Chapter One: Will You Be Mine, Forever?

Everyone sat in a circle. After long convincing and a lot of ‘sits’, Inuyasha had finally agreed to taking a break from jewel hunting. Everyone was bored out of their minds. They didn’t know what to do.

“I’m bored.” Kagome said. It was their second day of their two week long break. Yesterday they had swam in the river and played games.

“Feh, then why don’t we get back to searching for the jewel shards?” Inuyasha said.

“Inuyasha! We’re taking two weeks off and that’s final!” Kagome yelled.

“Feh, we’re not doing anything, we might as well.” He replied.

“For you information, I was going to suggest an idea!”

“It couldn’t possible be better than looking for the jewel shards!” He snapped. He then waited for the well-deserved ‘sit’.

“Inuyasha, you’re such a jerk! Sit!” Kagome yelled. Kagome turned to the rest of the group, to find them shaking their heads at the stubborn hanyou.

“What was your idea Lady Kagome?” Miroku asked.

“Well, I thought that maybe we could all go to my time. There’s a lot of stuff to do there!” Kagome explained.

“That’s a great idea!” Sango said.

“Yes, it is a good idea. But how are we going to pass through the well?” Miroku questioned.

“Well, I could transfer some of my miko energy to Sango and Shippo and Inuyasha could transfer some of his demon energy to Miroku!” Kagome explained.

“I’m not transferring any of my energy to that lecher!” Inuyasha yelled after the spell had finally wore off.

“Inuyasha! I can’t transfer my energy to all three of them! I won’t have any energy left for me!” Kagome complained.

“Feh, maybe then you wont whine so much”

“Sit!” Kagome yelled. “Come on you guys! If I die, I die. Inuyasha wouldn’t care! After all, I’m just a jewel detector!”

“Kagome, I’m sure he didn’t mean it like that” Sango said.

“Well, I’m sure he did. Sango, Shippo, come on!” Kagome replied and began to walk away with Shippo and Sango following behind her. Sango looked back to Miroku and gave him a look. Miroku nodded, showing that he understood what she was thinking.

“I can’t believe him! The nerve!” Kagome yelled as she was walking.

“Don’t worry about it Kagome! Inuyasha is just a big meanie and not to mention a stupid head!” Shippo yelled.

“I heard that you runt!” Inuyasha yelled.

“Oops...” With that, Kagome grabbed Sango’s hand and held Shippo as she focused her miko energy on them.

“All right, jump on three. 1...2...3!” They jumped into the well and were engulfed with the blinding white light, which Kagome had never really gotten used to. Once on the other side, they climbed out of the well and Kagome told Sango and Shippo to stay in the well house. Kagome quickly ran to her room and grabbed something. ‘Perfect. Just the was to get back at Inuyasha... It’s a shame that Miroku has to suffer as well... Oh well! He can deal with it!’ Kagome thought evilly. With that she ran down stair where she bumped in with her mother.

“Oh, Kagome! You’re home!” her mother said.

“Ya, hi mom, no time to talk right now. Be back in a minute!” Kagome yelled and rushed outside, where she saw Sango and Shippo standing outside of the well house. Staring at their surroundings in awe. Kagome smacked her hand across her forehead, but forgot that she was holding a hard object in her hand.

“Ow... that hurt...” Kagome mumbled. “I thought I told you guys to stay in the well house!” Kagome yelled as she ran towards them.

“Well, we got curious...” Sango said still in awe.

“Didn’t you know that curiosity killed the cat?” Kagome asked.

“Aww! The poor Kitty! Why?” Sango yelled.

“Sango, it’s just and expression...”

“What?”

“Never mind... Come on I have a plan to get Inuyasha back” Kagome said and led them back into the well house. Kagome got prepared and Sango and Shippo just watched in confusion. They didn’t know what the contraption was that Kagome was holding up to her eye. Kagome saw the white light and got ready. Inuyasha jumped out of the well, carrying Miroku.

Flash

“Yes! I got you!” Kagome shouted as did happy dance around the well house.

“What the heel woman! What was that?’ Inuyasha yelled.

“Ahh! My eyes!” Miroku whined as he felt around with his hands so he could tell where he was going. Miroku ‘accidentally’ headed right towards Sango, with his hands having a destination... her breasts.

Slap

“Hentai!” Sango yelled.

Kagome was still prancing around with Inuyasha yelling at her. Sango had a pissed off look on her face. Miroku was rolling on the floor screaming that he was blind. Shippo was just plain old confused. After Inuyasha stopped yelling and Kagome stopped running around, everything began to calm down. Except for Miroku, who was still rolling around on the floor.

“Miroku...” Kagome started.

“I can’t see! I’m blind!”

“Miroku...” Kagome tried again.

“No! Now I’ll never be able to see Sango’s beauty again!” This comment made Sango blush.

“Miroku! Open your damn eyes!” Inuyasha yelled. Suddenly the crying stopped and Miroku opened his eyes to find everyone laughing at him.

“Hehe... oops...” Miroku stuttered.

“Well, lets go you guys! Sango and Shippo already saw outside, even after I told them to stay in here...” Kagome glared at them.

“Sorry?” Sango said.

“You’re forgiven!” Kagome said and opened the doors. Everyone except Inuyasha and Kagome were amazed.

“Wow this is amazing!” Sango said.

“Sango, you saw it before...” Kagome stated.

“Yes, but I was just speechless then. Now I’m speaking how I fell” Sango explained.

“Oh...” Kagome said. “Well, lets go inside then! I want you to meet my mother, my brother, and my grandpa!” Kagome said and grabbed Sango’s hand to lead her to the old shrine.

“Well, I guess you have to lead me Inuyasha” Miroku said and stuck out his hand. That earned him a bump in the head from Inuyasha. Inuyasha walked off toward the shrine. Then he jumped up into a tree and crept into a window. He then laid down and waited for Kagome to come up and get him.

Sango, Kagome, and Shippo

“Wow, this is so awesome Kagome!” Shippo gasped.

“Yes Kagome this is very nice of you. Thank you for inviting us.” Sango thanked.

“Oh it’s no problem!” she said as she opened the door to the old shrine. She could hear Sango’s and Shippo’s gasp. The door opened to a kitchen, dining room, and family room. In the kitchen stood her mother, standing over the stove making what smelled like tea. In the dining room, her grandfather was sitting down reading the newspaper. In the family room, Souta, Kagome’s little brother, was playing video games.

“Mom! I’m home for about two weeks! I brought my friends with me!” Kagome yelled to her mother. Her mother turned around to find her daughter standing with another woman and holding what looked like a small fox boy.

“Hello Kagome! Who might your friends be?” Ms. Higurashi asked.

“Hey mom! This is Sango,” she pointed to Sango, “and this is Shippo! They’re my friends from feudal era!” Kagome explained.

“Oh! How nice to finally meet you! Kagome talks about you guys all the time whenever she’s here!” She said and bowed. Sango and Shippo bowed also.

“I bet she talks about Inuyasha the most though. I wonder why that is...” came a voice behind them, which made Kagome and Sango scream.

“Miroku! Don’t do that!” Sango growled.

“My apologies Sango,” Miroku looked over to find Kagome’s mother standing in confusion, “And who might this lovely lady be?” Miroku asked and took a step forward.

“Miroku you better not...” Kagome began to say.

“May I ask you a question?”

“Why yes you may” Kagome’s mother replied.

“Houshi-sama...” Sango growled again.

“Will you bare...” Miroku was cut off by a fist coming into contact with his head.

“I’m sorry. Excuse him, he’s not in his right mind” Sango explained kindly.

“Oh, well does he need to see a doctor?” she asked with concern.

“Mom, may I please speak with you?” Kagome asked.

“Oh, yes” she responded. Kagome and her mother walked into another room.

“Mom, that’s Miroku. When Sango said that he wasn’t in his right mind, she meant that well...he is very... um... well... perverted...” Kagome stuttered. She didn’t know how her mother would react.

“Oh, well alright then!” Kagome’s mother responded. “How long will you be staying?”

“About two weeks... I hope that is alright...”

“That is just fine dear. But Souta, Gramps, and I will be gone for about a week.” she said.

“Oh, alright. Where are you going?”

“We are visiting family. I would offer for you to come but I know you don’t like Aunt Mimi very much.”

“Oh... yeah, you’re right on that one...” Kagome replied.

“Kagome I trust you to not do anything I wouldn’t approve of. I know you have feelings for Inuyasha. Sweetie, I think you should tell him” Kagome blushed.

“But mom, I can’t he doesn’t return the same feelings.

“You never know until you try...”

“Okay, I’ll tell him... for you”

“Don’t do it for me, do it for you”

“Okay! Thank mom! I love you!” Kagome said as she hugged her mother.

“I love you too sweetie” Kagome’s mother began to walk a way. “ Oh and Kagome?”

“Yes?” she replied as she followed.

“Just be sure to use protection” Ms. Higurashi said plainly and walked back into the kitchen. Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. Did her mother really just say that? She continued walking back into the kitchen, still in disbelief that her mother had said that. ‘Was that a joke?’ Kagome thought. Kagome looked at her mom, then at Sango, Shippo and lastly Miroku.

“Hey, where’d Inuyasha go?” Kagome asked.

“I saw him jump into a window outside after he hit me” Miroku responded.

“He must be in my room. I’ll go get him. We have to go shopping for cloths for you guys” Kagome said and quickly ran upstairs to her room. She slowly opened her door and peered into her room. She found Inuyasha laying on her bed. She assumed he was sleeping.

Inuyasha POV

I heard Kagome come up the stairs and open the door. I was going to turn over and apologize to her for what I said earlier but I heard her mutter to herself. She thought I was asleep. I changed my mind and decided to play along.

Regular POV

Kagome walked around her bed. She looked at the hanyou laying on her bed and smiled.

“He looks so cute when he sleep” Kagome muttered. “If only I could tell you how I feel about you Inuyasha. But I’m afraid to tell you. I’m afraid of getting my heart ripped out. I don’t want to find out the truth. The unbearable truth that you love Kikyo and not...me” Kagome shredded a tear. She shut her eyes tight trying to stop the impending tears that had been held back for too long. To stop her barriers from breaking. But it was too much for her to handle anymore. Her barriers, the ones that she had held up for so long were crumbling, like ashes. Tears fell one by one until her barrier, her shield for the pain she held within her hear, was completely broken. There was only one thing that could possibly give her hope for true happiness. That was to here a certain three words come form the one she cherished. For Inuyasha to say, ‘I love you’. Now, Kagome’s face was buried in her hands. Waterfalls were coming from her chocolate eyes.

“Why can’t you love me, and only me Inuyasha?” Kagome muttered. Seconds later, she heard her name being called. She removed her hands from her face, and lifter her head. Brown eyes met gold eyes.

Inuyasha POV

I was in shock. I couldn’t believe my ears, but my ears don’t lie. How could someone who smiles all the time be so sad? And because of me. I didn’t know what to do. I had two options. I could stay quiet and let her cry or I could comfort her and put an end to her pain. It kills me to see her cry, especially when it is because of me. I have to do something.

Regular POV

Inuyasha called out her name, afraid to do anything other than that. When Kagome met Inuyasha’s gaze she gasped. Was he awake? Inuyasha pulled Kagome off of the floor and into his lap and looked into her eyes, filled with pain. She starred back, not knowing what to do. Her mind was screaming for her to run and get out of there, to shield her pain again. But her body wouldn’t respond. It was like she was frozen. All she could do was stare into his deliciously golden orbs.

“Kagome, why where you crying?” Inuyasha asked.

‘I... I don’t... want to... talk about it... please...” Kagome replied.

“Alright, I’ll let it go for now as long as you promise to tell me later” he said kindly.

“I promise Inuyasha” Kagome replied. Inuyasha smiled.

“Now lets go downstairs before the lecher comes up with reasons why we’re taking so long” Inuyasha said and lifted Kagome off of his lap. He didn’t want that moment to end, holding her in his lap, he wished it would have lasted forever. But he knew what Miroku would think if they took too long. It’s not that Inuyasha cared what the lecherous monk thought. It’s just that Inuyasha knew that he would blab that huge mouth of his in front of Kagome’s mother. And he didn’t want Kagome’s mother to think badly of him.

Kagome whipped her face, riding her staggering tears. She walked over to her mirror. Just what she expected. Her eyes were red. Kagome got out her make up and began the long process of coving it up.

“What are you doing woman?” Inuyasha asked. He was beginning to get annoyed. She had been standing there, face up to her mirror, applying substances to her face for five long minutes. Kagome didn’t reply. About a minute later Kagome spun around to face Inuyasha.

“Done!” she squeaked. She had on black eyeliner and light blue eye shadow. The read around her eyes was completely gone and... oh when Inuyasha looked at her, he couldn’t help but notice her shiny and glossy lips. Kagome smiled at him.

“You must like it because you’re drooling!” Kagome giggled. Inuyasha snapped out of his lustful thoughts and whipped off his slobber with his sleeve.

“Feh, let’s just go wench” Inuyasha turned his head so she wouldn’t see him blushing.

“Aww, is Yashie embarrassed?” Kagome asked.

“Fe... Yashie? What the hell woman! First you’re angry, then you’re hyper, then you’re sad, and now you’re giving me a weird nickname?” Inuyasha yelled.

“Yes...” she simply replied.

“Ugh! You are so damn confusing!” Inuyasha smacked his head with his hand.

“Yes yes! This is usually what they say about women..”

“Women? It’s just you!”

“Hmm... Well, the experts say that women in general confuse men. So that must mean that you’re stupid!” Kagome said.

“Listen to what you’re saying! You call me stupid?”

“Hmm... You’re right... You’re not stupid...”

“I...I’m right?”

“Yep!”

“Oh, well of course I am! I’m always right!”

“You’re not stupid Inuyasha... you’re a retard”

“Oh yea, who’s right? I’m right... Hey! What in the seven hells is that supposed to mean?”

“It means... that you’re... mentally retarded.. coo-coo in the brain... slow... mentally ill... crazy.. and I can’t forget psycho!” Kagome explained.

“I think you have the wrong person...”

“What? Aagh! No! That means the crazy person in still on the loose! We have to catch him Inuyasha!”

“How are you going to catch yourself?” Inuyasha muttered.

“Come on Inuyasha! I can smell the suspect a mile a way!’ she grabbed his hand and led him secretively down the hallway. She came to the stairs and quickly flung her back to the wall, bringing Inuyasha with her.

“Ow, wench! Watch what you’re doing!” Inuyasha yelled, blushing at the contact their hands were making.

“Shh! Inuyasha! We have to be quiet! The suspect is downstairs! He’ll here us!” Kagome yelled in a whisper.

“What’s going on up there you two?” came a voice from downstairs.

“Oh no! Mom! Don’t blow our cover!” Kagome yelled.

“Oh yea, that’s real secretive...” Inuyasha muttered.

“Oh okay honey! I’ll pretend that your invisible and that you’re not upstairs hiding behind the wall by the stairs, getting ready to pounce your little brother!” Kagome’s mother yelled back.

“How do you know I’m going to pounce Souta?” Kagome yelled back.

“Well... wait... what are... Aagh!” Kagome mother screamed and ran. Kagome laughed evilly.

“You’re gong to pounce your mother?” Inuyasha yelled.

“Yup!”

“You really are crazy!”

“No! I’m the sane one... in pursuit of the crazy one!” Kagome retorted and stuck out her tongue. Inuyasha grabbed her tongue in between his fingers and Kagome went wide-eyed.

“Ithuyatha! Thut ae ou thoing?” Kagome yelled. (Translation: “Inuyasha! What are you doing?)

“You’ve been hanging out with Shippo too much...” he responded.

“Thit!” (A/N: I don’t think you need a translation for this one...)

Thud

“One down... Five to go...” Kagome laughed evilly and crept downstairs, continuing her pursuit to find her mother. She noticed Sango, Miroku, and Shippo in the kitchen.

“Hey guys! Did you guys happen to see where my mother went?” Kagome asked sweetly.

“Uh...no?”

“Try again...”

“I’ll help you track her down with my nose Kagome!” Shippo yelled.

“Shippo!” Sango and Miroku yelled.

“What? She just wants to find her mom...”

“Yes, see? I just want to find my mom” Kagome said and shot a glare at Miroku and Sango.

“Let’s go Kagome1 I can smell her!” Shippo began walking out of the kitchen, Kagome following close behind. Shippo led Kagome into a dark room. She felt around for a light switch but to no avail.

“Shippo, where’s the light switch?” Kagome asked.

“What’s that?”

“Ugh, never mind. I found it” she flicked on the lights only to find her mother standing in front of her with and evil grin.

“Mom...”

“You were going to pounce me weren’t you?”

“...no?...”

“Wrong answer sweetie” she replied and got ready to tackle her daughter.

“Uh... I love you mom!” Kagome tried.

“Nope... one more try...”

“Uh... Mom... I have something to tell you... Buyou is dead...” Kagome lied.

“What?” Her mother screamed.

“Bye bye!” Kagome turned around to make a run for it but bumped into something hard and red. Kagome slowly looked up and saw the one and only Inuyasha. Inuyasha had the smile of the devil’s child.

“Hi Inuyasha! No time to talk! Gotta run!” But before she could get as far as five feet, she was tackled to the ground. She swiftly turned her body so that she would land on her back. Inuyasha ended up on top of her straddling her waist and tickling her sides while he laughed evilly.

“I... Inu... yasha!... st.. stop!” Kagome yelled between giggles.

“Hmm... nope...” He replied.

“Please! I’ll...do...anything” Inuyasha stopped and bent down and whispered into her ear.

“Will you be mine forever?” he whispered with a hint of lust in his voice. Kagome’s eyes widened. Was he just kidding around? Or was he serious? Kagome just froze, not knowing what to say or do. Inuyasha smirked and got off of her.

“Come on, didn’t you say you wanted to go shopping?” Inuyasha asked.

“Oh...yea...let’s...go...” she replied still in a daze.
