Instant Recap!
"Kagome..."
"Inuyasha..."
They both knew that nothing could ever go back to the way it was after that.
Gold and brown eyes met in a moment of wonder and uncertainty. In a few short moments everything these two knew got turns upside down and reversed itself.
And y'know what?
Rough lips met soft ones in a battle of the hearts. Rough hands ran through dark raven hair. Softer hands ran through snow white hair. Passions flared and emotions poured forth.
Neither of them wanted it to...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daybreak struck the two hanyou sooner than they would have wished. Inuyasha was the first one to stir from his, for once, peaceful slumber. He fondly looked down at the girl wrapped contently in his arms. Inuyasha gently stroked her cheek. "Kagome... Kagome..." he murmured.
The raven haired girl shifted a bit and mumbled something along the lines of "Sleep... 5 more minutes... stupid Buyo, come back here... I want my rice ball."
Inuyasha chuckled softly before nudging Kagome out of her dream. "Kagome... It's time to wake up."
Kagome opened one eye sleepily and glanced at Inuyasha. "But..." Kagome yawned, "I was so comfortable..." she finished, stretching a bit. She gave Inuyasha an affectionate ear-tweak, grinning at his playful growl. "Last night was fun..." she whispered in his ear."We should do it again some time."
A/N: Okay all you hentai's out there xD They didn't "do it", they just kissed, caressed, snuggled, etc., then fell asleep under a tree XD Nothing THAT far. After all, this is a PG-13 ficcy XD
Inuyasha tried to hide the blush that forced its way onto his face, but, unfortunately for him, failed miserably. Kagome giggled, and Inuyasha thought about how much he enjoyed hearing her laugh.
"I'm going to go and take a bath, if you try to peek I'll tweak your ears, and not in the way you like it, either!" Kagome said, squirming out of Inuyasha's grasp and walking through the forest until she reached a nice little clearing with a secluded area of water.
Inuyasha sighed, suddenly missing having Kagome curled up in his arms. He stretched and yawned a bit before perching himself up on a tree so that he had clear view of the area Kagome was in, but to where he couldn't actually see her. 'I wish last night hadn't ended...' he thought, crossing his arms, 'What's going to happen now? I wonder what she considers us...'
Kagome was thinking along the same lines. She knew better than to give Inuyasha enough credit to consider her a girlfriend or something. How to go about finding out? "I could just say it outright..." Kagome said to herself, washing away the dirt from her skin. She soaked in the slightly chilly water for a bit, rolling the Shikon no Tama in-between her fingers. "Why turn me into a Hanyou?" she murmured, watching the light bounce off of the Jewel, "Why a Hanyou...? Was it something about my Soul's greatest wish?" A million questions buzzed around her head as she crawled out of the bath area and got dressed. Kagome found herself humming an American song that she hadn't heard in ages...
"Spend all your time waiting,
For that second chance...
For a break that would make it okay,
There's always one reason,
To feel not good enough,
And it's hard at the end of the day,
I need some distraction...
Oh, Beautiful release,
Memory seeps from my veins.
Let me be empty,
And weightless and maybe,
I'll find some peace tonight..."
Kagome found herself singing a bit louder, for once at total peace with herself.
"In the arms of an Angel,
Fly away from here...
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent.. reverie,
You're in the arms of the Angel,
May you find... Some comfort there."
Kagome took a deep breathe and began again.
"So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and thieves at your back,
And the storm keeps on twisting,
You keep on building the lie,
That you make up for all that you lack,
It don't make no difference,
Escaping one last time...
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness, Oh,
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees..."
By this time Inuyasha could hear her and watched her slowly make her way back to their camp area, swaying in time to the song. He wondered why her voice sounded so sad while she sung. A/N: X3 it's such a sad sounding song... -sniffle-
"In the arms of an Angel,
Fly away from here...
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent... reverie,
You're in the arms of the Angel,
May you find... Some comfort there."
Kagome took a deep breath and wondered why she had been reminded of such a sad song. Sure, it reminded her of Inuyasha, but why remember all the sad things? Kagome stopped for a moment and studied the Shikon no Tama again. This Jewel was definitely trying to tell her something, but Kagome didn't get what. She had been granted the gift of being a Hanyou, finally gotten a kiss from Inuyasha that he DIDN'T take back once everything was said and done, and now she was singing depressing songs. God, maybe she should have stayed asleep longer. Kagome sighed and continued her walk back to Inuyasha, who she knew had been watching her the whole time. It didn't take an idiot to figure that out.
Inuyasha jumped down from the tree as soon as Kagome arrived back at their camp. "Hey, Kagome..." he began carefully.
"Hmm?"
"Why... Why were you singing such a sad sounding song?" he asked, a bit worried.
"Honestly, I don't have the slightest clue." Kagome held up the Shikon no Tama into the bright sunlight and looked at it. "As odd as it sounds, I think it's telling me to be careful." As Kagome said her theory out loud, she felt a sickening nervousness settle over her soul. Something was definitely going to happen.
Inuyasha noticed her worried expression and carefully walked up behind Kagome, wrapping his arms around her in a warm hug. He mumbled something just out of her hearing.
"What did you say?"
Inuyasha paused for a moment. "I said... I..." Dammit, his mind wasn't going to make this easy, was it? "I... I love you, Kagome." He waited, worried about her not accepting his feelings.
"I love you, too, Inuyasha."
He let out the breath he had been holding and held Kagome closer, resting his chin on her head. "Whatever the Jewel is trying to tell you, we'll figure it out. If there's danger coming, I'll protect you, you know that, right?"
"Right." Kagome smiled. "Now then, let's make some breakfast, I'm starved. How about ramen?"
If Inuyasha had died then, he could have died happy and dreaming of ramen noodles. Without a second thought he dove into Kagome's bag and pulled out a few packages of ramen, grinning broadly.
Kagome sweatdropped but smiled anyway. 'Some things I doubt will ever change...'

/).( ah, that sucked so badly. Oh well, I've got a good idea to where I'm gonna take this chapter. I apologize for all the fluff this chapter (even though most of you love it anyway!) XD Let's see who can guess what's gonna happen in the story... The song has a lot to do with it :D
Thank you, again, for all the reviews. You have NO idea how happy it made me, even though I DID start to think that the reviews were attacking XD!
Ja!
