Disclaimer: I do not (sniff) own Inu Yasha…(sniff) but if I did…well this is what I would do…lol…


I Know You Love Me

"Idiot."

The trees blurred past him.

"Half-breed."

He wasn't quite sure where he was going.

"Self-centered bastard."

The trees started gathering space between them.

"No good demon."

The clearing came up.

"Worthless."

There sat the well, as he closed in on it, he stopped short.

"Mutt-face!"

His hands dug into the worn wood.

"Meaningless existence."

He didn't know why he was here.

"Not worth my time."

He felt betrayed.

"DIE Inu Yasha!"

The pain of his memories caused him to double over.

"How does it feel? To lose everything…?"

He rested his head on the ledge of the well.

"…"

He looked up. He thought of her.

"Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo!! I don't know who she is but she's not me…I'm Kagome."

He'd really screwed up, he knew it.

"You really tried to kill me…didn't you?!"

He closed his eyes.

"I thought you hated my scent?"

He swallowed hard.

"Why are you so mean to me?"

He stood up.

"My name is not 'Stupid'...It's Kagome."

He had to do something.

"I can help you…I can tell you the secret to Tetsusaiga."

He rested a foot on the well.

"SIT BOY!"

He jerked his foot back.

"It's ok if you really want to go with Kikyo…"

His clenched hands tightened.

"…I'll always be here for you."

Tears were blinked back forcefully.

"I-I…"

He turned from the well.

"…"

The step was slow, but he took one more…away from the well.

"Arrogant fool."

His anger came back.

"Deceitful dog."

The tears were gone now.

"No one can ever love you."

He turned back to look at the well.

"I don't care if Naraku did betray us "

He closed his eyes again, and was surprised to see her face.

"Inu Yasha…being with you…this has been the happiest time of my life."

"Kagome…" he whispered the word to the wind, no one else was around to hear him.

"I will kill you."

He was in the well before he knew what happened.

"Not worth—you will die—I betrayed you—self-centered—DIE—no on cares for—meaningless exestince—mutt-face—arrogant fool—"

Angry voices swirled around him and the pain was so great that he let forth a tremendous cry.

A single voice came through it all, like a candle in a hurricane, "Inu Yasha…don't ever change…"

A delicate tear traced its way down his rough cheek.

"I like you just the way you are."

His bare feet met the hard ground as he looked up.

"I…"

His breath caught in his throat as he saw her.

"Inu Yasha? What are you doing here?" Her voice held the slightest tinge of anger, mixed with confusion.

"I came here to tell you that you need to come back." I can't live without you.

"Why should I come back?"

He jumped out of the well to stand beside her, "Because…well…I…look Kagome…I'm sorry, ok?"

She smiled, she actually smiled, "Inu Yasha…I have to tell you something…I…

"…I love you Inu Yasha."

…I love you."

He smiled.

"Please don't change…I love you!"

He cupped her face with his strong hand as he leaned in, "I think I finally understand that."

"Do you…do you l-l—"

He stopped her question with the kiss he had always longed to give her, but had never had the courage to do so.

EL FIN



A/N: So? How do you like it? Most all of those flashback-quote things actually happened in either the movies or the real series, so…be proud of me! (big smile)

Well anyway I wanted to do a one-shot…so…I did. Yay! (claps) if this really happened in the series…oh man…wouldn't that be spectacular?

Ok so please read and review! Suggestions for the title would be appreciated…I just called it this randomly…

I'm almost done with those first chappies to the present-day ones but had this random idea and had to write it out…lol.

Hope you enjoy this!
