Marry me
"Marry me!" Fair enough he probably could have thought of something different to say when she first appeared atop the well, like, 'welcome back' or even just a simple 'hello'. But no, he had said 'marry me' as his first welcoming words, and the fact she had been gone for a month and a half did not forgive such frightening greeting. Therefore her rather startled 'what' in reply despite the fact she had heard him perfectly was to be expected.
He had been speaking to Sango and Miroku during her absence, and the male had told him how human mating customs worked. While he did not have a ring yet, he did have the undying love that had to come with it, once she was his he would bestow all the jewels in the world upon her if she wanted them – and he doubted such material objects held all that much worth in her eyes. Voice less frantic now that he had seen her again and was sure she was not going to disappear to her time forever, making him wait another four centuries he sank down to one knee just as the monk had suggested and repeated his claim.
Her affirmative reply was immediate; she loved him just as much as he loved her. She loved him unconditionally, uncontrollably, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
