Last chapter. Thank you everybody who reviewed and I'll be returning to my other story after this.

Disclaimer::: You all are making me SO mad! I don't own Inuyasha!

Chapter 5

Inuyasha began to say something, but Kagome didn't want to here it. She stood up from her seat and put her hands over her ears.

"Please Inuyasha...... I don't want to talk about it. I know what you're going to say."

Kagome gasped as she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.

"Inuyasha..."

"Kagome... I know you don't want to talk about it, but if we don't talk about now, we might not ever talk about it."

"Inuyasha, I'm just afraid. I'm afraid that I'm never going to see my family again, and if I stay in the feudal era..."

"What?"

Kagome pulled herself away from Inuyasha.

"I'm afraid! I'm afraid that if I stay in feudal Japan just so I can be with the one I love, he's going to run off with Kikyo!"

Kagome fell to her knees and Inuyasha cringed.

'Kagome.... You love me? But I'd never....'

Inuyasha knelt down and held Kagome's chin lightly in his hand.

"That's what you're afraid of? Kagome! If I knew! If only I knew!"

"You did know..." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha gasped and pulled his hand back.

"If you didn't know we wouldn't be having this discussion. You wouldn't care if I went home and you wouldn't care that Koga likes me. Inuyasha... you hurt me every time you go after her. You know you do and that's why you hate it when I see you two together! Inuyasha I love you so much it hurts to think about! I hate to think I'll never see you again!"

Kagome began to sob and Inuyasha lowered his head.

"Kagome... It's just that...... Kikyo, was the firs human, or person since my mother, who I let get close to me. And then it all happened so fast. She was dead and I was pinned to a tree. Now, there's this amazing girl in my life and I have friends, and I...I... I can't get too close to them or... Naraku will kill them."

"But what if we defeat Naraku? Then what? Inuyasha, I know you don't want me to leave, but if I stay, and you go off to see Kikyo again... I won't have anywhere to go..."

"Kagome." Inuyasha reached out to her, but she pulled away from him.

"I feel like I'm in a never ending-fairy tale, and it's ending." Inuyasha once again tried to comfort but she turned her back on him. Inuyasha growled and grabbed her wrist.

"Kagome! Stop talking like that!"

"I'm just telling you the truth Inuyasha! You wanted to know, so I'm telling you Inuyasha!"

"Not so loud Kagome!" Kagome became extremely angry at this. She didn't want to leave Inuyasha. Ever. All of her sadness and anger built up and she began to scream.

"I don't care who I wake!" she screamed. "I love you SO much and it hurts to know you don't love me----!"

Inuyasha slammed his lips on Kagome's and she immediately shut up. They just sat there like that for what seemed like eternity. Finally Inuyasha released Kagome, and they just stared into each other's eyes.

"Kagome.... I do love you. It... it really hurts me too, when I know that I can't show it because of Kikyo and Naraku." Inuyasha stared at Kagome.

"I don't ever want to lose you Kagome. You're like a once in a life time opportunity."

"I know. It's because I can sense the jewels."

"No Kagome. That's not why. You are special. You're warm hearted; you have great friends, and a family. You're the nicest person I know." Inuyasha stood up and smirked. "Besides, if it wasn't for you, I would still be pinned to that stupid tree."

Kagome smiled as well and she stood up.

"Let's go inside and hit the hay."

"What?"

"Heh. Let's go to sleep."

Inuyasha smiled at her and they began to walk to the door.

'Kagome... I love you so much, and I feel like I'm a thousand pounds lighter because I've finally told you...'

Just as they reached the door, Inuyasha paused and faced Kagome.

"Huh. What are you---"

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's waist and crushed his lips against hers. When he released her she smiled and gasped.

"Just trying to show you how much I love you. No matter how bad I treat you in the future."

Kagome smiled and tweaked Inuyasha's ears.

"Happy birthday Inuyasha."

"It's been my best one."

I know the end was a little dramatic, but eh, I think it was okay. Well, now I'm going to take a break and probably continue my other stories
