A/N: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA.
Chapter 4: Realization
Kagome has almost healed completely and walked with Sango through the forest. Avoiding Inuyasha, Kagome was bent on finding the monster. She was unaware of Inuyasha trailing her at a distance.
The monster lurked in the shadows, unable to be sensed by Inuyasha. Sneaking up on Inuyasha, the beast execrated a lethal gas that made him fall over unconscious.
So, she's having bodyguards is she? Well too bad, they'll be of no use against me!
At that instant, Kagome and Sango decided to turn around and head back toward the hut. They stumbled upon the unconscious Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! What happened?" Kagome exclaimed as she knelt by him, but his eyes did not open.
Paralyzed by the toxin, Inuyasha heard Kagome but could not respond and warn her.
The creature silently attacked Sango in the same way as he attacked Inuyasha. Sango was looking for clues of what had happened to Inuyasha.
Looking around, Kagome spotted the monster and her blood froze in her veins. Standing protectively over Inuyasha, Kagome quickly strung her bow and unleashed it. It missed. The monster advanced as she frantically fired another arrow. The orb of power around the arrow glowed brightly as it rocketed toward the demon. Her aim thankfully true, the monster exploded. With the death of the creator of the paralysis, Inuyasha and Sango still didn't wake.
No! Sango, Inuyasha! I won't let you die. If my purification arrow worked on the youkai, then I must be able to heal you somehow. Please let this be!
Kagome dragged Sango over beside Inuyasha and sat down between them. Placing a hand above each of their hearts, Kagome purified the negativity on them, releasing them from the paralysis. Having spent all her energy and a lot of her soul in reviving them, Kagome collapsed with dizziness.
Sango and Inuyasha woke to see Kagome lying between them. Though unable to move, they had been able to see through the monster's eyes. They were amazed at Kagome's absolute strength, bravery, and power.
"Sango, go on back to the village an get some rest. I'll take Kagome back."
"All right," Sango reluctantly agreed. "She told me what you were doing in the forest that day with Kikyou. Kagome deserves the best, Inuyasha. She deserves care. Don't hurt her."
"I know, Sango. I'll take care of her." Inuyasha had already guessed that they knew of the happenings with Kikyou.
Sango left and Inuyasha picked Kagome up. He carried her to a niche in a big tree and sat down with her drawn onto his lap. "Wake up Kagome. I need to talk to you."
As if hearing Inuyasha's words, Kagome stirred in his lap. Her eyes opened to see his golden yellow ones. She blushed a deep crimson at finding herself situated on his lap and all anger towards him dissipated.
Having already thought about it for a long time and reorganized his priorities, Inuyasha spoke. "Aishiteru (I love you), Kagome," he stated bluntly.
Kagome stared mouth agape. Did I hear wrong?
"Kagome, Gomen (Sorry). I promise I'll never go to Kikyou again. You are my woman and not Koga nor anyone else will steal you away from me. Mammote ageru (I'll protect you)."
"Do you mean that Inuyasha? Are you just saying that because you hate Koga? Do you really love me?" Kagome spoke softly.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm lying?" Inuyasha asked aggressively. Kagome stood up and so did Inuyasha. They stood face to face, each becoming angrier at the other and stepping closer and closer.
"Should I have reason to think you lie?" countered Kagome heatedly.
Before Inuyasha could answer, Kagome leaned the last inch and kissed him on the lips.
Kami in heaven, I can't believe I just did that! He's probably going to push me away now.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, eyes widening in wonder. Her lips feel as soft as rose petals. Her kiss is so sweet and hesitant, giving, not taking. I can't live without her. How come I didn't see this before!
Inuyasha pulled Kagome up against his body and kissed her back. As a reflex, Kagome's hands gently rubbed his ears as his arms tightened around her waist.
She feels so fragile. Ahhh. That feels good. She's rubbing my ears. Ummm.
He's holding me! **sigh*
They broke apart from their embrace and kiss and gazed at each other. Simultaneously, they said, "I love you." (Sweet moment of realization. Finally! Hehehe!)
"Why did I see you kissing Koga?" Inuyasha said suddenly.
"When did I kiss Koga? What are you talking about Inuyasha?" Kagome queried confusedly.
"I saw you and Koga kissing that day you were attacked." (Yeah Inuyasha, and notice that after you pushed them apart, Kagome was UNCONSCIOUS!)
"Inuyasha, how can you say that? The only person I kissed that day was you. I haven't seen Koga for ages. Besides, I fell unconscious after you picked me up and kissed me." Kagome replied in a hurt voice. (Hello…Kagome! Don't you remember that you had only assumed it was Inuyasha?)
"Did you mean that kissing Koga meant nothing?"
"I'm telling you Inuyasha, I've never kissed Koga before! Why don't you believe me?"
"I saw you kiss him Kagome." Wait. She wasn't conscious after the kiss, so she mustn't have been in her right mind during the kiss. That means she truly loves me because she imagined Koga was ME! Hahaha! I win over Koga at last! (Inu, didn't you know that Kagome only had eyes for you?)
"Can't we just forget this?" Kagome said as she wanted to be in his arms and not bickering.
To her surprise, Inuyasha said, "Alright Kagome."
Seven years later.
"Can't catch me!" a dark haired, little girl shouted to her brother.
"Wait Sango! Wait for me!" the little, silver-haired, dog-eared boy yelled.
"Come now Sango, don't leave your brother behind." Kagome said lovingly.
"Kagome, let them play. It's just a game!" Inuyasha commented, an arm wrapped lightly around Kagome's shoulders.

Seven years later, little Inuyasha and his elder sister Sango are playing. Little Inu has inherited his father's demonic aspects as Sango has inherited Kagome's human looks. Sango has Inuyasha's personality, and little Inu has Kagome's gentle character.
