The rat was in position, and as he went to attack…
"INUYASHA! SIT!"
The gang quickly turned to me now that they finally heard me talk, but then Inuyasha looked at me then is rosary only to see it glow and then he plummeted to the ground.
Soon, all was quiet, my heart quickened, I could even hear my heart beat. Then I heard him. "Ka-Kagome?" Inuyasha said as he lifted his head. But then the silence ended as they saw the rat demon in front of them who was cursing that he missed.
I lifted my hand to give out one more attack before my powers were totally drained. "The light of the precursor." And then a ball of blue light came out of my hands and killed the demon. I soon collapsed entering a world of darkness only hearing his voice say, "Kagome, it was you the whole time…"

I opened my eyes only to have a bright light blind me. I used my hand to cover my face, but as the skin touched my mouth I felt something…my lips. The veil was gone!
I quickly looked around at my surroundings only to see Shippo right beside me knocked out. Miroku was standing in the corner also asleep…yet his hand kept twitching as it he was in need of something to hold, or yet grope. Sango was lying down on the fully transformed Kirara looking as if she finally had a peaceful sleep after hundreds of years. And then there was Inuyasha on the tall tree branch sleeping.
I smiled a sad smile then looked at myself. I was without my top; it was replaced my some bandages that showed some cuts and openings being pressured to stop the bleeding. There were other bandages around my leg and arm, but I ignored them as I found my belongings and placed them back on me as well as taking off the bandages.

As I was fully cloth I placed my veil on and hung my hair in a high ponytail. I kissed Shippo's head and then I left giving everyone another glance.
But as I was passing by the river where the small figures of my friends slowly faded I felt something…something familiar.
I was too weak to sense it, but I knew who it was as I remembered that in my glance toward the small figures one person was missing… "Inuyasha…"
I turned around back to the river and shook my head; I knew that I couldn't escape from him because I was too weak to run…but there was another tactic. "Sit."
Crash! A dark figure fell from the trees across the river.
I giggled for a slight moment, then I went to the closes tree to rest on till the spell worn off; I knew I couldn't run forever, but I felt the need to. Yet for now I knew Inuyasha needed some answers, and if I don't answer some he will keep chasing me.
"Kagome…?"
I turned my head to see him. He was just few feet away. I just gave him a simple smile that gave him his first answer.
At first Inuyasha looked away as if ashamed. I then closed my eyes for a second only to open and see me in his arms as if I was his long lost lover.
"Kagome, it's you." He whispered.
I bit my lip not knowing what to respond. Then I gave the moment to be Akai Doragon Miko and turned into my normal self; as Kagome.
My tears grew then I returned his hug sobbing once more. I was in Inuyasha's arms once more and it felt wonderful; it felt right as if it was meant for me to be in his arms, but I knew it wasn't to last.
I pulled away and looked into his eyes to see of sadness, yet joy, anger but happiness. I grabbed his hand and placed it before my face. "Go ahead; give me your best shot. I know I deserve it. Hit me as hard as you can." I was telling him to slap me. I knew I deserved it more than anyone, and I was ready to accept it.
The thing is Inuyasha didn't hit me. Instead he grabbed my neck and pushed me toward him only to have our lips crash together into a needing kiss.
My eyes widen in surprise, but I soon fell into his spell and returned the kiss with equal need. This was my second kiss and both were for Inuyasha, but this time this kiss was a real one filled with love of one another. This kiss was not too lust filled and not too greedy. For the moment we were on top of the world until I knew it was time for reality.
I stopped the kiss and breathed. Inuyasha's eyes opened to give me another look of compassion. "Do you know how long I waited for that…do you know how long I loved you…?"
It was a statement, not a question. I turned my head in shame then I let out my voice. "I'm sorry. I'm just…dealing with things that I need to deal with, but the only way to do it is to keep away from you Inuyasha…I'm sorry." I was about to leave until his voice was heard again.
"But first, I must know…how do you feel about me?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Stupid Inuyasha." I noticed him flinch but, before he realized it I once again met his lips in another, yet short kiss. "Does that answer your question?"
I then turned away once more. "I promise that when everything is sorted out I will come back…weather in this world or the next, but know I promise I will come back to you."
"And I will be waiting…"
Then I left him staring at his own reflection in the water as I dashed away leaving a trail of saltwater.

Sigh, yes, yes I know "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?! AND SERIOUSLY, WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKIE IT LONGER BECAUSE IT WAS SOOOO LONG SINCE YOU UPDATED, YOU MUST HAVE HAD TIME TO WRITE MORE??! "…flame me if you must, I know I deserve it…I'm being like Kagome and accepting what I deserve. I just had a lot to do, and my mom limiting my computer time and if I did I was too busy on another thing… again I am sorry. Still, hope you liked it so far.
