Chapter One

Kagome's red satin dress followed along behind her. As she gracefully walked down the arched stairwell. "Darling, you look beautiful," Kouga exclaimed. Looking up and down her clothed body. She walked by him. With no reply. "Sweetheart, something wrong?" he asked. She merged ahead. Away from him. He took grasp of her arm and squeezed it tightly. She turned around, facing him. Eyes glaring through spying tears. "Nothing," she said. Trying to pull away. He tugged her back. Sliding one arm around her waist. "Remember tonight we have dinner together." She nodded. And tried to leave once more. He stuck his lips on hers. She pushed him off her. With all of her force. She ran out the door. As she ran down the property. Into empty atmosphere, she heard Kouga calling her name. For her to return home. Kagome ran quickly into the woods. She reached a familiar place and stopped. Staring around with confusion. "Up here," Inuyasha whispered as if answering a question never asked. Kagome raised her head to the towering trees. Inuyasha sitting on a low branch. He jumped down. Standing beside her. He gently touched her cheek. "What's the matter?" he asked softly. Previous tears poured out as Kagome buried her face in his shirt. "I'm sick of it Inu. I'm sick of pretending. I want o be with the one I truly love. I want to be with you!" she cried. He looked at her through glistening eyes. " I know but I did this for your protection. I love you Kagome. Nothing will ever change that." He tightened his arms around her. She looked up at him, sniffling. Inuyasha picked his head up off hers. With his finger bent he raised her head more. He pressed his lips against hers. Embracing her peacefully. For Kagome it seemed as thought the world around them was spinning. "Kagome!" Kouga's voice came into the distance. Inuyasha pulled away. "Inu-," Kag began to say desperately. "You know as well as I do. That if he finds us we are both dead. That is why you must stay with him. I told you it is for your protection." He gave her a quick kiss and ran into the deeper end of the forest. The leaves carrying his words. Whispering, " I love you" softly, like a sweet lullaby. "Darling, everything all right?" Kagome neglected to turn around. "Fine," she said staring at Inuyasha's footprints.
