Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or places of Inuyasha. I just own this story.

Chapter 2

Kagome was somewhat shell-shocked about all this. She just couldn't believe that Inuyasha was being so nice to her. She always knew that he could be nice, but not this nice and not all in one day.

No, today he was mostly pleasant. They hadn't even started fighting yet and the possibility of that happening was very low today. It just made no sense to Kagome, but she was trying to enjoy it as much as possible.

"This is really good Kagome," Inuyasha said biting into a rice ball.

"Thanks Inuyasha," Kagome said with a small smile.

Inuyasha turned and caught Kagome staring at him. "What?"

"It's just…you've been so nice today," Kagome said. She turned and looked over towards the ocean. "And you showed me this awesome place. It must be really special to you."

"It is, you're the only person that I've ever brought here," Inuyasha replied.

"Really," Kagome asked.

"Yeah, even Kikyo doesn't know about this place," Inuyasha explained.

At the mention of Kikyo's name, Kagome's mood soured a bit, but she tried to shake off the feeling.

"Kagome, I brought you here because…," Inuyasha started but he didn't try to finish, he just couldn't.

"You brought me here because," Kagome asked.

"Because well, sometimes you remind me of my mother Kagome," Inuyasha said quietly.

"I remind him of his mother," Kagome thought.

"My mother had been the only one to shed tears for me, but then you came along and changed that," Inuyasha said. "She also worried about me a lot and she was always there for me, just as you've been there Kagome."

Kagome could feel herself blushing. What exactly was he trying to say to her.

"You must miss her," Kagome replied.

"I do, but it's easier to bear when you're with me," Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered leaning her head on his shoulder.

They sat like that for a few minutes just enjoying each other's company then Inuyasha finally broke the silence.

"Kagome."

"Yes," Kagome murmured, inhaling Inuyasha's scent and closing her eyes.

"There's something I want to tell you," Inuyasha said.

Kagome opened her eyes and sat up.

"What is it," she asked after turning to look into his amber eyes.

"Well…Kagome," he said, his breathing was a tad bit shallow now and a blush was rising on his face.

"Yes," Kagome asked a little worried now. She wondered if he would tell her that he didn't want her around anymore. Maybe that was why he was being so nice, he was going to say goodbye.

"That must be it," Kagome thought, tears already welling up in her eyes.

"Kagome, I love you," he said.

"What," Kagome whispered surprised. She thought that she must be hearing things. She had to be.

"I love you Kagome," he said again. Those words filled Kagome like helium gas, if she had been a balloon she would have floated up to space, never to be seen again.

"You're always on my mind, and when you're gone I can't stand it," he started. "I love it when you laugh and smile, and you're so kind and you don't expect anything from me."

"Inuyasha," she whispered.

"And you're so beautiful, I just love seeing you," he continued. "Would you, will you stay with me forever?"

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered again hugging him tightly.

"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered returning the hug.

"You don't know how long I've wanted you to say that," Kagome replied hugging him tighter. "I love you too Inuyasha."

"And I thank you for that Kagome, I don't deserve it," Inuyasha whispered into her hair as he stroked her back.

After the hug ended they looked at each other for a long moment. They slowly began to lean towards each other. Kagome closed her eyes in anticipation. She had only kissed Inuyasha once, but that had been when she had needed stop him from becoming a full-demon. Now she would be able to enjoy kissing him.

Or at least that had been what she thought.

Suddenly Inuyasha pushed away and he retreated backward. In the next second a sacred arrow flew towards them missing them both by only inches. The arrow tore through the field of flowers with horrible force.

Inuyasha and Kagome both turned to see Kikyo standing a few yards away from them. A dark look was on Kikyo's face, her eyes screamed anger.

"Inuyasha," she shouted, "that girl really does mean more to you than I do."

"Kikyo," Inuyasha muttered.

"If I can't have you no one can," Kikyo shouted positioning her next arrow towards Kagome.

"KAGOME," Inuyasha shouted just as Kikyo shot her arrow straight for Kagome.

Kagome who was still shocked by Kikyo's prescience couldn't move, her brown eyes were locked with Kikyo's nearly black ones.

"DIE," Kikyo shouted.

Inuyasha was on the move. He ran straight for Kagome as the arrow moved into position. The arrow was set to pierce Kagome's beating heart.

A/N: That's the end of chapter two. Yeah, it was probably a bit fluffy, Inuyasha was probably somewhat out of character, and their moment was ruined on top of that too. Kikyo is just totally wrong for ruining their moment!! Anyway until the next chapter this is goodbye.
