Memories

Inuyasha watched the rain in dismay. There was a thunderstorm outside and the power was knocked out in Kagome's. I was already late afternoon so Kagome was in the kitchen looking for some candle and o course raman.

The house was unusually quiet, with Sota visiting a friend and Kagome's mother and grandfather leaving earlier that day to visit relatives.

He idly watched a raindrop as it lazily rolled down the window, only to land on a puddle by the windowsill. He had never really liked the rain, because it always made his fur wet and had Kagome complaining he smelled like a wet dog.

He wished it would stop soon so the broken power line could be fixed. It was very inconvenient to have the power out, especially since it was supposed to be cold tonight.

His thoughts were cut off as Kagome entered the room yelling; "I found them! And the raman to "

He watched as she carefully put the candles on the table and started to light them one bye one. Soon the room was aglow with candlelight, a smile formed on her lips as she set up the table with the food she had just made he was guessing.

"I also found this beside the candles," she said as she took out a small battery-operated radio out of the kitchen.

She put it in the middle of the table and turned it on, an upbeat song filling the room.

He watched as she started to hum, singing out the parts that she knew. He had never heard he sing before and was surprised to hear her sweet, clear voice. It was so different then the one he was use to usually heard from her, which was all, filled with anger.

He started to clap as she sang the last word, eliciting a blush from her. She seemed to have forgotten that he was even in the room and gave an embarrassed bow before sitting next to him.

She seemed to be avoiding his gaze but started to relax as the meal progressed. After hey had cleared their plates, Kagome went and stood by the window and sighed.

"This brings back memories," she said to no one in particular.

"Like what" he asked as he watched her turn around and sit back down across from him.

"I remember when I was five," she said softly. "There was a thunderstorm just like think one. The power went out just before bedtime and Sota and I was so scared of the dark. We sneaked into our parents room and begged them to let us sleep with them."

A smiled formed on her lips as she remembered more of that night "they refused at first, but they gave in when the realized we had no intention of leaving."

She then gave a chuckled. "We drove them crazy scream after every clap of thunder. Daddy even swore he had gone deaf."

He watched her closely as she told him the story. He noticed her eyes turning brighter with each word as she relived a happy moment in her childhood. He was glad she trusted him enough to tell her most treasured memories. He wished he could tell her a special childhood memory of his own, but sadly, all he remembered was Sesshoumaru being an asshole.

She was still smiling as she finishes her story; a comfortable silence between them as another song started to play on the radio. He unconsciously started to sing along, causing Kagome to smile at him with wonder before she to started to sing.

After awhile, Inuyasha stood up and held out a hand. "May I have this dance?" he asked her, his eyes twinkling with amusement as she stood up and did an exaggerated bow.

"I'd love to," she said with a silly grin as they started to dance, their laughter filling the room with each mistake they made.

A slow, romantic song started to play and he instinctively brought her closer to him. His hands moved from her waist to the small of her back as she rested her head on his shoulder.

He started to blush as he realized what they were doing and was about to apologize to Kagome for acting on impulse when he noticed that she was still smiling and was making to objections.

He relaxed and decided to just enjoy the moment. He noticed for the first time the intoxicating scent of her shampoo. It smelled like lemons and it reminded him of the lemon meringue pie that they we supposed to have for desert.

Inuyasha mentally laughed at his last thought. Baka, hers the perfect time to tell her how u fell and u think about food.

After the last few bars of the song played, he reluctantly gout out of the cozy embrace and tried to gather courage.

"K-Kagome." he said as he swallowed the lump on his throat nervously. "...I..."

"Yes?" she asked a slight blush on her cheeks as her mind informed her that she had enjoyed the dance TOO much.

Inuyasha also noticed the blush that he thought made her even cuter. He felt his courage dissolve and his brain turn to mush as she looked up at him.

"...I..." he mumbled nervously as he tried to find the words that he had waited so long to say.

They stood in silence for a couple minutes in the warm, candle- scented air, their hearts beating wildly as they watched each other from the corners of their eyes.

Finally, Kagome broken the silence by saying, "I had fun too." She then smiled before giving him a small peck on his cheek.

Inuyasha, in his shock, could only nod his head in agreement as he watched her ascend the stairs. A smile formed on his face as the last couple of minutes replayed in his mind.

He might not have been able to tell her how he felt, but he knew that he'd remember this night forever.

THE END Gangsta- girl: Well that's the end of this story. I have no idea why I am suddenly writing romantic type fics. I really don't have a lot of experience writing these types of stories, so if u hated it/loved it tell me!
What song were they dancing to? An instrumental of "Beauty and the beast" of course the song fits the mood you know "Both a little scared, neither one prepared..."
