Ughhh...well, it's official. I feel like shit. But if there is one thing that cures stomachaches, it's FLUFF! So I decided to write this one shot. You know, my favorite part of every fic (aside from the fluff) is the part where the guy and the girl confess that they love each other. As I write this note, I realize that I never would have thought I would turn out to be a sucker for romance when I was 10. Heh. Don't own nothing. READ THIS TO THE END! IT HAS A FLUFFY ENDING!

"SIT!"

Yes, this passed as a normal day for them. Inuyasha says something he doesn't mean, Kagome gets angry, they argue, sit. But after that something not so normal happened.

"Wench! What was that for?"

"You know what it was for!"

"What, going to talk to Kikyou? Is there a problem with that? Am I your SLAVE, made to do your bidding? Well I'm sorry your MAJESTY, but that isn't about to happen! Now come on, we need to find more jewel shards."

"You insensitive jerk! Find the damned shards yourself!" She took all of the shards she had and threw them at Inuyasha. "Hope you find happiness with Kikyou, jerk!"

"Kagome, you get over here right n-"

"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

Inuyasha was in a deep crater.

"I'm leaving and I sincerely hope that I NEVER see you again! I hate you!" With that, she jumped through the well.

When she got to the other side, she looked for something, anything to cover up the well, the well that led to the hanyou that had her so confused. She eventually convinced her grandpa to line the edges with strong metal and weld it shut.

"There, now he won't come!"

But you know you want him to.

'No I don't! I hate him!'

No you don't. You love him. You're just too afraid. Afraid that he'll reject, go to Kikyou, afraid that he will laugh and condemn you to be his shard detector forever.

'No! That's not true!'

I'm your conscience, girl, I know what's true and what isn't. I know everything about you.

Kagome didn't respond. She was having an argument with herself, and to make it worse, she was LOSING.

'But then, I always lose arguments.'

She went up to her room and lay down on her bed.

'I can live a normal life now. A normal life, no demons, no shards, no Inuyasha.' She thought that that made her happy. But deep down, she knew she was nothing but a royal fool.

'Who am I kidding. I can't live a normal life. I lost all chances of that the day I fell through that damned well.'

(With Inuyasha)

This is ALL my fault. I drove her away. Why? Why did I? Inuyasha asked himself this, but he knew the answer already. Because of my damned pride and my damned tongue. I can't control either of them!

Shippo came to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, where's Kagome?"

He felt himself almost cry. Almost. But he held back the tears and hid his eyes in the shadow off his bangs. "I don't think she's coming back."

"Why not?" Realization dawned on him. "You made her leave, didn't you?"

No reply.

"You did! I knew it! I HATE YOU!" Shippo ran away from the Goshinbaku, crying.

Inuyasha had heard that so much in his life. It didn't hurt though. It didn't hurt when Shippo said it, when Sango said it, when Miroku said it.

But it absolutely killed him when Kagome said it.

How? How does she have such an effect on me? He pulled a golden locket out of his haori. Inside it where two pictures. One was of him, yelling something at someone, most likely Kagome. The other was her yelling at someone, most likely him. A single tear fell down onto the item. The proverbial levies broke, and tears began to stream down his face. His body was wracked by sobs. He couldn't help but realize the truth, then and there. The truth that he was in love with this girl from 500 years in the future. In love with this girl who always 'sat' him when he hit Shippo. In love with this girl that could melt a block of steel with her smile. In love with this girl who could bring someone out of the worst depression with her laugh. In love with this girl that had such a kind heart and always forgave him and came back, no matter what.

Hating himself for driving this girl away forever.

He couldn't hold it in anymore. He fell out of the Goshinbaku and cried oceans, pounding on the ground, sobbing with enough force to destroy a village. He hated himself. He could see why everyone hated him, now. Because no matter what, his pride came first and other people came second.

He was forced to accept everything at once, the whole truth. The girl whom he loved oh so much was never coming back. He would never be the same. He didn't care about Kikyou, not at all. She could go to Hell for all he cared.

And you know what? Just because, he drove Kagome away, he might just go with her.

No.

He would NOT give up.

No.

He would NOT go running to someone else.

No!

He would NOT let his pride get in the way any longer.

No!

He would control his tongue if it killed him!

NO!!

And he sure as hell was NOT going to stand by and wonder if she was coming back!

He was going to get her.

He was going to apologize for everything.

He was going to show her that he cared.

He was going to lower all of the barriers he had placed over the years.

He was going to burn them down, destroy them, ANNIHILATE them for this girl.

He was going to show her that he loved her.

And with Kami as his witness, he vowed to stay by her side. Forever. Until the day he died. Even if it meant spending the rest of his days sitting by her grave.

He got off the ground and ran at full speed towards the well.

He jumped in, going to Kagome.

When he emerged on the other side and jumped up, he felt something give way to his head. When he looked back, the was a large Inuyasha-size hole in a sheet of metal that had been fused to the well.

Keh. As if that'd stop me.

He jumped up to her windowsill to find her sleeping. He could smell the tears, even through the closed window. That meant she had been crying very hard for a very long time. He resolved to leave her alone and wait until she woke up, so as not to anger her further.

He sat in the Goshinbaku and fell into a slumber, dreaming of a certain girl.

TGIF, man.

(Saturday morning)

Kagome woke up to the sun in her eyes. When she checked her clock, it said 9:47.

"I slept for a long time..."

Crying your heart out for the boy you shut out of your life.

Kagome didn't argue; she knew it to be true. But it was too late. The well was shut, forever. She could never go back.

He could never come to her.

He could never yell at her.

He could never talk to her.

He could never comfort her.

He could never love her.

'Kami, I am such a BAKA!'

"Why am I cursed like this? Why does he have to confuse me like this?" she asked herself.

She did not expect a reply. "Who is he?"

She spun around to see Inuyasha, crouched in her windowsill.

She instantly put on a mask of anger, ignoring her heart's protests. "Get away from me."

Inuyasha frowned. "Can't do that."

"Oh? And why not?"

"Made a promise."

"To who?"

"Two people."
"Who?"

"Well, you, for one. Remember? 'I will protect you'? And the other...well, that was Kami."

"Oh? And what did you promise him?" Her voice was laced with venom, but her heart screamed at her, yelling 'APOLOGIZE, BAKA! APOLOGIZE!'

"Well, before I tell you that, I need to tell you some other stuff."

"Like?"

He climbed off the windowsill and walked to her. Then he picked her up bridal style and jumped into the Goshinbaku.

"Put me down!"

"Kagome, I need to tell you so many things. I need this to be private. Please, just listen."

He had her attention at 'please'. "Alright."

He took a deep breath. "Where do I start?" He pulled the locket out of his haori.

"You kept that piece of junk?"

"It was never a piece of junk. In fact, it was more valuable to me than any treasure in the world. Kagome, when you left, I was angry. Not at you. At me. Shippo came and asked me where you were. When I told him, he said that he hated me. That's when I realized the first part. It never hurt when anyone told me that. But I died a thousand gruesome deaths when you said it. I began to cry. I cried, Kagome. I hated myself. No matter what I had ever done, you always forgave me and came back. Always. The truth was forced on me."

"The truth?"

"I love you, Kagome. I love everything about you. Your smell, your voice, your smile, your laugh, your hair, your eyes...Hell, even your temper!"

Kagome gasped. Then she began to cry. Inuyasha, too far out of his mental fortress, couldn't help but cry at the pain he knew he was causing her right now. That's when he realized it.

She didn't love him.

She hated him like the half-breed scum he was.

"I love you too, Inuyasha. So much."

She...woah, woah, woah, rewind!

"Huh?"

She responded by pressing her lips against his in a fiery kiss. She pressed her body as close to him as she could, loving the feel of it.

Loving him as he kissed her back with equal passion.

Feel much better now! XD Now, If you look down and to the left, you'll see a little button with the word 'go' on it. See it? I thought so. Now, if you look closely, it isn't saying go. It's saying 'review and I can feed my wife and kids for the next month!' You wouldn't want his family to starve to death, would you?
