A/N - I guess I was meant to write this chapter the same day as the last, even though I threatened not to post it for a while.

Last time

"You are such an animal,"

"And you love me for it,"

"Heh, or so you think,"

"What is that supposed to mean?!!!" screamed following a laughing Kagome out of the room.

This time ~the next day~

Inu Yasha woke with the sun the next day startled.

'Why is there someone in my bed?' he thought slowly looking down.

As soon as he saw Kagome's angelic, sleeping face he remembered what had happened the night before.

'I can't believe that I finally did it, I admitted my feelings for her. What surprises me more is that she told me that she had the same feelings. I thought for sure that she would turn me away in disgust.'

"What are you thinking, Inu Yasha?"

Startled he looked down to see that Kagome had awakened without him noticing.

"I was just reflecting on how much my life has changed,"

"Is it a good change?"

"Very," he said kissing her.

"I am glad,"

"I love you, Kagome,'

"I love you too, Inu Yasha. Come we have to get dressed. We have a big day ahead of us."

"Are you going to tell the others?"

"I was wondering if you would notice, and no I am not. Not yet at least, if they are smart I am sure they will be able to tell."

"Would you listen to me if I told to stay here and not fight?"

"No,"

"That is what I thought. Come on we have to get ready for battle,"

"You are really not going to stop me from fighting?"

"As much as I would like to, no. I have learned not to try and stop you from doing things that you want to do. You end up doing them anyway."

"I have taught you something already, my puppy."

"Puppy?"

"Well Rin has Fluffy for Sesshomaru and Keiko has Jerk for Yuske and Sango has a choice from Hentai, Monk, of Houshi. I need a nickname for you too."

"I am not going to win this argument am I?"

"No,"

"That is what I thought," Inu Yasha said sighing as he got out of bed.

~In the hall~

"Are we ready?" asked Hiei.

"We are just waiting for my brother and Kagome."

"They better hurry. I am in the mood to kill something"

"*cough*, Kuwabara *cough*"

"Shut up Kurama! The faster I kill that idiot the faster I get my sister back then we can go home and I can be united with Mr. Snuggles again!" said Hiei cheering. "What?" he said looking at everyone who was looking at him strangely.

"Don't worry everyone, you get used to it after a while. God knows I have."

"I said to shut up, Kurama," which earned him a glare which silenced Hiei immediately.

"Kurama, you have to tell us how you do that," said Yuske earning a glare from Hiei.

"Well, it is very simple you see you just have to know his weaknesses. Such as."

"Ha, ha, ha don't listen to him, Yuske," said Hiei nervously covering Kurama's mouth.

"Darn and I would have liked to know his weaknesses too," said Inu Yasha coming into the hall.

"Where have you been?"

"Fluffy, leave them alone. We are lucky they are out this early. Remember how long it was before we left our room after we mated for the first time?"

"Ah, sweet memories," said Sesshomaru with sparkles in his eyes.

"Sorry, everyone, I know we are late," said Kagome stepping into the hall.

As soon as she was in 'smelling range' Sesshomaru's, Hiei's, and Kurama's faces lifted and they took a sniff of the air and exchanged glances.

"You are going to let her fight,"

"Of course, why wouldn't, Kurama?" said Inu Yasha giving a nervous/warning glance.

Sesshomaru catching on said "It was just that Kurama thought that you would want her to stay home after you claiming her as your mate and all."

"Yes" said Hiei when he too realized what was going on.

"Of course, that is what I was implying," said Kurama giving Inu Yasha a knowing glace "you can't keep Kagome from doing something that she feels is important to do herself."

"Well, if you four have finished it is time for us to leave," said Miroku giving the three deamons and the one half deamon a confused glance.

"Yes let us go,"

A/N - So how was it???????????? Do you know what Kagome's and Inu Yasha's secret is? If you do review and tell me and I will post on my next fic if you are right or wrong!
