Chapter Six: The Question (Both Inuyasha and Kagome are standing up in front of the tree)

KAGOME'S P.O.V.

I couldn't believe it worked! Kouga ran so fast that the bark on the trees pilled off.

"That was great I knew it work, Kouga only liked me because he knew we weren't together!" I said as I was laughing

"Yea...," Inuyasha said sadly

"What's wrong? Kouga's gone" asked with excitement

"Yea well don't get me worng I'm happy it just... I was thinking... it was fun to 'pretend' to be a couple, but don't you think it be more fun to 'be' an actual couple?" he asked as he took my hand and looked me in the eyes.

I couldn't believe he just said that, I mean he just thought it in the air, and said it like it was no big deal.

"Yea..." I said nervously

"Kagome," he started "I think about you constantly, always and all the time. I think I go as far as saying that I l-love you

I didn't know what to say, I just looked at him. I wanted to say "I love you too", but that came out "Inuyasha..." so he continued

"It would be really great if you and I were a real couple, so what do you say?"

"What could I say?"

INUYASHA'S P.O.V.

"She was making me nervous I just spilled my feelings and there she was just standing there with a dumb look on her face" I thought "Please Kagome say something say you love me I know you do!" All I wanted to do is hold her in my arms and kiss and tell her over and over but I couldn't til she said something back to me.

KAGOME'S P.O.V.

I did the only thing I could think of...I kissed him, the best I could. Enough to let him know that I too was madly in love with him. I don't know how long it was but after I let go and stopped he just stood there stunned, then he asked

"So want to be real lovers?"

I just smiled and said "Yes, of course."

BOTH INUYASHA AND KAGOME'S P.O.V.

Then we just sat under the tree kissed and snuggled.
