I'd Give It All Away

Chapter V: Night of the New Moon Part 2

by Karen Burikko

Warning: This story is rated 'R' for a reason. No one under the age of 17 should read this...although I know this is doing no good so I'll just shut up...

Disclaimer: See first Chapter.

Authoress' Note: Wow...eleven reviews. I think I broke a record, or is it my wrist? Anyways..thanks for those who take the time out to review... believe it or not, it encourages me... but I don't strive off of reviews as most people, they just help from time to time when I think my writing's lousy.

Just a minor note: Not all characters are in this story... Shippo, I think, is only in a chapter or two...Kikyo will more than likely not appear... I don't have anything against Inu/Kikyo fans, nor Kikyo in general, but I think she's better paired with Sesshomaru or Koga.. You get the idea.

Okay, on with the story.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later on that day, after dinner had been made, eaten, and the table had been cleared, Inuyasha and Kagome finally emerged from upstairs. Kagome walked in front of Inuyasha, her hand in his.

"Inuyasha!" Souta exclaimed. Inuyasha grinned at the young boy. "Want to play a video game?"

"Souta, let us get something to eat first," Kagome said as Inuyasha followed her into the kitchen.

"Oh, okay...but what were you two doing up there?" Souta asked causing both of them to freeze.

"Um...We were watching movies."

"Oh." Souta said as he sat down by Inuyasha while Kagome pulled out two bowls and spooned the leftover oden into them.

"What kind of soda do you want?" Kagome asked turning to Inuyasha and handed him the bowl.

"Nani?"

"What flavor of soda? We have original ramune, melon, peach, kiwi, strawberry...ah, and some Coke."

"Uh..Melon I guess." he said as he attacked the oden mercilessly. He needed to keep up his strength with his new activity.

Kagome sat down and placed the sodas on the table and began to eat quietly. The total opposite of her apparantly starving hanyou mate.

"Souta, it's time to do your homework." Mrs. Higurashi told him as she entered the room.

Souta glanced at his mother with a tint of hope, but he sighed. "Okay."

Once he was out of hearing range, Mrs. Higurashi sat down and looked at Kagome. "What happened today?"

Kagome lowered her chopsticks. "Hmm?"

"In the bathroom.."

Kagome blushed. "Ah..m long story."

"I have time."

"To sum it up, mother, Inuyasha and I are now mates...."

"Well, I'm happy for you."

Kagome grew wide eyed. She'd expected many reactions, but not that. "Nnani?"

"Kagome, you're old enough now... I have nothing against it as long as you finish school, and you have a marrage here so I can invite our friends and family."

Inuyasha choked.

"Uh, mom..."

"Mrs. Higurashi laughed at the expression on her son-in-law's face. "Don't worry, we can have it on the night of the new moon... Hey, that reminds me, isn't there one tonight?"

"I think so.." Inuyasha spoke up with a little agitation in his voice. He hated it when he changed human..He felt so weak.

"Back to the wedding.." Kagome spoke up, knowing that the new moon wasn't something he enjoyed talking about.

"Oh, yes! We can have it a month from now. I need to start making some calls." she said as she quickly got up and raced to find the cordless phone.

Kagome sighed and cleared the soda bottles and bowls. She then gazed out the window at the setting sun and she felt two strong arms surround her waist. "So much will be differnet now.." she thought aloud.

"Yes, because it'll be so much better." Inuyasha said as he nuzzled the back of her neck.

"Inuyasha?"

"Mmhmm?"

"Where will we live? What about school? I have exams soon and-"

He turned her around so she could see his quickly changing form and kissed her gently to silence her worries. "Leave that for later days, Kagome, and let us concentrate on the present."

She sighed. He was right.

"I love you." he whispered, sending a chill down her spine.

"I love you too." She gave him a chaste kiss and walked hand in hand back to her bedroom.

Once upstairs, she decided that the idea of watching movies sounded like a good one, and picked up the remote as Inuyasha pulled her nearly into his lap as they began to spend a quiet, romantic evening of peace.

~*~*Downstairs*~*~

Mrs. Higurashi smiled as she dialed her sister's number. "Hello Taka, could I speak to your mother?" she tapped her ink pen on the table as she waited. "Hello sister! I have great news! .....No, No... Kagome's getting married! Yes, it's wonderful! Oh, yes he is handsome... Yes... One month from now...Yes......Okay, I'll call you Thursday with more information. Bye!"
