To be with You
Chapter 1: The Wish
It was over. After two long years of searching and fighting Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Songo, and Shippou had finally defeated Naraku and completed the Sacred Jewel. Songo, Miroku, and Shippou had taken Kirara to the graves of the demon slayers to pay their respects now that the culprit of their murder had been killed leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone.
'But what will happen now?' Kagome wondered. After all they had been through together what would happen to her now. She wasn't just about to go back to her time and pretend that it had never happened. 'How could she ever forget Shippou in his pink balloon form, Miroku and his 'mischief' and Songo clobbering him for it.' Kagome's eyes widened as she realized the greatest truth of all.
"What about Inuyasha?" she whispered to herself.
"You say somethin' wench?" Inuyasha called back in his trademark half annoyed- half didn't care voice.
That snapped her out of her trance.
"Oh, uhh, no."
"Keh, humans." Grumbled the hanyou.
Kagome smiled inwardly. She knew Inuyasha acted tough, but beneath the rough façade he was just a sad little kid deprived of a childhood.
'Well, a sad little kid with the most adorable ears she had ever seen.'
She let out a small giggle at the thought which earned her a piercing glance from Inuyasha. She sighed and walked ahead to hold Inuyasha's arm. He stared at her with a raised eyebrow for a moment until he regained composure.
"Keh. Get off me wench, unless you break somethin' you can walk just fine on yer own."
Kagome glared at him for a moment but smiled again.
Just as they were nearing the village, they paused for a moment at the edge of Inuyasha's Forest.
'Oh Inuyasha' thought Kagome 'now that our journey has ended I'm beginning to realize how I really feel about you. I love you, and I feel so sorry for you about your past. If I could take the pain away I would. If I knew how you felt maybe I could help you.'
"Inuyasha?"
"Humph?"
"I'll miss you."
"Look Kagome, just because the jewel is complete and Naraku is dead doesn't mean you have to leave." Inuyasha said, his voice gradually rising with frustration. "This doesn't change a damn thing. The day you ever have to leave this time, have to leave me is the day that bastard brother of mine gives me a hug. If he still can with just one arm." He added with a smirk.
"Its okay Inuyasha, you don't have to act tough around me." Kagome said in a small voice. " I know how hard your life has been but I don't know how you feel. I just wish there was some way I did, so we could stay together."
He opened his mouth to say something bet suddenly, there was a flash of brilliant pink light. Before she realized what was happening Inuyasha's eyes went wide with sheer terror.
"No…… oh FUCK no….NOOOO!"
That was the last thing she heard before she blacked out.
