Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but am often mistaken for him. Grins the way Inuyasha always does, showing his fangs

Ok something that I decided to finally add is Inuyasha's inner demon, when it talks it will be like this and I hope that the changes I've been making have made it easier to read. Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter 8

Kagome:

Yawing I stretch my arms and slowly open my eyes to find Inuyasha's head is no longer in my lap. Worried I try to stand up but feel something wrap tightly around my waist pulling me back down, turning my head slightly I notice its Inuyasha and he's still asleep. 'He must have woken up and placed me on his lap.' Smiling I place a kiss on his cheek at which point he slowly opens his beautiful amber eyes, 'he always looks so dreamy.' Still smiling I shift turning towards him and wrap my arms around his neck, "How are you feeling Inuyasha?" Instead of answering with the usual Feh he just points down at his stomach, and I notice that the bandage is turning red, "Oh Kami, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Inuyasha just shrugged without saying a word, which was really unlike him. Standing up I get the first aid kit and walk over to Inuyasha who is laying down and I can see how much it hurts him to move in his eyes. 'If only I wasn't so weak then maybe Inuyasha wouldn't have been hurt.' Shaking those thoughts out of my head I move over to Inuyasha and begin peeling off the bandage, the last time I had done this I hadn't noticed how toned his chest was and how good he looked because of the blood but now I sat there staring at his chest, almost drooling, 'wow now that is one hot body.' Hearing Inuyasha cough I looked at him to see his face was bright red and knew that he had caught me staring which caused me to turn an equal shade of red, 'oh man he caught me ogling his chest, stupid.' Ignoring Inuyasha's stare at me I began re bandaging all his wounds, which were healing pretty well. Suddenly I remembered that Miroku and Sango might have been injured and I looked around the cave for them but they were nowhere to be found, 'I wonder where they went.' I was so lost in thought I didn't even notice Inuyasha sit up and wrap his arms around me until I felt his lips pressed against mine which made all thoughts other than Inuyasha flee, 'Kami how does he do that.'

Inuyasha:

Noticing that Kagome was lost in thought I took full advantage of the situation seeing as in Sango, Miroku, and even the little runt were gone, 'I've been wanting to do this again for a while.' Smirking I sat up and wrapped my arms around Kagome's waist then pressed my lips against hers kissing her passionately, 'oh how I love the taste of her.' Licking her bottom lip I silently begged for entrance which she slowly allowed, not hesitating my tongue delves into her mouth and begins exploring every inch of it, leaning more into the kiss I begin to massage her tongue with mine and am surprised when she begins to do the same.

Kagome:

Feeling myself lost within the kiss I began caressing one of his ears while the other hand ran through his hair, suddenly Inuyasha pulls away from me, 'why did he stop?' Before I can ask why he stopped in walk Sango and Miroku followed my Shippo and Kirara, "Afternoon, finally ya'll two get up." Sango says smiling. "Why didn't ya'll just wake us up?" I say wondering why they let us sleep in. Miroku spoke up before Sango could, "Well ya'll looked so comfortable asleep like that that we didn't want to bother you," as soon as Miroku said that I took a sudden interest in the ground in front of me and I could literally feel my face turn red, 'They saw us sitting together like that? Oh man im so embarrassed, I wonder what Inuyasha thinks?' Sneaking a glance over to him I notice that his face is slightly red, "So what, she slept on my lap and I liked it, got a problem with that?" Inuyasha said staring at Miroku, I sat there stunned and was pretty sure everyone else was too, 'Did he just say he liked sleeping with me in his lap, I know he loves me and all but I didn't think he liked sleeping with me.' Not caring that anyone was looking I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him, "I like sleeping with you too Inuyasha," I laughed as Inuyasha's blush darkened, and realized a little too late what I had just implied, but before I could catch my mistake Miroku spoke up, "Wow I didn't know ya'll had gotten that far already?" This earned him a knock upside the head by Sango who dragged him out of the cave and Shippo being curious followed after giving me a quick hug. Kirara just yawned and curled up falling asleep. I just continued looking at Inuyasha who was slowly turning redder, "Um…I ah…" Inuyasha just silenced me with a kiss and then pulled me into his lap nuzzling my cheek 'I can't believe what I said, oh well at least Inuyasha is still here, and were alone again.'

Inuyasha:

After getting over the shock of what Kagome had accidentally implied I began thinking, 'I know that Kagome loves me, but would she…could she possibly want to be my mate? What are you talking about she is your mate. No she isn't not until she decides too and you better just shut up. After you claim her maybe I will but until then you're going to have to put up with me, besides if it weren't for me you wouldn't even be able to protect her. Just shut up. Then stop being a coward and claim her!' Sighing I look at Kagome and smile, 'its now or never.' Gathering all my courage I ask her the one question on my mind, "Kagome, will you be my mate?"

Just because I want to im going to leave it off there, I know its messed up that I am but I want some tension to build up. Please don't kill me for cutting it off there, I promise there's a good reason but you'll have to wait till the next chapter to find out why.
