Whom Do You Love, Who Will You Choose?

Chapter 4: Love You.Forever
* * *
Inuyasha suddenly looked up from his brooding in some random tree, far from both the village and the well, where he had gone after sending Kikyo to the world of the dead, where she belonged. He could feel his love's pain, and it seemed that he could hear her cry out for his help. He sat straight up and jumped out of the tree. Getting his bearings, he darted toward the well.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Both Miroku and Sango were waiting at the well. Neither knew why, but both had felt something drawing them to the well. A black-haired head poked itself out of the well. (A/N: 'K, I just saw The Ring! ^_^) Soon it was followed by the rest of Kagome, minus the gigantic yellow backpack that she usually brought with her. Miroku and Sango both rushed over to help her, and were baffled by the tears that were running down her face.
"Kagome, what's wrong?!" Asked Sango, wondering what Inuyasha could possibly done to her this time.
"Inuyasha, I need to see.Inuyasha!" She managed to gasp out between sobs. Sango immediately gave her a hug, and patted her head. (A/N: NO! This is NOT a Kagome/Sango pairing!)
As if on cue, Inuyasha rushed into the clearing. Kagome wrenched herself from Sango's arms and darted straight into Inuyasha's arms, nearly knocking him over. He awkwardly patted her back as she sobbed into his fire-rat kimono.
"Uh, Kagome," He said, blushing, "Could you tell me what's wrong?" I can't stand it when you cry. He added silently, but didn't dare say. This seemed to be written on his face, however, because Miroku was rolling on the ground in silent laughter, and even Sango seemed to be having a hard time trying not to laugh. He made a threatening gesture and, receiving the hint, both left the clearing. The sound of a slap and the scream of "Pervert!" could be heard echoing through the clearing.
"Kagome, tell me what's wrong," Inuyasha said pleadingly. He pried her from his kimono, and looked down at her. She slowly looked up at him, and saw his golden eyes peering down into her own. She found that she couldn't hold his gaze for long, and looked back down.
Inuyasha was now very worried. When Kagome had looked briefly into his eyes, he saw many raging emotions there. A few he recognized, fear, anger, hate, and something else, lying just beneath the surface. He put a clawed hand beneath her chin and lifted her head to look at him.
She wouldn't look into his eyes. What she had seen there, she wasn't sure she wanted to see, she saw love. But he's only seeing Kikyo, She told herself, he only loves Kikyo. She closed her eyes against the pain as more tears ran down her face, and whispered, "Which one do you love?"
Inuyasha was stunned to see more tears rain down her face. He was even more stunned, however, when he heard her whispered question. "What?" He asked, unsure if he heard right. "What did you say?"
"I said, who do you love?" She said slightly louder, "Do you love me, or do you love Kikyo? When you look at me, do you see her or me?!" Her tirade started out softly, but soon grew in volume until she was practically yelling. Inuyasha, finally understanding what Kagome meant, held the girl close.
"Kagome." He said softly, startling her with his soft tone. "I love Kagome. When I look at you, I see you. Kikyo and you are similar, but the similarities are only skin deep. Inside you are very different. Kikyo.seemed dead, even in life. You, Kagome, are always alive, so full of joy and hope and.love?" This last comment was said with hope and hesitance, as though Inuyasha was afraid of the answer. He needn't have worried.
"Inuyasha, I love you too! Even more than I can possibly say!" And she pulled his face down by his fore-locks, until they were mere inches apart. "I love you." She whispered, and then their lips met for the first time. But soon both had to breath, and they parted reluctantly. And then, just as reluctantly, Kagome pushed Inuyasha away. He looked at her in confusion.
"No, I can't," Kagome said, for she remembered why she had come, "I can't love you!"
Inuyasha looked like he wanted to hit something. He raised his eyebrows instead, silently asking Kagome to explain. She closed her eyes as though to ward off tears and continued.
"If I love you, it could get both of us hurt. I could be kidnapped by Naraku, as a trap to kill you, or something worse. That's why I came back. Naraku kidnapped my.my family." Kagome stopped, tears welling in her eyes. Inuyasha held her close and considered what to say next. If he said the wrong thing, he could lose Kagome, his Kagome.
"Kagome, I won't let anyone hurt you, not Naraku, not anybody. We will get your family back from that bastard. I can't take back what's already been said.I love you, that's that." Inuyasha said reasonably. Kagome sobbed and looked up at him.
"It'll never work, even if we do admit our love. We live in different times, and even if one of us went to live with the other, you would outlive me by hundreds of years."
"Don't worry about that Kagome, we'll worry about it later. You have to admit our love. I swear to you that I will not let Naraku hurt you or anyone that you care about!" He suddenly looked so fierce that she nearly backed away in fear. She knew that Inuyasha wouldn't ever hurt her. He loved her. But he couldn't. They couldn't admit their love. It was to save their lives, so she continued to protest.
"But.what if-" Inuyasha cut her off.
"But nothin'. No what ifs. We will get your family back, Kagome. Do you hear me? Don't loose hope." This was such a strange comment coming from Inuyasha that Kagome was worried. But he had not finished talking. "I lost all hope, until I met you. You taught me to find the good in things Kagome, you taught me hope. So now I won't let you loose hope." Kagome finally gave in and smiled up at him. "I love you Inuyasha, now and always." Forever.
