Chapter 2
(Author's note - Okay, this story is mostly un-edited, and it was my first story. You'll notice that through the earlier chapters, they are short and not formatted well.....(sigh) I really have improved a lot since the "early" chapters, so I really would appreciate it if you could find a way to get through them..........This was first posted on Inuyasha.net, and it got many positive reviews....The action doesn't REALLY start picking up until chapter 15 or so, so PLEASE try to get through the kinda (cough) lackluster (cough) chapters before that.....Honestly, I feel they are kinda bad because my writing has improved TREMENDOUSLY since then, and you can't really notice it until mid-way through this story...Anyways, please REVIEW!!!! It'll really help my confidence.....)
Kagome lay on her bed, staring up at her ceiling. "What am I going to do?", she thought to herself. "I love Inuyasha, but he obviously doesn't feel the same way about me. I'm just a jewel detector to him. He's in love with Kikyo." She couldn't go back and act like everything was normal, but she didn't want to stay away from Inuyasha either. Kagome buried her head into her pillows and tried to get some sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, the first thing that she saw when she opened her eyes was Inuyasha. He was sitting by her window, watching her closely. Kagome looked away and quietly said, "what do you want?" "What do you think? We need to go look for more jewel shards," Inuyasha replied. Immediately after he said it, he regretted it. Inuyasha just didn't know how to express his feelings to Kagome. He jumped back in surprise when she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Inuyasha, I don't want you to die with Kikyo! I want you to stay with me. I need you!", she yelled. She surprised herself with her outburst, and she blushed deeply. Kagome was shocked by what happened next.
Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome and looked into her eyes. "I need you too. Last night when you saw me and Kikyo together, I was telling her goodbye," he said. "I thought that you loved her? Why would you tell her goodbye?" Kagome asked. "Because I realized that I love someone else now." Inuyasha replied. Kagome was absolutely stunned. She couldn't think of what to say next. "I love you, Kagome. I want to stay by your side forever." Inuyasha said. "Oh, Inuyasha! I love you too!" Kagome responded, and she threw her arms around his neck.
Inuyasha had never been so happy in his life. His feelings were finally out in the open, and Kagome felt the same way about him that he felt about her. He leaned closer to her and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. Kagome wanted more than that, though, and she pushed herself closer to him and gave him a deep kiss on the lips. "Wow," she thought. "That was worth waiting for!" They both blushed, and Inuyasha then told her that he had to go and that he would meet her on the other side of the well.
