Hey! Welcome back for Chapter 7! I hope that you liked the last chapter! Did any of you think that Kagome was really dead? If you did, you had better think again, because I wouldn't kill Inuyasha or Kagome. You think that I am stupid or somethin'? I want to tell you that in my story, Inuyasha and Kagome can talk telepathically in their minds. Just wanted to make that clear before anyone asked me. Well, enough of that. On with Chapter 7!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any other characters related to Inuyasha except for Kimi!

Chapter 7: Kagome's Decision and Sango and Miroku's Surprise
"Uh, Kagome…will you…uh…I don't know how to put this…" Inuyasha said as he stumbled over his words.
"What is it Inuyasha? Just come out and say it!" Kagome said.
"All right then… Kagome, will you…be my mate?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome's heart missed a beat.
"He wants me to marry him? I don't know what to do!" Kagome thought quickly.
"And if I do accept, what will Hojo think when I tell him that I'm getting married?" She thought.
"Inuyasha, I…" Kagome said, as she made up her mind. Then, without warning, she fainted.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha said as he dove to catch her.
"Kagome, are you all right?" Inuyasha said shaking her.
"I guess that the question shocked her to much. I'll bring her back to the guest home at Kaede's. I guess that I'll just have to be patient to get an answer." He thought.
He picked her up, and carried her back to the village.

"Inuyasha, what happened?" Sango asked as he saw Inuyasha walking out of the forest carrying Kagome in his arms. She ran over to him.
"What happened? Did a demon attack you?" Sango asked him again.
"No. I just asked her a question, and I think that it shocked her to much." Inuyasha said in answer to her question.
"What was the question?" Sango asked him.
"Uuuuhhhhh… I'll tell you later." Inuyasha said.
"Can you help me get Kagome into one of the guest bedrooms?" Inuyasha asked Sango.
"Under one condition." Sango said.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked her.
"You have to tell me what you asked Kagome." She answered him.
"After Kagome waked up and gives me an answer." Inuyasha said to Sango, getting a bit irritated at Sango's nosiness.
Sango helped Inuyasha get Kagome into one of the bedrooms. Sango left the room to go and find Miroku, while Inuyasha stayed in the room to wait for Kagome to wake up. He leaned against a wall with Tetsusaiga in his lap to wait. Then, he fell asleep.

Inuyasha opened his eyes.
"Where am I?" He asked himself. He looked around. Inuyasha then looked beside him. He saw Kagome leaning against him, asleep. He smiled.
"She must have woken up and saw me sleeping. Man, I haven't felt this rested in age's!" He thought as he looked around. When his eyes fell upon the window, he was surprised. It looked like it was dawn.
"I must have been sleeping for at least fourteen hours!" He said to himself. Kagome stirred. Inuyasha watched her as she opened her eyes and looked up at him.
"What time is it?" Kagome asked him as she gave a big yawn.
"It's about dawn from what it looks like from looking out the window." Inuyasha told her.
"I better wait until she is completely awake to ask her the question." Inuyasha thought.
"How long have we been sleeping?" Kagome asked him.
"I don't know. I think about fourteen to sixteen hours." Inuyasha said in answer to her question.
"Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked Kagome, trying to keep a steady conversation going.
"I'll just work it into the conversation!" Inuyasha thought.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked him.
"Well, you just fainted yesterday, I was just wondering if you were okay." Inuyasha said.
"I'm fine." Kagome said.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha said.
"What is it, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him.
"About yesterday…" He said.
"Inuyasha," Kagome interrupted him, "I accept." Inuyasha's heart missed a beat.
"She accepts? Yes!" Inuyasha thought as he jumped for joy in his mind.
"All right. Do you want to tell the others?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Sure. We have to wait for them to get up first." Kagome said.
To pass the time, Inuyasha and Kagome just went back to sleep.

"What's all this about, Inuyasha?" Kimi asked him as he led her to the feast hall in the guest hall.
"You'll find out when we get to there. Now, just be patient!" Inuyasha told her.
"I thought that I would never here that coming from you…" Kimi said under her breath.
"Say something Kimi? Would you like to share that little comment?" Inuyasha asked in an annoyed tone to his little sister.
"No, it's nothing." Kimi said looking at the ground.
"We're here." Inuyasha announced as they got there.
"Did you get everyone else, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her as he went and set next to her.
"Yup." She answered him.
"What is all of this about Inuyasha? Kagome?" Sango asked as both of them.
"We have an announcement to make." Inuyasha told everyone. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara were already in the hall. Kaede couldn't be there because she was off blessing a new home with her miko powers.
"Do you want to do the honors?" Inuyasha asked Kagome telepathically.
"I guess. You always make me do the hard stuff, don't ya?" Kagome asked him.
"Yup." Inuyasha thought with a grin on his face.
"Inuyasha and I, well…" Kagome said.
"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked her, wanting to know what was going on.
"We're getting married." Inuyasha said simply. Everyone looked at them in shock.
"What?" Kimi managed to say in a weak tone
"I thought that you and Kagome were far, but not this far…" Miroku said.
Then, he whispered something to Sango. She looked at him in surprise. Then, she whispered something back to him. Then, it was his turn to look at her. He whispered something back to Sango. She nodded.
"Inuyasha, what do you think they're whispering about?" Kagome thought to him as she saw them whispering. Inuyasha had a look of mild disgust on his face. Kagome had asked him because she knew that Inuyasha could hear what they were whispering.
"You don't want to know…" Inuyasha thought, a look of mild discust on his face.
"I'll leave you alone, then." Kagome thought to him as she rolled her eyes.
Then, Kagome looked at Shippo. He seemed to be in shock because he hadn't moved at all. "Shippo, are you okay?" Kagome asked, going over to him.
"Huh?" Shippo asked. "Are you okay?" Kagome asked him again.
"Yeah, just thinking." Shippo said.
"Congratulations!" Sango said, still in a bit of shock, but she didn't want to be rude.
"Thanks." Kagome said in response.
"If you'll excuse us, Sango and I have some important business to discuss. We will be in our bedroom, and only bother us if it is really important." Miroku said getting up, and then helping Sango up.
"What's up with them? Since when did Miroku and Sango whisper to each other and then want to share a room together? Why don't they want anyone to bother them?" Shippo asked Kagome.
"You really don't want to know…" Kimi told Shippo, then she started to giggle.
"I think that they will have a fun time!" She said.
"Inuyasha! Tell me what they're doing!" Kagome asked him.
"You'll find out in the next day or two." Inuyasha assured her.
"I had better." Kagome said. "Now, its time to eat!" She said, going into the kitchen to get the delicious lunch she had made for them all.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Tell me again, Inuyasha. Where are we going?" Kagome asked him, as he led her down the hallway of their guest home.
"We're going to go to the feast hall." He answered her. (A/N This is three days since Kagome and Inuyasha got engaged.)
Once they had gotten into the hall, Inuyasha said, "We're here." He brought Kagome to their usual place at the dining table. Sango, Miroku, Kimi, Shippo, Kirara, and Kaede were already there.
"Now why are we here? Does it have something to do with ye?" Kaede asked Kagome and Inuyasha.
"We were the ones that have sent out the invitation for all of you to be here." Miroku said, so that Kagome nor Inuyasha would have to answer.
"We have two announcements to make." Sango said.
"Well, what are they?" Shippo asked desperately, wanting to know what was going on.
"Miroku and I are getting married as well." Sango said, before Miroku could tell them.
"You are? I'm so happy for you!" Kagome said to Sango in excitement.
"Congratulations you two!" Shippo said.
"So what's the other announcement?" Inuyasha asked Miroku.
Miroku looked at Sango. "You tell them. It's your surprise." Miroku told her. Sango blushed.
"I'm…uh…" Sango stammered.
"Just tell us, child." Kaede told Sango.
"I'm carrying Miroku's child." Sango said. Everyone except for Miroku was completely shocked.
"I knew that they were close to getting engaged, but I didn't know that they were this close…" Kagome thought to Inuyasha.
"Well, now are you glad that I didn't tell you what they were whispering the other day?" Inuyasha thought back to Kagome.
"Yeah, thanks for not telling." Said a new voice that came from neither Kagome, nor Inuyasha.
"Who is it?" Kagome thought.
"It's me, Sango." Sango said.
"I'm here as well." Miroku said.
"How can you do this?" Kagome thought. "I thought that only Inuyasha and I could do it."
"I think that since we are at the same stage in life, we're all friends, and we are all mates, then I guess that we can do it." Sango thought.
"Are you all right? Sango? Miroku? Kagome? Inuyasha? You guys okay?" Shippo asked them. Kirara mewed concernedly.
They must have zoned out talking to each other. They were all suddenly brought back to reality.
"Oh, sorry Shippo." Kagome said as she looked at him.
"Are you guys okay? All of a sudden, you guys just zoned out." Shippo said.
"We're fine." Miroku said.
"Better not do that again unless we're alone…" He thought to all of them.
"Your right. Let's get together after lunch and we can talk about our wedding plans." Kagome thought/
"K." They thought back.
"What's this?" Sango asked Kaede as people from the village started to bring out food
"Your lunch child." Kaede said.
"Let us eat to celebrate these wonderful surprises!" She said. They all started to chow down on food. After lunch, some villagers brought out some old bottles.
"What's this?" Kagome asked Kaede. Inuyasha sniffed the air.
"Is it…sake?" He asked.
"Yes, it is!" Sango said as she opened one of the bottles. Shippo reached to get a glass of the sake, but Kagome stopped him.
"You're to young." She said.
"But it's not fair! Why can't I?" Shippo asked in a whiney tone.
"You're to young. Just wait another year or two, and you'll be old enough." Sango told Shippo.
"Here Shippo, since you can't have the sake, here's some candy that I brought." Kagome said, handing him a lollipop.
Shippo took it happily in his hands and tried to take the wrapper off.
"Kagome, could you take of this wrapper?" Shippo asked Kagome as he held up the lollipop.
"Sure." Kagome said putting down her glass of sake to take off the wrapper.
After Kagome had taken off the wrapper, Shippo licked at the lollipop joyfully.

"Hehehe…You gettin a bit tired Inuyasha? Hehehe…" Kagome said as she giggled nonstop. She was drunk. So were Kimi, Miroku and Sango. Inuyasha was just sitting there, immune to the alcohol. Shippo had gone to bed, but still in the feast hall was Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kimi, and Inuyasha. This was the first time that she had drunk sake.
"I think that I had better get you all to bed." Inuyasha said, standing up and helping all of them up one at a time. First, he got Sango, then Kimi, then Miroku, and finally, he picked up Kagome and put her in his arms bridal style.
He led them into their individual rooms(Sango and Miroku were still sharing a room.), but he brought Kagome to his room.
"Inuyasha, what are you doin? Aren't we going to my room?" Kagome asked him, getting confused.
"I want to do something." Inuyasha said as he laid her down on his pallet.
He laid down next to her and put his arm around her waist. He then kissed her neck. She turned around and they kissed. They laid back in their sleeping position and fell asleep.
