"Where have you two been?" Shippo asked.
"We went for a walk." Kagome said as she sat down.
"What's it to you Shippo?" Inu Yasha said as he sat down with his back against the wall.
"Sorry I asked," Shippo said as he hid behind Kagome. When he knew it was safe, he slowly came out from behind her and sat next to Sango. Kagome moved back so that her back was against the wall. She pulled her knees toward her chest and laid her head on her knees and went to sleep. Inu Yasha stood up and walked outside.
"Where are you going Inu Yasha?" Sango asked as she lay down on the floor to fall asleep.
"I'm going outside to keep watch." He exited the house and sat by the front door. Miroku laid down next to Sango. Shippo saw this and headed out the door to watch for danger with Inu Yasha. He walked out the door and sat on the opposite side of the door as Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha noticed him but didn't say anything. Inu Yasha's ear twitched and he saw the Kagome shivering.
"Shippo do me a favor and go keep Kagome warm." Shippo did as he was told and covered Kagome with a blanket and laid next to her. Kagome laid down on the floor and pulled the blanket up. She wished that Inu Yasha was here next to her but she could deal with Shippo for now. Inu Yasha wished that he was next to her but didn't want to go against her wishes. She woke later and left Shippo sleeping. She went out and sat next to Inu Yasha.
"I'll tell them in the morning because I can't handle not being around you."
"I know how you feel." She moved closer and rested her head on his shoulder. He took the top of his robe off and wrapped it around her and they both fell asleep. She woke the next morning still in his arms and his robe was still wrapped around her. He woke feeling her move.
"Come on Inu Yasha we might as well get this over with now." They walked in the house and everyone was already awake.
"Everyone I am only going to say this once Inu Yasha and I are dating."
"Good job Kagome." Sango stood up and gave her a hug.
Knowing that it would make Inu Yasha happy Kagome went into the bathroom and changed into her kimono. She returned to the main room and then her and Inu Yasha left again. Kagome took them to a cave just on the other side of the woods from the village.
"Why are we going here?"
"I just wanted to get away from everyone."
"Okay um Kagome what are you going to tell your mom."
"I'll just tell her the truth."
"Do you want to go see her?"
"I guess I should tell her."
"Well let's go."
"Ok but I need to stop by Kaede's House first so I can change." He helps her up and then they start heading back to the village. She quickly grabbed her clothes and changed in the bathroom.
"We are going to Kagome's time to tell her mom about us I don't know when we'll be back."
"Ok Inu Yasha I'm ready to go we'll see you guys later." The two of them climb into the well and appear in the well in her time. Kagome climbed on Inu Yasha's back and he jumped out of the well. They stepped out on to the shrine yard.
"Ready?"
"Yeah are you ready?"
"Yeah." Kagome walked into the house. She took off her shoes and stepped in. Inu Yasha wiped his feet on the rug and walked into the house behind her.
"Mom, Souta, Grandpa, are you here."
"We're in here Kagome." She walked into the dining and saw her family getting ready to eat.
"You two are just in time for supper." Her mom was starting to stand.
"I'll get the plates mom don't worry about." Her mom sat back down. Her and Inu Yasha went into the kitchen and she fixed their plates from the food that was sitting on the counter.
"When do you plan on telling them?" Inu Yasha asked as he walked up to her.
"I'll tell them soon." She took the two plates of food out to the dining room table and the two of them sat down. Everyone started to eat and Inu Yasha slowly started eating but didn't get to eat very long because about half way through dinner Kagome stood up.
"Mom Inu Yasha and I are dating." He took a deep breath in the fear of rejection.
"Good for you sweetheart."
"Thanks mom." They finished eating. Kagome, with the help of Inu Yasha, took all of the dishes to the kitchen and washed them. When they finished washing them, the two of them returned to the dining room.
"Mom, Inu Yasha and I are going up to my room now."
"Ok sweetie." Kagome lead the way up the stairs to her room. They both sit down on her bed.
"Where am I sleeping?"
"There's plenty of room in my bed for the both of us."
"Okay." He blushed a little. She got up and grabbed a pair of pajamas out of her drawer and took them into the bathroom with her. She changed into them and brushed her teeth. When she returned, he was still sitting on the bed and turned to look at her. He blushed again. She snuggled up against him and tried to keep her eyes open but was having trouble accomplishing it.
"Go to sleep Kagome."
"Ok Inu Yasha I will." Kagome closed her eyes and fell asleep. He laid her down in the bed. He sat on the floor next to the bed. She said his name quietly and patted a spot on the bed for him. He got into the bed with her and put his arms around her.
Well that's all for this chapter
