Kagome's Pov

My body shivers as I walk to the well house. I shake from fright. It seems that I am going to finally tell him the truth. I love Inuyasha and today he will know for ever more. I can only hope that this will go as in my favor. It is a warm day and the sky is blue. There are some clouds on the horizon though, and I feel like they are here to let me know that something can always go wrong.
Jumping into the well, that blue glow, which has almost become unfamiliar, surrounds me. When I climb out on the other side, I am surprised to find Inuyasha there. It has been a week since I have seen him. It is too soon and I find myself unprepared.
All the words that I have imagined myself saying desert me. He stares at me and I can tell that he feels the same as I do. Scared. He blinks at me and I know that he was getting ready to jump in and come to talk to me. I guess I beat him to it.
"Inuyasha." He cuts me off by pulling me into a tight hug. He holds my body close to his and I can feel his warmth. "Inuyasha, I, need to talk to you."
"I have to talk to you too Kagome, but first, I have to say this. I missed you Kagome. No matter what I say right now, I need you to know that I want to have you stay here."
This gave me nothing but courage. I stood back to look at him and his arms remained wrapped around my waste. "Inuyasha, I have waited to tell you this for such a long time. You have hurt me so much, but yet, hurt is not the only emotion I feel. I feel love as well. I. I love you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha looked at me and smiled. I have never seen him look at me like that before. It was so warm, so caring, so. loving. "I love you too Kagome." With that he leaned down and kissed me. The kiss was filled with sensation. Everything about it was passionate. The way his lips felt against mine, the way our tongues intertwined.
I pulled away and looked at him. He stared into my eyes. I stepped back and took a match from my pocket. It struck it on a nearby stone and it lit. Inuyasha looked worried and moved towards me. "Kagome, what are you doing? Give me the match." I smiled.
"No Inuyasha, it will be okay." I threw the match down and it quickly caught the grass on fire. The flames grew until they were all around Inuyasha and me. "I want these flames to burn my past until it's nothing. All I want is from this moment on."

*My right hand holds matches

My left holds my past

I hope the wind catches

And burns it down fast

I'm gonna step into the fire

With my failures and my shame

And wave goodbye to yesterday

As I dance among the flames So

Don't try to save me now

Let the walls of my world all burn down

Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes

And I will rise

From the ashes

From the ashes

From the ashes*

"What if you get hurt?" Inuyasha still looked worried. I leaned forward and whispered into his ear. "My own flames won't betray me. I will feel so much better after this is over and the fire is out."

*For all that I'm losing

Much more will I gain

The hard part is choosing

To change what needs changed

My step will be much lighter

With these demons off my chest

I'm born a better spirit

And lay the old to rest

Don't try to save me now

Let the walls of my world all burn down

Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes

And I will rise

From the ashes

From the ashes

From the ashes*

I heard a rumble, so did Inuyasha. We looked to the sky and rain began to pour down on us. The fire went out and smoke flew around us in the wind. Inuyasha picked me up in his arms and twirled around in the rain. Then we tumbled to the ground and he reclaimed my lips. That night, in the rain, he claimed me as his mate.

*I'll walk away stronger

I will be flying'

Higher and truer

Than I've flown before*

My dreams came true. No more worries, only love.
