Chapter 16

Will you?

            "Kagome, are you okay?" Shippo cried while landing on top of Kagome's lap. "She is fine." Inuyasha screamed and threw Shippo to the ground with one easy swoop.  Kagome started to fall asleep. "Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed while shaking her. "Kagome wake up." Kagome opened her eyes and started to fall over. "Kagome!" We need to get to Kaede's house. Inuyasha thought as he once again picked up Kagome. Shippo was right on Inuyasha's heals begging to find out how Kagome was. "Leave her alone. We need to get to Kaede's house and get the others. They went ahead to her hut." Inuyasha announced as he started to run to get Kagome to a safe place.

            When Inuyasha reached the hut he laid Kagome down on the floor and he started to shake her. "Kagome wake up!"  Kagome opened her eyes slowly and started to nod off again. "Kagome…stay awake." Inuyasha whispered as Kaede, Sango, and Miroku walked in. "Inuyasha, what happed to our young Kagome?" Kaede asked. "She fell into the well, but she did not transfer to her side. I think she hit her head." Shippo said while he helped Inuyasha try to keep Kagome awake.   Kaede walked over to Kagome and lifted a flower to her nose. All the sudden Kagome shot up and started sneezing. Her eyes became red and watery. "What did you give her?" Inuyasha said as he raised his fist. "I figured that Kagome would be allergic to Rudbeckia triloba, like my sister Kikyo." Kaede said as Inuyasha pulled Kagome toward him. "I guess I was right." Kaede laughed. "Here keep some with you it is sure to keep her awake when needed." Kaede said as she handed the plant to Inuyasha.

            "Thank you." Kagome said as she wiped her eyes from her tears. "Thank you Inuyasha and Shippo too." Kagome said as she wrapped her arms around Inuyasha. Inuyasha started to turn a burgundy with all the attention he was receiving. Sango and Miroku were staring at them and then Sango came running to Kagome, wrapped her arms around them, and then pulled back. "Kagome are you okay?" Miroku asked as he picked Sango off the floor. "I am fine now thanks to Kaede and Inuyasha." Kagome said with a smile. "Don't forget about me!" Shippo screamed. "Well of course Shippo had helped me a lot" Kagome said as she picked him up and gave him a big hug. Shippo started to smile from ear to ear. I wish Kagome would do that to me more often. Inuyasha thought when he saw the hug Kagome gave Shippo. 

            Kagome noticed Inuyasha starting to look upset. So, when she was done hugging Shippo she got up and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha. Her hand stretched up to Inuyasha's ear and she started to rub it. Inuyasha slowly rolled his head over to her ear to encourage her to do more.  "I was so worried about you." Inuyasha whispered into Kagome's ears. Kagome started to blush so she coved her face with Inuyasha's shoulder.

            "Kagome, excuse me for interrupting you and Inuyasha, but why are you still here?" Kaede asked. "I don't know, Kaede." Kagome answered. "I might be able to clear up this mess." Myoga announced "but I am going to need something to drink." "Not from me!" Inuyasha screamed. "No, I wanted to have some water."  "Fine."

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

(After Myoga's 3rd glass of water.)

            "Okay flea." Inuyasha said after he picked up Myoga's thimble. "On with the story." Inuyasha said as he sat behind Kagome. "Kagome, you can not leave our time, because the Shikon Jewel has been put back together, now you are stuck here in this time." "What!" Kagome screamed. "You are stuck here, forever. No power can help you." Myoga said in a steady tone. "I will never be able to go home." Kagome screamed. "Kagome it's okay." Inuyasha said as he ran his claws in Kagome's hair. I thought she would want to stay with me. I guess I was wrong. Inuyasha thought as he pulled Kagome closer to his shoulder.  He felt her hot tears through his bright red haori, which made him hold her tighter.  I hate it when she cries. I wish I could stop her. Inuyasha thought.

            Inuyasha rocked Kagome back and forth stroking her hair until she fell asleep. Inuyasha kept her in his arms till his eyes lids became heavy.  When Inuyasha woke up Kagome was gone so Inuyasha got up and walked outside. "Kagome." Inuyasha asked out loud.  "She is fine. She is by the well." Myoga announced.  "But, before you go… I brought the item you asked for before."

            As Kagome sat on the well staring up at the moon she thought about everything that happened before. Why was I so upset? I was not happy before, but now I am at the happiest I have ever been .Since I have been with Inuyasha.  All the sudden someone touched her shoulder. She almost fell over, but Inuyasha caught her. "Are you okay?" "Fine, thank you. You just scared me."  "I am sorry."  Inuyasha said as he wrapped his arms around Kagome.

            "Inuyasha, I am sorry. I never want to leave. I want to be with you forever." Kagome said as she nuzzled into the crook of Inuyasha's neck. "Kagome, I have to tell you something." Slowly Inuyasha got up and stared into Kagome's eyes. "Kagome, I haven't been able to think about anything else since I first met you. All I have wanted is you. I wanted to feel you. I wanted everything. I wanted you. We have been though so much and I can't stand being apart from you and…" Inuyasha takes a big breath. "Kagome…I love you. I have always loved you and will you marry me?" Inuyasha asked as he picked up her hand and placed a ring on her finger. "I will!" Kagome screamed as she got up and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha.

            Kagome slowly pulled back from Inuyasha and studied the ring. "Inuyasha, where did you get this ring?" "I had Totosai make it. It is made from the Shikon Jewel. The main stone in the middle is the jewel. This way we would be able to be together and you could see how much I love you because every color represents a thought I am having about you at this one minute." Kagome smiled and looked at the ring. "Is this what Myoga got for you?" Kagome asked as she stared at her ring. "Why aren't we the brightest flame in the fire?" Inuyasha smiled while saying that and He pulled her closer to him and lightly kissed her fore head. "I love you Kagome." "I love you too, Inuyasha" Then Kagome wiped a tear from her face because she was so happy.

            "Kagome, are you okay?" Inuyasha asked. "I am fine. I just have never heard you say that to me before." Kagome whispered as snuggled up closer into Inuyasha's body.

*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*

This chapter has some sweet moments in it, but how will Koga act to Kagome having a Fiancé? Was the ring the only thing Myoga gave Inuyasha? Will Inuyasha have to use the flower? Who knows? (Except for me!) J
