***

He drove and drove until he finally got to his little secret hideout. Only Sango and Miroku knew about it, since he has known Miroku forever, and Miroku brought Sango to this place a couple of times just to be alone. Well, he would just take Kagome, and comence with Plan A!

Plan A in action - Ice.

Plan B would be in store after Plan A... this was all apart of his plan leading to Plan C! Wow, he was making that sound so complicated in his opinion.

He stopped the car, everyone still sleeping, and opened his door, grabbing Kagome, and leaving the two other sleepy heads behind.

He carried her all the way to his secret hideout, and placing her right under his favorite tree. He loved that tree with his life, he'd always come to it and talk to it, when he had problems, and sleep up there when he had to get out of the house.

She thought she had a hotter body than Kikyou's, right? Well, now its going to get alot, colder..

He picked the ice of of the cup, and started laying them all over her stomach. He even got up the nerve to stuff some down her bra and the front of her pants. Finally, the ice that had melted in the cup, he made his final move, and poured it all over her face and body.

She jumped up with a start, shivering like crazy, and now, Inuyasha was the one on the ground, except he was laughing, not sleeping.

"Inuyasha! Whats your problem?!" Kagome screamed at him angered.

"The look on your face.. it was..haha.. PRICELESS!" He laughed even more at her.

"Am.. I.. just a game to you? Is that all? A game to be won, and left alone, in the end?" Kagome looked him dead on in the eyes, and got all the ice off of her.

He got up and held her in his arms, picking her up bridal-style. "If its a game, I don't wanna loose, and it'll be my favorite game forever." He leaned down and kissed her.

Plan B in action - Kisses and Rings

He looked down at her. "Diamonds, $1,000.00. Gold, $900.00. Velvet Box, $20.00. The look on your face after this coversation, PRICELESS." He smiled and looked at her again, and put her down on her back gently.

"Kagome.. you have been the kindest person to me, since we started becoming friends, and your smile always helped. Your so gentle and nice to your friends, and I don't know what they would do without you.. you always have that fire spirt within you, and you sure know how to punch!" He chuckled at the comment.

Kagome was watching him, having no idea what he was getting at, but what she didn't know, was she would be understanding VERY shortly..

"I have always been there for you, and I plan to be. I want to protect you, keep you from harm for the rest of my life.. that is, if you'll accept me to do so..."

Kagome was starting to get it, and she was on the brink of tears, about to let it all go.. she was waiting for him to finish.. say those words, holding on..

"I love you Kagome. Will you marry me?" He held out a small black velvet box, and kneeled down next to her, inside was a ring, a golden band with three small dimonds on the front of it.

She let it go.

She jumped into his arms, crying into his silky silver hair, and Inuyasha pat her back, rubbing it in circular motions. He whispered in her ear once more, "I love you, Kagome."

She smiled, and looked at him. "I will marry you.. I love you too, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha just took his arms away from Kagome, and took the ring out of its box. He took Kagome's left hand in his, and slipped the ring on her ring finger.

Kagome was watching him as he did this, with utmost care, and when he finally slipped it on her finger, he kissed it, and looked into her eyes, "Your mine now, mate."

**THUMP**

Question: Wait, was there supposed to be a thump there?

Answer: No.

Question: Or shuffling noises from the bush for that matter?

Answer: No.

Inuyasha got up from where he was and opened the bush, dividing it into two, already knowing what he was going to see.

Sango and Miroku. "Uh, hey there buddy! We were just umm.. checking for ticks in the grass, to make sure you didn't get any! I mean that hair of yours, who would want ticks to infest it..heh.." Miroku looked at Inuyasha and he just snorted.

(Insert weird and loud snort here.)

"Feh. You guys sure know how to ruin the mood huh? And I was just about to move onto Plan C. Damn you guys!" He bonked them both over the head, and walked away.

"C'mon Kags, we gotta get back to the car now." He picked her up and ran to the car.

God, she loved it when he used that nickname. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside... But what she didn't like, was the fact, that she was going up against the wind, and she was freezing! And she couldn't ask Inuyasha for his jacket, for he wore no shirt either. Damn party.. she just cuddled up to his warm chest, and got some of that needed sleep..

Miroku had been carrying Sango to the car as well, except walking, he was almost there anyway. Sango also had fallen asleep, and he loved watching her face. Man, him and Inuyasha had it good. Go them!

They both arrived to the car, and got in. They both placed their loved ones in the back of the car, to lie down. Inuyasha was just about to put the key's in the car when he heard the snoring lightly next to him, Miroku.

If everyone else was sleeping, to hell with him. He turned on the radio lightly, and cuddled up to the back of his seat, and fell asleep.

But not before hearing the song, that made him get the courage up to ask Kagome.. when he was planning to ask her, this song had come on. He caught bits and pieces of this song, while drifting in and out of his dream like state.

*"...but we all bleed the same way as you do...

And we all have the same things to go through...

Hold on if you feel like letting go...

Hold on it gets better then you know..."*

He knew he had to hold on to his ideas, and his love for Kagome. Then, it would all get better.. yes.. he loved this song now..

*"...hold on if you feel like letting go...

Hold on it gets better then you know...

Dont stop looking your one step closer...

Dont stop searching its not over...

Hold on..."*

He knew he was only one step away from winning Kagome's heart back then, and he knew he would never give up on trying it either. His eye lids started dropping down..

*"... if you feel like letting go...

Hold on it gets better then you know...

Hold on..."*

It always got better, after it got worse.. Kagome and him had fights, they never got along.. then.. in the end, the fell in love. It was a fairy-tale in the real world. This.. this is how he wanted life to be.. forever.

He fell asleep, the sunset, grazing the car, and shining the warm glow of the sun, on their faces.

They were all happy, thats all that mattered right? Naraku was dead, no more trouble for them. Sango and Miroku were together and safe. Now, finally, Inuyasha and Kagome were together..

And safe.

No more deaths. No more cuts, no more blood, no more violence. It was the end. Everyone was happy and content. They'd all stay together in the end, and no one would ever tear them apart. Best friends for life, no matter what the circumstances. This is what he thought.

This, was the first time, right here and now, Inuyasha finally knew, the true meaning of friendship..

*"Hold..on.......""*

Next Installment for all of them, MARRIAGE!

Light snoring came from the car that morning, and it was destined to be a blessed day. A warm pink glow came from Inuyasha's chest, surrounding him and Kagome. They both smiled in their dreams, and they were sure from now on, everything would be okay.

*"Hold..on.......""*

But...what he didn't know, was that Kagome could see a little bit of the future, and she saw.... that they would need to hold on....for the worst WAS about to come.

***

AN: The worst IS about to come. Review to find out, my friends.

NOTE: I'm letting you know, that Kagome doesn't say anything about the future, only because she doesn't think its true. JUST REMEMBER THAT!

I'll update when I can, as I said before, reviews help. Most likely, I'll update when I get 530, but I may update earlier or later. Who knows. Its all good.
