Chapter 19

Her soft skin felt like bliss against his lips. They had not moved from the bed where I had last left on, instead shared intimate moments and thoughts. Her eyes were closed in a peaceful, lustful mannor as he slowly kissed the flesh on her neck. He had her pinned down to the bed with his whole body, but weight was not what kept her there, it was want and passion that kept her pinned. Their first truly intimate moment, it was perfect. She could feel his warm breath as it softly made contact with the skin on her neck. His fangs gently grazed over the flesh at times, giving her goosebumps all over. A low purr rumbled in her throat, only exciting him more. He knew he had her entranced, she wouldnt be going anywhere, but then, he wouldnt leave either. His lips left her neck and his nose took its spot, lovingly nuzzling her neck, a more canine trait to show affection. But them both being a little bit canine, they loved it. Her body responded to everything he did, every touch, every kiss, every breath, it all sent her over the edge with chills and desire.

But like every other time, it had to end. He tenderly smiled down at her, affectionatly caressing her cheeks as she purred in response. Softly he whispered "Kagome."

"Hmm?" she slowly opened her eyes to look into his partcially glazed ones.

"We should get ready to leave," he sighed in dismay. How he wanted to stay here forever with his love and exchange heated kisses and touches, but his mind told him no, and this time, his mind overpowered his body. He had to impress her parents, and not showing up so he could make love to their daughter, surely would not impress.

Slowly she lifted her head and kissed his sweet lips softly. "You're right," She gently squeezed him in an embrace before, "Ok, get off me then."

He reluctantly obeyed and rolled off of her, frowning at the loss of her heated body against his. He looked at her with a cute little pout. She smiled and leaned in towards him, putting her lips against his ear and sexily whispered, "later" sending chills up his entire body. As she exited the room he could not help but take a moment to look up and down her body, finding her all too attractive.

"God this is gonna be a hard eternity, " he laughed, thinking about how he would handle himself, living forever with Kagome as she looked now. He stood up on the bed and dramatically clutched his heart and moved it out far then returned it, motioning that his heart was beating wildly for her. With a little smile, he jumped down onto the bed, landing crosslegged and just thought about his beautiful demoness.

The next hour of getting ready was sufficiently interesting. Between the lustful gazes and innocent brushing up against each other as they passed each other in the hall, it was known to each other how much they wanted it. InuYasha was going wild with the scent of Kagome everywhere. A smell only a demoness could posses, a demoness that InuYasha craved. Kagome wasnt faring any better, while her demon scent was new and not spread all over yet, his was on every surface of the house, she could not escape the alluring scent of her mate.

'My grandma is probebly shaking her head at me right now," Kagome thought as she calmed herself after hitting a rush of his scent. Her body felt hot all over which was getting harder and harder to hide. She was thrown over the edge when she saw him walk out of the shower with nothing but a towel around his waist. His toned body gleaming from the water, only accentuating his muscles. 'oh my god this is almost too much for me!' she thought as she slid down the wall onto the floor, feeling dizzy.

"I'm gonna go get some air!" she hollered and dashed outside before his scent reached her again. The cold air was a nice change from the intense sexual mood coming from the house. She smiled and closed her eyes as a gentle breeze flew by her, and the small patches of snow glimmered in the sun. She sighed sadly, the snow had not lasted long. She blushed as she thought of what her and her Inu could do with the snow, maybe make a snow fort and "keep each other warm". Laughing at her thought, she made her way down the path in their yard and onto the sidewalk. A chill crawled up her back and she could smell something, death and dirt. The smell clinged in the air, reaching her nose and making her feel lightheaded. This was the smell from earlier, where they had found those ashes. When she looked around, she only saw the houses in the neighbourhood. Even though the neighbourhood was a nice one, it couldnt help but look omnious today. Something...wasnt right.

And then she saw it, just out of her vision range. A figure with long black flowing hair, and two snake like things floating around it. "What..." she said to no one in particular.

The two, figure and Kagome, stood still, staring at one another for several moments.

"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha called from within the house, "Where's the dog?"

She turned her gaze to the house for a moment, then back to where the figure stood, but it was no longer there. She paused for a moment before she heard, "Kagome?" again.

She rolled her eyes "We don't have a dog!"

"Oh Dammit!" he fumed, "I forgot to give her the dog."

Sighing, he looked around for her, "Seems she's still outside…perfect."

Quick as the flash, he ran up into the atic and got the dog from its kennel and affectionately petted it on their way down the stairs.

"Kagome?" he called out to her. "Where's the dog?"

There was a pause and nothing was said so he called to her again, "Kagome?"

This time she responded, "We don't have a dog!"

"Then what's this?" he laughed and opened the door, letting the dog run outside to her.

For a moment she just looked at it, not completely sure if she was seeing things properly, but then she smiled widely, "Awww! He's as cute as you!"

Inu rolled his eyes and walked out to her, "Merry Christmas Kagome."

"Thank you Inu!" she quickly kissed him on the cheek before focusing her attention to the dog once more, "what's his name?"

"Whatever you want it to be," he replied.

"Hmmm…I want to name him… Shiroi." She giggled as he licked her hand. Shiroi in Japanese means "white" which was the colour of the dog. Original? Maybe, but who cares, it's a pretty cool name if I do say so myself.

"Ok," he knelt down beside her, draping one arm over her shoulders and looked at the dog as she played with him. Hehad a family now, his own family, his own pup, his own mate. Well, mate to be that is. He hadn't felt like this in years, not since before his father had died. Living with your brother just doesn't cut it for parents. You don't know how much you wanted a family, until you've experienced it again for the first time in years.

He felt in the moment, so in the moment that he did something drastic, "Kagome…" he whispered to her softly.

"Yes InuYasha?" she returned back as she scratched Shiroi's ears.

"Will you marry me?" was his reply. The four words every girl waits to hear from the time they are 5 till the time it happens. And it was here for her, right now, right this instance, someone was asking her those four words. She felt no fear, no hesitation as she turned to look into the eyes she fell in the love with the first time she laid eyes on them.

"Of course…" slowly he leaned in and his lips met hers in a loving softness so meaningful it made them both wonder if this was real or not. He cupped her cheek into his hand and extended the kiss to greater lengths until they were interrupted by their young pup's calls for attention.

"Don't worry Shiroi, we didn't forget you." InuYasha explained although he doubted he understood. When he returned his gaze to his love, she was simply beaming with happiness. "C'mon Kagome," he took her hand, "lets get inside before we catch a chill."

She sighed, 'What are my parents going to think of my...new species issue...?' They were sitting in the car outside her old home, the Higurashi Shrine.
InuYasha sensed her worry, "Dont worry Kagome...It will be fine." he held her hand comfortingly, "You dont have to show them if you dont want to, the illusion will hide it until you are ready to let them know."

She slightly nodded, a little comforted by it, "Ok." took in a deep breath "Lets go then."

RING The doorbell chimed. Moments later, her little brother answered the door, "Oh hey Kagome." he said, hugging his older sibling.
"Hey Souta." they walked into the house and she smiled, feeling at home again.
"Mom and Gramps are in the kitched getting some stuff and such prepared, just...sit tight in the living room."

'Woah...what is that...?' Ginnie asked herself as she felt a presence she didnt know. The look on Nikita's face implied that she felt the same.
"Hey girls." Kagome said as she walked into the room.
Ginnie and Nikita looked at each other thinking, 'What the hell happened to her.'
"Oh Hey Kagome." they both said in unison, then exchanged glances again.
InuYasha gave them a "shhh" face that told them not to say anything and they sighed, slightly nodding in agreement. But of course they were still curious as to how this happened, but Souta walked in and they lost the moment to ask.

"Stupid cat!" came a male voice from the kitchen.
"Grandpa! Stop chasing the cat!" Souta yelled into the kitchen, hoping that he had not offended Ginnie in any way.
"Damn cat took my sacred water nymph foot!" a clatter of pots and pans could be heard.
"Dad, leave Buyo alone." Mrs.Higurashi scolded. "Why dont you go into the living room and entertain or something, tell some stories."
Not seconds later a very frustrated and annoyed looking old man came into the frontroom. "You all treat me like a child." he rattled on. "No respect for the sacred things in life."

But while no one was watching, a sulken figure stook outside the window watching. "He really has...found a better life." she said to herself. "I have no place here..."
She looked up as snow fell from the night sky, resting in her black raven hair. "But what place would one like me have in this world? I want to rest..." Her soul catches flew circles around her. "I have lived more times then i deserve. Hell should have swallowed me up and taken me forever." her fists clenched, "Damn that Naraku." The snow surrounded her and she felt no cold, she felt nothing, but emptiness and sorrow. "I must find a way to end this..." she looked to the window once more to see InuYasha smiling, "he really is happy now..." she smiled slightly, then disappeared into the darkness.

Phew...so late, I kno! Gah, you kno me, i always always always have a reason for why i never got around to it...so i wont even bother telling you because im sure by now, you dont believe me anymore. hah. So im thinking maybe one more chapter for this story and ill finish it. I might even start a new one but im thinking of trying a Naruto one, and this time, ill be planning put everything before i write because it screws me over when i dont! So many things i had to go back and check to make sure my facts were all the same. lots of extra work that wasnt nescesary! and as you can see, i didnt want to leave Kikyo a bad guy, im no so bitter to her anymore. So i wanted her to find closure and to leave looking like a good person. When i brought her back to life, I never made her a bad guy, she just got punished a lot. So I wanted to give her a break. She doesnt die, but she wants to find a way to free her soul from earth, maybe she will even end up in heaven now, who knows! But yes, before my little comment ends up being super long, I shall be leaving you, goodbye to you!
