Chapter 6

Kagome sighed as she tied the sash around her waist. How could she think Inuyasha would come? It was too late anyway, he was probably still in the mountains. Sango stood in front of Kagome.

"Oh, you look beautiful." Sango said.

"Thank you Sango." Kagome sighed.

"What's wrong Kagome?"

"I.I don't want to marry Kouga. I want Inuyasha." Kagome fell into Sango's arms and began to cry. Sango patted her back and whispered.

"I have a plan. Come with me, and stay quiet." She led Kagome outside and into the woods. Inuyasha was waiting for her. He stared into the dark of her eyes.

"Ka.Kagome. You're beautiful." His eyes were sincere. Kagome ran to him and buried her face in his chest. She cried.

"Inuyasha, I waited and waited for you. I missed you so much." She cried into his chest. He could feel her warm tears start to seep into his clothes. He held her tightly. The moment of reunion was ruined by Kouga's voice.

"Kagome, I smelled you. What are you doing with that dog?" Kouga stood away from the two of them. He walked to towards them and pulled Kagome off. Kagome held Inuyasha's hand till she was pulled off. Inuyasha only stood there, staring at the ground. "Why don't you fight for her Inuyasha? Or why don't we make her decide?" He threw Kagome at the ground. Inuyasha growled and drew Tetsusaiga. He hadn't realized how close Kouga was, the tip was at his neck.

"I can't do it." Inuyasha said. "I can't kill Kouga Kagome. All the time I spent in the mountains, I thought about how violent I was. I don't want to be that way anymore. I'm sorry Kagome, but I can't." He put his sword back and stared at Kouga. Kouga smirked and walked off he pulled Kagome by her arm. She wouldn't get up. Kouga pulled harder, and dragged her with him. Inuyasha whispered. "When Kagome is in pain, I am in pain." He raised his voice. "This is for Kagome!" He pulled out Tetsuisiaga and stopped Kouga dead in his tracks. Kouga laughed. His tossed Kagome to the side.

"Well then, lets fight." Kouga grinned. Before Kouga could draw any sword, Inuyasha had him on the ground with Tetsusaiga at his throat. Kouga had fear in his eyes.

"Don't come near Kagome ever again, unless you don't value your life." Inuyasha lifted his sword. "I will not kill you, for Kagome is here and she wishes for you not to die. Leave now, and never come back." With that Kouga stood up, dusting off his clothes. He gave InuYasha a smug looked and walked off, his head hung low in defeat.

Kagome ran to Inuyasha and cried. Miroku went to Sango, handing her Kagome's rucksack. Sango and Miroku held each other as they watched Inuyasha and Kagome walk off deeper into the forest. "I missed you Kagome. I spent a lot of time thinking about you and Kikyo. The two of you are so similar. You're also so very different. Kikyo had wanted me to use the Shikon no Tama to be come a full human. She had wanted me to change. You don't want anything from me. I mean you want me to be happy with who I am. Demon or human, it doesn't matter to you. Therein lies the difference." Kagome reached into her kimono. She pulled out the fragment Kouga had given her. She put it Inuyasha's hand.

"Full demon or full human, it's your choice. Or stay the same. Have it, I don't want it." She smiled up at him. She kissed his cheek. She walked ahead of him, to a small lake in his home village. She took off the dirty kimono and dove into the water. Inuyasha watched her, careening through the water. She was gorgeous. She came out of the water, reached into her rucksack and pulled out a towel. She dried herself off and put on a pink shirt and shorts. She walked up to him. "I haven't worn these clothes for such a long time." She touched his face. She got up on her toes and kissed him, but went back down. Inuyasha leaned down and touched her face, kissing her.

*********************************************** Kagome was waiting by the well the following evening, waiting for it to open at any moment. Inuyasha had taken the last jewel shard to Kaede to use it. He wanted to be a full demon. Kagome sat there, recalling memories. The first time she saw him. She took the arrow out of him and revived him. Kagome wished the well would open up sooner so she wouldn't have to face youkai Inuyasha for a while. She sat on the edge of the well, with her hands supporting her and her legs stretched out. She sat looking at the sky.

She heard Inuyasha. She bent her knees back and looked down, she didn't want to see him as a whole demon. Tonight was the night of the new moon, but it didn't matter, he was whole demon now.

"Kagome." Inuyasha said. "Look at me Kagome." He knelt down and watched he face trickle with tears. Her eyes were shut. Inuyasha held her chin up. Her eyes were still closed. "Hey.look at me." She opened her eyes. A silver haired Inuyasha stared back at her. She stared at him for the longest time. Inuyasha brought her to her feet and held her tightly. "I love you Kagome." The sun set and his hair darkened black. He didn't change, he was InuYasha, that man she loved. She started crying on his shoulder.

"I love you Inuyasha." She said back. Inuyasha cried, for the first time ever he cried. She loved him, and he loved her. The well shimmered as it opened up. The two looked down. Kagome sighed. "Well, Inuyasha," she said, gazing into his dark eyes" Would you like to come home with me?"

"Of course." The lovers stood their embracing one another. The two souls were home with each other.
