Part III: "Good Night Kagome"
(Scene: Later that night, Kagome's room)
"That was a great meal." said Inu-Yasha lying back on the soft mattress "What were those things called again?"
"Hot dogs, it wasn't really that big of a meal." Kagome replied as she rest her head on her feather pillow. "Mom had to work late, neither Sota or Grandpa can cook, there was nothing in the fridge, so I made something simple. I'm glad you liked them though."
Only a few hours had passed since Inu-Yasha had arrived in Kagome's time, and already he had learned so much. Things as simple as electricity. What use could a force be if you couldn't see it, but he had been proven wrong.
'What an amazing world she lives in.' he thought. "Kagome?" Inu-Yasha whispered "Do you think tomorrow, I could see more of your era? I want to see more of these new age marvels. Everything here is so different from my time, but it's good. I love it here."
"I'll take you into the city tomorrow." Kagome whispered while shifting to the edge of her bed so she could see him. "I'll show you all sorts of modern things."
"That'll be great!"
This was the side of Inu-Yasha that Kagome loved. Not to say she didn't like him when he was tough and arrogant, that was perhapsthe part of him that made her love him to begin with, but Kagome loved to see Inu-Yasha happy. 'I wish that us being together like this never had to end.' She thought. A sweet thought that she held tightly until she fell fast asleep.
"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha sat up and found her asleep facing him. He couldn't sleep, he was too excited at the prospects of tomorrow, who knew what he'd see.
He simply sat there and stared for some time, an odd change from her staring at him. Her black hair and silky skin shone in what little moonlight crept through the window's blinds. She just seemed to shimmer, an aura of beauty and perfection surrounding her.
'Kagome.' He thought studying her from the floor. 'I want to be with you more than anything else in the world...' The very aroma that flowed from her body was intoxicating to him, he always felt stronger when she was around.
'But I want to be with Kikyo too. I still feel for her, I still love her. I just don't know what to do.' A light tapping began on the window as a gentle rain began to fall from the heavens. 'I'm sorry for everything I've ever done that's hurt you. If I could call the rain to wash away your tears and the pain that you've felt, I would.'
He stroked one hand over her face and through her hair. His cool hand felt warmer than he was used to, her warm face, almost soothing to touch. Her pleasureable warmth to his chilled cold.She was the peaceful yin to his raging yan, Kagome and no other.
'Peace.' He thought mockingly 'A word I hear all the time, but have never known. Kagome's the closest thing to peace I have around me, but...'
He looked over his own hands and thought of everything he had done with them. 'How much blood have I spilled after all these years? All the fighting and killing, what's the point? Why do I fight?'
The enchanted necklace felt like a noose around his neck as he twiddled it in between his fingers. ' I fight for the Shikon jewel.' He remembered suddenly 'I fight to become a full demon. As soon as the jewel is restored, I can become what I've always wanted to be, a demon. But what if I change too much? I've become a full demon a few times before, and I couldn't ever recognize friend from foe. What if I hurt someone when I become a full demon, what if I hurt Kagome...'
Inu-Yasha shook his head. 'I don't want to hurt any of my friends, but I want to be a demon. I'm sorry Kagome, I've just got a lot on my mind right now.'
He almost went to lie down again, but then tirned back to Kagome. He ran a hand through her smooth black hair, then slowly leaned in, and gently pressed his lips upon hers.
"Good night Kagome."
