Chapter 28: What Hojo? Unbelievable!

It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,

Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

…

Kagome can feel the rays burning lightly on her close eyelids, she slowly opens them and peering her sight through the broken window of the shed. It had stopped snowing for this morning. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes then turned around. She smiled as she took the sight of Inuyasha, sleeping peacefully with her in his arms. Carefully she freed herself from his grasp and put back on her clothes.

She looked at her hands, she just noticed that her wounds were gone.

"How did that happen?", she asked herself

"I healed them"

When she turned around she almost yelped when she saw that Inuyasha was right behind her and very close.

"You healed them? But how? I don't see you bringing any medication"

Inuyasha smirked. "I'm you're medication"

Kagome raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

"Let me demonstrate"

He took hold of her wrist then he slowly grazed his fangs on it then bit it. Kagome cringed from the pain then she saw a bit of blood coming out. Inuyasha licked the wound and it instantly vanished.

"Wow……this is better than my healing powers", said Kagome

But Inuyasha wasn't listening to her as he kissed her arm up to her shoulder, giving Kagome goosebumps.

"Look at me", she said then Inuyasha looked at her face. Kagome looked at his golden eyes. Those eyes belongs to the hanyou that she's in love with but what caught her by surprise is the tint of crimson in them, reminding of her of the passionate demon within him. She smiled lovingly at him.

"This…..this is the real you….", she said then Inuyasha took hold of both her hands then sent butterfly kisses then moved his face forward to hers as their noses touch.

"Thank you….for everything….for accepting everything of me….", he whispered, his breath tickling her face.

"I will always love you no matter what you are as long as this is mine", she said as she pointed to the center of his chest.

"It's yours, I'm yours…..", he said huskily then he closed the gap between them, kissing with her all the love he has for her which no one can count, not even the strongest wizard could comprehend his powers to his love for this woman.

Tristan walked in a hurry on the corridors as he reaches to a shoji door then he knocked it.

"Kaoriri-sama?"

He heard light footsteps coming towards the door then seconds later it slide open, revealing the Queen of the Shikon Kingdom.

"Yes, Tristan?"

"The castle guards reported that Inuyasha and Kagome had just arrived", he answered

"Where? Where are they? Take me to them", she said in an eager voice.

"Follow me Kaoriri-sama", he said then Kaoriri followed the younger man then minutes later they reached the castle doors then went outside and from afar she could see two figures from the snow. Then as the figures got near she saw Inuyasha carrying Kagome on his back. Without hesitation she ran towards them, ignoring Tristan's protests.

"Kagome!", she cried then Kagome's head perked up then looked forward and she was surprise to see her mother trudging through the snow. She put herself down from Inuyasha's back then ran towards her mom.

"Mom!", Kagome cried then the two hugged each other tight.

"I was so worried about you", said Kaoriri, bits of tears spilling from her eyes. They let go of each other then Kagome wiped her mother's tears away.

"It's okay mom, Inuyasha is with me the whole time", she said

"Unless I'm the reason why she is so worried", Inuyasha said as he walked beside Kagome.

"Don't worry Inuyasha, I trust you completely….. that's why I didn't send a search party because I know that you'll return my daughter safely", said Kaoriri and what she said just hit something hard for Inuyasha's part. He was completely touched.

"Thank you for trusting me for your daughter", said Inuyasha with sincerity and with deep thanks. Kaoriri smiled at him in welcome.

"Now let's get you both inside and you two better take a bath", said Kaoriri which gave Inuyasha some naughty ideas. Kaoriri noticed that look in his eyes.

"Individually of course", said Kaoriri and Inuyasha just grinned. Kagome giggled.

"I'll go first", said Kagome then she kissed Inuyasha goodbye then ran to her room. When she arrived inside her room, she put all the bathing necessities in a small basket and grabbed her white yukata then she left her room and went to the bathroom.

When she got inside she took off her clothes and placed them in a waste basket then she gradually went down the bath tub filled with hot water. She started rinsing herself with soap then massaged her hair and scalp with shampoo then washed herself with water, after she was completely cleaned from the soap and shampoo, she relaxed herself on the bath tub.

She looked at her hands, it still amazed her that her wounds were gone. Completely gone. Then she remembered those eyes. Those eyes showed everything of what and who Inuyasha really is. She's not loving a hanyou or a demon anymore, she's in love with the true being of Inuyasha and he told her that his heart was hers, always. She sighed in content then a small smile crept up to her face.

"Last night…..that was just incredible…..god!", she squealed under the water, feeling all giddy about the passionate night she had with the demon. That feeling she had when he touched her was just beyond reason, just amazing.

Several minutes later she got off from the tub then dried her self with a towel though her hair was still damped. She put on her yukata then went out the bathroom as she walked through the wooden corridors to her room, she saw Inuyasha coming out of a room. Inuyasha whipped his head to the direction of Kagome when he sensed her. He could feel himself lusting for her again when he saw her in a white bathrobe and he could almost see through it and her damped hair was sticking on the yukata that he could see the form of her breast.

Kagome looked at him questioningly, wondering what got him aroused then she remembered that she's wearing a white bath robe and her hair is damped. She crossed her arms, covering her breast and looking at him with a stern look.

"Get a hobby Inuyasha", she said

"I thought I already had one", he said seductively then Kagome walked towards him then placed her face inches apart from his.

"When we're going to plan our wedding, you'll be needing a new one to keep yourself busy", she said with a sly smile. His eyes widened in realization.

"You don't mean that", he said

"I'm a woman with my word", she responded. He lowly growled.

"Tut tut tut…..that ain't going to work my dear fiancé", she teased.

"You are really going to regret this on our wedding night, Koishii", he threatened her but she could see the humor in his eyes.

"We'll see about that anata", she said then she walked past him and left to her room.

After Inuyasha took a bath, he went to his room and changed himself with a blue hakama and a white gi then he placed his Tetsusaiga around his waist. Thinking that Kagome was with her mother he decided to just roam around the castle. As he walked around the corridors he heard cries and shouts, he followed the sound then he stopped to the dojo and saw a dozen of guys doing kenjutsu but what surprised him was that he saw Kagome in a green hakama and white tank top and she's talking cheerfully with a man who had blue eyes and eye glasses.

He was about to interrupt the two when someone called to him.

"Ah, Inuyasha-san….I'm surprise to see you here in the dojo. Welcome", said Kyo. The truth is, he saw Inuyasha the minute he arrived, he just stayed silent and observed him. He wasn't quite sure if he actually turned back to normal then he saw Inuyasha watching Kagome talking to Tristan and he could sense his chi starting to rise from his anger so he decided to intervene.

When Kagome heard Inuyasha's name, she turned her head and saw Inuyasha with Kyo. She stood up then walked to the two.

"Hey Inuyasha!", Kagome greeted him

"Kagome, what are you doing here and dressed like that?", he said as he looked at her skeptically.

"I always come here and dress like this", she answered him.

"It's true Inuyasha-san, Kagome mostly comes to the dojo and train with the other boys", said Kyo, for some reason things aren't going too well right now. He could really sense Inuyasha's jealousy even without sensing his chi.

"Training? I don't think talking with another guy is considered training", said Inuyasha.

"For some reason I have a feeling you guys are talking about me", said Tristan as he walked towards them. Then Kagome slapped her forehead.

"I forgot to introduce you guys! Inuyasha this is my cousin Kyo and this other guy is Tristan who I also consider as my cousin or my brother even though we aren't really blood-related", said Kagome. Kyo offered his hand to Inuyasha and he shook it. So did Tristan and Inuyasha was a bit hesitant but he shook his hand anyway.

"Care to spar with me Inuyasha-san?", asked Tristan.

"Gladly", said Inuyasha smoothly. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, she understands why Inuyasha would accept so eagerly then she turned her attention to Tristan, but she doesn't understand why would Tristan proposed a match with Inuyasha right away. She shrugged, deciding to just let them be. Must be a manly thing she doesn't know about.

Everyone formed a huge circle as the two did their stances at the center. Tristan just stayed in his fighting stance calmly with his sword on it's scabbard while Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga then took a minute of silence then Inuyasha charged at Tristan, when Inuyasha got near he saw an opening and he was perfectly sure that he would hit the target but as Tristan unsheathed his sword, Inuyasha was gone.

He swiftly looked around then he sensed a chi from above then he took a side-step, barely dodging Inuyasha's attack then with lightning speed, Inuyasha was in front of Tristan and was about to strike him on the gut but fortunately for Tristan, he was able to block the attack and backed away then Tristan bended his knees and positioned the tilt of his sword at his side then he charged at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha saw him coming then he spun around then in an instant the tilt of his Tetsusaiga is at the back of Tristan's neck.

"It's over", said Inuyasha

"Not quite", said Tristan then in a flash Tristan was behind Inuyasha, that caught him off guard then took a safe distance from Tristan.

"You're fast", said Tristan

"I could say the same thing to you", Inuyasha remarked then Tristan's eyes widened when Inuyasha disappeared then he sighed in defeat when he sensed Inuyasha behind him with the blade in front of his neck.

"But you can't keep up with me", said Inuyasha

"You're a very skilled swordsman", Tristan complimented. That surprised Inuyasha, he didn't expect a praise from him. He lowered his Tetsusaiga then Tristan faced him and they both bowed in respect.

Then the boys clapped, awe-struck on the scene they just saw.

"That was awesome!"

"Inuyasha-kun was so fast!"

"I want to learn to do that!"

Tristan chuckled. "Seems you got a fan club, Inuyasha-san"

"Er……"

"It's pretty obvious that Inuyasha is a natural fighter", said Kyo as he and Kagome walked towards them.

"And if you guys want to be skillful as Inuyasha-san then I suggest that you start training harder", said Kyo as he looked at the boys then they formed in line and started training again. Kagome giggled at the sight.

"It seems that they are really inspired, thanks to you", said Kagome, looking at Inuyasha

"Oh and wait 'till you see Kagome with her presentation later this afternoon.", said Tristan. Inuyasha raised a brow.

"A presentation?", he asked. Kyo nodded. "It is tradition that every daughter of the family will perform something and this year it's Kagome-san's turn"

Inuyasha turned to Kagome. "Is that so?"

"Hehehehe…..just wait and see Inuyasha", said Kagome as she gave him a wink.

"Inuyasha-san, may I have a word with you?", asked Hojo

Inuyasha looked at him skeptically. "Who are you?", he asked

"I'm Hojo"

So this is the guy they were talking about, funny……I didn't see him leeching around Kagome…

"Sure", said Inuyasha then they walked towards the courtyard.

It's already the afternoon and it's raining snow again. It seems that in the morning it would stop snowing, giving the sun some time to shed a little bit of light and importantly warmth.

"So you're Kagome-chan's fiancé……..", Hojo started, feeling a bit nervous now that he was actually talking to this man face to face, well he's trying to talk to his face but he keeps on looking to the snow.

"Yeah I am, what about it?", asked Inuyasha

"I knew that Kagome had a lot of suitors like Ryo Zeta……and me…."

That caught Inuyasha's attention, now he really was curious on what was Hojo trying to say.

Hojo let out a breath. "Kagome told me before that Ryo was the best thing that happened to her life. She was happy and her life was filled with adventures that she never experienced in her life and she never regretted it even with the bad times that came along her way."

Hojo looked at Inuyasha and his face paled in fear when he saw the dangerous glare in Inuyasha's eyes. He should have known not to mention about Kagome being happy with another man but Inuyasha just stayed silent, silently telling him to continue.

"But when they broke up, she was devastated and never wanted to experience love again….."

"But then she found me…..", said Inuyasha, Hojo looked at him and nodded.

"Yes, yes…..she did find you, she found the love that she wanted in you …..", he said sadly, fighting back the tears in his eyes.

This man is actually crying……he really loves Kagome……

"Yes, I do love Kagome…..and I'm fighting back these tears…..these are tears of joy but I prefer smiling for her happiness…..I'm an optimistic person, that's why I keep on courting her even though I know she would always make excuses,hehe……..I know Kagome, I really do. Even though we're really not that close. I adore her and I just love watching her, for the past few years I have grown to understand on what's her personality is like. I'm really surprised that she is actually engaged….."

Then he looked at Inuyasha again. "You two were in an arranged engagement right?"

"Yes, we were……"

Hojo looked back at the snow. Looking at the petals of the Sakura trees falling along with the white snow. It seems like they blended well together as if they were meant to be.

Like these two….

"Kagome could have broken the engagement"

"How would you know?", he asked, looking at him curiously

"Because she broke off her previous arranged engagement before, she found a loophole"

Inuyasha was shock. He didn't know that but this man knows. "How did you know about that? Who was she engaged to?"

"Me"

"What?"

Hojo laughed. "Surprise, aren't you? Yes, I was engaged with Kagome when she and I were 14. It was my grandfather's decision and Kagome didn't like it. She did everything she could to break off the engagement and she found it. In an ancient Danish book that was hidden at the depths of our attic of the castle, the loophole and she succeeded."

Inuyasha couldn't believe on the new information he just received. It seems so bizarre, so surreal yet it's all true. He was speechless, he couldn't utter a word. He doesn't know what to say.

"So you see why I'm surprise? She was in an arranged engagement with you yet she didn't break it in the beginning. There must have been a reason why she didn't break it off from the start…..I don't know the reason why though, perhaps you could tell me?"

Inuyasha shook his head. "I'm as clueless as you"

"You know, once, she told me that a queen doesn't need a king. She always believed in that but before that she also told me that a woman needs someone in her life. She finally found that someone, you…."

They heard footsteps coming their way, they looked to the direction of the sound and saw Kyo heading there way. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything but we're being called now in the ballroom."

"Sure, we'll be there", said Inuyasha

Kyo looked at them skeptically then he left. Inuyasha sighed then placed a hand on Hojo's shoulder. "Thanks for telling me this", he said

"Anytime", Hojo replied

"Anytime…….."

Everyone went inside the ballroom wearing their best kimonos and they sat down on the chairs where in front of them was a grand piano.

Kaoriri, in her red kimono with a great dragon design, walked to the center of the ballroom, greeting everyone with a smile.

"It gives me great pleasure to introduce you this year's performance by my daughter, Kagome Higurashi"

Then everyone started clapping as Kagome walked gracefully to the center of the ballroom. Inuyaha was awe-struck as he saw Kagome wearing a beautiful raven kimono with white plums as a design, it's like the petals of the white plums are falling in a stellar night. Her face was painted with just light make-up, showing her natural beauty and emphasizing her glamorous amber-chocolate eyes while her hair was in a high ponytail with a white plum kanzahi (hair ornaments) on her head. Exquisite, she just looks exquisite.

I don't know if I want her on it or off with it……, he thought naughtily

She bowed then headed to the piano and sat down on the chair.

"I will be playing and singing a song that I composed myself, hopefully all of you will enjoy it", she said then she started playing the piano.

And then she began to sing.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through… through it all

Inuyasha noticed that while she was singing, she was looking at him and he could see from her eyes that this song was made for him. She is singing her love to him.

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

"And this is my other son, Inuyasha"

Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other strangely. They stared each other for awhile it's like they were under a spell that they couldn't look away but luckily Kagome had the strength to break the spell.

"N-nice to meet y-you, Prince Inuyasha" Kagome stuttered, handing him her shaking hand

Inuyasha noticed that her hand was shaking, he took her hand. Giving it a firm grip.

"Keh! Just call me Inuyasha princess" he smirked. Kagome giggled.

"Then call me Kagome aswell, Inuyasha" she said with humor in her eyes

"Sure thing, Kagome" Izayoi and Kaoriri squealed with glee. Sesshomaru look skeptically at the older women.

Izayoi had an idea. She walked up to Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Why don't you two dance"

"Eh? Acck!" they exclaimed as they were pushed to the dance floor. They looked dumbfounded at each other. Inuyasha shrugged then place his arm on her waist, pulling her towards him making her gasp, taking her hand then started dancing.

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

"If I get this shot, promise me that you would not skip every meal and that you would eat with the rest of us", I said. From the corner of my eye I can see her eyes widen and confuse. I'm confused as well, I don't know why I said that but it can't be helped now since I said it already.

"You're on then", she said with a smile, I feel the warmth from her smile, radiating within me.

I let go of the arrow and it hit the bull's eye. I mentally sighed in relief, the truth is I'm not really good with archery. I'm more on sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat so I was really lucky on taking that shot. I turned to her, instead of expecting a look of surprise or a frown, I see her smiling like she is glad that I took that shot.

"Why are you smiling?"

"I knew that you would take that shot", I looked at her, confuse.

"Oh? Why is that?", she closed the gap between the two of us. I could smell her intoxicating scent of jasmine.

"Because I'm lady luck", she replied with a mocking smile. I smirked at her cockiness. I lifted her chin, looking at her chocolate brown eyes.

"So tell me my lady….do you feel lucky right now?", I asked huskily as I slowly leaned down and gently kissed her

"Hey Inuyasha, we should head back you know. Shippou and Rin are waiting for us"

He didn't move at all. I shook his shoulders.

"Kagome…….go away…", he murmured. I stood up, looking at this idiot with annoyance then an idea popped in my head. I grinned. I crossed my arms then I sat on Inuyasha's stomach, hard. He gasped at the sudden impact, he groaned in pain. I just laughed.

"Get off me! You want me to die!", he yelled.

"Since when does a person die from sitting on his stomach?", I asked, quirking a brow. He growled then he paused. I look at him curiously then I felt a bit nervous when he had that sly grin on his face. What the heck is he thinking now?

I gasped when his arms were on my waist then all of a sudden, my back was on the grass and he's on top of me. My eyes widen with surprise at the current events.

"What are you doing!", I yelled as I struggle from his grasp but his grip on my arms were too strong, I can't escape. I'm a sitting duck well more like a lying duck but whatever. He looked at me with that intense and playful look.

"Well how do you like it if I drop myself on to you?", he said huskily, I feel myself shivering when his breath touched my skin, like I'm electrocuted. I turn my head to the side so I won't look at his face.

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

Kagome grinned at him then looked up at the sky. Her smile brightened.

"There's your answer", she said.

Inuyasha quirked a brow then followed her gaze at the sky. His eyes widened. The dark sky had lit up to an enchanting mystical light. Different colors touching each other as they glowed brightly in the night. It was something he had never seen in his entire life but he had hoped for it since his childhood but he had given up on it for he thought he would never have the chance but he is staring at his childhood wish right now, the aurora.

"Surprise", Kagome whispered in his ear and he suddenly feels warm and fuzzy inside.

"How did you know?", he asked, still looking at the enchanting light. Kagome had a small smile on her face as she looked at the horizon, seeing the reflection of the aurora on the deep blue sea.

"You're mother told me about it so I asked help from Sesshomaru to plan this. Plus I saw pictures of you when you were a kid. You looked very cute back then", she said with a small laugh.

"Beautiful isn't it?", she asked.

"Yeah…….very beautiful……"

Kagome nodded then averted her gaze to Inuyasha and surprisingly he was looking at her already with a deep and intense look in his eyes.

Kagome sighed. "Stupid Inuyasha, can't he see that I stayed because of him…."

"I knew you were lying"

Kagome gasped, almost dropping the contents of her hot chocolate. Inuyasha was standing there on the doorway, giving her a look that says: You're in trouble.

"I-Inuyasha….w-what are you doing here?", she stammered as she carefully placed the mug on the table. She feels extremely nervous under his intense gaze and even more when he closed the door and locked it.

What the hell are you doing!

She wanted to yell it out loud but she couldn't find her voice.

Inuyasha stepped forward towards her until he was just barely inches away from her which wasn't really that far.

"How dare you barged in to my room", she said, trying to regain her strength and courage.

"It's my castle"

She didn't have a comeback for that, she sighed. "Why are you here?"

"To know the truth", he replied. Kagome gulped. Oh no, not this again!

"Oh yes this again", as if he was reading her thoughts. "And this time, I'm not leaving until I get some answers. Until I know the truth."

"But it's true, I do have obligations as future queen for this kingdom"

"I thought you wanted out from this engagement?"

He got her again. Damn him!

She sighed. There's no use hiding it any longer. He heard her muttering under her breath.

"Say that again?", he said.

"Because I wanted to stay with you!", she blurted out then she gasped when Inuyasha pushed her to the bed, her back on the bed as Inuyasha is on top of her, his arms on each side of her body as he leaned his face to hers, their noses barely touching one another.

"That's what I wanted to hear", he said huskily then he captured her lips with his.

"Your love, your tender and passionate love for me….for the hanyou….for accepting everything of what I am…..you're just incredible and unpredictable sometimes…..it doesn't surprise me that I have accepted you already as my mate. No one, no one else but you. I belong to you as you belong to me for eternity, even if time has left this world. My love for you won't. It's stronger than any phenomenon than anyone could imagine"

"Anata……", she said breathlessly. Remembering what the demon had said was the same thing that her hanyou told her the other night. They are one and the same and she loves him. Everything of him.

"Koishii…..", he said huskily

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Kagome brushed her long raven hair as she looked at the mirror, clad in her white yukata. It was a habit she got used to ever since when she was around 7 years old, she saw her mother brushing her hair before she goes to sleep and she decided to try it.

The she turned around when she heard the door slide open and she was a bit shock that she saw Inuyasha.

"Hey, what brings you here?", she asked

Inuyasha stepped inside her room then slide the door close. Kagome saw the serious and questioning look on his face.

"Anything wrong?", she asked

He sat down beside her but he still wouldn't look up. "Why didn't you break off the engagement?"

That caught Kagome off guard. "What are you talking about?"

"I talked with Hojo this afternoon and he told me about some things you didn't tell me about……."

Kagome looked surprise, in disbelief that Hojo even talked to Inuyasha and he even told Inuyasha about their previous engagement.

"I'm sorry……should I have told you about it before?", said Kagome

Inuyasha shrugged. "It's okay that you didn't tell me about your previous engagement with Hojo but I want to know is…..why didn't you break off our engagement from the beginning?"

"Are you saying that you wanted me to?"

"What I'm saying is that you could have done the same thing to me as you did to Hojo"

"But I didn't", she said

"Why?"

Kagome sighed, she couldn't evade his questions anymore. "Remember the first time we danced?"

Inuyasha looked at her skeptically. "Yeah….what about it?"

She let out small laugh. "It's been awhile since I felt safe and secure in someone's arms. And the time that I looked clearly to your eyes, I felt mesmerized. I couldn't escape, I wouldn't, even though I could have……there's just something that's….tugging in my heart….and nagging me to give you a chance……"

"You didn't want to give up on me back then?", he asked

"Not even now and I won't. I remembered that day when Sango told me that I might find somebody for me…..and I did…..I'm really glad I did I gave you that chance…..", she sniffed, fighting back the tears then Inuyasha embraced her, soothing her back.

"Sometimes I even wonder, what if I didn't give you a chance…..would I still be happy back then? But I'm so in love with you that just being away from you would drive me insane. I couldn't imagine life without you…..I couldn't bare it…I couldn't live without you…..I love you so much…..I-"

"Enough. That's enough now Kagome…..it's alright…..I'm here…..you have me and you'll always have me, no matter what….."

Inuyasha pulled back then wiped away her tears. "Koishii….please stop crying….."

"Loving you is not the problem….it's trying to stop", said Kagome

"Heh! Believe me, that problem would last more than a life time", he teased and Kagome giggled a bit and wiped away her dried tears then she looked at his eyes, searching something that holds dear in her heart. Deep in her heart.

"Please….say it….", she pleaded

He smiled lovingly at her then she yelped when he lifted her up then brought her down to her futon with him on top of her.

"I love you Kagome, my woman", he said huskily then he started nuzzling her neck then kissed her way up until he reached her lips. This time his kiss was more gentle and tender than the previous ones that he always did.

"Thank you…….."

The Sun has risen but the clouds covered it's rays and in this winter morning, it stopped snowing again. The scent of plums, cherry blossoms and jasmine filled the cool morning air, giving back the earth a bit of life before it was covered with a blanket of snow. It was the right moment for the engaged couple to have a little visit in the memorial center.

"Kagome, where are you?"

"Over here", Inuyasha heard her and he followed her voice until he saw her form from the thick and cold snow and he trudged and finally reached to her side as he rubbed his hands with his gloves.

"Why are we here?", he asked. Kagome bent down on her knees and wiped the snow off from something with her gloved hands.

"For this", she said

Inuyasha looked at the graved prism and noticed that it was a memorial. It read:

Sinclair Haru Higurashi

King of The Shikon Kingdom

Died in war

1360 – 1400

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose…

All that we loved deeply becomes a part of us"

"It's your father's memorial………", said Inuyasha

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, hey dad……I know that you are watching us right now and I would like to introduce you to the man that you put me in an engagement with. Inuyasha Taishou, he's a fun, silly and loving being and I love him"

Inuyasha embraced her from behind and Kagome held his arms. He could see how much she misses her father.

"And guess what…..we're getting married"

I like the name, Sinclair...'echoes'
