Disclaimer: If you don't know, I do not own Inuyasha or any of it's characters

Okay!!! I don't know what happened to me but I was kind of grumpy and sane the last time I wrote and all my insanity, which is my ability to write, was on vacation so I wrote a crappy ending to an otherwise good story. I had a couple of complaints, maybe like two or three, but that was enough for me!! If I have even 1 unhappy reader we must redo!!! So my insanity, and happiness:D, is back and I plan on coming out swinging by re-writing this chapter and continuing the story so it doesn't suck!!!!:D!!! And for you who already read it, it has a new ending in this chapter so read that and I will proceed to write a new chapter after posting this:D!!

Kiss

She waited.

She waited for him to return for days and barely slept at all because of it. But he never came back.

The nights were hers alone now and the days were long and empty. No more invisible servants tended to her. No more food, no more water and the fountain in the middle of the courtyard stopped working. That was what led her to finally leave.

Hunger and near dehydration forced her to abandon her mountain.

When he disappeared all of his gifts, her clothes her shoes and her jewels, were taken with him. So she left the mountain in what she came in, climbing down the cliff face alone and dejected.

But she just couldn't stay anymore. The walk back, the slow journey down with the weight of her lost love heavy on her shoulders, was much longer than the climb up where the weight of her village had rested on her back.

"Kagome!"

She looked up surprised. There were people running toward her, her village. How had she gotten down the mountain so fast? She turned and looked up at the lonely temple perched delicately on the mountain face.

It blurred when the tears came to her eyes.

Her breath hitched and she dropped to her knees as the full weight of her sorrow landed on her.

"Kagome!"

"Kagome!"

"Kagome!"

Keade walked forward and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Kagome, what happened to ye, child?"

"Oh, Keade..." Kagome said with a tear filled voice.

"Mother, let me off this mountain, now!" Inuyasha screamed causing the walls of the godly palace to shake.

"No." she said stubbornly her arms crossed in front of her chest.

She had stolen him away, snatched him from the arms of his beloved, and forced him to come back to the gods palace on Mt. Shikon.

"I can't believe you lied to me." she said for what must have been the thousandth time. "All the while you were sneaking off to that...that...mortal hussy..."

"Don't call her that!" Inuyasha roared his blood boiling. "You don't even know her!"

"She is mortal, what is there to know?" Izayoi cried. "I will not have my sons heart broken because he was careless enough to give it to some one who would only break it."

"She would never do that!" he growled. "Kagome's a great woman!"

"They all look great at first but there is no mortal that is not greedy and selfish and...."

"Shut up!" Inuyasha cried making his mother gasp. "She's not like that! Kagome is the most selfless and most kind person I have ever met."

"Inuyasha!" Izayoi said holding a hand to her chest. "How dare you speak to me like that?"

"How dare you keep me prisoner on this mountain!?" he cried back.

"It's for your own good!" she said firmly.

"Hey now, what's with all the noise? You two are practically shaking the entire mountain."

A large man with battle armor walked into the room. His hair was silver like his son's but he had two purple slashed on each cheek. Inutaisho, the Great Dog God.

"Father." Inuyasha nodded at him in greeting but his voice was raw from all his yelling.

"Now what is going on here?" he asked.

"She has imprisoned me here!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Imprisoned?" Inutaisho repeated. "Darling, why would you do that?"

"He went down into the mortal world!" she said.

"So?" Inutaisho shrugged. "I do it all the time."

"I will not have my son around...mortals." she shivered.

"She stole me away!" Inuyasha jumped in. "She took me from the one I love!"

"Love?" Inutaisho raised an eyebrow. "You said love?"

"He thinks he has fallen for a mortal." Izayoi sniffed.

"Look into my heart mother!" Inuyasha said desperately. "You are the Goddess of Love. Look into my heart and tell me what I feel is not love! For if this powerful feeling is not then I will never know love when if do feel it."

"I. Will. Not!" she said through gritted teeth, her body shaking.

"Darling." Inutaisho said quietly putting his hand on her shoulder.

"No!" she shrugged it off. "I will not have him at the mercy of....of....AH!" she threw up her hands and stormed out.

There was silence for a moment before Inutaisho turned to his son. "Forgive your mother." he said. "She means well."

Inuyasha's body was shaking as well and his fists were clenched in anger. "How could she do this to me? How could she take away the one person that means more to me than anything? How can the goddess of love deny love to her own son?"

Inutaisho took a breath. "Your mother...Well..." he dragged his hand through his hair. "Your mother doesn't trust mortals."

"Why not?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well..." Inutaisho walked into his son's room and sat on his bed. "A long time ago...she was mortal."

"What?" Of all the things he had expected to hear, that was not one of them. "Mother couldn't have been a mortal."

"She was." Inutaisho nodded. "I fell in love with her and I kissed her and gave her godhood."

Inuyasha walked over to his bed and dropped onto it as his knees gave out. "A mortal..."

"Yeah. She was a member of a group of women who used their beauty to control the hearts of men."

"What?" Inuyasha repeated.

"Yeah. Your mother was the best at it. There was no man who didn't fall for her the second he laid eyes on her. And I was no exception. I saw her one morning picking wildflowers. She was going to weave them into a crown to place upon her head. I couldn't help myself. I landed at her feet and told her what I felt.

"She wasn't surprised that men fell for her or confessed their feelings, they did so all the time. But I was the first god to do so. That was probably what gave me an advantage over the other suitors. My godhood. I went to her everyday and lavished her in gifts and a love so pure I thought it would burn a hole right through my heart. 'Surely,' I thought to myself, 'I cannot be immortal for one word from this woman could kill me'.

"But, as time went by she began to love me in return and it changed her. She was no longer the woman who controlled the hearts of men through beauty and guile. She had no need of such things anymore. She became sweet and gentle and when I gave her godhood she became the goddess of love.

"However she still hasn't forgotten her beginnings. She still remembers the cold-hearted women she knew and she thinks, to some degree, that all women are like her." Inutaisho placed his hand on his Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Go to your woman, Inuyasha, and bring her here. We'll prove to your mother how wrong she was about her."

Inuyasha looked confused. "But, father, only god's can come onto Mt. Shikon."

Inutaisho raised his eyebrow. "I know."

"Here dear." Keade handed Kagome a bowl of soup.

"Thank you." she said quietly and drank it slowly.

"I'm sorry for your loss, child." Keade said sitting down next to her.

"It was my fault." Kagome said looking into her bowl as if the secrets of the world were etched into the bottom. "I should have listened to him."

"From what you described of him," Keade said, "and from the memory I have of the god that spoke to me, I would say that that was Inuyasha."

"God of earth and water." Kagome nodded.

"We owe him many thanks." Keade said looking at the bowl. "A month ago that stew wouldn't be here."

"He's amazing." Kagome said sadly looking into the bowl of food that Inuyasha had provided her village. It was like being taken care of by him again. Suddenly she was ravenous and drank the soup greedily.

Keade smiled. "Perhaps..."

"Kagome!" Ami ran in breathing hard.

"Ami, what's wrong?" Kagome asked running to her side.

"There's some one....huff...some one...puff..." she pointed outside the hut and Kagome ran out wondering what was wrong.

She gasped and stopped when she saw.

They surrounded him and whispered in fascination.

But he saw right through them all and he smiled as he looked into her eyes.

Kagome's breath hitched and her eyes shined with tears as she saw the face she loved so dearly, the face she had only seen once.

"Inuyasha!" she ran through the crowd and into his open arms.

"Sorry, I'm early." He said smiling down at her.

"What?" she said with a smile on her face so wide her cheeks hurt.

"It's mid-day." he pointed up at the sky. "I'm early."

Kagome laughed and shook her head.

"Kagome, marry me." Inuyasha said. "Let me take you home and take care of you. Let me love you forever. Marry me."

Kagome smiled and noticed how he stated and didn't ask. She loved that about him.

"Of course." she said happily.

He smirked and pulled her up and crashed his lips against hers.

Without hesitation, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him back just as enthusiastically.

Her face felt hot, and it was spreading. The heat spread throughout her limbs and wrapped her a coccoon of warmth and love and it was tied together by his arms caressing her back as he pulled her up to get better access to her mouth.

Wait. Was the warmth supposed to be that hot?
