QueenRelen: ON WITH THE STORY, now where is that servant, serVANT, serVANT

Servant :( interrupts QueenRelen's tirade), yes my queen

QueenRelen: Finish reading the story servant, my potential husbands are going to be here any time now.

Servant: mutters "before you do that you should think about investing in a tick tack":

QueenRelen: What was that?

Servant: Oh nothing you r majesty just the prattling of a mere commoner

QueenRelen: You commoners should really get that checked (servant rolls eyes), anyway ON WITH THE STORY (servant winches)

As Koga stared at my baby, no "our" baby, this overwhelming felling of warmth washed over me, like I was finally whole, and in that moment between Kouga's tears and my confirmation I knew what I would have to do.

"Kouga" Kagome whispered, one half wanting him to hear, the other wary, But of course Kouga's demon ears picked up her dim whisper and looked up expectantly.

"Kouga" Kagome repeated, will you marry me?

Kouga looked puzzled for a minute, then something seemed to click in his brain, and this huge "Wolf" grin spread across his face.

Kagome you want to be my mate? By now his smile was threatening to consume his face

Yes kouga, I want to be your mate. Suddenly Kouga went very still, quietly handed the baby back, and ran to the door threw it open and yelled, to what had to be the top of his lungs, HEY MUTT FACE, GUESS WHAT KAGOMES MY WOMAN NOW, SO YOU CAN GO BACK TO THAT COLD SACK OF BONES YOU CALL A WOMON.

With that said Kouga slammed the door shut with a satisfied smile and turned around to face Kagome and his new born pup.

Umm, er Kouga, when do you think I'll go live with you? An insanely happy expression crossed the wolf demon's face,

Kagome was wondering what he could be thinking, when all of a sudden his arms encircled her and he gently picked her up, bridal style, the baby still in her arms, and without a moments hesitation burst through Kaede's door.

I briefly saw a flash of silver and a yell, before all was a blur of green vegetation. Then I suddenly realized I didn't even say goodbye to all the people I had met when searching for the Shikon Jewel, I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to "him".

All of a sudden there was a complete stop, and Kouga gently set both his woman and the pup down.

I can't believe the baby didn't fall off kagome breathed,

you shouldn't have even worried Kagome, I would never have let my son go. Kagome wondered if he meant fall but let it go.

So uhh Kouga, where are we exactly?

At the go between, he replied in a "isn't if obvious" tone.

Kouga maybe we should go back, I mean we don't have anything to eat, and we don't have covers or.. Kagome was cut off by Kouga's lips pressed against hers. She didn't know if one should be happy or mad, because of the obvious attempt to shut her up, but the first won out as she leaned into his embrace determined to forget about "him".

They were interrupted by the sound of crying. Kouga quickly broke the kiss and reached down and held his child.

Kagome took this opportunity to look at the two of them together, he was a natural father, gently rocking the babe to sleep.

Kouga, what should we name him, I mean we cant keep calling him, "him" forever.

He looked down thoughtfully at the bundle in his arms and noticed the red cloth around him.

He shall be called, "Yoshi"

Yoshi, Kagome repeated in wonder

One day you will love me Kagome.

The answer was left in silence.
