"I'm everything I am...because you love me..."
He softly told her against her lips. She let free her best smile and rested her temple against his cheek as his hand reached up to the side of her head bringing her closer.
"I love you...Inuyasha..."
******
Both Inuyasha and Kagome walked through the forest, Inuyasha staying a bit behind watching over her protectively. Kagome looked up into the sky and let her thoughts take toll. She began to wonder to herself. 'The jewel is almost complete…we are so close to the end. The end of this amazing adventure, do I really want it to end? What will happen after it's all over…'
"Kagome!"
"Eh?" She then turned around and blinked at Inuyasha.
"I've been trying to get your attention but your mind seems ELSEWHERE."
"Chill out puppy, I was just gathering my thoughts."
At that comment, she heard a soft growl from "her puppy" and giggled.
"Oi wench, what are you laughing about?"
It was funny; even though when he called her those kinds of names bothered her, she can tell that he just did it being a person full of pride. She just gave him a smile.
"It's nothing, come on we still have to find those jewel shards."
She then walked over to him and grabbed hold of his hand, turning back around and continued walking once more. A faint blush appeared on his face as they began watching. Then he stopped in his tracks as he began sniffing the air.
"What is it?"
"That smell..."
Then a tunnel of wind appeared before them, heading for Kagome and knocking Inuyasha out of the way.
"Kagome!"
Out of the wind appeared Kouga and standing right in front of Kagome.
"Kouga-kun?"
He then walked closer to her and grabbed both of her hands with his and stared down at her. "Thank god, you're alright!"
"You wimpy wolf!"
Inuyasha leaped back on his feet and charged to Kouga, smacking his hands away from Kagome's and growling furiously at him.
"Stop intruding all the time and holding Kagome's hands LIKE THAT!"
"What are you going to do about it dog-turd? She's MY woman!"
"Deal with it you dumbass, she is NOT yours!"
He then walked passed InuYasha and walked up to Kagome once again, holding her hands.
"How do you ever deal with this mutt? You should..."
Inuyasha then slammed his fist on the back of Kouga's head as he turned to look at him, rubbing the aching pain on his head.
"I told you not to touch her like that!"
Kagome in the background just sat on a nearby rock and watched the two as they began to argue again, sighing to herself.
'Some things will just never change...' She smiled at this thought.
"Kouga, I need to ask you a favor." Kagome then spoke.
The two, now staying still tangled in their fight as they quickly moved away from each other.
"What is it, my love?"
"You know that I have a duty to gather the shards of the Shikon no Tama and I was wondering if you would let us have your shards."
He then looked at Inuyasha and back at Kagome.
"Come, I want to talk to you in private..."
This confused both Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha gave an uneasy look; as always he never really trusted that wolf.
"Don't even try you mangy wolf, I'm not going anywhere!"
She then stood up and walked up to both of them and giving a reassuring look to InuYasha.
"It's okay, don't worry about me."
"Kagome..."
"Come on Kouga..."
They soon walked a bit away, Inuyasha trying to listen in to the conversation with his acute hearing. He trusted Kagome; he was just unaware of the wolf's intentions. He wouldn't dare let anything bad happen to her, nothing was more important. As he there, arms crossed, beginning to sulk with the irritating tapping of his claw against his shoulder repeatedly.

"Kagome, I will give you my shards...I understand you duties and dedication the Shikon no Tama. But on one condition, please after you finish if you would come with me. Come back with my tribe and me. I promise to love and cherish you, as you deserve to be."
"Kouga-kun..."
"Give me a chance Kagome, you don't deserve what that mutt has put you through..."
She frowned a bit and sighed. "I will be honest with you right now, I do love you but not in the way you want me to. You've been so caring for me and have saved me sometimes and I am forever grateful for that. But I cannot give you the love you want, the love you deserve and I'm sorry..."
He then looked at her carefully, looking through her eyes to the depths of her soul when he came to the realization.
"You love him, don't you...?"
She smiled a bit to herself and nodded. It was something she couldn't deny. He had to admit to himself, he was disappointed but there wasn't anything he could do. He looked down a bit and sighed to himself.
"You know I wish the very best for you, Kouga-kun. Please understand..."
"I just wish that you would see how much I can offer you and love you Kagome. I can do so much better than that..."
"Please...Kouga-kun. If you really love me, then you know what you have to do..."
He sighed again; she had made a point. He wanted her to be happy. He then reached down, taking both the shards from his legs and held them in his palm, looking down at them. He then looked back at her, taking hold of her hand and placing them in her palm, enclosing her hand with his.
"If dog-turd ever hurts or if you need someone, I'm always here for you. You'll know where to find me."
He smiled sadly at her and quickly kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear. "Farewell...". He then quickly turned around and ran. She stared out to where had ran off to and smiled to herself.
"Arigato...Kouga-kun..."
