The next morning, Kagome woke up to the feeling of her hair being stroked ever so gently. She sighed in contentment, who would have thought that she, Kagome Higurashi would have given herself to someone she's only known for close to two months. Then again, it was to a devastatingly handsome half-demon that makes her weak-kneed every time she's around him. Not to mention she had never met anyone like him before, strong and loving. How could she not give all of herself to him? Every part of her belonged to him now and she wouldn't have it any other way.

InuYasha was having similar thoughts as he looked down at his beautiful mate. He was so used to the mean remarks and cruelty from others, and then God sent him an angel. The very angel that lay in his arms now; sweet, kind and loving, everything any man would die to have. InuYasha held her a little tighter as the thought of any man trying to take her away began to frighten him. Kagome was his and no one elses!

Said girl looked up and smiled, bringing a delicate hand up to caress his cheek. InuYasha looked down again and smirked, love shining brightly in his eyes. "So how'd you sleep?"

Kagome smiled mischievously, "well I slept fine…except there seemed to be this insistent poking all night."

InuYash chuckled and pulled her closer so she could feel the 'poking again'. Kagome giggled and looked at the time.

Her eyes widened, "InuYasha! We're gonna be late for school!"

She jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom, ready to take a quick shower. InuYasha followed close behind and joined her inside. After one rough and passionate quicky went back into Kagome's room and got dressed.

They walked slowly down the stairs, ready for her mom to freak out. Kagome's mother looked up and smiled before what she was looking at finally registered. Then the shock came, "what does this mean?" her voice was smalll and soft, almost to scared to speak.

Kagome stepped forward and looked her straight in the eyes, "it means we're mates. InuYasha and I are bonded together now…forever."

Kagome's mom looked at them both closely and surprised them both when she ran up to them and gave them both a huge hug.

"aaaahhhh this is wonderful! You two make such a perfect match! I'm gonna have puppy-eared grand-babies!"

InuYasha looked at Kagome and slowly shook his head, Kagome knew what he was saying 'no babies for a while'. she nodded her agreement.

When her mother finally let them go, Inuyasha grabbed her up, placed her on his back and raced her to school. Kagome was having the time of her life as she held onto her Hanyou, the air whipping through her hair, everything around her made her feel more alive than ever before. She leaned down and kissed InuYasha's neck, hearing him moan from the sudden moist contact.

Once they got to the school, no one looked their way, except for the demons that could tell they'd mated. InuYasha put a possessive arm around her waist and walked proudly into the school with his love smiling the whole time. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

First period for Kagome was much better than the other time, she guess it was because the demons told the others not to mess with them. InuYasha explained to her before they left that if anyone bothered her it would be his duty, no his honor to defend her. So they would be utterly stupid to try anything.

For InuYasha however, he was bestowed with the normal sneers and disgusted looks. Honestly though, he could give a shit less because he knew how jealous they were of him. Koga, who he knew really wasn't going to get suspended, came up and raked him with the meanest look he'd ever gotten and sat down in front of him.

"I hate you so much you stinking mutt."

InuYasha smirked and leaned in close, "I have the most beautiful amazing mate so I could care less what you or anyone else thinks of me, you sorry excuse for a wolf."

That last comment almost gave him a black eye, but InuYasha was too fast for him and avoided it in one move. Koga walked away, trying to think of a plan to release Kagome from the bonds of mating.

Little did they both know that someone watched them from the top of the benches. He looked down at his drawing, a decapitated InuYasha. He will kill that half demon and take Kagome for his own.
