Chapter 5

Rest and Relaxation Part 1

Kagome lay on her bed looking up at the ceiling. i'It was just that once.'/i She thought. i'I haven't heard his voice since. Was I just imagining things?' /i

Kagome heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Kagome quickly sat up when she saw who it was. She tried to fix her hair that way sticking up all over, but it didn't work at all.

"I-Inu Yasha, what are you doing here?" she asked him.

"Would you like to come with us to my parents vacation cabin with us this weekend? My parents won't be there, thank god for that." He asked.

Kagome giggled. "Who else is coming?"

"Miroku, Sango, Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, and Rina. Mai is out dating some French guy." Inu Yasha told her.

"Sure!" Kagome exclaimed happily.

Inu Yasha turned around.

"Wait, I need to talk to you." She told him.

"A-about what?" Inu Yasha asked hesitantly.

"The other day, I heard your voice.you said you thought you might be starting to fall in love with me. Inu Yasha, is that true?" Kagome asked Inu Yasha, she was dying to know if it was true or not.

Inu Yasha walked towards the door. "We leave in two hours." He walked closer to the door. "Yes, what I thought was true." With that, he quickly left the room in a hurry.

"H-he likes me?!" Kagome exclaimed. A thought struck her mind. " What about Kikyo?" She asked herself. Kagome just shrugged and started to get packing.

*****

Three hours later, everyone arrived at the cottage. It was a nice size; it had a living room, family room, five bedrooms, a girls bathroom and boys bathroom, a kitchen, study, and dinning room. There also was a fantastic view of a private owned lake.

"Wow! This place is beautiful!" Sakura exclaimed.

Everyone split up and did what they wanted to do.

Miroku and Sango went to take a walk around the fairly large lake.

Eriol and Tomoyo decided to find something to read in the study.

Sakura and Syaoran went to opposites sides of the house to relax.

Rina went off into the woods alone.

Kagome decided to look around.

And our favorite hanyou was sitting in a tree wondering if Kagome was mad.

b Eriol and Tomoyo /b

"So, what kind of books do you like?" Eriol asked Tomoyo.

Tomoyo picked out a book. "I prefer books on making clothes. What about you Sir Eriol?"

Eriol sighed. "Just Eriol, I like to learn about magic."

"Are you a wizard?" Tomoyo asked him.

Eriol nodded. "I am the reincarnation of a great wizard, Clow Reed."

Tomoyo's eyes widened. "I see. My friend Sakura and your friend aren't getting along."

"No, they aren't." Eriol agreed.

"I think they would be a cute couple." Tomoyo said.

"Are you thinking of what I'm thinking?" Eriol asked.

Tomoyo nodded. "Matchmaking! This is going to be so much fun!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

******

Miroku reached with his left hand and grasped tightly onto Sango's hand. Sango blushed slightly and squeezed his hand back as they were walking around the quiet lake.

"We come down here a lot." Miroku said. "I like to walk around the lake, it makes me feel relaxed."

Sango nodded. "Yah, I agree. Why are Kagome and Inu Yasha being so quiet?"

"Somehow Kagome heard something Inu Yasha thought in her head. She's only had that happen once though. She asked him if it was true and he said yes. He doesn't want to make the first move now." Miroku told her.

"What was the question?" Sango asked.

"If Inu Yasha was starting to fall in love with Lady Kagome or not." Miroku said.

Sango's eyes widened. "No wonder.Miroku,"

"Yes, what is it?"

"D-do you think that I can fall in love with you and get married in less than two weeks?" Sango asked nervously.

Miroku nodded his head. "If you truly do love me. We could always get eloped and then get married again and have a royal wedding."

Sango smiled. "I like that idea."

"You have to fall in love with me first." Miroku told Sango as they reached a mile away from the cabin.

Sango held onto Miroku's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "That's the least of my worries."

Miroku smiled as well. "I can tell."

******

"Wahhhh!" Sakura screamed.

Syaoran rushed into the room. "What is it?!" He exclaimed.

"I-It's a spider!" Sakura yelled.

Syaoran looked around. "Where?"

Sakura pointed to a small spider that was a centimeter or two big.

Syaoran almost started to laugh. "Y-your afraid of the itsy bitsy spider?!" Syaoran started to laugh his head off.

Sakura on the other hand ran over to her bed and started bawling her eyes out. She hated Syaoran! He was an idiot! She wished he never came to the castle. i 'I want to be a princess again. /i Sakura thought.

"S-Sakura?" Syaoran asked. "What's wrong?"

Sakura lifted her head up. "What's wrong? I tell you what's wrong, its you! You are annoying me! Stop making fun of me!"

"Look I'm sorry, its just that I- that I-"

"That you what?" Sakura asked.

"Nevermind."

"No, I want to know!" Sakura demanded fiercely.

Syaoran shrugged. "Fine, I like you." he mumbled.

"What did you say?" Sakura asked. "I couldn't hear you."

"I said I liked you!" Syaoran yelled. With that, he marched out of the room.

"S-Syaoran likes me?!" Sakura said to herself. "Wow."

*******

Kagome stepped outside. "Inu Yasha!" she called. "Inu Yasha where are you?"

"Keh! Quiet down women I'm over here!" Inu Yasha barked from a tree.

Kagome walked over to the tree, she really wanted to get a chance to talk to Inu Yasha. She saw he was pretty far up, but she still decided to climb up. Half way up, she slipped on a branch and fell from the tree. Luckily, Kagome landed safely in Inu Yasha's arms.

"Thank you, Inu Yasha." Kagome told him.

Inu Yasha set Kagome down. "Keh!"

Kagome looked up at him. "W-why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?"

Inu Yasha turned his back towards her. "Yes, you did. You came into my life, which caused me to fall in love with you." He quickly ran off as fast as he could away from Kagome.

Kagome stood there. "He loves me? But, I've only known him for five days."

Inu Yasha didn't go very far. Only a few hundred yards away at the most. He wasn't sure what he should do. He had just told Kagome that he cared for her after her thinking they had only known each other for five days.

"She doesn't know anything!" Inu Yasha yelled to himself. "She doesn't even remember me. Of course why would she."

Inu Yasha sighed to himself when he found out who she was at the flower shop, everything changed. He realized who she was. It totally changed the way he thought of her. Normally, he would be very mean, but since he knew her, it was different.

i 'It may only have been when we were young, but I still remember.' /i Inu Yasha thought to himself. i 'It didn't start out good though. Once I found out a commoner was going to take archery with me, I had a temper tantrum. Of course, I was only 12. As soon as I saw Kagome, I loved her. She was so kind. I never did speak to her. But I was drawn to everything about her. She never noticed me either. That didn't matter to me though, I still loved her. Of course, I loved Kikyo, but feelings for Kagome still lingered in my heart. When Kikyo died form scarlet fever, I never thought I would love again.' /i

Inu Yasha turned around and started to head back to the cabin, they would be wondering where he was. He just hoped that Kagome could learn to love him.

*******

Kagome was still in the same place, and she was speechless. She heard Inu Yasha in her head! She knew it was him since the last time it was him as well.

"No wonder, he's known me since I was twelve. It wasn't because of Kikyou why he hugged me, it was because secretly in his heart, he loved me!" Kagome said to herself. "I never thought I was taking archery with royalty."

She still stood there in shock, but jumped when she heard footsteps. She quickly turned around.

"I-Inu Yasha, your back, I didn't think you would." Kagome told him. "I-I heard what you said, we actually what you thought."

Inu Yasha gasped and winced, he didn't want her to know that! He quickly walked faster away from her. He had just mad a huge fool of himself. What had he been thinking?

Kagome ran up to Inu Yasha. "Where are you going!?"

"Home" Was all he said, but then he added, "to break off the engagement."

"Y-you're what?!" Kagome exclaimed. "But why? I don't hate you!"

Inu Yasha quickened his pace. "I know that, but you don't like me either!"

Kagome rested a hand on his shoulder and stopped him. "If you would allow me time, I'm sure I could!"

"That's exactly why I'm breaking off the engagement!" Inu Yasha told her.

"Inu Yasha, you aren't making any sense!"

Inu Yasha turned to face her. "I'm making perfect sense! Because I love you, it's forcing you into loving me! That's wrong! You should love someone on your own free will, not be forced to love someone to make them happy."

Kagome lowered her head a few minutes later she faced Inu Yasha. He gasped when he saw her crying. "Is that what you think Inu Yasha?"

He looked at Kagome. "I-I'm sorry Ka-"

Inu Yasha stood there, Kagome's arms were around his neck and she was kissing him. He was in complete and total shock. He finally came back down to Earth and responded to Kagome. He wrapped his arms around Kagome's small waist and pulled her closer to him. Inu Yasha never thought that this would ever happen, he dreamed of it, but never expected it. Kagome was obviously happy that Inu Yasha responded she deepened the kiss as much as she could without having to french him. She would save that for later.

"Inu Yasha,"

"Hmmm?"

"I like you a lot, stay with me for around a week and that will change."

"Why is that?"

"I'll love you."

Inu Yasha hugged Kagome as tight as he could without hurting her. "Thank you Kagome, thank you."

To be continued!
