Chapter 8
----------------------
{Oh shit! What do I do? Give up the Tetsusaiga for Kagome, or give up Kagome for the Tetsusaiga...}
"Inuyasha! Don't give up the Tetsusaiga for me! You don't need me! I'm just a...jewel detector..." Kagome's eyes started to fill with tears.
"No, Kagome! That's not true! You aren't just a jewel detector!"
{I got to think fast. Wait a minute! What if...}
"Sesshoumaru! I'll throw you the Tetsusaiga and you hand Kagome over to me at the same time, understand!"
"Fine."
{I hope this works...}
Inuyasha threw the Tetsusaiga high above Sesshoumaru as he shoved Kagome over to Inuyasha. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and took off at once, away from Sesshoumaru.
"Inuyasha! Why did you-"
"We gotta get away from him as fast as possible."
"Oh, I get it! You knew he couldn't hold the Tetsusaiga because of his hatred towards mortals! If he tried, it would practically burn his hand off!" She realized that Inuyasha was staring at her. She looked up and saw something she never saw in his eyes before. Fear.
By the time they got back, it was night. Sango, Miroku and Shippo were questioning Inuyasha, but he simply walked away into the forest, towards the Sacred Tree. The three gave Kagome questioning looks as she stared off after him.
"What's with him?" Sango asked, more to herself than anything.
"I better go see if he's alright." Kagome said as she stood up and headed towards the forest. She didn't know what way he went but followed the direction of his aura.
She found him sitting in the Sacred Tree. {I should have known this is were he was headed.} She stepped into the clearing and sat under the tree, not looking up at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. She just simply sat directly underneath him by the roots of the tree. {Why did I feel so scared when Sesshoumaru said he'd kill Kagome if I didn't give him the Tetsusaiga. Do I love Kagome?}
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah."
"You didn't look alright..."
"..."
"Inuyasha. Where you scared that Sesshoumaru would have killed me?"
"..."
"Come down here and join me, will ya?"
Inuyasha hesitated but jumped down from the tree and sat beside Kagome. {Why am I blushing? This is Kagome! I shouldn't be blushing around her!} "Huh?" Kagome was hug him and started crying. Inuyasha was confused. {Why is she crying?}
"Inuyasha! I was so scared! I know I said not to give up the Tetsusaiga for me, but I was hoping you wouldn't! I was so sure you'd pick the sword over me!" She put her arms around his neck and cried on her arm. "I thought – hiccup - you didn't like me..."
Inuyasha's first instinct was to hug her and calm her. He lifted her head so he could se into her eyes and wiped the tears off her face.
"Kagome. I would have chosen you, no matter what."
"Really?"
"Really."
Inuyasha started to lean into Kagome. He was an inch away from her when a twig snapped from behind a bush. Inuyasha growled and Kagome jump at the sound. Shippo poked his head out from behind the bush.
"Sorry you two." He grinned and ran off towards the hut. Kagome sighed and looked up at Inuyasha. He was staring at where Shippo was. He sighed and looked down to find Kagome looking at him. Inuyasha just sat there, staring into Kagome's big, brown eyes.
Kagome started to blush when Inuyasha stared into her eyes. {He's looking at me like he does at Kikyo.} She stood up and fixed her shirt.
"Goodnight, Inuyasha. Have a good sleep, okay?" She flashed him a beautiful smile and walked off towards Kaede's hut.
All Inuyasha could do was stare after Kagome, with his mouth open. {Did we almost kiss? If the little brat didn't butt in, we would have. And that smile she flashed me seemed sincere. Did she want to kiss me like I wanted to kiss her?} Inuyasha got up from underneath the tree and walked back to the hut. When he got there, he sat down beside the door to Kagome's room and was overcome by a deep-sleep in a matter of seconds.
Kagome walked back to the hut with her hand on her chest, feeling her heart race. {Did...Did we almost kiss? I don't believe it! I think I'm in love with Inuyasha!} She sensed his aura begin to make it's way back to the hut as well. Kagome quietly entered the hut and went to her room. She quickly changed into her pyjamas and waited for Inuyasha to return.
"I never seem to sleep well when I'm in the Feudal Era unless Inuyasha's close by."
She heard him enter the hut and sit beside the door to her room. When she was sure he was a sleep, she snuck out of her room and sat down beside him. The scent of the mountains and forests from his hair made her very sleepy. She rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep immediately.
