Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. Now, will you tell Sesshomaru to remove the blade from my throat and let me tell the goddammed story?

I Hate Her…No…I Love Her

I sat in Goshinboku, waiting for Kagome to come home. My mind flashed back to the day before when Kagome and I fought.

Flashback

"FINE!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed. "I'M GOING HOME, INUYASHA AND DON'T COME AFTER ME!!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU UNTIL I'M READY TO COME BACK!!!"

I yelled at her retreating back, "DON'T BOTHER COMING BACK THEN WENCH!!!"

The 16-year-old stiffened as she walked off.

Sango walked up behind me. The next thing I knew was Hiraikotsu hitting the top of my head. "Baka! I don't even want to know what you said earlier but Kagome going through a rough patch right now! You could have at least been a right bit kinder to her!" She hit me again.

I was seeing stars by now. I knew what Miroku went through now, and I could sympathize.

End Flashback

What had I said? I knew something was wrong with Kagome, but I didn't know what. My stomach clenched as I thought about Kagome's shining black hair…Her blue eyes…Her lovely legs…

I could go on and on…

But I won't.

Gods. I hate her…No…I don't…I love her.

But if you think I will ever admit that, you are sorely mistaken. Well, I'll probably tell Miroku, but never Kagome.

At least not to her face.

If she's asleep, I whisper it to her, but NEVER to her beautiful face.

Oh, yeah…Did I mention it's new moon tonight? That's why I'm so sappy.

I stood up and dropped out of the tree. I ran out of the forest and to the Bone-Eater's Well, just as the sun rose. I waited for my transformation to finish taking place and I jumped into the well.

I appeared in Kagome world. I wrinkled my nose. It smelled there. Bad…

I jumped up to Kagome balcony. I slid the window open. I heard the scratching of a "pen" on "paper". Still not sure what those mean…

I'll have to get Kagome to tell me later.

But my second thought was, "What is she doing up at this hour?!"

I jumped in, silent as a cat.

What irony. A inuyoukai as silent as a neko…How ha-ha-larious…

Kagome said, "I know your there, InuYasha. We have some things to talk about. Don't you think?"

Her voice sounded as though she had been crying about something. I said, "Kagome? What's wrong?"

She sniffed. "Wrong? Nothing. Nothing at all. Nada. Zilch…I'm just peachy."

I frowned. "Kagome, have you been getting enough sleep? You aren't a peach you know."

She turned to look at me and that when I saw her eyes and face. Her face was red and blotchy, and her eyes were bloodshot from to much crying. "It was just a figure of speech InuYasha. Never mind."

I walked over to her, picking her up and carrying her over to the bed. "Hey! InuYasha! Let me down!"

I whispered in her ear, "Not till you tell me what's bothering you."

She turned around to face me again. "Do you really want to know?" I nodded. "My father died when I was 11. He was killed in a car accident. Scared me to death when I learned about it. Sota was only 6 at the time, so he didn't understand what was going on…" She started crying onto my shoulder.

I said, "Kagome. There's something I want you to know."

She looked up at me, tears still streaming down her beautiful face, "Yeah?"

"I love you."

There. Said it. Happy?

"InuYasha?"

I froze. Was she gonna throw it back in my face?

"You know something? I love you too…"

Kagome and I fell asleep like that, with both of us smiling our asses off…

And that was how Kagome and I finally admitted we loved each other. Trust me. We had to tell Sango and Miroku quite a few times…
