Chapter 6

Inuyasha woke up just before sunrise. He smiled at the sleeping girl lying in his arms.

He sighed. He hadn't meant for them to fall asleep while watching a movie. He had suggested a movie to give her time to process everything he had told her.

He glanced out the window. There was a reason he brought her to the apartment for the evening. If he was going to do it the way he wanted to, then he would have to wake her. He sat there for a few more moments idly running his fingers through her hair.

He took a deep breath. "Kagome," he said as he gently shook her. "Kagome, wake up."

The girl did the exact opposite of what he wanted her to do. Instead she snuggled closer to him.

"Nuh uh," she mumbled. "My Inuyasha."

He smiled. Gods, I hope so.

"Kagome, wake up."

She opened her eyes. "Still dark outside."

He sighed. "Kagome, I… I didn't tell you everything last night."

She sat up. "What else is there to tell me?"

Now that she was no longer against him, Inuyasha stretched. He got up off the couch and started pacing.

"Do you remember last night when I told you I waited because I didn't want to interfere with your schooling?" She nodded. "Well, that… uh … wasn't completely true."

She raised her eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

He wet his lips. "Your schooling was one reason, but I wanted to wait until you were of age."

She gave him a confused look. He bit his lip in concentration. She thought he looked cute like that.

"In the warring states era, fifteen would mean that one was an adult. However with changing times come changing notions of what is considered an adult. I needed to wait until you were an adult by society's standards."

"What does my age have to do with anything?" Kagome asked confused.

Inuyasha closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was very nervous about what he was about to do. He went down on one knee and produced a ring box. He flipped it open.

"Higurashi Kagome, will you marry me?"

Kagome was in shocked. Her hand went to her mouth as her eyes widened. After a moment she slid off the couch on to the floor with him. There were tears in her eyes as she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He deepened the kiss.

The sun rose over the couple, as they shared their longest kiss. It ended and they slowly pulled away from each other.

Kagome opened her eyes and gazed lovingly into golden ones. She smiled as her eyes traveled up to a cute pair of dog-ears nestled among silver hair.

Her smile turned mischievous as she reached up and tweaked them. He growled playfully at her. She laughed and continued to stroke them for a moment longer. When she stopped, he whined at the absence of her touch. She just continued to smile at him.

He coughed. "So is that a yes?" he asked hesitantly.

"Of course it is!"

He slid the ring on her finger. It was a princess cut diamond with ruby chips flanking it on both sides.

He stood up and brought her with him. He picked her up and spun around the livingroom, both of them laughing.

As he put her down, his hand slowly slid down her back.

"So tell me, now that we're engaged, does that mean I can now grab your rear?"

"Depends…" she smiled evilly.

He cocked his eyebrow. "On what?"

His eyes widened as he felt her give him a good squeeze.

"On if I can grab yours," she replied.

He gave her a wide grin and slid his hand down. "Deal."

She giggled as she felt his hand give her a firm squeeze. She decided to see if Inuyasha was ticklish. Turned out he was.

Kagome caught her breath after Inuyasha won the tickle fight. She was thoughtful for a moment.

"My friends are going to freak!"

He gave her a confused look. "How so?"

She laughed. "I'm engaged to the younger Oboro brother."

He smiled and pulled her close to him. "Is there something wrong with that?

"Not at all," she replied.

"Good."

As the sunlight poured into the room, Inuyasha slowly leaned down and kissed his bride to be.
