Yay three posts this time. Thank you: Pinayazngrl, Thorngoddess, and sunruner for your reviews. I'd like more reviews though. I am sooooooooo sorry that this was posted sooo late... Midterms. Having both Spanish 1 and 2 is hard enough. Sigh. I hope you guys like this one. Lots of Chocolate. Review please... tell me if it was worth the wait.

Disclaimer: I wish with all my heart that I own Inu Yasha but every day I awake up to find that I do not. Oh well, I'm at least satisfied with having the chance to watch and read Inu Yasha.

The next morning Inu Yasha wakes up. He looks at Kagome as she slept. He inhaled her scent and smiled. His smile fades when he notices that Shippo's scent was not strongly mixed with Kagome's. He looks at where Shippo was suppose to be and didn't see him at all. He shakes Kagome to wake her up.

She opens up her eyes and looks up at Inu Yasha. "What is it Inu Yasha?"

"Shippo's missing" Inu Yasha says in a worried voice.

"Missing?" She looks into her arms, now noticing that there was no one in them. "Oh my god, Where is He."

They a startled when they hear a giggling sound followed by some munching. They look at each other and then to Kagome's back pack. They saw it move. Kagome got off of Inu Yasha's lap and they both walked over to the backpack. Kagome opens it up and they both looked inside.

Shippo was looking up at them with a giant Chocolate covered smile. Kagome giggles at the sight and a smile is formed on the relieved Inu Yasha.

Kagome picks up Shippo. "I told you, no chocolate till your feeling better. Plus you scared us."

"But I am feeling better. I woke up early and saw you two sleeping comfortably and I didn't want to wake you so I went ahead and got some Chocolate." Shippo says. He snicker thinking off what he heard when they woke up.

"You little brat, you scared us. We though you would be getting worse somewhere." Inu Yasha scolded.

"You worried about me, Inu Yasha?" Shippo asked

"Of course I did. I was the one that jumped in the frozen river after you." Inu Yasha replied with a slight smile.

"Shippo, we'll always take care of you. We're like a family." Kagome says as she sits down with the little kitsun. She whispers in his ear so that Inu Yasha wouldn't hear. "You almost made him cry" Shippo looks up at Kagome in amazement. She whispers again "You almost died on us, Shippo."

Shippo looks up at her in surprise. "I did" Kagome nods as a single tear falls down her cheek. Shippo wipes the tear away and Kagome smiled.

"Enough with this gushy stuff" Inu Yasha says. "We can leave this little cabin finally. The blizzard has stopped sometime during the night."

Kagome doesn't think it's really that safe yet. "Inu Yasha, Open the door for a moment please." Inu Yasha raise a brow and walks to the door. He opens it to find that the snow was up to his chest. Kagome sighs "I knew it. We are going to have to stay one more night."

Inu Yasha grunts in disappointment and closes the door. He picks up the snow that had fallen in and puts it in the pail. He goes to the closet and sighs at the amount of wood left. "We won't have enough, Kagome."

"Cut them into smaller pieces. We can also use the door of the closet for warmth." Kagome says as she cleans up Shippo's face. Inu Yasha nods and does as she asked. He throws a small log into the fire and then wraps his arms around Kagome. Kagome smiles and faces him. They begin to kiss when they were interrupted again.

"Eww, Get a room you two." Shippo yells as he gets himself out of Kagome's arms. Inu Yasha rolls his eyes and Kagome shakes her head with a smile. Inu Yasha hugs her tighter. Kagome cuddles closer to Inu Yasha as they watched Shippo.

Shippo began to play around with his tricks to entertain himself. He looks at the cozy couple and saw that both had their eyes closes. Kagome was enjoying Inu Yasha's purr and Inu Yasha was enjoying Kagome rubbing his ear.

With a grin, Shippo snuck up behind them and puffed himself into a nice scary monster. He creeps up to the and suddenly screamed.

Both Inu Yasha and Kagome jumped and screamed. Shippo puffs himself to his original self and rolled on his back laughing. Inu Yasha got up and began to chase the still laughing fox demon.

Kagome watches them run in circles. She sighs and opens a bag of ramen. Inu Yasha stops and quickly goes to Kagome to help make his favorite meal. Shippo sits down panting.

While waiting for the water to boil Kagome rolls Shippo a Wonder Ball. Shippo looks at the new chocolate curiously and unwraps the foil. He takes a bit and finds more treats inside. He goes over to Kagome to explain who the funny characters were. She even shows him the magic of a fake tattoo. Shippo smiles and enjoys his treat.

Kagome then turns her attention to the Ramen. Once it was done she serves Inu Yasha first, who quickly grabs it and starts scarfing it down. Kagome giggles and serves Shippo and herself. Shippo takes his more nicely and waits for his to cool down a bit more.

Once he was done, Shippo begins to play with his foxfire and transforms objects and himself to entertain Inu Yasha and Kagome. Inu Yasha finishes the last bits of Ramen as Kagome laughs at Shippo's tricks.

Inu Yasha gets up and gets a small log to put in the fire. He then hugs Kagome from behind making her smile. Shippo goes into Kagome's backpack to eat more chocolate.

Soon it was time to sleep, Inu Yasha and Kagome had a hard time with Shippo cause he was practically bouncing off of the walls. They soon got him under control and got in their sleeping position which became traditional.

Once Shippo feel asleep, Kagome and Inu Yasha sighed. Kagome snuggled closely to Inu Yasha.

"Kagome, can I ask you something?" Inu Yasha asks shyly.

Kagome raises a brow "Yea, what is it?"

"Well, since we are some much like a family now and since we love each other so much. Do you want to be my....umm... mate?" Inu Yasha says with a huge blush covering his face.

Kagome smiles and looks up at him. "I'd be glad to be your mate. I don't know how long I've waited for you to ask. But before we do mate, I think we should get married."

Inu Yasha hugged her tightly. He was sooo glad and relieved that she said yes. Then a question popped up "Married? What's that?" Inu Yasha says confused.

Kagome giggles "Is a ceremony were two people a united in front of friends and family. Then we have a little party and stuff. What do you think, Inu Yasha?"

"It sounds great. I'll do what ever you want my love" Inu Yasha then gives her a kiss.

Kagome smiles. She snuggles closer and they both soon fall asleep.

Shippo snickers. He wasn't really sleeping and heard the whole thing. *They are gonna be mates and get married. This is soo great. We are now a true family and I have a mommy and daddy.*
