Chapter 8: Deep Feelings
Kagome and Inuyasha set out to the middle of the forest where they could discuss everything that they felt to each other. They stopped in front of the God Tree. That was the place where they first met.
Kagome walked up to the tree and caressed the area where Inuyasha was stuck sleeping on the tree with an arrow. Inuyasha walked up behind her and placed his hand on top of hers. Kagome turned to face him.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome began. She hesitated. 'What am I even going to say?' She thought to herself.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked her, almost whispering. Kagome turned her back on him and the tree. She held her hands together in front of her chest, to her heart. A gust of wind blew by. Her hair fluttered to the side in the direction it was going.
"I don't really know." Kagome said, almost laughing. She closed her eyes and turned her head downward. "I know that I need to talk to you. And I want to talk to you. But I just have know idea about what."
"Kagome..." Inuyasha began. He walked up behind her and she turned to face him. "I... I just don't know either."
"Inuyasha..." She hesitated. "About what happened earlier..." Kagome looked up to him and their eyes met. A blush crept along both of their faces.
"Kagome, we don't have to do this..." Inuyasha began but was interrupted.
"I don't like Koga at all." Kagome said. "There is only one person that I would ever consider liking... let alone kissing..." A deeper scarlet flushed their cheeks.
"Kagome, I feel the same way!" Inuyasha admitted. He realized he revealed more than he had intended to, and he quickly turned away. Kagome took his chin and turned his face back to hers.
"Inuyasha, don't look away from me." Kagome said sternly. "I thought that... I thought that you still loved Kikyou." Kagome stated. She then turned away from him.
"No. Kikyou is something of the past. She's dead. I shouldn't love someone who's not real anymore." He then took her chin and turned her back to face him. "Kagome, don't look away from me." He said. They smiled.
Kagome snuggled her face into his chest. He caressed her now, long, black, beautiful hair. That's when he realized something.
"Kagome..." He began. "Tomorrow night I become human." Kagome looked up at him.
"I love it when you're human. Although, I like you better when you're a hanyou." They both smiled again.
Inuyasha studied the raven-haired girl. She didn't have her normal "school" clothes on right now. Her shoes were just her regular ones. She had long socks that trailed up above her knees. They were a little longer than her other ones. She had on a skirt like the ones she usually had on. It was pleated but it wasn't green. It was a deep blue. Her shirt stopped above her belly button. Defiantly something that would be considered "unladylike" in the feudal era. The sleeves stopped at her elbows, and the neck on it went down to her...
'Oh God... I need to get away!' He thought to himself and turned away from her, blushing madly.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome touched his shoulder lightly. He jumped back in response. "Is there something the matter? What is it?" Kagome began to panic.
"It's nothing Kagome." Inuyasha said, still turned away from her. 'I can't stand to look at her while she's dressed like that. She's just so... attractive. Why does she have to wear a shirt that goes down to... there!' He yelled inside his head. Kagome marched up in front of him before he could look away from her.
"What's wrong?" Kagome almost yelled at him. "You can talk to me, don't you know that?" Inuyasha was about to respond when he looked down. 'Oh my God! I just looked down her shirt!' He scolded himself and looked away from her. Kagome realized what had happened.
"Is that all? You just can't stand the clothes I'm wearing? I'm sorry!" Kagome said calmly to him. "You mean you're not mad?" Inuyasha blinked several times.
"No! Of course not! Why, that's the reason girls in my time wear clothes like this! Oh, I had no idea you would freak out like this!" Kagome smiled up at him. "It's actually kind of cute." She added.
Inuyasha couldn't stand it anymore. The tension was building up inside of him and he grew harder. 'Oh God! I have to do something!'
