It's been a long time, I must say, and I welcome back my loyal readers (all 7 of you) to another installment of "The Love Of Angels Fallen"!

Chapter 8 "Back to Kagome's Time!"

I cracked an eye as I felt Kagome get more comfortable against my chest, her head in the crook of my neck, but then taking my by surprise as she actually gave it a small kiss and opened her eyes and smiled a dazzling smile up at me, showing off her new fangs, of which I had already memorized the texture and taste. Wonderful was the only word for it.

"Good morning, hun!" she said in a soft, drowsy voice, "did you sleep well?" She gave a small yawn as she opened her beautiful gold eyes and looked ever so cutely up at me, then snuggled closer to me, grinding her rear end against my "morning wood" teasingly, causing me to chuckle nervously as I licked her neck gently.I looked into her eyes, 'yep, there I go, I'm hypnotized again.' After a few seconds, I was able to finally break the heated optical exchange, and got out what I had been pondering for the last hour. "Kagome, we're going to have to tell your family about this." I felt her tense against me, but I was able to counter it by sending my dearest mate a wave of mental calm, in which she relaxed and nodded slightly against my chest.

I got up, taking up my mate in my arms, with a small yelp of protest from her, "Well, I believe we have to go see your family," I suggested, as I sprang from the branch, leaving it quivering in the breeze. I hoped that this was going to go well, I had seen her grandpa's reaction to my very presence, and I could only guess what he was going to do when he found out that her granddaughter was now a half demon. 'Well, were gonna have to find out now, aren't we?' I wondered as I leapt from branch to branch with ease, leaving them quivering from my sudden impacts. I reached the well clearing, and looked into Kagome's eyes from my lap. Her eyes held a fiery determination that reminded me of the good old bona fide Kagome.

"Well, let's go then!" she said a little to cheerily. I gulped, dreading the expected veil of tears that might cover her face if this didn't work well. I spotted Miroku and Sango in the woods, also, after a second, I spotted Cali to my right, only his green eyes giving away his position, and his hand giving us the thumbs up, I smiled, and she inquired as to why I had just smiled. I gave a quick "Feh!" and rushed over and hopped into the well...

Well, next chapter will be coming soon, so keep posted!
