Kagomes POV
I vaguely remember Kagura... I was waiting on Sango to return with my stuff so I could come back, and then Kagura, she was behind me... "die wench!" her voice was still in my head... she slid something cold into my back... and then everything began to get blurry... Kirara had morphed into her demon form and was trying to fight Kagura, but was too late... I had already been hurt.. Then I remembered Inuyasha, he was there...he held me, and threatened to kill Kagura... I think he asked me to never leave him... but I'm not sure, things got kinda fuzzy after that thing with Kagura...I blinked and then scoped out my surroundings... I wasn't quiet sure where I was. Normally if I was hurt I just got taken to Kaeda... but this was not her hut, there was a heart monitor, which gave it away... I was in a hospital room, my back ached, and I wondered how bad it was. I looked in the corner and saw Inuyasha sitting in a chair. Asleep, I love him so much... wait why do I keep doing this to myself... I am no Kikyo, and that's who he wants. My mother came in the room, followed by the doctor. "ms. Higurashi you are awake, that is very good... we were a little worried... the womb in your back isn't too deep, but you lost a lot of blood, that my dear is why you passed out. We stitched up your back and have been giving you blood. I'm glad to see you are awake, and doing well. You will have to stay the night though... just so we know that you are okay. Do you feel much pain?" "I don't feel too much pain, but yes I feel a little." the doctor looked at his clipboard. "umm, a nurse will be in here to give you more pain medication." "okay thank you sir."... the doctor smiled and left the room. "oh dear, I am so glad you are okay, Inuyasha was so worried, I think this is the first time he's slept even a minute. Would you like some food honey?" I looked at her suddenly realizing I was hungry. "umm yes please." my mother smiled and walked out of the room. By this time Inuyasha was awake and beside me. "Kagome, are you okay? I am so sorry." I was surprised, he was generally worried... "Inuyasha I am fine, I know you were there, and I know you saved me" I looked up at him and smiled. He looked like he hadn't slept in days... how long had it been... I think only a day. "Kagome, I am so sorry I was such a jerk... I promise I will never leave you again... I never wanted you to get hurt..." I looked at him, his eyes were full of dismay and worry... "Inuyasha?" "Yes Kagome?" "will you sit with me?" I scotched over, and patted the space beside me. "yeah sure." he got in my bed and laid down next to me... we were face to face. Both on one side when Inuyasha did the unthinkable... he pulled me close to him, and held me... his body it was so warm, so comforting, and the way he was breathing on my neck... oh I thought I was going to melt. "Kagome...I have never been that worried in my life... I never want to loose you... I care too much about you" was this really happening? My mother has a habit of ruining happy moments, and at this point she walked in. "I am back dears, I brought you some food from WacDonalds." Inuyasha let go of me and blushed like crazy, as did I... I watched him eat his burger and fries, as I ate mine, slowly though. "Kagome dear, I have to go home and take care of Grandpa and Sota, will you and Inuyasha be okay?" I looked at him and smiled. "I will always be okay when I am with Inuyasha mom." she smiled and walked out of the room... as she left the nurse finally came in to give me my pain medication.
Inuyashas POV
I cant believe I actually told her that... I must have really been afraid that time... but do I really feel that way about her... of course you do you fool... or you wouldn't have told her... you wouldn't have wanted to kiss her so bad before her mother came back, with that strange food... and you wouldn't be so excited to sleep next to her. I was so happy that she was okay, and awake now... that pain medication must be good. I was standing in the middle of the room, looking at Kagome. "what are you looking at?" I heard her voice say... "I was...err...umm...I was just...looking...I was...looking at... you." I finally finished the sentence... I was blushing, and I could feel it, so I turned around... "Inuyasha, lay down next to me, please?" I sat down in the bed, taking in her lovely scent. "okay." I turned on my side, and she on hers... I was so close, we were face to face... her lips were right there... I just want to kiss her so bad...but why?? You care about her you idiot... no you love her, more than you ever loved Kikyo. Kikyo never made you feel this way... never, when your with Kagome you feel like you are on cloud 9, whatever that means...I wrapped my arms around her, and I held her tightly. "Inuyasha... what are you?" she pulled away a little bit, here was my chance. I looked down at her, and then I kissed her... just like that, she slowly closed her eyes and kissed me back... I was ecstatic. The kiss ended before I wanted it too, and Kagome, she laid her head on my chest... she was slowly drifting too sleep as I played with her hair, which was so soft,as were her lips...she was such a sweet girl... "my little angel" I said out loud...Kagome who I thought was asleep began to speak, quietly. "I love you...Inuyasha...more than you know" she fell asleep right after that... she loves me, but why? She deserves much better than a stupid hanyou... I am such a jerk... why did she fall for me, she deserves so much better... and yet, I want her for myself. I held her tightly and felt myself falling asleep, I still had that dumb hat her ma threw at me in the car on... made my ears itch, but when I was around Kagome it didn't bother me, I allowed myself to fall asleep... and wished this moment would never end.
Kagomes POV
I woke up with my arms wrapped around Inuyasha, and his around me, my back didn't hurt as much, and I wondered why? Why wasn't I in pain? Inuyasha was still asleep... I wonder what happened last night, then it hit me like an eighteen wheeler truck... we had kissed for a long time... we kissed.. Thinking back, I really enjoyed that kiss, I wanted to do it again... but why did he kiss me? is he beginning to care for me, like the way I care for him? "Of course he is beginning to care for you, you stupid woman... you have his heart, and I... I no longer have his heart... I will get you for taking him away from me! if I can't have him... then no one can, not even the reincarnation of me!" her voice was beginning to fade. was this just in my head. It had to be because Inuyasha was still sleeping... how did she get in my head, how could she have done that... I am only supposed to hear my own thoughts, but she threatened me. I know I shouldn't be afraid, but I am. As if reading my mind Inuyasha woke up. "Kagome, what is wrong, why are you afraid?" how did he know, oh yeah... he is a dog demon, sense of smell... "I am afraid of the hospital and I just want to go home... that is all." I lied through my teeth, and I smiled... I hoped he bought it...he looked at me for a second... "okay.. they should release you today..." he held me tightly for a moment... he tried to sit up, but I pulled him back down, and then I did something I never thought I would. I reached up and touched his lip, and then I kissed him... I couldn't stand it any longer, I had to feel his soft lips again... I felt magic when we kissed, a feeling I never wanted to end... as if summoned my mom entered the room. "hello.. Hhmmm, you two, how was your night?" I broke the kiss and blushed like crazy. "it was fine Mrs. Higurashi, thank you for asking." "the doctor said you are free to go darling." she smiled at me, and I pulled the IV out... Inuyasha picked me up... I looked at him and smiled. " Inuyasha I can walk." he looked down at me. "I am carrying you, so shut up and get used to it." thats my Inuyasha...
