'Inuyasha has been so nice to me lately' Kagome thought 'I don't know why but I don't mind at all!'. Kagome was walking through the forest dwelling on her thoughts for Inuyasha and other recent occurrences.

Flashback

Inuyasha and Kagome were getting wood for the campfire that night. Kagome picks up some wood but gets a sliver on her arm. "Ow" she says. Inuyasha takes the wood from Kagome and put is by his feet. He takes her arm and looks at the cut and sliver, "Inuyasha ..." Kagome starts "it isn't that bad, just a little sliver". "Feh Inuyasha said as he picks out the sliver and wets his fingers with his tong to stop the bleeding.

When their was a scab Inuyasha picked up his wood as well as Kagome's. He turned around and started walking back to camp. Kagome surged and started to pick up more wood but when Inuyasha seas this he comes back and his hand on her shoulder saying "we have enough wood Kagome" Inuyasha gets up and pulls Kagome with him. They walk back to camp together.

End flashback

Kagome walked to the waters edge and jumped in, it felt good to be somewhat clean again.

Flashback

"Be more careful Kagome, you could get hurt " he said.

end flashback

Inuyasha was sleeping in a tree above Kagome's sleeping bag thinking about the past events. His thoughts turned to the beautiful girl sleeping beneath him. 'she is so beautiful' he thought 'Wah....what Inuyasha get a grip on!...I can't be in love with her.. Can I? ... No way ...ok maybe I am ..... ok ok YES I'm in love with Kagome. She hold my heart now not Kikyo...I guess I'll have to tell Kikyo good-bye... I want to be with Kagome not Kikyo' Inuyasha fell asleep with dreams of Kagome

3 days later

Inuyasha and the gang are walking down a dirt path to the next village were Kagome was sensing a jewel shard when a soul stealer want by. 'Kikyo" he thought 'I'll tell her now'

Kagome saw the soul stealer to 'well we all know were he's going tonight' she thought. Inuyasha slowed down to walk beside Kagome "come with me" he said "were?" Kagome asked, Inuyasha smiled and said "you'll see". He then turned to Sango and Miroku saying "Kagome and I will catch up to you guys later so go on without us"

He turned to Kagome and picks her up bridal style, smiles at her and then jumps into the trees to follow the soul stealers.

'What is he doing? He never carries me like this and he never smiles like that' Kagome thought. 'She's a lot stronger then I thought. I can feel her muscles even better when I carrier her like this.' Inuyasha thought.

They stopped a little ways from were Kikyo was (Kagome doesn't know that yet). Inuyasha set her down and pulled at her arm saying "come on". He took Kagome right to the tree Kikyo was leaning against. Kagome gasped when she saw Kikyo she turned to leave not wanting to see Inuyasha with her, but Inuyasha caught her hand and pulled her to his side. Kikyo watch wondering what Inuyasha was doing with Kagome here.

"Kikyo, I've come to say goodbye" he said "my heat belongs to someone else". Kikyo just nodded her head she slowly got up and walked to Inuyasha giving him a quick hug. "I can't make you love me" she said to Inuyasha then turned to Kagome saying "Take good care of him" she smiled and was lifted into the sky by her soul stealers.

Inuyasha had just given up Kikyo for her and all she could do was stare at the spot Kikyo once stood. 'He left for me, I can't believe it this has to be a dream' Inuyasha looked at Kagome who was just staring into space. He placed one hand on her chin and pulled it over so she was looking into his eyes. Inuyasha smiled as he let her chin go. They stood their for a short moment.

Kagome's hands flew around his neck as his arms grabbed her waist they were locked in a tight hug and neither let go. Inuyasha picked Kagome up still holding the embrace, and moved in circles/ swinging Kagome round and round.

He stopped turning and set Kagome on her feet. She slid her hand down his arm as his hands ran down her arms to find each others hands. When their hands met they held hands with a firm grip. "come with me" Inuyasha said as he pulled Kagome along behind him by her hand.

Inuyasha led them through some thick forest and brush. He stopped at the edge of a clearing to look Kagome gasps as they move forward slowly through the clearing to a blooming apple tree "It's beautiful" she says

"I used to come her when I was a kid" Inuyasha says "It always made me feel better"

Inuyasha sat down at the base of the tree pulling Kagome with him. She landed sideways on his lap. He took one hand in his and wrapped his other arm around Kagome's waist. Kagome gasped at Inuyasha's actions he had never shown his affections this way before.

They stared into each others eyes for a few moments just thinking about how much they love one another. Inuyasha leaned down so close Kagome could feel his breath play across her face. Inuyasha stopped waiting for Kagome to say 'it' was ok. She leaned forward a little and Inuyasha closed the space in between them. When his lips landed on hers Kagome felt her stomach flutter. Her first kiss. Inuyasha was surprised, he didn't think Kagome would let him kiss her after all he had done to her. Her lips were soft and his were firm. Inuyasha tightened his grip on her as her fingers ran through his long, silver hair. When they broke apart for air Inuyasha hugged Kagome tight to him as if to never let go. "I was stupid Kagome" he said "I was looking for love in Kikyo but it was right here with you all the time.... If you will have me Kagome, I would like to call you my woman, and for you to call me yours" she turned to look in his eyes he looked scared as if he were to lose something close to him "of course, Inuyasha, I would love to be you girlfriend" he leaned down and took her lips for the second time that night. "You're making me the happiest man in the world Kagome" he whispered in her ear. She fell asleep on his shoulder as the sun disappeared over the mountain.

They woke to the sound of birds flying through the trees. Inuyasha looked down into Kagome's eyes and kissed her. "I love you" she said "I love you to" he replied. They walked back to camp hand in hand.
