I'm so sorry this took so long to get out! I've been extremely busy because my three college classes are loading me with homework. I shouldn't be throwing excuses out there, eh? Well this chapter isn't planned, it's the spur of the moment kind of thing. Also, there's a question at the end of this chapter that I want everyone to answer. ONWARDS.

Rejection

Kagome sat in her room doodling instead of writing her research paper for her history class. In the background, she could hear her stereo steadily thumping out music for her entertainment. The young miko was severely distracted by thoughts of her beloved hanyou.

"Oh, Inuyasha," she sighed to herself. "I'm so glad we've come to an understanding about our relationship." A small, goofy smile graced her pink lips as she thought back to the other day before Inuyasha hopped down the well and into the feudal era. Kagome couldn't believe the things he said.

Flashback

Kagome was sitting on the plush white living room couch as she was finishing up homework from her language class. It had taken her over an hour to complete considering Souta was playing a video game and the flash of light and colors as he slaughtered zombies was distracting.

The young raven haired girl closed her notebook and brought her legs up on the couch as she rested her head on the arm of the said furniture. She lazily watched her younger brother as he continued to fight off the zombies one by one.

She was distracted from her mild form of entertainment by none other than Inuyasha. He had just come in from the kitchen and had a bit of broth from his meal of ramen smeared across his face.

Kagome giggled, which caught Inuyasha's attention. "What's so funny, wench?" he demanded. Kagome only shook her head and told him it was nothing. The hanyou didn't believe her and voiced his accusation.

"I can tell when you lie, Kagome. I can smell it," he tapped his nose with his long, clawed index finger for emphasis.

His beloved sighed and leaned over to him, an innocent look shining in her eyes. "Inuyasha," she whispered sweetly. Inuyasha blushed at her proximity. Kagome slowly brought her face up level to Inuyasha's, whose cheeks turned a darker shade of red.

Inuyasha could feel her warm breath fan across his face. His eyes began to flutter slightly as he suppressed his urge to close them and relax into the emotions Kagome was causing. Inuyasha forced his eyes open when he felt something wet slide down his face.

He looked over and saw Kagome bring her tongue back into her mouth. Inuyasha growled in protest. He wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist and cupped her cheek with other and pulled her face back to his, where he smashed his lips into hers in a hot, searing kiss.

Kagome gasped in surprise and Inuyasha used this to his advantage and immediately shot his tongue into her moist cavern. Kagome's eyes glazed over in lust before she finally closed them and let Inuyasha worship her tongue with his.

Inuyasha's tongue danced around inside her mouth, grazing her own tongue and the roof of her mouth. Wanting to give Inuyasha a taste of the pleasure he was showering upon her, Kagome began a battle of tongues.

She ran her tongue across his canines, eliciting a growl from her hanyou. He began to suck on her tongue when the pleasure became too much to bare. Kagome moaned into his mouth, causing him to growl in response.

The two forgot about the world around them, only noticing each other and the moment they were sharing. They were interrupted from their make-out session by someone clearing their throat. They broke the kiss and whipped their heads around at the sound only to see a disgusted Souta.

"Get a room, will you? I'm only nine years old. I don't need to see that! It's gross!" The little boy covered his ears with his tiny hands and began to shake his head wildly. Kagome blushed at being caught by her younger brother.

"Sorry, Souta," she said sheepishly. Inuyasha only smirked at the predicament Kagome was in. Souta just gave the two an odd look before running out of the room and up the stairs.

Kagome sighed and turned around to face Inuyasha. "Talk about a mood killer," she mumbled. Inuyasha keh'd in agreement. Kagome sighed as she pulled herself to her feet. As she was about to walk away and towards the kitchen, she felt a slight tug on her wrist and looked down only to see a love-struck hanyou.

"Kagome," Inuyasha started. "I love you so much. You mean the world to me and I'm so lucky to have you as mine. You have no idea how great it feels knowing that someone as amazing as you can love someone as dirty as me. You're my life, Kagome. I don't know what I would do without you," with that he got down on one knee in front of the flabbergasted girl. Kagome's eyes widened in response when Inuyasha pulled a small, black velvet box from his haori.

He opened the box to reveal a simple yet beautiful diamond ring on a silver band. "Kagome Higurashi, will you marry me?" Kagome's hand flew to her opened mouth as her eyes began to water. She couldn't find her voice to say yes so she settled with nodding her head vigorously. Inuyasha's amber eyes began to glow with happiness as he scooped her up into his arms and began kissing her again.

End Flashback

Kagome looked down at the beautiful ring that was placed on her finger. She hadn't taken it off since Inuyasha slid it on that day. She looked down at her homework and decided she was too caught up in memories to finish it at the moment. She closed her textbook and glanced out her window.

She was surprised to see the golden eyes she loved so much staring right back at her through the glass. Kagome blinked a few times as Inuyasha relentlessly stared at her. She got up and walked over to the window to open it and let Inuyasha in.

Once the glass was out of the way, Inuyasha leapt inside Kagome's room and immediately plopped down on her soft bed. "Inuyasha, what're you doing here?" Inuyasha looked up at the sound of his lover's voice.

"What do you mean? I came to see you. I couldn't wait another two days for you to get back home so I thought I'd spend that time here with you," he stated simply. Kagome couldn't help the smile that spread across her face after he said that.

The young girl sat down next to the hanyou and rested her head on his shoulder. "I love you, Inuyasha," she whispered. "I love you, too, Kagome," Inuyasha said as he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Well here's another chapter for all of my loyal readers out there. As I mentioned in the above author's note, I have a question for everyone.

Question: Who do you think is more important in American history: Thomas Jefferson or George W. Bush?

We were talking about how Texas wrote Thomas Jefferson out of their history books in my English 103 class the other day and I was against it. I just want to hear your opinions about this matter. So please review with how you felt about this chapter and your opinion to the question. I love all of you!

Much love,

Kikira Lynn
