Hanging by a moment
"In…Inuyasha?" She asked. "What are you doing in my room?!"
"Feh, what does it look like I'm doing, I've been waiting for you woman! Where were you anyways?!"
"The name is Kagome! Ka-go-me! I don't know if you treat all princesses like or all women for that matter like this or if it's just me, but I would really appreciate a little respect!
"Keh whatever!"
"That's it! Inuyasha what do you want? I come into my room and I see you sitting here. And then I ask you what you are doing in my room; you give me a feh whatever! What the heck is that supposed to mean? Unless I'm mistaken and I'm in your room, which I'm not, I deserve an explanation from you prince! I want it now!" Kagome closed the door and stood there with her hands crossed on her chest, her foot was tapping on the floor while she waited for the hanyou prince to speak.
"Well…I…I was…"
"You what Inuyasha?" Kagome raised an eyebrow.
Inuyasha couldn't tell Kagome why he was there. Even he didn't know why. But in a weird way he missed her presence. He missed talking to her alone as a friend, not to mention the thing he missed above all, was her in general, her laugh, her smile, her beautiful face seemed to light up the room.
-----------------------------
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
-----------------------------
"I…wanted to see if you want to do something tomorrow." He blurted out.
Kagome was quite amused. Never before had the hanyou prince act so…nervous around her. She was even more amazed by his…proposal.
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Okay…sounds nice, so what are we going to do?"
"I was thinking…how about we go on a picnic…just you and me." Inuyasha looked up at her hopefully.
Kagome smiled at him. The same smile that makes his heart beat faster every time. "Sure that sounds great."
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow then princess." Inuyasha got up and walked out of the room. 'Finally! I'm surely going to win now!' Even though this was all about a bet, Inuyasha couldn't help but be attracted to the young princess. She was so different, so beautiful and pure, and yet…not. She had a spark to her; she was a little feisty and could actually put up a fight. Which is more then he could say for all those other princesses out there. Kagome was someone Inuyasha met for the first time, who actually is real. A princess who isn't afraid of being bold, standing out, and just being herself.
When Inuyasha finally walked out of her room Kagome closed the door and changed into her nightgown. She sat on the bed smiling to herself. Finally this is her chance to get to know him better. This was their chance to be alone. She could hardly for tomorrow to come. Soon she drifted into a blissful sleep awaiting tomorrow's events to come.
--------------------------
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
--------------------------
Kagome opened her eyes slowly only to have golden orbs meet her. She was extremely startled and jumped up immediately only to bump her head with her intruders.
"Ack!" Kagome screamed. "INUYASHA?"
"Damn it Kagome could you be more careful please?" Inuyasha rubbed the bruise on his head caused by Kagome bashing into him.
"Uh…sorry." Kagome smiled sheepishly. "Wait a minute…Inuyasha what are you doing in my room?"
"You slept in for quite a while…I came here to wake you up…I was about to, when you woke up and bumped into me."
"Oh…"
"I was afraid you forgot about our little outing today."
Kagome smiled sweetly at him. "I would never forget…don't worry no matter what we will go and alone too."
"Good we need to spend some time unaccompanied by other people, so we can get to know each other. Your still quite a mystery to me Kagome." 'Oh crap did I just say that?' Inuyasha thought to himself.
'Did he just say that?' "Well…Uh…Inuyasha could you kind of wait outside?"
"Why?"
"I need to change."
"Oh." Was his oh so wise answer. 'Since when did I reduce to one worded replies?' Inuyasha pondered, 'this girl is messing with my brain!'
Inuyasha walked out of the room silently and shut the door behind him. Once he was outside Kagome let out a sigh of relief. She quickly picked out an outfit and dressed herself.
When she was done she walked outside calmly only to find Inuyasha waiting for her.
"So are you ready to go yet?" Inuyasha asked her impatiently.
"Yep…so…where are we going again?"
------------------------------
Now I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
--------------------------------
Inuyasha landed gracefully on the ground as he set the princess down so she could stand on her own feet.
Kagome was entranced by his gracefulness in the air. He was so strong to be able to carry her all that way on his back without even the slightest complain. Kagome was glad that the basket of food she was holding didn't drop.
For the first time she took a look at her surroundings he had taken her to the field where they went horseback riding. She could still see Kouga fighting to tie the horse down. Not to mention her encounter with Inuyasha during their little game of tag. This thought made Kagome smile.
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. He noticed her observing her surroundings and then pondering to herself. Suddenly a smile crept across her face and she seemed quite content. He couldn't help but wonder why she was so happy right now.
"What are you smiling at wench?" 'Oops…shouldn't have said that! Baka!' Inuyasha scolded himself.
"Why my 'charming' prince I was just thinking about the last time we came here…when you weren't being such a jerk!"
"Feh whatever." Inuyasha shook his head and mumbled things about women and how they were never satisfied.
Kagome took out a sheet from the basket and laid it on the ground. She then sat down and stared up at Inuyasha.
"What are you staring at?" He asked slightly annoyed.
"Well aren't you going to sit down?"
Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome. Kagome unloaded all the food they brought and started to eat silently. She passed Inuyasha some food and he too begun eating as well.
When they were done Kagome rubbed her stomach and smiled contently. "That was delicious…I can always count on the cook to make great food."
"Isn't that her job?"
"Yes…but not all cooks cook food according to how I like it!" Kagome laid down with her back flat on the sheet and her hands supporting her head. She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. "Inuyasha…do you…"
"Do I what?"
"Are you still in love with Kikyou?"
"Where did that come from?"
"I don't know…I was just curious that's all…you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
"…I'm not…after she betrayed me…and I saw that evil side in her…I guess all my feelings for her just evaporated into air…I thought I was in love with her and her with me…but I guess that I was wrong."
"Do you think…you'll ever love again?"
"I don't know…I honestly don't know."
---------------------------
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
----------------------------
Kouga walked aimlessly around the palace all day. He tried to look for Kagome but couldn't find her anywhere. When he asked the servants they just shook their heads saying they haven't seen her all day. He also noticed that a certain hanyou prince was missing. Kouga growled when he finally realized what that meant. 'Damn you Inuyasha!'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome and Inuyasha laid on the field all day. When suddenly Kagome perked her head up and stared ahead like she was in a trance. She shook Inuyasha's shoulder lightly to get him to wake up from his little snooze.
"What is it?"
"The sun is going down…I just wanted you to wake up to watch the sunset…isn't it beautiful Inuyasha?" Kagome asked starry eyed.

Desperate for changing

--------------------------------
Inuyasha stared at her confused…she woke him up to watch a sunset?
A gust of wind flew by and blew Kagome's brown tresses. Her hair danced in the wind like as Inuyasha continued to stare at her. 'The sunset isn't nearly as beautiful as you are.' He thought silently to himself.
Kagome shivered when she felt the wind blow down on her. Her clothes were lightweight due to the fact that it was summer and they were going to a picnic. Inuyasha noticed this and leaned in closer to her. He wrapped his strong arms around her and held her in a tight embrace.
She was startled by his actions and gasped when she felt his arms around her. She didn't move away but instead layed her head on his shoulder. Kagome felt so safe with him. She let all her guards down and just stayed there in his arms savoring each and every moment of it.
Inuyasha too was feeling a warm fuzzy feeling inside him. He had never felt that way with anyone before, not even with Kikyou. He was having emotional turmoil inside him. He couldn't recognize these foreign feelings. But all he knew was that it felt good, and he never wanted it to go away. He contemplated for a moment. Could these feelings possibly be true love?
The rays of the sun shone out at them as if a sign that this was where they were both supposed to be. They fit so perfectly together that it seemed like he was a part of her and she was a part of him. Together they made a whole. Like the pieces of a puzzle without each other they wouldn't be complete.
They both sat there silently watching the sunset together. Both were wishing that this moment would never slip away. However all fine things must come to an end. Soon sleep took over Kagome.
Inuyasha looked down to find Kagome already asleep in his arms. He took off his red firerat coat and draped it over her. He picked her up and made his way back to the palace, with new found feelings and mixed emotions.
