Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha..despite the little voice in my head that
tells me it does..
Chapter 10:
"Kagome-chan? How are you feeling?"
"Much better." She was sitting up now with a downcast face. 'I hope he'll come back. I hope he'll understand the situation.
"Kagome-chan..I have a personal question to ask about a certain hanyou." Kagome looked up at her blushing friend.
"Nani, Sango-chan?"
"How 'involved' are you and Inuyasha now? Has he.ano confessed.his love?" Kagome smiled, remembering her good memories with him.
"Ano..he has said he loves me.and we've kissed. If that's what you wanted to know?" Sango nodded. "I've kinda slept with him too."
"NANI!!!!!!!????"
"It's not what you think..when he was sick this last time he asked for me to sleep beside him for warmth." Sango let out a long sigh. Kagome giggled at her friend's reaction.
"Is that all?"
"Well..I have given him a couple baths. He tends to smell.like a dog when he hasn't bathed in awhile." Sango smirked. "Go figure.he insists I do it for him.even though he knows how." Sango was laughing now.
"He sounds like a baby."
"In my world he is because there are so many different things." Suddenly, the door swung open and in the sunlight a familiar silhouette stood.
"Kagome!"
"Inuyasha..gomen."
"I'm the one who's supposed to say that."
"I think I'll leave now." Sango winked at Kagome. Inuyasha came and sat beside her holding her hand.
"Your hand is so cold." He said as he rubbed it in his hands. She smiled warmly up at him. "Why do you smile for me when I've caused so much pain. I didn't trust or listen to you, yet you still smile for me."
"You haven't realized that?" He shook his head. "It's because I love you. It's unconditional you could say. Plus this has taught you a lesson."
"Nani?"
"Now you know how I felt when I saw you with Kikyo." He cast his eyes down.
"So, that's how it feels, eh? I can't forgive myself now.I can't-"
"Shhh.It's okay. I don't care anymore.I have you now. Nothing matters anymore." He took his hands and placed them on her cheeks, kissing her softly. Kagome had done the same and then they pulled away from each other. Kagome felt something warm on her hand and she noticed blood.
"Oh, you're bleeding. Here." She pulled out a band-aid from her pocket and placed it on his cheek. "There." She smiled.
"Arigato. I just wish I could have protected you..from him."
"Yeah really! I was almost raped by that baboon.ewww!" Inuyasha chuckled a tad, "That wasn't a joke! I was violated by a monkey!" He was all out laughing now. "Osuwari!" She had forgotten how close they were. "Owww! Itai!!!" She looked down at her chest. "Ano..Inuyasha." His face was buried in her bosom. He quickly got up; his face flushed, probably redder than she had ever seen it. She was trying hard no to laugh. That hurt though; she realized the force that the necklace brought down on him.
"Uhhhh..gomen.is everything okay? Did I hurt you in any ummm way? You know what I mean, ne?" He laughed nervously.
"Well yeah..it hurt, demo I'm fine now. Now I have a question for you." He looked at her and blinked his eyes. "What happened between you and Kouga-kun?" I hope you didn't hurt him."
"Keh! That wimpy wolf you know him. I made my accusations and went after him." She made a displeased face.
"You were gonna kill him weren't you?" His guilty pouting face said it all. "And I bet you didn't let him explain himself. It's scary that I know you this well, ne?"
"Hai, it's rather creepy if you ask me." She tugged on his ear and he grunted.
"So, what happened then?"
"Then the bouzu showed up. He told me the truth, demo I didn't fully believe him. What really pissed me off though was that Kagura showed up."
"She did?"
"She confirmed all of Miroku's words. She left in a huff after I called her a man."
"You called her a man?" Kagome said raising her eye brow.
"I've kept you up way to long as it is. You need some more rest." Kagome didn't resist; she let him tuck her in. He kissed her forehead and quietly left the shack. 'Thank you Inuyasha for understanding, for coming back to me. Thank you my friends for comforting me as well. I'm so fortunate.' She thought as she drifted back to sleep.
