The Boy Who Overcame Time
Chapter 6

Kagome stood looking out the full plate glass window of Inu Yasha's townhouse looking at Tokyo, lightly rubbing her upper arm. The police reports were filed and Hojo now sat in jail awaiting trial for attempted murder and kidnapping. She and Inu Yasha had not spoken since leaving the police station hours ago. They had communicated most needs with out words. Mostly they had each been wrapped within their own thoughts. They had dozed some on the couch, 'That had been nice' she thought. Remembering awakening with her head resting on his shoulder, his silver hair mixing with hers. She turned her head to look at him sleeping, 'He always looks so peaceful when he's asleep. All the cares and worries gone.' She smiled to herself, thinking how much she missed sleeping in the treetops with him. Realizing she was starving, Kagome tip toed out of the den.

Inu Yasha's eyes flew open the moment she left the room. He sniffed the air and caught her scent, his ears twitched and caught the sound of her opening the refrigerator. He stood and stretched then padded softly to the kitchen. "Kagome" she flinched at the sound of his voice, "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. I'm gonna hop in the shower. You probably want one to. I'll show you the shower in the guest room."

"Thanks." She followed him down the hall, it wasn't what she wanted to hear or do. She wanted, no needed to tell him, what her wish was, how she felt about him. He opened the third door on the left and motioned for her to go in. She was amazed, the room was decorated with all the expensive things she loved but had never been able to afford.

"The bathrooms right here." He said opening the door on the right. "There are clothes in the closet, that should fit. Just let me grab a quick shower. Then we can stay here and talk or go out and get something, you're choice." He smiled softly at her and turned to leave.

"Inu Yasha?" he turned back to look at her. They stood staring at each other the awkward silence growing. He watched as the tears welled in her eyes, he crossed the room quickly and took her in his arms.

"Kagome. please don't cry." He whispered gently to her.

"You could have died." her fears for him finally being given voice, broke through the wall she had been erecting around herself. "You could have died, and I never told you, never answered. I don't ever want you to change, If I wanted a human boy I'd have been with him." He heard the venom in her voice and knew she would never say the name of Hojo Takeda again. "I want you, half demon, silver hair, fangs, claws, and all. Inu Yasha I love you."

"I know." He said gently wiping the tears from her face with one clawed finger, "I felt your answer. When I was driving this morning, before the sun rose I felt you. I can only guess it was when you admitted your feelings to yourself, and accepted me as your mate." He gently lifted her into his arms and sat with her on the bed. Gently he lifted her chin, so that he could look in her eyes. "I am. You know."

"You are what?"

"Yours." He bent his head and kissed her. Softly at first, then as her lips parted he showed her with his kiss, his passion. He gently nipped at her lower lip as he broke the kiss and took a deep ragged breath. "Tell me now," he softly growled "Do you wish to continue this or do you wish a shower and food?"

"This" She answered raising her lips to his once again.

"Thank God!" She laughed at him as he fell backwards with her still in his arms onto the bed.



Nine Months Later

Sesshomaru watched the black haired man pace the hospital waiting room, 'Luckily' he thought 'my brothers whelp decided to make his entrance on the new moon.' He could hear Inu Yasha's human mate's cries of pain and smell the blood. He looked at his watch, 'It is early yet. I still have time to make my monthly visit to the mental hospital.' He smiled at the thought of the fear that foolish mortal showed. He had been surprised when his human sister-in-law had approached him to as she put it "Never let him forget that he attacked Inu Yasha and I. I promised Inu Yasha that Hojo would pay but not by his hand, but I don't have fangs, claws and silver white hair." Sesshomaru actually enjoyed his trips even if he did have to wear a red kimono. Nothing would dissuade Hojo Takeda from his "delusions" of a demon with silver hair, claws, fangs and huge sword jumping out of a tree.

"What are smirking at?" Inu Yasha demanded of his brother.

"Why you little brother." He picked up a copy of The Wall Street Journal as Inu Yasha's in-laws entered.

"Well? Any news?" Mrs. Higurashi asked walking over to hug Inu Yasha. She lifted a lock of black hair and raised an eyebrow. Souta smiled at his brother-in-laws new look.

Inu Yasha just shrugged, he'd get Kagome to explain later. "No, nothing yet."

"Mr. Yasha?"

"Yes?"

"Your wife and son are doing fine, the doctor will be out in just a moment to speak with you."

A short time later the doctor appeared. "Inu....er um Miroku," Shippo pulled his mask down and smiled "Kagome and your son are both doing fine. He's a perfectly normal little boy, he even has his fathers ears."

"My ears huh?" Inu Yasha smiled, it was that happy goofy smile that only new fathers get.
