Ch. Eight

Forever With Me

It was strange how it all happened. One minute they were fighting and then the next...well...they weren't. They were kissing to be honest, but that's how things happened between Kagome and Inuyasha all the time. It would almost seem that they liked to be upset with one another to mask their feelings for each other. Now that they don't have to do that anymore; What would they argue about?...How would they act in front of their friends?...Would Kagome finally tell Hojo there was someone else...now that there really was?

Kagome looked down at Inuyasha on the floor and just sighed.

"What?" he said as he looked back up at her.

"Things are going to be different know aren't they?" she said with another sigh.

"What are you talking about?...I've got my body and you've got yours...if that's what you want to call different" he said as he rolled over to face the wall

"I don't mean like that..." she said with a puzzled look. Kagome didn't really understand what she was talking about. It was just this feeling she had. Inuyasha was now her boyfriend. She had wanted this for so long but know that she had gotten him...

"Then explain what your talking about because I am highly confused here" he said as he brushed up against her leg and brought her out of her thoughts.

"Well...I cant exactly...things just are different...were and item now...but...I just.."she stumbled over her words so badly she just quit trying to explain but her attempt wasn't in vain. Inuyasha always understood Kagome. Better than she understood herself sometimes.

"...No...I get it...but things don't have to be different...things only change if you make the change...just because were together doesn't mean a thing has to change...we still fuss and fight like we usually do...storm off when we get made at each other...you know the usual stuff...none of that has to change unless you want it to...Aim still Inuyasha and your still Kagome" he said with a reassuring smile.

Sometimes he said the wrong things...God did he say the wrong things sometimes...but sometimes he knew exactly what to say. This was one of those times.

"Yeah...I guess your right...no worries then...I feel better" she said as she hugged him tighter than ever.

"I guess we should getting back then?" he said as looked out the window seeing that it was well in to the afternoon.

"Yeah...I guess our friends do deserve to know that were back to normal...no stress were there is none needed" she said as she picked her things up off the bed and proceeded to put her yellow back pack on her back. she walked up to her window and gestured to Inuyasha to go first.

"Your not going to tell your family that your leaving?..."he said with a puzzled look.

"Naa...I'll be back...I always come back..."she said as she mounted Inuyasha's back.She needed an excuse for not going down stairs in front of her family. Epically after all the noise they just made up stairs. She was embarrassed and wanted it to give it a little time to die down before facing them again.She knew she would never hear the end of it from Granps.

After jumping down from the tree he darted towards the well, flung open the doors and took the all too familiar plunge into the dark well.With in a few seconds they were climbing out of the other end of the well.

"Well...how do you want to do this...we could play like were still switched up...you know like a joke...or we could go in there as a couple...or we could just go in there like nothing happened at all.."he said.

After thinking for a minute

Kag(POV)

...the joke thing...no...I am not mean enough...the couple thing...I could do that if i knew that Inuyasha wouldn't die of embarrassment...oh well that last one will work just fine anyway...

"Well lets just walk in there like ourselves...ok?" she said. They started the short walk back to Kaede's house and it wasn't long before they could hear the voices of there friends. Just as they walked thought the door...

...!SLAP!...

"Oh!...Inuyasha...Kagome...your back...uh..sorry you had to see that" Songo said. Moroku was obviously being himself. He had the hand print on his face to prove it.

"Ah...I see you two have returned..." Moroku said as he attempted to rub the pain from his face.

"...And I see your still Moroku..."Inuyasha said with a smile as he pointed to the cherry red hand print on his face.

"Oh...well...see...I was merely wanting to express my feelings for Songo when I went to grab...her...uh...hand..yes...her hand..." Moroku always tried to sound so innocent when it was all to clear that he was lying.

"...Well Inuyasha and I are back to normal!..."Kagome screamed as she threw her hands in the air. Inuyasha quickly looked over at her and smiled. Seeing her at moments like this is what made him happy. The littlest things could make Kagome so happy, but when he saw that had Songo caught him stealing the glance he quickly turned away.

"That's great Kagome...but...Is that all that happened?" Songo said with a hint of question in her tone.

"...Well yeah that's it..nothing else.." she said as she appeared to be thinking. Songo knew she was lying.

Later in the evening after they had all eaten they sat around the fire and just talked. Kagome explained to Moroku and Songo about how she and Inuyasha broke the spell...excluding the parts about them making it official of course.

"Kagome can I talk to you...I mean...alone?" Inuyasha leaned over and whispered in an attempt to look discrete. It didn't work Songo and Moroku both saw.

"Yeah sure..." she said.

The two got up and walked away from their friends so they thought. they headed towards the tree were Inuyasha and Kagome had first met. Little did they know their friends weren't that far behind.

"What are we doing here?" Kagome asked...usually they both only came around this tree when they were made at each other.

"I wanted to give you something...but I didn't want to do it In front of them" he said in a hushed tone. "

"Ok...well...what is it?" Kagome said. Even thought she was with Inuyasha and she knew deep down that she was safe...it didn't change the fact that they were out in the middle of the dark and she was a little nervous.

"Here..." he said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a locket...just like the one she had given him. He had engraved their names inside with his claws. "Just in case something happens to me...or when we beat Naraku...if you cant ever get back here..." he said. It made him sad just to think about it. Kagome hated when he talked like that even thought she knew his words held some truth. It was a dangerous situation...beating Naraku wasn't going to be an easy task.

"...OH...Inuyasha...I..thank you...I'll never take it off" she said as he placed it around her neck. He hugged her really tight just to let her know how much he cared about her. Then his ears perked. He heard voice's and bushes moving...He knew it was their spying friends but he didn't care for once. It didn't matter...nothing matter at that moment in time...except what he felt and the person that he was with. Kagome felt the same way. She never wanted him to let go of her.

"...Promise me something Kagome..." he said

" What?" she said as she looked up at him

"...That you'll never leave me..." he said

"...I promise..." she said

Well that's it...the end...thanks for the Reviews...I want to start another one soon...but Iam not sure what to do yet...but be on the look out.
