Kagome walked up to Inuyasha and said "Inuyasha are you alright?" He looked at Kagome and said "I'll be fine when I get a bath... are you alright?" She looked away and said "y-yeah I'm fine why?" He just stared at her and knew what was going on and said "come one Kagome we should head back." She nodded and they walked back. On the walk Inuyasha sensed something strange.
His ears twiched and he thought "what happened to all the lost souls that were here are they finding peace or is it something else?"When they got back Inuyasha jumped in the river and started to wash off all the blood. Kagome just stared at the water and watched as all the blood washed away by the river. "Are you alright?" Said Inuyasha in a concerned voice.
She looked up at Inuyasha and said "I'm fine really why do you ask?" He sat next to her and said "look Kagome I know you fear blood please tell me why you fear it?" She was shocked at how he knew her biggest fear and said "alright like I told you before my family were killed by Sesshumaru's men I lost my mom, my dad, my brother and my grandfather when they were slaughtered. I was covered in their blood I was so scared.
Then a boy around my aged showed up and went in front of me and told him to leave me alone. I couldn't believe that the young prince of the western lands would protect me a human. Then they all left but the prince had a strange look on his face when he stared at me I didn't know what to say but he told me that they wouldn't be coming back and that he would make sure of that then he left and I never saw him again." Inuyasha was shocked about that he didn't know that her being covered in blood would make her fear it for life but he also never did find out why his brother would kill her family. He asked "why did they kill your family?"
She responds with a sad tone "it's because my family were of priest's and priestess's of course my mom always told me that I have more power than another priestess in the world." He looked at her like she was crazy and said "well that does make sense Kagome I know it must have been hard for you to talk about such a painful past." She started to cry a bit and said "I just wish that I could talk to them again." "I can help you with that Kagome." Said Inuyasha in a calm tone. She looked at his face and asked "really? How?"
He sighed and said "I have this power that I've never told anyone only my mother knew about it." Kagome got closer to Inuyasha's face and said "what is it Inuyasha? Whats your power? How can it help me?" He looked at her stright in the eye's and said "I can talk to the souls around us almost as if they were alive and I can also make anyone else hear them too if I chose too."
She thought he was crazy then she noticed that when he told her that, that he didn't look away he just looked at her straight in the eye's and he told her. His biggest secret and he told her then she thought that maybe he trusted her enough to tell her that secret. She smiled and said "thank you Inuyasha. But why did you tell me?" "I just can't stand to see a girl cry Kagome and when you started to cry I had to find away to make you happy. I thought you would think that I was crazy but also I didn't want to see you cry I well I.. kind of... like it... when you... smile."
She could see the red on his cheeks and started to giggle and she laid her head on his shoulder and said "thank you Inuyasha..." He didn't know what he was feeling at the moment but what he did know is that he liked to be around her and thought "Kagome I love to see you smile, when you frown I'll frown when you smile I'll try to smile even if you know I don't feel happy but I love to be around you... I'll never ever leave you Kagome I promise you that."
