Here We Go:



~!@#$%^&*(Chapter Seven: Change is changing dates)*&^%$#@!~

"Ugh.errrm" Kagome moaned as she opened her eyes.

She instantly regretted the action, however, because the light from her window flooded her vision and her hangover head-ache flared to life.

'Ow~' she sighed mentally.

Amidst all the pain in her head she felt warm.

Not just because she was wearing a blanket..............

No..... Something was strange.

Her hand was NOT in the blanket her hand was in something... warmer...

She carefully opened her eyes this time and her pupils adjusted quickly.

She sat up a little and peered over to the side of the bed where her hand hung off the bed.

She was a little surprised to see Inuyasha sleeping peacefully next to her bed.

But what shocked her was the fact that her hand was tightly withheld in his own.

'He held my hand the whole night' she thought and didn't stop herself when a smile broke out across her face.

The smile dulled a little when she began to think.

'Why is he here? Yes! I am glad he is here. But what if he only came because Kikyou went away. And he needed a replacement.'

Her expression turned cold. An expression that she now used most of the time.

'Why is he back /now/? He was the one to close the well and now he's trying to act /nice/?'

But then the old, or rather the Kagome buried under barriers of a broken heart came back.

'Maybe Kikyou hurt him... Maybe he just came back to be my friend... maybe he's sorry about closing the well and leaving me alone and heartbroken for five months. For Leaving me in my depression. For leaving me in desperation....... She looked down at her comforter and let her heartbreak barriers close up the old Kagome.

She slid her hand out his. He moaned sorrowfully.

She smiled a little, despite herself.

'Maybe' she thought before grabbing some clothes and asprin to go take a shower and get ready for the day.

"I didn't leave you." Inuyasha said tentatively.

They were sitting next to eachother on Kagome's bed after Kagome had showered and changed and Inuyasha had woken up.

They had sat there for some time before the hanyou grew the small courage he had to talk about the previous night.

Kagome looked at him, a little surprised.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"Last night, before you passed out, you said that I left you......... But I didn't." He admitted, looking her straight in the eye.

Kagome snorted.

"Inuyasha, do you know the definition of 'leaving'? It means to go away. You went away!- She stood up and turned around so she was taller then him and let her voice get angrier-

And you sealed the well so I couldn't go back in the past. YOU left! Not that I care....." The last part she said but couldn't look him in the eye.

"What are you doing here?" She asked as she placed her hands on her hips in stressful anger.

Inuyasha looked down at the ground and then looked into her eyes. His eyes seemed to try to break down the barriers hiding the 'real' Kagome and Kagome broke eye contact.

He got up and stepped in front of her. Kagome kept her gaze on the floor. Inuyasha used his palm to touch her cheek to bring her gaze back to him.

"God- you... You really don't think- I? I...." He paused, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

"I missed you.... So much." He said. All the while staring deeply into her eyes.

It took Kagome a LOT of strength not to swoon or collapse into his arms crying and admitting how much she missed him.

Instead Kagome was about to say that she didn't give a flying f*ck anymore. But then he.........smiled.

Not a large obvious smile, but enough to show that he was happy....... Happy to see Kagome..........

'He's not lying.... He missed me.......' She thought and then asked what she really felt needed to be answered.

"Then /Why/ did you seal the well?" she asked.

Inuyasha's eyes looked deeply pained for a moment but Kagome only saw them for a second.

A second later Inuyasha grabbed her up in a hug.

He squeezed his arms around her waist and buried his face in her hair.

Kagome looked shocked for a while but her face calmed down and she put her arms around him tentatively.

When she responded to his embrace he squeezed her quickly and said, " I didn't seal the well."

Kagome didn't step out of his warm embrace, she enjoyed it too much, but she tilted her head back to look into his eyes.

"What?!" She asked shocked.

He buried his face in the crook in her neck and took a deep breath.

'It's like he's /breathing/ me' she thought.

Then he slowly moved his lips from her neck all the way to her ear. Leaving a burning sensation that made Kagome feel weak in the knees.

He spoke quietly to her,

" I never sealed the well. After you left I kept trying to come back but the well didn't work. I thought /you/ sealed the well."

She flinched but he rub her back up and down with his hands in a soothing movement. She melted into him.

"Now I know for sure that you didn't do it." His husky voice was having different effects to Kagome, none of which were painful.

"You mean so much to me Kagome."

He whispered and Kagome pushed him back far enough so she could look him straight in the eye. Her hands were holding each side of his face so that she could see if he was speaking truthfully.

Their noses were almost touching.

"Do-.... Do you mean that?" Her face pleaded with his eyes to answer truthfully.

Inuyasha was going to say a simple yes but he let his instinct guide him.

He closed the space between them and tentatively kissed her lips.

She instantly responded, also following her instinct.

She sunk her hands into his hair and his hands began to roam her back. All the while pushing her closer to him.

She had to stifle a moan.

Kagome opened her mouth and let Inuyasha deepen the kiss more.

Suddenly nothing in the world existed except Inuyasha and her.

She had never felt so free.

Each caress showed both persons their feelings deep down.

Inuyasha broke the make-out session and tenderly kissed her lips.

Then he whispered,

"Yes."
