I Need You

AN: Konnichiwa people. I just wanted to let you know that I had some help on this so don't give me all the credit if you like it. If you just absolutely hate it then don't blame it all on me. Oh yeah and we don't own Inuyasha unfortunately. –sniffles- I wish we did though. That would be awesome. Ja ne people.

Chapter 1

It was dark and rainy outside and Kagome still hadn't returned. Inuyasha was pacing back and forth in Kaede's hut. "Inuyasha would you please stop it? You are making me dizzy." Exclaimed the demon slayer.

"Well she has been gone for four days. She said she would be back by yesterday. What if something happened to her?"

"Calm down Inuyasha." Miroku stated. "I'm sure something just cam….."

"AAAHHHHHH!" everyone heard a piercing scream coming from outside.

"That sounds like Kagome." Inuyasha said running out of the hut. "Kagome! Kagome what happened?" Inuyasha asked looking down at the girl whom he was holding in his hands. Concern showing in his eyes.

"I…Inuyasha." She whispered before passing out. At that time he realized she had a large bleeding gash on her side. In a hurry he carefully picked her up and rushed her inside.

"Kaede, Kaede!" Inuyasha screamed.

"What is it Inuyasha?" The elder woman asked.

"Kaede. It's Kagome. She passed out. You got to help her."

"I will see what I can do child. I will need some herbs and hot water."

"I'll get them." Inuyasha said leaving the room to get herbs and hot water. He came back a few minutes later.

"Thank ye child. Now ye and the monk leave the room so Sango and myself can heal her." They did as they were told.

Once outside Inuyasha was pacing back and forth in the rain. "Come on what's taking so long?" He asked no one unparticular.

"Calm down Inuyasha. I'm sure she'll be fine." Miroku stated, trying to re assure himself as well as his friend.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN! You expect me to calm down when the woman I love is in there possibly dieing!" Inuyasha's eyes widened and he slapped a hand over his mouth when he realized what he had said. A perverted grin spread over Miroku's face. "If you DARE! Tell her monk. I'll rip your insides out and feed them to the birds!"

"I won't tell her Inuyasha. But you should." A few minutes later Kaede came out of the hut.

"How is she? Is she going to be ok?" Inuyasha asked worried.

"She's going to be just fine Inuyasha. Some poison was injected to her side but we got it all out now so she will be fine by morning. Just as happy as ever." Kaede said. Inuyasha gave a sigh of relief. The next morning Kagome woke to the sound of arguing. "Inuyasha and Shippou." Kagome thought. Kagome frowned. She didn't know how but she felt different. Her side was hurting really bad and she didn't know why.

"You little runt! I am not hopeless! I swear one of these days I'm going to give you the thunder brothers so they can torcher and Kill you!"

"Don't say that Inuyasha." Kagome said making herself noticed. Inuyasha turned his head to face her.

"Kagome. Are you alright?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yes. Why?"

"Because you had poison injected in your side last night and you fainted. The poison is all gone now though. Your side might hurt you for a few hours though."

"Oh no wonder my side feels funny. I'm fine now. Thanks for worrying Inuyasha." She smiled making him turn away and blush.

"Feh."

"Well since I'm better now we can go looking for the shards of the Shikon Jewel." Kagome was surprised when Inuyasha shook his head.

"No way, you're going to go lay down until you're entirely healed."

"Then what will you do Inuyasha?" Inuyasha smiled a heart warming smile and blushed at the same time.

"I'll be right here watching over you of course." Kagome blushed as Inuyasha picked her up and carried her to bed.

"Thanks Inuyasha." She said while falling asleep.

"No problem." He whispered back. He laid her in her sleeping bag on the floor and just sat there watching over her just like he promised he would. There was no way he was going to let anything bad happen to her. She meant the world to him. If she ever died, he had always told himself that he was going to follow her in death if she ever died before him. "She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. I think that's what I love most about her. She always has a smile on her face. Well not always, but most of the time. I love it when she smiles. It makes me want to smile back. It's like her pain is my pain and her happiness is my happiness. I love her so much. But how do I tell her?" Inuyasha asked himself. Kagome's eyes flew open. Proving that she hadn't been as asleep as he had thought. "I…..uh…..um……What I mean is….." Inuyasha trailed off as Kagome sat up and kissed him. Inuyasha kissed her back. "Her lips are so tender. So full of life and meaning. Unlike Kikyo on the other hand. When she kissed me a few months ago, her lips were so dry and cold. I couldn't feel any love or meaning in her lips at all." Inuyasha thought to himself. Kagome pulled away, slightly smirking at the gaping hanyou.

"Nice to know you care." She whispered.

"Why wouldn't I care Kagome?" Inuyasha asked embracing her. Miroku, Sango and Shippou were watching from a distance. Only Miroku was covering Shippou's eyes.

"Hey what are they doing? I want to see too." Shippou whined.

"This is not for young eyes." Replied Miroku. He suddenly glanced at Sango. "You know Sango me and you could….."-SLAP- "Never mind." Muttered Miroku, now with a red hand print on his face.

Inuyasha and Kagome looked over and saw Sango, Miroku and Shippou. Inuyasha and Kagome walked over to where they were. "What are you three doing?" Inuyasha asked glaring at Miroku.

"We were………..ummm………….just going, right houshie?" Sango asked looking nervous.

"Hai, ((That means yes in Japanese for all you people who don't know.)) of course let's go." He grabbed Shippou and they ran off as fast as they could.

"Should we follow them?" Kagome asked.

"No." Inuyasha said brushing his lips against hers. She depend the kiss making it more passionate. Kagome pulled away and grinned.

"This makes things so much more interesting." Inuyasha gave her is oh so heart warming smile.

"I love you Kagome." He said still smiling.
