Saving My Mate

By:Aini-x-fallen13thanjel

Ch.4: A Home to Call My Own

"Um... Kagome?" Shippo asked while she was hugging him.

"Yes?"

"Are you my new mommy?" freeze frame.

Kagome froze on the spot unsure of what she should say and she was sure that Inuyasha had himself a mate if Shippo was his son... right? She looked down at Shippo his eyes pleading for an answer and she couldn't help but melt at those puppy... fox eyes. They were greener than the freshest grass she'd ever seen and his hair was tan like the wet sand at the beach near the shore. She smiled at him and pulled him into a hug and rose from the floor and walked back to the coach where Inuyasha sat also awiating her answer.

She sat down next to Inuyasha and set Shippo in her lap and leaned into the coach to think about it for a little while. Kagome sighed and reached for her tea and grabbed four cookies for all of them. She gave one to Inuyasha, two to Shippo, and took a bite of the other one then taking a sip of her tea. She sighed again and looked from Inuyasha to Shippo the back again; she smiled at them and took another sip of her tea. She then set her cup back on the table along with her cookie.(aini: god she's dragging this out... fluffy: you'r the one writing it!aini: oh yea! fluffy: 'sigh')

"Shouldn't that be up to your father, Shippo?" Kagome asked as she turned the boy in her lap so that she could look in his eyes. He looked at her then to his father and tilted his as if his asked the question without words as he munched of both cookies. (aini:aw cute... fluffy: twit aini: ass... 'walks away' fluffy: 'growls')

"I don't have a problem with it. But if you say yes you might just be agreeing to something else," Inuyasha said as he popped his cookie into his mouth before looking away so neither couldn't notice his blush. She gave him a questioning look but gave up since he wasn't looking at her as shugged and looked down at Shippo who was smiling wide like he knew what Inuyasha was talking about. (aini: wounder what it could be?fluffy: u'r the writer u tell me!aini: 'contiues to think'fluffy: don't hurt ur selfaini: aww fluffy finally warm up to me? fluffy: it was sarcasm...aini: ass...)

"Alright Shippo, I'll be your mommy!" Kagome laughed as the little kit in her lap as he hugged her his cookies sticking out of his mouthe. She patted the kit's tail as she brought him up for a hug and she feld him close to her heart as her mother once did and still does when she hugs her. She didn't notice that Inuyasha was looking at her with a shocked look on his face along with a blush.

She still said yes after I warned her that she was also answering another question that I was going to ask later... Inuyasha thought to himself and smiled trying to change his expression just in case she saw anying thing. He smiled at the two as Shippo sat in Kagome's lap eating his cookies while she patted his tail and he sat there next to the two of them like they were a... a family. He smirked at this and got an idea but held it back until the perfect time to bring it up.

"Mommy?" Shippo asked Kagome testing it out on how she responded and to see how it felt saying it again. Kagome got all teary eyed like girls did when they found something cute and he grinned and shook his head guessing what was coming next.

"Kawaii! Yes, Shippo?" she asked while bring him up and she rubbed her cheek against his at how cute he was and brought him immediately after into a motherly hug that was gentle and warming.

"Can we get some ice-cream?"

"Oh Shippo, that's up to your dad."

"Whatever. As long as you're not tired, squirt." Inuyasha said rubbing Shippo's head and messed his hair up. Shippo shook his head slowly and tried to stiffle a yawn but it didn't work so Kagome deside she would humor him.

"Sure Shippo, we'll get some ice-cream," Kagome said as she winked at Inuyasha who nodded in understanding but he looked and turned to her like he was going to ask her something. She looked at him trying to gues the question before he could ask it so she could better prepare an answer.

"Kagome, since you agreed to be Shippo's mother don't you think it would be proper for you to move in with us... I mean I may not be Shippo's real father but he the closes one I have and I don't want to give him up. But it would be even harder for him since you just said you'd be his mother and I'm his father so maybe it would be better... um," Inuyasha didn't finish his sentence he was just too embarressed at what he was about to ask.

"Would be better what?"

"If you... and I... m-m-ma..." he couldn't do it. It was too earlyto be asking her this questioned but he knew the consuquences on not acting on finding his intended. He would surely die within a week since he just found his mate but he wasn't acting on it. He sighed and tried to refraze it some how then his eyes landed on Shippo's sleeping form and his eyes softened. No I have to do this... for him...

"Inuyasha I don't understand at what you're trying to ask."

"Kagome?"

"Uh... hai?"

"Will you be my mate?"

Kagome froze, those were the last word she ever would of guessed Inuyasha would ask her. She just thought that he would ask her to move in and she would of gladly excepted because she loved trying new things. But this, not in a million and one years would she have guessed he'd ask that; she figured she would just end up alone since she was adopted.

Inuyasha wished he'd gotten a better respose so he could of just shrugged it off but it looked like she was so shocked that she was descusted. His ears flattened against his hair and stood up brushing himself off. He bowed his apology and took Shippo into his arms from her lap and started for the door. Looks like I'll have to get Shippo that ice-cream so maybe he doesn't cry as much...

He grabbed his coat and put in on and slipped Shippo inside so he wouldn't be cold from the night's chill then grabbed Shippo's in his hand and opened the door and stepped out of the house.

Kagome woke from her thoughts when she heard the door closed then noticed that they were both gone. She sobbed bringing her hands up to her face so she could cry into them but she stopped half way. She then shot up from the coach and ran to the door and threw it open and ran out then dashed out of the shrine and down the steps noticing that he was already near the bottom. She had even forgotten to put on shoes and a coat so here she was running in to freezing cold down a whole bunch of concrete stairs so she could just tell him what she thought.

He opened the door of a limo and set Shippo inside and was about to get in himself. Her heart was pounding telling her to go to him and say yes while her mind was yelling go fast and yell to him. Her lungs were on fire but she ignored the feeling and her throat was dry but she tried it anyway.

"Inuyasha! Please, Inuyasha! Yes, I want to be your MATE!" Kagome yelled as loud as she could with her throat so dry. Inuyasha turned to her apparently hearing her and she tried to run faster because she was almost at the bottom but she tripped and started falling for the ground and she closed her eyes waiting for impact.

Inuyasha immediately saw her trip and he rushed to catch her. He caught her and he didn't even loose his footing and he looked down at her and was supprised. Her face had tear steaks going down them and fresh tears were flowing freely down her cheeks and her felt her shudder at the cold. Thats when he looked at what she was wearing: a jean skirt, a tank top, no shoes or socks, and she had no jacket on to keep her warm.

Kagome looked up at him through glassy eyes and gripped his coat and her lower lip quivery too much. He pulled her close to him opening his coat and letting her in the closing it again. She was still looking at him and it was unnerving that she would allow herself out of that house with nothing to keep her warm. She must of left in a hurry... wonder what she was saying about mate? (aini: didn't hear her whole confessionfluffy: why r u telling them that aini: they might of not understood fluffy: twit...)

"Inuyasha, yes... I want to... to be your mate..." Kagome said through gasps of breath and sobs. She was shaking fromthe cold and trying desprately to catch the breath that she lost runnign threw the cold. He smiled down at her and let her go just for a second which was a mistake.

Kagome had taken him stepping away the wrong way and she collaspsed to the ground in a violent sob. But he had only stepped to the limo the tell the drive something and she laughed at her own foolishness in thinking that he didn't want her. Besides he was the one who asked her in the first place why wouldn't he still want her.

"I need you to take Shippo home then come straight back here and wait for us. We have some packing to do," Inuyasha said before he closed the door went back to Kagome and knelt down on one knee and brought Kagome up against him and stood up with her in his arms then chuckled at one of his own thoughts.

"What?" Kagome asked him snuggling against him as he started for the stairs and stopped.

"I was kneeling down on the wet ground in a $900 dollar suit... Sess is going to kill me," Inuyasha laughed at this and lept up the stairs climing them in to leaps. Kagome gapped at him and when they landed she tugged on his hair as he walked to her door that was still open. He looked down at her and smiled.

"You can let me pay for that..."

"No, don't bother. I'll just probubly make it more comfortable in a way that Sess won't like!"
