Another chappie. Yay! Onto story

~~~`

Kagome was at the well with a very heavy heart. She had to do this. She was a burden to everybody. Every single goddamn person here! So many lives were lost because of her. All because of her and the goddamn jewel!

Damn you Kikyo. Couldn't you sense someone behind you when Naraku attacked you? Why did you have to come back to life? Most importantly, why did you have to have my Hanyou's heart?

" Why? Kami-sama why?"

Kagome sat near the well. I can't go in, not yet at least. I have to think. She went to the place where she could think in peace.

The Goshinboku.

~~~~~~~`

I smell her.

She's by the Goshinboku.

Inuyasha had trouble telling Kikyo that he was going to Kagome. So instead, he left her there. For her to ponder her own thoughts. For her to ponder her own thoughts. He really was a coward. He had to keep his tough exterior. He wasn't going to let anyone see his emotions. It would make him weak.

There she was. Laying softly on the frozen grass leaning on the Goshinboku. She looked as confused as he was. Then his breath was caught in his throat. It was a little past dark and the fireflies danced around her beautiful figure, but she looked so broken. So lost. At least he could keep his composure. Slowly he came up to her. She noticed who it was thought and tried to gather her emotions.

Suprisingly Kagome talked first.

" Inuyasha, I need to know. Who?"

" Kagome, I."

Inuyasha swallowed the lump in his throat; she was making him choose. He looked away from her. Kagome got up and yanked his arm and whirled him around. His eyes met her face briefly in surprise, and then he clenched them tightly, as though afraid she'd turn him to stone.

"Gods, Inuyasha. You can't even look at me!"

His face scrunched and she could tell he was trying to prove her wrong, but he just ended up hanging his head until his thick bangs shadowed his downcast eyes. He moved to get away, but she twisted her fists in the neck of his shirt and pulled him back. This was getting absurd.

"Inuyasha!"

Tugging his bottom lip in between his teeth, he reluctantly met her eyes, his demeanor softening almost immediately. His brows were knotted in the center, his face flushed, and his eyes - those large, expressive eyes were shimmering.pained.

She suddenly understood why he didn't want her to see him. Whatever strength he relied on to keep up all those emotional barriers was depleted, and he couldn't hide his feelings from her. At all.

And Inuyasha looked more than just distressed. He looked vulnerable.

It made sense. He wanted to tell her something. She just hoped it was something she wanted to hear.

" Please Inuyasha tell me. Who?" Her voice was cracking. The tears she had been holding back falling one by one.

That broke him. She suddenly found herself wrapped up in his half demon arms, nearly crushed within his fierce embrace.

"When I look at you, I...remember..." He took a deep breath and tried again. "I...I want to..." With a quick, frustrated growl, he disentangled one of his arms and combed his fingers through her thick, raven hair, tilting her tear-streaked face upwards. "Kagome," he breathed desperately, his gaze trailing back and forth between her lips and her eyes. "What do you feel for me?"

It caught her so off guard, she just blinked mutely, winded by his intensity. It was a good thing his other arm was bracketed around the small of her back, because his gaze seemed to suck the strength right out of her legs.

She was abruptly aware of every part of her that was touching him...every heated fold of cloth between them, every indentation in her skin from where he was gripping her... And she knew, without needing it spelled out that he wanted more than just the generic I-care-for-you answer. Please tell me this is real. For me and not Kikyo.

Inuyasha wanted her to put her whole heart out on the table. Kagome found herself tongue-tied. It was difficult to concentrate on much of anything when his mouth was just a couple inches from her own. It gave her the impression that if she answered the question just right, he'd close the distance between them and kiss her. "In.Inuyasha," she whispered, inebriated with his warmth, his breath, his gaze, his touch.

"I."
