Inuyasha sat on his favourite branch, on his favourite tree..watching his favourite thing in the whole world. Even if he would admit it…Kagome..his Kagome. The gang were all asleep, Sango with Kilala, Miroku sat against a tree with his staff between his legs, and Kagome and Shippo in her sleeping bag, near the fire. Inuyasha often was jealous of how close Shippo was to Kagome, and often wanted to take his place. He was brought out of his thoughts, when Kagome stirred in her sleep. He jumped down to get a better look, she was sweating, and was tossing and turning.

"Inuyasha…" She whispered.

Inuyasha's ear twitched at his name. 'She's having a nightmare about me?'

She stirred again. "Inuyasha, please…stay with me…don't leave…"

He sat there in amazement and shock, 'How could she think that I would ever leave her…' He thought to himself

'Are you stupid? You tell her she's nothing more then a shard detector to you,'

'Who are you?'

'I'm you you idiot!'

'She's more then just a stupid shard detector to me…'

'That's not what she thinks, and you told her YOURSELF! And not to mention that everytime that Kikyo shows up, you leave…for her!'

'That doesn't mean that I don't love Kagome!…wait do I love Kagome?'

'Duh! I don't know why I bother even talking to you'

'You are me remember?'

'Shut up.'

He fought with himself, and Kagome's whimper brought him back once again. He couldn't take seeing her in pain, he shook her gently awake. "Kagome, wake up Kagome, you were having a nightmare. Kagome.."

She woke up slowly, and finally opened her eyes, when they were focused, the first person she saw was a man with golden eyes, 'Inuyasha' She thought as she threw herself into his arms. Inuyasha blushed, and just held her. 'She smells so good.'

When Kagome realized what she did, she pulled away and blushed a deep crimson. "Sorry." She whispered.

Inuyasha smiled at her shyness. "It's okay,"

Kagome kept her eyes away from his intense stare. "Goodnight Inuyasha." She laid back down, and rolled over, for her back was facing him.

Inuyasha sighed slightly, and his smile disappeared. "Night." He jumped back into his tree. "How can I tell her how I truly feel…she clearly doesn't feel the same way…"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Inuyasha woke up to the scent of salt, he opened his eyes, and his ears twitched, he saw Kagome walking towards the forest, he wondered if it had to do with last night and the nightmare, he wanted to find out, so he followed. He stopped and hid behind a tree, when Kagome stopped. She kneeled to the ground, and just sat there. Inuyasha was about to show himself, when she whispered something, that only he could manage to pick up.

"Why, why do I do this to myself…everytime it's the same thing." She started.

'What is she talking about?' Inuyasha thought to himself,

As if she read his mind, she continued. "Inuyasha…why do I…" She paused, for a sob. "I love you…? When you will just leave…for h-her.." The intensity of the sobs, shook her entire body. That's when Inuyasha chose to reveal himself, from his hiding place.

"Kagome..?" He started,

She stopped sobbing..and started wiping her tears away. "I just tripped, I'm fine…I just wanted to clean up, I'll be back to camp soon…" She lied, not knowing that he was there the entire time.

Inuyasha walked up behind her, and lifted her up, embraced her. "I heard everything…now tell me..what was your nightmare last night?" Inuyasha asked still embracing the young women.

"It was just a nightmare…no big deal," She broke the embrace, but he pulled her back, took her chin in his hands. "Tell me what it was about…please?"

She nodded, and sat down, bringing him down with her. "You left…me….for…K-kikyo.." She finished with short sobs.

Inuyasha nodded and embraced her once again, this time whispering in her ear, "That will never happen…because I love you Kagome.."

Kagome gasped and he took that opportunity to capture her lips.

--There yah have it…another Fanfiction of mine….not one of my best…but I had this idea floatin in my head….and yah I think its better left in my head….im not sure if this makes much sense…but yeah anyways…please no flames…--
