Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and company; they belong to the great and honorable Rumiko Takahashi. But I do borrow the brothers on the weekends for some all night parties.

Hey everybody this is the second fanfic that I have decided to put on this fabulous site. I hope that you guys like this one. It's an Inuyasha fic and it's mostly a little itty bitty thing. Well I hope that you like. Chapter three was a bit longer than the other two and hopefully this one will be too. Thank all of you for reviewing my fic and I hope to hear some more from you for this one. Hey sorry that it's taken me so long to update. I've been busy with vacation and Girls State here in Louisiana. Well here we go with another chapter.


Previously:

Her hair brushed against his fingertips, as he thought that that would be the last time he got to touch her. She was gone in a flash and out of Inuyasha's life. At that moment something in him snapped, and he ran after her, desperate to catch up.


Inuyasha snapped back into reality, the memory already fading away. All he wanted was to tell her how sorry he was.

He came upon the clearing, hoping that she had not left. But there was no sign of the girl any where. He had arrived too late. Her scent was already fading. For twice that day, Inuyasha had fallen to his knees, his hands gripping onto the well for support. His chance was gone, his Kagome was gone.

" I'm sorry Kagome. I ddn't mean for it to happen. I don't love her. I did at one point, but she's not the same person anymore. I think- I think that I-"

" Inuyasha?"

His ears perked at the sound of her broken voice and his eyes met hers. He could tell that she had been crying, the salt had been in the air and her once creamy face was stained with tears.

" Kagome, I – why Kagome. Why?"

She was thrown back by his question. It wasn't something she had expected. With all the commotion, she had forgotten about her kiss with Kouga.

" Why do you care Inuyasha? You have Kikyo, remember? Shouldn't I be allowed to be happy too?"

" Happy? You think that you can be happy with the wolf?"

" I'm happy with whoever, as long as they treat me right, Inuyasha! Stop talking about it and go back with Kikyo. I moved aside for her, now do the same for me, please. My heart can't take it anymore." She spoke from within, with the last part almost inaudible to the dog-demon.

" Fine! Go to him wench! But I'll let you know something. When I saw you kissing Kouga. . . it broke my heart." He said to her as he got close to her face, making the entire sentence into almost a whisper.

Kagome was dumbfounded. The words coming from Inuyasha's mouth didn't quite register in her head.

" So answer me just once before you leave. Why?" The tears had begun to fall from his eyes, despite his best efforts. It was so unlike him to let his emotions be known.

" Can you tell me why you kissed Kikyo and looked right at me?" She asked him.

Somehow he was expecting that question, but it still stung when she asked it.

" When I saw you, I ran. I couldn't believe it at first, I mean you and the wolf? But considering how I act towards you all the time it was almost waiting to happen. . ."

" I didn't know what was going on. One minute I'm taking a bath and the next. . ."

" That's when I ran into Kikyo and she grabbed onto me. I didn't even feel the kiss, I don't even remember looking at you."

". . . I'm in Kouga's arms and he's kissing me. I didn't want my first kiss to be with him."

" Kagome-"

" Oh Inuyasha, I'm so sorry."

She grabbed onto his robe and pressed her face into his chest. Her cries ached Inuyasha's heart and her salt tears tingled his nose.

" That's funny, cause I cam to apologize to you." He said raising her chin so her eyes would meet his.

" Oh Inuyasha. I don't want Kouga, I never have and I never will," her eyes were searching his and a small smiled came across her face," I told you once that all I want. . . is to be with you."

Those words that she spoke, oh so gently, rekindled a memory in his mind.

" We've both hurt each other, maybe it would be best if I went home."

Inuyasha's ears perked up once more and he looked down to her.

" But I don't want you to leave. Listen, Kagome. I want to tell you something. When I saw you kiss Kouga. . . I realized how much I want you to be with me. Kagome I think that- NO! I know that I l-"

Kagome shushed his speech with her lips. She wanted to hear those words for a long time now. But she was scared of what it might bring or do to them."

" Inuyasha, I know. Because I feel the same way. But kow about we make a deal. When we've both completed out promises, we can speak those words. Deal?"

Inuyasha stepped back a little, and nodded in understanding. It was so like her to think about the outcome of something than to be selfish. They both had jobs and promises to keep, when they were over, neither would have anything holding them back from speaking their feelings. A moment passed between them, when Kagome finally broke their gaze.

" Sorry. But I think the others are looking for us. We should go back and find them."

" yeah and plus, you still gotta change."

Kagome turned cherry red. She had completely forgotten that she was still in a towel. Inuyasha let out a chuckle and then broke into a fit of laughter at her obvious distress.

" And you knew the whole TIME? Ugh! S-I-T B-O-Y!" crash

Inuyasha fell, tasting the cool wet dirt for the first-time that day. Kagome started laughing at Inuyasha's current state and was oblivious to the fact that he disappeared. That was until he snuck up on her and gently tackled her onto the ground. Before they knew it, they were both on the rolling around on the ground and chasing each other.

" Well it looks like they don't need our help, my dear Sango."

" I'm glad they worked it out on their own."

" I must admit, Kagome must look quite lively."

" Pervert!" slap

Sango looked over to her friends and made her way to them, dragging an unconscience Miroku behind her.

" Kagome, I brought your clothes!"

" Sango."

" Whatchya do this time you stupid monk?"

" Oh, how I'm so misunderstood."

As Miroku tried to explain to Inuyasha about what he had done, the girls tried to get Kagome dressed. With Inuyasha chasing Miroku and Sango shielding Kagome as she dressed, the moon disappeared and sun rose up from the horizon. And with it, it brought a new and joyous day.
