Chapter~9~ bewares of meddling mothers!

When Kagome and Youko reached the kitchen the smell of egg's and sausages hit their nose. Kagomes mom greeted them with a warm smile and a hardy plate of food. "Hi mom!" "Good morning Kagome how are you this morning?" "Good!" "Hey Youko-kun how you feeling this morning your not hurting to much are you?" Asked a very concerned Kagome. "My arm is a little sore and my ribs are a bit bruised but besides that I'm ok." "Oh Youko-kun I was so scared I thought you were going to die on me!" Kagome ran up and gave him a powerful hug. "Kagome..cant...breathe." "Sorry Youko-kun!" Kagome released him form her deathly grip. Kagomes mother twitched her eyebrows and nudged Kagome and Youko. "So that's what you two been to huh?" Kagome blushed bright red and screamed at her mother and Youko didn't know what Kagomes mother was implying. (Ok so he's a little dense to) so he just sat there blinking at the two. Than Kagome's mom being the sly woman she is came up with a brilliant idea to get them to together. "Hey why don't you two take a break from shard hunting and go out and have fun together!" "Do you think that's a good idea mom?" Sure If Inuyasha stops by I'll keep him busy while you two have your fun." "But what will he wear?" "What's wrong with what I got on now?" "Nobody dresses like that today." "I can see at!" Youko was looking at Kagomes exposed legs. "PERVERT!" Kagome picked up a very large and heavy phone book and whacked Youko on the head with it until he was almost unconscious. Kagomes mom just stood there and laughed at the to of them thinking of what a wonderful couple they would make. "haha I guess ha he could haha use your dad's old clothes dear." "Arigato mama!" "You to remind me of when me and your father were dating!" "what's dating?" Kagome blushes and her mother explained. "dating is sort of like um how do I explain this." "Courting is like courting!" Youko smirked when he heard Kagome's mom say this. "So Kagome does this mean that we are courting?" Youko raised a brow and looked at Kagome. "Well I better get your clothes now bye!" With that said Kagome ran up the stairs as fast as she could. Kagomes mom looked at Youko and sang in a sing song voice. "I think she likes you!" Youko turned and smirked at Kagomes mother." "So young man I hope you have good intensions for my daughter." Mama (I'm sick of calling her Kags mom) said suspiciously. "To me she is already mine and if she accepts my offer we will become life mates." "Life mates?" Asked a confused mama. "Hai what you humans would call marriage." "Oh how wonderful!" "I just hope I get to ask her before the Inu baka steals her away from me. Youko slumped his head and his bangs covered his eyes." "I think Kagome cares for you a lot more than she lets on probably because she doesn't know how to react to your affections." "You think so?" "So when are you going to ask her?" "When I have permission for her family and mine." "Well young an you certainly have my permission." Kagomes mother slid an old a beautiful old ring of her finger. "This has been passed down for generations it belonged to my mother who got it from her mother to be wedded with." "What do I do with it?" "Give it to her when you ask her to be your mate." Kagomes mom opened a drawer and rummaged through it and took out a small black box and placed the ring inside. "Here you go!" She handed the small box over to Youko who quickly pocketed it when he seen Kagome coming down the stairs with a bundle in her arms. "What you guys talking about?" "Nothing dear." (A Youko changed back into his clothes once they were clean) Kagome stuffed the bundle into his arms. "I'm sure you remember what to do?" "I'm not sure." Youko said with an evil smirk. "Kagome caught on quickly and started to beat him once again with the forgotten phonebook.
