissed her over and over. She was his....She was his.....his mate.....she was his...and he......he was hers....
