Chapter 10
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha confused, not sure why he had kissed her. "When did that happen?" She asked.
"A while ago." Was his only reply.
"Well that's descriptive." Kagome muttered. "Ok, why don't you tell me why you just kissed me?" Kagome asked, wondering what his answer would be.
"Why don't you tell me why you just kissed me back?" Inuyasha countered, not willing to tell his feelings unless he new hers first.
"Um..." Kagome said, blushing, "because I like you?" Kagome said, hoping she wasn't making a fool of herself.
Inuyasha smiled down at her. "Good, because I like you too, and I would hate it if you didn't feel the same." He said, bending down to whisper in her ear.
"We only have one problem." Kagome said.
"What would that be?" Inuyasha asked.
"Our families." Kagome answered.
"Damn! Sesshomaru will never let me forget this!" Inuyasha growled.
"What about me mother? She's just as annoying as Sesshomaru can be!" Kagome exclaimed, not at all happy about having such an evilly right mother.
"We could never speak to them again, and then they'd never know." Inuyasha suggested hopefully.
"No, I want to stay in touch with Sango. She is my little sister, and Sesshomaru is your brother. Either we forget this ever happened or we deal with the mocking. I-I'll be fine either way." Kagome said. 'I won't be if he chooses to forget, but I'll pretend to be.
"Damn, what do you think I am, weak? I can put up with a little teasing." Inuyasha grumbled, and received a bone crushing huge in response.
"Great, now we just have to find a way to tell them that we like each other." Kagome said.
"We could get married and spring it on them." Inuyasha said, just as a joke.
"M-married?" Kagome squeaked.
"What, you don't want to marry me?" Inuyasha asked, pouting.
"Of course I do, just, now? I mean, where, how, when?" Kagome asked, still nervous.
"Kagome relax, that was just a joke. If we do get married, then I would want to have some of my family there." Inuyasha said.
Kagome let out a sigh of relief and continued to think. "Well, we could just tell them. They might understand. It is what they were hoping for you know." Kagome said, hoping he would take the easy way.
"Feh, fine, but when they started to get annoying I will not be responsible for my actions." Inuyasha growled.
Kagome smiled at him and headed back into the house. The sun was starting to set and she wanted to get some sleep. 'Maybe I won't have that damn dream tonight.' Kagome thought. That dream had been haunting her every day since she got it, and hopefully it was done pestering her.
Kagome's wish came true, and the dream didn't return that night. When she woke up that morning she laid in bed, wondering if Kouga leaving her alone and Inuyasha liking her was just a dream. When Inuyasha walked in though she new it wasn't a dream. In his hand he carried a ring, and she was about to explode with happiness.
Inuyasha grinned at her expression. "Now what could be going threw your mind at this moment?" Inuyasha asked smugly.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" Kagome asked.
"Well, if we're going to tell our family they're going to want proof. This is the proof." Inuyasha said happily. He took Kagome's hand and placed the ring on her finger.
Kagome just stared at it in shock. It was made out of wood and had silver strands running threw it. In the center was Inuyasha's family symbol. It was a dog in mid lunge, and it looked beautiful.
"Do you like it?" Inuyasha whispered in her ear.
Kagome jumped, she hadn't even realized Inuyasha had gone behind her. "I love it! It's perfect!" Kagome squealed, turning around and hugging him. "I think we should go to my place first. My mother might be more understanding of us running away again..." Kagome said, hoping he would agree with her.
"Ok, but I have a funny feeling that my brother will be there by the end of the day." Inuyasha muttered.
They spent most of the morning packing, getting anything they thought they would need. Before leaving they went to Kaede's village and told her where they were going. They smartly left out the engaged part, knowing that she would tell Kagome's mother before they got the chance. After that they headed out, taking there time. They were not looking forward to this, but they wanted to get it over with. When they finally reached there destination it was almost night, and they were seriously thinking of just sneaking in without being noticed. But it was too late, Kikyou had spotted them.
"Kagome, Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Kikyou asked, looking at the two of them in surprise.
"Um, well..." Kagome started. She put her right hand behind her back, hoping her mother wouldn't notice. No such luck though.
"What are you trying to hide Kagome?" Kikyou asked, looking at Kagome's then Inuyasha's faces.
"Nothing?" Kagome said. She felt Inuyasha's hand on hers and felt him take off the ring. Kagome sighed in relief and smiled at her mother. "I came to see Sango." Kagome said cheerily.
"Ok." Kikyou said suspiciously.
Kagome and Inuyasha ran passed her and headed straight toward Sango's room. "Sango!" Kagome yelled as she entered her room.
"Huh? Kagome?" Sango asked as she came out of the bathroom, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, um..." Kagome said, not knowing how to tell her little sister.
"Oh, so you and Inuyasha are getting married?" Sango asked.
Kagome's eyes widened, "How did you know?" Kagome asked.
"Well, you look nervous and since you obviously came straight here you didn't want to talk with mother." Sango told her.
"Oh." Was all she could say.
Inuyasha gave her back the ring and Kagome put it on. "I'm going to go find Miroku, you can do your whole girl talk thing." Inuyasha said, backing out of the room.
Sango and Kagome stayed up all night talking and trying to figure out how to tell Kikyou the news. When they finally went to bed they still hadn't come up with anything. 'Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day...' Kagome thought before drifting off to sleep.
***End of chapter 10***
*SOB* this is the second to last chapter! I'm going to finish it in the next one.
I am sooooo sorry about taking forever to update! My dad put a restriction on the computer so now I can't go on for over two hours. I can only go on for longer on the weekends, but I have homework and stuff like that to do on the weekends. I won't be off restriction for a while probably. Sorry, but I'll try and update as soon as I can.
Well, see you next time, on the VERY LAST CHAPTER! *sob*
