Authors note: like I said; Kagome's point of view.

KAGOME'S SECRET LOVE

Part two.

"We should really stop." Inu-Yasha said.

"And why is that Inu-Yasha?" asked Miroku.

"Well that's a no-brainier. Look why are we heading for my brother on a new moon?"

"Good point." Said Miroku with a sigh.

"So stopping it is then." Said Kagome, while slamming on the brakes on her bike, sending Inu-Yasha flying about two feet off the bicycle, landing on his head.

"OW! God damn-it Kagome!"

"Oops, sorry Inu-Yasha." She said with a smile and he just rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah whatever, Kagome."

About an hour later they had gotten everyone to stop and had built camp. It was just thirty minutes until sunset when they had finished. Inu-Yasha, knowing that being a human was coming soon, jumped into the nearest tree (which was very close) and settled himself down. 'Probably waiting it out up there . . . what a coward' Kagome thought as she continued to watch him. Suddenly Inu-Yasha looked down at her, and his hair was becoming black from the roots down. But Inu-Yasha was staring at Kagome, and for a brief second an emotion flickered across his eyes, then he turned his head. 'Oh my God. What was that? I know I can read his emotion's through his eyes . . . but that . . . I never saw that before! Could it be . . . love?' After that brief thought went through Kagome's mind she walked up to the tree.

"Inu-Yasha?"

"Hmm?"

"Inu-Yasha. What was that I just saw in you eyes?"

"What do you mean what was that you saw in MY eyes?"

"Nothing, Mr. Snappy. I just wanted to know what you were thinking about just now. I know something just happened in you mind."

Inu-Yasha turned his head to the side, avoiding her eyes. He knew she would be able to read him.

"Inu-Yasha?"

sigh "It was nothing Kagome." He said.

Kagome had then walked away, and as she was trying to sleep, and failing while listening to the soft snoring sounds Shippo made and the deep, relaxed breathing from Sango and Miroku. She couldn't sleep. She knew Inu-Yasha would pull something tonight. Sooner or later he would walk away from camp, if he didn't than that would be a surprise to Kagome. Only a few minutes after Kagome had finally got her breathing to sound as if she was asleep, did she hear Inu-Yasha jump down from the tree and walk, stealthily, away from the camp. Minute later Kagome slowly got up and followed. He was sitting at the top of a hill so tall it seamed like a mini-mountain. She was less than three feet away from him when he turned his head and saw her.

"Hey Kagome."

"Inu-Yasha."

"Hmm?"

Kagome sat down beside him, staring at him.

"You really shouldn't have wandered away from camp."

"And you shouldn't have stayed up."

Kagome sighed. "I knew you'd try to leave eventually."

Inu-Yasha smiled. Then Kagome surprised him. She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Kagome I-uh."

"Hmm?" 'Oh Inu-Yasha, don't ruin this moment, in a minute I'll tell you that I love you' she thought to herself

"Oh, it's nothing Kagome."

"Really?" she said lifting her head thinking that the moment was spoiled. "I don't believe you Inu. Something has been wrong with you all night. You told me once that when you are in human form that you feel human emotions. What emotion are you feeling now, and all night?"

Inu-Yasha thought for a long time. Well about four minutes.

"Inu-Yasha?"

"Uh . . . there is no easy way to explain."

"Try your best."

"Ok Kagome . . . I -uh . . . um . . . "

"Oh spit it out Inu-Yasha!" 'I'm going to say that I love you in a minute so whatever it is can't ruin this' she thought while turning he body so she was in front of him. Stairing, waiting, to tell him.

Inu-Yasha smirked.

"Ok Kagome . . . um. It's still really hard for me to say. But Kagome I uh . . . I" Inu-Yasha sucked in a deep breath.

"Kagome . . . I love you."
