The Woman Behind the Mask
Chapter 7
Some weeks later the hospital had decided she was well enough to walk and go home. Kagome was elated at the news. On the way to the hospital Sango came up with an idea.
"Hey guys why do we take Kagome to the park for a picnic and there she can walk around for a while and get some fresh air," suggested Sango.
"That sounds like a great idea Sango," exclaimed Rin, "how about you, Inuyasha, and Shippo go and pick up Kagome while Sess, Miroku, and I go get the things for the picnic?"
"Sound good to me. What about you Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.
"Feh, whatever."
"Why don't you just say it Inuyasha? We know you love her," thought Miroku.
Then, as they had planned the group split up and took two cars. So Sango, Inuyasha and Shippo pulled up to the hospital and walked inside to find Inutaisho and an elated Kagome sitting in a wheel chair.
"When can I get out of this wheel chair? I mean, I can walk. I proved it," stated Kagome.
"You will just have to wait until later," Inutaisho replied.
"Well actually I have an idea," started Inuyasha, "I could just carry her. It wouldn't be a big deal."
"Yeah! That sounds like a great idea. How about that?" asked Kagome hopefully.
"I don't see a problem," said Sango.
"Oh all right. I give up," said a laughing Inutaisho.
Inuyasha very easily picked up Kagome and began to carry her out to the car. Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck. A slight blush appeared on his face but he hid it well.
Behind them the others were talking.
"Shippo why you go ahead with Kagome? We will be there in a moment," asked Sango.
"Ok," Shippo said cheerfully as he ran off towards the car.
"Inutaisho, have you noticed the way Inuyasha and Kagome have been acting toward each to each other lately?" asked Sango.
"Yes I have. A few weeks ago I had come back here to check up on Kagome and Inuyasha was all ready in there. So I decided not to walk in. As I was walking off I heard Inuyasha say something I couldn't believe," said Inutaisho.
"What?"
"He said he wouldn't let anything happen to her ever again. And the day we got Kagome out of that house....I had gone up to Kagome's room where Inuyasha had taken her to keep her safe and when I was about to knock I heard Kagome tell Inuyasha she loved him. After that she fell asleep and didn't hear Inuyasha's reply. He said he loved her as well."
"Oh my gosh! That is so sweet."
"Each of them have feelings for the other but only Inuyasha knows it because Kagome was sleeping when he gave his reply."
"We need to fix those two up all ready."
Sango was about to ask how they should go about it when they heard Inuyasha yelling from the car.
"Come on guys the car is running," Inuyasha yelled.
"We can talk about this later when we have the others here," stated Inutaisho.
Inutaisho and Shippo walked back to the car, got in and the group was off to their surprise destination. Before they got to far they blindfolded Kagome so she wouldn't see where they were going.
"What's this all about?" asked Kagome.
"We have a surprise for you and we don't want you to see it before we get there," replied Inuyasha.
Finally they arrived at the park and Inuyasha helped Kagome stand and get out of the car. Then they took the blindfold off.
"Surprise!" they all yelled.
Before Kagome was set a very large picnic party.
"Oh my gosh! You guys did this all for me. Thank you so much," squealed Kagome with the biggest smile possible on her lips.
They sat down and ate and played game and just had a really good time. Soon Inuyasha remembered his promise.
"Kagome, it is time to fulfill my promise. A walk through the park," Inuyasha said.
"Oh yeah, lets go," kagome said happily as she stood up.
Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and they began their walk through the park.
"Maybe we won't have to do anything to get them together after all," said Inutaisho.
After they had gotten a considerable distance into the park, Inuyasha said he had to show her something in the forest. Kagome nodded ans allowed herself to be lead into the forest. After a while a walking they came upon a beautiful water fall.
"Oh my. This is gorgeous," said Kagome.
"Yes it is," said Inuyasha who was looking at Kagome instead of the waterfall.
Kagome looked over into Inuyasha's violet eyes which held her gaze.
"Inuyasha, I have something to tell you. All those times I said I loved you before I feel asleep. I meant them," said Kagome.
"I know," replied Inuyasha, "and I mean this. I love you too Kagome."
Inuyasha pulled Kagome in closer and kissed her. Kagome got swept away in his long kiss. After a while they had to come up for air. They looked at each other again. At the love found in each other's eyes.
"Kagome, I have a question for you," said Inuyasha.
"Yes?" asked Kagome.
"Would you be my mate?"
"Yes Inuyasha. I would be honored to be your mate."
Again they kissed as the sun set behind them leaving sky behind them turning into a picturesque scene of reds, blues, purples, and pinks as the new couple shared their first kiss of their new life.
