Chapter 6: The Surprise
'Kagome?' He thought before passing out. When he awoke he found his wounds were bandaged up. He remembered the battle; what had happened? He had thought he'd seen Kagome; but it couldn't have been. He looked around, he was in a cave next to a small fire. 'How'd I get here and who'd build that fire?' Something smelled good; it was sitting near the fire. He got up and looked at the bowel; ramen, it was ramen. He picked it up and ate it. It was then he realized that there was a pack not far from him. He went to investigate. He opened it to find a couple of familiar things. School books, paper, pens; then he stumbled upon the jewel shards. 'This was Kagome's!' He realized in anger. 'Thief! Whoever it is will pay dearly!' He thought, putting the shards back so that the owner would not know it had been disturbed. He noticed that Tetsusaiga wasn't far from where he'd been sleeping. 'Whoever it is they were real dumb to leave Tetsusaiga unguarded.' He got up and was heading for it when he heard footsteps. Grabbing Tetsusaiga, he drew it only to come face-to-face with Kagome who was carrying sticks for the fire. "Nice to see you too. She said, setting the firewood down. He just stood where he was, stunned. She turned to him, giving him a concerned look. "What's wrong Inuyasha? You look like you've seen a ghost." Shaking himself he sheathed Tetsusaiga. "I must have took a harder beating then I thought. There is no way this is real." He said after a while.
"Believe it, though why you'd doubt your own sense is beyond me." "You're dead though. I saw it myself." "I can prove you're not dreaming. Sit." She said calmly. In not time at all Inuyasha fell flat on his face. It was a short time before he got up. When he did though the look in his eyes made her freeze. He took one tentative step towards her. "Kagome?" He said uncertainly, as if he didn't believe but wanted to. She walked over to him; entreaty in was in his eyes for her to prove that she was real and alive. She hesitated only for a moment before running into his arms. He Held her close, wrapping his arms around her and burying his head in her hair; the mixed smell of soap and light perfume assaulted his senses. His heart beat with joy; he didn't want to let her go. His voice was so soft that she almost didn't hear him. "Kagome, I missed you so much." She said nothing' they stood there for a moment in silence, neither wanting to end it. At last he let go and Kagome sat down near the fire. Inuyasha joined her; instead of sitting next to her though he did something she didn't expect. He laid his head in her lap; she folded her legs to the side. He didn't say anything. Kagome began to gently rub his ears; she couldn't resist. He didn't stop her though but just closed his eyes. Before he knew it he was purring. It startled him but he didn't tell her to stop. He never felt so relaxed. He eventually fell asleep from her gentle touch. When he awoke in the middle of the night the fire was dim; his ears twitched as he realized the noise that had awoken him was coming from Kagome.
She was sleeping on the other side of the fire; shivering from the cold. He got up and poked the fire but he couldn't get it going again so he did the next best thing. He laid down next to her, pulling her against him. She snuggled close to him in her sleep as his body head warmed her. He was a little startled by her move but he only pulled her closer. He looked at her tenderly. 'I will always protect you, I will not fail again. My love, my mate.' He thought to himself, not really caring to deny his own thoughts. He too settled down to sleep again, the two sleeping peacefully. Both sleeping better then they had ever done so before.
