A/N: THIS STORY IS I NAME MY BEST STORY SO FOR! Or that's what I think. No I dont own InuYasha ALRIGHT! But Kikyouu cant have him cause I hate her! I tried to be as descriptive as possible so dont be so harsh. And this chapter is rewritten.

Anything in italics are thoughts! This is an example of a thought.

Love Never Dies

It was nightfall in the Feudal Era. The stars shown brightly in the dark sky and one person couldn't help but stare at them. She was a young girl named Kagome. Kagome was in her sleeping bag, a sleeping Shippo next to her, Sango on the other side of the camp fire also asleep, and Miroku at least 6 yards away from her. He could get a little "perverted" in his sleep.

Why was Kaome still awake at this hour? It was almost midnight, and Kagome couldn't sleep because InuYasha had left ten minutes earlier. She kept wondering what could he have been doing.

Where is he? What if he got attacked? Or worse, what if he's with...Kikyou?

The last thought made Kagome's heart swell with pain. She loved InuYasha ever since they met but he still loved Kikyou. Every time they were together, it always made her want to run off and cry. Kikyou was dead so why should he still love her?

I shouldn't be selfish. I guess my love will always be one sided. But should I just check on him? Plus I have to ask him about the trip. But what if he is with Kikyou? I dont know but I just need to know! But would he get mad? I dont know...I dont care, that's it I'm going! And with that thought, Kagome got out of her sleeping bag carefully as to not wake Shippo and went off in the direction she had seen InuYasha leave in.

After quietly walking for a few minutes, Kagome finally found InuYasha...with Kikyou. Kagome wanted to yell, sob, kill the bitch! But she couldn't move.

Kagome snapped out of her trance and was about to leave when InuYasha said Kikyou's name harshly. Kagome, confused at the tone of voice, decided to stay and listen behind a bush. Hopefully InuYasha wouldn't notice her right away.

"Kikyou..." InuYasha said harshly again. It was strange, he stared at the pale woman infront of him with such malice. He never stared at her like that.

"Why that tone of voice my love?" Kikyou asked innocently stepping towards InuYasha. But he stepped back.

"I'm not your love." He spat with distaste. Kikyouu narrowed her eyes at him but tried gain. He again stepped back and Kikyouu was starting to get annoyed.

"What's wrong with you?"

InuYasha shook his head at her disapprovingly. "You."

"InuYasha..."

"I hate it when you say my name. It disgraces me even more."

"What's going on?"

"Dont you realize Kikyou? I'm not falling for your tricks." InuYasha said.

"What do you mean?" Kikyou asked. She knew what it was but wouldn't adimit it. The half demon cant be that smart could he? She thought.

"You used me. You used me. You never really loved me. You just wanted to make the jewel disappear so that you could live a normal life. I was a love sick puppy to you and you took advantage of me." InuYasha said and chuckled without mirth.

"I would follow you around... help you... accompany you. I loved you... And I thoguht you loved me. Yet I should of realized sooner. You wanted me to change. InuYasha become a full human so that we could be together. I was so in love with you that I was about to do it. But you know what? I like the way I am. You hear that Kikyou I LIKE THE WAY I AM!"

"If that's all I'm leaving, I have no need for this." Kikyou said this time unemotionally. At the blink of an eye, InuYasha had her in his hands. Not like hugging her, he grabbed her shoulders hard so that she couldn't leave.

"No I want you to hear this. You know, you never really hugged me. I would always hug you and kiss you but you'd stiffen up. Barely even hugged me back."

"Your talking nonsense. I love you. I really do."

"Really?"

"Yes I do InuYasha." She was going to kiss him and InuYasha played along. They were inches apart when he opened his eyes and pushed her away so roughly that Kikyou fell to the ground. Kikyou was very surprised, even Kagome was surprised. InuYasha never handled Kikyouu so roughly before.

"Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou. You actually think that I'd let you get away with toying with my emotions so easily? You dont really know how to quit dont you?"

Kikyou had a look of pure anger on her face. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. To her! Kikyouu, the once great priestess! But she knew she had lost that life and she lost her once love.

"You'll never be happy without me. No one cares about you like I do! Cant you see that the pathetic excuse of my reincarnation doesn't care about you!"

Upon hearing this, Kagome wanted to murder Kikyou nice and slow so that it would hurt. NO ONE dared say that she doesn't care for InuYasha. NO ONE!

It was her that always comforted him when he was feeling sad. It was her that actually let him go to Kikyouu when he wanted to, despite her own turmoil about it! How could someone say that wasn't love?

Kagome looked towards InuYasha to see what he thought about it. He had a look of pure hatred in his eyes. And Kagome thought that his eyes were red for a second.

"How dare you say that to me Kikyou. How DARE you say that about Kagome." InuYasha said dangerously low that Kikyou was scared for a moment. She should be scared...

"Who are you to say that? Kagome likes me for who I am. And I trust her because I love her! Maybe she isn't as strong as you in miko power yet, but she is 100 times stronger than you in heart. She cares for everyone, sometimes even those who are evil. And you say she doesn't care. And I dont care if I wont be happy, as long as she's still my friend. But I will try and ask her to be my mate because I love her! You hear me? I LOVE HER!" InuYasha had gone furious that it was a miracle he didn't transform. Kagome was in shock and Kikyou was just as furious.

He loves me! He loves me! InuYasha LOVES ME! And he's going to ask me to be his mate! YES! Though, I cant help but feel bad for him. I never saw him this angry before. Kagome thought.

"You wont dare! You promised to go to hell with me!" Kikyou yelled.

"Some promises are ment to be broken!" InuYasha yelled back.

"Aren't you going to avenge my death?"

"Oh I will, but Kikyou's death. Not Kikyou the clay pot!"

"Damn you InuYasha! I will kill you and that wench! You will come to hell with me!"

"NO I'M NOT! The only wench who's going to be killed is you!" He couldn't take it anymore. This wasn't his Kikyou. This was never his Kikyouu. The Kikyouu he knew was dead, and had been dead for fifty years. So this wench infront of him was only standing in his way. He would get rid of her.

"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" Kikyou was readying an arrow but was too late. She was killed by InuYasha hands. She couldn't believe that he actually had what it takes to kill her. But what he didn't know was that she will come back. She always came back...

"I will get you InuYasha, you and that girl." Kikyou whispered and turned into ashes and clay pieces. The soul that was stolen from Kagome about a year ago was floating in the air and soon went back to its owner which was behind the bush.

Oh no he's going to see me! Kagome thought but she was too late to escape. Her soul was in her body again and she felt her miko abilities strengthen. She looked towards InuYasha who was now staring at the bush, blushing yet smiling.

"Kagome, come out, I know your there." He said. Kagome was surprised even more that night. His tone wasn't harsh or angry but happy and...caring. Full of love too. She stood up and went over to Inuaysha shyly, her cheeks a light shade of pink.

"I-I...uhh...ummm...s-sorry for being nosy." Kagome stuttered. She dared not to look into those golden depths and lose herself like so many times before. What eyes that held so much emotions!

"It's alright Kagome, I kind of wanted you to see. And what I said is true. I do love you but I've been too scared to tell you. I admit it, I dont want to be alone again so I waited. You've been so kind to me, even when I'm arrogant, annoying, narrow minded, and I could be a jerk at times, but you've always been there by my side. It makes me feel wanted." Kagome was feeling a little light headed at his words. It was a dream come true on a beautiful summer night with the stars as witnesses. And InuYasha even continued to praise her!

"And because of you, I have many friends, and an adopted son. You are really everything to me Kagome and I never want you to leave. So I was hoping that if you love me in return, would you be my mate?" He said the last part so fast but Kagome already knew what it was. InuYasha was awaiting for his rejection but the scent of salt assulted his nose.

"Hey...Kagome why are you crying? If it was me I'm sorry." InuYasha asked wiping some tears from her beautiful, soft face.

"No dont be sorry. I'm crying because I'm happy. I loved you ever since we met and I wanted to hear that for so long. I love you and yes I accept being your mate." InuYasha grinned happily and Kagome grinned to.

He hugged her and kissed her chastely. It was the best kiss Kagome has ever had, sweet and tender, not rough and haste. Actually, it was her first kiss, and the best one.

He's a good kisser, and it was not even a full one. And he has a bad influence on me. Kagome thought. They hugged and looked at the stars in the sky.

"Hey InuYasha..."

"Yeah Kagome?"

"Sorry for breaking the moment but would you like to go on a trip with me and my family? Shippo's coming too. He could pass through the well I noticed."

Please say yes. Please say yes. Kagome chanted in her head. It didn't even take InuYasha a minute to decide.

"Sure. We could use the time off and I need to do some stuff." He said. Kagome looked at him suspiciously but shrugged it off. She hugged him tightly while saying "Thank you" and "I love You" over and over again. InuYasha grinned widely.

"Where are we going?" InuYasha asked after Kagome was done.

"Oh right...we're going to Florida! We're visiting my unlce and my aunt. And then we're going to Universal Studios Resort." Kagome replied.

"Flor-o-da? U-no-ver-sol? What are these?" InuYasha asked in confusion. Kagome giggled at his confused look that was so cute. He was so cute...that was besides the point.

"What's so funny?" InuYasha asked annoyed yet smiling.

"Nothing, it's just you look so cute when you're confused! And it's Florida. That's a state in the United States which is a country. A state is a territory in a country that has enough citizens to be considered more than just territory." Kagome explained the best that she could. InuYasha nodded to show he understood, even though he understood nothing of what she said.

"And it's Universal Studios Resort. It's a place where there's a lot of rides and other attractions. It's hard to explain but you'll understand when we get there. A resort is a place where people go to have fun and relax. It has pools, resturaunts, clubs, and so many other things. I promise you'll love it! Yay, I'm so happy!" Kagome said and kissed InuYasha again.

Your cute to Kagome. Especially when your happy. I still dont get it much but hey who cares as long as I'm with you. He thought happily.

"Should we head back?"

"I guess we should. I'm tired and we need to go to my time tomorrow to go shopping." Kagome replied, trying to stiffle a yawn but failing miserably.

"Then we should get up early and we should get there in about four hours." InuYasha said. Kagome nodded and he swooped her up in his arms bridle style. He started running to the camp and when he got there, he jumped to a tree and made him and Kagome comfortable on his lap.

Finally they got comfortable and Kagome laid her head on his chest and snuggled up more. InuYasha nuzzled Kagome's hair and neck. He breathed in her calming scent that slowly lulled him to sleep.

"Good night." Kagome whispered.

"Good night." InuYasha whispered and they both soon fell asleep with contented smiles on their faces. They truly were a new happy couple.

A/N: I thought was very sappy and I hate sappy. All the love declaring things are not my thing, but its what people like to read so I wrote it. Argh, I wanted to throw up writing this, but whatever. BYE BYE!
