Author's Note: I was inspired to do this collection of loving one-shots because I've just finished the' Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play'series by Yu(u) Watase, which was a truly beautiful manga! So thanks, to Tamahome/Taka and Miaka's love for one another, I decided to use that love for a foundation to the love within the InuYasha series!

Special Note: I believe 'wo ai ni' means something on the terms of 'I love you' in Chinese, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Disclaimer: 'InuYasha' belongs to Rumiko Takahashi & any other owner(s). Any other characters are created by me and you must have permission to use them. If any events in the story seem similar it's purely coincidental.

Chapter One:

Only Yours

A Kagome & InuYasha Love Story

Tears spilled down her rosy cheeks, her hazel orbs shining with pain and betrayal.

"K-Kagome, I didn't mean for-"the hanyou began to sputter as the raven beauty continued to cry.

"What, InuYasha?! You didn't mean for me to see you with Kikyo, again?!" she shouted at him wiping her tears, which was a futile battle against herself.

"I...I was just, I mean nothing happened!" InuYasha countered, desperation rising onto his face. "We just talked, and she...!"

The young girl looked at him. Her eyes were so distressed, and she began shaking her head, slowly, as in hopes that this was all a nightmare. "S-She what...?"

Golden orbs locked onto hers, full of guilt and shame. Kagome couldn't handle it, that look...it pierced her heart, and she held in a heart-wrenching sob. There was no way; she wouldn't be able to endure his answer. She didn't need to. She didn't want to.

"Wait, Kagome! Come back!"

'No, not this time,' she thought as she continued to run from the silver-haired boy. 'I can't. Not this time. It really hurts, so I can't.'

He just stood there. Alone, surrounding by the dark outlines of the forest that seemed to be caving in on him. Just like everything else was.

oOoOo

She ran and ran. Wind whipped at her skin, leaving stinging sensations along it, like left-over footprints. Her eyes were sore, her sight beginning to blur, tears overflowing with no sign of stopping. Muscles aching due to her determined speed, which was going against her body's limits. Branches of the tree grabbed her clothes causing tears in her uniform sweater and skirt. But she didn't care.

The physical pain was bearable, unlike the emotional volcano swelling within her.

'Why!?' She screamed internally. 'Why couldn't he just be honest? Did he have to sneak around like that? Couldn't he believe in her like she did? Didn't he kn-"

Snap! A lower branch she had stepped on cracked in half, causing her to lose her grip on the unruly, forest grass. A gasp escaped her lips, realizing what was going to happen. The world seemed to spin, the settings all disrupted, and the...

Wham!

Her world...was fading to black.

'Didn't he know...he was killing her...?' was her last thought, succumbing to the darkness.

oOoOo

"Dammit! What the hell was I thinking?!" the hanyou growled leaping from tree branch to tree branch.

Rain began to drizzle from the sky.

"Ugh! Dammit!" InuYasha yelled, his anger growing.

The rain would wash away the faint scent of Kagome: Sweet cherries and vanilla. Without it, he wouldn't be able...must less get to her because the tree's bark were also growing slippery. He'd have to pick up his pace, without loosing his grip.

Her.

Just at the thought of her, his features softened, ears drooping with sorrow.

Kagome.

The only person, he truly cherished besides his own mother, and yet, constantly all he did was bombard her with pain.

"Kagome...will you forgive me, again?" he muttered sadly, continuing his search for the young girl.

Coming down harder, the rain sung it solemn reply.

oOoOo

Within Kaede's hut the small group huddled around the blazing flames.

Shippo and Kilala slept peacefully cuddling up to the demon-slayer, Sango. However, she was staring out into the rain, her features full of worry.

"Sango, you should rest. Don't worry, I can stand watch," suggested a caring male voice from the opposite site of the hut.

A pair of worried hazel orbs went to the spot where the concerned, violet-eyed monk was sitting.

"Miroku, I'm worried. The state that Kagome left in, and InuYasha's behave-"she began, but stopped suddenly.

He was staring intently into her, she began to get flustered. "Sango, they do love each other, and everything will fine. Just you wait and see, ok?" he told her.

Heart pounding in her chest, due to his earlier actions, she stuttered, "Y-You're right."

Miroku smiled. She was adorable, blushing softly like that. 'Yes Sango, don't worry because soon it will be us confessing to each other. Just you wait and see..."

oOoOo

He'd found her. Drenched and panting, InuYasha found Kagome sprawled over at the bottom of a cliff. Instantly, he panicked as his heart was rapidly beating against his chest, threatening to burst!

She was pale, and looked so small. Midnight locks surrounding her face and shoulders, in odd directions. Her uniform torn and ragged, clinging to her every curve. Immediately, he swept her up in his arms, begging to every freakin'god out there, she would pull through.

Walking over to medium-sized crook within a large tree's bark, almost like a cave, he prayed and prayed. Her small frame looked broken, probably because he had snapped her spirit.

"Damn, damn, damn! Why can't I do anything right?!" he screamed at the top of his lungs into the open.

That's when tears began to threaten to come rushing out. He didn't care, nothing freakin' mattered anymore! He glances at Kagome in his arms. "How can you ...love me? How?"

Then, golden orbs widened in horror. He was so stricken by the smell, he couldn't believe it!

Sticky, crimson blood began to pour from the back of the raven-haired miko.

"N-No! Kagome!"

He finally snapped tears flowed down his face. Putting his face into the girls midnight hair, he sobbed, uncontrollably. "It can't end like this...it can't..."

'My Dear, InuYasha.'

His ears tingled at the familiar soft voice...of his mother?

Looking up, glowing eerily, he stared in awe at his mother's azure eyes. She touched his face, sending warm chills throughout his body. "M-Mother...?" he barely whispered.

She smiled gazing down at him and the nearly-dead miko. 'This girl, do you love her?'

InuYasha looked at Kagome's beautiful face. Remembered how lively and loving her smile was for him. She loved him. She truly did. Unconditionally.

"Yes, Mother. I love this girl."

'Good. Now I can leave you to go to the Heavens, but first...' she placed her palms on Kagome's heard, then her heart.

"Mother, what are you doing?" he asked as he saw a surge a light be released from her hands into the young girl.

Giving him another one of her loving smiles, her eyes twinkled as she whispered, 'InuYasha, a second chance has been giving. Make use of your luck with Fate. Farewell, now.'

"Mother..." slipped from his mouth before calming warmth was casted over him.

oOoOo

The raven-haired miko blinked against the bright light of the sun and the chirps of the birds.

"Mmm..." was all she could say, since she was pressed up against a soft figure.

"Kagome?" spoke a soft, male voice quietly.

Suddenly everything clicked with the previous events, and she stood quickly. Bewildered, she began to back away.

"No, wait..." InuYasha said, and in one motion stood to sweep the hazel-eyed beauty up in his arms.

Astonished, Kagome opened her mouth agape.

Pulling himself from her minutes later, to gaze into her face, he smiled. The rosy color was back in her cheeks. Her warmth seeped right into his skin. Her eyes bright...alive.

Dipping his head slowly, he captured her cerise lips as she gasped lightly. Warmth sent tingling sensations throughout her longing body. He gripped her lower back, slightly pushing her into him, deepening their kiss.

She couldn't believe it. She was...

Melting...

Moaning...

Longing...

For...

His caress...

His heat...

His lips...

His everything...

Then he pulled away softly, leaving her lips burning for more...for him...

Gazing intently, golden orbs locked onto hazel ones, once again.

He said," I love you, Kagome. I'm only yours."
