Chapter Six: The Plan

"Kagome what's going on?" InuYasha repeated.

"InuYasha I asked Sesshomaru to help me. Don't be angry at him; be mad at me if you want to be mad at anyone." Kagome said.

"I don't understand Kagome. You told me you had the same feelings for me as I had for you. Was that a lie?" InuYasha asked.

"No it wasn't a lie. This was to show you what it is like for me every time I knew you had been or was with Kikyo. I just wanted you to have a glimpse of what I feel." Kagome replied.

"I thought we already took care of that problem Kagome." InuYasha said quietly.

"Maybe for you but not for me, I need to know for sure, with out a doubt that you won't run off with Kikyo." Kagome replied.

"I have a question for Sesshomaru. Why are you so willing to help a human girl when you despise them?" InuYasha asked.

"Because it is my revenge also, not just Kagome's. It's a way that I can hurt you with out hurting Kagome or you physically." Sesshomaru replied.

"Since when do you care about hurting me?" InuYasha asked.

Sesshomaru just ignored the question which made InuYasha a bit upset. At that point Kagome stood up and walked toward InuYasha.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you. I was only trying to get you to see from my perspective. I'm going back home now." Kagome said.

She went right past InuYasha, Sango, Miroku and Shippo.

"If you still love her, go after her." Miroku, Shippo and Sesshomaru yelled at the same time.

All InuYasha could do though was stand there and look to where Kagome was headed.

"InuYasha, do you still love her?! If you do you need to forgive her and go after her. If you don't now, you'll lose her forever!" Sango yelled.

"I knew I should have listened to Sango. At least I would still have InuYasha right now." Kagome said.

Kagome was headed home. She knew that she wasn't wanted anymore. She could tell by the way InuYasha looked back in the clearing that he wasn't going to forgive her.

"I don't deserve to be forgiven. I did something terrible." Kagome when on saying.

"What do you mean by you don't deserve to be forgiven. Between the both of us, I should be the least forgivable." A familiar voice said.

Kagome turned around to see InuYasha standing there. He had come for her. But she still didn't know where she stood with him. She wanted to run to him but she didn't know whether he would still accept her. InuYasha noticed this and it hurt him in what he saw in Kagome's eyes. He wanted to take away all the pain that he had caused her in the past so he said two simple words that would help that process of healing.

"Come here." InuYasha said simply.

Those were the exact words that she was hoping to hear. Kagome ran to him. She couldn't hold it back any longer. She just had to be held by InuYasha. She wanted nothing more than to be held by him. She loved him so much. When she reached him, he had his arms out to greet her. He took Kagome into his arms and just held her there close to his body. She was so happy. InuYasha could tell that her body was going wild on the inside. He just wanted to take right then and there but he knew it was wrong. But he could feel that Kagome wanted the same just she was so confused in what to do at the moment. Kagome had mix feelings about what she wanted. She wanted to say something but InuYasha beat her to it.

"Kagome I'm sorry that I hurt you when I was with Kikyo. You're right; you have every right to want to make sure that I won't leave you for Kikyo. And I'm telling you now that I will never leave you. You and only you have been the one there when I needed someone the most. You cried for me, you laughed for me, you have always been there for me and I want to return that to you. I want to be there for you, I want to be someone you can cry to and be happy with. I love you Kagome and I will always love you." InuYasha said.

Kagome was speechless. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. That was the most InuYasha had ever said to her that was nice. She totally believed him now that he wouldn't leave her for Kikyo.

"I love you too, InuYasha. I have always loved you and I will always love you, InuYasha." Kagome said while starting to cry.

All InuYasha could do in response was smile. Kagome had no idea how much that meant to him to hear that. Again the feeling of wanting to take Kagome right now came rushing up at InuYasha but he suppressed it away. He loved Kagome enough to wait for her. He just held her tighter to him so he could keep smelling her wonderful scent. Then Sesshomaru, Sango, Miroku and Shippo came upon them hugging each other.

"So you guys aren't fighting anymore?" Shippo asked then ducked away when InuYasha looked at him.

"We're done fighting all together." InuYasha replied without noticing that Shippo ducked away.

"So...are you and Sesshomaru going to act like brothers?" Miroku, Sango, and Kagome asked at the same time.

"I don't know. How 'bout it bro, want to fight on the same side with me?" InuYasha asked Sesshomaru.

"..." Sesshomaru couldn't find an answer that didn't sound too excited.

"Well?" Everyone asked.

"Okay." Sesshomaru said in his regular monotone voice.

"Yea!!!" Shippo cried out.

These friends went on their way through the forest. There would be many new adventures for them in the days to come. It all worked out in the end though. Sesshomaru and InuYasha are now going to fight side by side with each other and Kagome and InuYasha are actually going to have some what of a open relationship.
