Chapter 7: Falling
Koga's right. I am falling for Kagome.
Inuyasha's heart fluttered at think those words. Damn! What if he tells Kagome? I want to be the one to tell her. No, I have to be. Inuyasha thought determinedly to himself. Now when is the right time to tell her? I don't want to be to sudden. Maybe go out and see a movie? I know! We'll just go on a date in a park or something. Now, just when to ask her. It can't be when Koga's here. He'll just mess it up! Wait! I know the perfect way…
Later the next day, Kagome came home to a dark house after her visit with Sango and Miroku. She walked in and tried to flip the lights on(little did she know that Inuyasha had been running the washer, dryer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, oven, T.V., and stereo which totally blew the transformer). She walked into the kitchen to find a candle, but to her surprise there where candles lit all around the kitchen. On the table was a steak dinner complete with candles and champagne. Inuyasha was sitting across the table from her dress quite nicely with his hair pulled back in a ponytail.
"What is this Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, surprised that Inuyasha could look so nice.
"Have seat Kagome," he said nicely.
"It looks delicious! Did you make it yourself?" Kagome asked while trying the steak.
"Yeah. It took me 3 tries along with a fire extinguisher," He said, blushing.
"Well its great! I love it," Kagome said while taking a bite. And I love you, Kagome. Inuyasha thought to himself. He needed to find the right moment to tell her.
"So how was your visit?" Inuyasha asked, trying to make conversation.
"It was nice. I haven't seen Sango and Miroku for a long time. It was good to see them." Kagome said, somewhat sad about not having seen her friends for a long time.
Once they finished dinner, Inuyasha opened the champagne. They walked into the living room and sat down on the love seat. Inuyasha flipped on the T.V. to the movie The Notebook. He slowly scooted closer and closer until he was right next to her. He reached over took her hand, intertwining their fingers. They both blushed a brilliant red.
By the time the movie was over, Kagome was asleep on Inuyasha's shoulder. He carefully picked her up and carried her to her room. He laid her down on her bed. Well, I guess this is as good a time as ever to tell her. She'll hear me but won't even know. Inuyasha leaned down by Kagome.
"Kagome, I just need to tell you that, I….uh…. I love you," Inuyasha whispered in her ear. He leaned in to kiss her when she grabbed him and met him half way.
"I love you too, Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. Inuyasha pulled back and looked at Kagome, shocked that she was awake. She moved in for a second kiss and Inuyasha met her. This time the kiss was longer. Much longer. Kagome eventually pulled away. Not that she wanted to. She needed to breathe, and she had a job interview the next morning.
"We better go to bed Inuyasha. I have a job interview tomorrow and I still have to make breakfast for you and Koga," Kagome said sadly.
"Yeah," Inuyasha said as he began walking toward the door. Kagome jumped up and gave him one last kiss for the night. Then she went back to bed. She had a wonderful dream about her and Inuyasha.
In her dream, she was married to Inuyasha, and they had a baby girl on the way. Just as she was having the baby in her dream, her alarm clock rang.
"ARRGGG! And that was the perfect dream too," Kagome said angrily. She went to the kitchen and started making pancakes. Inuyasha walked in and sat down at the table.
"That was some night last night, eh Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, still happy from the past night.
"You bet," Kagome said, turning a bright shade of red. At that moment Koga walked in.
"So, Kagome. Got any plans for tonight?" Koga asked while tipping back in his chair.
"First of all, I am busy tonight, and second, don't be tippin in my chair!" Kagome yelled while pushing down on the back of the chair, causing Koga to fall to the ground. Inuyasha nearly fell out his chair laughing.
"Hey! Stop laughing, mutt!" Koga yelled at Inuyasha.
"Well, I'm going to go get dressed for my interview. Help yourselves to the pancakes," Kagome said while putting a heaping plate of pancakes on the table. " Oh, and forget to clean up when you're done."
Once Kagome was in her room getting dressed, Koga started talking with Inuyasha.
"So what happened between you two last night?" Koga asked.
"What do ya mean? Nothing happened," Inuyasha said, trying not to let Koga know that something did happen.
"I can tell, you know. I can almost feel that something did. And also when you and Kagome look at each other, I can totally just see it in your eyes. She's in love with you, isn't she?" Koga asked, knowing everything.
"Is it that obvious?" Inuyasha asked while looking down at his plate and blushing.
"Yeah…." Koga said. There was an awkward silence in the room until Kagome walked in.
"Well, I guess I'll be on my way," Koga said, breaking the silence. Once he was gone, Kagome said her goodbyes and left for the interview. Inuyasha stood at the door, watching her walk away. He went back and sat on the sofa, flipping the T.V. to the news.
Later that day, on her way back from the interview, Kagome stopped and picked up the mail. She saw a letter addressed to her with no return address. She went inside and opened the letter. A terrified look came over her face.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, taking the letter from her hands. It had only seven words. It read I'm back and I'm coming for you.
Author's Note: DUN DUN DUN! The plot thickens! Was that good? It was another middle of the night one. Hope you liked it!
