Summary: Inuyasha tells Kagome what he thinks about her.
Kagome was uncomfortable.
It's been five minutes and the only thing Inuyasha managed were hushed cursed words while glancing her way now and again.
Rolling her eyes impatiently, Kagome heaved a heavy sigh. "Look, if all you're gonna be doing is cussing like an asshole – mind if I go?" She didn't wait for an answer as she her way towards the back door of the club.
"Those stars up there – they're beautiful aren't they?"
Pausing in her trot, Kagome looked behind her to pin Inuyasha with a quizzical look. "Wow – who'd have thought that being deep was a part of the great Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha cut her a steely look. "When you're done being a bitch, maybe you'll like to listen to me?"
Kagome scoffed, remaining silent as she folded her arms, waiting for him to continue. She hoped whatever he wanted to say wouldn't take long because spending unnecessary time with Inuyasha wasn't good for her – especially seeing that he chose to ignore her open yet unplanned confession.
"Ever thought about holding a star – owning one even?" Curving his lips slightly, Inuyasha turned in gaze back to the sky.
"It's obviously impossible."
"I know," Inuyasha shook his head with a laugh. "I just can't believe you like me – all this time." He sighed.
Kagome watched as Inuyasha finger-combed his hair, captivated by his beauty in the moon's light.
"You see, I've always pictured you as a star." He confessed. "You know, something to look at but never to hold, never to own…"
Kagome's breath hitched.
"Are you saying…"
She was rooted to her spot as he neared her, unable to move as his arms encircled her waist. "Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying." Pulling her flush against him, he touched his lips to her ear.
"I like you too Kagome."
