Chapter 11: Love Comes Into Play
They continued traveling for a few hours before everyone wanted to rest. Inuyasha stopped in his tracks and growled. "We gotta make it to the next village before night fall!"
Kagome sighed. "Please Inuyasha?" She begged him.
He rolled his eyes. "Fine, we'll rest for a little but then it's back to traveling afterwards." He set Kagome to the ground and jumped into a tree, looking at the forest.
Kagome smiled and then sat down underneath a tree. Laura hopped off Sesshoumaru's back and then walked over to Kagome. She sat down by her and smiled.
"Kagome, can I talk to you for a second?" She asked.
Kagome nodded. "Sure, let's go somewhere else though. Little noisy here." She stood up and walked a little ways into forest. "Ok, what did you want to talk to me about?"
Laura took a deep breath. "Ok, I know you love Inuyasha, you told me that a while ago but I've kinda been hiding something from you." She kicked a stone on the ground.
Kagome looked confused. "What do you mean?"
Laura sighed. "The night I came here, I followed Inuyasha into the forest. He was talking with a woman named Kikyo and she brought you up." She looked at Kagome's face to see worry written on it. "Anyways," She continued. "He was talking to her and he said something that shocked me." Kagome nodded, urging her to continue her story. "He said that he loved you and not Kikyo."
Kagome's mouth fell open with shock. "Laura, why didn't you tell me earlier!" She yelled.
Inuyasha's ears perked up and heard Kagome. 'Must've told her about Sesshoumaru marking her.' He grinned and then went back to looking into the forest.
Laura winced as Kagome yelled. "Keep your voice down! I didn't tell you because Inuyasha told me not to tell you." She sighed. "So, are you going to go talk to him?"
Kagome sighed and shrugged. "I guess I should." She smiled at her. "Thanks for telling me." She then began to head back to the group. Laura followed her.
Upon entering, they found Ame on the floor. Ame then stood back up and began to chase after Rin and Shippou again. Miroku was talking peacefully to a mad Sango and Sesshoumaru was resting against a tree, his eyes closed.
Laura smiled at Kagome and then walked over to Sesshoumaru. She sat down by him and smiled. He lifted his eyelid and grinned at her.
Kagome looked up into the trees to find Inuyasha. She found him and walked over to the tree he was in. "Inuyasha, can I talk to you?" She asked, looking up at him.
Inuyasha looked down at her and nodded. He then jumped down and looked over at her. "What is it?"
Kagome grabbed his arm and dragged him to a secluded area in the forest. "Inuyasha, I've been wondering..." She said slowly. "I was wondering if you loved me."
Inuyasha looked shocked at the question. He opened his mouth but no words came out. He then tried again. "Kagome, I do love you. I just never said anything because you always thought I loved Kikyo. She's my past."
Kagome looked up at him, smiling. She then flung her arms around his neck, hugging him. "Inuyasha, I love you too." She whispered. She felt his arms pull her closer to him.
Inuyasha smiled. He looked behind Kagome to see Kikyo, staring at him in disbelief. He smirked at her and then returned his eyes to Kagome. Whenever he looked back up, Kikyo was gone. 'Good-bye Kikyo...forever.' He then pulled Kagome out of his embrace, placing a gentle kiss on her lips.
Ame was finally tired and stopped chasing Rin and Shippou. She smiled at them and they tackled her, knocking her to the ground.
"We caught you Ame-chan!" Rin yelled and then smiled at Ame.
Ame smiled at Rin. "Ya got me you two. Now let me rest a little bit, I'm tired." She grinned at them and brushed them off her stomach. She then sat up and leaned against a tree. She closed her eyes and began to doze off.
Laura looked at Ame and smiled at her. She then looked over at Miroku to see that Sango had forgiven him and they were now talking. She watched Rin and Shippou play, making sure they didn't run off to far. It was then that she noticed that Kagome and Inuyasha had come back yet. She smirked to herself.
Soon enough, Inuyasha came back with Kagome walking behind him.
"Let's get going. It's getting late and we need to get to the nearest village." He looked up at the clouds to see that they were dark and dreary. "I don't like to be caught in the rain." He let Kagome climb on along with Shippou. They all got situated and then took off for the nearest village.
End.
