Chapter 4
Authors note: sorry to all the fans of this fic. I am so sorry it took so long to put up this chapter, but I was swamped with end of the school year work.*gasp* Air! Freedom! How I do welcome you!
"Nice performance, Kagome."
Kagome's hand fell to her side, the brush tumbling uselessly to the floor. Inuyasha's smile widened, exposing his fangs. Kagome stuttered. "I- Inuyasha. What are you doing here?"
"I HAD come to talk to you about earlier, but now I seem to have forgotten what I was going to say."
"Well, t-thanks for saving me earlier. No thanks for spying on me."
Inuyasha threw his hands into the air. "I wasn't spying! Honest!"
"Well."
"Ah. About earlier."
They stood there awkwardly for a few moments, thinking of the things they wished they could tell each other. Neither could confess in fear of how the other would react. Inuyasha stared hard at Kagome, whose eyes kept shifting around the room uncomfortably. Inuyasha stepped closer to her. Kagome's eyes met his and they locked, staring into one another's eyes.
Inuyasha grabbed her arms and planted a long-awaited kiss on her lips. Kagome's eyes flew open in shock. Her arms hung uselessly at her side. She hadn't expected this or the feeling of happiness that came with it. Yet, as soon as it started it was over. Inuyasha looked at Kagome like she had just said 'oswari'.
"Kagome! I'm sorry!" He took a few steps back from her, then turned and fled the room.
Kagome starred at the area he had just been standing in. She brought one hand to her lips and touched the place he had kissed her. She slumped to the floor on her knees. "What should I do? Should I go after him?"
She stood after a few minutes and went slowly to the well. Inuyasha was nowhere in sight. She thought for a moment, and then hopped in the well.
When she landed in Inuyasha's time and climbed out of the well, she saw Inuyasha sitting not far away in the grass. A few rose petals decorated his hair and he looked up at her as she approached.
"Inuyasha-"
"Don't, Kagome." He stood and looked at her, trying to fight down the urge to kiss her again.
Kagome took a step forward and planted a kiss on his lips. It was Inuyasha's turn to be surprised. After a moment, she drew back.
"Why did you pick me over the miko Kikyo? I thought you loved her. I thought I didn't stand a chance with you! I thought-"
Inuyasha silenced her with another kiss. "No, Kagome, she is the one who does not stand a chance with me. I love you, Kagome."
He kissed her, and this time both of them accepted it. Kagome wrapped her arms around his shoulders; Inuyasha's arms encircled her waist.
Shippo ran up behind them and tugged on Inuyasha's pant leg. "Inuyasha, Sango Sama and Miroku Sama-"
Oh-ho-ho! What will happen? Gotta wait and find out!
