Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Inuyasha is owned by Rumiko Takahashi.

I pulled on my sexy hot pink dress with a sigh. Tonight I was going out with my boyfriend, Inuyasha Takahashi. I skipped down the steps to see him there. We got in his car and drove to his house. He made us dinner and we sat down to eat. I saw the look in his eyes, blushed, and looked away.

"So," I said. "How was...work?"

"It was great!," he answered, "But all I could ever think about was you, Kagome." I didn't blush. I sighed in sadness. But he couldn't see that. He could only see that I was faking a smile.

I hate lying to him. I hate pretending that I'm okay with feelings for Kikyo.

And I hope deep inside that he will tell me that he loves me and only me. Suddenly, he takes my hand and leads me outside.

"Kagome? I would like to marry you because I love you.," he said, handing me a ring.

My eyes fill with tears.

I dare to let the word leave my lips.

"No!"

"No? But why, Kagome? I love you, and only you, Kagome!," he said. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha! I just don't think that you really love me! I think you still love Kikyo!," I told him. "I don't love Kikyo like that!," Inuyasha protested. Then he said more quietly, "I love you, Kagome. And I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

I kissed him. And I knew that it was all going to be okay.
