Chapter 17- Decisions

An: Thanks to all who reviewed. Please get me 100! I need 5 more reviews!

I hope you enjoy this chapter! I had so many people tell me to turn Inuyasha human, to turn Kagome into a half demon, but…before all that…I've already had what he chooses in my head so…here ya go! P.S: THIS CHAPTER IS A INU/KAG LEMON!

"I have already made my decision."

The two women stayed silent and anxious as Inuyasha took a deep breath.

"I'm choosing to…well…I don't know if it will work."

"Well, what is it and maybe Kaede can tell you."

Inuyasha nodded and looked into Kagome's eyes.

"I want to stay a hanyou. I-I want to stay the way I am. I don't know if my decision would purify the jewel, but…"

"I will tell ye a secret that I figured out a long time ago…The jewel will only purify from a pure and true wish one that does not bring harm to others nor increase the wishers strength or power. The jewel will cease to exist if your wish is out of true love."

Kagome looked at the ground with sadness. Even if Inuyasha denied having any feelings for Kikyo, he still loved her and she was his first love. Kagome was nothing but a copy and the second best for him. Inuyasha must have sensed Kagome's apprehension and he moved closer to her and put a finger under her chin.

"Kagome…if you are saying to yourself that you can never live up to what Kikyo was then your as stupid as I originally thought you were. YOU HAVE lived up to what she was. You have surpassed her even and YOU ARE the one I truly and fully love with all my heart."

Kagome felt tears come to her eyes and she smiled and nodded. Inuyasha placed a full romantic kiss on her lips and then turned to Kaede.

"When can I do it?"

"It would be wise for ye to do it during sunrise. Doing it right now would be a bad omen because it is night."

Inuyasha nodded and turned back to Kagome. He hugged her close and Kaede exited the hut to the outside.

"Kagome…we have to think of a name for the baby."

"I think we should wait and see what it is first, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha nodded and kissed her again with gentle passion. She returned his kiss fully and they started to get into it a little more. Kagome broke the kiss a little and they were touching foreheads as Kagome asked:

"Are you sure no one is going to come in here?"

Inuyasha nodded and kissed her again as he laid her down on the mat near the fire. Inuyasha started to move his hands up Kagome's shirt and she wrapped her hands in his hair.

"Inuyasha…"

Inuyasha kissed Kagome's neck and trailed back up to her lips. They kissed as Inuyasha began to remove Kagome's clothes. Kagome pulled at the tie on his cloak and untied the tie.

Inuyasha managed to get Kagome's uniform top off and he stared at her half naked form with love in his eyes. He helped her remove his cloak and white shirt and Kagome stared at his rippling muscles and it sent shivers down her spine.

They kissed again as Inuyasha ran a clawed finger up one of Kagome's thighs. He felt her quiver underneath him and he smiled. He trailed to her inner thigh and Kagome moaned lightly.

"Kagome…I love you…"

"I love you too."

Inuyasha bent forward and kissed her deeply as the two of them took each other's bottoms off.

After they succeeded and were stark naked, Inuyasha plunged deep inside of her and began to move in slow steady strokes. Kagome closed her eyes and her breathing began to increase as he moved faster and faster.

They soon hit their climaxes together and they settled down in a heap of sweat and skin. Inuyasha flung his red cloak over the two of them and Kagome nestled herself in Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha kissed the top of her head and they fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning:

Sunlight shone brilliantly into the cracks of the bamboo shades and door as the birds chirped happily in the morning air.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly and winced when the bright sun hurt her eyes. She rubbed them slowly and looked next to her to see Inuyasha sleeping and with a light smile of his face. She had never seen him so content before.

She struggled to sit up, but Inuyasha had a strong hold around her middle. She smiled and rolled her eyes and tried to get out from his grasp.

As she moved, Inuyasha stirred and opened his eyes.

"Good morning."

He murmured into her ear. She smiled and turned over to face him. She kissed his gently and lightly caressed one of his ears.

"Good morning to you too. How did you sleep?"

"Mmmm…filled with dreams about you. How about you?"

"The same. So…I think we should get up so you can…"

"Stay with me."

"What?"

Inuyasha brought a hand up and cupped the side of her face.

"Please Kagome…stay with me."

Kagome knew what he was talking about and she frowned a little bit.

"What about my family, Inuyasha? I-I can't just not leave them."

"Well…you won't have to. You can keep going between the times…"

"But…how do we know that it will still work once the jewel is cast into oblivion?"

Inuyasha was silent and he nodded slightly.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take."

Kagome nodded slightly and looked at the door with apprehension.

"Well…let's go find out."

Inuyasha and Kagome met with others outside after about 15 minutes. They all looked perplexed and happy. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and they walked to the edge of the forest.

"I think we should do it in front of the Goshinboku."

Kagome nodded and they walked slowly to the tree that Kagome had first laid eyes on Inuyasha.

As they approached, memories flooded in both their minds…

"My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me!"

"Hey."

"What?"

"Take off your clothes."

"Kagome, your scent, you smell nice."

"But I thought you said you hated my scent!

"Well, it was a lie."

"Inuyasha, we said we always wanted to be together right?"

"Are you going to keep staring at me because it's ticking me off. If you got something to say, say it."

"That's pretty bad when you can even give a half demon the creeps."

"It's nice not to be alone."

"I love you. I love you as a half demon."

"Ready to do this?"

Kagome nodded and she gave Inuyasha the jewel. He took and as soon and is touched his hand he felt its power surge through him.

"Okay, here it goes."

Inuyasha clenched his hand around it and closed his eyes.

'I want to stay a half-demon…for Kagome.'

A pink glow start to wrap around Inuyasha and Kagome stepped back as the glow got brighter, but as soon as it came…it was gone.

Inuyasha opened his eyes and looked at Kagome. He opened his hand and the jewel was gone.

"It worked."

Kagome couldn't believe her eyes. It was finally over…the jewel was gone.

"We should go check the well…"

An: ONE MORE CHAPTER TO GO! Will the well be closed up and what does Inuyasha and Kagome name their baby…next chappy and the ending will be a shocker and it will start the sequel.
