Try to see if my hand holds this then...)

Disclaimer: I know I don't own InuYasha or any of the other characters...

sheesh, do you always have to remind me???

OK! Here you go!

Love lost love found Chapter VI

They arrived on the wooden dancefloor as the first tunes rang out in the air.

Sure I know you'd like to have me

talk about my future

Inu-Yasha pulled Kagome tight into an embrace, twirling her around on the dancefloor.

And a million words or so to fill you in about my past

Have I sisters or a brother

When's my birthday how's my mother

Well my dear in time I'll answer all those things you ask

But for now I'll just say I love you

Nothing more seems important somehow

And tomorrow can wait come whatever

Let me love you forever but right now

Right now

Some fine day when we go walking

We'll take time for idle talking

Sharing every feeling as we watch each other smile

I'll hold your hand you'll hold my hand

We'll say things we never had planned

Then we'll get to know each other in a little while

But for now I'll just say I love you

Later on there'll be time for so much more

But for now meaning now and forever

Let me kiss you my darling then once more

Once more

But for now let me say I love you

Later on I must know much more of you

But for now here and now how I love you

As you are in my arms I love you

I love you

As the last words sang in the air, Inu-Yasha loosened his grip, and looked straight into Kagome's eyes.

I love you...

Gently he leaned closer and pressed his lips softly onto Kagome's in a quick kiss.

As they walked back to their table, hand-in-hand, they found Hakudoushi waiting for them.

"Awww...you two make such a sweet couple!" he sighed beaming happily at them both. Kagome could feel the red on her cheeks get even deeper as she blushed, and hid her face in the sleeves of Inu-Yashas jacket.

"I just came by to see if you two needed anything?" Hakudoushi continued.

Inu-Yasha glanced at Kagome.

"I think we're ready to order now." He said as he pulled out a chair for Kagome.

"You know I never wanted to hurt you?" Inu-Yasha said shyly as they were waiting for their dinner.

He knew they would have to go through the ending of their previous relationship sometime soon.

Kagome was quickly pulled out of the daydreaming she'd been doing through the window again.

"I know that..." she replied turning her eyes to the half-empty glass of champagne in front of her.

"You just did, that's all..." she continued her voice getting smaller and smaller by every word she uttered.

"But I didn't mean it! I don't know what came over me..." Inu-Yasha blabbered. "First I'm with you, then I see you with Koga. I could still handle Koga, I knew he meant nothing to you...But then I saw you hugging Miroku. That broke my heart...that you'd want him more than me..."

"Yet, you didn't tell me why you broke up with me! You just stated that it wasn't working anymore, and left me with that. I've been brooding over that for ten years now, Inu-Yasha! Ten years! Why didn't you tell me that it was because of that? I could've explained the whole situation to you then."

Kagome was shocked. She'd never known the exact reason why Inu-Yasha had left her. She'd always thought Miroku had told him.

"You could tell me now, couldn't you?" Inu-Yasha tried, not sure he even wanted to know why she'd been with Miroku.

"Do you remember me phoning you, telling you that I couldn't come to the movies with you?" Kagome started.

"Yeah, that was the day I saw you with Miroku...the day we broke up...why?" Inu-Yasha wasn't at all certain where this was going.

"What I didn't tell you was that I didn't feel well that day. I felt sick to my stomach. So I went to check it out." Kagome went on. "It was outside the doctor's office where Miroku found me crying."

Inu-Yasha was stunned. 'She was crying? Why?'

"I...I had just found out that I was pregnant, and since I didn't know how to tell you, Miroku offered to help me come up with something...him being your best friend and all..." Kagome whispered, sad tears building up in her blue-grey eyes.

Inu-Yasha nearly dropped off his chair. "I...umm...I didn't know...I just assumed..." he stammered.

'She was pregnant?!? And I left her! What a dope I am!' his mind was racing with millions of questions and accusations against himself. Where was the child now? The penthouse didn't quite look like a

playground for a ten-year-old kid...besides, how could she have that kind of career with a small child to be taken care of??? He just didn't have the nerve to go asking her right now.

"That's just it." Kagome continued. "You only assumed. You assumed me cheating on you with Miroku. So you left me. And I lost the child. Miscarriage. So I decided I'd forget about you, just as you'd

forgotten about me so easily. It wasn't easy I'll tell you that. I guess I'd never get over you completely...the hardest part was to read about your marriage to Kikyo in the newspapers..." she said ending her lecture about how-to-get-dumped-by-Inu-Yasha-and-how-I-got-dumped-by-him.

Inu-Yasha just sat there staring down at his clenched hands in his lap.

'Miscarriage? And she didn't tell me! But, I guess it was kinda my fault for running out on her...'

Inu-Yasha lifted his gaze looking at a tearfaced Kagome. She was looking out the window again, going through the emotions that had been agonizing her all these 10 years. Atleast now she'd said it. He deserved to know what he'd put her through. It was out of her hands now...

"I'm here now. I won't leave you again." Inu-Yasha said as he took her hand back into his. "I'm sorry for before...I really am."

Kagome looked up, her eyes still glistening with tears, and smiled. "Let's not talk about that anymore, ok? Let's just enjoy tonight. I still haven't shown you around NewYork!"

With that they noticed their food arriving, and Inu-Yasha was forced to let go of Kagome's hand, still not letting his gaze of her for the whole duration of dinner.

'I'm here now Kagome. I won't let you have to be alone anymore....'

Teehee....

Sooooo? REVIEW!

The song was "But for now" by Jamie Cullum, and I don't own him either.

That's it...I'll have to see if I can come up with the continue during this day, or if I have to take a day inbetween...a breather so to speak...)

Until next time!
