He hadn't planned on anything that permanent with Kagome. Well, putting it that way made him sound ridiculous but when he had asked Kagome out he'd originally only asked her out because she was someone he could see as a girlfriend; just that. He didn't think far into their future and never thought they'd be fiancés or even mates. He hadn't realized what his actions might sound like to his parents so he didn't ignore them but he never particularly agreed with them either. For him Kagome was special and important and so was his relationship with her. He wasn't going to rush things with her. It didn't matter if they ended up becoming mates or not, what mattered was that they were together now. If their relationship moved on it would but if it didn't it just wasn't meant to me.
