Inuyasha stood there at the base of the tree looking at the hut and blinking. 'What!? I CAN'T love Kagome she was my shard detector! Yes thats right just a girl!' Inuyasha took deep breaths and calmed down walking into the hut like nothing was amiss and sat down. Kagome stole glanses at Inuyasha while helping Kaede pick herbs his ears twitched and he was looking out to the horison the light outlining his figure silver hair blowing gently in the breeze.

'I wish I could be a hanyou then I could stay with Inuyasha...but what about Kikyou?' she thought to herself 'I'll just ask him later...' "Well I think I'll go now." she smiled at Kaede "Maybe I'll wait another night to get my stuff. Good thing I left a sleeping bag here!" she smiled

"Whys that child?" Kaede asked

"Oh well its really nice outside today my as well enjoy the weather while it lasts!" and she turned around got her sleeping bag from the hut she walked to the Goshinboku and put her sleeping bag under it.

She started a fire and was cooking ramen she knew Inuyasha loved ramen and couldn't resist it...she really needed to talk to him about Kikyou.

"Hey Kagome you werent thinking about eating that ramen without me were you!" Inuyasha asked sitting down watching the ramen boil

"No of course not Inuyasha. Besides I need to talk to you about something. Something very important!" he looked up from the ramen

"Whats that?" she looked away and consentrated on the ramen

"I'll tell you after we eat." she replied he nodded in agreement. They ate silently just enjoying the quiet that wrapped itself around them Kagome was the first to break the quiet "Good ramen Inuyasha?" she asked he nodded and slurped down his last spoonful of ramen

"So what was that important thing you wanted to talk to me about?" he asked curiously. Kagome took a deep breath

"I wanted to talk to you about..." she held her breath and Inuyasha looked at her "Kikyou." she looked down Inuyasha was taken aback 'Kikyou? Why does she want to talk about her?'

"Uhhh...well you see right after you left she was at rest so she kinda...uh died." Kagome looked up with teary eyes

"I'm sorry I brought it up Inuyasha." he craned his neck to look at her

"Its fine Kagome over and done with. All she wanted was you out of the way. So shes not coming back but you are staying aren't you? You won't leave me here will you!" she smiled brilliantly and hugged him tightly

"No Inuyasha no I won't leave you I'll never leave you." he relaxed and hugged her back they stayed like that for a minute or two and then pulled apart Inuyasha gave her a little grin

"I'm glad Kagome..." he pulled her closer and put a featherlight kiss on her lips she blinked as if to find out if this was a dream only every time to open her eyes she saw Inuyasha grinning madly 'I'll get you back Inuyasha!' she smirked plain for all to see Inuyasha backed up a couple of steps and Kagome leaped on him they laughed rolling all the way down the hill they landed at the bottom looking up at the stars. Kagome sighed and curled up to Inuyasha his warmth radiating and scaring away the cold

"Inuyasha?"

"Yes Kagome?" she bit her bottom lip slightly

"Do-do you love me?"
