"You'll Think Of Me" by Inu Faceness

Chapter Five: Your Everything

~*~Inu's POV~*~

I sat on the rough bark of the tree, just watching her. Her lips were moving in sync with the words to the song. I saw a solitary tear make its way down her slightly pink cheek as I heard the voice say 'when we try to make it work we both end up hurt.'

'Why is she crying?' I thought as I watched her. Her chest was rising with each breath and she curled onto her side as the song ended. I opened the window and sat on the sill. She didn't look at me.

"Inu Yasha, why are you here?" I heard the frustration in her voice, but it was hiding something that sounded like relief. Was she glad I was here?

"I just wanted to see you. I want to know, though. Why are you crying?" I think I said the wrong thing because next thing I know, I am being yelled at.

"Inu Yasha, I am crying because of you! Do you really feel nothing for me that you wouldn't know how hard your words hit me?" She sat on the edge of her bed, fists balled in rage. I did the only thing I knew of. I answered back with my own anger.

"Words that I SAID??? What the hell are you talking about? I didn't say anything to you!"

"No, Inu Yasha," she said, a little quieter. I was a little scared, I will admit. It wasn't good when Kagome was angry and talked quietly. "No, you didn't say it to me. But you did say nothing happened. Is it true? Did nothing really happen between us?"

I looked at her. How could she think nothing happened? "Kagome, I love you, that's what happened. I realized last night that I loved you!" My voice hadn't quieted. I was practically screaming. "I just don't know how to say it or deal with it!"

I stood there, staring at her. I was now in the middle of her room. She looked up at me and smiled. Her smile...My anger quickly dissipated and I kneeled before her with my head next to her. The soft blanket surrounded my face. After a few moments, I felt a hand on the top of my head, stroking my hair. I looked up.

~~The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
What I never felt with anyone else~~

Her stormy blue-gray eyes were sparkling. I gave her one of my rare smiles and I sat on my heels, watching as her smile grew larger.

"You should smile more," she whispered, reaching to caress my cheek. "You look cute when you do." I leaned into her touch. Kami, how I loved this woman. She was so caring. I moved so that my lips were on the palm of her hand. I kissed her skin.

~~I wanna give back what you've given to me
I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
I wanna be more than just a man~~

Kagome brushed her thumb against my skin. After all the hell I put her through, she was still with me. I wanna be there for her. I wanna be with her forever. I took her hand and removed it from my face. I leaned up to where I was eye level with her.

~~I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
Be the hand that lifts your veil
Be the moon that moves your tides
The sun coming up in your eyes~~

"Kagome," I whispered. She locked gazes with me and I could tell she was anxious about how close we were. I hadn't been this close besides yesterday. We were a mere few inches away from each other, but at that particular moment, I felt as close as ever.

"Yeah?" She gulped nervously. I smirked a little. 'I like this reaction,' I thought.

"Kagome, will you allow me to do something?" She looked at me, a little confused. "Can I be with you?" I said it so low that she could barely hear me, which I knew because of her delayed reaction. She sat there for a moment, apparently thinking of what I might have said.

~~Be the wheel that never rusts
Be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more
I wanna be your everything~~

She licked her lips in anticipation. She lowered her head. When she spoke, I had to strain my own advanced hearing to understand. "Yes, Inu Yasha."

I tilted her face up to mine. I saw a smile on her face and a tear in her eye. In retaliation, I smiled back. She had to suppress a happy laugh, but didn't do too well on it. "So, you'll let me be with you? Always? No matter what?" My voice was a little more hopeful than I wanted it to sound.

~~When you wake up I'll be the first thing you see
When it gets dark you can reach out to me
I'll cherish your words and I'll finish your thoughts
I'll be your compass, baby, when you get lost~~

She eagerly nodded and I closed the distance between us in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her waist. "I love you," I whispered, just so she would know it was true. I did, and she deserved to know at every available moment. Everything I had put her through, all the emotions and heartache, I just wanted to reassure her. "I love you, so much."

"And I you, Inu Yasha, kore kara zutto itsumademo." I pulled away a little and brought my lips mere centimeters away from hers.

"Kore kara zutto itsumademo, Kagome." I kissed her.

~~I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
Be the hand that lifts your veil
Be the moon that moves your tides
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheel that never rusts
Be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of and more
So much more
I wanna be your everything~~
