Hello to all! Woah I think I am on a roll for thinking up new chapters in like... 3 days XD I am so happy! I loved this chapter (it isn't my favorite... But I like it!) You can read ahead so you know what I am talking about XD I hope this doesn't seem rushed... AGAIN... but I still hope it doesn't, because I really wanted to get to the BIG part that everyone wanted to hear... I will tell you my thoughts at the end XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but I own my story!


Kagome woke several hours later on her back, looking up at the ceiling. She felt her face still wet from the tears she released. She couldn't believe that she still thought about Inuyasha. But you can't forget anyone. She smiled, and looked to her left. She looked out the window, and saw it was dark outside. I haven't eaten today! She sat up, and looked at the door, noticing the doorknob moving. Now what?

Akina walked into her room with a tray of food ready for Kagome to eat. Her mouth was already drooling from the sight of food she was about to eat. "Your dinner is ready, my lady." Kagome still hated that name, but she was focused on the food.

"Did Sango and the rest of them eat like this?" Akina bowed her head, and placed the food onto the bed, on her lap.

"They left when you were sleeping. They told me that they wanted to see you again, just for a day. I don't know why though." Kagome hung her head, and looked at the food, about to cry. Why would they leave without saying goodbye? She looked back at Akina.

"Did Sesshoumaru scare them away?" Akina shook her head. Why would they leave then? What was on their mind that was so important to leave?

Akina saw Kagome pick up a piece of food, smiling. "Sesshoumaru did talk to them before they left." Kagome stopped eating, looking at Akina. "You can ask him once you have finished eating." She nodded, and kept eating the food in front of her. Gosh, this food is good! Akina bowed, and left the room, leaving Kagome to scarf down the food to herself.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, can I go play with Shippo?" Rin asked. He looked down, and waved his hand, letting them play in the castle. "Hooray! Come on Shippo, let's go play!" Shippo nodded, and they ran off into a room. Sesshoumaru turned around and walked to the stairs, looking up to see her door. He believed her knowing that her friends left her without even saying goodbye when she was sleeping. He wanted to go up there and talk to her now.

He walked up the stairs quietly, only to hear the annoying voice of his 'faithful' companion. "My lord!" Jaken yelled throughout the halls of the castle. Sesshoumaru stopped at the middle of the flight of stairs, and looked at Jaken, running up to him.

"What is it, Jaken?" Jaken stopped, panting from a couple of stairs away from Sesshoumaru.

"Why must I be around that horrible child and that other child? They are equally annoying!" Jaken told him. Sesshoumaru couldn't believe that Jaken was talking about his 'children' around him, especially Rin!

"Jaken." Jaken looked up, and saw a slight bit of anger run through his eyes, as if Sesshoumaru could possibly appreciate the annoying brats around him! "Do not talk about them like that." Jaken was taken back! Why did he like the kids now?

"But, my lord!" Sesshoumaru looked back at her door, and looked back to Jaken. "Why must you like—" Sesshoumaru sent him a cold stare, and Jaken knew to back off. "As you wish." He bowed, and ran back to the children to keep an eye on them.

Sesshoumaru, however, kept walking up the steps. He wanted to speak to her, wanting to hear her angelic voice. But what would she be doing at this moment? All he wanted to know, all the questions popping up in his head, they became clearer when approaching the door more and more. He reached the top, staring at her door, wanting to go inside, and love her.

"Oh my gosh! That food was awesome!" She sprawled back onto the bed, letting the tray still lay on her lap. She sighed in relief, feeling her stomach full to it's capacity. Oh my goodness that was good! She closed her eyes, smiling for finally eating this day. But the smile began to fade away.

Images of her friends smiling, laughing, crying with her, were beginning to show. She began to wonder again why they left without saying goodbye. Was it because they didn't want to see her crying? Was it that they hated her? Maybe they really did hate her. Maybe they wanted to harm her by making her feel pain.

Suddenly, a knock was heard at the door, and her eyes shot open. She looked at the door ahead of her, wondering if that was Akina getting her tray, or Shippo wanting to play. She tensed up under the covers, and said, "Come in." The door opened slowly, with the only evidence of knowing who it was: Silver hair.

"Miko." She sighed and kept staring at him. She tilted her head, wondering what he would want. "Come to my room." Just like that, he was gone, the door shutting the door behind him, without her getting a word in it. She blinked a couple of times, confused, and sat up in bed. She got out of bed, placed the tray on the ground, and walked towards the door, reaching for the doorknob.

She opened the door, and walking out into the hall. She looked to her right, seeing his door creepily shut. She shivered, and walked up to it, knocking on the door. "Sesshoumaru, open this door NOW?" She yelled, but once the door opened, she fell flat on her face. Sesshoumaru blinked a couple of times, and helped her up. He shut the door, letting her brush off her outfit.

"Kagome." She turned around, in shock. He actually used her name? That was, what, the third time? She lost count. "This Sesshoumaru has something on my mind that must be spoken." She nodded, listening to every word he said to her, but saw the moonlight shine through the room. She smiled, and grabbed his hand.

"Before you tell me, let's go outside, in the moonlight, okay?" He did a quick nod, and she pulled him to the balcony, standing under the moonlight, together. "Now you may tell me." She smiled, looking at him in his eyes.

"First, I must tell you the reason of your friends leaving you." He told her everything that happened, from the smiling, to the yelling.

FLASHBACK!

Sango, Miroku and Kirara reached the entrance door, sighing at the same time, looking back onto the castle. "Miroku, we'll visit her again, right?" She said, smiling like always. He smiled back, and nodded.

"I'm pretty sure we will." Sango nodded, and began to open the door, but suddenly stopped when she heard footsteps coming towards them. She turned around, along with Kirara and Miroku, seeing Sesshoumaru.

"I see you are leaving." They all nodded. "As you wish." Sesshoumaru turned around, and began to walk away, saying, "Do not bring pain to her." Sango could not stand him, and began to yell at him.

"We didn't bring pain to her! That's not the reason why we left!" Sesshoumaru stopped in his tracks, looking back at the group. He kept walking away, sending shivers up their spines.

"I do not wish to know why you are leaving, but you have brought her pain. I wish for you not to." Sango clenched her fists, yelling back to Sesshoumaru.

"Why do you care so much about a human? You are only holding her because you want to torture her!" He stopped, turned back to her, and sent her a death glare, making her stop talking like that to him. He turned back around, thinking to himself.

I wish not to torture her. I only wish to love her. With those words constantly in his mind, the group, in tears, left without saying goodbye to their dearest friend, who was sleeping.

END OF FLASHBACK!

"Why must I feel this feeling towards you?" He asked her. She didn't get it. What feeling? Happiness? She wanted to laugh at that one. What feeling… COME ON! You don't know? No… It's… well, you will find out once you ask!

"What feeling do you feel towards me?" He raised his eyebrow, then blinked. How does she not know? Because you never show your emotions!

"Before I answer that one question," He looked up at the moon, then back to her, comparing the beauties in both of the celestial beings. "I must ask you one question that will make it clear." She nodded, still smiling, just to be with him. "Do you have a father in mind for Shippo?" Her eyes widened, hearing the question. He was right! She didn't have a father figure for him! She shook her head and he nodded. He stepped closer to her, putting a finger under her chin, tilting it to meet his eyes. "Then I will become the father."

She couldn't believe that those words were coming out of his mouth. Was it true? Did he really want to be the father of Shippo? "But why?" He smirked, which she thought was the first she saw him "smile".

"Because you are the one to be my mate." Her mouth slightly became open, making her gasp, blush, and widen her eyes at the same time. This has to be a dream. This cannot be happening! Oh but it is! But why me? Because you are just the one for him! I want to be his mate, but what if this is a show? Oh come on! It isn't! Just be his mate! But… Her thoughts were cut off by her one-and-only's lips.

Sesshoumaru…


Well, that's the end of this one! I wanted to make her answer be the next chapter, because (I BELIEVE!) the next one will be thelast chapter, basically telling whatwill happen to Kagome andSesshoumaru with her answer, and thatstuff, then what happens to Miroku andSango on their way back home,then I will start on the sequel... You want a reason? Well... I don't have one! XD I just want it to be like, a sappy ending, and then go onto a sequel... I have ideas for the sequel, but they aren't really organized XD (I would have a preview for the next chapter, but I don't want to post it XD)

Ja ne!
