Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any other characters, sadly, but I
don't. Although, I really wish I did. Haven't any of you ever wished that
he were real? I know I sure do. His beautiful golden eyes, his long,
shimmering white hair, his- um, sorry, kind of got drifted away in a
daydream again. Anyway, please read my story, and review. This is my second
one; the first one was 'The Last Moment'. I hope you all enjoy my story!
Don't forget to review!
Chapter 1: Feelings Revealed
Kagome was treading along a small path, heading towards the tree where Inuyasha was laying. Cherry blossoms were falling all around her, filling the air with the sweet fragrance. She starred down at the dirt path beneath her feet.
'Today has got to be the day. I need to tell him now. Now is the right time.'
She continued her stroll up to the tree. In the tree, Inuyasha was laying, enjoying the cool breeze of the evening. His hair flowed with the wind, creating a white veil over his face. His eyes were closed, but they quickly opened when he picked up the scent of Kagome, and she seemed a little worried. He slowly lifted his head from his resting position. He noticed her treading towards the tree, her head tilted toward the ground.
'I've got to tell him.'
Her face turned a bright shade of red as she stopped in front of the tree. Above her was a curious hanyou, wondering why she was there.
'What could she want now?'
He growled. Kagome paused a moment, then she glanced up at the annoyed Inuyasha.
'I hope this is the right time.'
"Inuyasha, please come down here, I need to tell you something that's very important."
Her face started to turn red again.
"Hmph, and what if I don't?"
Kagome smirked at him.
"Then, I'll just have to say 'sit-boy'-"
"Hm? Argh!"
He crashed to the ground with a *THUD*.
"Oops, sorry 'bout that!"
Kagome waved her hand over his head, which was planted into the ground.
'Great, just what I needed, to make him mad. Maybe I should wait?'
Kagome starred at him, puzzled.
"Why you-" he growled.
He glanced up at the girl, who was now starring into the distance.
"Hm? What do you want?"
He slowly pulled himself up as soon as the spell wore off. He dusted off his dirty clothes.
"Inuyasha, please sit down, I need to tell you something."
Kagome took a couple steps and dropped to the ground. She leaned back against the trunk of the tree. Inuyasha gazed at her, and noticed that she seemed nervous. He slowly made his way over to where she was sitting. He sat right in front of her, and growled.
"Why did you bother me? I was completely relaxed, that is until you decided to come over here and make me listen to your stupid human complaints."
He scowled at her.
"Inuyasha,"
she tilted her head towards the ground, letting her hair fall over her face. Inuyasha sighed,
"What?"
He glared at her while crossing his arms. He paused when he noticed a familiar smell, the smell of salt, and the smell of tears.
'Is...is she crying?'
He gazed at her face, studying it carefully. He watched as a single tear dropped to the earth beneath her.
"Inuyasha, do you remember when we first met? When I released you from Kikyo's spell?"
He starred at her, confused from the question.
"I remember every bit of it. How you thought that I was Kikyo, and how much you hated me." *flashback*
~ "Kikyo, Kikyo. Whoever she is, I'm not her!"
Kagome thundered up to the hanyou that was pinned to a tree by a sacred arrow.
"And I'm saying you gotta be her cause if you're not, there's no way that you can smell so..."
Inuyasha smelled the girl who stood angrily in front of him.
"You're not her."
"I know. My name is Kagome, Ka-go-me."
He slightly turned his head.
"You're right. Kikyo was cuter, much cuter."
'Whad you? Hm?'
A creature wrapped her arms around Kagome and began to pull. She quickly grabbed something close to her, which happened to be Inuyasha's hair.
"AHH! Let me go!"
"Ow ow ow, you let go!"~
Kagome giggled to herself.
"I remember exactly what you said."
Inuyasha continued to stare at her, puzzled.
"Do you remember the first time you turned human, around me that is?"
There was silence. Inuyasha broke the silence.
"Where are you going with this Kagome?"
"I remember when the spider head poisoned you, and I took care of you."
She closed her eyes and smiled. *flashback*
~ "He's dripping in sweat."
Kagome took a pink cloth and began to gently dry Inuyasha's forehead. Inuyasha was struggling to breathe.
"Oh."
She starred at him, worried.
"Euh, huh?"
His eyes slowly began to open.
"Sorry, I didn't wake you up, did I?"
He struggled to speak.
"Ugh, no."
He glanced at her face.
"Kagome?"
"What is it?"
" Tell me something, why were you crying?"
She paused for a moment.
"Huh? Back in the other room?"
There was a pause of silence.
"Because, I thought I was going to loose you, I thought you were gonna, die."
Inuyasha turned his head.
"You shed tears for me, cried for me. Kagome, if it's not too much trouble, may I lie on your lap?"
She gasped.
"Hm. M-mum."
Inuyasha lay there peacefully in her lap. She gazed down at him.
"Kagome, you smell kinda nice."
The words struck her.
"Huh? O.k., that's it! You made a point of telling me before that you couldn't stand my scent!"
He whispered,
"I did, but I was lying."
He faced her body.~
Inuyasha continued to stare at her, shocked by her words and her tears. He began to move forward, but then he forced himself to stop.
"Kagome, why are you telling me all of this?"
She slowly closed her eyes and spoke gently,
"I need to tell you something that you really need to know."
He jumped up, furious.
"You mean to tell me that you did all of that nonsense talk and you still haven't said what you wanted to?"
He began to shake his fist angrily in her face, but was stopped by her gently touch. She had gripped his wrist in her small hand.
"Uh...Kagome?"
Inuyasha's face turned a bright shade of red.
"You may want to sit down for this."
He gasped at her words.
"Huh?"
Although shocked from her comment, he did as he was told. Something inside him told him that he should brace himself for the unexpected. He tried, but no matter what, his efforts to no avail. His body kept on tensing up. He slowly leaned back and sat to the ground. He crossed his legs, and then placed his elbows on the ends of his knees, holding his head up with his hands. He gazed at the girl who sat before him.
"Are you O.k.?"
She quietly raised her head, her teary eyes meeting his. He couldn't help but stare at the way they shown. Although glazed with tears, they were glowing with life, something that she had a lot of. Her lips slowly began to move as she spoke in a soft, settle voice.
"This is hard for me to say, and I don't know if you're the same, but I'm gonna tell you anyway."
"Kagome?"
"Um, I've been like this ever since I can remember, ever since that day when you nearly died against the spider head."
"Feh. What are you talking about? I was just fine, thank you very much."
Inuyasha smirked.
"I've been too scared to tell you, but now I feel is the right time."
He shut his mouth, and then opened it again to respond.
"Huh? Why would you be scared to tell me-"
He sprang to his feet.
"ARE YOU DYING?!"
Kagome's eyes widened, stunned from his response.
"Uh, NO! What makes you think that?"
Kagome leaned back, prepared for one the longest lectures in her life.
"Well, for starters, maybe it's the fact that you're acting totally strange whenever you're around me. You're never paying attention to where you're going, you've nearly gotten yourself killed a couple times because you've become so deep in thought at the wrong times, and, not to mention that you haven't told me 'sit', in the exception of today, for the longest time, AND THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU! Even though I don't like to be sat, it's starting to bother me that you haven't done it. I feel like I don't know you anymore. You never talk to me, well, not much lately anyway, and, to just put it simply, YOU'RE ACTING-"
Kagome smiled as she opened her lips once more.
"I love you."
Everything went silent.
