Wondering



"What's this?" a curious white haired, dog-eared boy asked.

"It's a CD"

"And this?"

"Shampoo. It's good for your hair, try it, it makes your hair smell good." Kagome said.



"- - it makes your hair smell good…" Inu Yasha mocked Kagome's voice. "Yeah right, then I'd smell like… Like… HER. Feh, I don't know. Although, it does smell nice…" Inu Yasha opened the bottle and took a deep breath of it, smelling flowers, fruits and other sweet scents. "Oh, Kagome…"

The dog-eared boy sighed and just sat alone by the water, looking at his own reflection, wondering what she was doing now. He has feelings for her, but after what had happened with Kikyo, he wasn't sure if he should be close to anyone else. He loved Kagome, wanted to be with her only it was a matter of if he could tell her how he felt or not.

"Kagome, I want you to know, why can't I tell you?"

"Tell me what, Inu Yasha?" Kagome stood behind him.

"I, uh, I mean, nothing, nevermind, go away." Inu Yasha tossed the shampoo bottle back at Kagome.

"INU YASHA!" Kagome called. "I want to talk to you!"

Inu Yasha stopped dead in his tracks. She… Wants to talk… To me? But why? He turned around slowly. To meet Kagome's lips.

Scared, Inu Yasha backed away blushing. "What… was… that…?"

"It was a kiss. It's a sign of affection." Kagome said sort of blushing.

"Kagome, listen, I know that you know what happened between Kikyo and me, but, I want you to know…" He trailed his hand along her cheek. "You look so much like her, and I want to be close to you, but I don't want to be hurt, and I don't want to hurt you."

"Inu Yasha…" Kagome stopped when her eyes were welling up with tears.

"Kagome… I've come to a decision, I want you to stay near me. I love you more than the sun and the moon. I love travelling with you more than I do that stupid monk, Master Myoga, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara. I just waited in telling you, because I was a little afraid."

Kagome's heart skipped a beat, and she stood there blushing, almost crying with joy.

"When Kaede put this enchantment on me, where you could say that… That word, I was glad, but, I also didn't want you to do it because of what happens when you say…"

"Inu Yasha…" Kagome started, and Inu Yasha's eyes went wide and he was shaking his head violently. "SIT."

Kagome kissed Inu Yasha again, and just wanted to be near him. Stupid me, I should've known she'd say that God awful word… I'm just embarrassed that I actually told her I love her. It's weird. I just want to hold her, and keep her away from other men. She's mine. I want her to be mine.

*~* Well? How's this for my first Inu Yasha fic? I wanted to have Inu Yasha *~*

*~* telling Kagome how he felt, and this seemed to have a good feel to it. *~*

*~* Comment on it and tell me what you think, kay? *~*



The songs that put me in the mood to write this were "U Got It Bad" by Usher and "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling. Strange how songs just make you want to write, ne?
