Since Demon and half-demon pup/child grow a little bit fast then human child do, Inu Yasha and Kagome's baby was on solid food with in a few weeks. Thus allowing Kagome a bit of freedom from having to breast feed their pup and she could go to school to prepare for her final exams of her first semester of high school.
Inu Yasha started to sense the stress level rise in Kagome as each day past. Inu Yasha tried to ask Kagome, "Why she is so stressed out all of a sudden?" Kagome's response was not the answer he was expecting, she just flip out on him for no reason. As Inu Yasha was leaving Kagome to her homework, he was completely taken back by his mate's reaction to his concern for her feelings\well being, he was so surprised that Kagome didn't want to express her feelings to him her mate.
The next day will Kagome is at school, and Inu Yasha is feeding his son lunch he ask Mrs. Higurashi, "Why Kagome is so stressed out lately?" Mrs. Higurashi explained to Inu Yasha, "That at this time each year for her it was getting down to the final exams of the first semester and it could make her get better grades in a course she has been doing great in or make her fail a course that she was not doing so great in." Mrs. Higurashi told Inu Yasha that she though that Kagome need a weekend off of thinking about her exams and school all together for at least for the up coming weekend.
Mrs. Higurashi told Inu Yasha that this coming up weekend she would take care of Inu Ryo Yasha, well Inu Yasha took Kagome to the Feudal Era for some time off and well deserved rest and relaxation with her mate. Inu Yasha express his appreciation for Mrs. Higurashi's explanation of what was happening with his mates feelings\behavior and giving him some a lone time with Kagome\his mate for the up coming weekend.
Mrs. Higurashi told Inu Yasha that at these times where her stress level raise to these highest that you can sense, she needs her mate to be their for her, support her in any way that you can and take her on a couple special dates to take her mind and body. Inu Yasha noted that he had filled two of three the things that Kagome needs him to do for her and Mrs. Higurashi was helping Inu Yasha give Kagome a special weekend away from the worries of school and parenting.
Mrs. Higurashi is impressed by the way that he was holding up under the emanse pressure of having his mate absorbed in her studies and he was stuck taking care of their pup, he had no idea how stressful it was to go through exams. But through his mate he is getting a breaty good idea of what it's like to be worried about something\someone and being not able to help or cure that fear.
When Kagome came home that evening, Inu Yasha said that this weekend they were going to relax in the feudal era and enjoy beening together before you have your exams. Kagome was surprised that Inu Yasha want to leave friends and new born pup behind to having a relaxing weekend to help her relieve her stress from preparing for final exams, she knew that they were mate but she though that he would not be that caring for her. But he actual was caring for her and her emotions and feelings to want to give her a weekend of relaxation.
Kagome POV
Was he asking me out even though he has me as his mate, or was he treating her to a special date to show her that she could and can relay on him to make her life a whole a lot better especial around exam times, where she need someone really special in her life. I was glad that Inu Yasha opened up to me in early April, and has been with me ever since and he has been a perfect mate\husband. At this time in each semester she really need her mate to come through with some great special dats.
End of Kagome POV
Kagome said, "Um…sure Honey!" She really didn't know what to expect, since the Shikon Jewel is finished and the last time she was in the feudal era she had a date with Inu Yasha, so what was left to do their except see the village that Inu Yasha lived in when he was a pup.
Kagome didn't know how close to the truth that she was with what Inu Yasha was planning on doing or showing her on the weekend, because he really want her to see where he grow up with his mother. Since he has Kagome as his mate, he needs to show and tell her the truth on how he grew up. After he let Kagome know about his past he hope that she would let him know her past.
That night Kagome was getting ready to pack to go to the feudal era on the weekend but it was really late at night and Inu Yasha knew that Kagome need a great amount rest to be able to do well on her school work and studying for her final exams. So he told Kagome that he would pack her stuff with his stuff the next will she was at school, so she snuggled into to bed with Inu Yasha and few asleep instantly when her head snuggled against his strong chest. When Kagome was stealed into Inu Yasha he wrapped his arm around her waist protectively as he drifted off to sleep for the night.
When Kagome got home from school Friday night she went to have quite shower and get change into something a little more comfortable for camping out for three nights straight, but when Inu Yasha came out of their room he said that she could take her time and relax because that is what this weekend has been planned for.
Four hours later Inu Yasha and Kagome are ready to head to the feudal era for the weekend. After they drop off Kagome's back pack at Keade's they head out on a little adventure, where the only thing that Inu Yasha told Kagome is that he is being her some were near and dear to his heart.
As Inu Yasha was nearing his village that he grow up in he notice that Kagome was a sleep on his back and decised that it would be a good time and place to stop for the night. Inu Yasha found a tree that had a comfortable branch that he could lay in with Kagome snuggle against his chest. So without to much movement Inu Yasha moved Kagome from his back to caring her bridle style and leap up to the branch and few asleep once he had made both of them comfortable on the branch.
In the morning Kagome woke up and stretch and notice that she was up high off of the ground and she was facing a village that she never has seen before and snuggled up against Inu Yasha's chest. Inu Yasha begin to stur and wake up. Inu Yasha informed Kagome that the village she had just seen was the village that he grow up in.
Kagome was amazed how Inu Yasha is really opening up to her and that when she was done with her first ever set of exams, she would reveal her past to him. She knew that this was going to be a great relaxing weekend. As they reach the gates of the village, she noted that the village had many well off families living in this village and they had no problems with demons or half-demons.
Inu Yasha POV
He knew Kagome was always interested in his past and he always would want to show\tell her everything about him but he was afraid that she would pity him so much that she would have wanted to become his mate out of pity instead of love. He was amazed at how much she was take in and how much she was enjoying her self, he was sure that he made the right choice of showing Kagome his past and not take the week to relax in Keade's village.
End of Inu Yasha POV
As Inu Yasha and Kagome were walking through the village head to Inu Yasha's child hood home, when a old man walk up to them and greeted Inu Yasha as an old best friend. Inu Yasha greeted him and check to see if everything was the same and that no one was living in his home.
Inu Yasha then introduce Kagome to his best and only friend he had growing up, and Inu Yasha gave a much warmer greeting than anyone that he meet before and Kagome was surprised at his greeting. But Inu Yasha behavior was just the tip of the iceberg because his friend's reaction, when Inu Yasha told his long time friend that she was his mate and he said that they were 'Soul Mates'.
Kagome POV
I was stick that Inu Yasha could greet someone with so much warmth and sincerity, and when Inu Yasha was getting to catch-up chatting I was surprised that the first thing that Inu Yasha told his old friend was that I was his mate.
I thought that he would start at the point were he few head over heels in love with Kikyo and how Naraku put him and Kikyo in a trap against each other and he was pinned to the sacred God tree for 50 year until I came and unpinned him from the sacred God tree and gave him a second chance at love, but he introduce me to his old friend right off the bat.
The next and biggest surprise that he had in store for me was that he told his friend that we were soul mates. Then came to time he had with Kikyo, for once I was number 1 in his heart. Her not Kikyo.
End of Kagome POV
Inu Yasha bid is old friend far well as he left for his home and family for the night as Inu Yasha and Kagome head off to Inu Yasha's old home. The house it's self was a beautiful house that looked like it was constructed by a Demon Lord for his mate\wife, she assumed that this was the house Inu Yasha's father build to keep his mate (Izayoi) and his son Inu Yasha so that they could be well protected from service in the castle and other demons who hate his choice of a mate.
Kagome gazed at the house at it's beauty and amazement at how someone or somedemon could love someone that much to give them a gift that is this beautiful. As Inu Yasha looked over at Kagome he notice that she was in amazement of his home.
As they were approaching the front entrance Inu Yasha says, "Kagome if you think that the outside of my house is great, wait until you see the inside is just as amazing or a little bit better then the outside of my house."
As Kagome enter her mate's home she was amazed at how well off he was before he left to become a full-fledged demon and was willing to stay with Kikyo and leave this lecturely. As she was exploring Inu Yasha's home she was amazed at how similar to her own home.
As Kagome was exploring his house Inu Yasha was busy make dinner for him and his mate. He was trying to set up a romantic atmosphere so that Kagome would forget about everything about the situation that she is with her first semester exams.
As Inu Yasha was looking for Kagome, he sensed that Kikyo was near by, as he followed Kagome sneat to his old room and found her asleep on his bed snuggled under the sheets that he has used in over 51 years now and she looked very happy and secure, he went over and woke her up for dinner.
When she was awake she told him that his sneat was still on the sheets from when he was a teenager. They went to the dinning room to have their dinner and enjoy being with each other for a little will.
Inu Yasha knew that Kikyo was some were around the premises of his and Kagome's nice territory/condo. He told Kagome that Kikyo was outside on their property and territory and he need her help to dump Kikyo but still have her as a friend and later a guardian angel for their expected family.
As Inu Yasha and Kagome were leaving their home to go find Kikyo she just appeared in front of them in the entrance way, and Inu Yasha said, "Kikyo, you are a very close friend that help me get my soul mate and the happiest part of my life. You will never be forgotten for what you have/did for me in your life, but I choice Kagome as my mate and to live with her for the rest of my life."
Then Kagome add in, "If you true love Inu Yasha you will allow him to choice between you and me freely and allow him to have a happy life with who ever he choices, namely me!" Kagome was not really mad at Kikyo or was really pleased to see her but gave Kikyo the respect that she deserved for being Kagome's ancestor.
Kikyo bowed and said, "I am very sorry fort casing so much pain and agony over my love for Inu Yasha, I sense that you have figure out the one thing that you can give him that I can't give him now, since I have been restricted from the dead. I came to say good bye and wish you a happy long propress life together, and I bless your pup and future pups to live long and happy lives and that they can find a great mate like their mother!"
Kagome Was shock and surprised that Kikyo was not trying to fight over who got to spend the rest of their lives with Inu Yasha at their side. Kikyo continued her chat with them, "I didn't come here to say my goodbyes to you two, I came to give you two a special gift that is like another mark/ring to show that you two are half-demon and half-demoness (Female demon) and this will give you two immortally, eternal youth, and you will not look a day over 21 years old in human years not demon/half-demon years."
As Kikyo was talking about her gift, she goes into her pocket and pulls out two identical bracelets, the only difference was the size, one was larger that he other like it was meant for a male's wrist and the other was meant for a female's wrist. After Kikyo got the bracelets out she got up all of her courage that she had left and put them on Inu Yasha's wrist and Kagome's wrist and told them, "that there is two more powers that Inu Yasha and Kagome can sense the bracelets power near by (100 feet away from them) and that went they are get close to the other that is captured the bracelet let's off a bright white light that only the other person in the marriage or being the mate can see."
After Kikyo was finished with her work she back away a little and said a final goodbye to the happy couple and she began to vaporize into thin air and leave the realm of the living and go back to where she belonged the realm of the dead. Before Kikyo was completely gone Inu Yasha said that he always will tell his pups/child that you are gone because of one of his worst enemies though that you were the one I choice as my mate, but your are going to be the closest family friend and I will never forget the time we spend together 50 years ago.
