Her family was all gathered along the top of the hill as the two demons stood under the tree.
They parted as Kagome came into vision giving her room to meet the two she will have to choose between.
She greeted both of them with a smile before speaking.
"If someone told me a few years back the love of my life would be between a Killing Perfection and a Carefree Spirited Wolf Demon I would have laughed till tears came from my eyes" she giggled making her friends chuckle and the two demons smirk.
"As you know there were two opinions I cherished deeply because I knew that they would make me think outside the box" she turned around to face the others.
"Shippo" she began "Obviously your opinion means the world to me because you're my son and I couldn't imagine being with someone who didn't get along with my baby" she smiled "but also there's the fact at how much you truly know me. There are things you know about me that no one, not even Sango nor Inuyasha knows. I value your opinion because though you are only 15, you older in wisdom and never fail in telling me what I need to know"
They all expected Sango but the name she called out next through everyone off course.
"Kikyo" she walked up giving the woman a hug before giving a friendly smile.
"It is no secret that we had bad blood in regards to a common goal and over the years it turned into hatred and anger. Even after the mating I still had anger and jealousy showing it's ugly head but didn't show it" she admitted "you guys are probably wondering why I chose her as someone to help me with this decision. . . well the answer is quite simple. . . she found yourself in the same situation"
"WHAT" Inuyasha growled before turning to his mate "Who the hell else was after you besides me"
"Inuyasha" she warned but he was not backing down. She gave a sigh knowing this was not going away.
"Onigumo" she whispered "we will speak of this later. You will not ruin this day for Kagome" she warned before he backed down not wanting to upset Kagome right after becoming close again.
"Though I didn't understand at first, I realized what you were trying to make me understand. Regardless of who I choose, there are little things about me I have to change but which one will I be able to cope with in the long run" she stepped away and looked towards she friends.
"But I kept a dark horse to myself, not even this person knew that I was relying on their opinion. . . Inuyasha"
She smiled at her hanyou friend.
"I knew that no matter what we were going through, in the end you were always there when I needed you most. Out of all the advice received, it was yours that made it clearer. Love is willing to take risks to assure your happiness."
She was now standing in front the two handsome demons.
"Kouga" she started "you have grown so much from the demon I once knew. You have grown stronger in both brawns and brains but your carefree nature remained and I love that about you. You are never scared to speak your mind, you are not embarrassed for your love of humans nor do you care that it is frown upon to many demons alike. With you, I will always know where I stand. The connection between us is truly undeniable. We are so much alike, but I don't know how I would feel knowing I would have to be the peacemaker amongst the wolf clans and the stress I would take having to protect an entire clan in your absence. After these last few years I just want to rest and rule over a home"
She saw the light dim a little in his eyes but confidence still remain.
"Sesshomaru" she spoke facing him "We have known each other for awhile now. True we weren't always friends but there was so much I found out about you. I love the fact that we can hold many conversations regardless of the topic. You make me think and challenge my mind to go places I never thought possible. I have to admit, though I understand your reasoning behind it, the fact we may have to keep our passion for one other secret from the public is very heartbreaking given my personality and original era where everyone flaunts there love and happiness"
Just like Kouga, he was a little on edge but remained hopeful.
"This is probably the biggest decision I have ever had to make in relations to myself. . . You both have wonderful qualities that I love and enjoy, but in the end, I have to pick the one whom I believe mutual love will remain in the long run" she took a deep breathe before continuing.
"I have chosen someone that I know for a fact that I will bump heads, argue, and I will challenge you because I am in no way submissive" she laughed "but I know that we will get through it no matter what"
She walked up to him and kissed him deeply.
She loves the way he holds her. So much love and desire.
No matter what, things always felt heated between the two.
It felt like a dreamy teenage love affair.
Exactly what she wanted.
". . . . Kouga"
