Hello everyone! I'm sorry for such a long wait, but I lost my story when I cleaned my room. I know where everything is when it's dirty, but as soon as I clean it, it's like a whole new room. I had to wait until I messed it up again to find it. Anyway, I'm sorry. Gomen Nasai. Please forgive me. bows

Chapter 7: Kiss?

"Mom, are you back that quick? What did you forget?" Kagome asked coming down the stairs where she saw the door open. Inuyasha walked through the door and she gasped.

Inuyasha closed the door. When he looked up, he saw a goddess descended from Heaven…no…wait, it was only Kagome. (A/N: I'm sorry, I had to.) But still, she looked like she came out of a very hentai dream. (A/N: Hah! I kill me! Okay no more author intrusions. walks away silently) She was wearing shorts that cut off at the middle of her thigh and a white tank top with a towel over her head, which told him she just came out of the shower. His eyes went wide. 'Stop it…bad thoughts Inu' he scolded himself. 'There's no time for 'that'' A little voice inside his head answered 'Of course there isn't we'd still be in the middle of it.' 'Arggh, Shut up!'

'Hey, I'm only saying what you're thinking.'

'Go away!'

'No'

Inuyasha was about to really curse that little voice out when Kagome's spiteful voice broke into his reverie.

"What are you doing here?" She was rubbing her hair with the towel, trying to get her hair dry enough to take the towel off of her head.

"I came to apologize." He answered.

"I really don't need this right now." Kagome thought aloud.

"Wait!" Inuyasha stopped her. Kagome turned around. "I brought you these." Inuyasha held out a beautiful arrangement of pink and red roses. Kagome stared at him.

"Throw them in the trash on your way out." Inuyasha wasn't fazed. He pulled out his ultimate weapon. Kagome loved chocolate. "What about this?" he asked holding out a heart-shaped box of chocolate. Kagome's features brightened. 'Yes!' Inuyasha did a mental happy dance. "Chocolate from you makes me sick." She ended with a smile, and continued up the stairs.

Inuyasha growled. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out." She called from the top of the stairs. "Kagome, wait!" Inuyasha said, anger in his voice. He ran up the stairs and got to Kagome's room in enough time to have the door slammed in his face. 'Ouch.' He thought rubbing his abused nose. Taking a gamble, he tried the door knob. 'It's open. That's weird. I thought she would lock me out for sure.' he thought as he pushed on the door.

Kagome was lying on her bed, headphones on her head, when Inuyasha walked in. 'Damn, I forgot to lock the door.' She thought. "Go away Inuyasha." She said angrily. "No not until you hear me out." He quietly shut the door.

Kagome really not wanting to deal with this right now, buried her head in her pillow, and began to scream. Inuyasha's ears immediately flattened on his head. "Woman, will you stop screaming!" he yelled over her. Kagome continued to scream while Inuyasha managed to walk over the source of the noise and clamp is hand over her mouth after pulling it from the pillow.

When Kagome was pulled up, a hand over her mouth, she immediately bit down.

Inuyasha snatched his hand away. "Owww, you bit me!" he looked at her horrified. "I had a right to." She defended herself. "What right was that?" he yelled. "The right to do whatever the hell I want to the person that upsets me." "Where did you come up with a law like that?"

"I found it!"

"Where!"

"I don't know!"

"Well how can you use it?!"

"Like I just did!"

"That makes no sense!"

"I know!"

There was a pregnant pause before Inuyasha busted out laughing. Kagome soon followed. She leaned on Inuyasha, trying to control her breathing.

When she calmed down, she noticed the situation she was in and pulled away from him. "Sorry." She mumbled, turning her head to hide the blush that was slowly creeping up on her face.

She tried to get up and go check on Souta who was in his room, when Inuyasha pulled her back into his embrace. "Inuyasha, what…" "Shh." He interrupted. "Listen to me now, because I will probably never say it again. I'm Sorry. I was wrong to yell at you and I have no right saying who you can and can't talk to." No response. He sighed. "Do you at least forgive me?"

"Yes, but may I ask a question?"

"Shoot."

"Why are we like this?" she asked gesturing towards themselves.

"I just want to hold you."

Kagome was silent. "Um, may I ask why?"

"Because I love you," Inuyasha voiced his thoughts accidentally.

Kagome's eyes grew wide. 'Did…did he just say he love me?' Kagome didn't know what to do, did he really meant that, or did he just kind of let it slip out by mistake. Should she ask if he meant it, or should she just pretend it never happened?

Inuyasha noticed the mistake he had made. He knew Kagome wouldn't return his feelings. He didn't mean to say it; it just kind of slipped out. He moved to get up, ready to leave. "I'm sorry Kagome."

Before he could go any further, Kagome's hand latched onto his shirt. Inuyasha stiffened. He didn't turn around, wanting her to speak first.

"Inuyasha," she started, "Did you honestly mean that? I can't really say anything until I know exactly how you feel." Kagome's head hung low. Her bangs shadowing her eyes.

Inuyasha turned around. He looked at the young girl on the bed. He moved closer to her, kneeling down in front of her. Inuyasha took her face between his hands. "Kagome, look at me." He said tilting her head up to see her eyes.

"Kagome, I love you. I've never met anyone like you. All the girls I ever went out with, I only broke up with them because they could never be or match up to you. I never wanted to cross the line between friendship. I didn't want to just in case we couldn't go back." Inuyasha looked away from her. "I've always loved you. So I will take the chance and ask you. Just tell me, if it doesn't last, promise me our friendship will never end. That we'll always be there for each other."

Kagome nodded, her emotions preventing her from speaking.

"Kagome, will you go out with me?"

Kagome answered his question with a kiss.

Sorry it's so short. Read and review please.
