A/N I'm not all that sure why I was inspired to write this. This is only my second one shot and my first Inuyasha one shot so bear with me on it. You know, I think listening to evanescence music does stuff to ya. I wasn't listening to it while I wrote this but I listened to it last night right before I went to bed at 2:00. (But hey, it was New Years!) I've always wanted to write something like this and this morning at 10:00 I had some free time cause everyone else in my family was still sleeping but my little sister so I had the computer to myself. This story has just been gnawing at my brain so I decided to type it up. It's really kinda pointless but I hope you guys like it anyway. R & R! Arigatou! Enjoy!

My Beautiful Hanyou

By Miyu

Kagome stirred and sat up wearily, opening her eyes and rubbing away the sleeping sand with her arm. She looked around the cabin and saw everyone there. Everyone there but Inuyasha.

She had been traveling with the group for almost now. She had come to know everyone, most of all Sango. She liked to think of her as her sister, they were so close. She looked out a crack in the doorway that the shade didn't quite cover and could catch just a glimpse of red. That must be Inuyasha. She thought, going to stand. She had become very found of that arrogant hanyou. She wasn't sure why, whether it be his ambitious attitude or the way he glared at her when he was mad…or the way he would stomp off when he didn't want to talk to her. It was like he was teasing her, playing with her emotions. There was something within him that he didn't want to show her and she wanted to know. She wanted badly to know, what was plaguing him so.

Slowly she arose from her futon, folding her blankets beside her as her lips curved into an intricate little smile. She was going to talk to him. Even if he hated her for it. She would wiggle his little secret out of him if it was the last thing she did. She set the fleece blanket on the futon and walked over to the doorway, putting her hands on the rim and sticking her head outside. He was there. Just sitting and letting his hair blow freely in the spring wind. She wasn't sure what he was doing, she could only see his back. But he seemed to be looking out at the landscape, maybe thinking. She gathered enough guts and walked outside, her hand sliding over the rim of the door as she took the step to the outside. She walked slowly towards him, over the grass. She didn't want to scare him, for fear he would turn around and yell at her or something. He had a habit of doing that.

He did nothing to stop her when she sat down hesitantly beside him. He found her as no threat…at least for the time being.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah what?"

"Are you alright?" Kagome said, twiddling her fingers in her lap. She seemed nervous, though she knew it was dumb. There was no reason to be nervous. It wasn't like they were going to do anything.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Well…I just saw you out here. And it made me wonder. What's got you so…up tight? Are you upset about something?"

Kagome. He thought, he wasn't sure if he should tell her what was bothering him. Would she even care, he doubted it. But what if she did?

"What does it matter to you?" he said, a fair amount of obstinance in his voice.

"Well…I was just…worried about you."

"W-worried? C'mon Kagome. Why the Hell would you be worried about me? A stupid, ugly, worthless, half-breed hanyou." He shut his mouth hearing his own words. Had he really just let out what he had been meaning to say all along?"

Kagome jumped at his outwardness. Did he really think he was worthless? Did he really think he was stupid and ugly? Maybe he had more mental things plaguing him than she thought.

"Inuyasha…"

"Don't say it. You're going to contradict everything I just said even though you know it's true. You're just going to try to make me feel better."

"No. I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"Inuyasha…listen to me." she said, forcing herself closer to him where their bodies were almost touching.

"You're not stupid. You're extremely smart and clever and I've never met anyone as resourceful as you…except…well…maybe Shippo."

"See? Now you're comparing me to a stupid little kid."

"Inuyasha! That's not what I meant. You didn't let me finish. You're NOT stupid. I don't care how much you want to believe you are but you're not. And another thing. You're not worthless either. Do you have any idea how many times I could have died if you hadn't been there to rescue me? Countless."

"Feh. Yeah. And none of that would have happened if I hadn't gotten you into those things in the first place."

"Don't blame yourself. I got myself into it. Destroying the jewel. All of it."

"Hn. Who cares. Why are you even talking to me."

"Shhh…The last thing…you said you were ugly. I don't think so."

"Y-you don't?"

Kagome smiled sweetly and moved even closer to him where she was laying her head on his shoulder.

"Of course I don't. You're beautiful. You're the most beautiful person I've ever met." She told him, lifting her head and bringing her hand up to touch his cheek. She was about to say something that she thought she would regret. Would she? No. She meant it from the bottom of her heart, from the deepest trenches of her very soul.

"You're my beautiful hanyou, and nothing can ever change that."

Inuyasha was taken aback by her words. She thought he was beautiful. His mother had told him that when he was young, and he had gone on believing it, till he had grown older and thought he had uncovered the truth. Kagome closed her eyes and brought her face up to his, pressing her lips gently against his and taking it all in. Inuyasha did nothing to stop her as she broke away.

"Kagome…I…."

"Don't speak. Come…lay down in my lap…"

Inuyasha nodded hesitantly and did as he was told. He was being stupid. He was tough and he was letting her melt thin ice that surrounded his heart. W-what's wrong with me? As much as he hated to admit it, he loved lying in her lap. Not just as a human, but as a hanyou as well…he just didn't have the guts to admit it when he was a hanyou. He liked it even more in this form, when her intoxicating scent teased his nostrils. It just didn't have the same effect on his human form. Kagome stroked his cheek with her thumb as they gazed out at the scenery, the village with the stream in front, flowing freely just like Kagome and Inuyasha thoughts. Maybe not everyday would have to be a living Hell for the two. A sakura petal fell and landed in Kagome's hand as she held it tightly. This symbolizes our love, even if Kikyo is to come back, I'll never forget this moment. Never. All I want is your happiness and if happiness means you leaving with Kikyo than so be it. But for now you're mine. My beautiful hanyou.
