Chapter Six

Frozen

Inuyasha awoke to find Kagome curled around him and the full Shikon no tama mysteriously beside him.

I don't ever want this to end...

Summoning his courage, Inuyasha slowly bent down, and, lowering his face to Kagome's, placed a light kiss on her lips.

Kagome stirred in her sleep, but did not awaken, and Inuyasha, not quite sure if he wanted her to awaken or not, began to kiss her more deeply.

The room began to glow, a deep magenta, and pulsate with soothing energies emanating from the Shikon no tama.  Slowly, Kagome awakened, to find herself lip locked with Inuyasha.

"Wha... what???"

To Inuyasha's surprise, Kagome pushed away.

"Kagome… there's something I need to tell you…  I'm sorry for the fight yesterday morning…  I… I really do care about you.  No… No that's not it...  Kagome, I love you!"

Kagome was completely taken aback by this sudden display of emotion, and, not knowing how to respond, she simply hugged Inuyasha to her, and kissed him again.

Again, she broke apart, this time to say, "I was so afraid that you hated me… after our last fight.  I love you too Inuyasha… I always have… I just… wouldn't say anything.  I always thought you didn't think about me.  That it was all about Kikyo.  So I kept my feelings from everyone, even myself."

"Kagome… I'm so sorry I made you worry…  I'll never do it again.  I'll never leave you again," and Inuyasha, never wanting to leave her again, placed one last kiss on her lips, and, taking the Shikon no tama, made a wish that they be frozen together in time, forever in each others arms.

The Shikon shard glowed more violently, and then let out a burst of white light.

After the light drained from the room, Inuyasha and Kagome were no more.  In there place was a stone statue.  Inuyasha's wish came true; he and Kagome would be locked in an eternal kiss.

***

Kagome started from her sleep, to find it had been yet another dream.

Why am I having all these strange dreams?  Well, that last one wasn't too bad…  Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen Inuyasha look so peaceful.  Would it be terrible if part of my dream came true?

After debating with herself, Kagome decided to go for it, and, slowly, she lowered her mouth to Inuyasha's, and kissed him.


More author's note: Hehe, sorry for the short chapter guys, I promise the next one will be out soon, I just couldn't justify putting these two chapters into one.  Thanx too everybody who reviewed my fic so far, and please… don't kill me for the opening… It was a dream… JUST a dream!  Oh, one last thing, for those of you who feel like looking, I added a paragraph to the beginning of chapter three, it should clear up a lot of comments I've been getting about Kagome's first dream.
