Ok guys/girls! This is my ending. I really loved writing this story, part of me doesn't want it to end. So enjoy! B!

Just in case I forgot:

"Speech"

"Thoughts"

Chapter 9

Inuyasha groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked around to see that he was near the god tree. He slowly stood up and took a deep breath. He looked up to see Kagome's house. He noticed that her light was still opened she is waiting for me. Inuyasha made his choice, he told Midoriko what he truly wanted and he had no regrets. He remembers Midoriko's eyes as he told her decision. Even though she showed no emotions he noticed that her eyes spoke enough for him. He wondered if she thought he did the right decision or not. He sighed. He doesn't regret it. The question he asked himself was what does he do now? Before he went to see Kagome, there was one thing he had to do. He slowly walked towards the tree. As he looked at it, he reminisced at how important the tree meant to him. He remembers when Kikyo pinned him on this tree. He remembers the pain when the arrow went through him. He also remembers the day when he opened his eyes to see a panicked Kagome asking for his help. Kagome! ... I'm thankful I met you then. You changed me, you truly did. Inuyasha caressed the bark of the tree. He was ready he told himself. He grabbed Kagome's diary that was on the ground as he rushed through the shrine to Kagome's house, to her room.

Kagome's point of view

Ok, Kagome listen to yourself, stop crying! Everything will be ok. Ok, maybe lecturing myself is not that good. I feel... so confused... part of me still can't believe what happened.

flashback

I remember reading the diary and then suddenly I was in a hospital room. I saw myself, well, me when I was younger. That was when I had my accident but why was I here. Did something happened to me, did I really know Inuyasha before I fell down the well? I saw a sad girl; it took me a while to realize it was me. She asked me if I wanted to remember. I was so confused. I said yes, if I truly met Inuyasha before I wanted to remember. The little me went to hug me and she was absorbed by me. I remember catching by breath as I was assailed with memories. Me and Inuyasha talking. He who promised to protect me. The day in the hospital when he said goodbye. My heart broke again when I relieved those moments. I remember opening my eyes and seeing Inuyasha there. I was so in the moment that I broke down and cried. He doesn't remember I told myself, he doesn't know what happened. But... but when I saw him open his arms for me to hug him, I rushed him. He did the same thing when I was younger. I loved him even more, if that was possible.

end of flashback

Now he knows. When he finishes reading the diary he will know that I love him. I might have been young when I wrote that but that wasn't a lie. I loved him then as I love him now.

Kagome lied down on her bed and squeezed her pillow harder. Waiting was always so difficult for her. She wouldn't push Inuyasha though, she promised herself that. Sleep was trying to claim her. She was tired. She cried so much this night and so many things happened. She tried her hardest to stay awake but her body was so tired. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep dreaming of her proud dog ear protector.

Inuyasha's heart beated faster and faster as he made his way towards Kagome. What would he do when he saw her? What would he say? These questions played back in his head. He blocked them away; he didn't want to hear his doubts. The one thing he really wanted to do right now was to see Kagome. He jumped up to Kagome's window and carefully entered her room. He closed his eyes and took a small sniff. This whole room smelled like Kagome. He opened his eyes and looked on the bed to see Kagome. He carefully made his way towards her, not to wake her up. He bended down on his knees as he looked at an angel face Kagome slowly sleeping. Her breaths were even, her face serene; her dark black hair was neatly laid on her pillow. Inuyasha just stood there and watched her. He heard her slow heart beats. He saw the innocence on her face. I love her! I truly love her. Mesmerized by her, Inuyasha's claw hand slowly caressed her face. He caressed her cheeks and felt her smooth soft skin. He deeply inhaled hoping to imprint her smell in his head forever, in his heart forever. Inuyasha slowly noticed Kagome's eyes started to flutter. She slowly opened her eyes to see Inuyasha hand caressing her face. She looked deep in his amber eyes and lost herself in their golden depth. She slowly smiled a shy smile and her heart fluttered as she saw him smile back at her. Kagome raised her hand and caressed Inuyasha's cheek. He closed his eyes as he felt her touch. His skin was so smooth under her touch as well.

"Kagome" whispered Inuyasha as he felt Kagome's hand caressing him.

Kagome slowly pushed herself to the other side of the bed, leaving space for Inuyasha to lie down next to her. He didn't deny her. As they both lay down on the bed, they stared at each other. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist as he brought her close to his warmth. Kagome wrapped her arm around him as she laid her head on Inuyasha's chest.

"I remember... I remember everything...I remember hearing you talk to me everyday. Telling me how you felt alone. Our talks about everything and nothing." Inuyasha's grip was even tighter when he said "I even remember the day I thought I lost you. I couldn't protect you... the sacrifice... your tears, you wanting to stay with me..."

Kagome held him tighter as she remembered that day as well. "We found each other again, that's what counts. I won't ever let you go Inuyasha, never!"

Inuyasha looked down and stared at Kagome's beautiful eyes.

"Kagome... I want to tell you so much, but... I just can't find the words that can say how much you mean to me. When... when I was asked to choose... I hesitated. Part of me didn't want to remember because, I was afraid that I hurt you."

"Inuyasha, you couldn't..."

"Please, let me finish... you were crying when I found you, I felt your pain and it nearly broke my heart. I thought that I caused it. I didn't want to remember that. I... I was afraid...you mean the world to me; you are the air I breathe. I am your protector; I would protect you against anyone, even if it was me. So I decided, the only way to protect you was to know what happened, to not repeat the same mistakes that I did. When I woke up and remembered everything... it was the moment when I truly felt happy. I... I realized... that I was a coward. I pushed you away so many times because I was afraid. I didn't want to lose you. When I remembered what happened I realized that I would want you to know how I felt. I want you to know that... I, Inuyasha... I love you Kagome. You are my angel, my salvation, my light."

Kagome's eyes filled with tears as she heard Inuyasha's words. They slowly rolled down her eyes as she looked at him. Inuyasha reached and capture every tear.

"Kagome, I didn't want to make you cry" said Inuyasha. He thought he said the wrong thing, Kagome was crying.

Kagome smiled the most dazzling smile as she linked her hand with Inuyasha's.

"They aren't tears of sadness, they are tears of joy. I am so happy Inuyasha, you make me so happy!"

Inuyasha squeezed Kagome's hand. He looked at her bright eyes and said the words he felt the moment he saw her. The moment he heard her name, the 1st day he saw her when she was a child.

"I will love you always Kagome, even when my body fades away, my heart will always beat for you"

"I love you Inuyasha, from the day I first saw you. Even when I stop breathing I will find you, we will always be together, that I will promise"

They both watched there linked hands together and knew that was the truth. They will always be connected. Time doesn't make a difference, their love is eternal and it will never fade, it will only become stronger.
