AN: This is another gift!fic written in response to the Christmas gift!fic post that I made at LiveJournal, offering a drabble or oneshot in the spirit of the season to those on my friends list that requested them. Once again, two of you gave me requests that complimented one another, so I combined them. But as the other pair I married, it is about twice the length I had originally planned on writing these.

Prompt from roxotaku - A small bit of IY/Kag FLUFF, post manga canon, with some hot passionate moments would be wonderful.

Prompt from magedelbene - Of course some I/K, post manga, when they meet again and they say what was not said before!

“Kaede?” Kagome called softly. She and the elder miko were working in her garden.

“Yes, child?” the old miko responded. Noticing the hesitancy in the young miko's voice she asked, “Is something troubling you?”

“No… well, yes,” Kagome answered. She paused before she questioned, “How does one go about getting married here?”

“What do you mean? You just get married. How does it happen in your time?” Kaede responded curiously.

Kagome sighed. “Can we sit for a few minutes?”

The old miko responded by nodding and gesturing to the rough-hewn bench by the edge of the garden - the one Kagome knew InuYasha put there for Kaede to use to rest when she was tired even though he'd denied knowing anything about it.

Kaede waited patiently until Kagome was ready to begin. Finally, she spoke, “There a number of ceremonies to get married where I'm from. We have the Shinto ceremony that we performed at the shrine I was raised at, but I know it won't become formalized for a few hundred more years from now. The Buddhist ceremony is even more recent than the Shinto one. And then there are those that have a Christian ceremony, but since I'm not sure what year we're really in, I don't know if the Portuguese have even landed yet. And I think some don't even bother with the ceremony. They just register their marriage with the government office and declare they're married.”

“So you want to know how to go about getting married here?” Kaede confirmed.

Kagome nodded in response. “I did some research during my spare time while I was in high school. This is such a confusing time period. The nobility seemed to have a ceremony, but it wasn't used by the common people, like those of this village. For commoners, during the early time periods the man would come to the girl's bed every night until she either bore him a child or her parents died. That overlaps the period where it begin to transition to the girl going to the man's home to work for his family while he worked for hers. Does the wife go to live with his family, or does he come to live with hers? And what if he has no family - that he lives with anyway, but then I consider you as family since I'm living with you - I'm so confused.

“And then I need to know - do I need a go between? Is the tea ceremony practiced here? Do we have to have anyone's approval?” She abruptly stopped that string of questions and asked instead, “What did Sango and Miroku do? They were pretty much in the same boat with no real family by blood here.”

Kaede looked serious, though even she was bewildered now after that barrage of questioning. “Do you have someone in mind? And what about your place as the village miko when I'm gone?”

The younger miko nervously twisted her hands in her wrap skirt that protected her hakama. She barely spoke above a whisper. “I miss my family, but I was able to return here because I thought I would eventually have one of my own. I would like to do both, but if I had to choose marriage over my miko duties, having a family would win.”

“I understand, and while I have lived a solitary life as a miko, there is no reason why you could not have both. I have heard of others that have done so and it does not seem to have affected their ability to help those that needed it,” Kaede responded. “And to answer your question, Miroku and Sango announced they were married to the headman.”

“Do you mind if I take the rest of the afternoon off? I have something I really need to take care of,” Kagome asked and then whispered, almost to herself, “I hope I haven't waited too long.”

Kaede nodded. “Aye, child, take all of the time you need. I can do the little that's left alone. Or even better, if you see Shippou or Rin, send them my way and I'll let them finish up.”

The young miko chuckled as she agreed and unwrapped her outer layer. She stopped by Kaede's hut to leave the garment and pick up her bow and quiver to go in search of one certain stubborn hanyou.

InuYasha had been within earshot when he heard Kagome ask Kaede about marriage. Panic set in as he considered who she might want to start a family with, and in fear of finding out, he took off.

He knew that a couple of the boys in the village had been trying to court her, though Kagome seemed oblivious to the entire thing. So far she had not accepted any of their gifts unless she thought they were being given to her in thanks for duties she'd performed around the village.

On the other hand, he had waited three years for her - three painful years in which he thought his heart would break, wondering if she would ever return. He had literally leaped into hell to follow her - something he was never truly willing to do for Kikyou. However, it had been over three moons since she had returned, and he had yet to reveal his feelings for her.

“InuYasha? InuYasha!” he heard her call his name. Resigning himself to his fate, he stopped and waited for her to catch up with him.

“InuYasha! There you are!” Kagome said happily, if a bit out of breath.

“You need help with something?” he asked, skirting the reason she was looking for him, and he certainly didn't want her to know he was eavesdropping.

“Just to talk to you. Can you take me somewhere that we won't be interrupted?” she asked, her cheeks flushing a pretty shade of pink.

In reply he offered her his back and she gratefully climbed on.

“How far do you want to go?” he asked quietly.

He felt her warm breath against his ear. “Far enough that we won't be disturbed by anyone, including nosy kitsune.”

“Hold on,” was the only warning he gave before he launched into the air.

As he flew across the treetops InuYasha wondered if she could feel his heart pounding in his chest like he could hers. He could tell she was nervous about something and had the sinking feeling it had to do with him - or rather telling him she was going to marry some human in the village. Remaining silent as the worst case scenarios raced through his head, he didn't slow until he had reached his destination - the high meadow overlooking the village where he went when he wanted to be completely alone.

He set her down without saying a word and then turned to look out over the world below while he waited for her to give him the bad news.

“InuYasha?” Kagome whispered, his silence unnerving her. “What's wrong?”

“Just say it already,” he bit back, trying not to come unraveled.

“Why do you have to make this so hard?” The tears that had formed in her eyes started to trail down her cheeks. “Why won't you let me just be with you?”

The hanyou spun around. “What?” he asked in a much softer tone. “You mean…”

“What did you think I wanted to talk to you about?” Kagome asked, wiping her face with the back of her hand.

“That you wanted to marry some human in the village - that you had decided to allow one of them to court you,” he confessed.

“Oh, InuYasha.” She took his hand in hers. “Why haven't you said anything?”

“I had so many things I wanted to say to you when you came back but then the others showed up and interrupted. It just seems there's never been another chance since you're always with someone. And then you started training to be a miko with Kaede… I… I just thought there was no room for me in your life,” he admitted.

“But then you thought I'd just go and randomly marry some strange boy from the village?” she asked, confusion in her voice.

“I'm still only hanyou, Kagome. That's not going to change,” he said in return.

She squeezed his hand. “InuYasha, do you understand why I came back - why the well worked again for me?”

“I hoped…” his voice trailed away.

“It was because I realized my life wasn't complete without you. I love you, InuYasha. The only man I want to marry, the only man I want to have a family with, is you.

“I've dreamed about it, InuYasha. I've dreamed about it for the three years we were apart.” She took his hand and placed it over her breast. “I've dreamed about you touching me, making love to me.”

The hanyou's eyes widened as he pulled his hand back.

The miko's tears fell again. “But you don't want that - you haven't dreamed that.”

“It… it's not that…” The hanyou's heart was pounding as he tried to say what he needed to. “It… It's just that every time I started to dream - being with you like… that - at some point you sat me and stormed away. I always ended up alone.”

“Is it true you checked the well every three days that whole time I was away?” Kagome asked in response.

The hanyou's eyes widened in surprise.

“Shippou told me,” she admitted.

“Stupid runt - needs to keep his nose in his own business,” InuYasha groused.

“But it's true,” she prodded.

He nodded in response.

“So you do love me,” she deduced. “But you're afraid.”

His cheeks flamed up.

“I'll take that as a `yes',” she said as she moved to him and took his hand in her own again.

She held his one hand to her chest as she pulled his face to hers for a kiss. Surprised, he didn't respond at first but with a little coaxing he finally relaxed. As he leaned into her he felt her hand follow the line of his neck and then gently down to his chest. Warmth and feelings he had no idea he'd been suppressing erupted to flood his body as their lips and tongues tangled together.

They finally had to pull apart to catch their breath and when InuYasha looked down into Kagome's stormy gray eyes, she was smiling. It was then he realized that her hand was gripping the rosary. She pulled it over his head and tossed it aside.

“You haven't needed that in a very long time, and I don't want you afraid that I will use it and then run out on you. And, I certainly don't want it to stop you from doing this.” Kagome took his hand and slipped it up under her garments to feel her bare breast.

His eyes opened wide in astonishment as he cupped the delicate mound of flesh in his callused palm. The hanyou was amazed at the way it seemed to be reacting to his touch as the nipple became taunt and peaked under his fingers. He blinked when he realized that she had somehow managed to shed her upper garments without his notice, so intent was he on the feel of her bare breast. Only now, both breasts were exposed. Not totally certain what to do, he cupped one in each hand and ran his thumbs across the nipples, causing Kagome to moan.

The next thing he knew her hands were all over him, pulling at the ties of his clothing until he stood blushing and nude before her. He stood in wonder and watched as she removed her hakama so that she was naked as the day she was born.

Kagome smiled softly as she moved to him. “InuYasha, I want you to make me your wife.”

“You mean… you want to… with me?” he asked, stunned at her bold declaration.

The young miko had finally figured out if anyone was going to make a move, it was probably going to have to be her. “Unless you want me to go to Kaede and have her arrange a marriage with someone from the village, or I guess I could go and see if Kouga still wants me. He's bound to be somewhere around if I looked hard enough.”

That woke InuYasha up. “I… what do I do?” he whispered.

She reached down to gently grasp his hardened cock that was waving like a flag in front of him with one hand while her other led a hand that had been caressing her breast down to the apex of her legs. She guided his fingers between her slick folds of flesh. “We are going to join as a man and woman were meant to.” She tugged on his erection. “I want to feel you inside of me.”

“I… I've never…” he admitted.

“I know,” she whispered. “It'll be the first time for both of us.”

Giving him no room to protest she pulled him to the soft grass. She lay on her back with her legs spread, and then guided him over her. His silver mane draped around them like a curtain and the emotions swirled across his golden eyes as he felt her legs wrap around his thighs. She drew him in closer and he exhaled in wonder when he felt the tip of his cock meet the wetness that was seeping out of her as it slipped between the folds of flesh and into the slit she had shown him with his fingers.

“Go ahead, slide in,” she encouraged as she ran her hands up and down his back to soothe him.

“Oh, fuck,” he exclaimed softly when he was fully seated inside of her. “I've never felt…”

“It feels good, doesn't it?” she asked in a gentle tone.

“I never imagined… I…” his lips found hers and demanded a kiss.

When he finally pulled back so that they could each catch their breath, she said, “It'll feel even better if you'll move in and out.”

“It won't hurt you?” he was dying for something to happen, but he wasn't certain what.

“It's the way we were meant to be - give it a try,” she pleaded. “I promise, you'll like it - and so will I.”

The hanyou pulled out and then pushed back in. He loudly gasped at the new sensations and repeated his actions.

“Keep going,” she encouraged. “And you can go harder and faster - you won't hurt me.”

InuYasha grinned and took her advice. He couldn't believe the feelings that were building in his lower regions - like he was about to explode.

And then, he did. He felt like Mt. Fuji erupting as he spilled himself inside of her. If he had any thoughts of pulling out they were stifled by her legs locked around him, firmly holding him in place as her nails dug into his back where she was clutching him.

He collapsed over her. Soon he realized that he was squashing her into the ground so he pulled his forearms in next to her torso in the cool grass and held most of his body weight off of her.

The hanyou felt one of her hands move and find its way to his ear so that she could rub it softly. Continuing her gentle ministrations, she asked, “So, did it feel good?”

InuYasha smirked. “Can we do it again?”

Kagome laughed softly. “When we're married we can do it as often as you like.”

“Can we consider ourselves married now?” he asked seriously. “Can't you come to live with me tonight?”

“You have somewhere for us to live?” she asked, surprised.

He nodded. “I have had for a long time. I wanted to ask you when you first came back, but once the others showed up… well, like I said, nothing went like I planned.”

And then he became very serious. “You know that some of the villagers won't be happy about this. Some will be upset that you decided to marry one with youkai blood, and others will be unhappy that you decided to marry at all. That was the other reason I never told you how I felt - I don't want you to be ostracized from the village.”

“InuYasha,” she said as she stroked his cheek with her thumb. “I loved you so much that my heart reopened the well so that I could return to you. I can only truly be happy if I am with you. We will go to the headman tomorrow and announce that we are married. After that, we'll take it one day at a time.

“Now, do you want to make love to me again out here, or do you want to take me and show me my new home?” Kagome smiled at him.

“Can't we do both?” the excited hanyou answered.

“Yes, my horny hanyou, we can do it as many times and wherever you want to, within reason. And you can touch me any place you want - I'll let you know if I don't like it.” Kagome had to stifle a giggle as he eagerly began to explore her body, though she couldn't help but to moan and arch her back as he tentatively pulled a breast into his mouth.

She would let him have his way with her, and then later, she would take her turn. She would explore his body until he was exhausted and then begin to teach him ways to pleasure her. The miko also realized there was no rush because she fully intended to spend the rest of her life with him. However, right now was all about making him realize just how much she wanted him and how much of her he could have.

The miko also wondered if her mother had started cleaning out her room yet, finding all of her hidden secrets and treasures - including the collection that contained amongst other things one very large shocking pink battery operated dildo. However, her attention was averted back to the very pleased hanyou looming over her. Reaching down to help guide him back into her to begin again, Kagome couldn't help but to think that the real thing with the man she loved was so much better.

Not to mention, she'd never have to worry about buying batteries again.
