I'm getting tired of typing that, so MEMORIZE IT!!!! lol.
Recap: InuYasha confesses his feelings for Kagome and she doesn't return them...at least not yet.
Kagome tore through the forest, desperately trying to get back to camp. She soon plopped down, exhausted, confused, and hopelessly lost.
['Hmm....that tree over there looks familiar...OMG!!! I've been here before!!!! This is just dandy (-_____-)! I wonder if InuYasha is okay. Can he hear me if I shout? Well...he probably won't want to come and get me.'] Kagome paused abruptly in her thoughts as she heard a twig snap.
"InuYasha?!?!" she called out softly. Panic swelled in Kagome's chest when no one answered. She cautiously peered at the bushes behind her. Kagome could see a long, pink tail peeking out of the bushes behind her.
Kagome stumbled backwards flattening herself against the tree trunk. She was barely breathing and was straining her ears to hear what was going on. Her heart jumped into her throat as she heard the bushes rustle and some light footsteps behind her. Finally, unable to hold it back any longer, Kagome let out an ear-splitting scream.
InuYasha's ears perked up when he recognized Kagome's scream. ['Kagome!'] he thought while jumping up and dashing off into the forest.
Meanwhile, Kagome watched the thing crawl out of the bushes. Slowly, two pink ears poked out of the bushes, followed by a beautiful mane of jet black hair, and soon a little face popped out of the bushes altogether. Kagome only saw this for a second, however, before a large red blob stood in front of her. As Kagome steadily regained her wits, she realized that the "blob" was, in fact, InuYasha.
"InuYasha..."Kagome whispered. The only answer she received was a nod of the head from the hanyou who had assumed a protective, ready stance in front of her. He had drawn the Tetsusaiga long ago and now let out a growl that was full of utter loathing.
"What do you want?"
"Calm down, dog breath," came the confident and calm reply. "I was only sent here on a mission from Lord Sesshomaru. I'm not to kill any of you."
"Who are you?" Kagome's meek voice called to her. She had never seen a creature so mesmerizing, so entrancing, and so....beautiful. Surely is name must be just as gorgeous!
"My name??? My name is none of your concern right now. You will know soon enough. You," she said, nodding towards InuYasha, "are to meet Lord Sesshomaru by the waterfall at six o' clock tonight. Don't be late. You may bring one person with you, no more, no less. Got it?"
InuYasha's only reply was a nod, but he couldn't help wondering what this mysterious stranger wanted. As InuYasha closed his eyes in thought, Kagome studied his face. He looked so gentle, so kind, so....cute! ['Awww!!! He's so adorable when he's concentrating!'] Kagome thought.
InuYasha was lost in daydreams of what his half-brother could want. He had just fallen into a particularly dismal one when he felt a pair of arms laid gently around his shoulders.
"Huh?" He looked down to see that Kagome was hugging him. His expression quickly softened and his reverie vanished. All he could think about was Kagome. He cautiously placed his arms around her waist and returned her embrace.
"Kagome," he looked down at her, only to see tears gently streaming off her face. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry," came Kagome's muffled reply. "I should have told you something when you made your love known to me."
"What is it?" ['Oh shit! Don't tell me she has a boyfriend!!! Damnit!']
"I....I love you too, InuYasha."
