Breaking the Ice

Chapter Thirteen

Kagome awoke the next morning to something soft and fluffy. She snuggled closer. Then she remembered the turn of events that had happened not to long ago. She also remembered that Sesshomaru had confessed his love to her. She smiled. Then she heard slight giggles. To her supreme horror Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kirara, Sesshomaru's parents, and her parents were staring at her. She almost fell out of bed if it weren't for Sesshomaru who caught her.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"Kagome!" her mother smiled at her. "I am so sorry for the way I treated you. I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me." Her mother was back to normal. Just like she was before she turned cold like Kikyo. "Of course I will." She never had been happier. Sesshomaru stared at the queen and king. 'Perhaps I should ask her now.'

"Ahem, Kagome, can I please speak with you?"

Everyone stared at him, their smiles broadening.

"Alone!"

Everyone scurried out of the room. Not without Miroku screaming and flailing his arms in the air saying, "Woo Hoo! You go Sesshomaru! Aw, come on Sango! I want to see!" No sooner he fell unconscious. "Stupid lecher." Sango and Inuyasha dragged him out of the room. As soon as he was sure that no one was listening he cleared his throat.

"So what did you want to tell me?"

"K-Kagome, d-do y-you.................."

'Crap I'm stuttering.'

"Sesshomaru, are you alright?"

"Yes, Kagome I have something I want to ask you."

"Yes?"

"Do you want to marry me?"

He pulled out a ring. Kagome's eyes started to water. This alarmed Sesshomaru to no end. "I'm sorry I understand if you don't want to be my mate, after all, inu youkai mate for life and all." He said with his voice saddened. "No, no, that isn't it Sesshomaru, I would love to be your mate. I'm crying because I'm happy."

"So you will be my mate?"

"Of course I would."

"Kagome, you melted my heart and you broke through the ice that no one else could, I love you."

"I love you too."

Outside

"Jeez how embarrassing."

"Tell me about."

"My son can't stop stuttering!"

sigh

Inside

whisper

"Kagome I think someone is outside."

Kagome walks quietly over to the door. Then abruptly opens it. 'NEWS FLASH! Lords of the lands get caught eavesdropping! EXTRA! EXTRA!' The moment she opened the door, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Inuyasha, Kirara, and their parents piled up. Then Miroku had to open his big mouth. "WOO HOO! You da man!" SLAP!

Later

"Kagome I hope you understand that you will be able to live longer now that you and I are mates."

"Really? So now I can always be with you?

"Yes."

They arrived at dinner. They still had Naraku to deal about. He would suffer for hurting Kagome. They would discuss that matter another day. For now, they would plan the wedding and such.

"Are you my new daddy?" Two large turquoise orbs stared up at him. 'It's that kitsune. Well if he regards Kagome as his mother and I am her mate then I'm supposing then he would be my adopted pup.' He looked down at the eager eyes. "Yes, I suppose that I am your new dad." The kitsune smiled broadened. "Yay!" He jumped onto the unsuspecting youkai. As soon as dinner was done everyone went to sleep. They had had enough events for one day.

Sesshomaru and Kagome were now sharing one room along with Shippo. He wrapped his arms around her. He inhaled her scent. It was wonderful. She smelled of jasmine and lilies. 'I will never let you go again Kagome.' He nuzzled her hair. He held her this way all night. They never wanted this moment to end.

For Sesshomaru, this feeling was even more confusing. He had never felt so protective of anyone else. He hadn't cared for anyone else for a while. Last, he hadn't been loved by anyone else in a long time. He didn't want to lose something that he had just found. 'No, I will not lose the one thing I love so much.' It was surprising really, the fact that they had met only about 2 weeks ago and he had grown to her so fast. His half brother had tried to do that many times and failed. Where as this girl had only met him and unintentionally caused him to feel this way. He stared at the angel he had in his arms. Even if none of this had happened he would have chosen her over Kikyo anyways. Kikyo was cruel and cold. Even though he acted the same way, that was not who he was. He would never have turned against his own kin like THAT. The two sisters, just like he and Inuyasha except worse. They were alike in the sense that they were twins. He and Inuyasha were separated by age. But though they had their differences, no matter how much they said they would, he would never kill Inuyasha and Inuyasha would never kill him. But Kagome and Kikyo should be closer. They were twin sisters. One with great elegance, pride, and beauty while the other is spoiled, ugly, rude, and irrational. Kagome was pure of heart. Kikyo was tainted to the core. How could they be so different?

Naraku's Castle

"Come out Naraku, I know that you are there."

"Sharp as ever I see."

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted to know when you shall go for Kagome."

"Around tomorrow at sundown, Kagome should be going out for a walk, I will get her then."

"I see, I will accompany you then."

"Fine."

Kagura's and Kanna's Room

"So tomorrow we are going after the miko eh Kanna?

"Yes Kagura."

"Well we better get some rest. I have no intention on fighting tomorrow but I have a feeling that we will never have to take orders again. Good night Kanna."

"Good night Kagura."

"Oh and perhaps we can sneak out Kohaku so that they will not hurt us when Naraku is defeated."

"Okay."
