AUTHORS NOTE: Inuyasha gets very emotional when he turns into human form, and keeps confessing his feelings for Kagome. But when he's healed and back in half demon form, he denies it. Kagome is getting tired of Inuyasha denial. She knows by now that he has feelings for her, and that it was hard for him to express them. After all, the last time he tried to express his feelings for a human he was betrayed and pinned to a tree for 50 years. Kagome knows it's going to be hard for him, but why does he have to keep going back on what he says. It hurts her so much.

Why do you always have to be so inconsiderate," Sango and Miroku heard Kagome yelling coming out of the hut. She stopped passed them, mumbling to herself. Inuyasha wasn't too far behind her. Sango couldn't help but giggle at the black eye that was shinning on the right side of his face.

"What did you say and take back this time Inuyasha," Miroku shook his head.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS MONK," Inuyasha yelled as he knocked Miroku on the back of the head while walking by.

(Mean While)

Kagome was so pissed she didn't stop for the jumping Shippo that was following behind her. "Leave me alone Shippo," Kagome sighed as she kept walking. The kit stopped dead in his tracks. She knew this would hurt his feelings and she would apologize for it later, but right now she just wanted to be alone. Kagome kept walking until she came to a spring, and felt that she was alone.

Kagome sat down by the water and started to cry. She cried until she felt like she had no more tears left to cry. Her body ached, her heart ached, everything ached. She looked longingly at the water, debating on whither or not she should soak in it. The hot springs around here usually helped ease her aches a lot of the times. She had finally gotten use to them actually. She looked around to make sure that Inuyasha hadn't followed her, and then stripped. She walked into the spring till she was about waist deep, and sat down.

The water felt so good on her skin. She relaxed and started to think out loud. "Kikyo, I know that I am the reincarnation of you. How could you put up with Inuyasha? How did you deal with loving him? I guess that's another thing we have in common. No matter what he does, or how much he hurts me, I.. I still love him."

(Mean While) up in the trees

Inuyasha sat listening to Kagome. His heart seemed to be racing, as he listened to Kagomes' confessions of love. "So she really does care for me," he thought to himself. "Why can't I just admit how I feel to her, and mean it." Kagome starting to talk again interrupted his thoughts. The only thing that she said that actually got through to him, really got through to him was the last thing that Kagome said.

"Inuyasha why do you have to always keep hurting me," Kagome began to cry again.

Inuyasha felt like an ass and was bought to the point of tears. "I don't mean to, I'd never hurt you on purpose," Inuyasha said out loud before he noticed it.

Kagome turned and looked around for him. Of course the first place she had to look was in the trees. "Inuyasha!" She screamed as she sunk deeper into the water to cover herself. "What are you doing spying on me now!"

"No, just you shouldn't be out here alone, Wench," Inuyasha said defensively, hoping that Kagome hadn't actually heard what he had said. He hopped down out of the tree and stood by Kagomes' clothes.

Kagome watched, but her mind was on what Inuyasha had said. Or what she thought that he had said. "Do you mind?" She asked bluntly.

Inuyasha looked at her confused for a minute then turned around for Kagome to get her clothes and get dressed. While Kagome was getting dressed she asked Inuyasha, "Did you really mean what you said?" Inuyasha turned around and replied, "I don't know I guess." He looked down at Kagomes' soaked clothes that were now sticking to her body a lot more than usual. It was a little cold out, and her body wasn't responding to it very well. But she wasn't about to tell Inuyasha that she was cold, and he knew that. So out of instinct Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome to keep her warm. Kagome resisted at first, but them invited the warmth. Inuyasha felt strange, but didn't let go. After a few minutes he picked Kagome up, jumped up into the tree, and sat down on one of the branches with her in his arms.

He let her go and let her sit between his legs and cuddle up to him. He wrapped his arms back around her cause he could still tell she was cold by her now visible trembling.

"Aren't we heading back to the village," Kagome questioned, not wanting the cuddling to stop. But she knew that he was just going to deny that he had feelings for her again the next day. So she didn't want to welcome the hurt back again.

"Hell no, and let everybody see you soaked like you are. Your practically naked right now!" Inuyasha huffed. "Besides they'll all think I tried to drown you or something," he added to try and throw off the jealous comment he just made.

Kagome had caught it, and it felt kind of good, "Just like all the rest of the jealous gestures he does." Kagome snuggled back into his arms. She knew tomorrow shed be hating herself for falling right back in his arms like usual, but tonight she welcomed it for now. It wasn't long before her breathing became rythmatic, as she started to fall deeper and deeper into sleep.

Inuyasha was starting to fall asleep himself at the sound of her breathing. "Her breathing sounds so peaceful. She really is so beautiful when she sleeps," he started to think to himself as he himself started to get really tired. Before he did he leaned down to Kagomes' ear and kissed it softly, "I love you Kagome." He felt her sift, and then fell asleep.
