Story: Sad, but True
Chapter: Forgive and Forget
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.
Hello Faithful reviewers, I must warn this is short so please forgive me. T.T I love that face! .
"We need to talk," said Inuyasha staring into her confused café eyes. Kagome wondered what he was saying trying to say and why he said it in such a serious tone. What kind of talk? What are we supposed to talk about? Does it have to do with this morning? So many questions, but one made its way to her lips.
"What talk?" asked Kagome cocking her head a little to the side in confusion. Inuyasha bit back down the smile that threatened to spread across his face. She looked so damn adorable! But this was a serious situation.
"We need to talk about the day you left," he said. That made Kagome instantly stiffen and she found her sneakers suddenly interesting. She traced her finger along the pink line on the side. "Why Kagome," he begged for he wanted to know, but he was certain that he already knew from the day she left for she yelled it out at him. Kagome sighed and looked up into the sky to see the sun, shine right back at her.
"I was upset Inuyasha. I was so upset that you always run to her in the night and it hurts me to see you with her. I'm sorry, but I can't handle it. It hurt so much to see her kissing you and you kissing her. I was tired of the pain that always occurred in my heart during those nights when soul stealers passed by." Inuyasha was about to say something, but she held her hand up to silence him. For she had more to say and tears were spilling down her face which made his heart crack and right there he almost went demon with all the emotions of hate for himself.
"After that I started to think of the bad times. I hated it when you insulted me Inuyasha! It was bitch, wench, or anything else that is hurtful. But the worst pain of all besides Kikyo was returning here and you calling me a shard detector. Is that all I am to you! A shard detector which you play as a puppet even if you don't know that you are playing with the strings!" she cried, warm tears endlessly falling.
"Kagome?" said Inuyasha, his ears drooped and he almost could kick himself for all the pain he put her through. Without a second thought Inuyasha held onto her in warm embrace. Kagome gasped when his arms came in contact. She sobbed harder and was struggling in his grasp which only made him tighten his grip. She pounded his chest and tears kept spilling.
"Please Kagome," Inuyasha begged quietly that Kagome strained to hear. "I want to hold you."
"Stop Inuyasha!" she yelled finally getting out of his death grip. Inuyasha looked hurt and he kept the urge to embrace her again. Kagome avoided eye contact and she looked at her shoes, moving them side to side.
"Kagome wh…" Kagome interrupted.
"Why Inuyasha. How could you do that! Did you know how much that hurt seeing that with my own eyes?" She cried and Inuyasha had the what-the -hell-are-you-talking-about face, but more the sight of her tears made his expression soften.
"What are you talking about Kagome?"
"The kiss Inuyasha! How could kiss her! Do you hate me that much?" she whispered the last part. Inuyasha growled and pulled her into his chest. Kagome squeaked in surprise.
"I can never hate you Kagome," he whispered.
"Then why Inuyasha?" she asked in confusion. "You say you don't, but you go off and play kissy kissy with Kikyo. Even though it hurts me."
"Kagome I never really did know that you were hurting when I saw Kikyo."
"Then your as dense as always," she said. She gave a giggle, but it was fake and didn't contain much happiness, much to Inuyasha's dismay. "You still haven't answered my question."
"Well Kagome I thought it was better that way."
"How so?"
"No one wants or loves a filthy hanyou even Kikyo," he answered. He hid his eyes behind his bangs and loosened his grip on her. He was now sure she would laugh and agree with him, but instead he smelt tears. Kagome had tears in her eyes. How could he think she didn't love him? She grabbed his face gently and tilted it to her so they could make eye contact.
"Oh Inuyasha. You don't know how silly that is to me." She brushed his hair out of his face so she could get a clear view of him. "Inuyasha I don't care what you are on the outside. Human, hanyou, youkai, it doesn't matter to me. I care for you and I don't care what you look like or even if you are a half. And besides," She petted one of his ears.
"This is like a bonus." She smiled. Inuyasha was shocked, his mouth was open and eyes wide. He searched through her eyes to see if there was any lie detected, but found that it was all true. He did something he wouldn't believe himself. He kissed her.
Kagome gasped in the kiss and Inuyasha took that to his advantage and dived his tongue into her mouth. Tasting her, but she was too shock to do anything. He pulled away and she looked at him.
"I'm sorry. It's just that I always wanted to do that." He blushed and Kagome giggled.
"Me too, but what about?"
"Kikyo?" He finished for her, but she just nodded. What the heck is wrong with me!? I shouldn't mention her! She thought. Inuyasha sighed.
"I do still love her," Kagome stiffened and she thought she was going to cry again and she was getting angry. (Sorry I forgot to mention when she stopped) "But only on friendly terms like a friend." Kagome sighed in relief which did not go unnoticed by Inuyasha.
"I see you got jealous for a moment there," he chuckled and Kagome was blushing pink. He looked at her and decided it was time. "Kagome?"
"Yes?"
"I..I.lo..ve..you," he stammered. Kagome's eyes widened. Was this a dream? Is Inuyasha the tough guy hanyou actually saying I love you to her? Well she better not wake up soon. Kagome's expression softened and her eyes filled with love. She kissed him. Now it was Inuyasha's turn to be shocked, but he regained control and kissed back. Come on! Who in the right mind not kiss their love back? They looked into each other's eyes.
"I love you Inuyasha," said Kagome smiling her award winning smile. Inuyasha smiled too.
"I love you too, Kagome."
They kissed another time, but filled with more passion and love, but they failed to notice there was someone watching the whole time.
Finally! I actually feel proud of myself with this chapter! I will reread it again later. Right now I'm going to treat myself with a smoothie! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and to all the Kag/Inuyasha fans. I hope you like this chapter of how they made up!
