That night, all the two youths did, was sleep, holding each other. Kagome had been worried when Inuyasha's tears had fallen. Like maybe something she'd said had upset him.

When she asked, he just sighed and once again kissed her. This time though, the kiss was different, almost like the hanyou was revealing something to her, and emotion that he may not have known he was feeling.

She kissed him back, slipping her tongue into his mouth, to deepen the romantic embrace of their lips. His one had gently gripped her raven tresses, which felt like pure silk through his rough fingers. His other hand was on her back, holding her tightly to him. As if, if he didn't hold her, she'd vanish, like in most of his dreams lately.

His dreams. They were of what his life would consist of when the jewel was complete and Naraku gone. Sango and Miroku, gone. Off to live their own lives somewhere. Shippo, gone. Maybe he'd go with Sango and Miroku? Inuyasha didn't know. Worst of all, Kagome...gone.

Gone back to her era. The era she was from. In his dream she was there a moment, and then she'd suddenly vanish. He'd be left alone. So what else could he do, but go with Kikyo. At least he wouldn't be alone, right? But with those words Kagome had said, saying that she would stay in the feudal era with him...he wondered what his dreams would be like.

He was brought back to reality, when Kagome started massaging his sensitive ears. Gently, making sure not to hurt him.

That small gesture, made him deepen the kiss more and more, and made him tighten his hold on her.

"Please don't cry Inuyasha, your beautiful eyes should never be filled with tears..." she whispered into his ear, which twitched, and made her giggle.

"Hm...So adorable..."

That caught him off guard. Adorable? His ears? Really? Sure Kagome had mentioned how his ears were cute and as had her mother, and that little kid he'd saved in the fire...huh he thought. Normally people were disgusted by his ears, since they told what he was.

Never had he heard someone say that his ears were adorable. Not even Kikyo said anything, or even touched his ears for that matter. Really, except for that time she'd needed to catch her balance...Inuyasha could not remember Kikyo ever really touching him, or wanting to touch him. She'd kissed him that one night, but was...was that just a ruse to get him to fall into hell with her?

That night, if Kagome's voice hadn't reached him...Kikyo would have pulled him straight into the depths of hell.

Kagome. Kagome was his saviour, his saving grace, his angel. Hell she was his. Period. She'd practically told him, that even if he did go with Kikyo, she'd still be by his side. But what if he did go to hell with Kikyo? Would Kagome deliberately follow him...into hell! Was that what she was getting at when she said that?

"Hm...Then again, her plan is to make you follow her to hell...so I guess I wouldn't be able to go there..."

Was she about to say something else? Did she ask the questions to change that topic? To not let him know that if he died, she'd surely follow! Inuyasha shook his head inwardly.

No...She'd live on...wouldn't she? Would his following Kikyo cause Kagome's death? The woman he'd protected from everything since she'd come into his life...would he be the initial cause of her death? He didn't want to know, and yet he had to know.

He had to know whether or not she'd throw her life away, just to be by his side...even if it was as his friend. Friend...she was far more than just his friend. She was his confidant, his strength, his sanity.

Sleep had soon washed over the two and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Now in the day time, when the whole house was awake and setting up for the party that would be held in a few days.

Inuyasha yawned as he watched Kagome plucking away at some weird item that she'd recently added to her room. Something she called a computer. It amazed his just how fast those delicate fingers could move.

"What're you doing?"

"Editing and going through some choices for the party…"

"Song choices?"

"Sota tell you?"

"Mhm…"

"Well, yes. See I recently typed them all out on here and now I'm editing and making sure they're perfect and to my liking."

"Huh…"

"You know, if you're bored you can always go help with the decorations."

"Why should i?"

"Well, it would give you and my cousin time to get to know one another and talk…and it'd make me a bit less nervous."

"Why're you nervous?"

"Cause when I'm editing…I usually sing little verses, and right now, none of them are able to be heard, till the party."

"Oh…"

"Plus, Kyo's friend showed up again, this way you can keep an eye on him."

The hanyou groaned, but couldn't deny that logic and sighed

"Fine…" He said and went to the door.

"Thanks, I'll reward you later for this."

Inuyasha blushed thinking about last night, when they'd shared such a touching night. Shaking his head he shut the door to the room, leaving Kagome to do what she needed to on the strange comoot thing.

"Hm? Well, hello Inuyasha," greeted Kagome's mother.

"Hey…" he said back, donning the purple bandanna like he normally did when he was in Kagome's era. He didn't like wearing it, but to keep their secret he did so.

"Kagome wanted me to help with the set up…and to get to know her cousin."

"I see, well Kyo and grandfather are setting up the stage just of there, maybe they could use a hand." She said with a smile.

Inuyasha shrugged and went out to give the two man a hand.

"Hm…good girl Kagome…this might be a good thing…hm…" Kagome's mother sighed as she shouldered her purse.

"Mom?"

"Oh, Sota, did you want to come with me? I'm going to run an errand for the party."

"Sure…will Inuyasha be okay with cousin Kyo though?"

"Should be, grandpa his with them after all and I would be that if anything got too out of hand, your sister will be able to handle it."

"True."

"Give you love without the pain

Show you light beyond the rain

Gonna make you happy"

"Kagome? Honey,"

"Hm? Oh mom,"

"That sounds lovely dear. I'm running some errands and Sota is with me. Will you be alright with those two down there?"

"Mhm…two? Did Kyo's friend leave?"

"Oh, yes for a little bit, he said he'd be back though. Take care, we'll be back soon…hm, let's have pizza for dinner, shall we?"

Kagome smiled and nodded "Yeah, Inuyasha hasn't had that before."

"Good, have you decided on what you want to wera for the party?"

"Not yet, going to go with Yuka and the girls tomorrow to pick them out."

"Alright, and dear…that one is really pretty."

"Thanks."

Kagome was left alone and returned to her editing as her mother went down to where sota was waiting and they headed off in the car.

"Gonna Make You Happy…" Kagome spoke the words as she stood at her window, looking out to where the three men had finished with the platform of the stage and were working on the supports.

"They seem to be getting along well…good, hopefully things will be alright." She said and sat on her bed.

She too thought back to last night and sighed "God, I sounded so damn cheesy…but I can't help if it was all the truth." She sighed and laid down for a bit.
