And although I don't have time to thank you each individually, THANKS FOR REVIEWING! It really kept me going.
Kagome sighed a bit, snuggling against her bed, feeling warmth radiating from it, and the firmness of it being extremely comforting to her. She snuggled into in further, not wanting to wake up from the peace she was in, completely content. She opened her eyes slowly, her vision blurry from all the light surrounding her. As she squinted through it though as she looked at her 'bed' only to see a mess of white hair surrounding her, and when she lifted her head ever-so-slightly, she saw none other than InuYasha's face inches from hers, eyes closed and still breathing evenly. She smiled a bit as she took in a breath, inhaling his musky scent that somehow reminded her of earth and deep forests. That's when her eyes suddenly snapped open. 'Since when did InuYasha have a scent?!' She thought with confusion in her eyes, as she looked around what she had figured out was Kaede's hut, not remembering it ever being so bright in the small practically windowless space.
She felt InuYasha stir under her as for a moment at her sudden movements and then squint open his golden eyes slightly. InuYasha looked around for a moment, seeming to be trying to grasping his surroundings.
InuYasha glanced up at Kagome for a moment before smiling. "Hey Kagome, feeling better?" he asked sleepily, Kagome still lying across him. Kagome nodded slightly at him, wincing at the volume of his words. "Uhg, InuYasha, I have a splitting headache though, everything seems so loud…and bright." She banged her head slightly into his shoulder, hiding her face from view, so he could only see her dark hair.
InuYasha sighed for a moment before looking back down on her, when something caught his attention. There was something black…and fuzzy…sticking out of the top of her head that seemed so oddly familiar. "Hey…Kagome…" he said slowly, as he slowly grasped her shoulders and pulled her up in front of his face to get a better look at her. What he saw was by all means a shock.
Kagome was about to protest about being moved, when she heard InuYasha gasp and saw his eyes widen slightly. "InuYasha…?" she began uncertainly, not knowing what was wrong.
InuYasha slowly raised his clawed hand up to Kagome's head, thinking he might just be hallucinating…or dreaming…or had finally gone crazy one. But when he touched her head, he knew he wasn't just imagining things. Under his hand were two triangular fuzzy dog ears, exactly like his own, only they were almost completely black. He slowly sat himself up, setting Kagome in front of him in the process so he could get a better look at her.
Kagome only gave him a confused look for a moment at his odd behavior before he finally replied to it. "Hey, Kagome…are you...uh…feeling…alight?" He asked uncertainly, obviously confused beyond his mind's capability at what was going on.
Kagome gave him an uncertain expression. "Yah, I mean, it's really bright, noisy, and you smell kinda weird, but I'm fine." She replied slowly. InuYasha just gave her an incredulous look before replying, "Kagome, uUhHh…you might want to think about that…um…can you tell me what's happened to you?" He asked unsurely, still disbelieving, and eyeing her new ears which kept twitching around on her head.
Kagome looked at him for a moment before replying; still completely confused.
"Well uh, yesterday I think was when I got into a fight with Kikyo, and got hurt while you were human. I remember getting shot through the side, and then blacking out; I mean I thought I was going to kick the bucket there. Then you showed up," her cheeks colored slightly, "And you kissed me and I drank your blood…I think. Then my whole body started burning, but I kept thinking that you would never hurt me, and I think that's when I blacked out again." She trailed off for a moment and then continued.
"I had these weird dreams InuYasha…I could see me; only it wasn't me. She was a demon, an inu-youkai, but InuYasha, I know it was me. She kept talking to me; kept going on about 'let me out, let me out' …and then this huge blue light came out of nowhere and seemed to lock her up. She was screaming…it was horrible!" she cringed slightly into InuYasha's chest, but he gripped her shoulders and beckoned for her to continue. "Then…then you came. She was still screaming, and her eyes were turning red while she was being trapped in the blue cage of flames, and you…." she trailed off again as she could feel her face head up substantially. InuYasha just sent her a puzzled look through his bangs. "What Kagome?" he asked curiously. Kagome just blushed deeper and continued. "Well you kissed me…and told me we would be together forever now…" She trailed off with a puzzled look on her face, and reached for her shoulder. "Then you bit me…it was weird. You bit me on the shoulder and I felt this tingling all over me…like I was being tickled with feathers. You smiled at me afterward and took my hand and we walked away from the screaming me…then I woke up." She looked up at InuYasha and gave him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, my imagination likes to go wild sometimes, but what were you freaking out over anyway?"
InuYasha sat staring blankly at Kagome; trickles of knowing appearing in his mind. His eyes snapped to Kagome abruptly and he put his hand on her shoulder, over her own. "Hey…Kagome let me see your shoulder for a second." He said quickly, ignoring the weird look she was giving him. He apprehensively pulled down the side of her robe just slightly, exposing her neck and shoulder. Kagome heard him gasp and tried to look at him, but he held her in place.
InuYasha stared again blankly at Kagome's shoulder, baffled beyond clue. For upon her shoulder, right in the crick of her neck, was a crescent moon with two lines like claw marks through it; his mother's and father's mate mark; only with an extra claw-line through it. He slowly brought his fingers down and traced it lightly with one of his claws. He remembered once his mother had showed it to him on her own neck; had told him one day it would be his to use on his mate, but being the young child he was, he had simply stuck his tongue out at such thoughts as girls and that had been the end of that conversation. He heard Kagome cough slightly and glanced up at her; only to see her face steaming red still trying to stare down at him unsuccessfully.
InuYasha quickly released her only to have her squeak, "What are you doing InuYasha?! What's gotten into you?" InuYasha just looked down at her unbelievingly and replied, "Kagome, I think we need to talk." Kagome froze; suddenly having flash-backs of when her mother had once said that to her…she shivered slightly….No need to go back to those memories, not now. Kagome replied with a apprehensive, "Okay." And InuYasha took a deep breath of air. "I-uh, I think when we uh, kissed and you drank my blood…well I think something went wrong Kagome." Kagome kept staring blankly at him and he continued, "I…I think your body reacted to my blood differently then it was planned to." He held up a hand, as if trying to stop the invisible questions coming from her closed mouth to stop. "Could you…uh…do me a favor Kagome?" He asked uneasily, and watched Kagome nod in agreement. He gulped a bit, as if afraid of what the final outcome of what she was going to do to be crucial. "Could you check my neck and see…if there's anything…um…unusual on it?" He asked, going slightly pink.
Kagome glanced up at him incredulously and just replied an uneasy, "Alright." Before reaching over and pulling back his hiori on his right shoulder, examining his neck.
"Nope, nothing there InuYasha." She replied to him, only to have him answer, "Try the other shoulder, I'm not sure which it would be on." Kagome was now more confused then she could ever remember being, but she complied and slowly lifted the cloth from his other shoulder, cocking her head to examine his neck, and gasped.
InuYasha groaned slightly in knowing, expecting her answer before she even answered it herself. "InuYasha!" she gasped, "There-there's a…a mating mark on you!" She suddenly froze up, and InuYasha glanced down at her, and then seemed to shrink away at her darkening aura. "Who did you mate InuYasha?" She asked seething, and then all at once got quiet and started tearing over. "Why?....why didn't you…tell me?" She asked, beginning to sob, until InuYasha grabbed both of her shoulders and turned her to look into his eyes. "Kagome, wait! Listen to me!" He said desperately, only loosening his grip on her slightly when she stopped her sudden flash-flood sobbing. "That's what I'm trying to tell you! I…I think something went wrong with the whole blood thing! I-I…" He took a great gulp of air and burst out, "I think we're mates!"
Kagome stopped her crying and hiccupped once, stunned into silence. "Wha…What?" she asked uncertainly; cheeks becoming red. "What did you just say?" She asked again quietly, a hand over her heart. InuYasha's face was glowing, he continued. "I…I think that when you drank my blood, your body took it as the only thing it could to be able to handle it; it mated us with it, and in doing so healed you. Take a look at your side." Kagome meekly dropped her gaze to her side and moved to remove the bandages, when InuYasha swept out and cut them with a flick of his claws. Kagome moved her hand to her side and again gasped, feeling nothing but her skin under her fingertips. When she looked down at her side she couldn't find any remnants of the battle wound; not even a scar. Kagome's eyes slowly made there way up to InuYasha's, disbelief written all over her face.
InuYasha just gave her an apologetic grimace and continued. "Um…that's not all Kagome. I-uh think when it turned us into mates, it…well it kind of changed you." Kagome gave him a wary look and he continued, grabbing her hands and bringing them up to her face. "It looks like you; well you kind sort of got turned into an Inu half-demon Kagome." Kagome was about to object to what he had said when she saw her hands. Clawed Hands. Kagome took in a quick intake of breath. What? Kagome slowly brought them up to her face and examined them, before her eyes went wide for a moment and then her hands fled to her head, and she squealed. "InuYasha! I HAVE YOUR EARS!" She smiled gleefully and she rubbed her ears enthusiastically with one hand, and then reached over and rubbed his. "This is great!" she squealed again; launching herself across his lap and hugging him, catching him off guard.
InuYasha just inwardly coughed. 'Keh, sure took that better than I thought she would anyway.' He thought, hugging her in return as she cuddled into his shoulders. He sighed at the mere humor of her and then whispered, "You don't mind?" into her hair uncertainly. Kagome just slowly pulled away from him and smiled, looking him in the eyes.
"Only if you do." She said, giggling again and then continued. "Are you kidding InuYasha? This is all I've wanted for forever! Now I don't have to worry about you leaving me; or Kikyo stealing you; I can be with you forever!"
InuYasha felt immediate relief flood through him, and he smiled at her, brushing her black, now silver-streaked hair from her face and replied, "Keh, good."
He smiled at her again through his eyelashes before taking her off guard; cupping her cheek in his hand and bringing her forward in his lap, kissing her lightly on the tips, only earning a gasp from her as she kissed back, each slowly becoming fuzzy-minded; becoming less aware of the happenings around them. InuYasha was caught up in tangling his claws into Kagome's hair; never feeling so happy, when he heard an elderly squeal come from the door of the cabin, breaking them apart.
"What in the name of Kami?!" squealed Kaede, shielding her eyes. "Can yeh never keep yer hands to yerselves children?! Kagome's not even healed yet you!" She made shooing motions at InuYasha as if he should get up and leave her alone before he held up a hand to her, breath still coming back from moments ago. "Take a good look at Kagome, what do you see old bat, hu?" He asked, glancing at Kagome again for the first time since they had broke apart, and was meekly surprised, for now the millionth time that day. "Hey Kagome," he said, "your eyes, they're gold now." He said unsurprised, earning a confused look from the elder miko, which they both ignored.
"Why do you think they turned colors now InuYasha?" Kagome asked curiously, new golden eyes shining curiously. InuYasha just simply shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I don't know, it's probably some sort of sign saying that what changes were going to happen have happened or something. Prolly happened now cuz it's the first time we've kissed since all this," He made sweeping motions with his hand, "has happened."
They both stared at each other in turn for a moment before they heard a cough coming from beside them, and turned to look at Kaede again.
Kaede again gave them an uncertain look and asked, "What are yeh two talking about? What are these changes yeh speak of?" InuYasha just gave her an incredulous look before pointing to Kagome's ears; which were still twitching around the room as they spoke.
"Are you blind woman? Don't you see her ears? Or eyes? Or how about the claws you old bat?" He replied gruffly, giving her a disbelieving look and holding up Kagome's hand in front of him.
Kaede just looked even more confused and replied, "I see nothing hanyou, Kagome looks healthy yes, but her ears are down there on the sides of her head silly boy, not upon her head. Her eyes are bright and happy, yet they look the same as they always have. She looked perfectly normal to me InuYasha."
