Whom Do You Love, Who Will You Choose?

Chapter 5: Doubts
The next morning, everything was a blissful silence. That is, until calls of "Inuyasha? Kagome?" rang through the air, frightening the birds from their nests. Sango was attempting to find them, but so far she was having
no luck.
Kagome slowly stirred into consciousness as the echoing cries reached her
ears. Something soft brushed her face, and she pushed it away. That didn't work. So she reached up to see what the soft thing was. Hair, it
was hair. She moved her hand up the hair and found two dog-like ears. Ooh! She slowly opened her eyes.and found that it was Inuyasha's hair that was brushing her face, and Inuyasha's dog-ears that she was petting. She
was about to move her hand away, but stopped, deciding that Inuyasha probably wouldn't mind, considering the circumstances. Kagome continued to pet Inuyasha's cute little ears, and eventually she began to her a small rumbling sound. Confused, she looked around, but no one was there. She then glanced at Inuyasha, and found the most content smile on his face that
she had ever seen. That smile made her heart melt all over again. The rumbling grew deeper, and she realized that it was coming from Inuyasha. I
didn't know dogs could purr! She petted his ears even more, and the purring grew louder. Suddenly, she was looking into a pair of big golden
eyes.
Kagome jumped back, and put a hand over her heart. "Inuyasha, you nearly scared me to death!" She startled him when she didn't "sit" him. All of a
sudden, Kagome remembered why she was there.
"Oh, no." She whispered, her face turning from playful anger to absolute
terror in the blink of an eye. Inuyasha, somehow knowing what she was
thinking, came over and put a comforting arm around her shoulders.
"It'll be alright Kagome. Remember what I told you? We won't let that bastard Naraku harm your family." For the briefest instant, his eyes turned to a stone cold hatred that was more than just plain hatred. Then the look in his eyes flashed back to the love and concern that he felt for Kagome.
Just then, Sango decided to appear. "Kagome, Inu. oh, there you two are!" She glanced momentarily at the arm that Inuyasha had around Kagome, then
seemed to take it all in stride.
"Hey you two, we need to get back to the village soon. Kaede has heard some rumors of a large amount of jewel shards." That was all it took for both Inuyasha and Kagome to leap up suddenly and exchange a knowing glance.
Then, without a word to Sango, Kagome jumped onto Inuyasha's back and he
sped off toward the village. Sango just stood there watching, then murmured to herself something that sounded like: stupid dog-boy, can't even get a ride, I wish Miroku (she stopped there! ~_^).and followed after them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kaede and Miroku anxiously awaited the return of Kagome and Inuyasha in the village. Kaede was just considering sending Miroku to find out if Sango had found them when she heard the patter of bare feet run down the street
and stop in front of her door.
"So you've returned have you? Hey Inuyasha, what exactly where you doing last night?" Was Miroku's brilliant comment. He was swiftly silenced by a
hand clad in a red fire-rat kimono sleeve.
"So, lady Kaede," said Kagome, ignoring the now-unconscious monk on the floor, "You heard rumors of a of a large amount of jewel shards?" Her eyes were filled with hope, and what looked suspiciously like tears. Inuyasha noticed this and put a comforting arm around shoulders. If Kaede saw this
exchange, she kept it to herself. Kaede opened her mouth to reply to
Kagome's question when Sango rushed in.
"Lady Kaede, I found.oh, they're here." Inuyasha acknowledged her briefly, and Kagome grinned at her, then turned to look back at Inuyasha, who sat
and pulled Kagome into his lap. She blushed, but said nothing. Sango noticed this (as did everyone else in the hut) and was about to comment, but Kaede silenced her with a look. Shippo darted in to jump into Kagome's lap. (where he came from, I don't know! ^_^) Kagome absently stroked his
head as she waited for Kaede to answer her question.
"As I do not believe that there will be any other interruptions," She began, glaring pointedly at Miroku, who had been edging toward Sango, "I will explain further. There have indeed been rumors of a large amount of jewel shards. Also, they are being held by a very powerful demon, who has lately been attacking the villages up north. Several nobles have already
been murdered, and in one instance, a priestess." Kagome had gasped at hearing the word "murder" and Inuyasha leaned his head down to whisper in her ear. Kaede realized that she might never finish her explanation with
this group, so she cut to the end.
"Ye must go to this demon up north. It may well be Naraku, and if it is, then ye must be cautious." Kagome's heart jerked at the mention of Naraku, and she thought in a very un-Kagome-like way, I hope that Inuyasha kills that bastard. If he harmed my family., and her eyes welled with tears as she remembered all the good things about them. Sota, Mom, Grampa.what if
Inuyasha is wrong? What if Naraku. kills them? She began to sob, and Kaede, Sango, and Miroku looked at her, worried. Inuyasha held her tighter
and glared at the group after receiving confused looks. Kaede and the
rest left, sensing that it would be the intelligent course of action.
"Kagome." Inuyasha held her as her eyes overflowed with tears and her sobs
increased in volume. She rocked back and forth in the confines of Inuyasha's arms. He rubbed her back comfortingly, and continued speaking
to her. "Kagome, I know what your crying about. For once, it wasn't me
that made you cry." That brought a shuddering laugh, and Inuyasha continued, "It was that bastard Naraku. Kagome, I told you that I will get you're your family back for you, no matter what. And Naraku will die. He will pay for causing you this much pain!" Inuyasha's voice was serious, and
full of more rage and hatred that is humanly possible. Still, Kagome
hesitated in believing, and looked up at him, doubt in her face.
"But, Inuyasha.how can we possibly get them back? Naraku will probably have killed them by now, anyway." Her voice sounded completely devoid of
emotion, frighteningly like Kikyo, which scared Inuyasha even more. He
shook her gently and said to her:
"Kagome, what have I told you? Never lose hope. I did.and I regret every second of it. You sound like Kikyo when you are hopeless, and that's not
who I fell in love with!" Inuyasha's voice had risen with anger, not at Kagome, but at the bastard who made her like this. "I love you, you love
me. Forever, right?" Kagome looked up at him, and chocolate brown met sunshine gold, and Kagome still saw the truth of love, love for forever, in his eyes. She finally nodded and looked once again into the deep pools of melted gold, before his lips captured hers, sharing all the passion, all
the love, that they couldn't possibly share with words.
Meanwhile, a shadowed figure watched from the forest and chuckled to
himself. "So, the mighty Inuyasha has a weakness after all." And he walked back into the forest, the essence of jewel shards left behind him.
