Running Away Chapter 2

"Kagome?" he inquired softly, the question asking more then revealed.

"Hmm?" "I'm sorry Kagome. Sorry for everything I've ever done to hurt you." Kagome looked shocked, but Inuyasha ignored her expression and went on. "Kagome...Kikyo...s-she's dead. I-I killed her so that her soul would be at peace." He brushed her stunned face lightly with the back of his hand. He leaned forward a bit and whispered, "And so I could be with you." He gave her a light kiss on the lips, and then pulled away, leaving her hanging in his arms. "Now your soul is at peace, Kikyo is peaceful, and I..."his voice faded. Kagome sharply came back to reality and took his arms in her hands, forcing him to look up at her.

"What is it Inuyasha? What is it that you want?" She asked softly, her eyes pleading with him for an answer. "What is it that keeps your soul restless?" He broke away from her questioning stare, questioning himself in his mind.

"You." He answered softly, looking back into her eyes. She gasped a bit, completely surprised. "Ashiteru Kagome. Only when you left did I realize it. I cant live without you. Only around you do I feel right-only around you do I feel whole. Kagome, would you be mine?" Kagome stared at him for a few second, trying to actually understand what was happening. When it final registered in her brain, she pulled Inuyasha into a tight embrace.

"Of course, my love."

Back in the Sengoku Jidai, Inuyasha was carrying Kagome bridal style past the village. She had agreed to be his on one condition- they did this stupid ceremony before anything happened. He had started off towards Miroku, but then kagome had added quietly,
"In my time."
She had assured him that it was just a document and a ritual, and it was so she could tell her mom that she was married. Now that that was over with, they would soon be together. Inuyasha looked down on the sleeping Kagome and smiled. It felt so much better now that she was back here with him, and that he had finally told her of the feelings that he had carried for the last 2 years. Kagome shifted lightly in his hold, snuggling closer to him. Inuyasha smiled softly, then continued on his journey.

Inuyasha stopped in a clearing about 3 hours later. The clearing had a small, but beautiful house that looked more like it belonged in Kagome's time than his. He sighed, looking at the house that he had lived in until his mother had died. Glancing at the sleeping Kagome, he continued into the house. When he got in, the place was covered in years of dust. He left footsteps as he crossed the room, breaking the unearthly silence that the house had held. Coming to the couch, she shifted so that he carried Kagome's sleeping form in one arm, and dusted it off. He laid the young Miko down on it after he was satisfied, then went off to make sure the rest of the house was safe.

Kagome turned over, he face touching something soft.
'Inuyasha!' he sleepy mind thought. She snuggled closer, only to feel no warmth. She opened her eyes to meet a dark green blob greeting her vision. She sat up quickly and realized that she was facing an arm of a couch. A warm, red blanket had slid off when she sat up. Felling the fabric, she recognized it as the top of Inuyasha's haori. She looked around the now dust free room. It was dark and it reminded her of her house a bit, not like any other house in the Sengoku Jidai. Hearing sounds from the other room, she stood up, wrapped her makeshift blanket around her, and set off to find her love.

Inuyasha smelled Kagome as she came looking for him.
"Kagome I'm in here," he called. She came walking in, wrapped in the top of his haori, yawning. She walked over to him and snuggled up against his arm. Inuyasha inhaled a bit, taking in her scent slightly mixed with his, which drove him crazy.

"Morning Sleepy," he said, wrapping his arm around her.

"Mornin'. Whatcha doing?" She asked moving closer to him.

"Making sure this house is safe to live in." she slapped his arm playfully.

"Whatever. What time is it?" She asked yawning again. He rolled his eyes, knowing that she would love to still be asleep.

"About three in the morning." He leaned over and kissed her forehead. Kagome yawned again, content just to stand there and be with him.

"So what do you want to do love?" Inuyasha asked, looking down at her. He couldn't see her eyes, and when she didn't answer, he bent down a bit to see her face. Her eyes were closed and her breath was quiet: She had fallen asleep again. Inuyasha chuckled.

"Silly wench, falling asleep standing." Once more he swept her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
