Chapter 5 - Inuyasha's Dream
"Ahhhhh! Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she fell towards the ground at a speed that surely defied gravity.
"I'm coming Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he saw her fall from Kirara. Sango had let her fly around on Kirara to relax. And now she somehow she had fallen off of Kirara and was plummeting to the ground! He leaped and tried to catch her before she hit the ground. But he missed her by just an inch. She kept on falling and Inuyasha didn't have time to try again before she hit the ground. It was amazing the sound it made, and they way his hearing was it only sounded more grotesque. But thankfully he also didn't hear the sound of bones breaking. Which he was sure that if any had he would have heard the noise. Then the moan that she let out, just before she lost all consciousness, made is heart tear in half.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he landed at her side. "Awwww, Kagome, answer me." he pleaded about to cry. This was very unusual. Demons never cried, but he wasn't demon, only half, and Sesshomaru never let him forget it. Miroku and Sango heard both yells and hurried out of the hut. Kaede was trying hard to keep up.
"What happened, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked as his eyes fell upon Kagome's limp, almost lifeless body in the hanyou's arms. Her shoulder was damp from his tears.
"Inuyasha? Are ye crying?" Kaede asked, surprised. She never thought that the day would come when she would see him shed a tear, but then since it was over Kagome..
Inuyasha didn't answer, he couldn't. The words wouldn't rise to his lips, only sobs and the tears that passed by on their way down to Kagome's shoulder where he had his face buried in.
"Inuyasha, what happened to Kagome?" Sango asked, her voice rising slightly in concern for her friend. "The only way for us to help her is if you tell us what happened."
"I-I can't!" He said as he gingerly laid her down and then took off. He flew off into the distance, heading towards the forest. Inuyasha knew that no one could catch up to him if the followed him and the others knew this and probably figured it best if they let him be. Inuyasha never was the type to bear his true feelings but some how Kagome usually seemed to always see through his mask and into his heart, into what he was really feeling and thinking. Kikyo did that sometimes, it creeped him out when Kikyo did it, but strangely- not when Kagome did. Maybe it was because Kikyo did it to put fear in his heart, and Kagome did it to comfort him.
Kagome, I need you now! I need you to look into my heart, tell me what I am feeling. Help me through this. Oh please wake up! I don't know what I would do without you! You have changed me so much from when we first met, Kikyo never could have done this. If this had happened to her, I wouldn't feel as bad. I mean, she died, I didn't care all that much, but you- you're hurt and I feel like I'm going to die.
"I love you Kagome." And with those last thoughts he said he last one, declaring his love for the young woman, aloud. "And I'll do anything to help you get better." And with that he jumped out of the tree and ran back towards Kaede's hut.
"Ahh, Inuyasha, it is a surprise to see ye back here so soon." Kaede commented as Inuyasha walked into the hut and towards the room where Kagome was lying.
"Aw, Shut up you old woman" Inuyasha said, immediately regretting it. He was trying o change for Kagome and he knew she didn't like it when he didn't respect his elders. "I meant to say was how's Kagome coming along?"
"So ye are worried about her?" Kaede asked, for she didn't really know what was wrong with Kagome, just that she wouldn't wake up.
"Yeah, of course I care!" Inuyasha said it was appalling that after all this time these people couldn't get a clue. "How else are we going to finish collecting the Jewel shards?" As soon as those last words left his mouth he felt like he should be 'sitted' a hundred times.
"If that is all ye cares about Inuyasha, then ye should leave. Kagome doesn't need the bad vibes around her while she is trying to heal."
"Naw, I'm staying right here." Inuyasha said as he pointed to the floor and sat down on the other side of Kagome. Then silently and quickly while hoping no one would notice, he took her hand in his and intertwined their fingers. Kaede did notice and smiled to Sango and tried to get her attention without the hanyou noticing. When she did she showed her and they exchanged smiles as they watched Inuyasha stare at Kagome's face, as if he was try to memorize ever detail. Miroku took this as a cue to leave. As Sango saw him get to leave she went with him.
"Ye have grown fond of Kagome, Inuyasha?" Kaede asked, curious why he had decided to stay.
"No! Well- I-yeah I guess." He mumbled indignantly.
"What's that ye said? I couldn't quite hear-" Kaede was trying Inuyasha's honesty.
"I said that I do care about her thank you very much! And if you got a problem-" Inuyasha said just before he was about to pull the Tetsaiga to prove his point, Kaede cut him off.
"I was only teasing ye," Kaede said gently as she left room and let him be alone with Kagome. Inuyasha then leaned down and looked over every inch of Kagome to what exactly was wrong with her. All that he could see what that she was sleeping, and had been for a long time as if she would never wake up again.
" Aw, I don't got time for this. I need her to get better." With these thoughts said aloud he got up and was about to leave when the room when he thought he heard Kagome.
" Inu- Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered, barely audible, he would have not heard if were not for his keen demon senses.
"Yes, Kagome?" Inuyasha was at her side in an instant.
"Do you really care for me?" she asked him.
"Of course I do. I wouldn't be here if I didn't!" Inuyasha said while looking deeply, lovingly into her sparkling brown eyes. "I- I love you, Kagome."
Kagome gasped. She wasn't she how she felt towards him. I know that I certainly like him as a boyfriend but love him? I don't know.
She didn't have much time to think it over because then Inuyasha leaned down and surprised her with a soft kiss on her cheek, then another one just as swift and soft on her lips. Her skin burned where his gentle lips touched them. Kagome slid a stealthy hand up and around his neck, pulling him down for one last long, passionate kiss. Inuyasha pulled away after a few minutes, almost running out of air. After kissing him Kagome knew that she loved Inuyasha.
"Kagome." Inuyasha breathed as they gazed into each other's eyes.
"Inuyasha, I love you too." Kagome broke the silence with that bold statement that also broke Miroku's heart (because he had told her that he loved her before she went on her ride on Kirara). With this he realized that his heart wasn't really broken, just misguided for a while. Seeing their boldness he decided to finally tell Sango he loved her.
"Sango? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Miroku asked Sango as he headed back towards the kitchen.
"Yeah, what's on your mind houshi-sama?" Sango asked as she settled onto the couch next to Miroku, intertwining their fingers.
"I was just watching Inuyasha and Kagome in there and-" Miroku started before Sango started to ask about her friend's condition.
"Kagome? Is she awake now?" Sango asked, she didn't mean to interrupt Miroku but she had been so worried that Kagome might not pull through or something bad would be wrong with her best friend.
"Yeah, she awake but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about," There was some kind of urgency in his voice that she couldn't detect. Sensing that with the tone of voice he was using, it probably wasn't something that he wanted to wait.
"Well, ok. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Sango, have you ever wanted to tell some one something so bad but you never found the courage to do it for fear of what might happen next?" He asked this with hesitancy, she was a bright girl, and she probably knew what he talking about. And well, he was right. She had been waiting for this a long time. Sango knew that she never would have the courage or the words to say how she felt so she had to wait for him to say something. This wasn't a problem with Sango though; she had patience and was able to wait.
"Oh, yes I think that you should always tell some one how you feel. Because if you don't they may just slip through your fingers." Saying this made Sango think about what Inuyasha and Kagome were doing in the other room, if maybe Miroku should tell Inuyasha to tell Kagome how he feels for her.. Unless, unless he is doing that right now! And Miroku saw and got the idea- was it possible? Was Miroku finally going to tell her he loved her?
"Ok, well, then, I wanted to tell you-" He faltered here. Miroku didn't know if he had the courage to tell her. He knew she felt the same way by the way she was leaning in earnest to see what he was about to say next. "I- I wanted to tell you ."
"Yes, Miroku?"
"I love you!" Miroku practically yelled it although Sango's face was inches from his own. She reacted similar to Kagome.
"Miroku." She said before snaking her hand around Miroku's neck and pulled him closer to her and planting a kiss on his lips as soft as a butterfly landing on one's finger. Miroku pulled away and studied her face for a moment to see whether she wanted more but didn't get a chance to finish deciding when she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a warm embrace. He kissed her cheek and just sat there holding her in his arms, very content with their current position. Just then Inuyasha walked through the doorway with Kagome in his arms.
"Ahh, I see that we aren't the only ones who confessed our feelings today Kagome," Inuyasha commented as his eyes fell upon the other couple. They pulled apart slowly and Miroku gave Inuyasha a sly glance.
Inuyasha stayed up late that night, sitting up on his futon. He was thinking over the day's events. Do I really care for her that way? Did I mean what I told her? As these thoughts ran through Inuyasha's mind, he let his eyes wander around the room, only to rest on Kagome's sleeping face. How can she look so much Kikyo yet at times completely different? I know that they have hardly ever acted the same. Yet I don't whom I care more for. If I were to be with her I would have to let go of Kikyo. I don't know that I can. Yet if I really, truly loved Kagome I could. I know that I love Kagome but what I don't know is if I'm over Kikyo. I don't think that I would be this upset if this whole thing had happened to Kikyo.
Kagome awoke because she sensed that some one was staring at her. Even in her condition she still had her sixth sense abilities. To her surprise it was Inuyasha. He must not have realized that she awoken for he still had his gaze set on her face. He must be deep in thought is he's staring into my eyes with a gaze like and not care. Or maybe.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked softly, he didn't want to wake her if she really was asleep and his eyes were playing tricks on him. "Are you awake?"
"Yes," Kagome replied as she tried to raise herself up to a sitting position.
"Here, let me help you that." He said as he swiftly leapt across the room to her side. "You know that you really shouldn't be sitting up."
"I know but no body will know." Kagome said she finally got into an upright position and fixed her eyes on Inuyasha's. "So, what were you doing staring at me like that?"
"Huh? I wasn't staring at you."
"Yes you were Inuyasha. And you had a funny look on your face." Inuyasha blushed. So she had caught him, now what was a good excuse that she would believe?
"Uhhh. well, I couldn't sleep and so I stayed up thinking about stuff. And besides, I don't see how it's any of your business anyway!" Inuyasha all but yelled.
"Inuyasha! Keep your voice down! The others are still sleeping!" Kagome whispered harshly as she reprimanded the half demon like he was some child.
"What?! Me?" he huffed, this was so not fair!
"You were thinking about Kikyo weren't you?" She asked softly with her head down, her gaze focused on her pillow. She was so absorbed in picking at a little tuft of fluff that hung out of her pillow that she didn't see Inuyasha's facial reaction to her accusation.
"Why do you always think that I am thinking about Kikyo?" This was making him mad. She always did this to him. Then since it was usually about her or both of them he would turn defensive making her tear up. Not wanting this to happen he grabbed her hand that was messing with the fluff.
"So you were-" Kagome started before she realized that he had grabbed her hand and was beginning to interlace their fingers.
"I was, but not the way you think I was." He drifted off to look up and see what her face looked like. "I was think about how I don't love her anymore." The past part he said was so barely audible that Kagome thought that she had heard him wrong.
"You- you don't love her anymore?" She asked slightly confused, if he didn't love Kikyo then whom did he love? It couldn't be, could it? Kagome? That meant he had to have meant the stuff he said that afternoon and wasn't caught up in the moment.
"I love you." He leaned in and whispered so softly again into her ear. Kagome gasped. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, even though she already had been told this earlier.
"You do?" She asked him. Hoping his answer was the one she wanted.
"Of course! Why do you think I'm here telling you that? Don't you remember what happened this afternoon?" This made her laugh before his mouth smothered her giggle, pressed against hers in a light intimate kiss. She slowly let herself melt into it while wrapping her arms gently around his neck.
Inuyasha didn't know what he was doing. One minute he was declaring his love to Kagome, the next he was running his hands up her back. He let one stay own and holding her protectively on her lower back whole the other combed her silky hair. What ever he was doing, he liked it. The feeling that was coursing throughout his was one unlike any other he had ever felt before in his life. Was this what it was like to be kissed by some one you loved? If it was he wanted to do it all the time. The feeling it gave him made Inuyasha forget all his problems.
It also made Kagome feel the same way. She forgot all about being hurt that she tired to shift positions and ended giving a small cry into Inuyasha's mouth. He pulled away to help sit more comfortably. They didn't seem to know how to start back up again because they just kept staring into each other's eyes, waiting for the other to lean in.
"Inuyasha," Kagome breathed. "I love you too!" Forgetting everything she leaned in and kissed him passionately on the lips. The temptation was too much for Inuyasha; he wrapped his arms a little more tightly around Kagome, pulling her closer to him in a tighter embrace. Sensing him do this she gave way into him and let her body melt into the sensations coursing throughout her body.
By then the sun was just peeking through the shades and most of their group was still sleeping when Inuyasha sat up and realized it was all a dream. A very good dream.
What was that supposed to mean? I love Kagome? And Miroku and Sango love each other.? Well I already figured Miroku out. After all he did propose to Sango.And I guess I do love Kagome, should I tell her though? If the dream is right then she feels the same way about me. I think I'll tell her. Inuyasha thought as he moved his gaze from the window to where Kagome was lying peacefully on the floor. Maybe I should wait until she wakes up, but then everyone else will be up. Oh well here goes nothing.
Inuyasha gets up and walks over to where Kagome was sleeping on the futon across the room from him. He looks over her face, studying the lines of her facial features. In her sleep Kagome senses some one watching her and slowly opens one eye. To her surprise it's Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked sleepily, slurring her words together. "What are you doing?"
"Huh? Me?" Inuyasha stuttered, he hadn't expected her to wake up and find him ogling her. "Oh I wanted to talk to you but didn't want to wake you up." he mumbled as his voice trailed off and his eyes fixed on the floorboards of the hut.
"Talk to me? About what?" Kagome asked in between yawns.
"Oh, it was nothing." He said as he got up and turned away.
"Oh," She said softly, lightly. Then Inuyasha whirled around so fast that Kagome gasped. He bent down and grabbed her hands, and looked straight into her eyes. The look that he gave her, and the way his eyes themselves looked, made it seem as if he was looking straight into her soul. She knew that whatever he said next was coming from his soul.
"Kagome, I love you!" Inuyasha blurted out, right then and there he spilled all his feelings to a shocked Kagome. He told her of how she made him feel, how he couldn't stop thinking about her, and all the details of his dream. How he would be so scared for her if what happened to Sango happened to her. A sobbing Kagome sat there in silence as the half demon in front of her spilled his heart out.
"Oh, Inuyasha!" Kagome threw arms around his neck. "I love you too!" She whispered into his ear before dissolving into even more tears.
"Aww, Kagome. What are you crying about now? You know I hate it when you cry!"
"I'm not crying because I'm sad! I'm crying because I'm happy!" With that said through her last few sobs she pulled her face away from his neck. "Oops."
"It's ok," He said as he cupped her soft sweet face in his rough hands and pulled her in for a quick, soft kiss before the others woke up and found them out.
"I love you, Kagome," Inuyasha breathed.
"I love you too Inuyasha," she replied just before Kaede woke up to check and see how Sango was doing.

"Of course! Why do you think I'm here telling you that? Don't you remember what happened this afternoon?" This made her laugh before his mouth smothered her giggle, pressed against hers in a light intimate kiss. She slowly let herself melt into it while wrapping her arms gently around his neck.
Inuyasha didn't know what he was doing. One minute he was declaring his love to Kagome, the next he was running his hands up her back. He let one stay own and holding her protectively on her lower back whole the other combed her silky hair. What ever he was doing, he liked it. The feeling that was coursing throughout his was one unlike any other he had ever felt before in his life. Was this what it was like to be kissed by some one you loved? If it was he wanted to do it all the time. The feeling it gave him made Inuyasha forget all his problems.
It also made Kagome feel the same way. She forgot all about being hurt that she tired to shift positions and ended giving a small cry into Inuyasha's mouth. He pulled away to help sit more comfortably. They didn't seem to know how to start back up again because they just kept staring into each other's eyes, waiting for the other to lean in.
"Inuyasha," Kagome breathed. "I love you too!" Forgetting everything she leaned in and kissed him passionately on the lips. The temptation was too much for Inuyasha; he wrapped his arms a little more tightly around Kagome, pulling her closer to him in a tighter embrace. Sensing him do this she gave way into him and let her body melt into the sensations coursing throughout her body.
By then the sun was just peeking through the shades and most of their group was still sleeping when Inuyasha sat up and realized it was all a dream. A very good dream.
What was that supposed to mean? I love Kagome? And Miroku and Sango love each other.? Well I already figured Miroku out. After all he did propose to Sango.And I guess I do love Kagome, should I tell her though? If the dream is right then she feels the same way about me. I think I'll tell her. Inuyasha thought as he moved his gaze from the window to where Kagome was lying peacefully on the floor. Maybe I should wait until she wakes up, but then everyone else will be up. Oh well here goes nothing.
Inuyasha gets up and walks over to where Kagome was sleeping on the futon across the room from him. He looks over her face, studying the lines of her facial features. In her sleep Kagome senses some one watching her and slowly opens one eye. To her surprise it's Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked sleepily, slurring her words together. "What are you doing?"
"Huh? Me?" Inuyasha stuttered, he hadn't expected her to wake up and find him ogling her. "Oh I wanted to talk to you but didn't want to wake you up." he mumbled as his voice trailed off and his eyes fixed on the floorboards of the hut.
"Talk to me? About what?" Kagome asked in between yawns.
"Oh, it was nothing." He said as he got up and turned away.
"Oh," She said softly, lightly. Then Inuyasha whirled around so fast that Kagome gasped. He bent down and grabbed her hands, and looked straight into her eyes. The look that he gave her, and the way his eyes themselves looked, made it seem as if he was looking straight into her soul. She knew that whatever he said next was coming from his soul.
"Kagome, I love you!" Inuyasha blurted out, right then and there he spilled all his feelings to a shocked Kagome. He told her of how she made him feel, how he couldn't stop thinking about her, and all the details of his dream. How he would be so scared for her if what happened to Sango happened to her. A sobbing Kagome sat there in silence as the half demon in front of her spilled his heart out.
"Oh, Inuyasha!" Kagome threw arms around his neck. "I love you too!" She whispered into his ear before dissolving into even more tears.
"Aww, Kagome. What are you crying about now? You know I hate it when you cry!"
"I'm not crying because I'm sad! I'm crying because I'm happy!" With that said through her last few sobs she pulled her face away from his neck. "Oops."
"It's ok," He said as he cupped her soft sweet face in his rough hands and pulled her in for a quick, soft kiss before the others woke up and found them out.
"I love you, Kagome," Inuyasha breathed.
"I love you too Inuyasha," she replied just before Kaede woke up to check and see how Sango was doing.
