Engaged

Sesshomaru summoned Inuyasha to his study one evening. Inuyasha and Kagome had fallen deeper and deeper in love as the days went by, they knew each other's secrets and hopes and dreams.

Rin and Sesshomaru weren't blind, they saw what was blossoming between the two youngsters and they had both set out to find a way to keep them together while still stopping this war.

Rin had found one by accident and they both decided to tell them separately to spare them of any embarrassment.

"Hey" Inuyasha said as he entered Sesshomaru's study "What's this about?"

Sesshomaru was lounging in front of a wood burning fire. He looked exactly the king he was but he had a tired expression on his face that Inuyasha hadn't seen before.

"You okay?" Inuyasha asked his brother.

Sesshomaru nodded and got up. "I'm tired, all I ever hear nowadays are reports of war"

Inuyasha frowned, he had forgotten about Kagome's limited time here.

Sesshomaru walked behind his desk and lowered himself into a chair. "Rin found a way to end this war completely" Inuyasha looked up in interest. "But it does require heavily on the cooperation on both sides and a lot of help from you"

"Me?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru nodded. "The idea we have is the only peaceful way to end this war; to join the clans together by a royalty marrying"

Inuyasha went slightly red and was glad that his brother was kind enough to talk about this in privet.

"Yeah?" Inuyasha said slowly putting the answer together.

"Well" Sesshomaru reached for a glass of wine that Kagome never failed to leave on his desk. "It's only a suggestion, but both you and Kagome are both royalty, so this reasoning would work as far as I can tell"

And if the Silverblood king decides to cooperate Inuyasha finished for him. He sighed and thought about it for a long time. Sesshomaru was busy looking at his work and didn't mind his brother while he thought about his answer.

Meanwhile in the gardens Rin and Kagome were talking and Rin showed Kagome her favourite rose. "It only blooms one week a year" she told her. "And the first day it bloomed was my wedding day"

Kagome smiled, she bent down to smell the wonderful rose, it smelt of happiness. But then Kagome had always been sensitive to emotions attached to things.

Rin decided to tell her now. "Kagome… you remember that you only have another week left at the palace before a war breaks out"

Kagome looked into Rin's kind face and said looking down "I know I should be leaving soon"

Rin sat down next to her. "No, we all want you to stay and Sesshomaru and I have discovered a way for this dumb feud to end completely"

Kagome looked at Rin in surprise. "Really?" she asked.

Rin nodded. "But your Father and Inuyasha need to agree to this, too, or it will only postpone this war at the least"

Kagome nodded. She was excited to hear that there was a way for her to stay with Inuyasha.

Rin looked at the rose "Inuyasha and you have to marry" she said quietly.

Kagome blinked, she waited for Rin to look up and say 'kidding' but she didn't.

Marry Inuyasha? Kagome thought in shock. It was all she ever wanted, but he had to agree with this too. She didn't want to get heartbroken.

"Sesshomaru is telling Inuyasha as we speak, he'll be given the same reasons by his brother"

Inuyasha and Kagome had been sharing a room ever since they had declared their love so Kagome waited in their room for him.

When he did return he was so lost in thought he didn't notice that she was there until she stood up.

They didn't speak, both were wondering if they should just ask about the idea of marriage. But it was too embarrassing to just start it off like that.

Inuyasha broke the silence. "Rin told you then" she nodded, but didn't speak.

Kagome whispered quietly, but Inuyasha's sensitive ears heard her every word "I will only do this plan if you want to"

His golden eyes hardened with his decision. He walked forwards until she was right in front of him. "Kagome, if you want to I'd like to go with this crazy idea. I love you and I will do anything for us to be together…" he got down on one knee and brought out a little black box.

Oh my god! Kagome thought in shock.

"Kagome, I love you more than life itself, will you marry me? Only say yes if you love me, not for the end of a war or any other reason."

Kagome opened the box he had given her and inside was a beautiful silver ring with diamonds covering its surface. Kagome smiled with tears in her eyes, she looked at Inuyasha and said "Yes" she laughed and threw herself at him.

"Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!" Inuyasha laughed as they both landed on the ground. He put the ring on her finger and kissed her.

She kissed back and she knew that it was the happiest day of her life.

They lay there for most of the afternoon then Kagome sighed. "Now for the hard part" Inuyasha looked at her curiously and her brown eyes looked back a little afraid and nervous.

"The hard, and maybe even highly dangerous part" she said sitting up. He looked alarmed "We have to tell my Father"

Inuyasha suddenly looked as nervous as she was. Oh great He thought.
