The next morning, Sesshomaru was still asleep when Inuyasha and Miroku left the mansion and drove in their cars to Kagome's place. They informed Jaken to let Sesshomaru know that they will be back there later in the evening. Inuyasha decided to meet Kagome to have a talk with her.
Upon arriving, they went up to Kagome's place. Sango had opened the door for them and Kagome was in the kitchen, making some breakfast. Kagome looked surprised to see Inuyasha behind Miroku, she thought only Miroku would be the there in the morning to meet Sango.
Sango and Miroku decided to leave them alone and went ahead to do their research on the demons that could be responsible for Rin's abduction.
"I made some breakfast, I hope you don't mind." Kagome said to Inuyasha softly, her back was facing him as she was frying some eggs. She was afraid of what he was going to talk to her about. Sango didn't tell her that Miroku had told Inuyasha the truth, she knew Kagome would be alright.
"Sure, I haven't eaten any breakfast yet... Thanks." Inuyasha said to her and was staring behind her. When Kagome turned to put the breakfast on the plates on the kitchen counter, he quickly turned away. He offered to set the table for her and he went out of the kitchen with the breakfast and coffee.
'I don't wanna go another day,
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.
Seems like everybody's breaking up
Throwing their love away,
But I know I got a good thing right here
That's why I say (Hey)'
They sat down at the table and ate their breakfast quietly. Until Inuyasha couldn't stand the silence, he decided to talk to her. He put down his fork on the plate and opened his mouth to tell her how he felt.
'Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever.
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you.
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby.
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you.'
"Kagome. I had found out about your past from Miroku last night." Inuyasha said to her with a slight smile on his face. Kagome stopped eating and looked up to him. She wasn't sure where the conversation was leading to, so she kept silent.
'I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.
See the way we ride in our private lives,
Ain't nobody getting in between.
I want you to know that you're the only one for me (one for me)
And I say'
"I understand now. I was dense and made the people around me worry about me. All I want to say to you… is that I am already falling for you. Not because you look like Kikyo or have the same scent as her… It is because you are you and I love you just the way you are. So no matter what happens, I am going to stick with you." Inuyasha said to her in a calm tone. He approached her and took her hand. Kagome stood up and saw that he was smiling tenderly at her, both of them were looking into each other's eyes and were lost in reverie. Their surroundings seemed to disappear in their world, it was only the two of them at that point of time. Nothing else matters and they had each other.
'And now
Ain't nothing else I can need (nothing else I can need)
And now
I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me.
I got you,
We'll be making love endlessly.
I'm with you (baby, I'm with you)
Baby, you're with me (Baby, you're with me)'
Inuyasha hugged Kagome and she hugged him back tightly, she was crying. She prayed that this wasn't a dream, if it was a dream, she refused to wake up from it.
'So don't you worry about
People hanging around,
They ain't bringing us down.
I know you and you know me
And that's all that counts.
So don't you worry about
People hanging around,
They ain't bringing us down.
I know you and you know me
And that's why I say'
"So what do you say? Do you want to give us a chance?" Inuyasha looked down to see her face.
"Yes, Inuyasha, the chance is ours. I thought you would not forgive me for what I …" Her sentence was cut off when Inuyasha's lips found hers. Inuyasha could taste the saltiness of her tears but he enjoyed the sweet taste of her lips.
"There is nothing to forgive. I am sorry for ignoring you yesterday, I was just shocked. After knowing about all the things you did, I didn't feel any anger but I was very touched. It made me fall for you all over again or even more." He said to her after their kiss.
"Then you shouldn't apologize since you said that there is nothing to forgive." She said to him and they kissed again. Kagome was feeling very happy that Inuyasha was able to accept her. Inuyasha felt blessed after a long time that he was given a second chance to have someone who he could love again.
Sango and Miroku bought some breakfast and headed to their old school's library. Sango had summoned her pet demon, Kirara, to transport them there. Before they got on Kirara, Sango gave Miroku a very serious warning.
"If you touch me from behind, I will ask Kirara to throw you off from the sky." She said sternly to him. Miroku gave her an innocent smile and put up both his hands in the air. They got on Kirara and travelled to their destination. Upon arriving, they greeted Hachiemon who was the school's professor. Miroku had known him for a long time, they shared the same 'interests' and got along very well with each other. He gave them the permission to use the library for their research.
"Thanks Hachi for giving us the permission. I will give you a treat one of these days." Miroku thanked him and pulled Sango along with him into the library. Sango quickly bowed at Hachi and walked away. Hachi just winked at her and grinned slyly.
"What is that for?" Sango snapped at Miroku. Miroku let go of her hand and looked at her quietly before he spoke.
"Hachi is a little ecchi so I was trying to spare you of his flirting ways." He said softly to her since they were in the library.
"Oh please. If I can manage you, then I can manage him too. Or you're just jealous." Sango told him off.
"You're my girlfriend, that is why." He said to her nicely.
"Baka… Who says I agreed to it?" Sango was blushing and looked away from him.
"Then I will ask you now for which I had asked many times before for the past months. Will you be my girlfriend?" Miroku asked her and hoped that she wouldn't refuse him.
"Let me think about it." Sango answered him and walked to one of the bookshelves, leaving him behind.
"And it is always that same answer." Miroku sighed. What he didn't know was that Sango was smiling to herself when she walked away after he asked her. They found a few books and started their work. They had promised Inuyasha to meet later in the evening.
The sun had shone brightly and they rays entered Sesshomaru's bedroom. He opened his eyes slowly and rubbed his eyes. He felt better after sleeping for hours. Jaken entered his bedroom, pushing a small cart with some breakfast and informed him about his meeting with the rest of the group. Sesshomaru told Jaken to leave him alone and he sat up in his bed. He looked at his breakfast but he had no appetite to eat after what had happened last night. He got out of his bed and stood up to go near the window. He looked out from his window and saw that there was a big hole in the ground outside of the mansion. He wondered what was this demon that had dared to trespass in his family's mansion and kidnapped Rin. He felt pure anger boiling in his blood. He couldn't wait to meet his brother and friends in the evening to discuss about their rescue plan.
Evening came and all of them gathered at the mansion. Inuyasha was sitting closely with Kagome and they looked happy together. Sango and Miroku sat away from each other but every now and then they would be looking at the other secretly. They were all waiting for Sesshomaru in the living room and were lost in their own worlds.
"Hey guys, thanks for coming over. Let's get this done." Sesshomaru said when he arrived in the room. He looked pale but he was calmer than last night. They all gathered around the big table in the room and Miroku placed all the information he got from the library on it. They looked at the pictures of different kind of demons and what were their abilities.
"The demon that we saw last night was called Goshinki. One of a kind, it seldom goes out into the human world. It is able to sense the thoughts of others and I suspect that he has a master who ordered him to come here." Miroku explained to all of them.
"Then that means Rin is in great danger! We must save her!" Sesshomaru was feeling very agitated and impatient to get Rin back.
"Calm down, we have to plan carefully, Sess." Inuyasha said and put his hand on his brother's shoulder. Sesshomaru nodded his head and they discussed about the methods to defeat the demon and later they set out in the middle of the night to Mount Fuji on their rescue mission.
