Chapter 22: Gone with a Proposal
'I swear I will murder her when I see her!' she thought.
Kagome, Naraku, Megumi, Koto, Sango and Miroku were all standing by the punch table talking, laughing, heck they were enjoying!
"I feel sorry for Yashie," Kagome murmured as she clutched onto Naraku's arm. It was getting crowded and Kagome was shoved a few times so Naraku decided she hold onto him so she wouldn't fall.
"Yeah, he has to dance with the biyatch." Koto grinned. Naraku laughed and Miroku doubled over.
"Miroku, it wasn't that funny," Sango said.
"I know, but that is," He pointed to where Kikyo and Inuyasha were dancing. Inuyasha was dancing to the beat as Kikyo did the robot.
"Oh ew!" Kagome shoved her face into Naraku's arm who too doubled over.
"That is- that has scarred me for the rest of my life." Megumi shook her head before shoving her head into her fiancé's chest.
"OI KINKY HO!" Miroku roared. Kikyo glared at Miroku but ignored her.
"THE ROBOT WENT OUT LAST CENTURY!" Naraku roared.
Inuyasha looked at Naraku who winked at Kikyo who flared up and pulled Inuyasha to her. Kagome's grip on Naraku's arm tightened and he winced. "Hello, hurting me here."
"Sorry, just that whore touching my Inuyasha, pisses me off." Kagome growled.
"Ah, so she's possessive and protective. I think being Yasha's friend for your entire life, he rubbed off on you." Megumi laughed.
"Oh shut up, how would you like it if Kikyo danced with Koto?" Kagome raised a brow at Megumi who laughed even harder. "I'd knock her out with my plushies."
Kagome stared at her before they all started laughing even more. "What type of plushies?" Miroku asked in interest.
"Oh you know, Card Captor Sakura, Gundam Seed, .hack/SIGN, Kenshin, Pokemon, Digimon, Shaman King, DN Angel, Hikaru no Go, and- Koto what's the last one?" Megumi asked her fiancé.
"The last one?" Koto raised a brow, "Sailor Moon."
"Ah yes, that." Megumi smiled. Everybody had sweat drops and their jaws were open. "Megumi-chan, you know you just named 10 animes right?" Sango asked.
"Yeah and there's more, but these plushies I have most of so you know- more ammo."
Naraku started laughing, followed by Miroku, Sango, Koto, Kagome and finally Megumi. Inuyasha watched his friends laugh and wanted so bad to join them. Then whisk Kagome, his Kagome away and make out with her till dawn. Unfortunately, he had to be with Kikyo for the rest of the night. However, in two days he was leaving so he can use the excuse of packing to spend time with Kagome. His Kagome.
"Why are we talking about plushies in our winter fest?" Kagome asked quite shocked. "Naraku, you're my date, dance with me!" Kagome said as she shoved her purse into Miroku's arms before going to dance with Naraku.
"Ouch, I feel sorry for Yasha when Kagome-chan gets pregnant." Sango murmured.
"I don't, he deserves every single ounce of pain." Miroku grinned.
"You deserve triple the pain he gets." Megumi said dryly.
"Trifle, I like trifle." Miroku said his eyes perking up.
"I said triple dumb ass, not trifle!" Megumi slapped his head.
"Sorry, losing brain cells thanks to Sango," Miroku said.
"If you weren't so perverted," Sango said, shooting her nose in the air.
"Oh Sango," Miroku sighed, "how can I help it. I'm helplessly in love with you. I mean it Sango," Miroku said. Megumi took the hint and pulled Koto out of there, who being a guy, didn't get it and was whining.
"Shut up! Miroku and Sango need some alone time. Dance with me." Megumi said.
"Damn women and their bossy ways."
"You don't need to talk like Inuyasha you know." Megumi glared at him.
"I love you too honey,"
Sango was like fish out of water. Her mouth opened and closed, opened and closed.
"What?" She breathed.
"It's- yes- I love you Sango," Miroku breathed as he took a step closer to Sango. Sango was frozen on the spot. Her heart beat increasing. She knew Inuyasha and Kagome were watching and she didn't know what to say. So she did the next best thing.
Kissed him.
Her arms wrapped around his shoulders and his hands went to her waist to support her. Their lips were soft and the kiss wasn't heated (like how Inuyasha liked it with Kagome). It was a soft and tender kiss. Once they pulled back Sango smiled with tears in her eyes. "I love you too,"
Miroku's face cracked into the largest grin as he picked up Sango and twirled her in the air. He had Kagome's purse under his arm and he was doing pretty well in keeping Sango and Kagome's purse safe. Sango giggled as Miroku nipped her lower lip. "You do?" He breathed, not believing it.
Sango sighed playfully. "It even baffles me that I fell in love with a lecher, ne?" Sango nudged Miroku who chuckled. Kagome, Naraku, Koto and Megumi walked up to them, Megumi and Kagome grinning like Miroku.
"Ohh, so something happened I presumed?" Koto winked. Naraku gave Koto a high give who grinned.
"Oh yes, Sango and I have proposed our love for each other," Miroku grinned.
"Oh wait- wait for a sec!" Kagome shrieked. She took her purse from Miroku, took out her cell phone and called Inuyasha. In the music, they faintly heard his phone ring.
"Hey," He said picking up.
"Listen to this," Kagome grinned holding her phone out. Miroku cleared his throat. "Sango and I have proposed our love for each other!"
"Finally," Inuyasha laughed, "it's about time eh?"
"Exactly! Anyways how do we go home?"
"Same as before," Inuyasha said. If he distinctly said limo, then Kikyo would understand what he meant.
"Oh cool," Kagome said before they hung up. And the rest of the night, everything went heavenly (except that Inuyasha was with Kikyo and her posse the entire time.)
Christmas is in a week, Inuyasha leaves in two days, Naraku already left and Miroku and Sango are in love. Inuyasha stayed over at Kagome's house with all his packed stuff the day after Winter Fest. School ended and now it was just them two, in an empty house.
Korari was at work. Jii-chan went to some Shrine convention thing ("Is there even such a damn thing?" Inuyasha muttered) and Souta went to chill with Kohaku.
Two days later, a limo would come to pick up Inuyasha- but that's not until later.
Kagome was laying in bed with her boyfriend beside her. He had his arm wrapped around her waist and her head was tucked under his chin. They were in her bedroom with her blanket on top of both of them. It was snowing lightly outside, but that just added all the effect of a romantic day together.
"You're leaving to Cancun huh?" Kagome said softly.
Inuyasha sighed, his chest moving under Kagome's back. "Yeah,"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kagome asked quietly.
"I didn't want you frustrate you before I lave Kagome,"
"It's even more frustrating when I find out in the limousine." Kagome shot.
Inuyasha smiled softly as he tightened his grip on Kagome. Kagome moved her head so Inuyasha wouldn't be able to see it, but he felt her tears. He groaned as he sat up and straddled Kagome's waist. He tilted her face so she would face him and he used the pad of his thumb to rub the tears away.
"Sweetheart, please, don't cry- not now."
Kagome choked back a sob as she closed her eyes, her hands covering them. Tears started spilling even more and Inuyasha couldn't take it. He bent forward and took her lips into his. His tongue rubbed on the outside of her lips before he nibbled on her bottom lip. Kagome removed her hands and placed it around his shoulder and opened her mouth, allowing him to enter.
It was a warm sensational kiss and Kagome forgot all about her previous tears. Inuyasha, being a very hormonal teen, his hormones took control of his next actions, but none of them seemed to mind. Inuyasha eased his way to lean on top of Kagome, his legs tangling with hers.
His right hand propped him up so he wouldn't crush Kagome while his left hand traveled up her shirt. Kagome took no notice as they pulled back and breathed a few before starting to kiss again. His hands inched its way up her shirt and cupped her breast from the outside of her bra. Kagome let out a soft, warm moan in the kiss and arched her back.
Inuyasha took his as a good sign and continued to kiss Kagome. Their tongues created a spark and they needed more of each other. His hand slipped underneath her bra and started to massage her actual naked breast. Kagome moaned even louder as she felt his fingers graze her hard erect nipple. Kagome felt his member press against her thigh as she lost herself in the frenzy of the kiss.
Inuyasha flipped the positions so Kagome was on top of him now and he was lying on the bed. He started kissing down her cheek to her neck where he softly kissed her there, letting his tongue trail over where his lips were. Kagome clutched his shirt, fisting her hands. Inuyasha started to nibble her ear and Kagome closed her eyes, letting Inuyasha do what he wanted.
Inuyasha's lips found their way back to Kagome's and he captured them for another sensational kiss. His hands found their way to the hem of her shirt and he was about to pull it off when-
The phone rang.
Inuyasha moaned as he broke the kiss and reached for the small phone on Kagome's bedside table. He picked it up and turned it on before pressing it against his hear. "Higurashi Residence, Kagome's boyfriend speaking."
Kagome slapped his chest lightly as her blush took over. Inuyasha laughed and winked at Kagome.
"Kagome's boyfriend?" Said the voice.
"Yeah, and who are you?"
"Miroku,"
"Why the hell would you be calling Kagome? And why the fuck would you be asking who I am?" Inuyasha growled.
"You sound- faint." Miroku grinned, "Tell me, did I interrupt something?"
"Fuck you Houshi, why'd you call?"
"Just to tell you two that Sango and I are coming tomorrow morning to spend the day with you before you leave us lonely un-famous people for Cancun."
"You do that," Inuyasha said before hanging up. He turned to Kagome who was tracing circles on his red button up shirt. He smiled as he gave her a chaste kiss before pulling back and rubbed their noses together. "What now?" He murmured. "Miroku totally killed the mood,"
Kagome giggled. "You hungry?"
"Am I!" He grinned.
"Let Madame Kagome guess," Kagome rubbed her fingers on her temple before snapping her fingers, "Ramen?"
"Of course!" Inuyasha said as the two walked downstairs grinning. Kagome got a pot of hot water and started to boil some ramen up. The two sat on the sofa, Kagome curled up against Inuyasha's chest with his arm wrapped around hers. He turned on the T.V. and turned to Kagome, "What's in the DVD player?"
"I don't know, Souta was watching something before."
Inuyasha shrugged as he got the DVD remote and flipped it on. In big letters came the word…
Ju-On.
"Oh my god no!"
"I see Ringu from where I'm sitting." Inuyasha said as he saw the Ringu dvd case.
"Oh, please Yashie-kun!" Kagome begged as she shoved her head into his chest.
"And pass the opportunity of you grabbing me every second? Dream on Sweetheart," He grinned as he played the movie.
"Oh god!" Kagome shrieked as she jumped up, using the excuse of getting their ramen. Inuyasha chuckled, knowing his girlfriend will eventually come back. Kagome did come back with two bowls of Ramen in her hands. She gave one to Inuyasha but pointedly glared at him before sitting on the opposite side of the sofa. She stared at her bowl of ramen, not looking at Inuyasha or the movie. Inuyasha sighed as he turned off the T.V. and scooted towards Kagome.
"Sweetheart," he said softly.
Kagome glared at him before spooning some ramen into her mouth.
"Kagome," He said as he licked her cheek. A shudder went through Kagome but she still ignored him. He let his kisses trail to her ear where he nibbled it a bit before going down to her neck. A tingle went through her spine as he felt him lick her shoulder a bit. He scraped his teeth over her wet shoulder and she moaned. "Ok fine," She muttered and Inuyasha kissed the side of her mouth, happily.
"I love you," he said.
"Yeah, yeah, me too." Kagome murmured.
Inuyasha chuckled as he pulled Kagome onto his lap. He had his bowl on the glass table and Kagome's bowl on her lap. He picked up the spoon and put it in Kagome's mouth who took it in graciously. He smiled before spooning with the same spoon, some ramen into his mouth
"The day after tomorrow huh?" Kagome whispered as she swallowed the ramen. Inuyasha put some more into her mouth before nodding. "Yeah, I'll miss you Kagome,"
Kagome nodded, tears from earlier welling up in her eyes. Inuyasha panicked and put her ramen bowl on the table. He caressed her cheek, his other hand on the small of her back. Kagome closed her eyes as tears fell. "Kagome," He said gingerly as he pressed his lips softly against hers. Kagome replied instantly, wanting to take in as much of him before he left for a month to Cancun. The kiss was soft but delicious. He ran his tongue around her mouth before entering it.
They broke the kiss after a few seconds and Kagome pressed her forehead against his. "I love you so much Inuyasha,"
Inuyasha licked her lips, "I love you too, my Kagome."
Kagome and Inuyasha woke up the next morning due to his cell phone ringing. It was the second day of winter break and the last day Inuyasha was in Japan. Kagome moaned as she looked at the digital clock. It was 6am for goodness sake.
"Who calls this early?" Kagome murmured, "Mama is still sleeping,"
"Kikyo," Inuyasha growled as he saw her number on his cell. Kagome yawned as she put her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around her torso. Inuyasha wrapped his left hand around Kagome's waist before picking the phone up with his left.
"Inuyasha here," He said gruffly as he dug his face into Kagome's hair.
"Inu-kun!" Kikyo's shrill voice came.
"Kikyo! Do you know what time it is," Inuyasha growled.
"I know, I just wanted to be the first one to say goodbye."
Inuyasha was shocked. "Isn't it usually people want to say goodbye last."
"I know, but now you can remember me as being the one to say goodbye first."
"So you called 6 in the morning. Do you know you could've woke everybody up!"
"Oh Inu-kun, your bedroom is so secluded in your house, I hardly doubt your cell phone ringing would wake anybody up."
"But you woke Sweetheart up."
Kikyo gasped. "What?"
"Nothing,"
"No it's not nothing, what is it!" Kikyo demanded.
"Just a rhetorical phrase." Inuyasha grumbled.
"Oh," Kikyo said bitter sweetly, "Then I'll see you at the airport?"
"No, personal jet- you can't get in unless you have a pass." Inuyasha said.
"But can't you bring me in?" Kikyo whined.
"Yashie," Kagome moaned wanting him to shut up so she can sleep.
"Shh," He murmured before kissing her head.
"What's going on?" Kikyo asked.
"Radio's on," Inuyasha answered Kikyo.
"Alright, I love you Inu-kun,"
"Yeah," He said before hanging up. Kagome wiggled a bit trying to get comfortable. Inuyasha laughed as he tightened his hold on her, both of them falling asleep.
They woke up later hearing the main door close. Inuyasha, being a light sleeper, woke up. Kagome, being a bit of a heavier sleeping but still light, woke up due to the shifting Inuyasha was doing.
"Sorry," He said sheepishly.
"No problem, Mama must've left for work."
Inuyasha stretched and walked out of the bedroom.
"Take some clothes! I don't want you walking around in a tank and boxers," Kagome called after him.
"Shaddup," Inuyasha murmured as he walked into the bathroom. Kagome giggled as she straightened her tank top. She walked out of her bedroom to find Souta still sleeping and her Jii-chan sweeping the shrine steps. She stretched and grabbed some clothes and waited for Inuyasha to finish his shower. She stood up when she saw her bedroom door opening, her jaw dropped. There in front of her was Inuyasha, with dripping hair and a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Hey Sweetheart," He grinned.
"H-hi," Kagome squeaked.
"I take it," He said as he stepped closer to her, Kagome took a step back and fell onto her bed. Inuyasha was looming over her grinning wildly, "you like what you see?"
That totally ruined the moment. Kagome shrieked. "Ignorant bastard!" and ran to the bathroom to take her shower. Inuyasha laughed as he put on some suitable clothing.
Half an hour later, Souta, Kagome, Jii-chan and Inuyasha were all eating breakfast.
"Nee-chan, I'm going biking with Kohaku after."
"After being?"
"When he and Sango come in a few minutes." Souta grinned.
"Fine, but be back before 6, we have to see Yashie off."
"Of course," Souta grinned. Jii-chan finished eating and grumbling something like, 'Disrespectful granddaughter, bringing a man into her room before she's married'.
Kagome glared at her grandfather as he left. "Dumb old man," She murmured. Souta and Inuyasha burst out laughing. The doorbell rung and they all knew it was Miroku and Sango. Souta jumped up and opened the door.
"Hey Miroku, hey Sango, let's go Kohaku!" Souta said as they ran to the storage hut to get two bikes.
"Okay," Sango said as she watched the two boys bike onto the street.
"Hi!" Kagome squealed as she hugged her friends.
"Hey, we're here to spend time and give Inuyasha one helluva day to remember," Miroku said.
"Oh yes," Kagome said as she ran up to her bedroom.
Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha looked at each other as Kagome came own with a wrapped box, a fair sized box in her hand.
"Don't you dare open it before Christmas eve." Kagome glared at him.
Inuyasha grinned. "Scouts honour."
"So what do we do now?" Sango asked.
"Watch Ringu?" Inuyasha grinned. Kagome's eyes widened as she hid behind Sango. "He'll be the end of me."
Miroku chuckled. "Say are we coming to the airport with you?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "No, too much publicity."
"Ah, alright, Ringu, or part 2?" Sango asked.
"Sango!" Kagome whined.
Everybody laughed.
Finally, Izayoi called Inuyasha telling him Jaken is coming to pick him up. Sango and Miroku bid Inuyasha farewell and now it was Kagome and Inuyasha's turn. Sango and Miroku were standing off to the side, Souta and Kohaku also bade farewell to Inuyasha (Kohaku knew about Inuyasha but was sworn to secrecy). Kagome and Inuyasha stared at each other before they hugged each other really tight.
Inuyasha pulled back and tilted her face up, pressing his lips against hers. They heard the limo pull up but they didn't care. They continued to kiss in front of their friends. Souta and Kohaku were disgusted but tried to withstand it.
"I'll miss you," Kagome murmured.
Inuyasha nodded as he pressed his forehead against hers. "I'll miss you too, oh- I'll give my Christmas gift to you now." He said.
Kagome gasped. "What, but, isn't that for-"
Inuyasha chuckled. "Santa will forgive you if you open one present early. Besides, I need to be there when you open it." He said. He turned to Souta, Kohaku, Sango and Miroku and smiled. "I'm mailing your gifts from Cancun."
"You better," Miroku teased.
Inuyasha pulled a small velvet box from his back pocket and turned to Kagome. Kagome's eyes widened as she looked at Inuyasha go down on one knee. "Oh my god," Sango whispered.
"Kagome," Inuyasha started, "I've known you since we were babies, we've grown up together, basically lived together, worked together and did everything together. Somewhere along the line I fell in love with you. I didn't know when, I don't know how, but I probably denied myself. But not any more," He smiled at her, "I love you with all my heart Kagome, with all my soul. I know we're young, and I'm not forcing you, but I don't want to go to Cancun knowing that anybody could take you, you're my life Kagome."
Kagome's breath caught in her throat.
"We don't have to get married right away; we can stay engaged for as long as you want, that's up to you. All you have to do is answer this question Kagome: will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive?"
Kagome had tears in her eyes as she stared at Inuyasha's face. He looked so cute, yet serious. How could she not? She loved him since she was 10, and now she's 18. Eight years is a long time. The tears kept on coming but she ignored them. Souta and Kohaku totally forgot about their hatred for romance, this was something they wanted to watch.
"Yes," She murmured, watching his face crack into a huge grin, "I'll marry you." Inuyasha took the ring out of its case and slipped it onto her finger. Kagome looked at the ring closely; it was silver with a diamond on the top. Small rubies decorated the band and there was a sapphire stone in the center of the diamond.
Kagome flashed a sweet smile at Inuyasha who got up and pulled her into a very passionate kiss. Kagome melted in his mouth, loving the way his mouth work around hers. They heard clapping and Kagome lifted her feet up, causing Sango to giggle. The two pulled back and hugged.
"You're now mine Sweetheart," He grinned.
Kagome pecked his lips. "Of course,"
"FINALLY!" Came Korari's voice, "I get grandchildren! Izayoi and Inutaisho were waiting for this day, not to mention me!"
"Mama," Kagome gasped as she saw her mother with a video camera behind Inuyasha.
"Did you really think I'd go to work when Inuyasha is leaving?" Korari shook her head. "Oh yes, Sesshomaru and Rin are staying because Rin is in her 7th month,"
"So she gives birth about right after you come back?" Kagome grinned.
"Yes, alright Jaken is getting angry, bye everybody, I'll see you on Valentines day," Inuyasha turned to his now fiancée, "bye Kagome."
"Bye," Kagome whispered as he pressed his lips against hers. Inuyasha grabbed his luggage and went to the limo, waving goodbye. Kagome give him a flying kiss and he smiled, catching it and placing it at his heart.
"I LOVE YOU!" She yelled as he winked at her.
"Bye," She murmured as she sank to her knees, staring at her engagement ring, tears welling up in her eyes.
'Mrs. Kagome Takahashi,' she thought, liking the sound of that.
12 pages, a proposal, a lime… what more can a chapter hold? This story is almost done… muwahah!
