Chapter 9

Kagome looked down into the well and smiled. She was so happy that Inuyasha had finally said that he loved her. Thank you so much,she thought. Now I don't have to feel alone.

She went back into her room. It was well after dark and everyone was already asleep. She laid down on her bed and smiled. I guess now I really be happy now,she thought. I'm happy and I don't have to be alone because he really does love me now.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Inuyasha jumped out of the well and jumped on the tree,but soon he was met by Shippou,who didn't look too happy.

"OK INUYASHA! WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!"yelled Shippou.

"Quiet down Shippou. It's ok. She's coming back."

"I thought you were going to stay with her."

"She'll be fine Shippou. Now go get some sleep. Don't scare me like that ok?" He watched as Shippou ran back to the hut and left him alone. He then saw Miroku come over.

"You've come back,"said Miroku.

"There wasn't a reason for me to stay."

"How is she?"

"She's fine."

"So..."

"If you want to know if she's coming back,the answer is yes Miroku."

"Good. Because Shippou didn't look too happy a little while ago."

"He doesn't have any reason not to be. She's coming back. I told him."

"That's good. So you can't sleep again I'm guessing?"

"No. I just wanted to see if she was coming back."

"And you have your answer. You should go back to sleep now Miroku."

"You shouldn't worry about me Inuyasha. I have my woman now. You should keep a hold on to yours now."

"How can you be so sure she's my woman now? What if she leaves me again?"

"I doubt that."

"But there are awfully a lot of guys out there who would like her as much as I do."

"Just tell her you care and that's all she needs."

"How's your arm?"

"Why the sudden change of subject?"

He smiled. "How's your arm Miroku?"

"Never better. Well,I had better be going,"and he walked back into the hut.

Just please come back to me Kagome,he thought. I don't want to lose you again. I want you to stay with me.
