Hey guys! This is a story I have been dying to write yet never had the courage to write. It's a bit based in real life but the end is a wee bit different. Still, I wanted to share this moment with you all, to share a beautiful moment that can happen.

So please, after reading this story, close your eyes and see what Kagome saw, feel what she felt. If a smile appeared on you face, that's all I wish.

Good reading and take care

Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat, I do not own Inuyasha. bursts into tears

Warmth!

That was all she felt. It surrounded her, made her feel safe, and made anything feel possible. Her eyes slowly opened to see a sight more beautiful then the heavens above. It was a rare view; one she never thought was possible. Her heart fluttered, as she slowly caught her sigh from being heard. The moment held a stillness she dared not disrupt. In front of her he laid, looking like a fallen angel from the books she read about, from her secret untold fantasies.

This is a dream Kagome thought because the last thing she remembered wasn't this beautiful. Of course, how could it, when it concerned her heart and Inuyasha. Like always, they had another one of their fights. She couldn't stand being with him, couldn't trust herself to be so next to him and let her feelings slip. So she did what she did best lately, she ran away as fast as she could.

She remember running to her room and slamming the door. She threw herself on her bed and curled in a ball, letting her tears fall freely. Why can't I make them stop? Why can't I just feel friendship for Inuyasha? Why isn't it good enough? Inuyasha was in a fight that day and he almost died. Kagome remembered how she felt and her heart squeezed tight. Kagome held her pillow tight as she cried her fears and feelings away. Why can't I tell him how I feel, how I love him. How seeing him in battle scares me to death every time because I think it will be the last time I will see him, hear him, have him next to me. Kagome's eyes glazed over as she remembered their latest fight of the day.

"Inuyasha…. sit!" she screamed as loud as she could when she saw him victorious. He was having one of his proud smiles as he walked towards her like nothing happened.

"KAGOME! Why did you sit me wench? "He said as he let the rosary spell fade. He got up and walked up towards her, face to face.

"Why… why did you have to go after that monster, you were almost killed!" Kagome said, anger filled her body as she tried to hold back her tears. Tears of fear and of joy of him being all right.

"Kagome, what is wrong with you? He was a monster, I had to kill it." Inuyasha said

"… Why can't you just let someone else take care of it" Kagome whispered to herself as she bowed her head down.

"Kagome are you saying I'm a coward? That I can't take care of myself? You telling me I'm useless" a hint of anger and disappointment appeared in his voice as he stared into her eyes and asked.

"NO! But can't you stop fighting… I just had enough of it!" Kagome said. All her fears of losing him resurfaced and anger filled her for him not realizing how she felt.

"That's what I am Kagome, a fighter, a warrior. Put your head up and deal with it. I don't see you out there fighting!" as the words slipped out, Inuyasha greatly regretted them. He saw Kagome raise her head to see him in her eyes, anger clearly shown in her dark blue eyes.

"WHAT?... Deal with it?... DEAL WITH IT? I am here aren't I? I don't belong here but I stay here everyday. I see monsters, pain, suffering, death and I deal with it. What else do you want from me huh? Want me to run right in front of a monster, take a sword and attack it. Want me not to care about my own life or what my friends think and risk my life for killing one more monster. Is that what you want me to do Inuyasha, you want me to die! NO! I… I …"

Kagome felt her tears running, she felt her lips trembling.

"Inuyasha, I'm going home" she said as she grabbed her bag and ran as fast as she could. She heard him scream for her to come back but she didn't turn. She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt the trickling sensation of her tears leave her as she made her way towards the well.

Kagome closed her eyes and tried to control her breathing. Still Kagome thought, no time to think of the past when it feels miles away. What's important is NOW and now is truly important.

Kagome didn't know when, and didn't know how, but when she cried her heart out, she must have been so tired that she fell asleep. That's normal, I have done that before, when Inuyasha almost died when he went against Naraku Kagome thought, BUT this is different.

Kagome opened her eyes and still felt her heart flutter. Inuyasha was here this time, in her room. Yet what made her heart flutter wasn't the sight of Inuyasha in her room, it was the sight of Inuyasha IN her bed with her, sleeping next to her.

Kagome's eyes slowly took in the sight in front of her memorizing it in her head and heart forever. Inuyasha was on her bed, next to her, lying on his side. His face was so close to hers, that she only needed to lean her head to reach his lips, his sweet teasing lips. His head rested on his left arm, spreading his disheveled silky silver hair around his face, a face that looked so relaxed, so peaceful like a sleeping Prince. Yet the sight that teased her heart more, that made her heart sing was how he was next to her. His breathing was calm, relaxed. He looked so young, so innocent, a way she never saw him before. This is what made this moment so important, this is what made it more precious. This was Inuyasha, the real Inuyasha. Not the one being tough or brave, the one facing monsters every day, looking behind his back, no, this was the real Inuyasha. The relaxed face of a child who misses his mother, a man who desperately seeks for love he never had the chance to have in his life. This Inuyasha was more beautiful then any words could express or define, this was the Inuyasha Kagome saw everyday, from the first moment she laid eyes on him when he was pinned on the God tree. Kagome's eyes were mesmerized on him and his slow breaths. She noticed every detail, everything about him. From the way his chest slowly went up and down to how the bed slowly followed his movement. How his breathing made the bed tilt towards him, making Kagome's body lean towards Inuyasha and his warmth. Kagome's eyes was on his face and how pale and smooth his face looked. Kagome noticed a small scar he had at the tip of his chin. How didn't I ever see that scar before? Still, even the smallest flaw on his face made him seem even more beautiful, like her fallen archangel.

The sight of him so close to her warmed her heart. A sudden thrill went through her as she finally had the chance to see Inuyasha sleeping. I've never seen him sleeping, especially this close and especially like this, a smile of joy and serenity on his angelic face.

As the sight of Inuyasha's sleeping face so close to her didn't affect her enough, it was but the small part of what made this moment feel more like a dream. Kagome's eyes looked down to where she felt her skin tingle. It was as though a thousand butterfly wings teased her skin. But it wasn't butterflies on her waist that's weight tingled her, no; it was Inuyasha's right arm that encircled her waist like they were in an intimate lover's embrace.

Kagome carefully bit her lower lip to silence the sigh that threatened to escape her lips. Please don't let this be a dream, gods please! Don't let this be a dream! Kagome chanted to herself over and over wishing for this moment to be true. Yet part of her brain couldn't believe her, couldn't feel the wonder she had by being held by Inuyasha. Girl, wake up! This is a dream, one of your fantasy dreams. You know this isn't possible. Inuyasha must be in the feudal era, still mad at you because you left and ran home. Then why is he here, in my bed, holding me part of her mind argued, refusing to listen to her doubts and fears. Inuyasha would never hold you like this, never! The only person he would hold like this would be the person he loves and that's Kikyo, not you!

Kagome's body suddenly turned stiff by her fears as sudden tears threatened to fall. Kagome tried to take a deep breath by looking up at the ceiling, pleading to herself to not cry anymore. Maybe her body moved and she didn't notice, or maybe Inuyasha, even in his deep sleep, sense that Kagome was in pain because not long after her body stiffen did his arm around her gripped her tight and brought her closer to him, to his warmth.

Kagome didn't know what to think about what just happened. One minute her heart was slowly shattering while in the next the only thing that mattered was that she was in Inuyasha's arms and everything felt right. His grip on her was tight, unyielding yet he held her with such a softness, with a protectiveness that made her soul soar. Her head lay next to Inuyasha's chest as she could only hear the steady beat of his strong heart as his chin was on her forehead. Kagome closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment. Even if he loves Kikyo and not me, this moment is mine. This is my moment where I know how it would feel like to be held by Inuyasha, one that I will never forget, till the day I have no more life in me. I just wish, I wish that he loved me, truly loved me.

Kagome rubbed her face against his chest feeling the smooth material of his shirt tease her skin. Slowly, not to wake him, Kagome wrapped her arm around him, melting into him more, being as close to him as she could.

Inuyasha, even in his sleep, felt the sensation of her arm around him and rubbed his face against her hair, taking her scent into him. A sweet sigh escaped his lips as he whispered the name of the person he loved, of the one he thought was in his arms.

the end?

looks out carefully to see people armed with fruits to throw please don't kill me please. I'm sorry for the cliffhanger, but I just, I don't know, didn't want the story to end, not yet. An idea popped in my head, one I want to share with you all. Do you thinkIshould add another chapter, one from Inuyasha's point of view.

Well, I hoped you guys liked the story, thanks for reading, and let me know what you think

hugs
