The next morning both were found laying under the guard tree sleeping in each others arms. Shippo came out early enough to watch the sun rise and found them and smiled tilting his head and then going back to the village. He came back a few minutes later with Sanuro and Miru with him and pointed them out.

"See? I told you they cared about each other...." He trailed off as Haru stirred, stretched and yawned then snuggled back up to Cara with his arms around her protectively and trying to keep her warm.

Shippo jumped up into the tree and motioned for Miru and Sanuro to go back to the village. They obeyed but couldn't help but take one last long look at the lovers and Sanuro couldn't help but smile before she walked off.

Just as the sun had started to rise over the blue mist covered mountains Haru woke up and yawned then smiled when he looked down at the sleeping angel in his arms. I'm so lucky....and I can't believe I waited this long to tell her how I feel...what was I afraid of? he asked himself placing small kisses along her forehead and down her jaw line. She's perfect..... he told himself as he smiled examining every single one of her features and pushing her bangs back out of her face. Even her flaws are perfect.... He mused still watching her sleep snuggled up to him with her face in his chest and his arms around her.

Cara yawned and stretched then looked up at Haru and smiled at him.

"Morning baby. Sleep well?" Haru asked the smile still on his face as he pushed back her bangs again.

"Yeah, I'm fine Haru....I love you so much." Cara added trying to catch him off guard.

Haru just smiled back and replied with a kiss then said. "I love you too angel."

Cara only smiled wider and blushed a little then snuggled back into Haru's arms trying to fall back asleep.

Haru only smiled wider and held her close to him watching her sleep soundly.

"What were you afraid of Haru? Were you afraid that she wouldn't love you back? I could have told you that it wasn't true. She loves you and you know what? That won't ever change......" Shippo asked Haru as he noticed the wounded hanyou awake and watching over his not -yet -official mate.

"Honestly Shippo......I don't know what I was afraid of.....I guess I was afraid that she'd laugh at me and.....I couldn't handle that.... But now that I know that she feels the same way....I'm never letting her go." Haru answered not taking his eyes off Cara.

"What about Hitomaru? What will you do when he comes for her? You know he will." Shippo asked with a slight hint of interest in his voice.

"I can handle Hitomaru....at least I will be able to once I'm fully healed. I can only hope that he doesn't attack before then....." Haru answered still not taking his eyes off of the sleeping Cara.

"Heh....who would have thought......YOU with HER.....a hanyou with a demon princess......What's this world coming to?" Shippo asked laughing at the end when Haru gave him a look of disapproval.

"I don't know....all I know is she makes me feel increadible." Haru replied and smiled as he kept watching Cara.

"Well, what are you going to tell your parents? And what about her pack? I know that Kouga sees you as a son practically, but Imay, Sakyo, Mamaru, Katani, they all see you as rivals.....well at least Imay and Katani do, Sakyo and Mamaru see you more as a little brother. At least they know you'll take care of their little sister. But you know how protective of her Imay and Katani are. They both love her and want her affection for themselves. What do you intend to do about them?" Shippo mused as he watched Haru gently set Cara down and get up.

"I don't know Shippo. I honestly don't know, but I do know that Mamaru and Sakyo will support me. As will my family and her parents." Haru replied and smiled cockily at the fox youki. "Why are you so interested in this anyway? I thought you fancied Sanuro......"

"Shut up!" Shippo blushed as he looked back at the village for a breif moment then jumped down from the tree. "Yes, I have to admit that Sanuro is.....VERY attractive for a human. But it is because she is human that I can never let her know my feelings for her.....She'd only grow old and die while I remain as I am......you know that.....and you also know that it tears me apart inside knowing that she WILL eventually grow old and leave me behind to wallow in my misery....Why must you remind me of this consistently?"

"I remind you in hopes that you'll come to your senses and ask her already." Haru replied with a smirk.
