LAST TIME……………

"What happened," Kagome asked still fluttering her eyelids.

"You passed out because you fell into the water," Inuyasha said with a slight grin on his face.

All that really happened, she thought. Inuyasha really likes me. Kagome thought of the only words which came to mind. "I really like you Inuyasha."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and kissed her full on the lips. "I love you so much Kagome. Will you marry me?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha wide eyed and fell in an instant.

Chapter Two: Will You Say I Do

Kagome awoke once again in Kaede's hut. She looked over in a corner where she saw a peaceful sleeping Inuyasha. She then looked down at her finger and saw what seemed to be a ring on her finger. Kagome stood up shocked as ever.

"I…I…I," Kagome stuttered.

She glanced again over at Inuyasha who was still sleeping in the corner. She contemplated on whether she should wake Inuyasha up and ask him about the ring. She stole another look at him, and then ran out of Kaede's hut.

Inuyasha yawned and wiped his eyes. Looking after Kagome is like a full time job for me, he thought.

Inuyasha looked over to see how Kagome was doing when he saw she had disappeared.

"Kagome," he yelled. Inuyasha ran outside and yelled again, "Kagome."

"Owwww," he yelled in pain.

Inuyasha looked down to see what he had stepped on, it was the ring he had given Kagome.

As he bent down to pick it up he heard a rustle in the distance.

"Kagome," he said. "Is that you?"

A female voice answered, "No, it is not."

Inuyasha walked toward the shadow of the woman. From what he could see she was very slender and had very long hair.

"Who…who, are you," he stuttered apprehensively.

"How could you forget me Inuyasha," said the voice.

"Kikyo, is that you," he asked.

"Of course," she said as she stepped out toward him.

"Kikyo, did you have something to do with Kagome disappearing! I swear if you did Kikyo, I…"

Kikyo interrupted him, "I had nothing to do with the disappearance of your beloved Kagome," she sneered as she walked toward him. "If you must know Kagome ran out of the hut and dropped the ring behind her.

"I've got to go find her," he said turning around.

Kikyo grabbed hold of Inuyasha's arm. "I know where you can find her," she said looking into his eyes.

Kagome lay in front of the portal crying wondering if she should go home. She knew her mother would be worried sick if she wasn't home soon, not to mention her grandfather might make up another crazy lie like the last time she stayed too long in the feudal era. She held the sacred jewel in her hand and thought back to when she first met Inuyasha.

It's your fault I'm in this situation, she thought as she held the jewel in her hand. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have gotten so close to Inuyasha.

Kagome heard a rustle in the bushes.

"Who's there," she asked.

"It's me Kagome," said Sango stepping out of the bush.

"Thank goodness," said Kagome as she stood up and flung herself toward Sango.

"What's wrong Kagome," she asked.

"It's not really that there's something wrong, it's just…ummm...just," she stuttered.

"What did Inuyasha do now," she said taking a seat on the ground.

"How do you know it was Inuyasha," she asked surprised.

"Kagome the only time I have ever seen you get this upset is when it has to do with Inuyasha. Now what happened?"

Kagome told Sango the whole story from start to finish.

"So what's wrong with him proposing? You should be happy. I've seen the way Inuyasha looks at you sometimes," said Sango.

"I don't know how you did it Sango," she replied.

"Did what," she asked.

"Marry Miroku, I mean the whole time I thought he was just a perverted monk, and just trying to get free feels. But then you two got married and everything changed."

Sango and Miroku had been married for almost a year, and after that Miroku completely changed his ways. Just for Sango.

"Well I guess it was just love that changed him Kagome, but you should be happy now. It's not every day a guy comes up to you and says he want your hand in marriage."

"I am happy. I'm actually really thrilled, it's just, I think Inuyasha only loves me because I'm the reincarnation of Kikyo," she said morosely.

"That's not true Kagome. Inuyasha loves You for You. Not because of a reincarnation. It's just…"

"No, Inuyasha doesn't love me, he loves Kikyo," she yelled.

"I am happy. I'm actually really thrilled, it's just, I think Inuyasha only loves me because I'm the reincarnation of Kikyo," she said morosely.

"That's not true Kagome. Inuyasha loves You for You. Not because of a reincarnation. It's just…"

"No, Inuyasha doesn't love me, he loves Kikyo," she yelled.

Inuyasha had been in the bushes with Kikyo listening.

He stepped out of the bush, "Kagome that's not true."

Kagome was startled.

Had Inuyasha been listening the whole time, she thought.

Kikyo walked out seconds later behind Inuyasha.

"What the hell is this," Kagome asked surprisingly.

Inuyasha turned around and looked at Kikyo.

He turned back around and said, "Kagome this is not what it looks like. I woke up in the hut and you weren't there so I went outside to look for you, and Kikyo was there and said she knew where to find you."

Inuyasha dug in his pocket for the ring and continued, "I found this on the ground when I walked outside."

Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, and took back the ring.

"Inuyasha, I…" she stammered.

"Kagome, why was the ring on the ground, when it should have been on your finger," he asked.

Kagome looked at the ring then Kikyo, and said, "This ring was never meant for me. The whole time it was meant for Kikyo. I guess I'm just supposed to believe that you walked out the hut and just happened to meet up with your former flame. "

Inuyasha yelled at her, "Kagome I asked you to marry me, not Kikyo. I love you."

Inuyasha bent down and asked," Kagome will you marry me."

Kagome felt the stares of Inuyasha, Sango, and Kikyo beginning to pierce her.

Finally she answered, "Inuyasha," she said.

"Yes Kagome," he said with wide eyes.

"I could never marry you…"
