Chapter 12

"Kagome..., we need to talk," Inuyasha said, "About the night before that last fight with Naraku".

"Yeah, we do," Kagome replied, "Where do you want start?"

"I don't know," Inuyasha replied, "There so much to ask about, how you returned to life, how you were tied up, naked".

"And you actions when I was tied up," Kagome continued for him.

"I was..., I went and...," Inuyasha stuttered. He was at a loss for words, he decided that his action was going to go first. He was embarrassed, and ashamed of his own actions. What he did to her, without his consent was unforgivable. And yet what she did next, she acted like it never happened. Even though his demonic side had taken over. "I did something to you that is unforgivable... And yet your still here with me".

"Well...," Kagome replied, "I seen your eyes and realised that your demonic side took over, though I thought you were about to kill me, I had other reasons that will be explained in a bit that would of made it inevitable though. So I tried to enjoy it as much as I could, and anyways, why did your demonic side take over?".

"I threw the Tetseiga into the well," Inuyasha answered, "I was mourning your death, and my grief took to much hold".

Embarrassment took over for a moment, and Kagome decided to get past it as fast as possible. "Anyways we should get onto the rest of the story".

"Yeah," Inuyasha replied, "We should".

"About how I was revived," Kagome stated, "It was Sesshoumaru who did it. With his Tenseiga".

"Good for nothing bother finally did something good for once," Inuyasha replied, though Kagome looked away, disturbed.

"If only," Kagome answered, "Not after what he did".

"What did he do," Inuyasha asked, determined to get an answer.

"He had his toad go and find a particular snake," Kagome answered, Inuyasha was clearly impatient to hear what she had to say next, and was listening very closely. "He came out and said that the cure is mating with a demon or a half demon. He made the snake bit me".

"Why would he do that?" Inuyasha asked, he clearly didn't know it. And was growing angry that Sesshoumaru did that. The next time he seen his brother, there was definite hell to pay.

"I don't know," Kagome replied, "It could be possible that he found a way around the barrier that your sword has".

"There is going to be hell to pay," Inuyasha announced, "I take it that he was the one to strip you of your clothes, and tied you up?"

"Yeah," Kagome answered, "He was the one who to do that".

"Just great," Inuyasha snarled, not at Kagome though. There was no particular object he snarled at. He just did, luckily Kagome was affected by it.

"Umm..., Inuyasha," Kagome stated, getting Inuyasha's attention, "What do you know of demons mating?"

"Wench, what does that mat...," Inuyasha said annoyed that she asked a question like that until he realises an implication from her question. "Show me your neck". Under normal circumstances that would equal him getting sat. But she knew what Inuyasha was getting at, allowed him access. And what he saw was what he expected. Two small bite marks, permanent, and a sign that the girl was mated. Inuyasha would of left her right there, assuming that what she said earlier was a complete lie. He would of, but considering that he knew that Sesshoumaru did not mate with her. He knew for a fact that it was himself that mated with her.

"You surprised me when you bit me there you know," Kagome said, "Your father quickly noted that we had mated, and I figured that the bite had something to with it".

"What are we going to do about it?" Inuyasha asked, "The mating process is irreversible".

"Irreversible?" Kagome repeated.

And that hit Kagome, no escape from what was forced upon her..., both of them.

How will we make this work? I mean it's Inuyasha, we will fight the rest of our lives. Though...

"I guess we're have to make it work," Inuyasha said, "Though if I could I would let you go and be free from this".

"Or is it that you want to be free?" Kagome snapped, "So you can go after Kikyo".

"Ohh yeah, because I said that if I could let you go, I would. It's not like you would want to be with me!" Inuyasha retaliated.

"Inuyasha..., " Kagome stated.

"Inuyasha what?" Inuyasha almost yelled, he didn't want anyone to know of their argument. And had just enough control to do so, "Are you thinking that I would get rid of a past love for you? Well guess what, when I said past love. I meant past love, I do not love her anymore!"

"I'm so...," Kagome stuttered, "Inuyasha, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to upset you like that. I was being selfish". She then dug her face into Inuyasha's chest, crying. Though she knew that he hated to see her cry.

"And, anyways," Inuyasha continued, in a much softer tone. And just loud enough for Kagome to easily her him. She looked up into his eyes, and listened intently. "There's one person out there, who does hold my heart".

"Ohh yeah, I'm sorry about hurting your feeling, but you don't have to hurt mine just for mere revenge," Kagome snarled, "We're going to have to make things work now. All these small useless fights are going to only tear us apart".

"What makes you think I don't know that," Inuyasha replied, "I guess it isn't as obvious as I thought".

"Isn't as obvious as you thought," Kagome said, "Of course it isn't!"

"I guess to the who holds, it isn't obvious," Inuyasha stated, waited a couple seconds, "I guess I should be one to know that though. The one I love is laying on top of me at the moment".

"Inuyasha," Kagome stated, it started to feel more like a dream than anything, "I ahh..., I ..., the feelings mutual. I guess it should of been obvious".

They both had one mutual feeling at that moment.

Desire.

Kagome crawled on top of Inuyasha, lifting her head to his face. And soon their lips touched, and they joined each others embrace. Soon they removed their clothes, and neither hesitated for even a second.

"Good morning"

"Good morning"

"If anyone asks, can you how we had gotten together, can you tell them that it like how last night went".

"Sure"

Kagome dug into Inuyasha's naked chest, relaxed, and in a great mood. Even though she )was still tired from their earlier events. And then it hit, she had curled up into the fetal position.

"Inuyasha, the pain, it hurts".
