Chapter 3; Emotional Confrontations

InuYasha continued ranting and stomping around the forest, at least he stopped destroying it!. His temper had calmed some if only for a moment. He couldn't stop thinking about her; that girl who has a hold of his heart. Although he had already realized, morning had come much too soon to his liking. He decided to head back to the village. The morning air was crisp and heavy. As he continued to walk he noiced it was slightly foggy but what cought his attention was the scent of tears and worry in the air. His stomach dropped as he realized who's it was. As he got closer to the village Lady Kaede had once again sensed his presence and decided to warn him at the entrance of their humble village.

" Is she ok Kaede-sama?"asked Inu not looking at the elder to the face, surely ashamed of his previos actions.

"InuYasha, Kagome arrived not to long ago and the first thing she notices is your forest half way destroyed, she is concerned and worried. Ye need to fix the damage caused or ye might lose her" she replied rather sternly.

InuYasha just nodded knowing she was right, hardly ever did he show such respect to the village priestess. He didn't want to lose her and he'd do anything to make things right and for them to just be happy in this world full of chaos.

" You know, she might have a fiery temper that rivals your own, and ye might not always agree, but I have never seen anyone as devoted as she is to you… She is pure at heart and soul… No one in this cursed world is perfect , but next to her….. Kikyo doesn't even measure"…..

Surprised by what Kaede had just said, he kept walking towards the village hoping to make things right and hoping his ego lets him apologize.

With Kagome

Kagome was still worried, she had arrived early morning only to find that half the forest was torn started looking for the man that she loves but couldn't find him anywhere. Now she sat in Kaedes small hut with a very upset Sango trying to comfort her. Both her and Sango sensed a demonic presence at the entrance of the hut but soon kinda relaxed once they saw a certain silver haired hanyou walk in. Sango glared and Inu and he slightly flinched away from her and closer to Kagome.

" Ill let the two of you talk but call me if you need me Kagome, believe me I wont hesitate in putting him in his place" she was glaring daggers at InuYasha. "Besides I have to go make Shippo some breakfast…" she said to her dear friend. Mostly as an excuse as it was slowly reaching mid day. Sango got up from where she was sitting/ holding Kagome and went to look for the young kitsune.

Kagome took a deep breath to calm her nerves, this was the first she had seen InuYasha since he stormed out of her room and into this era. In a shaky voice she let her mind and words wonder…

"Inu, koi, i- im so glad that you're ok… Im sorry about last night, I had to come back, I cant bear the thought of losing you or anything happening to you , to us…."

InuYasha cut her off, he couldn't let her even think of feeling guilty about everything that's happened in the last 24 hours.

"Kagome stop, i- I overreacted and I didn't mean to worry you, after me leaving the way I did and treating the way I did last night, I was sure you were going to stay in your time… Did you just call me"Koi"?"

At this Kagome couldn't help but giggle, he looked so helpless and cute.

"Whats so funny Kags? Im here really trying to ahhhhhhhhhh! Damn wench this isnt easy you know!"

"InuYasha I know you are and yes I called you koi, you are my love and I don't care how mad we might be at each other, i- I love you and you should know that I will always come back and find my way to you." Kagome admited shyly, she had to make sure he knew and that he understood.

Inuyasha was surprised to say the least although he has been feeling that way a lot lately…. He knew she loved him but the way she said it to him; her blueish brown orbs shimmering with such passion and devotion, her voice although a bit shaky and shy was full of sencerity. This girl, no this woman was here devoting herself to him, a half breed that no one would even look to for anything but to torture him. Kaede-sama was right.

"Koibito, please, please forgive me, I need you more than the air I breath and just thinking that you might not trust me sent me over the edge…." He slowly moved his way closer to her, he was now sitting next to her, the atmosphere slowly getting lighter between them.

Unknown to the pair in the hut, there were a couple of eyes keeping a close watch on them, mostly because a certain demon slayer was preocupied about her best friend.

"Houshi-sama do you think the fighting between them will cease?" she carefully whispered to a rather lechourous monk.

"Oh no my dear, it only gets more interesting from here on out. They finally know how each other feel. The real challenge is just beginning, this might just be tougher for them than battleling Naraku."

Miroku's cursed hand was slowly making its way towards Sango rounded bottom…

PUNCH? SLAP!

An infuriated and blushing Sango walked away from their hiding spot leaving a nice red hand print on Mirokus cheek along with a mid sized bump on his head.

"Yeah its totally worth it everytime" he thought amusedly to himself.

Back with Inu and Kags

"Inu I called you koi, but there is something else I want to call you… it might be early but i- I really want to be your, well, umm…." She started stuttering her words and couldn't get them out.

"Spit it out Kagome, you want to be my what?!"

"Stop yelling at me Baka I want to be your mate!" she had screamed that rather loudly and wouldn't be surprised if people barged in to their moment.

At that something very familiar happened…
