Chapter 1: InuYashaXKagome
Summary: Kagome is back in her Era to have some relaxing time away from the search for the jewel shards. One day, she comes home from school, with everyone out of the house. All but a little surprise that awaits her...
Rated: T for Romance, duh!
~ "Hey Kagome, how's your relationship with that new boy?" Ari asked.
"He hasn't been around. I'm kind of glad." Kagome said, as she and her three friends walked down the sidewalk, heading home.
"He isn't cheating on you is he?" Yuka asked.
At the question, a small vision came to her head.
'Of course, he's gone to see Kikyo to pass the time.' Kagome thought, her body flaring with small anger.
"Haha, why should I care? He can do whatever he wants. What am I to him? A jewel..." Kagome stopped when she realized she was speaking her mind out loud.
"Uh, Kagome, what you should be for him, is a sweet girlfriend, and he should be loyal and give you credit for who you are." Ari said.
'This dog isn't loyal.' Kagome thought.
"Oh, you just passed your house Kagome." Ayumi spoke up.
Kagome stopped, turning around to see her house.
"Wow, ok, bye guys." Kagome said.
"Bye Kagome, call us later, k?" Ari said.
"I will, bye!" Kagome waved, and went up to her house.
Her family had gone on a family trip a couple days before Kagome had returned.
They had left a note on the kitchen table, with a couple chocolates, wishing her a Happy Valentine if she were to come while they were gone.
Kagome sighed, getting a little tired and lonely from haing the whole house to herself.
She went to her room, carelessly dropping her backpack on the ground, before letting herself fall onto her bed.
"I promised InuYasha that I would come back in two weeks, and it's barely been one, and I'm already missing..."
"Uh, Kagome, who are you talking to?" A familiar voice spoke, but scared Kagome enough to make her scream like a little girl, and sit up from her bed.
Kagome looked beside her bed to see InuYasha standing before her.
Once she had calmed, she was surprised to see him laughing.
"What is your problem! You scared the hell out of me!" Kagome said, embarassement filling her.
"You screamed like a little girl! You've never been so childish!" InuYasha said, laughing some more.
"I...What are you doing here anyway? I come here to get a break from you." Kagome said.
"Not from what I heard. I think you have been missing me." InuYasha said in a cocky voice, and a taunting smile on his face.
"What! I wasn't talking about you, I was..." Kagome stopped, knowing that she couldn't cover up her evidence. "Ugh, what are you doing here?"
"I got bored of waiting." InuYasha stated simply.
"Well, I'm not ready to go back." Kagome said, standing from her bed, "I've still got two tests to make up, so I need to study, I have another test coming up, and next week I have final exams, and..." Kagome was stopped from her ongoing story, when her body was pulled forward, and InuYasha's lips pressed to hers.
Her body tensed and her eyes widened at the position that she only dreamed she would be in.
After a couple seconds, the kiss ended.
"You worry too much." InuYasha said, sounding a little annoyed.
"Um..." Kagome was trying to think of something smart to say, but InuYasha didn't wait, he kissed her again, a little deeper.
'Where did this come from?' Kagome thought, although she numbly wrapped on of her arms around him, and kissed him back.
It lasted for a few long minutes, before Kagome pulled back to breathe.
InuYasha was barely breathless.
"What- what did you do that for?" Kagome asked.
"Just to calm you down." InuYasha sighed.
"No, you've never done that before, why here, why now?" Kagome asked.
"Kagome. You worry too much." InuYasha repeated his earlier quote. "I just came here because Sango said that I needed to make sure you were ok, and..."
"So, Sango talked you into this?" Kagome asked.
"No." InuYasha said, smiling lightsly, as he wrapped his arms around Kagome. "I've liked you, Kagome, I've always liked you."
Kagome blushed lightly, but turned her face from him, "It's because I look like Kikyo, right."
"No." INuYasha whispered again, kissing her cheek lightly, "I like you, I liked you from the moment we met."
Kagome still refused to look at him, "Then why...Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
InuYasha cupped her cheek, and forced her to look at him, "Because, we weren't alone." He smiled mischievously then, "And now we are."
Kagome gasped as his lips pressed to hers again.
'Is this really happening?' Kagome thought to herself.
"Wait." Kagome pulled away, "How can I know that you're not taking me as Kikyo?"
InuYasha smirked, "I can take this a whole new level if you want."
"What..."
"We can do this all night, Kagome, just believe that I only...Love...You." InuYasha whispered, before kissing her again, and this time, Kagome felt something in this kiss. Love, need, and trust.
Without anymore hesitation, Kagome finally gave in, and she took in the moment, she would never forget this.
InuYasha pulled back a little, "I can take this farther if you want." He whispered, before kissing her again.
Kagome wanted to so much just continue and take it farther, but, she remembered, she wasn't ready, she was only seventeen.
"Wait. I can't." Kagome pulled away when her shirt was halfway up.
"What? Still don't believe me? Or have you had enough?" InuYasha asked.
"I believe you, I do...But, I need to finish school first." Kagome said, coming up with an excuse.
InuYasha rolled his eyes, and sighed, "I don't know how or why you find that school of yours so important."
"Because, it's formal for a girl to learn education. Plus, I still have to help you complete the jewel. What good will I be for you then?" Kagome asked, feeling tears in her eyes.
"That doesn't matter to me anymore. I don't want the Jewel. I want you." InuYasha said.
"But, if we don't find the shards, other demons or even Naraku will find them, and kill us all." Kagome said.
"Then I'll fight back. And if you'd stop coming back here, we can find the jewel faster, and either destroy it, or keep it in your possession." InuYasha said.
'If I go back with InuYasha now, I'll have to make tons of tests, but then again, if I go with him and finish finding the jewel shards, then we can both come back for a normal life.' Kagome argued with herself, and soon, she found her answer.
"Ok, I'll go back now."
"Good, you ready now?" InuYasha asked.
"Yep, let's get going." Kagome said, going downstairs, and out of the house only to meet InuYasha at the well.
A/N: Well, there's your Happy Ever After. Inuyasha and Kagome.
Leave some reviews. Next couple will be MirokuXSango.
