Chapter 3

Aftershock

Kagome POV

Oh my god! Inuyasha is kissing me!

That's what I thought as soon as Inuyasha's mouth had closed against mine.

It was the best thing that ever happened to me. All I did was accidentally trip over an over grown tree branch, Inuyasha caught me, and then….he put his lips on mine….

I couldn't believe it at first. Inuyasha was actually kissing me…

At the moment we had our lips pressed against each other and god! I wanted it to last all day….

But finally as he slowly pulled his face away from mine I fluttered open my eyes and exhaled slowly. "Inuyasha……I-" I was interrupted by a clawed finger coming up to my lips.

"Shhh…" Inuyasha said to me, smiling slightly. "I already know….at least…I think I do." I smiled back at him. Inuyasha can be so sweet at times. "If….your thinking that…" I slowly slid my fingers around his waist as I spoke and was welcomed with his hands around mine, "I love you, then you would be correct."

He smirked, "I was hoping."

I rested my head on his chest running my hands across his back.

"Kagome…" I looked up slightly, "Yes?"

"I love you."

My heart probably swelled to about three times its size. I smiled as I choked back tears.

"I love you too, Inuyasha…"

I sighed finally getting the words out and closed my eyes resting my head on his chest.

Inuyasha POV

I closed my eyes and rested my head on top of Kagome's. I still had my arms wrapped around her waist, she on the other hand had moved her hands from roaming around my back to resting on my chest.

I lead us over to an old tree and we sat against it still in the samepositions we were in.

I don't know how long we were like that but the next thing I know is waking up with Kagome's raven hair in my face.

"Kagome…?" I gently rubbed her back with one of my hands. "Kagome? How long have we been out here?"

She groaned in surprise and opened her eyes slowly. "Huh?" She then looked around. "Oh!...What- what time is it!" Kagome lifted up her wrist from my chest. She then looked at some sort of bracelet with a thing with numbers on it. I think she calls it a 'watch'.

"Oh no! It's 10:30!" she brought up her hand and ran it through her hair worriedly, "I told my mom I'd come visit at 9:00!" She got up quickly and started to walk off but was stopped by my arm swinging around her waist and bringing her to me.

I smirked down at her with my hand holding onto her waist. "Your mom can wait a little while more, cause you're staying right here." She looked up at me with a mock expression of annoyance.

"Inuyasha! Don't make me say it…." I gave her a grin. "Come on, both of us know that you wouldn't sit me right now even if you could…."

Kagome POV

Damn….he was right…. He knew I couldn't sit him after what happened! I hate it when he's so smug….

"That's not fair! It's obvious that I wouldn't do that!" I gave him a playful shove and looked at him crossing my arms over my chest.

"We still have to find that firewood, remember?" It was true, that food wasn't ganna cook itself. And they needed wood if they ever wanted to eat. Inuyasha sighed and rolled his eyes. "Ok! Fine! You win, we'll go get the damned firewood."

Inuyasha POV

We started walking through the forest heading toward the center picking up blocks of wood along the way. As we got closer to the middle of the forest I kept thinking to myself how much I loved Kagome. I really loved her so much… so much as to make her my mate…

Should I ask her? Or shouldn't I? God this is so fucking confusing….

Kagome….Mate….Love….Yes….. I should ask her….I should!

"Kagome!" I said to her turning to grab her arm dropping the firewood and causing Kagome to also drop hers.

"Huh?" she asked confused, "What is it Inuyasha?" She looked at me with a concerned look. "Kagome…I…" I stopped trying to find the right way.

I took a deep breath, Damn… "Kagome, would you be my mate?"
