When Inu Yasha pulled up to the well, Kagome slowly slipped off and was about to jump in, when… "Wait," Inu Yasha exclaimed suddenly as he put a hand on Kagome's shoulder. Kagome turned around to face him to see what was up. "Isn't the new moon this week?" "Huh? Oh yeah! It is. Sorry." Kagome whispered. "What're you sorry for?" Inu Yasha asked confused. "I forgot when the new moon was. That's the most important time of the month for you, and I forgot. I can't believe it." Kagome added the last comment in frustration. 'Oh, how could I have forgotten? The man I love is in danger on one night each month, and I forgot it! Man, I am so stupid.'
"It's okay," Inu Yasha told Kagome with a small (very, very, VERY small) smile, "I sometimes forget myself." Kagome smiled at this. "Thanks Inu Yasha, for making me feel better. Even though that probably wasn't your intention." Kagome whispered again, but Inu Yasha caught the last thing she said and was very upset. "WHAT?! You think…" But before he could finish, Kagome had dragged him by the arm into the well.
'She…she thinks I wouldn't want to make her feel better? I mean, she doesn't have to remember. Why did it make her angry? Could it be Kagome might… might care for me a lot more than I think? No, she couldn't. Her grandpa chases me away with those special spell scrolls and she probably wishes she could do the same. I'M NOT SAYING SHE CAN'T! I'm just saying if she had them ON her, she would.'
As they landed, Inu Yasha asked "Kagome, do you think I don't care about you? Be honest." Kagome faced him with shock written all over her face. I knew it, she doesn't. "Wuh-why?" Kagome asked (obviously) shocked. "Be-because I, uh, just wanted to know. You sounded like you thought I might not even care if you were crying." Inu Yasha explained. "Well, you save my life numerous times. But when it comes down to feelings, you don't even seem to bother to care." Kagome admitted. "Well then, we're gonna have to fix that, won't we?" Inu Yasha said with a smug smile.
"What did you say?" Kagome asked, being shocked for the second time today. "I said we're gonna have change that. In fact, I know just how to do it. For this whole week, I promise I'll ALWAYS consider your feelings. No, ya know what, from now on, okay?" Inu Yasha promised her while smiling, knowing Kagome would like that. "Uh, okay. Thanks Inu Yasha." Kagome thanked, still shocked. "Ya know, I think I outta thank you for things from now as well." Inu Yasha said villain-like as he picked Kagome up bridal style and leapt out of the well. When they landed, Inu Yasha whispered into Kagome's ear, "Thank you for joining me on that trip." And walked Kagome into the house.
