Kagome and InuYasha: Am I in love?

This is my first fanfic, flames are allowed as long as they aren't too harsh. Characters are OOC here but whatever.

Disclaimer: I do own this story so please don't sue me! I don't have the money anyways! All InuYasha chars are owned by Rumiko and I do not own them even if I wish I did, I guess I'll only own them in my dreams...

Kagome's Decision

Kagome walked the city streets of downtown Tokyo as she thought of the previous fight with InuYasha. As she looked down at the ground trying to figure out a way to apologize to him, her three best friends, Ayumi, Eri and Yuka, noticed her looking so gloomy and came up to her.

"Kagome, are you alright? You looked so depressed." Ayumi stated.

"Did your aggressive boyfriend dump you again?" Yuka said, certainly displeased. Kagome shook her head and walked past them and headed for her home on top of the hill. She threw her bag down at the doorway and rushed up the stairs to her room. She flopped down on her bed and fell asleep thinking about InuYasha.

Meanwhile...

InuYasha stomped around Kaede's hut, debating whether to go get Kagome or not. He loved her so much, but since they fought all the time, he thought Kagome didn't feel the same way and decided to treat her as if he didn't like her. Miroku and Sango sat there and watched him walk back and forth, in thought.

"InuYasha, stop fidgeting and go bring Kagome back." Miroku commanded.

"You should apologize for yelling at her too, it was her decision when Koga came to visit and since you're too much of a coward to admit to her that you love her, we're gonna lose her and we'll all have to suffer! Just go to her time and tell her your feelings, trust me she feels the same way." Sango lectured, acting a lot like a mother to him.

"Why should I listen to you?" InuYasha scowled.

InuYasha ran out of the hut and jumped into the tree. What should I do? Should I make my feelings known? But what if she doesn't love me back? What if she laughs at me and makes me look like a fool? ...Well, that's a risk I am willing to take! InuYasha thought to himself. He was clearly not obvious of Kagome's feelings.

InuYasha jumped off the branch and ran for the well. Before he even got there, he could smell the scent of Kagome AND Koga. He hid behind a tree and watched as Koga and Kagome talked. His sensitive ears picked up everything they said. (A/N: I know InuYasha probably wouldn't have done this but oh well... My fic, the chars act the way I want! :P)

"So, did that mutt leave you, Kagome?" Koga said, slowly advancing on Kagome, a low growl formed in InuYasha's throat but he suppressed it. She nodded slowly as tears formed in her eyes.

"Yeah, he still loves Kikyo... Oh how I wish it was the other way around, where he loved me instead of her." Kagome sobbed, covering her face with her hands.

"Well, if you become my bride, I can give you everything you ever wanted that the mutt-face didn't give you. I love you Kagome, so will you become my bride?" Koga bribed, a look of sheer confidence plastered on his face. He knew attacking Kagome while she was weak was the easiest and lowest way to win her heart, but he doesn't care if he has to be low and filthy. He wins the woman and tortures the dog demon. Tears filled Kagome's eyes. She nodded and hugged him. As InuYasha watched this, a small tear rolled down his pale cheek.

"Sure! I will marry you because no one else will really care... Do you want me to live with you at your den?" Kagome asked a little warily. Koga shook his head. Kagome looked at him confused.

"Not until after we're married. I am gonna let you be with your friends to say goodbye and have time with them, also so that you can go back to your family and tell them everything. Until then, my love!" Koga said with pleasure lacing his tone. Koga leaned down and kissed Kagome passionately on the lips. InuYasha stood up and walked back to Kaede's village with his eyes hidden by his bangs. Koga left and Kagome grabbed her bag and headed towards the village to tell the good news.

InuYasha jumped into a tree and looked at the sky. A solemn tear rolling down his cheek.

Does she really think she'd be happier with him and not me? I guess Miroku and Sango were right. I was going to lose her if I didn't talk to her sooner, and now what I feared the most to happen actually happened. InuYasha mused silently to himself.

Kagome walked into the village. InuYasha looked over at her and then looked away sadly. She walked into Kaede's hut and was greeted by the arms of Shippo and Sango.

"Welcome back! Did you talk to InuYasha? He went to go get you a few minutes ago. He had something he needed to tell you." Shippo squealed, launching himself into her arms.

"No, I came back about ten minutes ago and ran into Koga. I decided I'm tired of waiting for InuYasha so Koga and I are going to get married in a month or two so I can spend some time with you guys." Kagome stated. The others simply stared at her in disbelief. As she finished InuYasha walked in with the saddest of looks.

"Kagome, can you come with me for a little bit?" He asked sadly. She looked at him and nodded slowly as she saw the saddened look in his face. They walked out of the hut and into the forest.
