Ok, so its still a oneshot. Just…with 2 chapters! But, seriously, I couldn't leave the last one like THAT, could I? No. so, here.
Inuyasha went to sleep in a random field. He didn't worry about enemies killing him anymore. He didn't value his life that much. He was in constant misery, missing Kagome. Now more than ever.
He awoke the next morning, and looked to his side. He saw Kagome there! Then he saw Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara there, too!
It had been a dream. Kagome hadn't left him. The dream had felt so real, though. He wanted to kiss Kagome. He wanted to dance with joy.
About twenty minutes later, the rest of the gang woke up.
"Are we moving on?" Inuyasha asked after they'd had breakfast.
"No. Some of the villagers said there's been a demon nearby, attacking the village. We should stay a few more nights, incase it attacks again" Miroku answered "Could you and Kagome go get some more food from the village?"
"Ok" Inuyasha said, without his usual pointless arguing. Kagome nodded.
They walked into the village, while Kagome explained what Miroku had told her the demon looked like, incase they saw it.
They saw a man selling cheap food on the corner. While they were buying it, the man started talking about local gossip.
"The demon that was attacking has been slayed!" he exclaimed.
"How?" Kagome asked, curiously.
"A priestess who went by the name of Kikyo slayed it with a single arrow!" he explained "I believe she is currently in the village just south of ours'".
Kagome sighed, as they started walking back to Miroku and Sango.
"Go, Inuyasha" she said, sadly "Go and find her".
Inuyasha remembered his dream. He remembered the unbearable misery of life without Kagome. It hadn't been a dream, it had been a sign. He couldn't have Kagome and Kikyo. He couldn't stay in the same love triangle. It wasn't fair to either of them. Especially Kagome. He had to choose. Who was more important?
"I'm not going to find her" he told her.
"Really?" she said hopefully, yet doubtfully.
"I don't need her. I need you" he told her. She looked at him for a minute. Kagome looked at him with a wide smile on her face. He smiled back.
He suddenly pulled her into a long kiss.
"I love you, Kagome" he told her, pulling out.
"I love you, too, Inuyasha" she replied. And Inuyasha smiled widely. He didn't smirk. He smiled. And then he laughed out of happiness. He didn't chuckle, or snort. He laughed.
Let's recall the episode where they thought Inuyasha had chosen Kikyo over Kagome.
Kagome: I want to see him smile. I want to see him laugh. I want him to be happy. Even if that means sacrificing my feelings over his.
And Kagome got her wish. But, she didn't have to sacrifice anymore.
Originally, I was going to leave it at the last chapter when I thought happy endings were too cliché. But, I think in Kagome and Inuyasha's case, there has to be a happy ending. Yours semi-truly,
hippy-chicky.
