Chapter 7: I'm Sorry
"Alright, you going to make Kagome Currie and chicken fried rice okay?" Asked Sota.
"Okay, how do you make it?" Questioned Inuyasha.
"Well you just follow these, there called recipes. Just follow them and add the ingredients each calls for, if you need any help just ask my mom okay?" Replied Sota smiling.
"It seems easy enough, what's the catch?" Inuyasha responded looking at the boy.
"There isn't one." Sota answered hopping off the counter and heading out of the kitchen.
"Alright, then I'll give it a try." Inuyasha said before beginning to read the list of ingredients.
"Okay let's start with the chicken fried rice, chicken huh, I hate those damn things. No I can't get sidetracked I have to do this for Kagome. If I don't then she will be mad at me forever and then how will I tell her I love her? She'll just laugh at me and when we go back to the futile era, then when that stupid Kouga comes around Kagome will tell him what happened. He'll tell her he'd treat her better and then she might leave with him. She'll have no reason to keep me around; she wont need me to protect her or love her because she'll have that mangy wolf to help her and save her and prote-tec-tect her…"
By now Inuyasha was crying and Kagome could hear him, as soon as she realized he was crying she snuck down the stairs and walked into the kitchen but stopped at the doorway.
"Inuyasha, please don't cry. I'm sorry for earlier, please don't cry." She whispered as she felt her heart breaking. She'd never seen him cry before, and to know she was the one who caused him to break from being so strong…
"I'm not just upset about that, I'm also upset about something else." He said trying to calm himself.
"Well what else are you upset about then?" Kagome asked in a calm and caring voice.
"Well more or less…" His words trailed off as he moved further away from her in shame.
"Inuyasha whatever it is you can tell me." Kagome cooed softly.
"Well I'm more or less scared…" Inuyasha answered.
"What could you honestly be scared of, if I may ask?" Kagome questioned moving a little closer to him.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something but stopped. Kagome walked over and embarrassed him in her arms in a warm and comforting hug.
"Its okay Inuyasha, I'm here." She replied.
He took a deep breath and started again, "I was scared that our fight earlier was going to break us up and then when we went back to the futile era, and ran into Kouga you would tell him about our fight. Then he would say he'd treat you better and then you would go with him. Then I wouldn't be able to protect you or talk to you or see you or hug and kiss you or lo-lo-love… yo-yo-you because… I LOVE YOU KAGOME, I LOVE YOU! I can't change that. No one or thing could change that not even Kikyo." When Inuyasha had finished he had started to hyperventilate again, harder than before.
"Oh Inuyasha I love you to no one or thing can change that. I would never leave you for Kouga or anyone else because you're the only one for me. I love you Inuyasha." Grabbing his arm she pulled him around to face her.
Seeing tears running down her face aw well, Inuyasha grabbed her in his arms and kissed her in a passionate loving kiss.
