Sesshou-maru and Kagome chapter 5: A Battle between hearts
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha couldn't face her; he took off running through the woods away from Kagome.
Inuyasha broke into a run; he couldn't face her, for some odd reason. His heart felt strange, he was forgetting Kikyo. He couldn't let himself, but he still had feelings for Kagome; but on his mind was Kikyo, totally Kikyo.
Kagome watched him run away " NO Inuyasha! Come back!" She stood up. " Come back!" she was shocked. She fell to her knees " no....come back."
Inuyasha didn't listen it was one of those times. he felt confused. Very confused 'I cannot face her. My heart, it's torn between two women.' the two women were: Kikyo and Kagome. In his heart... he felt that Kikyo was the one whom he needed to be with. He was very unsure, very. That is why, he needed to stay away from the group, to think.
She watched him leave. ' Why Inuyasha! Why! Come back. Did I do something wrong?' she thought. Sitting there she started to cry softly. "Please, please come back" her heart ached so much.
Inuyasha's ears twitched, as he heard her cry he wanted to confront her. But he couldn't it would go against his love for Kikyo... He didn't know himself anymore.
"Come back" she still cried. 'Why did he leave me?' she sniffled. " I have to stop crying. I can't do this all the time" she stood up and wiped her eyes. " I have to find him. " she started to walk into the forest.
He couldn't go to her. It was against him, now. He ran as far as his hanyou feet allowed him; He didn't want to hear crying; He made up mind after a couple of days; it was Kikyo he wanted.
She moved thought the bushes. "Inuyasha!" she called his name hoping to Kami-sama that she found him. But to no avail. " Please come out" she kept looking for him.
"So, Inuyasha. You have parted from my recreation," the icy voice of Kikyo beckoned out from the shadows.
"Kikyo." Inuyasha stood up, and cocked his head to the side. "I do not know, Kikyo. The only wish I have is to be with you, but I cannot neglect Kagome,"
Kikyo's face could only afford a bitter smile. "I will always be waiting for you; Inuyasha," she walked out from the shrubbery, her soul stealers flying behind her.
Inuyasha lips smiled back. "Kikyo, I..." he was cut off, by the dead woman embracing him; His arms wrapped around her, and pulled her closer to him.
Kagome was still walking through the clearing. " Inu..." she stopped as she saw Inuyasha and Kikyo together. She gasped. Tears welled up in her eyes. 'How could you' she turned away and stared to run.
Inuyasha ears twitched he turned his head, and smelled water and salt. ' Kagome... she...' he went into panic. If he ran away now, from Kikyo, he couldn't be with her; He made his mind up. Kikyo placed her pale hand on his shoulder.
"Go and explain to her, I will wait," she placed a soft kiss onto his lips. Inuyasha smiled and nodded.
"I will be back, Kikyo." He took off after Kagome; "Kagome! Wait! Stop!"
Kagome wiped her eyes. ' How could he choose her!' she kept running. Lost in her own thoughts she tripped and fell over a branch.
Inuyasha caught her, right before she fell. "Kagome, please. Listen to me." he pulled her to look at him.
She pushed him away. " No! Go back to Kikyo! That's why you ran form me! To see her." tears fell freely now.
Inuyasha grabbed his wrist again. "LISTEN!" he yelled, fiercely.
She looked at his hand. Feeling nothing but betrayed she looked up at him " What!" she yelled back " If you going to tell me something about Kikyo save your breath!"
"No, Kagome." he looked softly down to her. "It is true, I have chosen Kikyo. But I do still care about you, I want you to know. That I still do care for you. That is all, I can tell you."
She cried " But.....Why Inuyasha? Why?" she fell to her knees. Her head hung low as she cried.
He dropped to his knees as well and hugged her. His heart longed to have her, but he could not. Not with Kikyo having him eating out of her hands.
She clung to him still crying. " You can't still care for me! I knew you'd go to her! But why Inuyasha? She hates you..." she couldn't manage to say the rest. She continued to cry in his arms.
Inuyasha heart wept, he couldn't bare it. He decided again; He would choose her, he would steer clear of Kikyo. "Kagome, I-I.... I don't want Kikyo" he said, just below a whisper.
" Don't try to make me feel better." she looked up. Her eyes red and puffy. " Please, Be with her if that's what your heart wants."
"I am.," he said calmly. "I want you, not Kikyo. I finally see it clearly, now," he wiped the remaining tears from her cheeks.
She sniffled " But, you said you cared for me and chose Kikyo. Who is it?"
"It is you, I can't avoid it anymore.... it was simply pity; For Kikyo." he stated. She didn't answer. ' Can i really trust him?' she questioned her self. She looked away " thank you for ...confronting me Inuyasha. " She stood up.
"Hey," he stated cockily. "I just said I choose you, and you have no answer for me what so ever?" he crossed his arms.
" Yeah i have no answer because..." she looked at him and then down " because...I don't believe you" she said really quietly
"Believe me," he quirked his eyebrow. "Why do you doubt?"
" You've done this to me before! " she snapped at him. She looked up " You play with my heart and tear it up. I don't think it can mend so easily this time"
"Tear your heart," he said, as his golden amber eyes hid under his bangs; his speech was sad, and melancholy. "I probably did, didn't? What can I do. to make you believe me?" he asked, in an irregular tone.
" I'm not sure. Nothing right about now. ," she looked down. " You wont be able to stick to this if Kikyo comes around"
"Kikyo," he said, as if the name were foreign. "I can stick to this as much as I want to, dammit. Bitch, you gotta realize that I won't change anything," he had his arms on her shoulders; and lifted her head up to look him in the eye. "I can damn do do what I please, wench." he kissed, a kiss of proof, but of what he wanted;
She was shocked. She pulled away form him quickly, " Inu-Inuyasha...why did you do that?"
"I did it, to prove to you. Do you still do not believe?" he crossed his arms, and smirked.
She looked at him putting her hand to her lips " I-i-i...." she trailed off to out there to speak
Kikyo was becoming impatient, with "her" hanyou; 'Inuyasha is taking far too long with chasing my recreation. I will go, and take him back.' Kikyo's soul stealers wrapped around her, and she flew over the land searched for Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked down at her. "I see, that you must be rejoicing." Inuyasha smiled only a little, and sniffed the air; Kagome could tell Kikyo was back " I'm going now." she went to make a move to leave. 'i really don't need to hear her now'
" No, I want you to be here for this," he grabbed her wrist.
She looked at him " I can't even look at her with out feeling betrayed." She watched Kikyo look that them as she landed.
"Then stand behind me, I will protect you," he said and stood in front of her.
Kikyo looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha," she said bitterly; "You are to come with me, you promise."
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes; but shook his head. "Some promises, are meant to be broken."
Kagome closed her eyes. She didn't want to see the look on Kikyo's face when she heard him say that. She was afraid that Kikyo might come back to get her, try to kill her again. Kagome never wanted to fight with Kikyo in the 1st place. It was because of both of their love for Inuyasha that this was caused. 'Why did I fall in love with him!'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* To Sesshou-maru's castle *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*
Rin was skipping in the hall way yet again. She had picked some flowers for Sesshou-maru and was off to give them to him.
" Lord Sesshou-maru-sama!" she called as she entered the room.
He looked up from his books. " Hai Rin? What is it?"
She held out the flowers and smiled
He took them from her put them on the table and thanked her.
She left him in search of Jaken.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kikyo narrowed her eyes. "I will not let her have you, Inuyasha. You will both die," Kikyo pointed her bow at Inuyasha, stringing her bow with the string, pulling back; "No, we won't. Neither of us will." Kikyo fired her arrow, Inuyasha picked Kagome up, and jumped out of the way; when they landed, he shielded her from the flying rubble.
She hung onto him " Inuyasha, You should go back to her. She clearly owns you."
" Owns, hah. She doesn't own me, I won't return to her." he wrapped his arms her waist, doing a backflip in the air; He jumped into the air, and placed Kagome on a tree limb, and placed her down. "Stay here, I'll deal with her."
" Be careful!" she called. She was worried. Kikyo was the one who pinned him to the tree fifty years ago. She was afraid Kikyo was at it again.
"I will.." He dogged a lot of Kikyo's arrows after a while, he became annoyed. "Iron Rever soul stealer!" he slashed Kikyo's bow and arrows to bits;
"Inuyasha," Kikyo was shocked and Inuyasha growled, pinning her to a tree.
"You...threatened to kill Kagome, for this; I cannot forgive you, Kikyo."
Kagome watched him. " Inuyasha! Stop! You cant!" No matter how much she hated her she couldn't let Inuyasha kill her.
Inuyasha wasn't going to kill Kikyo; "I am not, wench!" he called to Kagome, and turned back to Kikyo. Kikyo moaned annoyed and tried to get out of his grasp; only to have claws dig into her skin. "Inuyasha...how could you betray me!" she narrowed her eyes. "I didn't, I followed my heart. There was really no love between us, Kikyo; we were just good friends, friends that trusted each other; I won't kill you, I offer you to promise me something."
Kagome watched him. 'Inuyasha! What are you doing?!' she was up in the tree. What could she do?
"What now, hanyou?" her voice was cold and icy. She barely trusted him; "That you..." he began.. "Leave the both of us alone forever, and I will spare you." her eyes flexed, but managed to keep her iced expression
Kagome was about to jump from the tree. ' I can't let him do this. She'll never let me live with him alone!' she looked down. ' If i land i could get hurt' she looked up at them.
"I. fine Inuyasha. I will never come into your life ... but I warn you, protect her from Naraku. The way you couldn't protect me. From Onigumo."
Inuyasha ears drooped. "I know, I'm sorry I couldn't; just stay away from Naraku."
Kikyo nodded and disappeared; with the help of her soul stealers. "But I guarantee Inuyasha. I may show up again, to claim your life," Kikyo disappears.
Kagome was surprise ' she left!' Kagome started to work her way down the tree. ' Don't look down, don't look down' she repeated to herself. She closed her eyes and when she stared down again she slipped.
Inuyasha ran up and she fell on him; so he cushioned her fall. He set her against the tree. "Are you alright?"
She still had her eyes closed. She opened one cautiously " I'm alright." she looked around " hey I'm on the ground "she looked at him " What happened to Kikyo?"
"Kikyo left. She said she would leave the both of us alone," he embraced her tightly. "I thought ... you would ... die.. . I was ... terrified." he admitted in a low whisper.
She hugged him back " why? I'm okay Inuyasha. " She rested her head on his shoulder.
"She could have tried and killed you, anata." he kissed her on her neck, but only for a second.
She looked at him. " If she tried. I wouldn't have any regrets if I died. I like being with you" She cupped his face.
"I'm not worth your life." his head went even closer hers, and gave her a soft, sweet kiss.
She kissed him back lightly. Still slightly afraid to kiss him. " It is though Inuyasha. Your happiness is worth it all. " She smiled at him.
"Perhaps, but your everything is worth everything to me;" he smiled at her, and caressed her face.
she put ehr hand on his. " Inuyasha..." she couldn't say it. ' Inuyasha I love you!' she could say it in her mind but she couldn't bring her lips to form those three words
"Hm?" he asked, his hanyou eyes looking at her form; "Is there something wrong, anata?" he questioned, and ran his hand through a strand of her hair.
She looked up at him. ' Say it Kagome! Do it! You can do it! Just tell him!' "I-i-i..." she trailed off once again. " No nothing's wrong."
"If you say so." he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
" I want to tell you something, it's just hard to say" she looked at him.
"Take your time, Ai. I won't rush you," he smiled assuringly
She smiled " Thanks Inuyasha." she hugged him. ' Say it!' her mind screamed at her 'it the perfect time! Do it!' she looked up and into his eyes " Inuyasha.... I-i...Love you" she closed her eyes. Expecting him not to love her back.
He pressed his lips to hers, placing a hand on her cheek; Kissing her passionately He parted away from her and smiled; "As I love you too."
she looked at him smiling. she kissed him back. " Y-you do? B-but what about K-Kikyo?" " I do. I told her to leave both us alone; Did I not?"
" You have feelings for her still?" she was uncertain of his feeligns. he chose kikyo then her who was it!
"No longer." his hand carressed her face once agian. "Why would I say i love you, then?"
"because I said it to you and You dont want to hurt me"
"Kagome..I was.. afraid to love you..." his hands traced ver her lips. "And if i didn't love you, why would I do these loving actions?"
She trembled " I'm not s-sure" she looked at him hand. " Why were you afraid?"
"Demons could get the better of me.. But i know.. Now.. I'm strong enough to protect you; and I will continue doing so, anata." he kissed her lightly on the lips, again.
She kissed him back. Her courage grew to when she could kiss him back without double thinking.
He embraced her tightly close to him, and his other hand pressed against her head, bringing her head closer to his. 'I do love her, over Kikyo. I don't even think I loved her, ever..' he thought;
She closed her eyes and embraces him back. Her eyes snapped open in realizement. She backed away " Inuyasha, I have one little problem"
"Umm." he looked at her confused. "What is it?" he pushed some hair out of her face; 'Did I.... do something wrong?' he asked himself.
" Sesshou-maru. He's coming back to get me. " She looked around. Is her here no. Looking at him with a smile " it's okay...."
"I won't let that bastard have you," his hand traced over hers cheek; "You are mind, if he wants you he'll have to come through me."
She looked at him...."I was only suppose to visit you for a few days, not this long. He's going to kill me" she hugged him. " I might have to go...But I should be back"
"He cannot kill you," his arms wrapped around her. "Unless I am protecting you. You are not leaving with him, I will make sure of it," he ran his hand through her long raven locks. "Why does he want you, Kagome.." he pulled her slightly away from him. "Unless something happened between you two. " he looked away.
She pulled his face to look at her " Like what Mr. Dog Boy?" she looked him in the eye. " This.... The whole thing of you seeing me again is a set up by Sesshoumaru in order to get Tetsusaiga." she looked down. " I'm sorry, I shouldn't have even left if you would think that. I'm sure Rin-chan's going to be happy to see me again ne?"
"I see..." his ears lowered down onto his head. "I will not give him the Tetsusaiga. IF he wants it, he can come and get it himself," he looked up to the sky. "You hear that Sesshoumaru, you asshole! COME AND GET THE TETSUSAIGA!" his anger rising at full blast. "But," he looked back to her. "I will not give you up. Kagome, come with me." He grasped her hand and led her into the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Back to Sesshou-maru and Rin ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshou-maru was still sitting in his study. ' What is this feeling?' When ever he would think about Kagome, this warm fuzzy feeling inside. 'What is it!?' he looked out the window. Kagome, the one he dreamed has often was now more than that. She is just a human. He would tell himself over and over. But, he couldn't believe it. They way she walked, talked, smiled, laughed. It was all part of the plan at 1st,but then why did these feelings stick?
He looked down. " I can't keep dreaming of her?" he sighed. I should really go and retrieve her. 'Hm.. I wonder what the half-breed thinks of all this' he mused to min self about Inuyasha cursing at him because he too away me love.
He started on his way to find Kagome. He procrastinated and stopped a lot because of his feelings for her but he'll eventually get there!
(An: Hey it's me! I wonder if I told you all about Disclaimers? Well if I did.ya know if I didn't this is what I want to say:
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha...Of course I don't! But he is my Love slave! * Smiles evilly* oh sorry did I say that to loud? ^^ No one can have him! He's too much fun!
Well see ya all later!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What are you doing Inuyasha?" she followed him into the forest. 1st thing he was yelling to the sky now he's heading her somewhere, But.where?
As soon as they gotten a good distance in the forest he stopped. "Kagome.I...I love you and there's something I want to do, it will show, that you are Mine," he smiled just a little and ran his thumb along her cheek.
She looked at him. "What is it Inuyasha?" she was clueless. 'He couldn't be thinking what I think he's thinking could he?'
"You'll see, anata," he smiled, and ran his finger under chin. A very loving expression within his eyes. His warm stare was very evident; "Aishiteru, always." the hanyou leaned foreword and captured her lips into a kiss, a long sensuous kiss.
She kissed him back. She pulled away after a few minutes " Inuyasha.... You're not thinking that are you?" she looked at him. She thought she knew what he ment 'have sex with him! I couldn't! I'm way too young for this!'
"I. I know you are young Kagome," his eyes softened and as did his voice. "But, I love you. And I cannot allow any other male to have you. That way, I can make sure Sesshoumaru know, and other males know that you are mine... but," he paused; "Kagome. will you... become my mate?" he would not make her as his, without her permission. Most hanyou's and youkai's would take their mates, weather their mate wanted to or not, but some, not many, asked.
She looked at him. "..." She couldn't speak. ' Kagome...what are you going to do now?' her hands were shaking slightly. She was scared for real." Inuyasha...I..." she didn't know what to do. If she said yes.what would he do?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* That's it for Chapter 5! Yay! Another chapter done with! Thank Ayame!

"I. fine Inuyasha. I will never come into your life ... but I warn you, protect her from Naraku. The way you couldn't protect me. From Onigumo."
Inuyasha ears drooped. "I know, I'm sorry I couldn't; just stay away from Naraku."
Kikyo nodded and disappeared; with the help of her soul stealers. "But I guarantee Inuyasha. I may show up again, to claim your life," Kikyo disappears.
Kagome was surprise ' she left!' Kagome started to work her way down the tree. ' Don't look down, don't look down' she repeated to herself. She closed her eyes and when she stared down again she slipped.
Inuyasha ran up and she fell on him; so he cushioned her fall. He set her against the tree. "Are you alright?"
She still had her eyes closed. She opened one cautiously " I'm alright." she looked around " hey I'm on the ground "she looked at him " What happened to Kikyo?"
"Kikyo left. She said she would leave the both of us alone," he embraced her tightly. "I thought ... you would ... die.. . I was ... terrified." he admitted in a low whisper.
She hugged him back " why? I'm okay Inuyasha. " She rested her head on his shoulder.
"She could have tried and killed you, anata." he kissed her on her neck, but only for a second.
She looked at him. " If she tried. I wouldn't have any regrets if I died. I like being with you" She cupped his face.
"I'm not worth your life." his head went even closer hers, and gave her a soft, sweet kiss.
She kissed him back lightly. Still slightly afraid to kiss him. " It is though Inuyasha. Your happiness is worth it all. " She smiled at him.
"Perhaps, but your everything is worth everything to me;" he smiled at her, and caressed her face.
she put ehr hand on his. " Inuyasha..." she couldn't say it. ' Inuyasha I love you!' she could say it in her mind but she couldn't bring her lips to form those three words
"Hm?" he asked, his hanyou eyes looking at her form; "Is there something wrong, anata?" he questioned, and ran his hand through a strand of her hair.
She looked up at him. ' Say it Kagome! Do it! You can do it! Just tell him!' "I-i-i..." she trailed off once again. " No nothing's wrong."
"If you say so." he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
" I want to tell you something, it's just hard to say" she looked at him.
"Take your time, Ai. I won't rush you," he smiled assuringly
She smiled " Thanks Inuyasha." she hugged him. ' Say it!' her mind screamed at her 'it the perfect time! Do it!' she looked up and into his eyes " Inuyasha.... I-i...Love you" she closed her eyes. Expecting him not to love her back.
He pressed his lips to hers, placing a hand on her cheek; Kissing her passionately He parted away from her and smiled; "As I love you too."
she looked at him smiling. she kissed him back. " Y-you do? B-but what about K-Kikyo?" " I do. I told her to leave both us alone; Did I not?"
" You have feelings for her still?" she was uncertain of his feeligns. he chose kikyo then her who was it!
"No longer." his hand carressed her face once agian. "Why would I say i love you, then?"
"because I said it to you and You dont want to hurt me"
"Kagome..I was.. afraid to love you..." his hands traced ver her lips. "And if i didn't love you, why would I do these loving actions?"
She trembled " I'm not s-sure" she looked at him hand. " Why were you afraid?"
"Demons could get the better of me.. But i know.. Now.. I'm strong enough to protect you; and I will continue doing so, anata." he kissed her lightly on the lips, again.
She kissed him back. Her courage grew to when she could kiss him back without double thinking.
He embraced her tightly close to him, and his other hand pressed against her head, bringing her head closer to his. 'I do love her, over Kikyo. I don't even think I loved her, ever..' he thought;
She closed her eyes and embraces him back. Her eyes snapped open in realizement. She backed away " Inuyasha, I have one little problem"
"Umm." he looked at her confused. "What is it?" he pushed some hair out of her face; 'Did I.... do something wrong?' he asked himself.
" Sesshou-maru. He's coming back to get me. " She looked around. Is her here no. Looking at him with a smile " it's okay...."
"I won't let that bastard have you," his hand traced over hers cheek; "You are mind, if he wants you he'll have to come through me."
She looked at him...."I was only suppose to visit you for a few days, not this long. He's going to kill me" she hugged him. " I might have to go...But I should be back"
"He cannot kill you," his arms wrapped around her. "Unless I am protecting you. You are not leaving with him, I will make sure of it," he ran his hand through her long raven locks. "Why does he want you, Kagome.." he pulled her slightly away from him. "Unless something happened between you two. " he looked away.
She pulled his face to look at her " Like what Mr. Dog Boy?" she looked him in the eye. " This.... The whole thing of you seeing me again is a set up by Sesshoumaru in order to get Tetsusaiga." she looked down. " I'm sorry, I shouldn't have even left if you would think that. I'm sure Rin-chan's going to be happy to see me again ne?"
"I see..." his ears lowered down onto his head. "I will not give him the Tetsusaiga. IF he wants it, he can come and get it himself," he looked up to the sky. "You hear that Sesshoumaru, you asshole! COME AND GET THE TETSUSAIGA!" his anger rising at full blast. "But," he looked back to her. "I will not give you up. Kagome, come with me." He grasped her hand and led her into the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Back to Sesshou-maru and Rin ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshou-maru was still sitting in his study. ' What is this feeling?' When ever he would think about Kagome, this warm fuzzy feeling inside. 'What is it!?' he looked out the window. Kagome, the one he dreamed has often was now more than that. She is just a human. He would tell himself over and over. But, he couldn't believe it. They way she walked, talked, smiled, laughed. It was all part of the plan at 1st,but then why did these feelings stick?
He looked down. " I can't keep dreaming of her?" he sighed. I should really go and retrieve her. 'Hm.. I wonder what the half-breed thinks of all this' he mused to min self about Inuyasha cursing at him because he too away me love.
He started on his way to find Kagome. He procrastinated and stopped a lot because of his feelings for her but he'll eventually get there!
(An: Hey it's me! I wonder if I told you all about Disclaimers? Well if I did.ya know if I didn't this is what I want to say:
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha...Of course I don't! But he is my Love slave! * Smiles evilly* oh sorry did I say that to loud? ^^ No one can have him! He's too much fun!
Well see ya all later!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What are you doing Inuyasha?" she followed him into the forest. 1st thing he was yelling to the sky now he's heading her somewhere, But.where?
As soon as they gotten a good distance in the forest he stopped. "Kagome.I...I love you and there's something I want to do, it will show, that you are Mine," he smiled just a little and ran his thumb along her cheek.
She looked at him. "What is it Inuyasha?" she was clueless. 'He couldn't be thinking what I think he's thinking could he?'
"You'll see, anata," he smiled, and ran his finger under chin. A very loving expression within his eyes. His warm stare was very evident; "Aishiteru, always." the hanyou leaned foreword and captured her lips into a kiss, a long sensuous kiss.
She kissed him back. She pulled away after a few minutes " Inuyasha.... You're not thinking that are you?" she looked at him. She thought she knew what he ment 'have sex with him! I couldn't! I'm way too young for this!'
"I. I know you are young Kagome," his eyes softened and as did his voice. "But, I love you. And I cannot allow any other male to have you. That way, I can make sure Sesshoumaru know, and other males know that you are mine... but," he paused; "Kagome. will you... become my mate?" he would not make her as his, without her permission. Most hanyou's and youkai's would take their mates, weather their mate wanted to or not, but some, not many, asked.
She looked at him. "..." She couldn't speak. ' Kagome...what are you going to do now?' her hands were shaking slightly. She was scared for real." Inuyasha...I..." she didn't know what to do. If she said yes.what would he do?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* That's it for Chapter 5! Yay! Another chapter done with! Thank Ayame!
