Disclaimer: We do not own Inuyasha..

Hmmm…this is the path they were following. I should be upon a village soon.

Kouga ran till he came to the out skirts of a village. He sniffed the air. A scent that was similar to Kagome was present.

"I'm close. She has to be here."

He raced into the center of the village. The scent was faint, but he found it. He rushed to the place where the smell originates. He went to knock on the door when it burst open and an old woman was pointing an arrow at his head.

"Demon!" the old priestess screamed.

Before Kouga could respond men from the village were upon him and tied him up.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

"Silence demon! Bring him into my hut."

A coughing fit racked her body. Kouga softened his expression. The scent told him correctly. This was his future woman's Grandmother.

"They haven't arrived yet. Then I have made it here first." He said with a soft tone.

The priestess looked at him with wide eyes. She thought her hearing had gone bad.

"What they do you speak of demon? Tell me."

The villagers brought him inside and sat him in a corner. The priestess sat before him waiting for a reply.

"Well demon dog speak."

Kouga growled at this insult. He glared back at her with indigence.

"I am not a dog old hag! I am a wolf! I am Kouga, leader of the Eastern Wolf Tribe. The reason I am here is to ask for your permission to take your Granddaughter Kagome as my life mate."

"No." was all she said. She stood up and walked away back to a fire. Her cough worsened. She sat closer to the fire trying to warm her old bones.

"What! That's it?" he growled at her.

"It is not my place to say yay or nay. It is for her to decide. I will support her decision, no matter what. Even if it is to a demon." She said setting off another coughing spasm.

A look of concern replaced his angry one as he continued to watch her.

"You are really sick. Here, let me go and I'll go fetch Kagome."

The coughing ceased and she glared at Kouga.

"I will not release you, demon. We will wait for her to come here. Just as you are."

With that she turned away and laid down next the fire after grabbing a blanket. Kouga grumbled and tried to get as comfortable as he could. There was a strong enchantment on the rope that was used. His claws were useless.

Kagome, please hurry. I don't know how long either of us will last. Damn rope…

"Then it is decided. I will go with you to your Grandmother's. From there we will decide what to do about your basket."

"Fine let's just go. Grandmother is sick." Kagome said as she stood up.

The rest of the rag tag bunch did as well. All went to their rooms to gather their things. Kagome glared at Sesshoumaru as she saw him enter Rin's room. She went into hers and gathered what she had and left as fast as she had entered. Miroku and Inuyasha were outside waiting for her. Noticing that Rin and Sesshoumaru had yet to join them Kagome stormed across the hall and went right into the room. Rin jumped off the bed at the sight of her pulling her dress back up. Sesshoumaru just sat on the edge of it with no expression.

"Uh…uhh…Gome-chan…why…"Rin was cut off.

"Let's go. We don't have time for trysts right now. Grandma is sick, so move it."

Kagome fumed as she left the room leaving Rin in complete shock. Sesshoumaru got up then and walked to his mate.

"We can continue later. Let us go to your Grandmother."

"She is your Grandma now too ya know."

"Hmm"

While walking through the forest, conversation was lively and comfortable.

"Please Inuyasha? The children would be so cute with your ears." Miroku asked.

"Keh, I'd rather have children with Kagome than you." Inuyasha absent mindedly stated.

Kagome's cheeks got blood red as she looked over at Inuyasha. Rin smiled ear to ear.

"Way to go Sis. I knew you'd find someone better then Hojo."

Kagome turned her attention back to her sister. She smiled evilly.

"Yes, I wonder what Kohaku would say about you marrying someone else."

Rin went pale. She turned her gaze away from Kagome. She walked a little faster and caught up with Inuyasha. She patted him on the back and burst into the hut.

"GRANDMA! WE'RE HERE!"

Her Grandma sat up from her nap and looked at the intruder. Focusing she saw that it was Rin and she smiled. She got up and walked over to her youngest granddaughter and was about to hug her, when she noticed a certain mark where the shoulder met the neck.

"Dear what on Earth is this?" motioning to the mark.

Rin blushed. As she was about to explain, Inuyasha came into the hut behind her.

"Oi, Grandma we're here!" Inuyasha hollered.

Kaede had put two and two together. Before he knew it he was sent flying across the room. He landed hard on something soft with a familiar smell. A small grunt escaped his lips when whatever was under him moved.

"Would you get off of me you damn dog!" Kouga yelled.

"What the hell was that for you old hag! Kouga, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha inquired.

Kouga just grunted a reply and turned away from him. Inuyasha noticed that he was bound hand and foot. He burst out laughing.

"Ha! Looks as though Grandma caught the big bad wolf!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

Rin laughed at the whole scene.

"No Grandma that is not my new husband. He is." She said as Sesshoumaru stepped inside and stood beside her.

"That was Inuyasha, Kagome's new boyfriend."

"What? I am not!" Inuyasha retorted.

"That's right she is my woman!" Kouga answered.

Rin and Sesshoumaru turned to look at the new voice. Rin was still laughing and the Lord just raised an eyebrow when Kagome entered the hut with Miroku right behind her. Kagome turned her gaze with everyone else and began giggling with her sister.

"Grandma we have some news to tell you." Kagome stated with a slight giggle.

"If it is about your new boyfriend as you call it, and Rin's new husband, I already know."

Kaede looked to the demon Lord and nodded. Sesshoumaru nodded in kind and took a seat by the fire. Rin followed her mate and sat in his lap.

Kagome sweat dropped and looked at her. She quickly snapped out of it.

"No, Grandma he is not my boyfriend. Sango was taken by the demon Jaken… And why is Kouga tied up?"

"He came here to ask for my permission to wed you. I said no. I left him like thus till ye got here."

"W..wed?" Kagome stuttered

Miroku chimed in. "Wonderful! I can perform the ceremony if you like Kagome-chan."

"Shut up Miroku!" Kagome exclaimed

Keade turned to Miroku.

"And who be ye, child?"

Miroku bowed before her and smiled.

"I am a monk. Plain and simple."

"Want ye business with my Granddaughters?"

"I came across them one night. I'm hunting down the Shikon jewel. My younger brother Souta is deathly ill. If I do not find it in time, he will die."

Rin sniffled. "That is so sad. What does he have? How did he get it? How long have you been looking for it, did you know that we had…"

She was cut off by Kagome's hand covering her mouth. She turned her back to the fire as she pulled her hand from her sister's mouth.

"I think we all better sit by the fire and have a little talk." She suggested.

"Aye, we do." Was all Kaede could say before sitting down and going into another coughing fit. Kagome then walked over to her Grandma. She patted her back till she stopped coughing. She looked to Inuyasha and Kouga. Miroku sat across from her as well waiting for the other two to join them.

"Inuyasha, untie Kouga and both of you come over here." Kagome ordered.

"No way! I am not untying that mangy wolf." Inuyasha said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Inuyasha…"

"…"

"Sit!"

Inuyasha went face first onto Kouga. The force sent Kouga sprawled underneath Inuyasha. They stared into each other's eyes. They began to growl at one another.

"Get off of me mutt face!" Kouga demanded.

"I would if I could, you dumb wolf!"

"Inuyasha, you are embarrassing the family line yet again." Sesshoumaru said coolly.

Soon the spell wore off and Inuyasha's nerves were at the breaking point. He jumped to his feet and stomped to the door.

"Fine, I don't have to take this crap anymore. I'm going outside." With that he stormed outside and jumped into the tall branches of the God tree.

Kagome had walked out of her grandmother's hut after discussing what they should do. Everyone explained why he or she wanted to help get Sango back with the jewel, except Sesshoumaru.

"Why is Sesshoumaru staying with us…what is his motive? Well duh, he is my new brother-in-law. Now where is Inuyasha?"

She walked to the base of the tree she thought he would be in carefully. She didn't want to spill hot ramen all over herself. As she approached he was where she thought he'd be. She called out to him.

"Inuyasha!"

"What?"

"Come down here please."

"No!"

"Please, Inuyasha, I have dinner."

"Why…so you can make fun of me again? I'd rather starve." He crossed his arms across his chest, and sulked.

"I promise Inuyasha, I won't make fun of you."

"Fine. I'll eat."

Inuyasha jumped down to join Kagome at the bottom of the God tree. She handed him a cup of hot ramen and began to eat hers. He was skeptical of it. When he saw her eating it and proceeded to try it. After one bite he began to devour the contents with a hunger unknown to him before. He finished before Kagome. He turned to her and smiled.

"Thank you. That was very good."

Kagome began to giggle a bit as she looked at him. He flushed red. He glared at her with obvious hurt on his face.

"You promised you wouldn't make fun of me, woman!"

"I'm not." She continued to giggle.

"Feh." He went to turn away from her when she put a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.

"Inuyasha…here…"

To his amazement she wiped his nose with a handkerchief. He blinked at her as new redness spread on his cheeks.

"My mother used to…to do that too…" his tone had a far away tone as if trying not to let the pain show.

Kagome smiled warmly at him and finished wiping his nose.

"Really?"

"Mm."

They gazed into each other's eyes, as their faces were only inches apart.

"Kagome…"

"Yes?"

"You…you kinda smell nice…"

"Inuyasha…"

They continued to fall under each other's spell. Their faces got closer and closer. Kagome and Inuyasha's lips were mere centimeters from one another.

"Oi! Kagome!"

With the sound of Rin's voice and approaching footsteps they quickly separated and acted as if nothing had happened. Rin stood in front of the two and smirked.

"I hate to break up your love fest, but Grandma wants us to get going."

"What!" Inuyasha and Kagome hollered at the same time.

Rin just chuckled and started back to the hut waving for them to follow. Inuyasha and Kagome let out a sigh and did so. Kagome ran after her sister leaving Inuyasha to stroll back at his own pace.

Kagome reached out her hand and put it on Rin's shoulder. They both stopped for a second and then picked up the same stride.

"Hey Rin?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for yesterday. I didn't really mean what I said."

"Thank you Kagome. I'm sorry for being such an airhead at times."

Rin turned and smiled at her. Kagome returned it and they walked the rest of the way in silence.
