Ch.1:: It's not what you think- Only you hold my heart.

A light breeze fluttered through Feudal Japan, rustling the Sakura branches faintly. An almost perfect silence could be heard for miles about the beautiful scenery until-

"OSUWARI!"

-Thump- "Kuso!"

A pretty young woman-child could be seen running from a seemingly hurt guy as he writhed on the floor, acting as if he couldn't get up.

"Baka Inu!" Kagome tossed the playful insult over her shoulder as she dashed for the well. Nearing her 18th birthday, Higurashi Kagome certainly had grown up from the thin 15 year old she'd been when first introduced to this world. Long, shimmering black hair cascaded down her back to pass her waistline. No longer wearing her old school uniform, she dressed today in dark jean hip-huggers, a light pink tank top, and tan Timberlands on her feet. A black Adidas bookbag replaced her old, bulky bag, and she no longer had a bike at all. As she nears the well, a grinning reddish-white streak could be seen flying past her, to halt a few feet in front.

-Sighs- "InuYasha, I need to go home."

An annoyed Inu-Hanyou stood, blocking her from the well. His gruff voice replied-

"NO! Dammit Kagome, you just got back from taking those tests! You're NOT leaving again!"

Kagome rolled her eyes and cracked her neck with one hand; a habit she seems to have picked up over the years she'd been in this Era. InuYasha's temper automatically dropped a few levels- Hey, it wasn't his fault she was so darn cute when she did it! Kagome leaned back on the God Tree, closing her eyes, knowing that InuYasha wasn't going to like what she would say.

"Inu-chan," She replied softly, using her pet name for him, "Firstly that was three days ago," she smirked, imagining his facial expressions, "and secondly, that's not why I'm going back."

A low growl could be heard, coming forth from the throat of a now extremely pissed off Hanyou.

-InuYasha's POV-

*What?!?! But...that's the only reason why she leaves us...me...Does this mean she's seeing someone else?* He growled subconsciously at the thought. *NO! My Kagome! She wouldn't do that...would she? Did I do something wrong, something to make her want someone new? Is she disgusted to be with a Hanyou like this?* His knuckles cracked from his annoyance, his anger; his fear. Fear that his Kagome would leave... Him. He didn't even notice her look down worriedly at his hands, then back up at his face.

            "Why do you have to go back then Kag? Going to see someone else? Am I not good enough?"

-Normal POV-

Kagome shot back up, standing straight. Looking him in the eye, she rested a palm on his shoulder. She could see plainly his feelings in his eyes, even though he tried vainly to hide them from her. Jealousy, Hurt, and Failure for what he'd worked for. She walked over and hugged him, understanding what he was going through. Resisting at first, he soon melted against her, molding himself against her. They stood this way, embraced as if not wanting to loose the moment.

-Kag POV-

            As she hugged him, she thought over his reaction, and berated herself mercilessly in her mind for wording it as so. She supposed that he still didn't believe that she was truly happy with him now. She smiled at the irony. She herself had thought he'd have been more content with Kikyou; his undead ex-lover from when he was younger- before the pincushion moment with the tree.

*~*~Flashback~*~*

            Kagome sat on InuYasha's lap, on a higher limb of the God Tree, his chin resting on her shoulder, eyes closed, as she petted his ears lightly. He purred- something he didn't mind as long as it was just her or their friends around.

            She was confused, mulling over what had happened last week. Mostly on her mind was one big word~ *Why?!?!*

            InuYasha sighed, opening his eyes and looked at her. One of his fingers traced lazy patterns on her arm as he watched her. "What is it?" He inquired, a brow raised in question.

            She shrugged uncomfortably and looked away. "It's...I...well...IDUNNO! Some stuff's bothering me," she said, quite frustrated.

            "Then tell me about it."

            "No."

            He growled slightly. "...and why not?"

            "...'Cause it's stupid and I don't want to."

            He poked her in the side insistently. "Tell me or I'll call you 'it'."

            "Leave me be or I'll say 'it'."

            He looked over at her, hurt. Leaning back, he said, "Feh. Whatever." He was back to 'normal', his gruff, annoying, fronting attitude. She leaned back on his chest.

            "I don't want to tell you because I don't want you angry with me." She looked away, watching the autumn leaves fall gracefully. Suddenly, he blew in her ear- hard.

            "HEY!"

            "I wont get mad at you, wen...Kag. You know that, right?" he glanced at her worriedly. It was her turn to poke him now.

            "Uhn! What was that for?"

            -Poke pokes Poke-

             "Hey! Stop it!"

            "Feh. Going to tell me, or am I goin' to have to 'poke' it out of ya?"

            "Ratfink."

            "Huh?"

            -Sighs- "Alright, I'll tell you, but you're not aloud to leave before/after I'm done."

            "Feh! Who says?"

            She smirked at him. *Sometimes he's too kawaii for his own good...* Sobering, she looked down at her hands, to see two larger, clawed hands engulf hers reassuringly. She could clearly remember when this simple act would have been impossible, and took strength from it.

            "You remember when Naraku...err...caused problems?" She felt him stiffen a little behind her.

            "Yea. What about it?"

            She shifted uncomfortably, trying to put her thoughts into words.

            -Fidget Fidget-

            "...Would you just say it?!" InuYasha exclaimed, exasperated. "You act like I'm going to eat you or something!"

            Kagome giggled at the mental picture.

            "Alright...alright, Why did you...well...when she...-Sighs- When she told you to choose...why me? Wouldn't you be happier with her?" She looked down, seemingly captivated with counting grass blades. She whispered, "...or did you stay from pity? Go where you'd be happy InuYasha."

            She felt him sigh, his breath blowing her hair around her shoulders slightly. Suddenly she was lifted up, to now be sitting across from him to where he could see her face clearly.

            "I'm only ever saying this once Kag, so please listen. I am here. I didn't stay here for 'pity', and I'd never be happier anywhere else. I'm never leaving. Ever." He swept her into his arms, hugging her tightly against him. She could hear him inhale as he rested his head where her neck met her shoulder. "I love you Kagome."

            Tears formed in her eyes- She would doubt him no longer.

            "I love you InuYasha, always."

*~*~Zap Back To Reality~*~*

            "InuYasha, I'm only ever going to tell you this once, and never again, so listen." She felt him grin slightly, and relax. "I love you. Only you hold my heart. Yes, I am going back for someone else, but it's not what you think. I'd never do that to you."

            She heard him growl again.

            "Then who are you going for?"

            "...My sister."

Done! Lol. I'm trying for a longer Ch. 2...but first I need reviews!

InuYasha: Yes, she's a total Review Bitch!
