Resurrection

By Megumi-chan

Chapter 13

Love Resurrected

***

Inuyasha sat by himself when he and Inu had returned. He knew he had to tell Kagome he liked her, and he was meaning to do so... after the entire Kikyo thing blew over. But hearing Inu's version of the story of his life for the rest of his life, he realized he needed to do that.

"Kagome," Inuyasha heard Inu say to Kidome, "Let's go. We can't stay here long."

"Hai. Ja ne, Miroku-sama, Sango-chan, Kagome-chan," Kidome said, hugging each. "I won't forget you all."

"We won't either," Kagome said. She smiled at Kidome. "Is Houjou still there?"

"There is a Hojo there, but... he's..." Kidome said.

"So BORING!" Kagome ended. The two laughed, and hugged again.

"C'mon, we gotta go," Inu said, and pulled Kidome towards the Bone-Eater's Well. Inuyasha sighed.

"Finally. I was wondering when they'd leave."

"You jerk! Kagome was nice!" Kagome said. Shippou, who had been in Kidome's lap, nodded.

"She was pretty, too! Just as pretty as Kagome-chan!" Shippou piped up. Inuyasha growled.

"C'mon, wench. I hafta tell ya somethin'."

"If you want to tell me something, you can tell me now," Kagome said.

"I SAID, COME ON."

"And I said, say it here."

She was about to say more, until she felt herself being pulled into Inuyasha's arms, and taken deep into the forest.

"Should we go after them? You know, to keep Kagome safe?" Sango said.

"Of course... koishii," Miroku said, the last word barely a whisper.

"What did you just call me?" Sango asked.

"Oh... nothing..."

Kagome leapt from Inuyasha's arms the moment he dropped to the ground. She brushed off her school uniform, and stretched. //How can he be comfortable flying like that?!// she wondered, as she watched him sit down, normally. It made her suspicious.

"Sit down. I have to tell you something," Inuyasha said. His bangs covered his golden eyes. Kagome sat down next to him, her eyes narrow.

"Well, tell me," Kagome said, impatiently.

"That Inuyasha guy told me what happens during the battle. To prove that we're not surprised. But then he said... he said..." Inuyasha stopped.

"He said what?" Kagome asked. But Inuyasha didn't answer. He bit his lower lip. Then leaned over in front of Kagome. "That you killed me?"

"No. That Naraku killed you before..."

"Before what? What aren't you telling--" Kagome stopped, as Inuyasha kissed her. It was supposed to be a quick kiss, but Inuyasha wasn't expecting her to respond.

After they broke apart, due to the lack of air, she pulled him back to kiss him again. As she kissed him, she pet his ears. She heard him start purring.

"I didn't know you purred," Kagome said, taking her lips from his for a minute.

"Only when I'm in perfect peace," Inuyasha answered.

"I love you, Inuyasha."

"I love you too, Kagome."

"But... what about Kikyo?" Kagome asked. "Didn't you love her, too?"

"Of course I did. But... I love you more." Inuyasha answered, before taking her lips again. This time, he lowered his lips to kiss her neck. But he stopped when he reached her bared collarbone.

"Kagome... I... want you to be my mate..." Inuyasha looked up, and met her eyes. "Will you?"

"Of course I will," Kagome answered. Inuyasha kissed her again, and moved his lips to the back of her neck. He suddenly whispered, "Don't be scared. I have to put a mark on your neck saying you're mine." Kagome pulled her long raven hair away, and immediately felt the fluttery feel of Inuyasha's lips on her neck.

Kagome felt a slight pain on her neck, then a feeling of power going through to her fingertips. She felt Inuyasha's tongue on her neck, and then he kissed her on her lips again. She felt his tongue move around her mouth.

"Mine." Inuyasha said, taking his lips away for a minute.

A/n: Okay, that was the closest to a lime I've ever written. Seriously. I'm too embarrassed to write it, I guess. I can read one perfectly, but writing one... nah... anyway, look forward to chapter 14 by Saturday!! Ja ne!
