Chapter 14: Hello True Love

-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-

Stun. If that's how you describe the feeling you get when it feels like your heart had stopped at the sudden revelation and it had rendered you speechless that it felt like you couldn't move. That's the feeling you get, when you're stunned.

A couple, holding each other like the world was sucking them apart. A kiss, connecting the two lovers into a state of bliss that made their minds reel at the sensation it brought them. A shock, to the two figures who made their way around the corner and came upon a couple, within a kiss, that stunned them, both.

They watched as the two were in their own world, loving the feeling they were giving each other. However, one couldn't take it. It wasn't right for the figure with long silver hair. He growled at the two, definitely catching their attention as they ripped apart from each other and looked flushed at the sudden surprise.

Inuyasha felt like he just entered a nightmare. He was about to tell Mrs. Higurashi that his mother wanted to talk to Kagome, when he came around the corner to an image that will haunt him. Inuyasha saw Onigumo holding Kikyo close to his body, like the two were connected, and he was kissing her. 'He was kissing my girlfriend!' he thought, with anger. Inuyasha's growl increased as he realized the depth of this situation.

Kikyo, however, was still taken aback that she couldn't comprehend her sister and boyfriend standing to the side, shocked. Or at least, Kagome was. Kagome watched as Kikyo held onto her chest, take in heaves of breath while Onigumo caught his footing, and stared at the ground, embarrassed. She was full on blown away at the site she found when coming around the corner. But, Kagome could feel Inuyasha getting upset, maybe beyond upset.

Kikyo dared not to look at Inuyasha right now. She could feel his burning eyes on her, trying to get her to turn her head, but she would not. Onigumo felt so uncomfortable as he didn't know what to say. He knew that Inuyasha and Kikyo were going out but he didn't know that he was going to be scared to death by him. Onigumo looked up to Inuyasha glaring at him, while growling at the same time. He knew he was in for it, he could feel it in Inuyasha's stare, and now, he was terrified.

There was a long, awkward silence. No one knowing what to say, just the sound of Inuyasha's growling, but it slowly silenced, as he was the first to comprehend words.

"Someone explain," he said in a deep voice. Inuyasha was raging with emotions. He couldn't calm down and he needed answers. Now.

Kikyo still hasn't looked up and Onigumo kept opening and closing his mouth, not really knowing what to tell. Everything was quite explainable. Inuyasha looked at Kikyo with demanding eyes.

"Kikyo. Do you have anything to say?"

Kikyo felt nervous, but at the same time, she did have lots to say. In a way, she was embarrassed and guilty that she was caught kissing another man. But, she tried to reason with herself about another problem. Her sister.

"No, I don't have anything to say Inuyasha." she said, looking into his eyes, showing her determination.

Inuyasha looked like he was dumbfounded. "What the fuck do you mean 'you have nothing to say'?" Kagome didn't know if she should cut in and help the two, but she didn't know whom to help out.

"I mean, you saw what happened. I don't have to explain anything." Kikyo looked to Onigumo and gave him apologizing eyes. "Why don't you leave, Onigumo?"

Onigumo was about to say something when Inuyasha spoke up. "He isn't going anywhere." Inuyasha stared Onigumo down and Onigumo didn't try to leave, not only because he really wanted to, but also because he didn't know if Inuyasha was going to hurt Kikyo, or explode on something else.

Kagome decided to speak. "Kikyo, why don't you go in the house and I'll settle with these two." Kagome tried to reason.

Kikyo looked at her sister and glared. "Shut up."

Kagome then looked wide-eyed at her sister. She felt hurt that her sister told her that and the look that Kikyo gave her made her want to turn around and leave. Kikyo looked like she hated her.

"Do you think I'm a fool, Kagome? I know what's going on between the two of you. And don't you say anything, Inuyasha," she said, now glaring at him. Inuyasha, though, didn't even flinch from her glare as his blood was boiling within him and not even a woman's stare could make him afraid right now.

"It's obvious to anyone with eyes. You two like each other. All this time, I knew that you two were falling for one another. So why don't you just end it, huh?" she said, now furious at having to verbally tell them something that was so completely easy to tell. She was mad, in the least that she had to tell her boyfriend to dump her. Kikyo just didn't want to be between the two, she didn't want to be his girlfriend if he would go with her sister. 'Why don't I just end it!'

"It's over Inuyasha!" Kikyo said, looking to the ground, feeling like her world was torn from her. However, Kikyo knew that this was the only way to solve anything. "I guess, you and me were never meant to be."

Onigumo looked back between the two, confused on what the other was going to do. Kagome had her head down, as she was still a little hurt at her sister's attitude towards her. She was barely even aware as Inuyasha called her name.

"Kagome, let's go," Inuyasha said, walking away from the three. He headed towards the stairs without a glance back at his ex-girlfriend. Inuyasha had his head held high and was determined to get home. Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha had disappeared from their view. She didn't want to look at her sister, afraid that she will feel even more rejected. Therefore, Kagome just walked after Inuyasha, with the two staring at her back.

Kagome got half way down the stairs and saw Inuyasha sitting on his bike. He turned it on when she got to the bottom and she got on, not even wanting to try to comfort him. She wanted comfort for herself, they both needed it, but she didn't want to talk. She grasped his waist as he headed towards his home.

The two of them watched as Kagome left their sight. Onigumo heard Kikyo sigh as she leaned against the door for support. Kikyo felt so exhausted. Having to say those things. Some she didn't mean, but at the time, she felt like saying them so bad. Now, she feels bad, for the both of them. Kikyo felt miserable but saw Onigumo walk up to her.

"Are you okay?" he asked, concerned about how she was feeling after all of that drama.

Kikyo slowly nodded, getting off the door and smiling at him. "I'm going to go in. Thanks for everything," she said, opening the door and closing it once her figure got inside. Onigumo watched as she left his sight and then he turned around to go home. He felt bad for Kikyo, and knew that she probably needed someone to talk to. But, as he walked home, a plan formed in his head to comfort Kikyo.

-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-

Inuyasha got into the garage and turned off his bike. He felt Kagome get off and then he popped his stand up, leaving the bike there and going to the door into his house. Kagome followed, knowing that Mrs. Takahashi still wanted to talk to her, but she didn't want to talk right now. Not after what just occurred.

Inuyasha opened the door and the two entered the living room. He really didn't want to talk to anyone, let alone look at anyone. His father, brother and mother was all sitting in the living room, however, as they looked up to their new guests. Izayoi smiled at Kagome.

"Kagome. It's so nice to see you again," she greeted, getting up from her seat. Kagome slowly looked up and smiled, trying to forget everything and be happy. But Izayoi could tell that something was wrong, as Inuyasha left to go into the backyard.

"Inuyasha," his father called, but Inuyasha kept going, not even turning back. Izayoi walked over to Kagome as she saw her head bow and her hands were clasped in front of her.

"What happened, sweetheart?" Izayoi asked, now concerned for the two.

Kagome looked around at the ground, feeling all of the eyes on her. "Kikyo just broke up with Inuyasha," she said, quietly.

Izayoi gasped and looked shocked but felt bad for her son, and for Kikyo. 'What happened?' "Come, Kagome. Sit down," she said, leading Kagome to one of the chairs with everyone else. Kagome, however, wished that she could just be alone but she didn't want to be mean. She sat down, to the right of Inutaisho, and he looked over at her, giving her a warm look.

"Is everything alright with you?" he asked, sensing her distress.

Kagome shook her head, looking down. "My sister hates me. She blames me for being between her and Inuyasha's relationship." Kagome looked up at them with sorrowful eyes. "The worst thing about it is that she was right."

Izayoi softened her eyes at the distraught girl. "Kagome, it wasn't your fault. Your sister…must have been mad that she just blurted out things that she didn't mean."

Kagome shook her head. "She meant every word, I could see, deep in her eyes. She meant everything, from the words, to the look she gave me." Kagome got up and looked at Izayoi. "Can I be alone for a while?"

Izayoi smiled tenderly at her and understood. She nodded, "Of course. You can go in the garden, if you please."

Kagome nodded. "Thank you," she said, and then she walked away, with her head down and her heart confused. Izayoi wondered if the two would be all right by themselves, but if that was what they wanted, then that's what she will give them. Although, later, she was going to sit down and have a talk with them if they needed more comfort. Izayoi watched Kagome's retreating figure with a heavy heart, yet Kagome didn't really want to stay and talk. Nevertheless, she headed towards the garden, she didn't know where it was but she didn't need to know, all she needed was to be alone.

-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-

Kagome found her way outside the house, it was huge the so-called 'backyard'. Yet, it was so beautiful to her eyes. The land was lush and there was green everywhere. In front of her, there was a region of trees, standing tall and it covered a vast amount of space, yet that wasn't their backyard. Kagome continued walking forward to a fountain she could see. As she neared it, Kagome looked up to see it was a sculpture of a woman, just like in the front of the house, only thing this one was more familiarizing to Kagome's eyes.

"Hello, mother," she said, smiling at the statue made from stone with water coming from its base and sprouting up to fall back down in an arch. The statue was carved into the Legendary Priestess Midoriko. She wore her miko outfit with her ancient armor and her jewels were set perfectly in the middle of her forehead. The statue had the arms clasped together, at the chest, and it smiled, with the eyes casting down on the pool of water beneath its feet. Kagome smiled at the beauty, and the little similarity, the statue had with the real priestess.

Kagome continued walking, around the statue, and saw plain land. It seemed like the family could bring a thousand people and fit them in their backyard. There were flowers blooming in patches along the grass, and all the way to the right, Kagome could see a building. Although she didn't want to go exploring right now, she just wanted to be surrounded by peace. Kagome turned around and saw a lovely garden to the left. She squealed and her eyes had lit up as she hastily walked towards the beautiful garden.

The garden was surrounded by a small stonewall, just round stones piled on top of each other. There was only one entrance into the garden, where a Springfield Vinyl Arbor Arch was located with Hollyhock growing on it. Kagome walked under the arch and entered the garden, immediately feeling the peace it radiated. Kagome finally felt the peacefulness she has been craving for. This garden was beautiful as her eyes took in everything, from the tiny flowers growing in rows to the small trees that outline the garden, along the walls. There were numerous kinds of flowers; ranging from Tulips to Azalias. There were flower bushes, like the Hydrangea, and there were single flowers such as the Roses and the Daffodils.

Kagome dazzled at all the colorful flowers scattered everywhere in the garden. She continued to walk down the stone path while looking left to right. 'It's so beautiful in here. It reminds me of the Maboroshi Kokudo…well, sort of.' Kagome looked in front of her to see another water fountain, only, this one was a standard, stone water fountain; with three levels that has water flowing down into the next bowl. Around the fountain was a wall to keep the water in but also for sitting.

Kagome sat on the wall and gazed into the water. She saw her reflection and was struck with the memory of what happened not too long ago. Kagome sighed and felt her body weaken, but she looked over her shoulder and saw the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. There was a rose garden, around the back of the fountain. Kagome loved roses; it was her favorite flower for it could represent anything that you wanted, if you could understand the meaning behind the representation. Kagome's eyes lighten up as she walked towards the red roses. There were only red, pink and white, but Kagome loved them all, no matter what color. Although she really loved the red. Kagome sat on the grass and smelt the roses, relaxing her body and calming her soul.

-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-

Kikyo walked into her room and locked the door, not really wanting to talk to anyone, at all. She felt like her world was just taken away from her. Mostly because of her. Kikyo had gone off at Inuyasha and Kagome. She felt so bad for saying all those horrible things to her sister and she felt bad for leaving Inuyasha with the things she told him. He at least needed an explanation of why she didn't want to be with him anymore. But, of course, he too should feel that need to not be together. Kikyo sighed and lied on her bed, snuggling into her pillow. Everything went wrong. She didn't want it to go that far, and now that she has, she has a lot of explaining to do. But Kikyo didn't know if they wanted to talk to her.

The sound of her telephone had made her body get off her bed and walk towards her dresser. Kikyo looked at the caller number and didn't recognize it.

"Hello?" she said as she lied back down on her bed.

"Kikyo," a male voice said from the other side of the line. Kikyo's eyes widen as she realized the voice.

"Onigumo." she said as a greeting. She could hear him chuckle.

"I hope I didn't call you too soon."

Kikyo giggled. "No. I was just thinking."

"About what happened?" he asked.

"Yeah." Kikyo said, still remembering everything clearly.

"Well, I thought of something as I was walking home. Why don't I take you out to dinner tonight? It could get your mind off of things."

Kikyo thought that he sounded concerned for her, since he was right there when everything went down. Still, she didn't feel like leaving her room. Although, maybe she could get her mind off of all of this if she went to dinner with him. It doesn't really matter anyways; she's not going out with Inuyasha anymore so nothing is holding her back.

"Sure," Kikyo said, nodding her head, even though he couldn't see.

"Great. I'll pick you up at 7 tonight."

"Okay, bye." Kikyo said, and then closed her phone. She looked up to the ceiling, hoping that she could get her mind to relax tonight.

-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-

The sun had slowly sunk into the depths of the land. The sky had turned a soft pink at its absence, and then it had turned that fateful black of which night is known for. Stars began to appear on the vast sky as the full moon began to rise in the East, high above the mountaintops and blanketed the land with its gleam of white light.

Inuyasha remained sitting on the ground, next to a flowing river. He remembered, when he was young, he used to run out into the forest behind his home and come to this river. It was lovely, with purple flowers growing on both sides of the river's edge. The water was so clean that you could see, even the smallest fishes in there. There was also a hot spring nearby and sometimes Inuyasha would go there to bathe as well.

It was so lovely out here in the wild. And he loved it. That's why, Inuyasha retreated into his forest for some peace and quiet to sort all of his emotions. Why did Kikyo dump him? He couldn't understand. Inuyasha was almost blown away when Kikyo dumped him like that.

"It's over Inuyasha!" She had said it with so much confidence, as if she didn't like him anymore, like she never had feelings for him. Inuyasha was confused, also by the way Kikyo held her ground.

"I guess you and me were never meant to be." Was that the reason? Is that the reason why Kikyo had felt so strong to tell those words to him and break it off? It must be. 'Do I feel the same?' he tried asking himself, hoping that he could solve his problems. 'Maybe it wasn't meant to be.' Inuyasha looked in the river and saw the moon in its reflection. He looked up to see the land dark and he didn't even recognize when the sun had gone down. Inuyasha got off the ground and started to walk back to his house.

'Maybe Kikyo was right. I…just don't have feelings for her anymore.' Inuyasha thought that, maybe, they both felt the same way. In a way, Inuyasha was crushed to know that Kikyo dumped him. However, he also felt a knew light surfacing, like he should have broken up with Kikyo a long time ago. Back when he started to like…Kagome.

"All this time, I knew that you two were falling for each other." Inuyasha was a bit embarrassed about that. He and Kagome haven't even been touchy with one another and other people, especially his ex-girlfriend, had noticed that he liked her. But, Kikyo had said that they both were falling for one another. 'Does Kagome like me?' Inuyasha had thought that Kagome was just being friendly to him since they were good friends. He thought that she was a kind and caring person who always treated her friends with generosity. But he didn't think that Kagome would like him.

"So why don't you just end it, huh?" Realization hit him full on. Kikyo wanted to break up with him. Kikyo must have lost her feelings for him and she wanted him to break it off. Inuyasha finally understood the whole ordeal. Kikyo doesn't like him anymore because she must feel that she likes Onigumo more. And, he doesn't like Kikyo anymore because he likes Kagome more. Everything now made perfect sense to him and Inuyasha felt so relieved to finally understand. It felt like a huge weight came off his chest. 'I guess, it just wasn't meant to be, huh Kikyo?' he thought, smirking at the whole thing.

Inuyasha saw Midoriko's fountain and sighed. 'Now everyone is going to start asking questions.' Inuyasha didn't want to tell everyone his problem; it's not theirs, so leave it alone. He scrunched his face and took a big breath, getting ready for the questions, but as he did, Inuyasha had sniffed a familiarizing scent. He turned towards the rose garden and his body stilled.

'Kagome…' Inuyasha walked towards the garden, intending on finding out why Kagome was in there. He walked under the arch and followed the stone path until he got to the end. There, he saw Kagome, lying on the ground next to the garden of red roses. He smiled tenderly at the sight. Kagome had picked one flower that was currently in her hand, which was grasped towards her chest. She was lying on her left side with her raven hair blanketing the grass behind her. One leg was on top of the other and her face gave off a very peaceful, slumbering look that made Inuyasha's heart melt at the sight. 'She's so beautiful.'

Inuyasha knelt down next to Kagome and thought she was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, with the roses around her and the moon's glow casting down on them; it gave her such an angelic look that made his heart beat rapidly within its chambers. Inuyasha sat down at her feet, marveling the beauty before him. He had his eyes on her ever since he saw her and he didn't even recognize her eyes flutter open.

Kagome had sense a presence nearby and so she slowly opened her eyes. First, she had seen the garden of red roses in front of her face but then, as she looked to the side, she saw Inuyasha sitting there. He seemed to be daydreaming but he was staring at her. Kagome turned red immediately and Inuyasha caught the scent of Kagome's awakening. He looked up to see Kagome looking at him and he immediately turned his head away, giving off a dumbfounded look and turning probably the same color as the rose. Inuyasha remained as stiff as a board with his head turned away from Kagome as she sat up next to him. Kagome remained quiet and still, finding the moment quite awkward as she awoke to this situation.

'How long was he sitting there?' Kagome thought, as she looked at the ground, afraid of making eye contact. She hoped that she wasn't drooling or snoring. That would be terrible to do in front of him, although she barely did it when she was alone. However, Inuyasha had moved, which caught her eye as she watched him stand up.

"Inuyasha?" she asked, uncertain of what he was doing. Inuyasha turned around to look at her.

"We have to talk, Kagome," he said quietly, as he moved to sit next to the fountain. Kagome got up and dusted herself off, and then she sat down next to him with her rose lying on her lap.

"What do you want to talk about?" she asked with innocent eyes.

Inuyasha looked away and into the garden. "I've been thinking about what happened today. It took me a long time, but I've finally realized why Kikyo broke up with me."

Kagome looked at the side of his face and smiled. "I know." Kagome turned her head to gaze into the fountain's water and saw the full moon within its reflection. Inuyasha looked at Kagome with a confused, yet surprising, look.

"You know?" he asked.

Kagome nodded, still looking into the water, afraid of meeting his eyes after what she was about to say. She took a deep breath. "I realize that Kikyo doesn't like you anymore. She seemed to fall for Onigumo more than you, since they obviously had kissed, and I realized that I wasn't the one to blame."

Kagome looked back to Inuyasha with a smile. "I thought that Kikyo had hated me because I was getting between the two of you. However, the truth is, she didn't hate me because I was a nuisance but she was confused about the fact that she denied her feelings towards you that were slowly dying. She refused to believe that, but on the other hand, she wanted to." Kagome looked up to the moon. Inuyasha had soaked in all of the information that took him the whole day just to sort out, but Kagome knew a lot more. He looked into the water and understood what Kagome was saying.

"I was so hurt when Kikyo had told me to shut up and the look she gave me." Kagome looked down with saddened eyes as Inuyasha listened. "I thought that she hated me because the two of you lost that connection, but my thoughts were wrong. One thing I do know, Inuyasha, is that the feelings were lost because of me."

Inuyasha turned to see Kagome so sad and he felt the need to reassure her. "No, Kagome. That's not true." She looked at him with watery eyes. "Of course it's true. You two were fine until you started to feel something for me." Kagome gasped and blushed, realizing what she said, she quickly turned away and stood up, feeling the need to just run away from him. 'I'm such an idiot. Why did I have to say that? I don't even know if that's true.'

Inuyasha was still sitting, staring at the spot where Kagome once sat. He started to understand that Kagome thought that all of this was because of her. Yet, the truth was, it was because her. Kagome couldn't take the silence any longer, so she threw the rose on the ground and walked away from him, hoping to get home. Kagome was so overcome with thoughts and emotions and didn't feel like being yelled at from Inuyasha because it was her fault that the two broke up. The dam had broken as a tear slid down her cheek and flew off as she walked against the wind.

However, Kagome felt a hand grab her arm and she was immediately pulled back into Inuyasha's chest with his powerful arms around her petite body. Kagome was shocked at the whole movement and stood in his embrace with her hands on his chest. She felt Inuyasha tighten his hold on her and she could feel his heart beating with her hands on his chest. Inuyasha laid his cheek on her head and inhaled her scent.

"It is because of you, Kagome, that we broke up." Inuyasha said, catching Kagome's attention at the words he just told her. It was her fault. Now she wanted to leave as more tears made its way down her skin, onto Inuyasha's shirt. 'Why is he doing this?' she thought, trying to free herself as she pushed against him but he wouldn't let his hold of her loosen.

"It's because of you that I'm not with Kikyo," he said. Kagome stopped her struggling against him, as it was futile. She didn't understand why he was doing this to her but all she could do was stay there and listen to every word he had to say and try her hardest not to let him see her cry anymore. "It's because of you that I don't have feelings for her anymore." Inuyasha stroked Kagome's hair as she took in all the words he had to say. Kagome just couldn't take it anymore, though, as tears fell even more as her heart began to break. "And it's because of you, that I found who I really have feelings for." Kagome sniffed and Inuyasha held onto her shoulders as he pushed her back and looked into her eyes. Inuyasha was hurt to see Kagome in such a state but she doesn't know the whole truth yet.

Kagome looked at him, with her glassy eyes, and wondered what he meant. Inuyasha smiled. "It's you Kagome." Kagome's eyes widened and her heart stopped. 'Did he just say me?' Kagome had one hand on her chest and one on his, trying to put together what he was saying. However, Inuyasha had grabbed her chin with his index finger and moved her face up to see Inuyasha's smile, right in front of her eyes. He looked mesmerized at her as he moved closer to her, trying to bring them closer. Kagome became mesmerized as well, looking up at him with the moon shining down, giving his hair a glow that shined like the moon.

Stars twinkled, the moon beamed and the trees danced with the wind when the two had connected. Immediately, Kagome's mind had exploded at the touch of Inuyasha's lips on hers. It was so soft and smooth. Inuyasha was kissing her with such tenderness that it made her melt in his embrace. However, Inuyasha had his arms around her and pulled her body against his, feeling the heat radiate between the two. Inuyasha felt like his mind was swirling at the closeness of Kagome. 'Her scent…it's intoxicating…' He put one hand on her neck and put a little more pressure on the kiss, wanting to feel Kagome closer to him. Kagome had his shirt in a death grip with both hands as she felt Inuyasha deepen the kiss. It made her mind swirl, and soon, Kagome lost all thought. All she could feel was Inuyasha's lips, and that was all she needed. However, they soon began to need air.

Inuyasha slowly removed his pulsing lips from Kagome's; he could feel himself want more of her. Inuyasha opened his eyes to see Kagome with her lips parted, trying to take the much-needed oxygen but also trying to regain control of her body. Kagome's eyes fluttered open and was met with the golden eyes of the hanyou holding her. They dug into each other's eyes, trying to search each other's soul for the questions that were running through their minds and hearts.

Kagome regained her body as she could support her own weight without Inuyasha's help. She lessened her hold on his shirt and Inuyasha lessened his hold on her body. Yet, the two didn't leave the other's gaze, becoming more enchanted by the minute. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome's flushed face and realized that she was even more beautiful than Kikyo and his feelings for her became even stronger. His desire to make her his boiled beneath him.

Kagome, however, saw that he was about to talk so she put her finger on his lips, suddenly feeling the desire to touch them again. Yet, she kept her mind on track, as she needed to find out something before he began to talk.

Kagome removed her finger from his lips as he gave her a cute, lost expression. She giggled, "I need to know something Inuyasha," suddenly becoming serious. She put her hand on his chest and took a deep breath, looking up into his beautiful eyes, hoping that she would get the answer she craved. "Do you like me?" she asked quietly.

Inuyasha's eyes twitched at the question. He was just about to tell her his feelings for her but she caught him before he could even try. Inuyasha smiled at Kagome's hopeful eyes. "I like you, Kagome." he confessed without a stutter, without a hesitation and Kagome knew that he wasn't lying. His words meant everything to her as her eyes lit up and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "Kagome, will you…" Inuyasha was stopped as he became aware of Kagome throwing her hands over his neck and hugging him for all it was worth. He could feel her breast firmly pressed against him, since her hands were up, and he suddenly became very hot and very flushed. Kagome put her head in the crook of his neck as a tear ran down her cheek.

"Oh, Inuyasha. I was hoping that you would say that," she said, chuckling at the growling that soon vibrated into her body. Inuyasha enclosed her in his embrace, once again, and pressed her body closer to his.

The two stayed that way, swaying in the wind's presence, for a moment in time. Both lost in each other's arms that they didn't want to leave, but they knew that the adults would become worried since the two haven't been seen ever since this morning. Inuyasha reluctantly loosened his hold on Kagome as she let go of his neck and brought her hands back down to his chest. She smiled lovingly at him, radiating with happiness. Inuyasha was content to know that she was happy and that she was his.

"We should go inside. Your parents must be worried," Kagome said.

Inuyasha nodded. "I guess. Although I don't want to go. I'm fine right where I am."

Kagome giggled at his forwardness but left his warm embrace. She fought the urge to run into his arms again as she grabbed his hand and tangled her fingers with his. She turned around to smile at him and they both started walking towards the entrance. To them, they had just confessed their feelings for one another and now return to reality as they leave the enchanting, glowing garden. To spectators, they look like a couple who just confessed their love for one another and said their vows as they walked down the aisle, hand in hand, confident of a new life together.

-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-

That night, under the starry sky with the moon's blessing, we had become a soul, both connected with one another. It was as if we had made a promise to each other, like any couple would when they begin to go out. We promised to be there for one another and be their guidance and support, but also, to be their love.

My emotions swirled within me and I had realized the truth, through it all. So did he. We both understood the reason why everything happened the way they did. We just weren't ready for it and if we were, we probably would not have accepted it. But, as we both understood the depth and realized that we both felt the same, he and I made a bond. I had seen the truth within his eyes. I had felt the desire within his arms. I had felt the love within his kiss.

Accepting something that should not be accepted, now that was something that came by easy for me. Although, most people did it often as they want to feel that happiness that they crave. I did that too much. I had accepted my feelings for him and his feelings for me. Although, my mother had told me not to, I did it anyways. I did it because I wanted to, because I could not hold myself back and I could not stop those emotions. However, for every action there is a consequence and sometimes, things are not meant to be accepted.

Well that was good, huh? I hope that you enjoyed that one, because I did making it.But I tried to hurry and put that one on so I'll try and get the next one up asap, although with school starting, it might set me back a day or two. But that's not going to stop me, believe me. Well hope you liked it!
