Chapter 9

The next morning Inuyasha got up bright and early. He his head over his shoulder and looked at Kagome,who was still sleeping. God she's so beautiful,he thought. And just to think, I'm going to marry her now. I couldn't be anymore happier. I love you Kagome.

He moved and kissed Kagome on the cheek,and with that she started to wake up.

"Inuyasha...?"She asked as she started to wake up.

"I'm here,"he said as he kissed her again.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm all right. How about you?"

"I'm fine,now that I'm with you."

"Go back to sleep Kagome."

She nodded and went back to sleep. And with that he then slipped out of the hut without trying to wake Kagome up.

"How is she doing?"asked Sango as Inuyasha came out of the hut.

He sighed. "She's doing fine. But I don't think she wants to leave."

"I kind of figured that."

"I hate to say this,but I guess I'm a little scared now."

"About the boy hurting Kagome?"

"Yes."

"I would be too."

"I love her Sango. I don't want her to get hurt. I don't know what I'd do if she got hurt...or even worse...

"Then let us coming with you."

"No."

"What?"

"Miroku already promised that he would protect you and stay here,and that's what you need to do Sango. I'll come back and get you if I need you."

"But what about Shippou?"

"He'll stay here with you ok?"

She sighed. "All right."

"I just want to stay with her until things get figured out,ok?"

"Ok."

"Can you stay with her for a little while Sango? I need to make sure that nothing's going to happen?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

"You had better take Miroku with you."

"Where is he?"

"He's in the woods."

"All right. Thanks."

She nodded and went into the hut.

"Miroku! Are you here!"Inuyasha yelled as he entered the woods.

"You don't have to yell,"he said.

"Oh. Sorry."

"How's Kagome?"

"She's fine. I don't think she wants to leave though."

"I can understand that."

"You remember what I said right?"

"Yes."

"Ok. Good. I just talked with Sango."

"Where is she?"

"In the hut with Kagome,but I want you to stay with me for a while."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just want to make sure everything's ok before we go back."

He nodded. "Ok."

"You did anyone this morning did you?"

"Not that I know of."

"Ok. That's good."

"You guys should go while you have the chance."

"Not yet. We need to be careful. I don't want anything to happen to Kagome."

"I know that."

"Inuyasha!"yelled a voice. It was Kagome.

"Well,I had better go then."

Miroku nodded and with that Inuyasha went back to the hut to see Kagome.
