The Prayer

Late at night at the Feudal Era, Inuyasha and his friends settled themselves at Kaede's house to take a rest....... As for inuyasha, he leaned his back at the wall, then.....

He slowly opened his eyes "That's odd" He stood up and went outside the hut......

"Damn!" He looked around to his surrounding... "Where could she be?" He walked around..

"Kagome!" He yelled, he can't hear an answer

"Kagome where are you!?" He yelled again but still no answer,his now nervous and scared for what could happened to her, he walked around until...

He was cut off by his trail when he saw her.. She was standing in front of a small shrine praying

He sighed 'That wench always makes me worry' he thought as he slowly approach her 'is she praying?' he questioned himself...

As for Kagome as she slowly opened her eyes, she was surprised as inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist.. He embraced her back and breathe into her sweet scent..

"You scared me, I thought there's something bad had happened to you" Inuyasha started

"I'm sorry, I just can't sleep so I decided to roam around then I saw this small shrine"

"You could have asked me to caome with you" He give her a small peck on her cheek

"I don't want to wake you up and besides I'm just praying here" a pause "What about you?"

"Me?"

"Yah you, why don't you pray?"

"But why?" He raised a brow

"Don't you want anything or a gift from God?"

"Kagome, I already have you, I couldn't ask for more"

Kagome blushed "Me too inuyasha, I couldn't ask for more than your love" a pause "I'm just giving my thanks to God"

Inuyasha tightened his grip on her and buried his face on her with love and awe for what she said..

Then, "Ok, I'll also give my thanks" he said

"Really? I'll pray with you" she smiled

Before she could protest she felt him closer to her, startling her with comfort while bending his head closer to her ear with his eyes closed. She also closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of his soft breath... Then...

"Dear God,

Thank you for giving me the most precious gift, that is having Kagome in my life.. Back there when I was left like an empty shell, I thought you didn't care about me anymore, but... When kagome came into my life, I was so thankful that you gave her to me, an angel whom I love the most, and who love me for what I' am, for me she's my everything-more than my everything.. There's only one thing that I want to ask from you that is, whatever the trials that will test our relationship you will help us to be strong and keep our bond together... God, as you hear me I'm thanking you for giving me your angel... This I promise that I will protect her with my life and I will love her with all of my heart and my soul, I know I can't give her the things that money can buy, but I will give her all my love.. This is all I ask to you dear God- Amen"

Kagome was shocked, she couldn't believe on what she heard... By that she couldn't stop the tears that are streaming down at her cheeks...

'I love him! I love him so much!' She thought as her mind is screaming of happiness

As Inuyasha opened his eyes, he saw kagome shedding her tears as she turned to face him

"What's wrong my angel?" He's caressing her cheek while wiping her tears

"N-Nothing, I'm just happy, do you really mean it?"

"Of course I do, I love you!" he squeezed her

"Really?" she raised a brow

He rolled his eyes as he smirked "Ok, I don't love you"

Kagome chuckled "just joking! I love you inubaby!"

"I love you too" he cuddled her

After that they settled themselves inside the kaede's hut for a goodnight sleep
