InuYasha's Declaration
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing of InuYasha.
When I seen Kagome at the bottom of the well looking up at me, I felt my heart jumping through my chest. I stretched my arm down to pull her up and when her hand found mine, I was practically hyperventilating. Her skin was so warm, and smooth, and silky.
I could hardly believe it. I remember asking myself if I was dreaming. I answered that with; of course not. I don't have a wide enough imagination to dream up something so beautiful and perfect and magnificent standing below me looking up at me with her dazzling blue grey eyes with her thick black lashes. With a smile that could rival the sun.
I pulled her up out of the well and like the idiot I am all I could say was "It's about time Kagome" I mentally beat myself up for that. What I wanted to do was to pull her to me and kiss her as of my life depended on it, though it partially did. If she were hurt I would be hurting on the inside. If she had died I wouldn't be able to live with myself. All I wanted to do now that she was back in my arms was to never let her get away.
So while I was contemplating all of this my Koibito walked towards me and wrapped her arms around me and laid her head on my chest. I stood there stunned for a half a second before I returned her gesture. When I pulled her away from me I lifted her chin and bent down and kissed her softly on her compelling lips. Going slowly to gauge her reaction. I was surprised to see her return the kiss. I think it was then and there that I decided that with her, I wanted to start a new life. Like the one that Miroku and Sango led with their children.
Hardly any words were said in the short time she got here, but I didn't care. I had known her for years, and I had loved her since I had first laid eyes on her. I knew I should have done this properly but I knew her, inside and out, I knew she wouldn't care if I didn't have a ring right then.
"Kagome," I said to her, "I love you." Isn't it amazing what just three little words could mean. What they could do to your future.
She looked up at me and said "I love you too, InuYasha." Hearing those words made my heart stop for just a moment, I regained my composure so she wouldn't notice what those words did to me, especially those words coming from her mouth.
I looked her into the eyes and smiled, not my usual smirk, this was a real smile. I saw her eyes sparkle when I did. That made her look even more angelic.
Then I took her hand and said " Koibito, marry me?"
I saw her tear up and then she said yes. Repeatedly. My god I love this wondrous angel in my arms.
