Disclaimer: I can't say Inu-Yasha's mine...but I CAN say that he's been
unplushified cause now I'm kinda chasing after Kurt of the X-Men
Evolution... BLUE-BOY!! w00t!! Oo Oh great, now I sound like Abby...
-.-
Here's the fic, anyhoo...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Good night Shippo, good night Sango, Night Miroku, Kirara."
The other chorused their response
"Good night, Inu-Yasha"
Nothing but a low grunt came from the trees above.
"...Sweet dreams..."
***
Out here in the quiet of the night.
Beneath the stars...and the moon.
We both know
We've got something on our minds.
We won't admit it,
But it's true.
***
Kagome sighed as she snuggled into her sleeping bag. She wished Inu-Yasha would warm up to her a little at least. She always felt so hollow when he talked to her, and he always peered at her in that weird way, as though, at any moment he expected her to become someone else. 'Duh!' She snapped at herself. 'Of course he wants you to change! You look too much like Kikyo to him! How would you feel if a look-alike of your true love barged in on you?!'
She stilled when she heard a sigh from the tree.
***
You look at me, I look away.
***
She looked up to see Inu-Yasha looking at her and blushed. Quickly she averted her gaze. She couldn't look him in the eyes. She be lost in his golden pools of liquid hot magma for eternity.
It hurt. It hurt so much to lok at him and know he wasn't hers, that he belonged to someone who only looked like her, shared her soul, but in truth, was nothing like her at all. It didn't matter though. She still owned him, and Kagome couldn't do anything about it.
***
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,
But I don't know how to start.
I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that
You might break my heart.
***
She let a strangled sob slip and clapped her hands over her mouth.
'Please! Please don't let him have heard me!'
She glanced fearfully at the tree. Inu-Yasha was asleep. A dozen emotions flooded through her, glee, anger, sorrow....
***
Oh, why should anything so easy,
Ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling.
And to say that, I love you.
***
She forced herself to look at the ground. It was too painful to look him in the eyes. Far too painful. She could already feel the tears, threatening to overwhelm her. She wiped them away; she didn't need to cry now. Not now.
***
I practice all the things that I could say,
Line by line, every word.
I tell myself today could be the day.
But every time I lose my nerve.
***
Inu-Yasha looked over his shoulder at Kagome after she wished him 'sweet dreams.' Why was it that everytime he was mean to her that she just smiled and all that happy junk? It irked him sometimes. But others....
He shook his head to clear it. He didn't need to be thinking about KAGOME like that....he loved Kikyo....didn't he?
Well, in a way, she WAS Kikyo....kinda....but she'd never accept him. He sighed
***
I look at you, you look away.
***
He saw her look at him and stopped as they made eyes contact. He couldn't tell why, but everytime he looked her in the eye, something went tingling down his spine. He loved her eyes, so beautiful...he was tempted to leap down right this minute and kiss her till neither of them could breathe.
Then she looked away....
***
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,
But I don't know how to start.
I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that
You might break my heart.
***
Inu-Yasha felt crushed by the loss of eye contact. She had looked away. It was saddening, that she didn't look him in the eyes. Was it for the same reason the he sometimes couldn't? No, unlike him, she didn't have demon instincts. She didn't have the horrible, nagging urge to take a mate, to.....he shook his head.
'Don't think like that!' He snarled at himself.
He mustn't think like that around Kagome. He didn't want to force her. He could never....do that....to her. Not to Kagome.
"And besides," He thought. "She'd reject me if I asked..."
***
Oh, why should anything so easy,
Ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling.
And to say that, I love you.
***
Inu-Yasha let the inner battle continue. Why shouldn't he tell her? If she rejected him, he could always just die...and if she accepted him...now THAT was a thought....
He paused at the sob. What was wrong with her now?
***
Why, why do you turn away?
It must be, you're afraid like me.
I try, but I can't pretend that I,
Don't feel for you the way I do.
Can't you see?
***
He saw her turning around to look at him, eyes frightened. He quickly laid down and shut his own. Her heard her sigh and caught several different scents, saddness, fear, happiness, and other such emotions.
***
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,
But I don't know how to start.
I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that
You might break my heart.
***
He tried to block out her scent by covering his nse, but after a few mere seconds of not smelling her, he almost went insane. His whole being was aching for her now. He wanted to get down from his tree and comfort her, hug her, and eventually, love her...
But all he'd ever been able to do was make her cry...
***
Oh, why should anything so easy,
Ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling.
And to say that...I love you....
***
He inhaled her scent and laid back. It was so calming, knowing that she was there with him. Gods he wanted her....he wanted more than her friendship, her kind love....he wanted everything of her...
***
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,
But I don't know how to start.
I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that
You might break my heart.
***
He shook his head, but stopped suddenly. What...had he heard? Kagome....she'd said something? Hadn't she?
***
Oh, why should anything so easy,
Ever be so hard to do?
I wanna tell you what I'm feeling.
And to say that
***
"I love you." Inu-Yasha rolled over and squinted at her through gold eyes. Kagome froze, praying that his doggy ears hadn't picked up those words that had let slip. He rubbed his eyes a few times and his gaze seemed to soften a little. He covered a yawn and looked back at Kagome.
"Did you say something, Kagome?" He mumbled sleepily.
Kagome almost sighed in relief/disappointment. So he hadn't heard? A part of her was overjoyed! She didn't have worry about being rejected if he didn't know. Her other part was sad beyond compare. If he didn't know, she couldn't be accepted.
"Me? No, nothing! I didn't say anything, Inu-Yasha...good night."
Inu-Yasha gave a funny look, as though he'd expected something different as a response. Kagome rolled over in her sleeping bag, afraid that if she looked at him, she would weaken and tell him everything: how much she loved him, why she always cried when he was angry, why she loved to ride his back when he ran.....
She heard a soft thud behind her, but forbid herself to look. She knew who it was. She started to sit up, when she felt strong arms encircle her. She stiffened and the arms stilled their progress, but she could already feel the warmth of the chest behind her.
"Inu-Yasha....?"
"Kagome, ashiteru..."
Kagome swivled around to face him. He was looking at her with bright golden eyes, and a small smile was gracing his lips. She sat in his arms, dumbfounded.
"You.....do?"
He nodded.
"Oh, INU-YASHA!!"
She flung her arms around his neck and sobbed happily into his shoulder. Inu-Yasha held her close and it was only by doing so that he caught her whisper.
"Ashiteru, Inu-Yasha...."
