AN: well, this chapter is kinda lemony. With a little bit of romance. Ok, I lie, a LOT of romance. I'm such a sap for this kinda crud. Especially with Inuyasha! Disclaimer: still don't own Inuyasha. Think I could buy him off of Ebay? Warnings: still none, but I might have to spice things up in the next chapter.

Chapter 2: Confessions

Inuyasha sat on a tree branch above a stream and looked at the moon. It was full, and bright. The sky was clear and full of stars. The air smelled of rain and of water. Everything stood still and nothing stirred. Inuyasha flicked an ear back as he listened behind him. He thought he had heard something, but he guessed it was just him. Then he heard it again. He looked behind him to see Kagome walking toward the tree in which Inuyasha sat. He was sure she couldn't see him, because he sat so high and in the shadows. Kagome sat under the tree and sighed. She was tired, yet she couldn't sleep. Signs that a demon was near. She had been edgy the last few days, able to sense him, yet he wouldn't show himself. She leaned against the tree and felt the presence of another emediantly. She smiled and closed her eyes. "Nice try Inuyasha, but I know your there." The half demon dropped on cue to the ground next to Kagome. "When did you get these weird powers?" he mumbled under his breath. Kagome opened her eyes and looked at the moon. Good question. When had she gotten them? She had always been able to sense a Jewel shard and see it, yet she had only recently been able to sense demons. She shook her head. "If only I knew Inuyasha, id tell you." The demon put his arm around her shoulder and squeezed it hard. She was troubled. He could smell it. She leaned against him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Inuyasha, am I making a mistake?" The demon looked at her with confusion. Kagome raised her head and looked at him. "Kikyo weakened because she fell in love. She lost her powers and became less aware of others movements. Because of this and the trust she withheld in you, she was wounded because of a single desire. She betrayed you and later parished." Kagome's eyes were now filling with tears. Inuyasha stared at her with disbelief. "Inuyasha, I'm I making that same fatal mistake?" Tears leaked from her eyes as she stared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha couldn't believe what he had just heard. She had just said she loved him. That was more than she had said in her whole relationship with him. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. She buried her head in his chest and cried. Softly Inuyasha stroked her hair, comforting her. "Kagome, you're the strongest person I know. Kikyo was weak with her love because she wanted so desperately to live the life of a normal woman. You've already lived that, so you have no desperate need as for that. You can concentrate on what your doing. That's what makes you stronger than Kikyo." Tears stung at Inuyasha's own eyes as he thought about Kikyo. Kagome still sobbed into Inuyasha's chest. "I-Inuyasha, you don't g-get it. I do h-have a desperate desire. I want, I w-want to be with you f-forever!"

Inuyasha hugged Kagome even closer. He buried his head into her hair next to her ear. "Please Kagome, stop crying. I can promise you that I will always watch you, and that I will always love you, but I don't think id be able to live with you forever. I don't wish to become human anymore. I wish to become a full demon, so I may take over my father's territory. But I will always love you more than I can imagine." What was he saying? He loved this woman so much, yet he couldn't live with her till death. But the more he thought about it, the more the thought of death scared him. Kagome raised her head. She gave him a confused look. How could he say that if he loved her so much? Suddenly she found herself drawing closer to Inuyasha. She closed her eyes as their lips touched lightly. She drew away quickly and looked at Inuyasha again. "How could you say such a thing if you truly love me? How could you say you love me, yet you cant live with me?" Kagome stood and brushed the debris from her kimono, then stormed off towards the village, leaving Inuyasha sitting next to the river.
