A/N Okay, so I looked over some of the chapter and aside from the mistakes I realised that the day's don't make sense... It all happened in 6 days.... all those days were school days... So yeah, let's just not pay attention to that and pretend that the previous chapter was a Friday.
I'm sorry for all the mistakes that I've made and for the slow updating but you know, busy busy busy!
New Feelings
Kagome woke up to Inuyasha lightly nuzzling his face into her hair.
Is he sleeping? Her eyes widened when she noticed his arm was still encircled around her waste. Did we sleep like this all night? He's practically spooning me! She suddenly froze when Inuyasha began to stir. His eyes slowly fluttered open and he went bug eyed when he realized what he was doing.
He quickly took his arm back and rolled back onto his side of the bed slightly embarrassed. As Kagome began to turn around a blush sprouted across he face.
"Good morning, how are you feeling?"
"Uh... Better I guess.... What exactly happened last night?" He scratched the back of his head trying to remember anything that he could.
"Don't worry, nothing happened between us. You had a high fever so I stayed the night to make sure you were okay."
"Oh... Okay, thanks Kagome..." Inuyasha couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It was no problem really, you had me really worried though." She started getting closer to feel his forehead. Inuyasha wasn't sure what she was trying to do so he started backing up on his bed. He eventually backed up so much that he fell off the bed. "Are you okay!"
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Here let me help you up." Kagome stuck out her hand waiting for him to grab it. As soon as he took her hand he pulled her down earning a little shriek. They both blushed when she landed on top of him.
Caught up in the moment both Inuyasha and Kagome began to get closer and closer, their eyes slowly closing.
"Breakfast is ready!" Inuyasha's father came bursting into the room but stopped short when he saw them on the floor, their faces but a couple of inches from each other.
Kagome pushed off of Inuyasha and sat a few feet away from him with her head turned in embarrassement. He sat up, his face redder than a tomato. "Dad, it's not what you think!"
"I'm sure it's not Son, I'm sorry for disturbing you too." He winked at his son and quickly walked out the door closing it on his way out.
Inuyasha turned and saw Kagome, his eyes softened as he crawled up to her side. She flinched when he put his hand on her shoulder. "Kagome? You okay? I'm sorry for what almost happened..."
"It's okay Inuyasha, it was me too... Did we almost just.... You know..."
"Yeah.... I think so..." Damn! I'm such an Idiot, why did I do that? I almost stole her first kiss, mind you, it would have been mine too. Was that a spur of the moment thing or was that actually us?
"Oh god! I'm so sorry Inuyasha... It would have been your first kiss!" I can't believe I almost kissed him! He's my best friend! Why did I almost kiss him though? Do I want to kiss him? Sure these past few days I've been thinking about him a little more than usual but kissing him never entered my mind...
"Don't worry about it Kagome, besides, it would have been yours too..." An awkward silence filled the room as the two teenagers thought about what almost just happened.
"I guess that's true... Um... I think I have to go... My mom probably wants me home now..." Kagome quickly got up and started packing her stuff into the bag she brought.
"Yeah, sure..." He started helping her get her stuff, "do you want me to walk you home?"
"No, I think I'll be okay... Thanks though..."
"You sure Kagome? It's not a problem."
"I'll be fine." Kagome slung the bag over her back and started walking to the door in his room. Inuyasha followed her out and down the stairs.
"You're going home Kagome? Why not have breakfast with us?" Mr. Taisho jumped when he someone lightly but firmly kicked his foot. He turned and glared at Sesshomaru who was sipping his morning coffee.
"I do not believe that she wishes to stay any longer Father. Let her leave, it is obvious that something is troubling her."
"When did you start becoming so observant and considerate Sesshomaru?" Toga raised a brow at the stoic young man in front of him.
"I am not being considerate Father, but the atmosphere is not very comfortable for this Sesshomaru."
"Keh, Sesshomaru will never be considerate, he's to much of an icicle to feel anything." Sesshomaru shot and icy glare that sent a shiver up Inuyasha's spine.
"I'm sorry Toga, but I really have to get going, I'm sure breakfast here would be delicious but I really have to go."
"Alright, well maybe next time." Kagome nodded gratefully at Sesshomaru and quickened her pace as she made it out the door. What am I going to do! I don't want things to be awkward between me and Inuyasha, but at the same time, it's not like we can just go back to the way things were...
Inuyasha watched Kagome as she walked down the street. I want thing to be the way they were before, but I think we both know that's not going to happen. Do I like her? Sure, as friend. But do I like her, like her? She has gotten a lot more beautiful, she's more mature but still fun, great personality, caring and supportive. The list could go on, what about Kikyo? She betrayed me, but she's smart, looks exactly like Kagome but a little different and very mature. The thing I like more about Kagome is that she's been my best friend for over ten years, she knows me so well, we have so much history together, Kikyo can be unemotional at times, she doesn't seem to have a lot of fun in the thing I enjoy either. Me and Kagome just click in a way, I can't really describe the way I feel when I'm around her... He went back in the house, shut the door behind him and went straight back upstairs to his room.
Kagome's House
"Okay, I'll be right over."
"Thanks Sango, it's really urgent so get here ASAP!" Kagome hung up the phone and sat back on the bed.
Fifteen minutes later, Sango was knocking at the door. Kagome quickly rushed down to answer it. She grabbed Sango and ran with her up to her room and closed the door.
"Kagome calm down! By the way, where's Kikyo, your grampa, and mom?"
"I haven't seen Kikyo but my mom's with grampa, he's getting a check up. Anyways, I don't know what to do! I almost did something that would have changed everything...."
"What do you mean? Changed everything in what way?"
"Well.... Yesterday, I went to Inuyasha's house while you and Miroku were at the movies..." Kagome raised a brow when she saw Sango with a blush. "What? Why are you blushing? What happened! Tell me!"
"Well.... I don't really know how it happened but I think me and Miroku are going out now..."
"OH MY GOD! Seriously! That's great Sango, I'm so happy for you!"
"Hehe, thanks Kagome..... Anyways, back to your problem."
"Oh right, so after I went to Inuyasha's house I had to explain to his dad the whole situation. After that he let me see Inuyasha, I went upstairs and he was a mess. I ended up staying the night," Sango's eyes went wide, "not like that! I slept over because Inuyasha broke out into a high fever so I stayed the night to make sure he was okay."
"How is he now?"
"He's better but that's not the problem. When I woke up he was kinda holding me to him... The worst part was it felt right.... Even worse, that's not the worst part... I tried to check if he still had a fever, but he started backing up and fell of the bed, I tried to help him up but he pulled me down with him."
"That's doesn't sound as bad as you make it seem, aside from the part where he was holding you!"
"Wait, let me finish. When we were on the floor... I was kinda on top of him and then...." Kagome started growing redder and redder, "we almost kissed..."
"YOU ALMOST WHAT!?"
"Exactly...."
"Kagome, how could you almost kiss Inuyasha?! Besides, you're going out with Kouga so that would be so wrong!"
"I know, I know, It could have just been like a spur of the moment kind of thing, I'm not really sure. I know I have Kouga but thing haven't been going so well, I've snapped at him countless amount of times, we haven't even been on out second date."
"Yeah but Kagome, you two have only been going out for a week. Kouga's a good guy, you have to give him a chance."
"I know, I'm not saying he isn't but I never really feel like we a have a connection you know?"
"I guess... Tell me Kagome, what do you feel towards Inuyasha?"
"Well, I don't really know... We've been inseperable since we were like three... Sure, I have thought of what it would be like if we ever became more than friends but...."
"You have? Kagome, do you like Inuyasha?"
"As a friend sure..."
"You know what I mean Kagome."
"Well... I don't know Sango! It's not that easy, you just don't understand... If I were to go out with Inuyasha everything would just change, what if we broke up?"
"That's true Kagome but think about it, you to have a special bond, if you broke up maybe things would be awkward but you two could still be friends."
"Maybe..." Kagome fell back on her bed and sighed.
Inuyasha's House
"Dude, you almost kissed Kagome!"
"I know, Miroku....I don't know what to do though."
"There's not much you can do, what's done is done Inuyasha."
"I guess so, but it's going to be awkward between us and I don't want that."
"Then don't make it be like that Inuyasha. You like Kagome, it's pretty obvious, just go for it man."
"I can't Miroku, why would she ever want me? Besides, she has Kouga and she only sees me as a friend."
"You don't know that though, from what you said, she almost kissed you too."
"Well, I guess that's true.... But what would happen if we were to brake up? I don't want to risk our friendship, what if she rejects me, things will be awful and I really can't lose her Miroku, I just can't."
"I understand that Inuyasha, but sometimes, you have to take the risk, Kagome has been your best friend since you were three, I'm pretty sure your friendship is strong enough to withstand that."
"Guess you're right..."
"Speaking of relationships, guess who I'm going out with!"
"Great another victim, who is the unlucky one this time?"
"Sango!" Miroku was stopped short when a fist collided with his head.
"What the hell Miroku! You can't go out with Sango, what happens when you get tired of her like you do the rest of the girls you go out with?!"
"Inuyasha, that won't happen. I think I really like Sango, she's different from all the other girls. I feel so... Good when I'm around her, it's hard to explain. I like how she doesn't just fall at my feet, how I had to get her to like me... Maybe that's how Kouga felt about Kagome...."
"Maybe...." Inuyasha averted his eyes away from Miroku.
"That's not what I meant Inuyasha! Tell me, what is it that you like about Kagome."
Inuyasha's eyes softened as he thought about her. "I love how she doesn't jump to conclusions, how she understands me so well, how she can practically read my mind. I love how caring she is, how selfless she is. I love how I feel when I'm around her, how she can make me laugh and smile when I'm not in the greatest mood, how she's always there for me, how she knows when to leave me alone..." Inuyasha looked up at a grinning Miroku and instintly blushed.
"Sounds to me like you like her more than a friend Inuyasha. Tell her that Inuyasha, tell her all those things you told me. Take the chance, forget about Kouga and Kikyo, just think about you and Kagome."
"I can't Miroku! You don't seem to understand that I can't just go and confess my feeling towards her, I'm still not even all that sure of them myself! I'm not you, I can't just go up to her and tell her that I'm practically head over heels for her and that she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and that to me she's like and angel!" Inuyasha's hand flew to his mouth as his eyes went wide as dinner plates. "Did I just say that..."
"Yes you did my friend, I do believe that you just indirectly told me that you are in love with Kagome."
"No I didn't! Me in love with Kagome! Get real man!" I'm in love with Kagome?
"Yes you do Inuyasha, Kagome's a great girl, you better take her fast before someone else does."
"You're so stupid, in case you have forgotten, she already is taken..."
"Exactly my point! You have to win her heart Inuyasha, you can't just stand by as other guys go after her, you have to take action, claim what's yours!"
"You can be such an idiot sometimes Miroku! In case you haven't noticed, Kagome's not a piece of meat that can just be taken."
"Than make her one Inuyasha."
"But I don't want it to be like that I want us to really be able to get closer. I want to make sure that our feelings are mutual and I'm just not sure if they are..."
"I've got it!"
"Got what?"
"I have an idea!"
"Then spit it out already!"
"I'll ask Sango, Kagome probably spoke to her about it so I can ask her what Kagome feels."
"That's a great idea! But one little thing, what if she tells Kagome?"
"I'm sure she won't, just leave it up to me."
"Thanks Miroku, I owe you one."
"Of course you do." Inuyasha walked with Miroku towards the door and opened it. When Miroku left Inuyasha went straight back up to his room to waste the rest of the day.
I'm counting on you Miroku, don't let me down!
A/N Not as long as I was hoping for it to be but it's still not all that short... Things are developing between Inuyasha and Kagome but, I'm not planning on breaking Kagome and Kouga up just yet, as much as I don't particularly like the pairing, I just think that if Inuyasha and her got together now it would just be way too soon...
Well, It's my birthday on Tuesday and it was my sisters birthday yesterday so that's exciting! The best present you guys could possibly give me would be reviews!
