Otaru: Hello everyone. This is your friendly, albeit insane, fanfic writer Otaru. I'm testing out my muse by writing this short piece of sap that I got the idea for while watching my InuYasha fansubs.

Yamato: I tried to talk him out of it.

Otaru: Ignore him and enjoy. BTW, I eat flames for breakfast. Now if you will Yamato.

Yamato: Otaru doesn't own Inuyasha-tachi. Even though he wishes he did. So don't sue because he barely has enough money to feed himself Ramen twice a week.

Otaru: On to the fic…

My Will

By Inuyasha-kun (a.k.a. Otaru)

'Why? Why do you always treat me like dirt? Can't you see I care? Are you blind to my feelings? I guess you are because you always call me stupid. The words don't really hurt as much as when you are silent when I ask you about your feelings for her. Why can't you just say you still love her so I can have my heartbreak in one large lump instead of it being spread out every time I ask? The truth hurts, but not as much as guessing at the truth and not knowing for sure.'

'I have made my decision. I am going to confront you. I will let my feelings spill out. If you reject me then so be it. Your rejection will hurt, but at least I will know that you don't love me and I can start to heal. It will be awkward working with you, but its better than faking happiness all the time.'

When I return I find Shippo waiting for me at the well. With a quick hello and a hug I leave the confused kitsune to wait for me at Kaede's while I look for you. I find you, as usual, at the Go-Shinboku tree watching me approach. "Inuyasha, can you come down here for a moment? I want to tell you something and I would like it if you were down here."

"Feh." I expected as much a response out of him. He always says that when I ask him to do something.

"Don't make me say 'it'." He gives it a moment's thought and then jumps down looking slightly angry, but I don't care.

"Inuyasha, I want you to know why I want to know why I have been asking you about how you feel for Kikyo and before you start to rant just listen to me. Aishiteru Inuyasha, aishiteru. I have loved you for a long time now. I didn't say anything before because by the time I realized it Kikyo had returned and I knew you still cared for her."

For what seems like forever we both just stand there in silence and then he goes to speak. "Before you say anything Inuyasha." With that I take him in my arms and I give him a hug never wanting to let go of him, but knowing I must. He surprises me when he starts to nuzzle his face in my hair. "Inu… yasha???"

"Silly girl… I stopped loving Kikyo a long time ago. She is my obligation now. Nothing more." He lifts my chin and moves his lips towards mine. Right before we make contact I hear his feather soft whisper. "Aishiteru Kagome- chan." Then our lips are against each other's and I feel myself returning his kiss thankful that I got up the courage to finally tell him. As I lose myself in him I hope to have many more moments like this. Being so close to my one and only Inuyasha.

Otaru: I look forward to C&C, but not to flames.

Yamato: Help Me!

Otaru: Hush!
