Last Time:

Sesshomaru, for the first time, blushed. "Sort of. The old magician has a potion that can age you, in a way. She can age you to whatever age you would like, preferably seventeen or eighteen. You could, if you were to say yes, have a demon lifespan along with it." He looked down to Rin. "So, I guess I am saying…Will you be my mate if you choose to take the potion?"

"Yes." She croaked.

Without much more thought, Sesshomaru smiled and lowered his lips hesitantly to Rin's. He stopped a couple of inches from her mouth. She nodded slightly for him to continue. He smirked and closed the gap between their lips.

"Are we mates now?" She asked Sesshomaru.

He blushed a little. "Not yet."

Rin made a silent 'o' with her mouth and turned to Kione. "Thank you."

She nodded. "Now go, enjoy life!"

They nodded and walked out the door. "Hey, Sesshomaru. Does this mean I have demon senses and powers too?"

"To a certain extent, Rin."

Rin grinned then. "I'll race you."

Sesshomaru smirked back. "You're on."

This time:

Kagome sat up and stretched, her back and neck cracking slightly. She had only been in the Feudal Era for a few days now. Her arms stretched all over the place, and not realizing it, Kagome's arm rammed into something soft. She looked over, curious to what mysterious object she had hit.

"Oi, wench, watch it!" A grumpy, tired voice answered her. She giggled.

"Oops, sorry!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever…"

Inuyasha sat up and rubbed his eyes. He stopped and looked to Kagome passionately. He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips.

Kagome made a content sigh against Inuyasha's opened lips. Every time he kissed her lately, she sort of…melted. He smirked as he pulled away, his hands still on her hips.

"Like your wake-up call?"

Kagome smirked and leaned in for another soul-sapping, heart-stealing kiss when Inuyasha's ears twitched and turned his face, making Kagome crash awkwardly into his cheek.

A cyclone was headed their way.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome close, as if fearing that she might disappear if he didn't. "Koga…I thought Kagome told you to stay away from her."

"I-I didn't know you were here. Are you two…um, together?" His voice cracked slightly when he said "together".

Kagome stood to walk over to Koga. Inuyasha was reluctant to let her go, but Kagome shot him a look that said "If you follow me, you will suffer severe pain".

"K-Koga?" She asked sheepishly. "I need to ask a big favor."

"What is it, Kagome?"

Kagome took in a deep breath. "May I please have your jewel shards?"

Meanwhile, With Sango

"Miroku!" She sobbed into his shirt. "I can't do it, Miroku, I can't!"

Miroku looked down at his wife and hugged her tightly. "Yes, Sango, you can do it. Kaede won't hurt you. She won't hurt the babies. She just needs a check-up. You know what, I'll walk with you, okay? Will that be okay?"

Sango nodded into his chest and started walking again, leaning heavily on her husband for support.

Back With Kagome

Koga, after about five minutes, bent down hesitantly, and pulled the two shards out of his legs. He put them in Kagome's hand, and closed it. "Here." With that to remember him by, Koga ran in the opposite direction as fast as he could without his jewel shards.

Kagome sighed. "Good-bye Koga!" She yelled to him. "Thanks!"

In return, Koga turned around and winked at Kagome. Then, seeing Inuyasha's face, started running again.

After they couldn't see him anymore, until the dirt had been fully cleared, Inuyasha finally spoke, walking up to Kagome.

"Do you think he's gone for good now?" He growled in Koga's direction, annoyed that Koga had been anywhere within a fifty-foot radius of his…What was Kagome? A girlfriend? Mate? Shard detector?

Kagome smiled, bringing Inuyasha out of his thoughts. "Yeah, he's gone."

Inuyasha nodded and lied back down against the tree they had been sleeping beside. "So…How many more shards, do you think, before we're done?"

Kagome sighed inwardly and sat down. "I think four." She tried not to cry. Did he still think of her as a shard detector, Kikyo's replacement?

"Well…" Inuyasha left the sentence hanging and leaned in to kiss her, but before he could touch her lips, she put her hands on his chest and stood up.

"No." Was all she said.

What was she doing? Inuyasha bit his lip slightly, looking intently at Kagome. Recovering quickly, he stood also and looked down, mumbling, "Yeah, we should get going."

As they were walking in silence, Inuyasha started a debate with himself and his human side.

Did I do something wrong?

No. I don't think so.

Then why the hell is she so…mad?

Maybe you should ask her.

Maybe I will.

Fine then. Do it.

He sucked in a deep breath and stopped walking, turning Kagome to face him. "Kagome?"

She looked him square in the eye, making him cower slightly. "Yes?"

"What's wrong? I mean, you're acting sort of…strange."

"Oh, I'm sooo strange!" She yelled suddenly. "If I'm so strange, then maybe I'll just leave!"

Those words caught him off-guard, but Inuyasha came to his senses when she started to walk away angrily. He grabbed her arm and turned her to face him again.

"I-I didn't mean it like that, Kagome. Just tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help?" She was close, close enough to kiss her, but Inuyasha sensed it would be bad timing if he did, and settled for resting his hand on her cheek. She leaned into it slightly. "You can tell me anything, you know that, right?"

Kagome nodded and leaned in to his touch even more. He felt water on his hand. She was crying. He lifted her head up so he could see her better, and she had no where else to look but at him. He wiped away some of her tears with his thumb. "What's wrong?"

"It's just-" Kagome looked him straight in the eye. "-what are we? I mean…I love you a lot, but I don't know what we are."

It wouldn't have made sense to anyone else but Inuyasha, for he understood what she was saying completely. He swallowed hard.

"You're my…you're mine. Kagome, you're mine."

She smiled and hugged him. Not the reaction he had hoped for, but it was good anyway. "so…does that mean that you are mine?"

Inuyasha growled playfully. "No. You are mine. I am not yours."

She giggled and kissed him on the nose. "Uh-huh. Sure."

They walked back to the village hand in hand.

About ten feet from the village, Inuyasha and Kagome heard a piercing scream. On instinct, Inuyasha pulled Kagome behind his back protectively. They heard the scream again.

"Monk! I hate you! GET BACK HERE, COWARD!"

Sango came into view, chasing a very distressed Miroku.

"Now, my dear Sango, don't be rash!"

Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer. He had never seen a pregnant woman be this…violent before.

Kaede was trying her hardest to catch Sango. She eventually caught her and led her towards Kaede's hut. Inuyasha and Kagome walked cautiously to a beaten Miroku.

Inuyasha spoke first. "What did you do now?"

Miroku sniffed loudly, signaling that he was crying. Kagome gasped and ran to him, putting a comforting arm around his shoulders. "Miroku, what's up?" She asked softly. Inuyasha couldn't help but think how great of a mother Kagome would be.

"I-I've never seen Sango like that before. I didn't even do anything!" Miroku started. "She was scared to go to Kaede's for a check-up, so I decided to walk her there. I was guiding her there, and I tripped over a root, and my hand fell a bit. But it was only on her back!" Kagome stood. "And then she just started hitting me!"

Instead of laughing like Miroku thought Inuyasha would, he pulled Kagome swiftly to his chest, growling.

"Let me tell you something," He hissed, "If you even think of pulling that crap on Kagome, you will be in more pain then Sango could ever give you."

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha lovingly. "You wouldn't have to do that. I could do it myself."

He looked back at her and smiled slightly. "I know."

By then, Miroku had stood, and was backing away slowly. "I'll just leave you two alone. You guys are doing a good thing for the population, you know."

Inuyasha growled menacingly. "Shut up, monk!"

Kagome stuck her tongue out at Miroku in a very child-like way, then looked up at Inuyasha again, who was still glaring in the direction Miroku had went.

"Inuyasha?"

He looked down to her. "Hm?"

"I love you."

He smiled. "I love you, too."
