Chapter 4
"Fine, yes I'm a virgin, I've never mated before in my life. Geez I've only been kissed once and I didn't even want it to happen."
"Mated? Interesting choice of words. Anyway, one last question, Do you love her?"
"........."
"Well, Do you?"
"Um.....I....."
"Yuka! That's enough, leave him alone. I don't care if he loves me or not, as long as he lets me stay by his side, I'm happy." Kagome turned around abruptly and started to walk back toward class.
Yuka leaned over so Inuyasha was the only one that could hear her. "You know, she really does care if you love her or not."
"I know,..... One thing I learned while traveling with her is she tries to hide her emotions except her anger. I guess we're more alike then I thought." Inuyasha started to follow after Kagome.
"Is there more to their relationship then they're telling us?" Yuka asked Sango and Miroku as they too started to follow Kagome and Inuyasha.
"You know, we've thought the same thing a time or two." Miroku stated as he trailed behind his friends, deep in thought.

"Kagome, wait up. I have something to ask you." Inuyasha caught up to her and grasped her hand lightly in order to stop her. She turned and looked up at him with curious eyes. "I was hoping you could come with us after school today and I could explain what's going on."
Kagome saw the hope that was glistening from his eyes and even if she wanted to, she couldn't refuse his request. "Of course Inuyasha, have I ever rejected anything you've asked for."
Inuyasha glared at her with annoyed eyes. "Yes! Every time I asked you to stay with me instead you would go and jump threw the well."
"Oh ya, sorry." She started to giggle at the expression on his face. He looked like he wanted to laugh with her and at the same time yell at her. "Well let's get to class. The sooner we finish out today, the sooner you can satisfy my curiosity." She smiled happily at him as she pulled him threw the crowded halls back to the classroom.

Later that day Inuyasha was walking with Kagome, holding tightly onto her hand, Sango and Miroku following close behind. Surprisingly they had only heard one *Slap* come from the two as they walked in the same direction as Kagome's house. They stopped about a block from the shrine in front of an apartment complex.
Kagome stared up, at the quaint little 3 story building. 'Cute building, very homey, but why are we here.'
"This is where we live. Each of us have our own apartment. Let's go up and we'll explain what we can." Inuyasha led her threw the French styled doors to the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor after Sango and Miroku entered.
Kagome was led down the hallway and shown where each of their apartments were. Inuyasha's was at the end of the hall, Miroku's was on the right of Inuyasha's and Sango's was on the left. "Well that makes it convenient."
"Tell me about it. It saved us the trouble of looking for each other. Well let's go in so we can talk." Inuyasha unlocked his door and stepped aside to let Kagome in. Sango and Miroku said they would be right back and went to their respected apartments. Inuyasha closed the door and followed Kagome.
Kagome looked over the apartment. She first saw the kitchen that was to her left, with a round table and two chairs next to the door. She walked in a little further, she saw a large sectional couch on the far left wall. Kagome then noticed he had a sliding glass door. She walked over and looked at the view.
"You can see my house. Inuyasha.....have you been spying on me." She gave him a sly grin, then continued to look around. There were several plants around the room and a few small dog knick knacks, 'Fitting for a dog youkai.' She noticed two doors on the opposite wall from the kitchen and living room. She walked over to the door closest to her and peeked in. It was his bedroom, , not much in there but a dresser, nightstands, a king sized bed and a few more plants. 'What does he need a king sized bed for.' Kagome blushed a deep red as her imagination started to run away from her.
"Kagome if you're finished blushing, why don't you sit on the couch. Sango and Miroku should be here in a moment, I'll make some tea while we wait." Inuyasha started to grab some cups when he felt a presence behind him. He turned and saw Kagome was standing directly behind him, extremely close.
Kagome stared up into his panicked violet eyes. She reached up and traced a fingernail a crossed his cheek. "Answer me on quick question before they get here. Why did you 'cross time' as you put it, to be with me?" She had a serious expression on her face and yet there was longing and curiosity.
"Do you remember what you said yesterday, just before you left?" Inuyasha noticed the stunned look upon her face and knew she did. "Now, unless you were talking about that lecherous monk, and I doubt it, you said you love me." Inuyasha then trailed a clawed finger down her cheek and cupped her face in his hand. "Aside from my parents, you are the only one that has truly loved me, for who I am. After you left, I realized I would never see you again and that my feelings for you were mutual. Kagome, we spent the last 2 1/2 years masking our feelings and we nearly lost each other cause of it. When you jumped threw the well for the last time, it broke my heart, I don't ever want to feel that again. Promise me! Promise you'll never leave me again, no matter what!"
"I promise." It was barely a whisper as it was spoken just centimeters from his lips.
"Hey guys what's going on." Miroku's voice echoed threw the apartment as they heard the door open and close.
Inuyasha and Kagome parted and tried to act normal despite the dark red tint on both their cheeks.
A quiet meow got Kagome's attention. "Kirara, your here too." Kagome opened her arms as the fire cat leapt into her waiting arms. "Oh ya I meant to ask you guys earlier, what about Shippo, is he here too." Kagome noticed the forlorn looks upon her friend's faces. "You didn't leave him behind did you?"
"Fine, yes I'm a virgin, I've never mated before in my life. Geez I've only been kissed once and I didn't even want it to happen."
"Mated? Interesting choice of words. Anyway, one last question, Do you love her?"
