DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter Eight: Realizing the Truth
Kagome ran towards the well, but Inuyasha grabbed her arm before she could go further.
"Let me go!" Kagome screamed at Inuyasha. "Don't make me say it!"
"Then go ahead!" Inuyasha yelled back. "I'm not letting you leave until you give me a chance to explain!"
"Let Kagome-chan go," Sango threatened. She picked up her Hiraikotsu and held it in a threatening manner.
"Back off Sango," Inuyasha spat out. "Some friends you guys are! You don't even give me a chance to explain and you just accuse me! Is this what friendship is? Refusing to listen to your own companion?!"
Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked down ashamedly. Inuyasha was right, they didn't even give him a chance to defend himself.
"Fine, we're listening," Miroku spoke up.
Kagome continued to cry, but she nodded her head slightly. Inuyasha still kept a tight hold on her wrist. He didn't want to risk her escape.
"I did go to see Kikyo," Inuyasha began. He watched Kagome's face as she flinched when the name of the dead priestess was mentioned. "But I didn't say I loved her."
"You liar," Kagome hissed. "Then why were you kissing Kikyo?!"
Inuyasha cut Kagome off. "I did say that I loved her once, but I refused to be taken to hell with her. I told her I chose to live. But I was not kissing Kikyo!"
"Then are you saying that I'm lying?"
Inuyasha didn't know what to do, so he grabbed Kagome and pulled her close to him. He then kissed her to silent her. Kagome struggled at first, but Inuyasha held on and eventually, Kagome melted in his arms. There was so much passion in his kiss, feelings that he had bottled up since the time he met her, were all put into that kiss. The others sensed that Inuyasha and Kagome would want their privacy, so they left. They had barely walked a few steps when they decided that it was much better to just spy on their friends to get all of the details. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo then hid behind a bush and hoped that Inuyasha was too preoccupied to smell their scent.
Inuyasha let go of Kagome and looked deep into her eyes. Kagome was stunned and a pretty pink stained her cheeks. 'Oh my gosh, this is the second time that he kissed me!'
"Kagome, do you not trust me?" Inuyasha asked her. His gaze was intense as he waited for her answer.
"I don't know what to believe in anymore," Kagome answered truthfully. "I saw you and Kikyo kissing, so I don't know. I mean, I know you would never physically hurt me, but unintentionally, you hurt me mentally."
"Kagome, when I said I loved you, I meant it. I don't want to go to hell with Kikyo. Don't you believe me when I say that I love you? I know I've hurt you many times in the past, but won't you give me a chance to make it up to you?"
"Oh Inuyasha!" Kagome said before she collapsed in Inuyasha's arms. She held on tightly to his haori and cried. When she calmed down enough to talk, she looked up at him. Her eyes were red and puffy, but to Inuyasha, she was still the most beautiful woman.
"I do believe you Inuyasha. No matter how much I tried to convince myself to move on, I just couldn't. I always knew that I loved you and when you first confessed to me, I was too shocked. I didn't want to get my hopes up and then have it dashed. But I believed that you were sincere, but it was still hard to let go of my doubts. So I had to wait and think. When I thought about all those times you risked your life to save me from demons, I realized that you must have had some feelings for me. I love you too Inuyasha."
"So does this mean we get to have a chance together?"
"Yes," Kagome replied. "Let's start over. We can finally move on."
With that, Inuyasha pulled Kagome into another kiss. Their kiss was disrupted when they heard some rustling in the bushes. Inuyasha pulled the leaves away and found Sango, Miroku, and Shippo listening intently.
"Heh, Inuyasha," Miroku began, but trailed off.
"We were just...trying to look for ladybugs," Sango made a feeble attempt at an excuse.
"That's the lamest excuse you can possibly come up with!" Inuyasha yelled. "And that's why I'm going to make you regret it!"
He began to chase them when suddenly, his nose picked up a familiar scent.
Naraku emerged from the trees. "So, the wench and her hanyou have finally gotten together? How touching, I wonder how long it will last?"
"Shut up you bastard!" Inuyasha snapped. He pulled Tetsusaiga from its sheathe. "You are going to die!"
"Oh no you don't Inuyasha," Naraku sneered. "You're nothing but a pathetic hanyou."
