Episode 129

Inuyasha couldn't believe how jealous he felt as he watched Kagome faun over Chokyukai. Sure part of him understood that she was under his spell but still to listen to her say "my dearest husband," was disgusting. He knew how he felt about her and she surely knew..right? Right? Watching the tornado-like wind take her away was difficult for him. The thoughts going through his head was enough to make him shake with anger, jealously and revulsion. What…What if he forces her to sleep with him?

After discussing the plan with Sango, Shippo and Miroku, Inuyasha sniffed out the demon's hiding place. As he saw the Shippo and the demon interact, he could feel himself groaning with impatience. Chokyukai was gyrating close to Shippo, when Shippo's power finally giving out but at that point, he was leaping towards to second floor balcony and was running to relieve Kagome of that strange headpiece. He was able to get his fingers under the headpiece and sighed with relief, as he was able to lift it off her head. Her eyes cleared and he couldn't help his heart from beating fast when he heard his name on her lips.

After Kagome destroyed the Chokyukai and Miroku scared off the women, they found themselves once again settling down to sleep outside. Kagome smiled to herself as she felt the warm air caress her cheek. She sat a little ways away from the group looking up at the stars. Without word Inuyasha sat next to her.

"Hey…Kagome?" Inuyasha started uncertainly.

"Yeah, what is it?" She asked. His cheeks were slightly red as he glanced up at the stars. He seemed slightly nervous but there was something else there as well. Concern maybe.

"Do..do you remember everything that happened when you were under the Pig's spell?"

"Hmm" She said as she tried to think. Her finger came up to touch her chin as she thought back. "It's kind of like a dream but yes I remember."

"Did…did he try anything with you?"

"Anything like what?"

"You know…like kissing and stuff" His cheeks were bright red as he glanced at her face.

"Hey! Just what type of woman do you take me for!" Kagome snarled as she could feel the anger rising in her. Her hands shaking as she rose and glared down at him.

"It..It's not like that." He said as he glanced up at her before blushing and looking away.

Kagome blinked in surprise before moving to kneel in front of him.

"Inuyasha?"

"I just…I wouldn't have wanted him to take…take advantage of you." He had looked her in the eyes, his cheeks red before glancing away.

"Me either!" She said with anger, but her eyes softened as she looked at the half-demon. "He had me serve him dinner and that was all. You came in time. You always do. I know I can always count on you." She said softly.

"Keh" He said as he crossed his arms.

She smiled softly as she returned to her seat.

"I'm sorry I worried you."

He glanced at her, "whatever," he growled.

"You know, I don't think he was bad but to have to resort to that type of trickery, is kind of sad. I think most people want to find someone to be with." She said softly.

"I know I did." He mentioned softly. Her eyes widen but she glanced at him and kept quiet.

Lifting his hand in front of him, he stared at his claws. "Everyone hates me. I'm a half-demon so humans nor demons accept me." He fell quiet as he glanced up at the stars

"I accept you." Whispering softly, she moved until she was leaning against him.

"I know."

Inuyasha blushed slightly as he allowed her to lean gently against him. Her body warm against his but he didn't mind the feeling. In fact, he loved it. He truly wasn't alone anymore.

"Kagome…Thank you." He whispered but when he glanced at her, she was already asleep. Reaching over he gently placed a kiss on the top of her head.
