Chapter VI:
Kagome awoke to the sound of a crackling fire. She looked around. She was in Kaede's hut. She sat up. She noticed Inuyasha was sitting beside her sleeping.
"Oh you're awake! Thank goodness," said Sango as she walked into the hut. "Inuyasha hasn't left your side since you fainted."
"How long have I been out for?" Kagome asked.
"A while," she said tossing her an apple, "It was morning when we got here and the sun has just set. Kaede wrapped up you leg for you and told us to let you sleep."
Kagome looked at her apple. Why did he stay next to me the whole time?
"Kagome, you should eat something to get your strength back," Sango said softly. She sat beside her. Inuyasha's ears twitched, "Kagome, what's the matter?"
"I'm guessing Miroku told you everything that happened," she said.
"Yeah. Every word. Why? Shouldn't he have?"
"Well..." she continued to stare at her apple, "the temptress told Inuyasha that she loved him, when she was pretending to be me. And then she asked him if he felt the same way about me. I shot the arrow at her before he could answer, but...but now I'm kinda wondering..." She started to blush.
"Kagome, do you have feelings for Inuyasha?"
Her cheeks grew redder, "N-no. No of course not," she didn't look up, "I-I was just wondering if, well...you know...if..."
"Inuyasha cares for you deeply, Kagome, no matter how hard he tries to hide his feelings. I think he's just afraid to. It was probably really hard for him to go and see you in your time, especially since you just left."
"I guess you're right," she continued to look down at the apple.
"Cheer up," said Sango happily, "the springs are near by. We can take a dip when your leg starts to feel better." She walked out of the hut.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, who kept his eye shut. She took a bite of her apple and limped over to him. She sighed.
"I was so afraid I'd lost you, Inuyasha," said Kagome softly, "I couldn't imagine what it would be like without you." She sat in his lap and rested her head on his shoulder, "I'll always be by your side, whether you wanna tell me your feelings or not. And no matter what the future holds for us." She closed her eyes.
I may not tell you how much I care for you right away, Kagome, but I'm glad to know that you'll still stay by me. And someday... you'll know your place in my heart. I only hope that you'll feel the same way when I become a full demon...or whatever it is I choose.
Inuyasha slowly put his arms around her waist and held her. A small smile crept upon his face. He sighed with bliss.
The End
Author's Note: And so ends the story. I ended it with this scene because it sounded really sweet. And because I didn't know how to make Inuyasha and Kagome explain why they are in that position in the morning. Things would get pretty awkward if you ask me. Anyway now I'm just saying things for no reason from this point on because I don't want to go to bed so I'm stalling...and stalling...and still stalling...[yawn]...okay I guess I'll stop typing now and get my ass to bed...but not before I watch another rerun of Inuyasha! Can you sense my excitement? I hope not because that would be kinda weird. Feel free to stop reading at anytime because this is completely pointless. I'm just trying to prove to myself that I can keep typing for no reason. SO go ahead. Stop reading already. The story's over! Go read another one or if you're like me and it's late, GO TO BED!!! I still got work to do but I'm not going to do it because I'm a slacker! So instead of doing my work, I'm gonna go to bed! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! As I'm typing this I'm laughing at my loserness. Why am I still typing! I must stop typing!!! Can't do it! Fingers... still... moving... becoming... more... of... a... sleepy... loser... with...e ach word! Somebody stop me please! I must be stopped!!! Aren't you tired of reading this? It's stupid! And long! Did I mention stupid? Line after line, word after word, how can you stand it? You know what I like? The sarcasm on Adult Swim. And I also like Family Guy. And Futurama. And Inuyasha. And noodles!!! Ramen is awesome and I'm not just saying that! I've been eating it since I was four! Where did that come from? Why am I saying this?! I'm done! I've gone too far and there's no hope for me now, so good night!!! I'm going to stop typing...now! Oh dammit! Okay...now! DAMN! Oh never mind. Good night all...or you know those who are still reading.
