Kagome walked up next to Inuyasha who was sitting under the God tree.
She sat down next to him with her bag. He turned to give her a
questioning look. But she just smiled in return.
"What?" He asked her, a hint of anger in his voice.
"I just wanted to talk, that's all." Kagome said.
"About what? C'mon, just say it." Inuyasha said, giving her a frustrated look.
"Well, I just wanted to know, if you think you can tell me anything." Kagome asked.
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked in return.
"Do you trust me Inuyasha? Enough to tell me anything?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha blushed for some reason. "Promise me you could tell me anything Inuyasha. Promise me." Kagome told him.
"I promise, Kagome." Inuyasha said reluctantly. She nodded and stood up, grabbing her bag.
"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked almost tenderly.
"Home for an exam. I'll be home later tomorrow, after school." Kagome told him. He gave her a simple 'Feh' before she walked back to the well and jumped in.
That night in the forest he couldn't sleep. He kept remembering the words Kagome made him promise. To tell her anything. He had something to tell her, something big. But how would she react if he told her that he loved her? She could sit him or she could say that back, he didn't know. Maybe all of their fighting was just a cover up for an attraction? If it was they were deeply in love. But he had to confess that to Kagome at first.
It was like a bubble growing bigger and bigger in his chest, if he told Kagome, it would pop and everything would be okay. But if he didn't, it would explode and kill him. 'I can't tell her. I've got to tell her. I won't say anything. I've got to say something. I won't go. But look, my legs are moving and I'm going to go. Stop being such a fucking wimp! A real man would go and tell her right away. But I'm only half man. A real youkai would do it too. But I'm only half demon. Than I have to do it. Tomorrow, I'll do it. No I won't. I will! And that's the end of it! I will! I'll even bring her a rose!' Inuyasha yelled to himself inside his head.
He eventually fell to sleep, but only after hours of debate late into the night. In the morning he opened his eyes to a sun that was already high in the sky. He jumped off of the ground and began to get ready to leave. 'I have to bathe, then I have to get that flower!' He thought. When he began to run to the hot springs Miroku called,
"Where are you going?"
Inuyasha didn't answer, but Miroku knew. Inuyasha ran and took that bath until he felt the cleanest he had in his life. Then he ran back to the big meadow where lots of flowers grew. He saw the bunch of silver lined red roses and picked several. Carefully guarding them, he sped of for the well.
When he reached it he stopped. 'This is your last chance to turn back. If you go now, you can't stop. But I've got to do it, I'm going to do it.' He told himself.
He jumped down the well holding the bunch of roses close to his heart. He held them tightly all the way, and only loosened his grip when he hopped out. But unlucky for him, Kagome's grandfather was lighting candles around that very well.
"Inuyasha, what calls you here?" Her grandfather asked.
"Where's Kagome!?" Inuyasha yelled, as politely as he could.
"She's at school, you'll have to wait." Her grandfather said, eyeing the flowers with a small grin.
"I can't wait now. I'll go to her school!" Inuyasha said, running out of the shrine.
"Wait, at least wear some of the modern clothes she's bought you!" He grandfather called. Inuyasha realized to go in public his ears and his outfit would alarm, but he didn't care. The least he could do was change clothes. So he ran back and into Kagome's room (through the window), and found the clothes. He struggled to but the "jeans" and "t-shirt" on. The pants were largely oversized like his, but the shirt fut quite snug, which Kagome had told him it should. We took the time to run a "comb" through his hair while he was there, but he jumped out the window right afterward.
"Good luck Inuyasha!" He grandfather called on his way out.
Inuyasha found Kagome's scent in to time and fallowed it. He jumped from building to building (which was harder with sandals on) and finally found the big building. After he jumped to the walk way it was harder to tell her scent from the hundreds of others, but he did and walked right through the open front door.
A woman sitting behind a desk tried to get his attention.
"Sir, excuse me sir, are you here to see someone?" The woman asked. Inuyasha nodded, walking away from the desk.
"Are you a visitor? Sir, you have to get a visitor badge! Sir, come back!" The woman yelled hopelessly as he turned a corner. He had no time for nosy women. He was just after Kagome.
He turned another corner and ran into a long hallway where he could smell her scent in several places. 'Just find the scent leading to the nearest door. She'll be in there.' He thought. He went from door to door smelling the scent.
"Excuse me, do you have a hall pass?" Some one called from behind him. He didn't turn around, he kept smelling. And thought he didn't know what a 'hall pass' was, he replied.
"No, so buzz off." He told the male sounding voice.
"You can't be out here without a pass. I'm going to have to report you." He told Inuyasha, who barely heard him, still tracking the scent. He heard a fuzzy noise behind him and turned to see the boy holding a black box to his mouth and talking to it.
"We have a skipper in section C; we need an administrator down here." He told the box. And to Inuyasha's surprise the box said back,
"Be there in thirty seconds." Inuyasha didn't know how long that was, but he guessed it was short. So he kept smelling until he came to another door that was fresh with her scent. He reached to the door knob and pushed it open.
He was in such a daze he just looked around and spotted Kagome, with a large look in her eyes. He held the roses tightly and ran up to her, ignoring all of the other students around her whispering.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Kagome whispered to him when he got to her.
"I need to tell you something." Inuyasha said in a stumble of words.
"This isn't exactly the best time I'm-" She tried to tell him. But he interrupted her and whispered in a soft voice,
"Kagome, I love you." He told her handing the roses to her hands. At first the class was silent and so was Kagome.
Kagome grabbed the flowers and threw her arms around him, pulling him into a long sweet kiss. He felt himself blush bright red as she broke away and yelled,
"I love you too Inuyasha!" The classroom erupted into applause and Inuyasha realized every one had been watching them. Even then in his daze of happiness he asked her,
"Kagome, will you be my mate?" He said. This time the smile spread across her whole face and she told him,
"Of course I will!" The class stood up and a group of friends squealed and giggled behind Kagome.
"I bet we get to be the bridesmaids!" They all yelled. Kagome laughed and kissed him again, long and deep. It was like the whole world fell away in her kiss. Her soft rose lips graced his and the noise stopped. He held her around her waist and her long warm graceful arms were wrapped around his shoulders.
"I love you so much Inuyasha!" She told him. He kissed her this time and waited for the noise to die down.
"Kagome, would you like to be excused? I'm sure you can take the make up when you return." The woman at the front of the room told her. She nodded vigorously and Inuyasha picked her up in his arms and took her outside. Three men were waiting outside, but backed off when they saw them kissing. He took her outside into the sunlight and placed her on the ground.
"Thank you Inuyasha." Kagome told him as she grabbed his hand.
"For what?" He asked as they began to walk down the path.
"For telling me everything." Kagome told him. He smiled and kissed her. She held the roses close to her heart.
"What?" He asked her, a hint of anger in his voice.
"I just wanted to talk, that's all." Kagome said.
"About what? C'mon, just say it." Inuyasha said, giving her a frustrated look.
