Hi we're finally nearing the end of this story (awww...) as this is proberly the most important chapter in the story... Now I don't really want to spoil this story by making this chapter a lemon (like one of my friends' asked) so for now I'm just going to keep it all innocent but don't worry you Inuyasha fans! There is a bit of intimacy... hmmm... did I spell that right? Oh well...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was enough for Inuyasha and he was very soon eager to get as far from Kagome as he could, turning around he walked to the window and placed one leg outside and was about to bring the other one out when his ears pricked up to movement behind him.
Quickly turning around he felt his heart beat twice as fast for a moment when he saw Kagome turned around at her desk staring directly at him with a shocked expression on her face.
"I... nu... yasha?" she whispered.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered so quiet she could only just hear.
For a moment Kagome was happy to see him but she then felt her emotions change into many different and confused feelings and placing the torn photo on her desk behind her, Kagome stood up so she was facing Inuyasha.
"Kagome i..." Inuyasha began but he cut off and continued to stare.
"Go..." Kagome said.
"Huh?" Inuyasha asked looking at her confused.
"GO!" she cried clenching her fists and trying to hold back tears. "Just go..." she added in a whisper.
Inuyasha looked at her through golden eyes which burned her soul to look in, she felt as if at any moment her legs would weaken and she'd collapse on the floor.
Inuyasha made no move to go and continued to look at Kagome, when he took one step forward she couldn't take it any longer.
"I SAID GO!" Kagome shouted so loud she felt all her breathe escape from her very lungs. Tears streaked down either side of her face and in her chest she felt a continuing sharp pain.
"Kagome please let me explain!" Inuyasha exclaimed back, he needed to let her know what he had to say. He wished she wasn't crying as it made him even more eager to look away... but he couldn't...
Kagome shook her head, "No! I know what you're going to say! Just please go back to your own time and we needn't see each other any more!" Kagome replied almost desperately as if to get him out of her sight.
"Not until you hear me." he replied.
Kagome stared at him and when her eyes met his she couldn't find herself to say anything more. It was as if his golden eyes had locked with hers making her unable to do or say anything.
When Inuyasha was satisfied she wasn't protesting he continued, "I know you're upset I saved Kikyo instead of you but I—"
"I'm not upset because of that!" Kagome interrupted now finding her voice once more, "I'm upset because of the fact that you actually came to say sorry to me!"
"What?" Inuyasha asked in confusion and disbelief, his eyes still staring at her. Kagome wished he wouldn't look at her so; it was just making it even harder for her to talk. She could fell her heart burning inside of her and kept wishing Inuyasha would just leave her alone and go away. Why did he have to come here?
Kagome looked to the ground for a second and gained her breathe back and then looked back at Inuyasha, "You saved Kikyo of your own accord proving you loved her so why should you say sorry to me? You have no reason to! You saved her because she's the one you love, not me! So why do you have to make it harder by coming to apologise!? If you don't love me you should be okay with me leaving!" Kagome cried.
"Because I..." Inuyasha paused and looked at the floor as if thinking.
Kagome gasped in realising why making him look up, "If it's just because I can sense the shards then you have Kikyo now don't you! She can help you with your killing of Naraku!"
Inuyasha's eyes flashed to her and he was about to open his mouth to protest when Kagome couldn't take him staring at her any longer and not quite knowing what she was doing yelled, "SIT!"
Inuyasha was forced to the floor by the necklace making the floor shake slightly.
"JUST GO INUYASHA!" Kagome added.
Inuyasha looked up and slowly got himself up to Kagome's surprise, "Don't be stupid!... I know that!..." he cried back standing back up in slight agony due to Kagome's most forceful sit he had proberly ever endured.
Kagome continued to watch through shocked eyes.
"But Kikyo isn't even with me..." he added, "As soon as I saved her she went off... it's true I once loved her and I proberly still have feelings for her but..." he paused for a second then continued, "...i have feelings for you too, different ones... stronger ones. It's clear Kikyo and I... we just can't..." Inuyasha paused once more and sighed then stared deeply into Kagome's eyes with his before saying the next part, "I LOVE YOU!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who thinks I should make it a short paragraph and stop it their? No one? Lol just kidding I wouldn't be that cruel... You should all be glad you've got someone as nice as me... Continue with the story!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome's eyes widened to his response and she took a step back in shock,
Inuyasha could sense her feelings all muddled and wondered if he had said too much... but no... There was no going back now... he had finally said it... there was no time for regret... after all this time of him admiring Kagome he had finally confessed. The only thing left for now was... did she feel the same way?
Inuyaha felt his face turning red and his entire body shaking as Kagome stared at him, shock covered her entire face and she put one arm behind her on the desk for support.
"Love... me?" she replied.
Inuyasha couldn't find himself to say anything more from his nervousness and merely nodded.
Kagome stared at the floor for what seemed like ages till finally she whispered something however because it was so quiet even Inuyasha with his keen hearing couldn't catch her words.
"I... what..." Inuyasha said.
"I LOVE YOU TOO!" she cried staring at him, however when she noticed how loud her voice was she stepped back in surprise and covered her mouth with her hands, her cheeks were nearly as red as the kimono Inuyasha was wearing and she avoided his eyes and looked away.
Inuyasha wondered what he should do? Go to her? Or stay where he was currently standing? Inuyasha could only watch her... her silky hair... her beautiful smell...
"Why did you save her then?" Kagome suddenly asked.
Inuyasha came out of his thoughts and stared at her, "What?"
"If you love me like you say then why did you save Kikyo?" she repeated.
"I... well..." Inuyasha began, "I didn't know who I was rescuing at the time, and I just jumped and closed my eyes going in the first direction I could think of..."
Kagome looked back down, "I see... I guess I should fell relieved but..." Inuyasha noticed she was beginning to cry again, "I just feel worse... ever since I fell I've been feeling confused and angry and most likely jealous aswell."
Inuyasha listened carefully to her words and felt his heart ache with ever tear that fell down her cheek and onto the floor.
"I didn't know what to feel..." Kagome continued wiping her tears from her eyes with one hand.
"I'm sorry Kagome..." Inuyasha spoke, "I'm sorry I made you feel that way... right now just seeing you cry makes my heart pain and I... I can never forgive myself for what I made you feel."
Kagome stayed silent for a moment or so then replied, "I know you can't but..." she paused once more and took a deep breathe before continuing once more in a more gently and quiet tone, "I love you Inuyasha... but... I don't know if you feel the same way..."
Inuyasha stared at her.
Kagome shocked Inuyasha by smiling, How could she smile after everything she's just been saying? he thought.
"So do you?"
Inuyasha felt his heart thumping inside his chest, "I said before didn't I?" he replied smiling back so as to reassure her.
Kagome nodded but Inuyasha's eyes widened as she began to fall forward, instantly leaping forward he caught her and embraced her in his arms as he knelt on the floor.
"I love you Kagome... can't you see that?" he asked holding her head with one of his hands close to his chest and brining the other one around her waist.
Inuyasha felt Kagome's tears dropping onto his kimono and soaking through to his skin but it didn't matter... nothing mattered right now... Kagome was in his arms and nothing could ruin that... nothing!
Kagome felt the warmth of Inuyasha flow into her and she felt her cheeks flush red. All the anger she had been feeling only moments ago had vanished in a second and right now she couldn't even remember why she had been angry at him before.
"I'm sorry..." Kagome whispered faintly, "I guess it's from walking around all day..."
Inuyasha let go of her to her slight disappointment, although she didn't show it, and he looked into her face, he put both his hands on either side of her cheeks making her blush even more.
"I told you not to exert yourself." he smiled.
Kagome smiled slightly and to her sudden shock Inuyasha brought his head forward till he kissed her on her lips. Kagome's eyes widened as her lips met his but after only a moment she felt herself losing all control and as she closed her eyes she kissed him back aswell.
After all this time being with him she had longed for him to love her in return and now he was doing just that, he had confessed his love to her and was now kissing her. Kagome couldn't wish for anything more than this.
Inuyasha felt his heart glow when she didn't protest but infact responded back instead. One of his hands buried deep into her smooth hair enjoying the touch of it and the other wrapped around her waist and brought her closer to him, at the same time he felt her hands wrapped tightly around his neck and as he opened his eyes once more he admired her beauty.
Both her and Inuyasha pulled away for breathe and Kagome smiled at him with Inuyasha responding in the same way, looking into his eyes she saw him filled with kindness and was glad he was holding her right now. She had never before felt this happy to be with him... Inuyasha again embraced her tightly with her head once more on his chest as the two held onto one another; he laid his chin on top of her head so they were close together.
Kagome lay on her bed with her head on her pillow, although she didn't have her duvet over her she wasn't cold as Inuyasha was lying next to her. Kagome smiled gently at him with his face so close to hers, she could literally feel his breathe on hers and knew she would always be happy when by his side from now on.
Inuyasha had one arm over her body so as he was holding Kagome close to him and the two of them both had one arm spread out between the two of them holding the other's hand.
Inuyasha once more leant forward and kissed the lips of the girl he loved so much. He felt her free hand grip his shoulder and even though neither was saying anything they could both easily read the others thoughts by just simply looking into their eyes.
Kagome held tightly onto him not wishing to let go and wished this moment would last forever. And as the two laid closely together embracing one another on her bed she felt sleep come over her whilst she was in his arms. Feeling tired, her eyes gently shut; seeing Inuyasha's sleeping face as she did so...
Inuyasha's eyes flew open when he felt Kagome no longer in his arms; he jumped onto his feet and looked around her room. From outside he could see the sun's first rays peaking over the horizon and he wondered what time it must be.
As he walked to the door to try and find Kagome something caught his attention on the desk, he picked it up and felt his heart light up as he looked at it. In his hands was the photo he had seen last night in Kagome's grasp which had been torn up. However now it was once more whole again with a thin piece of clear paper wrapped around it which he remembered Kagome calling celetape. (Sorry if it's spelt wrong... not a word I use to often...)
Walking out of Kagome's room his ears pricked up as he sensed movement some way away, as he walked down the stairs he was slightly confused to see Kagome outside in the back garden heading for the shrine.
Running outside he called her name, "Kagome!?"
Kagome turned around just as she reached the doors of the shrine, "Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Where are you going?" Inuyasha said as he walked up to her.
"Huh? Oh I didn't want to disturb you so I decided to leave you..." she explained, "I was just going to tell the others I'm okay is all..."
Although he wasn't totally convinced he nodded, "I'll come with you." he said smiling.
Kagome blushed slightly and nodded as since the previous night before she felt a little awkward around Inuyasha.
The two walked through the shrine and down the steps to the well, with one look at each other they both jumped in with Inuyasha holding his arm around Kagome making her blush once again.
When both Kagome and Inuyasha had gotten out of the bone-eaters well they made their way out of the forest holding one another's hands.
Kagome leant her head on Inuyasha's shoulder making him flinch slightly but he then relaxed and put his hand around her shoulder.
When the two reached the out-skirts of Kaede's village Inuyasha stopped walking making Kagome also halt and stare.
"Inuyasha?" she asked.
Inuyasha looked down at her so he could see her face, "About the others... do you think we should tell them... you know about us?"
Kagome blinked, "Well I'm not bothered... are you?" a bad thought suddenly crept on Kagome and she gasped, "Are you ashamed of me!?"
"Don't be silly!" Inuyasha replied back.
Kagome felt herself relax slightly and she looked away to Lady Kaede's village.
Inuyasha watched her and wondered if from now he shouldn't be as hasty, feeling himself blush at the thought he was having he whispered.
"K...Kagome?"
"Mmm...?" Kagome replied looking up.
As soon as she faced him Inuyasha kissed her on the lips for a brief moment then brought his face away from a startled Kagome. Her cheeks were crimson red as were Inuyasha's however he wasn't as embarrassed.
"I hope we're not interrupting..." spoke a voice.
Both Kagome and Inuyasha leapt out of their skin at the familiar voice and looked to see Miroku, Sango and Shippo all staring at them with a slight grin on their faces.
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other for a brief moment then looked back to the others thinking of what to say.
"I... well we were..." Kagome stuttered.
"Yeah it's not... well erm..." Inuyasha also stammered.
"No need to explain." Sango smiled, "We have a good idea of what's happened."
Kagome and Inuyasha blushed even more.
Inuyasha sat next to Miroku whilst Sango and Kagome were talking further off with Shippo and Kiara nearby.
"So tell me Inuyasha..." Miroku began with a slight cheeky grin on his face.
"W...what's with that look?" Inuyasha asked slightly nervous.
"Well it's obvious you and Kagome are now a couple so do you have any hints?" he asked moving his eyebrows up and down.
"Eh?"
"You know advice? As I'm trying the same with Sango but for some reason she just doesn't show the same emotion for me..." he said sighing.
"Well maybe if you didn't feel her up every so often!..." Inuyasha cried back.
Miroku gave a small nod and then looked back at Inuyasha, "So... what happened between you two last night as you didn't come back."
Inuyasha blushed, "What do you mean?"
Noticing the redness in his cheeks Miroku's eyes widened, "You didn't... you mean...? You dog!"
Realising what he meant Inuyasha stood up in protest, "Of course I didn't! I wouldn't do that with Kagome! As if I'd do anything like that with Kagome after all she's—" Inuyasha's voice trailed off as he noticed Kagome and Sango staring at him from far off.
"Inuyasha..." she growled with an angry look on her face and flames all around her. (Metaphor... like what they do in the anime sometimes with a fiery look around them? Never mind...)
"Uh oh..." Inuyasha whispered.
"Sit!"
Inuyasha was forced to the ground as the command was said and Miroku quietly tip-toed back, however he gasped in alarm as Sango came behind him and stood besides him.
"What were you two talking about?" she asked with a stern look on her face.
"Why Sango, do you really think someone like me would talk about such things?" Miroku asked looking innocent. (Imagine a pale yellow background around him and stars all around, maybe a halo on his head... hehe...)
"Er..." Sango began however she suddenly stopped when she felt a hand groping her behind.
Clenching her fist she shouted, "YOU LECURE!"
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SITTTT!..." Kagome continued to shout at Inuyasha who was now several feet into the ground as if making his own grave to fit him perfectly.
"COME BACK HERE YOU LECURE!" Sango cried running after the perverted monk with her fists clenched.
"Sheesh... hope I don't grow up anytime soon." Inuyasha remarked sitting next to Kiara whilst he watched the entire spectacle.
Naraku stay sitting on the floor with Akoisa knelt in front of him.
"Master from what I've gathered that girl somehow managed to live and so both women we kidnapped managed to live and the wench is now again with that Inuyasha person and the others in their gang."
Naraku felt anger boiling up inside him but he quickly dismissed it not wishing to lose his cool, "I should have known that abyss was something not to be toyed with..."
Akoisa felt goosebumps over her body as she kept hoping Naraku wouldn't harm her.
"Very well." he spoke, "It does not matter... I will still get the shard one way or another... especially with my new reincarnation."
Shock swept Akoisa's face, "New reincarnation?"
"Yes... you have disappointed me Akoisa."
Shock was replaced with fear as Naraku spoke these words.
"You can relax though I won't dispose of you just yet... you may still be of some use." he added.
Akoisa let out a sigh of relief then asked, "But this new reincarnation master, who are they?"
"Why not see for yourself?" Naraku asked gesturing to the door with a sly smile on his face.
Akoisa stood up and suddenly felt a rumble underneath her feet, for a moment she thought she had imagined it when it came again. A deep aura suddenly crept all around her and it was so powerful Akoisa was sure she would lose consciousness because of it. Looking to the door she heard the clinking of chains and it must have been a lot of them because of how loud the sound was. A silhouette appeared from behind the door which shocked Akoisa because of the size of it. She then let out a faint gasp as a glow of red appeared around where its eyes would be and within an instant the silhouette transformed into something much bigger.
"It can't be..." Akoisa whispered in fright as she looked at the silhouette of the demon just mere metres away from her.
"It is so." Naraku replied smiling.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you may think that because Kagome and Inuyasha have already confessed their love there'll be a lot of kissing right? WRONG! If I made it like that then the story just wouldn't... seem right if you know what I mean? There will be love between them but not as many love scenes as many as you may think... Anyway I'm not sure when the sequel to this story will come out so I guess you'll have to wait. Hope you enjoyed this story, please review and give me your comments!
Also I may be taking some people's idea's for what to include in my story so if you have anything you'd like to see in the sequel tell me and I'll get onto including it. Note: You can't choose what Narakus' new reincarnation looks like, I've already decided... I've even written a profile on it and drawn pictures So send me in your idea's and let's make the next story even better! XD I'm not sure when i'll upload it but it may take a while because i'll need to write a plot and see if anyone posts any idea's...
Anyway this is the end, i think i've send everything i need to say... See you next time on Inuyasha Fanfiction ;)
