InuYasha remained leaning against the wall not more than a foot from Kagome's futon. It was early morning about the crack of dawn when the half dog-demon stirred from his light sleep and peered through half-lidded eyes at the girl that he learned to love; he wouldn't admit it but that fact was extremely true. He didn't know why he fell for her or when for that matter but it never seemed important to him....until now. It seemed horribly weak in his mind to admit his feelings so freely in his mind for some odd reason but he couldn't help it, he felt so guilty and felt that he was the cause of her sickness by just loving her, and for putting her through that pain.
A soft moan stirred him from his guilty thoughts and his eyes immediately went to Kagome's face and saw her squint at the invading sun. she woke slowly and found one of her hands laying in InuYasha's Tetsusaiga and she was immediately awake and found him close to her bedside. She saw immense guilt on the surface of his eyes and she knew why. She wouldn't admit it to him is possible but when she was sick she would awake at the smallest of noises so she caught every word passed between Kaede and InuYasha last night. She tried to prop herself up on her elbows but InuYasha's clawed hand gently tried to push her shoulder down back onto the futon.
"You should remain resting" he replied in a low sorrowful voice that Kagome rarely ever heard.
"I'm fine InuYasha" she replied a little groggily from the long slumber.
"No your not Kagome" he replied firmly and pushed back onto the futon "You don't even know what's wrong with you do you?" he questioned normally now.
"In fact I do" Kagome replied before she could stop herself and she mentally yelled 'BAKA!!!'((idiot)) at herself.
"You heard me and Kaede-baba?"((baba is a offensive term for and old woman or grandmother))
"You were a little loud" Kagome said offering a weak smirk.
"Hmph" InuYasha replied softly but then blushed immensely.
"What InuYasha?" Kagome asked as the Hanyou ((half-demon)) started staring at his lap. She then thought of last nights talk with Kaede then blushed a weak pink before understanding.
An uncomfortable silence passed before Kagome started coughing again deeply. InuYasha snapped up and realized why, Tetsusaiga wasn't in her grip or near it anymore.
He quickly picked Tetsusaiga up and pulled her hand from her mouth and clasped her hand over Tetsusaiga and the coughing immediately ceased.
"How does that-"
"Work? It works for me so I can't see why it can't for you" he replied simply and didn't remove his hand from over her hand that was gripping the hilt of Tetsusaiga.
She couldn't help but stare at their enclosed hands; it felt so perfect like they were created for the other hand and his palm felt so warm and comforting against the back of her hand. She suddenly felt him grip her upper arm gently and pull her upright; she looked him in the eye looking for an answer and couldn't find one.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked as he had her sitting up.
He didn't reply but gently scooped her up bridal style and whispered in her ear "somewhere where we won't be spied on" before leaping out the small window and keeping a tight yet gentle grip on Kagome.
She gasped as he ran out the empty hut and into the forest which was named after him; it was so unlike him to just scoop her up and run off with her but she wanted to know why he was starting to become so secretive.
*~*~*
To Kagome it seemed that they were running around in circles and she was starting to fell dizzy every now and then but kept the sword's hilt in her hand that was conveniently scooped up with her. She finally felt him start to slow down and finally stop at the great Goshinboku ((God Tree)). He walked over; Kagome still in his arms and sat down where there was a big space in between the wild roots.
"Seemed awfully long to get here" Kagome stated to him to break that silence that was slowly starting to envelope them.
"We were being followed by other demons and instead of killing them and risking your health any more I had to run around a lot to make them loose track of our scents" he told her. He wrapped one of his arms around her waist and pulled her closer and let her rest her head on his shoulder which she did gradually.
They sat in a comfortable silence for awhile, listening to the sounds of twittering birds and the wind whistling through the skeletal branched of the God Tree; Kagome suddenly ended the silence.
"InuYasha.........what did you mean last night by 'marking'?"
Poor InuYasha didn't expect that question, in fact, the whole reason that he brought her to the Tree was so that he could talk to her about it and was having trouble with asking her. Kagome noticed the vibrant blush growing on the half-demon's face and wondered what it meant. After all it seemed that he had to...well....mark something that would help her.
"Keh! Why did you need to ask this now" he said gruffly while trying his best to hide his obvious embarrassment.
"Well sorry! But it has to do with my life now does it?!" Kagome said starting to get a little mad at his sudden change in behavior.
"Obviously!" InuYasha barked back before catching Kagome off guard and pulling her closer "if you really did hear all of that conversation then you would know that this affects both of us.....but I would hope that you would not take this lightly"
"You mean marking?"
"Yes! Once it's done it's done and you can't turn back" InuYasha said his voice returning to normal from the slight yelling they were both doing and turned to stare deeply into her eyes.
Kagome was caught off guard again by the tone of his voice and her heart started to beat faster within her ribcage; she leaned back on his chest and started to listen to his heartbeat for a couple of moments before asking "so....what is it?" she asked in a calm voice.
InuYasha shuffled a little nervously and leaned his head lightly on Kagome's. "It's like that mare-reige thing in your era"
"You mean 'marriage'?" Kagome asked a small smile flashing across her face.
"Yea whatever......except once you mark someone they become you mate" InuYasha paused before casting his gaze to in between the spacious branches of the godly tree. Kagome automatically thought about when Koga, the infamous wolf prince, when he declared her his mate. "But once this happens.....no one is allowed to touch their partner and if the partner is caught cheating....they have to be killed" InuYasha continued softly "there is no way to turn back and undo the process......you can't change your mind".
Kagome listened to his words and felt her heart start to beat faster than its normal rate and started to compare the beats with InuYasha's.
"InuYasha......last night....I'm not sure if I heard you and Kaede correctly....but you were wondering if I doubted wanting to be with you?" Kagome asked in a voice just above a whisper.
InuYasha automatically felt his heart twang with guilt, doubt and....fear? "Yea...." he replied just as softly "I just don't want you to...."
"I won't" Kagome said quickly not letting the trail off hang "but.....are you doing this because my life is in danger?" Kagome asked sadly hoping beyond hope for the right answer.
InuYasha tilted his head so that he could get a good whiff of Kagome's hair; "I promise you that..." he began in a husky voice "that is not the only reason........."
Kagome felt like a little girl again, dreaming of being in love with her 'prince in shining armor' but the only difference was that her prince was in red fire-rat robe and not a silver armor suit.
"Kagome......do you accept my offer to be your mate?" InuYasha asked her in a exotic little voice never heard by Kagome's ears.
Kagome started crying and buried her face into the front of InuYasha's front of his robe. "I-I accept" Kagome replied to him in a jagged whispery voice.
InuYasha felt his heart leap when she said 'accept' and he dug his nose into her hair in taking her scent which was starting to change because of her blood. He heard a soft giggle and immediately withdrew and looked down at Kagome.
"That tickled..." she said a little embarrassingly.
InuYasha arched one of his eyebrows and smirked at her as she lightly hit his shoulder with her fist and smiled at the look on his face.
"Er.....what exactly do you have to do to 'mark' me?" Kagome asked while adverting her gaze feeling the blush creep of over her cheeks.
InuYasha blushed as well before replying.
"I just have to bite your shoulder and kiss you" he replied.
Kagome was fighting the urge to raise her eyebrow and rested once again against him.
"When do you have to do this?"
"As soon as possible" he replied while snuffing into her hair again.
Kagome fought the urge to giggle again and replied softly "tonight...."
