Chapter 10: The Marking
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Shippo * a tear slides down face *
(A/N) I would like to thank all my reviewers! Thank you guys and I love you all!
The next Day in the Evening
"Kagome." Souta said.
"What?" I sighed.
"I'm tired and hungry." He whined.
"We should stop and make camp." Inuyasha said looking up at the sky. "It's getting late."
"Alright." I said. I shouted to Miroku and Sango that we were going to make camp in the forest tonight.
Miroku and Sango left with Kirara to find firewood and Souta and Shippo left to play leaving me alone with Inuyasha.
"So uh, we should.. probably clear the.ground so um... no one could lay on something hard." Inuyasha stuttered.
"Ok." We started picking things up and about a half-hour later, it was clear. "Now that that is finished, we have nothing else to do."
"Well, we could talk." Inuyasha said coming around me and holding me tightly against him.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked smiling.
"Well, first I want to know what happened in your time during the months that you weren't here and then I want to talk about our future." Inuyasha sat on the ground with me in his lap. I told him about my training and Souta's. I also told him what my reaction was when I found out I was a hanyou. He asked if I liked it and I told him that I was scared at first but I was happy because I could fight by his side and I wouldn't be a weak jewel detector. When Inuyasha heard me say that he got angry.
"You're not just a fuckin damn jewel detector! And you were never weak!"
"Gomen. I won't ever say it again."
"That's more like it.
"Now about our future. Before we become actual mates, we have to mark eachother and share a drop of blood and then on the next full moon, we got to do it." I said blushing.
"Do what?" Inuyasha asked teasingly.
"You know what." I was now blushing like a tomato.
"No, I don't know. Why don't you tell me?" He asked innocently.
"We would have to get all fleshy." I was now the brightest red anyone had ever scene. I'm going to kill him
"What do you mean, "get all fleshy"?"
"I mean that were going to have to have sex!" I shouted.
"What?!" Came Souta and Shippo's voice from the bushes with wood in their arms.
"Nothing." Inuyasha and I muttered moving away from eachother.
Souta and Shippo put the wood in the middle of the clearing and then they went back into the woods to search for more firewood with a smirk on their faces. I walked to the pile, concentrated on it and within a second, we had a foot high blazing fire.
"Wow! You can blow things up AND start fires. What other things can you do?" Inuyasha asked impressed.
"I can do a lot of things like levitate, freeze time, and have nature obey.
"What do you mean, "have nature obey"?"
"I can make it rain, snow, stuff like that. I just have to concentrate a bit. Oh! I just learned a new one!" I said excitedly.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked getting impatient.
"I can read people's minds! It's so much fun! But never do it to Miroku! Ew! I could probably do without knowing what he is thinking." I said making a discussed face. If Sango ever found out what he was thinking then she would probably beat the living shit out of him!
"Have you read mine?"
"Not yet. I don't really want to. I kinda already know what you're thinking." Sometimes. That's what happens when you've been around someone for nearly 3 years!
"What am I thinking?" He asked mischievously.
I had no clue what he was thinking because his face didn't show anything so I concentrated and in a second I heard it. It was soft but I could hear it. Wow. He is almost like Miroku! Demanding!
"You want to mark me now? In two days there is going to be a full moon. That is way too quick!"
"You read my mind didn't you?" He said smiling.
"So! And I hope I don't have to again! You are so demanding!"
"So! And it's not early if you love someone as much as I love you!" He said stubbornly.
"I guess. But what about my pack? They will probably know that we just marked eachother and probably won't think highly of me."
"What if they found us and I didn't mark you? Then we wouldn't be able to stay together without embarrassing ourselves."
I got up and walked to Inuyasha. "Then let's do it." Inuyasha leaned forward, tilted his head, and kissed my neck gently.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." I whispered back.
When the words left my mouth, Inuyasha bit down on my neck. When he pulled back a little I waited a second and then I went to his neck and bit down. I sucked a little blood and then I pulled back, bit my lip and smeared my blood into his. "Now we wait till the full moon." I said now looking into his eyes lovingly.
"Miroku. I didn't say that I didn't want to have a baby. It's too dangerous to have one since Naraku is still alive. Once he is dead then we will think about it, ok?" Sango asked coming out of the forest carrying wood with Miroku and Kirara behind her also carrying wood.
"Alright dear Sango. I'll wait until then." Miroku said putting his pile of wood next to Sango's.
"What took you guys so long?" Inuyasha asked.
"We thought we would let you and Kagome spend sometime together. You haven't seen eachother in 5 months!" Said Sango.
"I guess they did more than just talking." Miroku said smirking like crazy.
"Miroku! Stop being a hentai!" Sango yelled throwing a rock at him.
"Ow! But look at their necks! There's blood there AND on their mouths! They were necking!" Miroku shouted.
"That is probably something they do when they start to have sex." Shippo whispered to Souta coming back with more firewood.
"What the hell are you two doing?" I asked with my hands on my hips and tail wagging angrily.
"Coming back with more fire wood. Duh!" Souta said rudely.
"Whatever." Everyone got their beds ready, with the exception of Inuyasha who sleeps in the trees still, while I got dinner ready. "Alright everybody. Dinners ready." When I looked up, I saw Inuyasha drooling all over himself standing with an empty bowl ready to be filled with the delicious ramen that he so loves and craves for everytime when it is time to eat. "Hungry?"
"Uha!" Inuyasha said moving his head up and down violently.
"He finished the ramen that you left in three days." Shippo said.
"He must really miss it." I said looking at Inuyasha and smiling evilly. I filled everyone's cup with ramen besides Inuyasha.
"Hey! Where's mine?" He whined.
"Oh? Did I forget you? I'm sorry Inuyasha, I guess I didn't make enough ramen for you." I then took my cup and took a large amount of ramen, put it in my mouth, and ate it slowly making Inuyasha drool even more.
"Make some more."
"Sorry. Too~ lazy!"
"Then if you won't make me any, then I'll steal yours!" He reached to grab my cub but I got up and started to run around the campfire.
"Go Kagome!" "Get her!" "Eat it before he gets it!" "Inuyasha! You can do it!" Everyone yelled cheering for either Inuyasha or me.
I turned my head and saw Inuyasha hot on my tail. Literary! While I was looking back I didn't see my bag in front of me so I tripped and landed on my back with ramen all over me. I looked up and saw Inuyasha looking down at me laughing with the rest of the group. "Now look what you made me do!" I scolded him. Inuyasha just smiled, leaned over me and then started eating the ramen off of me. "What are you doing!" I shrieked making him wince.
Inuyasha looked up from eating with a smirk on his face. "I'm hungry! You wouldn't make another batch so I'm eating yours!" He said and then continued eating the ramen that was still on me.
"Inuyasha!" I yelled hurting his ears and mine as well.
"What?!" I heard him muffle.
"Not in front of Shippo and Souta!" I said as serious as I could because he was licking my ticklish spot.
"But I'm having so much fun!" Inuyasha whined but reluctantly got off and helped me up.
""Now I'm going to have to take a bath!"
"Then we could take one together." He said smirking.
"No. I want to take a bath by myself and if you fallow then I'll say the s word till you reach the other side of the earth!"
"Fine." He muttered unhappily.
I gathered all my supplies that I needed from my backpack. "I'll be back soon." I left and headed towards the hot spring. "Hmmm, this is so relaxing." I said as I lowered myself in the spring. A while later, my ear twitched when I heard a twig snap behind me. "Inuyasha! I thought I told you that I didn't want you to come!" When no one answered, I started to freak out. "Who's there?" I yelled and then I sensed three shards. I quickly got out and wrapped a towel around my body. "You can come out now."
A figure stepped out from behind the bush with a smirk on his face with a hint of hurt shown also.
"Hello Kagome."
(A/N) I hoped you liked this chapter. I wonder who the figure is. Well you will find out in the next chapter! So say tuned and wait until then!
P.S. I have 18 chapters written out so far. I think chapter 20 or 21 would be the end of this fic. I still haven't decided to do a sequel yet but most likely I will I haven't decided on what it will be about yet. If I do then I'll tell you when I post chapter 13 up. Ja!
