Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…
Chapter 9
Kagome:
'Did he just say what I think he said?' Looking up at Inuyasha I see him looking at me with those amber eyes full of love and fear as well, 'he really does mean it, oh Kami I cant believe he does.' I just sat there stunned and noticed that Inuyasha was beginning to feel uncomfortable. "Inuyasha I would love to be your mate!" The moment those words left my lips Inuyasha's eyes filled with nothing but love, all traces of fear gone. Smiling I kiss him full on the lips expressing my love for him through the kiss.
Inuyasha:
'She said yes! I can't believe she said yes!' As soon as Kagome kissed me I felt her pour all her love into that kiss and I returned it, expressing everything I couldn't say with words. I was so lost in Kagome that I didn't even notice Shippo return, "Eww gross what are you doing to Kagome, Inuyasha?" Cursing the stupid runt for ruining the moment I just glared at him while Kagome took sudden interest in the wall.
Meanwhile:
Miroku:
After Sango had dragged me out of the cave she continued to do so till we were safely out of Inuyasha's hearing range, "Now why did you have to make that kind of a comment?" Sango asked, "That's exactly why Inuyasha doesn't open up to us much, because you keep nagging him about it later." I knew Sango was right but it was rare that Inuyasha ever seemed nice and I truly was glad that he and Kagome had finally admitted their feelings for one another but I had to have a little fun when I could, "ah well my fair Sango now that Inuyasha and Kagome have admitted their feelings I would like to tell you something myself." Sango seemed to go from angry to calm to shocked all within a second; laughing inwardly I waited to see what would happen.
Sango:
As soon as Miroku said that there was something he wanted to tell me I felt all the anger in me flee then when I heard him mention Inuyasha and Kagome I felt an uneasiness and excitement all at once, 'could he possible want to tell me that he loved me? Or is it that he wants to tell me that he loves someone else?' I shook the thoughts out of my head and waited for Miroku to continue, after waiting for a few moments with him not saying anything I looked at him, "Well?" Miroku nodded and walks towards me standing right before me and grabs my hand, "Lady Sango I love you and I want to spend my life with you," 'Oh Kami I cant believe what he just said, he loves me but also wishes to spend his life with me!' I could feel my face getting redder and redder by the second, and I could also see Miroku looking into my eyes waiting for my answer. "Oh Miroku, I love you too," Miroku sighed in relief and stood smiling. Without warning though he closed the gap between us and pressed his lips against mine, at first I tensed up then relaxed. He was licking my bottom lip with his tongue for entrance but I wasn't going to give it to him, instead I snaked my tongue out and slid it into his mouth, smirking into the kiss as I felt Miroku shudder. I didn't even notice Shippo who just sneaked away, back towards the cave.
Back at the Cave:
Inuyasha:
"Damnit Shippo what do you want?" I tried to stand up to go hit him but forgot about the injuries and fell back down, the one in my stomach was going to take another day or two to heal, 'man I hate feeling weak.' As I tried to stand up again I noticed Shippo flinch at my pain, 'what's up with the runt? Why is he flinching when he sees me in pain?' Before I got up all the way Kagome placed a hand on my shoulder and looked at me pleading with her eyes to just lay back down, nodding I did so, but looked at Shippo. As I began thinking I suddenly heard Shippo speak up, "So are ya'll going to be together now?" I looked at the runt and was about to say something mean but stopped, in the runts eyes I saw a small glimpse of something that was fragile, so instead I just nodded my head. I was suddenly surprised when Shippo ran over to me and hugged me, "so does that mean you get to be my dad seeing as Kagome was more or less my mom?" I sat there looking at Kagome, who was as shocked as I, 'he's thinking of me as a dad?' I looked down at Shippo and just smiled, then nodded. He looked so happy I couldn't refuse it; I just simply hugged him and smiled when I saw Kagome smile out of the corner of my eye.
Kagome:
I was shocked when Inuyasha simply said that we were going to be together but was more shocked when Inuyasha just smiled at the thought of being Shippo's father. As Inuyasha hugged him I just began smiling, 'I knew he was just a big softie, that's why I loved him.' Without saying anything I scooted over to Inuyasha and lifted his head onto my lap rubbing his ear as Shippo curled up on his chest and a bit into his haori falling asleep, Inuyasha just closed his eyes and I could faintly hear a sort of purring sound, I looked down at his face to see him smiling. 'I knew he liked me rubbing his ears, heh he looks so peaceful like that right now, I wish this could last forever.' As I began thinking that I suddenly felt sleepy so I leaned my head against the wall and closed my eyes falling into a deep and wonderful sleep.
Sango:
After Miroku and I had finished making out we returned to the cave to find Inuyasha asleep with his head on Kagome's lap and her leaning against a wall while Shippo seemed to be curled up on Inuyasha's chest, sort of in his haori. 'They all look so happy, even Shippo; I knew he had taken a liking to Inuyasha.' I was suddenly interrupted from my thoughts when a certain monk placed his hand on my butt, not wanting to disturbed the scene in front of me I removed his hand and as calmly as I could walked over to a corner and sat down, glaring daggers at him.
Miroku:
Seeing Sango standing there I couldn't contain myself from placing a hand on her rear, I was fully prepared for a slap but was shocked when she simply removed my hand and walked over to a corner in the cave then saw her glare daggers at me, 'I guess I shouldn't have done that.' I was about to walk over to her when I noticed the scene before me, 'Inuyasha looks so peaceful with Kagome and Shippo, no wonder Sango didn't slap me, I guess im in for it later though oh well it was worth it.' Sighing I walk over to Sango and sit in front of her, and whisper, "Im sorry, I wont do it again my dear Sango unless you wish me to." She relaxed some and patted the ground beside her, grinning I scooted over to her side and smiled when she placed her head on my shoulder and began falling asleep, the last thought I had before I went into a blissful sleep was when Sango would want to get married.
Well there you have it, Miroku and Sango finally admitted to each other how they felt, Shippo is going to have two new parents, and it looks like Kagome has decided to be Inuyasha's mate, but can she be? What will happen to her, will she become a half demon like Inuyasha, or maybe Inuyasha will turn human? Or could something even weirder happen, find out in the coming chapters.
