The Bet
Chapter Ten: Moonlight Stroll
By: Candy2323
Sitting on her bed, Kagome grabbed the purple unicorn and looked at it. She remembered how Inuyasha won it for her. She also remembered the conversation she and her mother had earlier. She knew she'd have to make a decision sooner or later, but she'd rather talk to her friends before that decision was made.
Lying down on her bed, her cat Buyo came and laid down beside her. She started stoking his fur absent-mindedly. Looking at her ceiling, she lost herself in deep thought. What are my feelings toward Inuyasha? Do I like him? Why do I always get butterflies in my stomach whenever he's around? Grabbing the unicorn again, she began to try and sort out her feelings for Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was walking along the beach thinking about the date he and Kagome just went on. He stopped walking and looked out at the ocean and watched the sun go down, changing the sky from a light blue to different shades of purple, yellow, and orange. The purple color reminded him of the unicorn he won for Kagome. Doesn't she live around here. Starting to walk again, Inuyasha lost himself in deep thought. Do I like her? What are my feelings toward her? Why do I always feel weird when I'm around her? Looking at the sky again, he began to try and sort out his feelings for Kagome.
Suddenly, Inuyasha realized that his feet had brought him to Kagome's house. He looked up toward her window and saw that her lights were on. He suddenly had a good idea. Climbing up the tree next to Kagome's window, Inuyasha peeked inside and saw her sitting on her bed staring at the unicorn he had given her earlier. Suddenly, she turned her head toward him.
Kagome was still staring at the stuffed animal when she felt eyes on her. She looked out her window and saw Inuyasha on a tree staring at her. She ran over to her window and opened it.
"What are you doing out here?"
"I was just, um…, do you wanna go for a walk?"
"Huh."
"You know. Just a walk around the beach."
"Well, alright. Sure."
"Ok, here grab my hand," he said holding his hand out. She grabbed it and jumped into his arms. They climbed out of the tree and started walking down the beach. They walked in a comfortable silence for a while when Inuyasha plopped down on the sand. Kagome sat down beside him and they watched the stars for quite a while.
"They're so beautiful," Kagome said, snuggling up to Inuyasha.
"Yeah they are." He put an arm around her and they sat both lost in their own thoughts.
"Uh, Inuyasha, I've been wondering."
"Yeah."
"Well, we haven't known each other for a long time, yet it's like I've known you all my life."
"Yeah."
"Well, something came up earlier tonight that I think we should talk about."
"Hmm, what is it."
"Since Naraku is dead, everyone says ok for us to go back home."
"And home means?"
"Home as in Japan."
"Are you gonna go?"
"I don't know. It's up to me. Souta likes it here. He's got a lot of friends and he's happy. Mom says she likes it here, yet she doesn't really, she just puts up an act. She misses Japan."
"What about you?"
"I love it here. I mean I have you and Sango, and even Miroku here. I'm happy here, but I also want my mom to be happy."
"I see. What are you gonna do?"
"I don't know. I love my new life here. But I can't help but think about my old life in Japan."
"So you're gonna go back?"
"I don't know. I don't want to. But, I-I just don't know." She looked back up toward the sky. There in the middle was a shooting star.
"Look, make a wish and it'll come true," Inuyasha said. Kagome closed her eyes and made her wish, to speak with her father one more time. He always knew what to do in these kind of situations.
"So, what did you wish for?"
"I'm not gonna tell ya!"
"Why not?"
"Cause if I tell ya, it won't come true!"
"Uh-huh."
"Ya," Kagome said standing up and walking to the shoreline. Inuyasha followed looking at the ocean.
"It's so beautiful," Kagome said stepping into the water. Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea. Inuyasha looked so deep in thought, she might as well play with him a little. She snuck around him to where she was facing his back, and with all her strength, she pushing him into the water. He landed flat on his face! When he got up, his whole face was covered in sand and mud.
"Hahaha, you look so haha funny haha," Kagome laughed as Inuyasha crept toward her. Before she knew it, he'd picked her up and was walking into the ocean carrying her.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing," he said, "Yet." He walked until he was waist deep before he threw her into the water. She came up from under it and started splashing Inuyasha. He followed suit. Soon they were engaged in an all out water fight. Finally, soaked to the bone, Inuyasha and Kagome walked out of the water and sat down on the sand. It was a warm clear night and they again started watching the stars.
"You know what," Kagome said looking at Inuyasha.
"What?"
"I think you'll be seeing a lot of me from now on."
"Does that mean you're?"
"Yeah. I think I'm gonna stay." They again turned their attention toward the sky. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome. Hours seemed to pass like seconds. The watched as the first rays of the sun came over the ocean.
"Hey Kagome."
"Yeah," she said looking at him. He grabbed her chin and brought her mouth to his and kissed her. Pulling away he looked into her eyes. Although shocked, she also seemed happy.
"What was that for?"
"I just wanted to tell you good morning." That sat in silence and watched the sun rise in each others arms. Everything was perfect at that wonderful moment.
