"…She Stayed…"

"Kagome? Are you going to stay…with me?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, she wanted to say no, that they couldn't, that they wouldn't stay together, but she couldn't say no to him. He loved her, and she loved him, and maybe, just maybe, they could work past this. It was worth a try. Besides, she grew up in the ghetto, she knows for a fact that true love is hard to come by and that that is just what they share, you know, True love.

"….I'll stay…with you."

Inuyasha immediately stood up and held her close to him. He kissed her very lightly on the head,

"I love you Kagome. And don't you ever do that to me again!"

Kagome smiled softly at him. And she knew that it was definitely meant to be. He wanted to know who it was, how it happened. He would ask, she should just tell him, she shouldn't she? She sat down on the couch and looked up at him,

"Inuyasha, I know that you want to know what happened that night, and I think that I should tell you. Don't say anything while I'm telling you this story. Just listen, okay, Puppy?"

Inuyasha nodded and sat down, he decided to ignore the comment about him being a puppy. He looked at her, and waited to hear her story. Kagome took in a deep breath and began her story, starting from her walking home with Jaylin to her coming home and cooking, she even told him about her and Jaylin's little talk outside the restaurant after she and the girls had finished eating dinner. He sat there in complete silence while he took in all of this information. But one thing was going on in his head, the automatic instinct, to kill Jaylin, and to make him suffer for what he did to Kagome. For how he hurt Kagome, that bastard had to pay. After Kagome finished her story, she looked at Inuyasha, for throughout her story of what had happened, she didn't once look at him, she couldn't, she felt ashamed, dirty, even.

"Inuyasha, just don't kill Jaylin. I know that that is what is going through your mind. It wasn't his fault, it was mine. Maybe I led him on to believe that I wanted him. Maybe I did something. Maybe it was just my fault in general. I understand if you want to break up with me now."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome in shock, not from what she said, although that too was also in his mind, but from what he asked her not to do, and her reasoning behind it. He knelt down in front of her,

"Kagome, Jaylin, that bastard, he needs to pay. You didn't cause this. You didn't lead him on. Everyone knew that he had it bad for you. You even knew it. I suppose that he would've tried to do something, but to this extreme. Kagome, you have to understand that I love you and I would never break up with you. It wasn't your fault. And I may not kill him, but he deserves what he gets, Kagome. I mean it."

He was thinking in his mind of many different 'accidents' that could happen to Jaylin, but he didn't how it on his face. He showed only concern and love for Kagome whom he did care about. He knew what to do, and he knew exactly how he was going to do it. Kagome, who didn't have a clue to what was going on his mind sighed and gave Inuyasha a hug,

"I'm sleepy, can we just go to bed?"

Inuyasha nodded and picked her up, bridal style. She leaned her head against his chest and smiled, she was happy with him, and it would've been the worst mistake in her life if she left him. That would have meant that Jaylin won, and she would not have anyone take her away from her Inuyasha. Inuyasha placed Kagome on the bed and placed his hand on her head, and smiled at her,

"Okay, get some rest Kagome. We'll talk more about this tomorrow, but for now, just rest."

Kagome smiled and put her head on his lap, and was soon fast asleep. As soon as Inuyasha was sure that she was asleep, he put her under the covers and kissed her forehead. He had some phone calls to make. The first, was to Sesshomaru,

"Sess? It was Jaylin."

"What are you going to do, Inuyasha?"

"I thinking about murder, what do you have in mind?"

"Don't kill him, make him suffer, painfully. I'll talk to you tomorrow; Rin's calling me on the other line."

"Aiight, bye."

"Bye."

And that was end of his conversation with his only brother. Inuyasha thought, and called Kouga next,

"Wolf boy. It was Jaylin, man."

"That sorry son of a….what are we gonna do?"

"Any ideas? Sess said not to kill him. Just make him suffer."

"I agree with Sess. But no, Dog boy, I got work in the morning, call me tomorrow, and we'll plot his torture."

"Perfect. Bye."

"Peace out."

Inuyasha hung up the phone and called Miroku, the protective one out of the bunch,

"Miroku, man, it was that bastard, Jaylin."

"…WHAT? I'll kill him, I'll kill him. How dare he touch one of my best friends. What are we gonna do about this, Inu? Cuz, I'm down. Hell yeah, am I down."

Inuyasha grinned; this is why he saved Miroku for last,

"Sesshomaru said not to kill him, but make him torture, long and hard."

"I got you. Let's cut his balls off and then cook it and make him eat it!"

"Well well well, mister Hannibal Lector, I don't think I want those honors, let's stick with something more, sinister, but not that sick."

"Well, you never know, it might work."

"…It just might…no. Kagome told me not to kill him, we'll talk tomorrow, with the other guys. Go talk to Sango, and don't tell her our plans, she'll tell Kag."

"Aiight, man, but I'm down for whatever is planned as long as its bloody and cruel. I'm not usually one for things like that, but he deserves it…"

"Peace out, monk."

"Aiight, half-demon."

The two laughed and hung up the phone. Inuyasha went back to the bed where Kagome lay. He laid down next to her and smiled, one of the few and far in between sincere smile. He gathered her up in his arms and laid beside her. His arms wrapped around her in a protective manner. Protecting her from everything and everyone of the world outside their bed, and their apartment.

However, little did they know, Jaylin was sitting outside their apartment; he just knew that Kagome was going to leave Inuyasha. But she didn't come out of the apartment, and the lights had just turned off. He hit the steering wheel of his car,

"DAMNIT! She was supposed to leave tonight!"

He sighed and shook his head,

"Well, there's always tomorrow. Until then my sweet."

With that, he pulled out of the apartment in the night.

Meanwhile inside the apartment, right before Inuyasha closed his eyes, he whispered out loud into the darkness,

"…She stayed…"

And with that, he closed his eyes, a small smile on his face, and in his arms, the angel whom he loved with all of his being and even more.

Sun-chan: Well, how was it? Whatcha think?

Kaylie-chan: DO you guys like it? I have a major writer's block! But tell me what you think! I know that this is WAY shorter than usual, but hey! Until next time….Hasta Pronto!
