Chapter Two: A Long Night

"What is this Kagome?" InuYasha asked, poking at the food in front of him.
"That's an omelet and those are hot dogs." Kagome replied with pride. She also named off some of the other stuff too but InuYasha wasn't paying much attention.
"Oh…okay. They are really good Kagome." InuYasha said stuffing his face with the food.
"Thanks InuYasha. What would you like to do tonight?"
"Is it okay if we just stay here tonight? I need some rest."
"Yeah it would be okay."

Kagome went back to silently eating her dinner. InuYasha finished up and Kagome took both of their dishes over the sink and washed them then put them away. Kagome didn't know what InuYasha wanted to do and since she wasn't like her brother who liked video games. Kagome couldn't entertain InuYasha with that.

"Kagome is it okay if I talk to you?" InuYasha asked.
"Yeah…it's okay. You don't have to ask InuYasha." Kagome replied.
"Well…I don't know how to say this so I'm going to come out with it." InuYasha said.
"You don't need to InuYasha. I already know." Kagome said walking up the stairs to her room, assuming InuYasha was going to talk about something else.
"You do?" InuYasha questioned trying to think who would tell Kagome.
"Yeah, it's no secret." Kagome replied.
"Wait a minute. Are we talking about the same thing?" InuYasha asked.
"You were going to tell me that you want to be with Kikyo eventually." Kagome said going into her bedroom and sitting down on her bed with her back up against the wall.
"No. That's not even close." InuYasha stated flatly, walking into the room and stood in front of Kagome.

The last ray of sunlight came beaming through the bedroom window. As soon as the sun went down InuYasha's hair changed to the color of black and his eyes became hazel in color. His claws shrunk down to regular fingernail size.

"What do you mean InuYasha? What else could you be talking about?"
"I was going to say I want to be with you." InuYasha simply stated, not elaborating much more than that.
"You are with me InuYasha." Kagome said with some confusion in her voice.
"Kagome, what I meant was that I love you and I want to be with you." InuYasha rushed through the statement.

Kagome just stared at InuYasha not knowing what to say. Then she thought of something though it wasn't in the direction InuYasha was wanting.

"InuYasha I'm sorry but I can't be with you. You should go back through the well. Kikyo can take better care of you." Kagome said, getting up to push InuYasha out of her room. "You don't need to tell me what I want to hear. As I said it's okay. I've know about this from the beginning."
"Kagome, you don't understand. I. Love. You and only you. Please don't push me away." InuYasha said, standing his ground.
"I'm sorry InuYasha but…sit boy."

InuYasha immediately fell to the ground and Kagome pulled him out of her room and out of the house. When she went back in she completely locked up the house and went up to her room and went to her bed.

"Kagome! Let me in!" InuYasha yelled up to her window.
"Go away InuYasha!" Kagome yelled from in her room.

It had been a stressful day and she was tired. So Kagome decided to lie down and go to sleep. She figured InuYasha had gone back to the feudal era so she thought she didn't have anything to worry about concerning her bedroom window. InuYasha jumped up to the tree limb and sat down and decided to wait for a little bit. When InuYasha thought that Kagome had finally gone to sleep he snuck in through the window and sat down in front of Kagome. He just sat there staring at Kagome and how beautiful she was. He was astonished with himself how he had opened up to Kagome but Kagome had the effect on him. He could tell her anything and he felt safe. He just hoped that Kagome wouldn't push him away.
