sorry it's taken so long for an update... had to do that dance stuff and now there's the whole senior-at-the-end-of-the-year crap. i'm really trying though, for what that matters. writing this as we speak, so here's hopin' that i don't make another cliffy and irritate people again =). though this may be shorter than you all would have liked... since i started this, i've qualified for the state choir competition, so that's kind of been added to the list of too much as well.
nimerin: thanks for your review(s). i'm pretty much a night person myself, they just don't have the option of taking high school classes that late... at least not around here -_-;;. six in the morning is too early for ANY teenager, let alone a seventeen-almost-eighteen year old one. but, here's your update... finally =).
elbe: haha, i'm ahead of you, by far. and that evanescence story might come about as well. i know about time constrictions and whatnot, but i just felt the need to say this. love ya anyway though ^_^;;.
Chapter Seven: Which of us Do You Love?
Kagone heard these words and her relaxation was taken away a little. She felt sweat forming on her face, yet smiled it all off and walked with Inuyasha away from everyone - hopefully. As they made their way near the waterfall, they checked behind them often to make sure that they didn't have any unwanted listeners this time. Once there, and upon seeing that the coast was clear, Inuyasha started.
"Now that they're gone, what was that kiss about?!"
"I don't know, it just happened! I felt myself move into it, but I don't remember telling myself to do so... or telling myself not to do so..."
"So you're telling me that you had some sort of out of body experience that made you kiss me?"
"I guess, though it might not have been entirely out of body..."
Inuyasha stopped the pacing that he had started in an out of body experience of his own. He looked at his feet as if to scold them, and sat down next to Kagome. He consciously put an arm around her, though was cautious in doing so as he didn't want to be 'sat'. She leaned into him and continued on.
"What are we?"
"I'm a hanyou and you're a hu-"
"You know what I mean, Inuyasha."
'I knew he was going to be difficult, but sheesh! Maybe he doesn't know about dating terms, or maybe there are different ones in his time. I suppose now would be as good a time as any to find out.'
Kagome moved from him and looked into his amber eyes and internally swooned. That would never get old for her. She knew what she wanted to say, she just didn't know how to say it to him. In the meantime, Inuyasha looked at her, trying to figure out exactly what she might have meant.
'She's wrong, I have no idea what she's talking about. I just wanted to talk to her about being my mate... if she would. I don't know what to think right now... c'mon Inuyasha, you can do this. break the silen-'
"Inuyasha, do you know what 'dating' is?"
"..No, I don't. But Kagome, I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it, Inuyasha?"
Standing, Inuyasha backed away from Kagome a little bit. He still wasn't sure what to say to her, or how to even bring it up. If only they had known how confused each of them were.
"Kagome I... um... dammit!"
She watched him start pacing again, fighting with himself out loud. Randomly she heard him call himself an idiot and say "Just say it already!", wondering what could be so hard for him to get out. It's not as if they hadn't been through a lot together, and to be honest they were basically going out by modern standards. Only, he didn't know that.
"KagomeIwantedtoaskifyouwanttobemymate. There, I said it. Hah."
"..What?"
"..And that's how I thought you'd react."
He went to run away, but Kagome quickly stood up and rested a hand on his shoulder. She felt a tension she hadn't really felt before when she'd gone to do that in the past. Sure, he'd been plenty tense when she'd gone to hold him back from attacking Kouga or after a battle, but not randomly like this. Though seconds later, she felt him relax totally. All thoughts of running away ceased, and he turned around to face her again.
a/n: and that's about all that i can come up with... hell, i wrote this a few weeks ago, actually. i've had a whole lot going on, and right now isn't the best time to be writing this. that and the fact that i haven't been able to watch inuyasha and really get into characters for... a long time now. gasp worthy, no? i've had a bit too much to think about aside from this. when i started it was merely this and school work, but now there's graduation and college and finding a job and spending time with friends who will be leaving and... yeah. sorry it's taken so long to get even this much.
