Love and hate

Chapter 2

The next morning Inuyasha woke up before Kagome and he looked down at her peaceful face and then he remembered the night before. He immediately became happy that she agreed to become his mate. But he then remembered one important step in claiming a mate.

Kagome stirred a bit she could feel the warmth her hanyou gave off on her bare arms, shoulders and parts of her torso that she snuggled further into his chest. Inuyasha chuckled at her causing her to open her eyes.

"Good morning Inuyasha how did you sleep last night" Kagome asked rubbing the sleep from her eyes making her look like a kid just waking up early in the morning. Inuyasha blush thinking how cute she was but smiled sweetly at her.

"Good my love but last night when you said you would become my mate there was something I forgot about claiming and having potential mates" Inuyasha said confusing Kagome and she cocked her head to the side.

"What is it Inuyasha that you forgot" Kagome asked. Inuyasha smiled and rubbed her back with a rough hand.

"Well when a demon or hanyou is courting a female they have a courting mark and also they marked them with the males scent to warn off other males the female is taken by another the courting can last 6 months or less depends if the female is ready to mate" Inuyasha explained.

"Oh I get it you want to mark me to warn other demons off with you're scent by why the need to mark me as well" Kagome asked acting like a curious little girl. Inuyasha chuckled at her curiosity that was one thing he liked about her.

"Well to tell humans also the female is being courted, also it's tell of the males intension in the future, the male can only be faithful to that simple female Inu's mate for life, also the courting is like an engagement as humans call it and the courting include in grooming each other, gifts from the male, pleasures of any kind, and getting to know the male more" Inuyasha said. Kagome blushed at what pleasures they could go for each other.

"Can other males try to take me even against my will" Kagome said a little fear in her beautiful brown eyes and Inuyasha hugged her against his chest.

"No once courted it is a dead end for other males and once mated not even death could separate us if one mate were to die then the other follows no matter the problem because without their love ones they have no will or reason to live" Inuyasha said calming her fear within seconds.

"Well when you have to put the courting mark on will it hurt" Kagome said concern. Inuyasha kissed her on the lips shaking his head.

"Don't worry it won't hurt I promise" Inuyasha whispered to her before lowering his head to her neck. She was wearing the tank top he loved so much, giving him the room he needed as he sucked on her pulse point causing her to moan. By using the tip of his fang he painlessly scraped several layers of skin, and it slowly turned into a red moon; the sign of his family

Kagome then started to feel a little strange. Her eyes sight felt more powerful, her sense of smell changed drastically, her hearing was twice as powerful and looked to Inuyasha with confusion and Inuyasha knew why she was confused.

"The courting mark gives the female if she is human more inhuman sense like the male so they could match in senses and also I heard of this happening open your mind to me" Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded and opened her mind to him.

She gasped when she felt his aura and essence inside her mind and it was comforting healing her of any pain she felt and she sighed in contentment.

"See if the female were to be in pain, confuse, sad and unhappy the male could enter the females mind with his essence and aura to comfort her when the male is not around" Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled knowing she would never be unhappy and hugged him.

"I love you Inuyasha" Kagome said for the first time.

"I… love you to" Inuyasha said as they laid back on the bed since Kagome's family was still asleep. Kagome kissed his chest ever once in a while and decided to ask after 30 minutes.

"Hey Inuyasha after breakfast you want to go out for the whole day with me and go shopping and other stuff" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked down at her.

"Yes sure it would have us alone for the day without anyone bothering us that's fine with me" Inuyasha said huskily. Kagome giggled before getting up.

'Well I'm going to get changed in the bathroom" Kagome said hiding a smirk planning a devious outfit that would tease the crap out. After kissing a smirking half demon on the cheek she took her chosen outfit she chose when Inuyasha was lost in his thoughts.

Kagome came in minutes later wearing a baby blue halter top shirt that hugged her chest and breast and coal black jeans that hugged every curve on her waist and legs that had the hanyou drooling.

Kagome smirked and went up to him and touched his chest with her soft hands and Inuyasha's muscles rippled under her touched. Inuyasha looked up at her to find some clothing in her hands.

"Here how about you get changed as well if you want to go out today my mother and me brought these for you the last time I was here for studying and resupplying. Inuyasha smirked and grabbed the clothes.

After Inuyasha left the room Kagome decided to put a little makeup on. She put on red mascara, a little but barely any eye liner, glossy vanilla flavor lip gloss. Kagome then grabbed her wallet type purse and cell phone which of a was a Samsung touch screen with a key board.

5 minutes later Inuyasha walked back in and Kagome's breath hitched when she caught the sight of his outfit. Inuyasha was wearing a rosy red tee shirt that went to his butt, black jeans that hugged his waist and brown flip flops. He had a black bandana on his head to cover his dog ears that went well with his sliver white hair.

Inuyasha smirked when his female just stood there and ogling eyeing him but he did notice the stuff on her face and it did look pretty hot on her. Inuyasha was about to walk up to when Kagome's mother called from down stairs.

"Kagome your uncle Hakito is here to see you real quick" Hitomi said. Kagome broke of her fantasy at her voice.

"Ok I'll be down in a minute and oh yeah mom don't worry about cooking breakfast for me and Inuyasha we're planning on going out for the whole day" Kagome called back.

"Ok sweetie but please come talk to your uncle its important" Hitomi said. Kagome kissed Inuyasha and told him to stay put until she came back. Inuyasha kissed her back hotly and nodded before sitting on the bed.

Kagome came down stairs to see a male with neatly brushed hair that was coal black, green eyes. He was her uncle from her father side of the family and her favorite uncle out of all of him. Kagome also noted that Sota was there as well so she sat on the couch next to him.

"Ok Kagome Sota since you're old enough to have this I will read to you my brother's final part of the will" Hakito said holding a recorder. Kagome and Sota were extremely curious but nodded telling him they were listening.

"Now here is the final piece of my will I want my daughter at age 18 and my son Sota at age 12 to inherit this. My daughter with take 90% of my money while Sota will have the other 10%, When my son is rightful age he will inherit my company with is being ruled by my twin brother Hakito taking control of everything. Who ever my son and daughter decide to marry I give them my blessing" The recorder with their father's voice said. Kagome and Sota were shocked.

"Well Sota and Kagome that is all of the will here is the credits cards with the money on it and the pin number is on piece of tape on the back" Hakito said handing over the credit card. Kagome looked at the credit card it was a very shiny gold one that said her name.

"Well thank you again go having me I should get back to the company I have a lot of meetings today and I can't missed them" Hakito said leaving out the front door. Kagome finally came to reality when the door closed.

"Yeah I me and Inuyasha need to get going so we go shopping and resupply on things" Kagome said going up stairs to get her hanyou fiancée.

After they reached the bottom of the stairs Kagome looked around for a direction they could go in. Inuyasha then point west towards the small town and Kagome nodded walking in the direction of the small town.

During the whole morning Kagome took Inuyasha to a bakery for breakfast. The guy there who knew the Higurashi's for a long time gave her a two pieces of banana bread for free. Kagome then went to a men clothing sop to buy Inuyasha some more clothes for the modern world.

Inuyasha brought 5 tee shirts, 6 tank tops, 5 pairs of shorts, 4 pairs of pants by the time they got out but they had the owner deliver the clothes to the shrine. It was finally mid afternoon when they finally heading towards the grocery store.

'Hey maybe when we get back we can do some things if you know what I mean' His demon said suddenly making Inuyasha blush.

'Shut up and leave me alone you pest and take a cold shower' Inuyasha said locking him down. Inuyasha then side glance at Kagome who caught his stare. His eyes full of lust and love.

"Um Inuyasha are you ok?" He nodded in reply looking away.

"Good because we should probably get going if we want to be ready to leave tonight." Kagome said turning away. Inuyasha smirked following her out the door, his eyes glued to her backside.
On their way to the store, Inuyasha caught a familiar sent and growled. Kagome looked at him but before she could say anything, a voice called out to her.
"Hey Kagome!" A familiar male voice called. Kagome turned and saw Hojo ridding on his bike up to her, she mentally sighed.
"Hey Hojo what bring you here?" Kagome asked. Hojo blushed a little, Inuyasha could smell the attraction off him, and he scowled.
"Um…well I was wondering if you were free tomorrow, there this new romantic comedy I thought we could go see." Hojo asked nervously. Inuyasha saw Kagome turn to him with pleading eyes not knowing how to handle the situation.
"Sorry Hobo but she's' spending tomorrow with me so move along, and back off." Inuyasha said wrapping his arm around her waist, while Kagome put her hand on his chest.
"Um and who might you be?" Hojo asked politely. Trying to hide his sudden jealously of the show of ownership Inuyasha was displaying. Inuyasha easily smelled the jealously rolling off him, and inwardly smirked.
"Oh this is Inuyasha… he's my fiancé Hojo. We had decided to wait until I finish high school before we made it official. I'm sorry I had to break it to you this way but, you never were good at rejection." Kagome said without hesitation. Inuyasha could sense the anger in Hojo as he glared at him.
"What the hell! How did you meet huh? How long did you know each other? Because I have never seen or heard of you around here before!" Hojo screamed, his face turning red in anger. Kagome didn't flinch at his tone. Unknown to them all, Kagome's friends were all watching the scene from the alleyway.

"Get over it Hojo I love him, and I will continue to until the day we both stop breathing" Kagome's face was so cold that it could rival Sesshomaru's cold stare. Inuyasha smirked, and wrapped both his arms around Kagome waist. Hojo was fuming.
"What about all those times I gave you gifts for when you were sick?" Hojo snapped making Inuyasha get angry with him for addressing Kagome in such a way.
Pushing Kagome behind him, Inuyasha squared up to Hojo, looking down into his eyes. "The reason she's marrying me is that I was there for her when she needed me. I protected her for years. And when my parent's dies she was there for me when I needed it." His harsh tone cause fear to rise in Hojo.
Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka were in shocked, and awe.
"Wow, no wonder why she's always rejecting Hojo, Inuyasha really was her boyfriend!" Yuka whispered to the two girls with her.
"I know, and they're getting married…man I've never seen Hojo so mad." Eri replied. Ayumi nodded in agreement. They looked at Kagome, and saw the rare cold indifference look on her face directed at the fuming Hojo, and they decided to follow them.
"Leave Hobo, and if I see you near my Kagome again I will hurt you" Inuyasha said in dismissal, took Kagome's hand, and walked in the opposite direction, unaware of the audience following them.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, her eyes were filled with happiness, and he smiled knowing that she was happy, and it made him happy.
"Inu can we go to the park and shop later so I can clear my head of today's incident with Hojo?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha nodded, and they headed off to the park.
When they arrived, they went over and sat in each-other's arms under one of the park trees. Kagome snuggled into his chest, and Inuyasha tightened his arms in a gentle embrace. The breeze blew in their direction, and Inuyasha caught the familiar scents of Kagome's friends, but decided to ignore them wanting to only focus on the woman in his arms.
"Wow Kagome looks soo happy! It makes sense why she didn't want Hojo, and turn him down every time he asked her out." Yuka said breaking the silence while watching Inuyasha and Kagome. Eri and Ayumi nodded in agreement. Unknown to them and the hanyou, they weren't the only ones spying on the happy couple.
