"Inu-yasha.. you haven't changed," Kagome said shakily afraid of the
answer, "Are you a full demon yet?"
"It's not whole.. The jewel isn't whole" He said back, watching her every move and expression,
"Wha..what? It looks whole though."
"Yeah, but look here," he said pointing into the middle of the Shikon no tama, where a tiny piece of the jewel a shard was missing.
"Oh, who has it?"
"Naraku more likely, since he's gonna need all the power to regain strength."
Kagome just nodded, and tried her best to look serious but it wasn't long before a smile was drawn upon her lips, he wouldn't change after all. Or at least not now, she told herself happily.
"What are you smiling for, incase you haven't noticed this is a bad thing!!" he snapped bringing her away from her thoughts. When Kagome didn't answer, he grabbed her hand and held it gently, "sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you like that."
"It's. ok" she answered back, for this was only the third time he had ever apologized to her and she wasn't completely used to it.
"But it's not ok," he mumbled which caught Kagome completely by surprise, "I've always treated you so bad.."
"No you haven't," she interrupted weakly
"Yes I have, and I've never meant to hurt either of the times,"
"I know that." She said but he continued on without notice
"Whenever something went wrong I always took it out on you, but I never meant too." Kagome practically melted in her spot when she saw him so sad, and his eyes full of guilt.. but she didn't care how he used to take things out on her then, now she just wanted to hold him and tell him she forgives and always will.
"I know," she whispered, she no longer felt joy that he wasn't a full demon after she saw those eyes filled sadness. She couldn't help it, she had to do something that could get him to understand that she knew that he never meant to hurt her. So, she took a step toward him and hugged him, sweetly and instead of him be the one who comforts he was being comforted.
After they broke away from the embrace, Inuyasha said, "Why did you look so happy when you saw I wasn't a full demon yet?"
She looked at him for a long moment, before she swiftly turned and walked away, she wasn't going to be responsible for ruining what he's wanted over 50 years for. Inuyasha walked behind her and gently grabbed her hand and slowed her down, "Please tell me."
Now her eyes filled with silent tears that tried desperately to break through, "I'm sorry." He watched her, as her hand slowly slid from his grasp, she then took off running hoping he didn't see her tears.
"Sango?" Sango immediately looked around in wonder to who called her name, but as her eyes fell upon Kagome she smiled and nodded.
"Yes?"
"May I have a word with you for a moment?" Hoping her best friend would follow Kagome made her way toward the door of the hut,
"Of course what's wrong?" When they reached outside Kagome pulled Sango towards the back of the hut where she was shore Inuyasha wouldn't hear.
"It's about Inuyasha, the jewel isn't whole, so were gonna have to find the last shard," Kagome paused knowing Sango didn't really care if she went directly to the point or not.
"Well, he asked me why I looked so happy when I saw he wasn't a full demon yet.. I can't answer, I just can't." Taking every word in, to help Kagome Sango said,
"Well why don't you tell me why... I'm not exactly sure, and once I know, I can help you better."
"Ok, as you know Inuyasha and I have finally admitted our feelings, and I love him I really do. The only problem is that when he finally becomes a full demon he's not ever going to be himself again. But since I love him and I know he's wanted to be a full demon since he knew he was half I'm don't want to stand in his way.
"So, when I looked happy I didn't want him to notice but he did, I just don't want him to change," now Kagome was in tears. She wasn't sobbing, but she did have tears gliding down her face, she had finally told someone, it felt good to let that out instead of bottling up inside.
The only problem, was Sango wasn't the only one who heard Kagome's answer and confession, but Inuyasha was listening from a high tree. He had heard every word and took them in, interpreting what each word meant, and suddenly felt something he had only felt once before.
When he had fallen in love with Kikyou, he had actually considered using the Jewel to become human, and didn't mind being weak instead of strong, as long as he was with her. Now he didn't want to become a human for Kagome, he just wanted to be with her. Forever.
He wanted to go down and comfort Kagome and wipe away her tears, but didn't want to think of her reaction.
A/N So what do u think? Will the gang go and search for the last shard? Does Naraku have it? And what will inuyasha do when he finally gets the whole shard? I don't think the jewel will be whole in the next chappy but it might ^ ^ please R&R
