Just wanted to put up an Inuyasha story just because I felt like it. Hope doesn't upset ya, but if it does, I really don't care.
Summary: Inuyasha finally got the courage to tell Kagome how he feels, but still can't summon up the courage to tell her half-demons can't have children.

Only I Shall Know
Inuyasha walked through his forest. His steps are energetic and filled with vigor. He seemed to enjoy walks through the woods now-a-days, but then again, who can blame him? Inuyasha's Forest will be gone in a few centuries.
" It's beautiful today." Inuyasha said to no one inparticular. Statements like that weren't often heard by people except himself. The half-demon was a different person when no one was around. Though he'd never tell it to anyone, Inuyasha kept many secrets.
He sighed heavily, things he'd known since childhood are often still mysteries today. With his keen ears, Inuyasha would hear the villagers talk of such questions. He wished to tell them but then thought better not. Then he'd always tell himself.
Only I shall know...
Even from this distance he could overhear villagers spreading false rumors of questions he'd known for decades. Yet another secret he had, Inuyasha was not the age he appeared. Excluding the fifty years of comatose he spent to teh Goshinboku, he was well over a century old. He had lost count somewhere across the line. When you live until another claims your life you tend not to care your age.
It's been long since he'd slain those that teased him as a child. The half-demon had killed each man, woman, and child that provoked him. Either they had been old and feeble or had just started a family he didn't care. Inuyasha had made those people pay for calling him "half-breed" and claiming that he had brought shame to Lady Izayoi, his mother.
Only I shall know...
The half-demon sighed once more. His thoughts drift to what might happened if he slipped one day. Would something important be revealed to unready ears? Could it devastate the way his life went? Especially Kagome knew that...
" Inuyasha!!!" The half-demon heard. It was Kagome, probably worried about him. Ever since they'd confessed that they loved each other she always seemed more worried about where he was.
Inuyasha turned around without replying to Kagome. He thought of if he should tell her that...that...
No... Inuyasha told himself. I will tell her soon, but I need to find the 'right' time.
Inuyasha dropped from those thoughts and walked back toward the village.
Kagome saw Inuyasha's form over the horizon. She knew he had been in the forest but still she wanted him back. Though Naraku was defeated there were still stronger demons in the world.
" Inuyasha, what were you doing." She asked curiously. Inuyasha just carried on with the same pace.
" Keh, wouldn't you like to know." He snapped back half-heartedly. His tone looked to have surprised Kagome. She raised an eyebrow at the half-demon.
" Inuyasha, is something wrong?" Kagome voice wavered with concern. Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. To end his suspicion he looked curiosly at her.
" What do you mean?" Was his response. Inuyasha tone returned to its regular arrogance quickly. Maybe too quickly.
" You look like you've got something on your mind." Kagome stated her reason. The half-demon knew he was backed into a corner.
Tell her! His mind commanded, but he couldn't. just blurt it out! Inuyasha stumbled with with his words.
" It's just that I need to tell you..." Inuyasha stopped mid-sentence. Oh crap! Did I just say that out loud?!
" Tell me what Inuyasha?" Kagome inquired. Her curiousity was raised. What could possibly have Inuyasha so worked up?
" That I love you." Inuyasha half-lied with a smile. He didn't lie about loving her, God knows he does, it's just that isn't his secret. The half-demon held his breath, it wasn't that obvious that he didn't say the truth?
Kagome smiled, oblivious to the lie. " Oh that's all. You had my worried Inuyasha." She said unaware. Inuyasha exhaled, relieved. " Well, I have to finish dinner for the gang so go play with Shippo until it's done, okay?"
" I'll watch the runt." Inuyasha gladly accepted, wanting to get away from the situation.
" Thanks Inuyasha. I love you, too." Kagome spoke and turned to Kaede's hut. When she began to walk, Inuyasha looked around for Shippo. Once he spotted him, Inuyasha began towards him.
You'll have to tell her soon. You have to tell her that half-demon can't have children! His conscience told him. Procrastinating will only make it worse.
I know, He thought. But until the moment comes...
Only I shall know...
Tell if you liked it or not, and if I should stop here or continue on so he will tell her. Whatever you want you might get, but you must review to let me know!
