Chapter 16

Kagome's eyes widened, " What did you say?"

" I said that I love you Kagome. I love your smile, your voice, I even like the look you give me when we are arguing. I love everything about you and I just hope you feel the same way."

Kagome looked at him even more surprised. She then walked towards him until their faces were inches apart. Kagome went on her toes and leaned in and brushed her lips against his. Inuyasha stood there speechless. Had Kagome just kissed him or was he just dreaming.

" Does that answer your question?" she asked gently. Inuyasha stood in his spot in silence. Kagome realized he wasn't saying anything, " Inuyasha are you okay?" Inuyasha remained silent.

" Kagome... I."

" I love you too Inuyasha," she said softly. Inuyasha began kissing her roughly. His arms wrapped around her waist while Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck. He began to rub his hands up and down her back but stopped and pulled away from Kagome. Kagome was painting heavily and touched her lips, which were slightly red.

" What's wrong?" she asked as his ears began twitching. He rolled his eyes.

" You guys can come out now," Inuyasha said. Sango then came running towards them and gave Kagome a hug. She did the same for Inuyasha. Miroku came out happily.

" What are you guys doing here?" Kagome asked.

" We saw what you did to Kikyo. So we decided to follow you and see if you were okay but Inuyasha had already beat us to it," Sango said.

" And Inuyasha said those words, ' I love you'," Miroku added.

Inuyasha growled, "I'M GONNA GET YOU PERVERT!" Inuyasha took off at full speed chasing after Miroku. The girls just watched on.

" Guys are so immature," Sango said. They weren't even going far because they were running in circles.

" Can we go home now?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha lay in his bed a day later looking up at the ceiling. He still couldn't get those words that Kagome had said and she kissed him too. They were officially a couple now. Inuyasha knew there were going to be a lot of people who would try to break them up but he wasn't going to let them, no matter what!

" Inuyasha wake up!" yelled a voice.

" I'm coming!" he yelled back. He put on his uniform and headed downstairs to the kitchen. His half brother Sesshoumaru was already sitting at the table eating. Inuyasha said nothing and grabbed some toast and his bag and headed out the door. He and his half brother never seemed to get along well. Sesshoumaru always teased him about being a hanyou. Sometimes they actually had a conversation without insulting each other but that rarely happened.

Inuyasha continued walking and stopped by the shrine steps, which lead to Kagome's house. He stood there for a while before he saw Kagome rushing down the steps.

" Hi Inuyasha!" she greeted. She continued running down the steps quickly. She was running so fast that she lost her footing but Inuyasha had already caught her.

" You okay?" he asked. Kagome smiled and gave him a peck on his lips before standing up strait. Inuyasha was blushing a deep red. Even though they were a couple he was still not used to how Kagome showed her affection towards him.

" I'm great," she said and entwined her hands with his, " But I have to talk to you about something."

" What?"

" I don't think I want to tell you in front of my house," she said. The two walked in silence for a while until they arrived at the school. Kagome took a deep breath and walked inside the halls with Inuyasha.

In no time at all the bell had rung for literature class. Inuyasha and Kagome walked in holding hands. People stared and whispered. Kagome saw Kikyou sitting hunched down with a bandage over her nose. Her eyes shot up though when she saw the couple holding hands. Kagome sat down in her seat and could feel Kikyou's eyes on her back. She ignored the girl and looked strait ahead.

" What are you doing holding MY Inuyasha's hand?" Kikyou growled. Kagome turned around with a smirk on her face.

" What's it to you bandage face?" Kagome asked.

" It was because of you I'm wearing this."

" Oh did I break your nose?"

Kikyou nodded.

" Good," replied Kagome and turned around as soon as the teacher entered.

From the other side of the room Inuyasha stared at the raven-haired beauty. (Not Kikyou Kagome!) He had been thinking about her since he had woken up. He still couldn't believe Kagome was his girlfriend and that kiss. It was his first one ever and it was with the person he loved the most. Inuyasha was cut short of his thoughts when the teacher called him.

" Inuyasha!"

" Huh?"

" I asked what is the main theme in the book but I guess you wouldn't know that because you're too busy staring at Mrs. Higurashi."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome to see her smiling at him. Kikyou was just glaring at Kagome and flipped her hair, hoping that Inuyasha would notice but his eyes were fixed on the girl.

" I will get you back for this Higurashi," she mumbled under her breath before fixing her gaze back towards the board.

Kagome sat down on the bench with her lunch. She looked at Sango who was smiling mischievously.

" So I wanted to tell you guys and girl that I'm inviting you to dinner on Friday. I really want you all to meet my family. Could you all come?" Kagome asked.

" Sure," said Sango.

" Yeah," said Miroku.

"Yep," replied Inuyasha.

Miroku then leaned by Inuyasha's ears, " So man tell me is Kagome a good kisser?"

Inuyasha turned a bright red, " None of your business!"

" Whatever you say lover boy," Miroku said. Inuyasha growled and punched Miroku on his head to shut him up.

Inuyasha then began sniffing and turned around to see Kikyou standing before him. She hugged him fiercely, " Inu baby! I missed you."

" LET HIM GO NOW!" Kagome yelled. Kikyou turned to Kagome and smirked.

" Why?" she asked.

" Because Inuyasha is my boyfriend!" Kagome yelled. Kikyo's eyes widened at the girl's words. Inuyasha pulled away from her and gently kissed Kagome on the lips making sure Kikyou was looking. Kikyou became angry and stomped away. Everyone started laughing.

" Did you see her face?" asked Sango.

" She looked like she was about to explode!" added Miroku.

Kagome's face became serious, " I don't think that is the last we've seen from her." She mumbled to herself.
