Sorry for wait again! I'm sick so I didn't feel like doing anything for the past week.


Chapter 28

Kagome's P.O.V.

We got to San's place and decided to spend the night. Yes, all of us under one roof. I guess we were in a partying mood tonight. And who wouldn't? After getting weapons to help us get stronger, all of us were pretty giddy.

Inuyasha and I were walking to my house to get my pyjamas. I had already called my mom ahead of time and she, like always, had no problems with it. But you should've seen how nervous I was. Sango had insisted that she would drive me home and back but to all our surprises, Inuyasha was the one who had objected strongly and had dragged me out of the house by the hand.

We walked side-by-side n silence after he shut Sango's front door. Not knowing where to look, I pretended I was alone and kept my head slightly in front of my feet. Other than the sound of crickets and the occasional passing car, there wasn't anything that filled the silence than the sounds of our feet.

My heart was pounding. It's been a while since Inuyasha and I were alone like this and after all the excitement that's been going on these past few days, this sudden loneliness was suffocating. I took a quick glance from the corner of my eye over to him.

Only to find him looking back at me.

Startled and embarrassed out of my mind, I flinched back to my stare at the ground. What was on that guy's mind?! Panicking, I struggled to keep my heart from jumping out of my mouth.

"Kagome?"

His voice made my heart pop out of my mouth. Swallowing it back down, I responded.

"Yeah?"

After some silence, Inuyasha asked in his stuttering voice, "E-Even after all that's happened…would you…well, what I mean to say is that…well, now that we're alone and all…"

I glanced over to see him scratching the back of his head and his eyes wee focused on the ground. I heard him mumble something to himself.

"What?" I asked timidly, unsure it was directed towards me.

"Well…I haven't asked you to be my girlfriend again…that is, after we sort of broke up. So…would you consider being mine again?"

I stopped in my tracks. Inuyasha walked a few more steps before realising I had stopped and turned back to look at me.

I sniffled and smiled at his scared face. "I was always yours."

Before he could smile, I ran to embrace him, crying from happiness. I felt his arms pull me closer as he recovered; burying his face in my hair. I inhale his scent and relished it. I was about to part when he pulled me into a warm kiss. In heaven, I kissed back filled to the brim with love. Even when we parted, I could still feel the warmth of his lips on mine.

I saw him blushing fiercely. "I love you, Kags."

Giggling, I said, "I love you too, Inu."

I pulled out the beads Kaede had given me from my pocket. "Here, wear these as a present from me." He let me put them over his head.

Smiling a somewhat confused smile, he said, "Thanks. But what for?"

But I was too busy trying to think of a word to bind his soul. Hmm, what word though. I eyed Inuyasha's ears.

Maybe heel…naw.

I know!

"Sit!" I yelled.

Suddnely, the beads glowed and pulled Inuyasha to the cement with a giant crash.

When he pulled his face from out of the sidewalk he yelled, "Hey wench! What the hell are these?!"

I giggled at his outburst. "I just want to make sure you can't run off."

"Keh, what reason would I have to run?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Don't know."

He tried to pull them off, but to no avail. "Take em off then!"

"Nope."

"Take them off!"

"No! Sit!"

His face met the ground once again.

He pulled his face up again and boy did he look pissed. "Kagome! Why do I need these?!"

I giggled at his pouty face and walked past him, not giving him any more chances to complain.

"I'm back!" I called out when I opened my front door.

My mom popped up from inside the kitchen. "Oh hi, Kagome! Could you bring Sota with you as well? You know how he loves to play with Kohaku and it's been a while since they've meet."

"Alright, sure." I went upstairs. "But he better behave!" On my way there, I passed my grandpa.

He took out his sacred sutras and suddenly yelled, "Demon be gone!" He was looking behind me where Inuyasha was standing.

"Grandpa, it's just Inuyasha," I sighed.

He stopped but still glared at him "Oh alright. It seems that he's the only one that isn't affected by my sutras." Then he walked down the steps like nothing had happened.

"Does he honestly think those things work on me?" Inuyasha asked.

I sighed. "Yes, Inu, he does."

"So he isn't aware that his sutras don't work on anyone?"

"Nope."

I got to Sota's room and knocked. "Sota, I'm coming in!"

He was on the bed writing what looked like a letter. He jolted the minute I came in and stuffed it under his covers. His face was slightly pink for some reason.

"Hey Sota. You wanna spend the night at Kohaku's?" When he didn't reply I asked, "Something wrong?"

He looked away, embarrassed. "Kagome, what do I write?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

He started explaining to Inuyasha and I about how he really liked a girl at school and wanted to tell her how he felt. But he was having a lot of trouble in how to explain.

"Oh my god! You like a girl?!" I squealed in excitement.

"Kagome!" my brother wined in annoyance.

"Sorry, sorry. Can I help it that I'm proud of my little brother for growing up and having his first crush?"

"You can help me write this letter!" he fumed.

"Alright, alright! Ok, when we get to Sango's, we can all help you."

"No!" my brother cried out. "It's too embarrassing!"

"Oh c'mon! That way, more people will be helping you!" Inuyasha looked at me like I was crazy but I just scowled back.

Souta looked terrified but in the end, with me and my wonderful persuading skills, I finally got him to agree.

"Great! Get packed and we'll go!" I walked out to get the clothes in my room. I told Inuyasha to stay and he just shrugged.


Inuyasha's P.O.V.

I watched Kagome walk away to get her clothes. Let me tell you, I missed her already.

"Inuyasha, how did you get Kagome to like you?" Souta suddenly asked.

I looked at him, embarrassed. "Kid, that's not your business."

"Please? Can't you just tell me?"

"Keh," I scoffed, feeling superior. "I acted like a man and gathered my courage. Then I asked her out."

"You mean you just asked?"

"Yeah."

Souta pouted. "I wish I can be like you, Inuyasha."

I grinned and patted his shoulder. "Sorry, pal. There's only one Inuyasha on this whole planet."

"Inuyasha, are you feeding my brother lies?" Kagome suddenly reappeared.

I started. "N-No…"

Glaring at me, Kagome shifted her bag onto her shoulder. "Souta, you ready?"

"Give me a second," he said.

Kagome turned to me. "What were you two talking about?"

I grinned and put an arm around her. "I was just telling him how awesome your boyfriend is."

Kagome scoffed and giggled. "Yeah, right."

I smirked before giving my girlfriend a kiss on her soft cheek.
