Chapter 16
"Feel better, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked after bandaging up his wounds. "Yeah, a lot better." He responded. "How in the world did you stop Kiaku, anyways?" Inuyasha asked. "It's complicated. Maybe I'll explain it to you one day." Kagome said with a smile. Just then, Kagome's mom walked into the room. "Are you feeling better now?" She asked Inuyasha. "Yes, I'm fine. I don't want anyone else to ask me that tonight!" Inuyasha said, a little annoyed with all of the attention. Kagome's mom smiled, and just as she was about to leave the room, Inuyasha stopped her. "Mrs. Higurashi? I need to talk to you. In private." Inuyasha said. "What do you need to talk to my mom about?" Kagome asked, confused. "Oh, nothing important." Inuyasha said quietly, his face turning a bright shade of red. "Okay." Kagome got up and left the room, very confused.
"Okay, I don't know how to tell you this." Inuyasha said, his face still red. "You can feel free to tell me anything, Inuyasha." Mrs. Higurashi said. "Alright. Mrs. Higurashi, I love your daughter! I want to be with her for the rest of my life!" Inuyasha blurted out. "You... love my Kagome? That's great!" Mrs. Higurashi said. "T..that's great?" Inuyasha managed to mumble. "Yes! It's obvious that Kagome loves you! This will make her happier than anything!" Mrs. Higurashi squealed. "You mean... you're not against us being together?" Inuyasha asked. "No! Of course not! Why would I be?" Mrs. Higurashi responded. "Well, I have a couple questions to ask you then." Inuyasha said, beaming with happiness. "First, how does marriage work in this time?" He asked. "Well, first a man gives the woman that he loves an engagement ring. As he gives her the ring, he asks her to marry him. After that, the two lovers set a wedding date, and on that day they get married!" Mrs. Higurashi explained. "Okay. Mrs. Higurashi, if Kagome wishes it to be so, could I have her hand in marriage?" Inuyasha asked, bright red blush still evident. "He's asking for my daughter's hand in marriage! This is.... wonderful!!" She thought. "Of course you can, Inuyasha! I would love it if you would become a part of our family!" Mrs. Higurashi said joyfully. "Great!! Uh... one more question, though. How do I get an engagement ring?" Inuyasha asked.
Later that day - "Kagome! Inuyasha and I are going out to pick up some groceries. We'll be back in awhile!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled as she walked out the door with Inuyasha. "Inuyasha is going grocery shopping with her? How did mom convince him to do that?" Kagome thought to herself. As Inuyasha walked up to the jewelry store with Mrs. Higurashi, he looked at all of the rings through the window. "Um, aren't those expensive? How will I ever pay you back if you buy one of those for me?" Inuyasha asked. (Author's Note - In this story, Kagome's mom is rich. Don't ask me how she became rich, but it takes care of all of the issues involving money very nicely. Tonyf ) "Don't worry about paying me back, Inuyasha. I have plenty of money. As long as this makes Kagome happy, it makes me happy!" Mrs. Higurashi replied. With that, they walked into the store. They browsed through the selection of rings, none of them catching Inuyasha's eye at first. Finally, he noticed one ring in particular that was special. He realized that the jewel in the middle of the ring looked just like the shikon jewel! "This ring would be perfect!" Inuyasha said, pointing at the ring. "We'll take it." Mrs. Higurashi told the sales clerk.
They walked out of the store, Inuyasha with the ring in his hand and a grin on his face. Now, he had to think of when the perfect time to propose would be. Inuyasha quickly became lost in thought, but Mrs. Higurashi snapped him out of it. "We need to go to the grocery store, Inuyasha. If we don't pick up some groceries, Kagome will be suspicious." She said. "Uh, sure." Inuyasha responded. They quickly walked in and picked up a few groceries, not really caring what they grabbed. Inuyasha carried the bags out, and they headed back home.
How will Inuyasha pop the question? How will Kagome respond to it? Find out soon in Chapter 17.
