Chapter 11

A Need for Sight

by: Silver Teardrops

When I woke up next morning, I felt great inside-like I've never felt since I was just a mere child. But then I remembered that Kagome slept with me last night and I began to blush-darn these stupid reddening cheeks. Why can't I hide my emotions easily? I pretended to yawn so I could remove my arm from under Kagome's head and when I did so she groaned a bit as a protest and then resumed her nap.

"Kagome! Wake up! Or You'll BE late FOR wORK!!!!" Souta's voice was squeaking from high pitched to low pitch. I hate it when human children go through puberty. Too much drama and noise for me. I heard slight sheets rustling and knew Kagome was coming to.

"Ohayo," I greeted her, not knowing if she was pretending to sleep or not, but greeting her nonetheless.

"Ohayo Inu-chan." She giggled while I tried to ignore that nickname. I got up and stretched while she did something I did not know. how could I? I still couldn't see. it's kinda growing on me now anyway.

"Do you want me to let you go to the feudal era for the day, and I'll come and pick you up after I come home from work?" Kagome asked as I heard her voice right behind me and then her petite arms wrapped themselves around my neck from behind.

"Iie, I'll just go today, then come back to pick you up." I replied knowing well, she worried for me, but I knew her job by heart already. I knew the dangers, I knew the cautions, I knew everything you needed to know if you were blind and walking around.

"Sure, you do that." She said sarcastically.

"Okay I will. I'm going to leave now. want anything from there then?" I asked as I placed my hands on the knob. I felt silence, then suddenly her voice was beside me in a flash.

"Your safety." She replied kissing me on the cheeks. I smiled holding her hand.

"You got it." I murmured as I held her hand, she not letting go, and I never having the intention of ever letting her go again.

But eventually Souta came knocking on the door and Kagome let go relentlessly and left with another good bye. I stood there for a moment and then just smiled smugly to myself. life was going great minus the lost of sight. Mwahahahha Oops, where did that laugh come from?

"Inuyasha, you really need to stop talking to yourself." I stated to myself as I noticed I was yet again talking happily to myself. It was like I was one of those schoolboys that couldn't stop talking about their new girlfriend or something-grrr. So I headed off to the well and jumped in.

"Shippo?" I asked as I entered a hut nearby the well. It was a lone hut and it reeked of that kitsune.

"Inuyasha?" Shippo's voice came to me and I turned in that direction. I felt more presence and more footsteps enter.

"Who's there with you Shippo?" I asked as I began to advance towards him.

"Who else but the people you know, baka." Shippo muttered and I felt anger rise but pushed it down. nothing was going to ruin my good day, not even insults.

"Yuki?" I asked as someone lightly touched my face. She nodded and greeted me.

"Ohayo Inuyasha. It's been a few days since you last came. It's nice to see you again though." I wasn't used to people being so friendly with me, especially people from the feudal era. they always thought I was too low for them-or too monstrous for them. I kept smiling that day; nothing could be better than this.

"Inuyasha?" I looked up at the voice that belonged to the only houshi. I heard a baby's giggle and knew Masaya was with him.

"Aa?"

"We need to speak with you for a minute." Miroku's voice was serious and I knew that I shouldn't joke around or smile anymore for that matter, something might be up and I might not like it.

"Let's go and talk then." I walked out into a field and leaned against a tree by it and he followed suit. I waited for him to begin, but since I was too curious I started.

"So, tell me what's up that you need to talk with me."

"It is more than just I, it's more like 'we'. Inuyasha, they found a real cure for that blindness of yours." I stood up straight and went to him. I wanted to shake him but Masaya was in his arms, and I didn't want anything bad to happen to him. "What are you talking about houshi?"

"Kaede, Sango-they found a way..." Then suddenly someone jumped out of the tree I was just leaning on, and I took my stance quickly- glad that I grabbed my Tetsusaiga on the way here.

"It's true Inuyasha, we found a way." Sango finished the evidence for what Miroku said. Why the hell was she in the tree?

"Wait a minute, why were you in a tree?"

"I was picking apples for Masaya's lunch, what else?" Sango's defensive argument signaled me to shut up or get hurt, and I didn't want to the latter.

When I came from the field to the shaded meadow by the hut, I knew of something that might be great but also not so great. Kaede was still going about it and Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were present with me.

"Inuyasha, ye may not know, but that cure I have once said you could do or have has already taken effect. Since the night you promised Kagome you'll only love her and were sincere about it, it has already taken its roots. Before you know it- You get to see once again." Kaede said joyously, it was obvious even to a blind hanyou-which was me. Sango placed her hand on my head ruffling my hair up a bit.

"Hai, you'll finally get to see again. You get to see how much we've changed, how cute Masaya looks, how beautiful Kagome is." Sango's outcomes made me happy all over again. But then-what is the other side to this, it can't all be great, but what is it???

"Who is going to tell Kagome?" Miroku's voice asked everyone. then it hit me. Should ANYONE tell her?

"It isn't WHO its IF." Kaede was addressing me. I know it by the tone of her voice. I turned to her direction and had a thoughtful expression on my face. I wanted to see, but if I told Kagome I had my sight back, would she treat me differently? Or would she forget me because I'm back to great health?

"I don't know yet." I replied getting up and leaving everyone there to think-to go back to the era where I've spent much time in and grown used to. If I tell her, and nothing changes between her and me, I will still have to choose between her time and my own.

"What the hell am I going to do?" I asked aloud to myself as I jumped down into the well. It will be at least 5 more hours before Kagome gets off of work and before I have to go and pick her up. I have that much time to think. to think of causes and effects, to think of---the future.

I got up from the futon and perked my ears up a bit, the sound of the school bell rang loudly. Her job ended about half an hour after it, so it would be best if I leave now to pick her up. I jumped out of her open bedroom window and onto the ground, making sure no one saw what had just occurred. Then when I knew it was safe, I started off into the busy streets. I thought and thought about it and finally came to the decision to tell her. if she doesn't accept me, at least I can still love her right? But I am still undecided on the era---what will happen? What might not?

I neared the work building and finally stopped as I heard lots of people chattering about their long day of work at Shikon Inc. and knew that I had arrived and leaned on the building waiting for the familiar scent, aura- of Kagome. It took a few minutes but I didn't mind. she probably thought I was joking around this morning- heh, this'll sure surprise her. Then suddenly there it was, the familiarity of the woman I love... She was exiting the building when I ran to her side in a flash and walked calmly by her side, until she noticed me.

Well she must be busy it's been a while now (just a few seconds) and she still doesn't kno-

"Inuyasha!" She exclaimed a bit shocked. I smiled egotistically at her then wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Hey Kagome. Surprised?" I asked.

"Of course! How did you get here? It's not safe for you to be walking around places you don't know." She replied holding my waist while leaning her head on me. She worries too much for her own good, well at least after I tell her the news she can at least be sure of my safety and forget me if she wants. But Kami-sama don't let her hate me, just don't let the news change anything, but help keep our love stronger than ever.

"What's the occasion? You seem like you have something on your mind." Kagome asked as we crossed a street. I smiled, but inside I was having a mental argument. Should I rethink my decision, or what?

"Um...it's nothing. How about we go on a date tonight? Just us two, no Miroku or Sango." I asked as we were now walking on a non-busy sidewalk. She looked at me, because I could kinda feel it, but now my eyesight was getting light colors and it was amazing to see something else rather than black.

"Sure, do I pick where we should go?"

"Anything you want koiishi." I murmured bending down to her lips and kissed her lightly and she returned it with another light kiss. We walked home, arms entwined around each other and just loving one another's presence.

A/n: I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING LIKE I SAID I WOULD FROM NOW ON. BUT I HAVE A GOOD REASON, FF. NET WAS MESSING UP ON ME AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANYONE REVIEWED AND WHEN I UPLOADED THE FIC WOULDN'T SHOW UP SO...IT REALLY WASN'T MY FAULT. Okay that said and done, I hope you like the fluffness I am now adding to the story. Yes, I know, it's coming to an end, I love it and hate it. I love it because now you can't really yell at me, but then I hate it because I won't be able to read your reviews or keep you entertained...yes a bittersweet moment. But for now, it's still going so I hope you like if not tell me what else you prefer and I might consider it if it works with the story line okay Thanks to all those who reviewed I love you all, you make me so happy!!!
