Chapter 12

Kagome stood on a balcony overlooking the Western Lands. She was wearing a soft blue dress that had bell sleeves and a v line waist, the blue silk fell to the ground. The air blowing her raven locks in the wind. She was filled with worry, she had not heard anything from Steve, Natasha, Sam, or anyone for hours. She looked down at the rose in her hands.

"My lady?'' A servant asked behind her. She turned around to face the servant curiously. The news he brought caused her to drop the rose in horror.

"Steve," she whispered in shock. "Prepare my transport immediately," she ordered running out of the room. She ran to the hanger, where Shippo and Sesshomaru waited for her.

"Mama?" Shippo asked, concern evident in his tone. He had grown close to the Captain this past year. They had gone to Coney Island, missions, and he introduced Steve to video games.

"He is unconscious, they found him on the bay of a river" she notified him. She looked to Sesshomaru dead in the eyes. "S.H.I.E.L.D. is finished," she stated firmly. Sesshomaru nodded in agreement and a signal to her. That she was permitted to go to Steve now. She smiled brightly with tears in her eyes. She went up and hugged the icy Lord, which he returned briefly.

"Thank you, Brother," she whispered. Before she released him from the hug. "Coming Ship?" she asked him curiously. Shippo nodded and followed her onto the transport.

A few hours later they landed in Washington and were driving to the hospital.

"Sam!? She called spotting him at a vending machine. "Where is he?" she asked desperately. Sam looked down to the fluster female, before glancing at a glamoured Shippo behind her.

"This way," he said, guiding her to his room. "I am Sam by the way," Sam introduced himself.

"Shippo," Shippo smiled following his mother closely.

They soon enter the hospital room, where Steve was still unconscious.

"Steve, Koi," she whispered close to tears. She went straight to his bedside and held his hand in hers. Sam moved to sit on his other side, Shippo taking the seat behind Kagome. She held his hand to her forehead. Sam though began playing music on his phone.

"Kag… Kagome?" Steve called out waking up. He grogerly opened his eyes, flinching a bit at the brightness of the room.

"Steve," Kagome cried out in joy. They had been sitting there for a few hours now. Shippo had fallen asleep in his seat. He shot up at the cry of his mother's relieved voice. Steve turned his head toward Kagome, coming to Kagome bawling her eyes out. She had a smile as she cried tears of relief.

"Good to have you back," Sam smiled relieved.

"Yeah, you had us worried, especially Mama," Shippo chastised the Captain.

"Mama?" Sam asked, confused. Kagome giggled at Sam's confused face. Steve looked to him with a soft smile upon his face.

"It's a bit complicated," Steve smiled warmly to his friend.

"Well then, Shippo you can explain it to me, while we go to grab some coffee," Sam said smiling heading to the door. Dragging Shippo out by his collar with him.

"But I don't want to go, I want to talk to Steve and," they heard Shippo's objections, getting farther away as time went on. Kagome and Steve couldn't help but laugh at the comical sight they must make going down the hall.

"Oh Kagome," Steve sighed reaching out his hand cupping her tear-stained cheek.

"I was so worried," she whispered, leaning into his hand gently. "What happened?" she asked softly. Steve then began telling her about them taking down the Hellocarriers and his fight with Bucky. Kagome was not happy about how close he came to dying on her. But she understood the life they lead is a deadly one.

"You think you got through to him?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Yeah, how else would you explain him pulling me out of the river?" he asked curiously.

"I don't know Koi, I don't know," she whispered. Steve smiled at her softly. Kagome returned the smile with one of her own. She then turned her back to him to stretch a bit.

Steve got a mischievous look in his eyes, something he got from spending time with Shippo. He reached forward and yanked Kagome backward onto the bed. She gasped out in surprise, till she found herself on the hospital bed facing Steve. She merely blushed before giggling uncontrollably. Steve couldn't help but join in her fit of laughter.

"That was unexpected," she giggled. She moved to lay her head upon his chest. He moved his arm below her to hold her close to his chest.

"What can I say? Your Kitsune son is rubbing off onto me," he chuckled laying his chin upon the top of her head. Kagome giggled lightly snuggling closer to him.

"Are you sure you are ok?" Kagome asked softly.

"Yeah," he sighed, breathing in her scent. "Even more now," he sighed. The couple fell asleep in that position and were still there asleep when Shippo and Sam returned.

Shippo had explained his Mama's tale, and how they were related. Sam was for the better term shocked to silence. Though when they return to Kagome cuddled up to Steve, and him holding her tightly, asleep they couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. While Shippo took a picture of the scene, planning to use it as blackmail to get out of any trouble he may get into, for later.

A few weeks later, Kagome and Steve had dealt with the aftershock of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s destruction. They had not much time alone together. Kagome stood on the Lincoln Memorial, watching as the sun rose in the distance.

"Kagome?" Steve asked curiously. He had been with Nick a few minutes ago. They had parted ways, him heading to Europe. Sam was dropped off at his apartment, with the file on Bucky.

"Hey Koi," she smiled looking over her shoulder. She stood up and walked the few steps up to him. "Sorry, just need a minute to breathe," she sighed. "So why did you want me to meet you here?" she asked curiously. Steve's throat suddenly became dry. He had his hands in his leather jacket, fiddling with the ring he had held onto this whole time.

"Well," he stuttered. 'Come on Rodgers, you have faced armies of both Human and Alien alike. You can ask her to marry you,' he mentally cheered himself on. Unknown to the couple, Shippo was hiding behind one of the pillars with a video camera pointed to the couple.

"Everything ok?" she asked, concern plastered on her face.

"Yes," he said sheepishly and quickly. 'I feel like when I was before the Serum,' he mentally freaked. He took a deep calming breath. "Ever since I first met you, I thought you were the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Then in Germany, when I saw you fight Loki, I could not get over how in awe and attracted I was to you as you fought," he confessed. "Then when you said yes to going out on a date with me I was over the moon," he confessed nervously.

"Steve, what?" Kagome asked curiously and confused.

"Please let me finish," he said, blushing slightly. "Over the the past year we have been together, I have been falling more and more in love with you every day. your bravery, kindness, brains, beauty, your temper, and your uncanny way of always knowing when there is an issue. You became my partner, my equal in everything that is me. You push me to be better, smarter, less reckless, and stronger as time passes by. I may not know much about the world I was thrust into," he said getting down on one knee. Kagome gasped in shock, her hand covering her mouth. "But I know for a fact, that I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he said reaching into his pocket. "Will you do me the honor of marrying me?" he asked, offering the ring up to her. Kagome was crying tears of joy at this point, and overcome with love and joy.

"Yes," she cried out jumping onto him. He cried out in surprise being thrown back onto his back. "Yes, of course, I will marry you," she cried out in joy. Steve's eyes widened in surprise, then he began crying too, hugging her close to him.

"Thank you," he cried into her shoulder. Soon they pulled back, both their tears dried up, and Steve placed the simple, yet gorgeous engagement ring on her finger. Kagome beamed at the sight of it and looked up to him.

"I love you," she confessed as she kneeled before him.

"I love you too," he whispered, pulling her into a sweet, deep kiss.

Shippo all the while was videotaping the entire event and was cheering in joy silently. He was so happy for his Mama, she was finally going to have love. A love that would never two times her, accept her, protect her, and support her. He could not be happier at that moment for her.

Later….

"Hello?" Pepper answered curiously over the phone. She was laying on the couch snuggling into Tony. "Kagome?" she asked happily. Tony looked down at his girlfriend with a confused expression.

'Why was Kagome calling Pepper and not him?' he mentally wondered.

"OH MY GOD, REALLY!" Pepper squealed getting up. "CONGRATULATIONS!" she squealed. "oh my, we are going to need to plan an announcement party," she continued gushing. "Sure, I will tell him," she smiled, turning to a confused Tony. "Alright Sweetie, I love you too," Pepper smiled before hanging up.

"So, what has happened that is so great to my Little Princess?" Tony asked curiously. Pepper merely smiled warmly at him.

"THE CAPTAIN DID WHAT?" you could hear Tony yelled out in rage from a distance.
