A one shot...because I had this little random idea in my head and had to set it loose! A tad short but... I hope you like it, anyway ^^;;

..::Wishing to be with You::..

((For my friend and classmate, Vn-sama)) ... ...

The stars in the night sky were bright and twinkling with life in the distance of the dark sky.

Kagome sat under a tall tree. She was curled up in InuYasha's warm embrace. The two were both star-gazing that night, enjoying each other's company in the process. The crickets chirped their secret songs, and after a few minutes, a few more stars burst out into the world, just like fireworks.

InuYasha rested his chin over Kagome's head and closed his eyes. They remained closed until Kagome said, "Hey, InuYasha."

He opened his eyes and glanced at the girl to show he was paying attention to nothing but her. "What?" He answered somewhat quietly.

"If you had a wish, what would you wish for?" Kagome's question was a pretty practical one, but it suited the moment nicely.

Pressing the girl closer to him, InuYasha answered without hesitation, "My wish would be...to be with you. Forever." Those words brought a smile to Kagome's lips. They sounded so sweet when coming from him. She hugged him and giggled happily.

"What if you had another wish? What would it be?" She asked again, fingering his silvery strands of hair in her slender fingers playfully.

"Probably to become a full youkai and be the most powerful..." He trailed off, thinking more deeply about his second wish, not really sure if that was what he wanted anymore.

"You mean...You want to take over the world?" Kagome inquired, looking into his eyes.

"...Either that or an endless supply of those noodles in a cup." InuYasha's eyes glazed over. Kagome could JUST imagine him thinking, 'Mmm, I like nooooodles.'

"What would you do if you were in control of the world?" It was the hanyou's turn to surprise her with a question. It ALMOST sounded as if he cared...If he cared.

"Easy! If I were Supreme Ruler of the world...I would..." Kagome paused, making InuYasha wait for it impatiently. "...I would give the world to you."

Eyes widening, InuYasha smiled, a real smile. "Arigatou, Kagome..."

"Anything for you, InuYasha..." Kagome leaned on his shoulder, sighing contently.

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the sky, shining brighter than all the rest of the stars. It was silent for a while, then Kagome spoke once again.

"But you know InuYasha...You wouldn't have to wish to be with me forever...Because I'll always want to be with you."
