Sorry about the spelling and grammar as always! Enjoy!
Chapter 7: The Rule of Love
"Stay here tonight Inu-yasha, let's go out, I think some of Sota's clothing should fit you, he's been really into baggy clothing as of late." Whispered Kagome.
"Go out?" asked Inu-yasha.
Kagome pulled away from a bit and sat up yeah, "We'll go watch a movie and have dinner. Like a couple."
Inu-yasha looked at the ceiling and sighed, "Shouldn't you be doing that with that Hojou guy?"
Like every other time, he once again brought up that small fact and it pissed her off, why was he allowed to do this to her, but she wasn't when he went running after Kikyou. She took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling of her room.
"I'm tired of it Inu-yasha, your always making some sort insinuation that I'm doing something wrong, I wonder if its wrong for other men to think that I'm attractive." She said as she sat up holding the towel close to her body and looking at him in that sad way she did when ever he said something hurtful to her.
"Kagome-"
"Never mind, I'll get dressed, and we can get going. I wasn't too excited about my date with Hojou, but understand this Inu-yasha, I'm not 15 anymore and I need to start dating, and having a social life, so that I may one day have a family." She said as she went behind the screen to get dressed.
Inu-yasha sat on the bed, and looked at the wooden floor, he knew this to be true, she wasn't young anymore and if he didn't make a move now, he might lose her to someone who can give her a family.
Kagome sighed as she looked at him, she knew his dilemma, but it wasn't fair to her anymore, a couple of years back she was okay with just being by his side, but now it wasn't cutting it. She knew what she needed to do. "I'm sorry Inu-yasha, but I don't go by 50 years not aging, in another 50 years I will be close to my death."
"Why are you telling me all this! I know that your human and you'll die in time." He snapped, his eyes looked murderous like when he was ready for a kill.
Kagome softened her eyes, she was afraid of him after all these years, she came to know him, and actually was a little pleased that he was reacting in such a way. She walked slowly towards him and placed a hand on his cheek, "look at me Inu-yasha."
He did, he looked at her glowing face, which always smiled for him, no matter what he said to her, no matter how terribly he treated her.
Kagome laughed lightly, "you make it so hard to love you Inu-yasha, but I do. And I'm not going anywhere for a while, I'm content to stay by your side as your companion, but sometimes I want something more." She ran her hand through his hair and smiled, "I'm going to wait as long as I can, but time runs so much faster for me than it does for you. What you say we give it a try, give us a try."
He was dumbfounded for a second before he found his lips curve, Kagome was an amazingly patient woman, and here she was giving him another chance. "Okay, let's do it then."
Kagome smiled and nodded as she wrapped her arms around him.

The night air was cool, this was just like in those silly romance movies, but now this was happening for her, she looked over at Inu-yasha who fit in the lose jeans, black blazer over a button down shirt, even the baseball cap looked just great with the outfit, Sota did a good job at dressing him, it was funny how much her little brother became the well dress, charming ladies man. The little boy who was shy about giving a girl flowers, was now out partying when ever he could.
"You look very good Inu-yasha; all these girls are giggly over you." She laughed as she tightened her grip on his arm as they walked the Tokyo streets.
He 'kehed' and walked beside her, somehow those were the kinds of things he never worried himself over, it never occurred to him that, these modern girls might find him good looking, he never really sought after girls, just one, no two. "I don't understand this openness that you modern girls have, I mean now they do all these things on their own and no body stops them or looks down on them, you even have single mothers."
Kagome smiled, "a lot has changed Inu-yasha, and I mean it came to a point where women needed to walk on their own. I mean I would like to be able raise a child on my own without being judged if it ever happened that I had a child and the father for whatever reason wasn't around."
He stopped and looked at her, "I would never leave any woman to raise a child on her own. No matter what the time, someone will always make it seem as if the child was less important or different because he didn't have a father."
One of the rare moments when Inu-yasha would let his personal thoughts, the really deep ones that meant something to him slip out, and she knew why he felt this way, "Inu-yasha…I'm sorry I didn't mean it in that way-"
He stopped her by placing a hand on shoulder and smiling at her, "I will never do that Kagome; if I father a child that is both yours and mine I will fight and make sure that, that child is equal or better then any other child, because he'll be loved by not only you but both of us."
She was stunned and even more so, when he leaned into her and placed his lips over hers. This was really their second kiss, but she saw it as a first because he incited it.

That really started it all, that one night out. And he was ready to show her that he would keep his promise, if she chose to be his forever. The idea of her bearing a child that wasn't his was bad, but the idea that she'd for what ever reason might have to endure what his mother endured was the worst. He promised that moment that he would make sure that he always took care of her, just as she did for him.
That is why he decided that the courtship should be in her world as well, seeing as they will have to live in both in order to make their relationship work. It was time that he took time seriously for both Kagome and himself. Kikyou isn't coming back and even if she did, he didn't want her anymore, that bond has been severed. He has things to protect just as Sesshoumaru.
