November 17

I'm so happy and relieved that Inuyasha is home.

As soon as I heard him come through the door last night, I ran out of our bedroom and my heart was filled with so much joy when I saw him.

"Inuyasha!" I exclaimed as I ran over to him and jumped into his arms.

"Kagome!" he said happily as he twirled me around. Then he took my face in his hands and kissed me over and over.

"Where have you been?" I said as a few tears slid from my eyes. "I've been worried sick."

"I know, sweetheart. I'm so sorry I'm late," he said.

He wiped my tears away and kissed me again then we sat down on the couch. He held me in his arms while I rested my head on his shoulder taking in his warmth and his scent. I felt so happy now that he was home safely.

"So what happened, Yasha?" I asked.

"Well, we went to the village and got rid of the demon that's been terrorizing them. It was ridiculously easy to kill, they could have gotten rid of it themselves if they really wanted to."

I giggled a bit at that.

"But we stayed the night there and we should have been home on time but there was another village on the way back that was being attacked. It was really bad so we couldn't just leave them helpless. I don't know what would have happened to them if we hadn't stepped in. Then we tried heading home again but there was a really bad storm and that held us up even more."

"Wow, a lot happened while you were gone. I'm glad you're back and you're okay."

"I've been so worried about you the whole time, Kagome. How are you feeling?"

"I feel a little better now. I felt awful yesterday and this morning but it seems to be going away."

He hugged me tightly and kissed me again. "Damn it, woman. I've been so worried about you, I didn't know what to expect when I came back. I'm just glad you're feeling better."

"You must be hungry. I can make you dinner."

"Nonsense. You sit here and rest. I'll make dinner myself." Before he could get up, I held his hand again. "Yasha?"

"Yes, honey?"

"I love you."

A smile touched his face. "I love you too, Kagome."

I still felt weak throughout the day today. Inuyasha has been extremely attentive with taking care of me. He even made the nasty medicine that his mother used to make. I feel bad for worrying him so much but I'm glad he's here to take care of me. I feel like I can finally relax now that he's here.
