This is my first fanfiction. Please review honestly and completely. Rated T for some mild sexual content and violence. Major parings, Inuyasha and Kagome. This is a continuation of movie two, had Miroku not spoiled the mood later by putting the moves on Sango, prompting the argument where Inuyasha accused Kagome of "forcieng herself" on him (the fool).

Enjoy.

Legality: As if there were a doubt, all characters and the series are not my own.

Prologue

"I love you as a half demon, Inuyasha,

"I love you, I love you as a half demon"

It was at that moment I first kissed Inuyasha...

"Inuyasha, are you gonna be okay now"

"Kagome, are you nuts? I could have really hurt you! I'll stay a half demon a little while longer, just for you."

Kaguya almost killed us and turned Inuyasha into a monster…I was so worried about him…

Chapter 1: The girl who overcame time overcomes Inuyasha

It was late, the day after they killed Kaguya. Everyone was quite…the initial joy at defeating Kaguya was quickly stifled by the knowledge that not only was Naraku still alive, but that he had allowed himself to be killed, they had in fact been working as his pawns. The battle against Naraku took a lot out of everyone, and Inuyasha almost was absorbed into Naraku. Naraku had almost won, and he was trying to loose that battle. The final battle against Naraku would undoubtedly be a far greater challenge. But for now, everyone was glad to have a brief respite. The small band was sitting out by the fire, no one talking, Sango looking as if she were about to cry, torn once again from her brother. One person, though, was missing. Kagome was trying, and failing, to sleep when she noticed his absence.

"Where did Inuyasha go?"

"I saw him go out towards the woods," answered Miroku, "didn't say why."

Inuyasha…where are you going to…

"I wouldn't worry too much about him Kagome, after all…" Miroku looked up mid speech to see Kagome scampering out to the woods.

……………………..

Meanwhile, in the woods about 300 yards away Inuyasha was up on a tree branch, uncharacteristically deep in thought.

"Inuyasha!" cried Kagome

"Kagome…"

"What's wrong…why aren't you with the others?"

"Kagome…we need to talk"

Inuyasha leapt down from his tree, landing a foot from Kagome. He looked in her eyes with a mix of fear and wonderment and held her hands, drawing them close to himself.

"Kagome…back when I was…changing. And before by the lake…when you said you wanted me to be a half demon…why?"

"It's just that…I like you the way you are…"

"That's not what you said when I was transforming…you said you…loved me…as a half demon…"

Kagome's face turned a shade of pink. What's going on here, is this really happening?

"You love me, don't you Kagome…I don't understand…why would you love a…a…half breed," Inuyasha said, holding back the tears in his eyes.

"Inuyasha…don't you get it! I don't care what you are. Even if you turned into a full blooded demon that would kill me, as well as Sango, Miroku, Shippo…I would still love you…I…I want to be with you…to help you and love you…" said Kagome, in a very soft voice, afraid of what he might say in response.

Inuyasha took a half step back, mind was reeling. The only person who actually loved him for who he was and accepted him was his mother. His brother, his mother's friends and family, not even Kikyo ever accepted him completely. Sesshomaru was disgusted with his "dirty blood" and Kikyo wouldn't be with him unless he became human. Inuyasha caught Kagome in an embrace, and held her head to his chest.

"Kagome...I never thought, I mean, that you would actually love me...as I am…I…Love you…but I never really thought that…that you…could love…"

"Inuyasha…"

Inuyasha drew Kagome in to a passionate kiss, not a crass and possessing kiss like so many lovers their age, but a kiss that was tender and firm, as if with this kiss they were trying to give all that they were to each other. The kiss lasted for but a few seconds, or a hundred years, neither Kagome nor Inuyasha could have told you.

"Inuyasha…the others will be wondering about us…"

Inuyasha leaned his head down and touched his forehead with hers

"Yeah…we should get back…"

And the two walked back to camp hand in hand.
