Just to See Her Face

(Inuyasha's POV)
I was setting by a tree starring at the stars that cool, midsummer night. The wind blew a few of the strands of my now black hair in face. I let out a low growl at the sight of it. How I hated being human. My eyes then shot up, and I growled at the moonless sky. "Inuyasha?" I heard as I felt Kagome's soft hand touch my shoulder. I turned and looked her in her chocolate brown eyes. "Kagome?" I said as if shocked, even though I wasn't. "Is something wrong?" She asked, as she set down next to me. "No." I said, and I could feel Kagome glaring at me. "Lair," she said, staring at me with those big brown eyes. "Feh!" I snapped and quickly turned my head away crossing my arms. I opened my eyes, and looked down at her as I felt her lean her head on my shoulder. "Kagome?" I squeaked out in a meek voice. "Shhh, Inuyasha. Don't worry, I'll protect you." She said as she wrapped her arms around my waist. "Protect Me?!" I shouted causing her to jump, at the bold tone of my voice. "I don't need to be protected!" I carried on, and she let out sigh and just smiled me. "You'd better get some sleep tonight Inuyasha. Miroku and Sango said they'd stay up for you Ok?" She smiled at me. "Alright." I nodded, and followed back to the fire. "Ah, my man emerges from the darkness!" Miroku mocked me as I sat down next to him. "Lay any of your moves on the lady?!" He joked elbowing my arm. "Shut Up Miroku!" I shouted, and punched him in the back of the head. "Calm Down Inuyasha. Get some rest." He said and I just let out a grunt. "Don't you argue with us Inuyasha! SLEEP!" Sango barked at me, and it was followed by a long glare until I laid down. I closed my eyes, and for the first time in my life I slept. I slept. Now I don't just say this because I slept in my human form, but I think that was the first night I felt safe. I awoke the next morning to Shippo's whining, Miroku's antics, Sango's yelling, and Kagome's shining face. Aw life was good. "Good Morning Inuyasha." Was the first thing to come from Kagome, when she saw my now yellow eyes. I just smiled. "Well, let's go! We got Jewel shards to find people!" I said boldly, jumping to my feet. Kagome smiled at me, and then looked at the others. "Well come on everyone! Let's go!" She commanded and Miroku and Sango rose to their feet, with Shippo setting on Kilala's back.
We walked for hours, Miroku hitting on Sango, Sango Shooting him down, Shippo complaining, and Kagome's smile. Could things get any better? Of course they could! Naraku could be dead, and the Jewel could be ours! But it was as good as it was gunna get in a long time so I was happy. I was with them. With her. And as long as that held to be true I would be happy. That smile on my face would have never faded.............
