I do not own the Celine Dion song "I Love You," which is used in this chapter
I'm All Yours
-----------------
"KOGA!" Inuyasha shouted as he ran into the entrance of Koga's cave.
Koga, who was in the middle of eating his dinner with his comrades, was rather surprised. "Hi, Mutt. What brings you here?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT!" Inuyasha held up Tetseiga. "I'M HERE TO TAKE BACK WHAT'S MINE!"
"Huh? What did I take that was yours?"
"KAGOME IS MINE, YOU MANJEY WOLF WARRIOR!"
Kagome came running into the cave. "Inuyasha! Please calm down!"
He turned and looked at her with a pleading look on his face. "Kagome, I understand what it's like to be in love with someone. But I can take care of you so much better than he can."
"Wait… What?" Koga asked in confusion.
Inuyasha gave him an angry look. "I proposed to Kagome and she told me that she was in love with you!"
A bright smiled crossed Koga's face and he was quickly at Kagome's side. "Really!?"
She gulped. "Yes, but no! I only said that because--"
"--ENOUGH TALK!" Inuyasha held Tetseiga as the ready. "Get back Kagome! I'll take care of him!"
Poor Kagome watched in horror as Inuyasha chased Koga up and down the walls of the cave, and finally, outside. Her mind raced. How could she stop this? There was only one real way. She wore a bright smile. "Inuyasha! You really do love me!"
The two of them stopped in their tracks and looked at her confused. "Huh?" they both asked at once.
Kagome threw herself into Inuyasha's arms. "Well, here goes nothing. I just hope that all that time in drama class paid off." She looked up at him with happiness in her eyes. "Inuyasha, I'm so sorry. It's just that… You should know the affect you have on me."
Inuyasha smiled. "Really? What kind of effect?"
"Um… It's hard to talk about in front of… people." She gestured to Koga, who was in a state of complete confusion. She walked over to him and hugged him. "Koga, I'm so sorry! But I choose Inuyasha!" She directed him back to the cave. "Can I say good-bye to you in private?" She leaned in and whispered, "I have to tell you something."
o O o
For the next five minutes, Inuyasha waited for Kagome to tell Koga good-bye. Finally, he heard Koga burst out laughing from the inside of the cave. They both came back out. Koga patted Inuyasha on the shoulder. "The better man won today Inuyasha!" He said through his laugher. "I hope you two are very happy together! Just look out for her soup!" He laughed his way back into his cave.
Inuyasha was confused by that last remark, but he really didn't care. He scooped Kagome up in his arms and took off running back to their cave that he had decorated.

He laid her down on the blankets and pillows again. "That wasn't nice Kagome," he said with a smile on his face.
She chuckled nervously. "Yes, well… I needed to know for sure that you loved me."
He took her hand. "Kagome, I would do anything for you. Really." He reached inside his kimono top and took out an envelope. "I wrote this for you."
She took the envelope and opened it up. Inside was a piece of paper that read:
Kagome,
I must be crazy now. Maybe I dream too much. But when I think of you, I long to feel your touch. To whisper in your ear words that are old as time. Words only you would hear if only you were mine. I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you. Should have made my move when you looked in my eyes. 'Cause by now, I know that you'd feel the way that I do. And I'd whisper these words as you lie here by my side. "I love you. Please say you love me too." These three words, they could change our lives forever. And I promise you that we will always be together till the end of time.
Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, this is so beautiful. It's…" She noticed the date when it was written. "This was written a week ago…" She looked at him. "Inuyasha, did you write this before or after you ate Shoga's soup the night before last?"
He was confused. "I wrote it about seven days ago. It's how I feel about you." He shrugged. "I would stand outside and pretend to scout at night while I was thinking of a way to tell you."
"You means, you weren't thinking of Kikyo?"
He shook his head. "Kagome, I love you… I'm all yours."
Her eyes grew wide. She threw her arms around him and kissed him. "Inuyasha! I love you too and I really will marry you!"

Kagome and Inuyasha walked back to the village and found a surprising scene. Shippo was chasing after Kilala in the streets while Sango was hiding from Miroku behind a tree. Kagome ran over to Sango. "What's going on?"
"This was a bad idea! The worst idea I've ever had!" Sango whispered. "He wants to have twenty children Kagome! Can you believe it!? TWENTY CHILDREN! I just can't handle that many. That, and Shippo won't stop chasing Kilala all over the place! I assume that you've had the same luck with Inuyasha?"
"Well yes, but it all worked out wonderfully. I'll tell you later. Can Shoga make an antidote for this?"
Sango shook her head. "She says that she doesn't know how. But Kaede has summoned someone to help. They're talking in her house right now."
"Good. Can you keep an eye on Inuyasha until I get back?"
Sango nodded.
Kagome took off running toward Kaede's house. She ran through the door and was shocked at who she saw.
"Hello Kagome," the visitor said in her usual, deep voice.
