Angel Standing By

Chapter 12

Angel Standing By

All through the night I'll be standing over you? All through the night I'll be watching over you/And through the bad dreams I'll be right there, baby/Holding your hand, telling you everything is all right/ And when you cry, I'll be right there/Telling you/ you were never anything less than beautiful/ So don't you worry/ I'm your Angel Standing By.

"Where's the ramen?!" Inuyasha yells to the frantic Kagome.  She was running around the house trying to find everything she needed to go back to The Feudal Ages. 

"It's in the cabinet, third from the right!"  She calls while throwing her large yellow backpack over her shoulder.  She topples over, the weight of the backpack overthrowing her balance.  Inuyasha grabbed two bowls of ramen and hurried over to help Kagome up.  She blushed slightly, for now she knew his true feelings.

"Why are your cheeks turning red?"  Inuyasha questions innocently.

"No reason."

"Oh…I've seen your cheeks be red before and it was because you were embarrassed.  Are you embarrassed?"

"That sounded kinky."

"What's kinky?"

"I…It just sounded funny."

"Are you?"

"No."

"Then why?" He questions as they jump down the well.  Kagome smiles.

"Were you talking to me while I was sleeping last night?"  She asks.  Inuyasha's ears jerk strait up and he slightly blushes.

"Why would I do that?  You were sleeping."  He says forcefully as he helps her out of the bone-eating well.

"Tell me the truth."

"That would be dumb, you wouldn't be able to hear me."

"What if you just thought I was asleep and I could actually hear you?"

"But I wouldn't know you could hear me still."  He argues as they get closer and closer to the cabin.

"You talked to me last night."

"No I didn't."  He says while trying hard to hide the blush that was slowly taking over his face.   Kagome stops and puts her backpack on the ground.  The forest behind them was silent, only a few selective birds were singing. 

"Would you like me to tell you exactly what you said?"  She inquires.  Inuyasha's face flushes to the point that it nearly matches his kimono.

"Ok, I did talk to you." 

"Do you remember what you said?"

"No…"

"Well it started with—"

"Yes, I remember."  He interrupts, bowing his head to the ground.  The blush was beginning to leave his face, but he still felt overly heated.

"Well, I feel the same way."  Kagome says at last, her tail swaying and her dark ears twitching.  Inuyasha looks up at her and almost stops breathing.

"You do??"  He questions, unbelieving.  Kagome smiles then leans in and kisses him gently on the lips.  Inuyasha's white ears twitch relentlessly until she backs away.  Kagome smiles noticing the darkening blush on his face.

"Red suits ya!"

"Huh?"  Inuyasha says, hardly hearing her, let alone understanding what she was saying. Kagome shakes her head and smiles.

"Just shut up and kiss me."  She says stubbornly.  Inuyasha smiles, nods then leans in for the long awaited kiss just as the auburn sun disappears under the horizon, leaving golden-orange, red and deep purple flying across the sky.
