Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Inuyasha. If I did, Kagome and Inuyasha would have been together looong before the second movie! X3
Author's Note: This story will switch between first person and omniscient narration (probably only when the chapter changes) so please be aware so you won't be extremely confused. I know I would ^^;

No More Words
When Kagome woke up, she didn't open her eyes at first. She listened to her surroundings, taking everything in first. Birds were chirping outside. She could hear a slight breeze rustling through the trees.
The raven-haired girl's eyes fluttered open, only to be assaulted by sunlight. She shielded her eyes with her arm as she sat up.
I'm alive? She asked. Kagome noticed that she was in the back room of Kaede's home on the shrine grounds and she was dressed in a white sleeping kimono.
How long have I been like this? She wondered aloud. Movement next to her startled her. She looked to the opposite wall. There sat Inuyasha, sleeping sitting up with his arms crossed over his chest.
Kagome cried, leaping from her bed and tackling the hanyou, who woke up immediately.
Kagome! You're awake! Inuyasha exclaimed, holding onto her tightly. Kagome began to sob. Whether or not it was from happiness or sorrow that she cried, she wasn't sure.
I'm so sorry, Inuyasha. All I ever do is make life miserable for you,
Shut up, Kagome! Inuyasha barked. Kagome stopped short and looked into his golden eyes.
I don't care about all of that. All I care about is that you're here with me now. He said softly. The young miko's eyes welled up with tears again and she started crying all over. The dog hanyou held her close, letting her tears soak his clothing. He breathed in her scent. It was clean and healthy again – a scent for a sore nose.
When I woke up and saw you there, I could feel your soul leaving. Inuyasha, I thought you were going to die, She sobbed. Inuyasha smiled.
I'm not going anywhere, Kagome. Not without you, He said. And I would never leave you without telling you
The hanyou's voice trailed off, preparing to confess what he had been feeling all this time.
Tell me what, Inuyasha? Kagome asked, looking into his eyes.
There was a long pause as Inuyasha struggled to find the words appropriate for the situation. After his search rendered no significant findings, he gave up on words. The golden-eyed dog demon leaned forward and kissed Kagome full on the mouth. Kagome was surprised at first, her eyes wide. But once reality hit her, her eyes closed and she embraced Inuyasha with the passion that she had felt for him for all of this time.
After the kiss ended, the two lovers looked into each other's eyes dreamily. Kagome smiled and blushed, feeling born again. Inuyasha had the softest look in his eyes and a gentle smile on his face.
He said softly.
I know that I'm loud and stubborn and being my mate would be dangerous with Naraku around, butwould you stay with me anyway?
Kagome smiled and kissed his cheek.
Of course I would, Inuyasha,
A breath of wind blew into the room through the window, fluttering through the two lovers' hair as they heard sounds of life in the next room.
Kagome! I heard Kagome's voice! Shippou's voice called out.
Kaede's voice came.
The door slid open to reveal the elderly shrine mistress and the small kitsune youkai, wide eyed and smiling.
Shippou cried, jumping into the young woman's lap and hugging her for all he was worth, all while sobbing.
Kagome called out, laughter in her voice. It's all right, Shippou-chan. She comforted the small kitsune, stroking his back.
Houshi-sama! Sango-chan! Kagome is awake! Kaede called cheerfully. Within moments, the monk and Taji-ya were in Kagome's room. Sango fell down on the ground and hugged Kagome while Miroku stood in the doorway, smiling and crossing his arms over his chest.
Kagome laughed happily, glad that she was alive and with her friends.
To be honest, I didn't want to die, but if it would keep Inuyasha alive, I would have gladly given my life so he could live.
I love Inuyasha. I want to be near him always. There may be tough times ahead and many difficult battles, but none of that matters to me. As long as I am by his side I will always be content.
Inuyasha looked on the scene and smiled. Though many things in the world were not peaceful, now he did not worry about those things.
Kagome, I don't know what I would have done without you. My life would have meant nothing. I can't live without you here by my side. I don't know why I didn't say something to you sooner. I suppose it was my ego, but that doesn't matter now. All that matters is that you're here with me.
Somehow, Kagome, even though things are messed up now, I think everything will turn out for the better. I know that Naraku cannot win against the both of us. You are stronger than you say you are. Together we are invincible.
Inuyasha reached out and put his hand over Kagome's and smiled at her. The raven-haired girl smiled back. No words were exchanged. Only feelings.
Though they did not know it, all in the room could see the love that the two shared for each other and knew that everything would be all right from then on out.

Just a side note, if anyone hasn't noticed, all of the titles of the chapters and the title of the story itself are names of pieces or songs from the Inuyasha soundtrack. Just thought that you'd like to know :)
I hope you liked the story. Even if you didn't, please leave a review! I'd like to know what everyone thinks :D
