Well people, I'm back. Not that I was gone..... But you get the picture! By the way, in this story, kagome is seventeen and a half. So many people were asking how old she was! I guess I should have told them at the beginning of the story! Heh heh! Oops.

Disclaimer-I do not own inuyasha.

Sesshomaru looked over slowly at kagome to see what her reaction would be.

Kagome seemed to be frozen. She was on the floor where she had fallen backwards in her chair, and Sesshomaru found himself admiring the contours of her body. 'This is neither the time nor the place.' He inwardly berated himself.

Kagome slowly rose to her feet, her face a frozen mask; not unlike sesshomaru's. She picked up her toppled chair and placed it on the floor, in its normal, upright position; all the while remaining silent. She slowly sat down and folded her hands on the table.

Mrs.Higurashi seemed to brace herself from the inevitable. Sesshomaru leaned forward slightly, carefully listening to kagome's heart rate and breathing; trying to piece together what her response would be. He braced himself just in time; before hell broke lose and swept through the kitchen.

"I have to get MARRIED!!?? In six months; I have to get MARRIED??!!!!! This is unbelievable! What do you mean I have to get married!!!! I'm too young to be tied down to some man!! What about my education!! What about my LIFE!?!?!? I am not getting married!!" kagome's rant shook the foundations of the house, and sesshomaru was forced to cover his ears. Her screeching was so loud, that someone called the police.

"Um no officer everything's fine. No it was my daughter. Excuse me?" there was a long pause and kagome's mother seemed ready to explode. "I did not hurt my own daughter!! What kind of mother do you think I am?!? I-what? Oh yes just a moment." She covered the phone with her hand,"kagome they want to talk to you. Obviously, they think I'm a child abuser and they want to make sure your alright." Mrs. Higurashi handed the phone to kagome.

After kagome talked to the police and got everything cleared up, they sat down again to discuss what Mrs. Higurashi had told them. Kagome lay on the couch, sesshomaru sat in the armchair, and Mrs. Higurashi sat across from them all on another armchair.

"Kagome, it's a side effect of the spell. There is nothing I can do about it. In actual truth, you need to lose your virginity but to do um....that, you will need to get married," Mrs. Higurashi said, trying to remind kagome of her morals.

Kagome groaned in embarrassment. "Mom I can't believe you just said that."

Sesshomaru sat quietly, thinking of kagome and him. 'She has to get married or she will lose her abilities as a demon and a miko. Who will she marry? Not that worthless half-breed brother of mine! Maybe she has someone here she can marry.' Stupid sesshomaru didn't even think of himself as an option. He knew she wouldn't marry him. 'why not?' he thought to himself.

The only reason you think she wont marry you is because you are to afraid to ask her. This voice in his head told him.

Who are you? And what are you doing in my head?!

I'm your conscience, baka. You've been ignoring me for so long; you forgot I was even here.

Well, why did you show yourself now?

Because. You need my help obviously.

This sesshomaru needs no ones help.

The voice in his head seemed to laugh. Sure you don't. That's why you're a confused mess. Okay, to get to the point, kagome will marry you if you ask her. Sadly, she has no one else to marry....

What do you mean, "Sadly"!!??

Ahem. As I was saying, she will marry you, but only, and I repeat only if you ask her.

Why are you doing this? Who are you!

Just think of me as you with more brains.

Kagome watched sesshomaru as emotions played across his face. Then she watched his eyes begin to leak red and she became worried.

"SESSHOMARU!!" she spoke sharply. Sesshomaru seemed to snap back into the land of the living.

"What happened? You almost lost control of your beast!" she said, a worried look on her face.

"This sesshomaru does not lose control. I was merely thinking. "He said stubbornly. Kagome sighed.

"Oh. What were you saying mom?"

"Ahem. I was saying that when your father, ketsunshi, put the concealing spell on you he told me that you have to be married before you are eighteen or you will lose all your powers; miko and demon."

"But mom I can't just get married. I don't love anyone!"

Kagome's mother looked confused. "But I thought that you and your friend-..............oh." Mrs. Higurashi looked like she was keeping something from them.

"Mom why do you have that scheming look in your eye????" kagome asked suspiciously. Sesshomaru lifted an eyebrow.

"What? Who me? I would never scheme against my daughter!!" she said unconvincingly. 'They're in love!! They just haven't told each other yet!! I'm going to have grandchildren!!! Now, how to get them together...'

Kagome leaned over to whisper something to sesshomaru. "I think we're I trouble...."

Oooh! Scheming mothers!! That's a scary thought. shudders now remember everyone, you have to give me lots of moral support. Or I wont give you anymore cookies!
