Chapter two :

Another enemy, Another kiss, and Another night.

Days later, Inuyasha's wounds had fully healed. Inuyasha still hadn't asked Kagome to be his mate, his wife, his only woman. But once they were alone , and he had the chance he would ask her.
Travelling by day and resting by night, the group got to a very strange village. A man had told them that a very dark aura had been hanging over the village right after Naraku had been destroyed. Inuyasha sniffed the air, he smelt food, Kagome, the others, and dirt.

''Inuyasha, what's wrong?''

''There is definately a dark aura here.'' replied Miroku.

''There is this smell of dirt here. But there is no dirt, only grass.''

''Also, if you think this is important, A dark and powerful demon flew over our village not too long after this Naraku you speak of passed on.''

''What did it look like?''

''That's the thing, it wasn't an it, it was a beautiful woman, in a dark cloud, but the only thing is that her eyes were as dark as hell itself.''

''Do you know where this ' woman ' went?''

'' Well, no, but I do know is that she headed, go over that hill and travel for about 2 days. Then you will come upon a blue mountain there is where I think she is headed.''

''Thank you, very much kind sir.''

Kagome jumped on Inuyasha's back and they headed for the blue mountain.

Kagome had been lost in her thoughts. Inuyasha, I love you but, I don't think you want to be with me . You haven't even asked me to be your wife, or your mate. IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS!!!!!!

Suddenly anger built up deep inside Kagome as she thought of one word. SIT.

SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!!!!!

Inuyasha was flung to the ground and kept going deeper and deeper until there was a huge crater in the ground and a half demon inside. He yelped in pain and screamed

'' WHAT WAS THAT FOR?''

Kagome had just realized what she had done. One minute she was riding on Inuyasha's back the next she was on her bottom and Inuyasha in a huge crater.

'' I am so sorry Inuyasha, I didn't mean to,''

''It's okay Kagome.''

But it wasn't. As nightfall arrived Inuyasha transformed from long nails to average human nails, from dog ears to human ears and from long and silver hair to long and black hair.

Something was wrong with him though, because usually when he changed he would move away from the group and then return fully changed. This time however, he had not gone away and as soon as he changed he fainted. Kagome rushed to his side. As soon as she laid her hands on his chest she felt blood. She took his top off. There was blood all over his chest! But why? Then it hit her. She had sitted him so much that his wounds must have opened again. She felt so mad at herself. Since she was a priestess she had spiritual healing powers. She would heal his wounds. She did. But it took so much out of her that she fell asleep next to her only love. The next morning Inuyasha woke up turned around and his lips smacked right into Kagome's waking her up. He broke off the kiss and Kagome kissed him back. They cuddled closer together. But broke apart when the heard a giggle and a 'WELL, WELL WELL.''

They both blushed and Inuyasha yelled

''Miroku! what the hell, go away!!!!''

Inuyasha jumped up and fled up into the highest tree branch of the nearest tree.

Kagome went with Sango and Miroku went to talk with Inuyasha.

(guys conversation.)

Miroku, i was just wondering, how do you ask a woman stay with you for the rest of your life?

''Well, Inuyasha, if you are a demon or half-demon then you ask a woman to be your mate right? and If you are human than you ask the person to marry you.

''So what will you and Sango do? ''

''Nothing, what makes you think that I want to do anything with her?''

''I may be stupid monk but I ain't that stupid. Everytime you meet a pretty girl you ask her to bear your children. But with Sango you haven't asked her anything . Monk I know you care for her. Just admit your feelings. She loves you too. You don't know it but Kagome and Shippo have been trying to get you two together for 2 years!!! just admit your feelings.

''What about you and Kagome , Inuyasha ?

Well,once I get the chance I want to ask her to marry me or be my mate. I love her

''Also monk if you tell anyone of this conversation I will murder you before you say I love you to Sango ! Got that !

(GIRLS HIDING IN BUSHES)

Kagome almost gasped when Inuyasha was going to ask her to be his mate, his wife, and that he loved her! Plus she was a little bit surprised that he was talking to a lecherous monk.

Sango was surprised at what Inuyasha had said to Miroku. She always thought that the half demon was clueless about love, since Kagome always tried to get him to kiss her and admit his feelings for her but never succeeded. And now he was telling a lecherous monk how to handle women ! What a turn-out for Inuyasha!

The girls got out of the bushes and slowly headed back to the men. As soon as Kagome got back, Inuyasha asked her to walk with him into the nearest forest. Thinking that it was the best choice to tell her now. But what he didn't know was that it was his worst. He didn't know that the demon (woman in the dark cloud) he and the others were looking for was actually looking for him.

''Hmm, Inuyasha, born of a demon and a human, you will meet your death along with your beloved.

Kagome's heart was racing, she knew what Inuyasha would ask her and she couldn't wait. She felt like she could fly off of the world. They stopped. Inuyasha got down on one knee and asked her a question

''Kagome, will you ummm, marry me?''
