Desclaimer: i don't own Inuyasha

Eventually
Inuyasha looks up at the sky and thinks about the last thing he had said to
Kagome. 'You're such a useless wench! The only thing your good at is
finding jewel shards!' That was all he said 'cause as soon as those words
came out of his mouth and he saw her face grim and her eyes filled with
tears, he wished he could take them back.

Somewhere in the quiet of the night
Beneath the stars and moon
We both know we've got somethin' on our minds
We won't admit but it's true
I look at you, you look away

He didn't mean to yell at her or say those awful things to her. He was just
upset because he had let Naraku get away again and because Inuyasha thought
he did not deserve any of Kagome's reassurance. He had hurt her again
without meaning to and it was his entire fault that she was crying yet
again. Why did he always have to hurt her and say he didn't care when in
fact he did care.

I wanna tell you what I'm feelin'
But I don't know how to start
I wanna tell you but now I'm afraid
That you might break my heart
Oh why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do
I wanna tell you what I'm feelin and to say that
I love you

Why is it that he couldn't just come out and tell her straight out that he
loved her instead of pushing her away? WHY? Was it because he thought she
did not love him in return? Was it because he couldn't find the right words
or the right moment? Was it because he was afraid to say he loved her in
front of all the others?

I write down all the things that I could say
Line by line, every word
I tell myself today will be the day
Bout every time I loose my nerve
You look at me, I look away

No, none of these were preventing him from telling Kagome how much he cared
for her; it was his own fear. His fear that if he gave her his heart she
would break it or abuse it in some sort of way. He was afraid that if he
finally told her that he loved her, he would die 'cause that was his one
reason, other to become a full fledged demon, to live. He was afraid that
if he told her he loved her, if he finally heard him say those three
wonderful words; that she would die; just like Kikyo did.

I wanna tell you what I'm feelin'
But I don't know how to start
I wanna tell you but now I'm afraid
That you might break my heart
Oh why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do
I wanna tell you what I'm feelin and to say that
I love you

And so he could not tell her for he did not wish for her death. He would
tell her eventually, when they destroyed Naraku but they would just have to
bear it 'til then. He would still protect her no matter the 'causes and he
would always, always...be by her side. He could still be nice to her,
couldn't he?

Why, why do you turn away
It must mean you're afraid like me
I try, I try, but I can't pretend that I
Don't feel for you
The way I do
Can't you see

Inuyasha began walking to the well. Kagome had gone back home because of
him. Inuyasha looked down at the well, only to be greeted by darkness. An
image of Kagome came to his eyes. He blinked it away silently and kept on
looking down into the well. After a while Inuyasha jumped into the well;
his mind finally mad up on what to do next. He made his way to Kagome's
room and found that she was asleep. Inuyasha turned around and was about to
leave when his ears picked up Kagome's sleepy voice.

"Inuyasha? Is that you?"

"Kagome I'm sorry for yelling at you. I was just mad at myself and-"

"Inuyasha, I know. I accept your apology."

Inuyasha smiled at her understanding and was a little shocked at the words
that left her mouth next.

"Inuyasha? Can you stay with me tonight? We can share the bed. You can have
this side, okay?"

Inuyasha nodded his head and layed down on his side of the bed. 'I'll tell
her...eventually,' were his last thoughts as he fell into a blissful sleep.
