Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha…I just worship it. I also do not own the song, it is owned by Josh Groban "Si Volvieras a Mi." The lyrics don't really go with the chapter, but I chose it because it has a loving mode to it.

Chapter 8: Confessions

InuYasha sat down across from Kagome, he averted his eyes from her gaze. Kagome eyed him wearily, wondering what it was. She could feel dread welling up in her stomach afraid that he would be mad with her for killing Kikyo. InuYasha opened his mouth to speak, but closed it abruptly, trying to find the right way to word what he was trying to say.

Como sobrevivir

Como calmar mi sed

Como seguir sin ti

Como saltar sin red

"How are you feeling?" Kagome asked InuYasha blatantly. InuYasha looked at her oddly, as if he was questioning her sanity.

"I should be asking you that. How are you feeling?" InuYasha watched Kagome as she leaned her head back and breathed in the musty air from the room.

Con ese adios tan salvaje y cruel

Me desojaste la piel

La eternidad en final se quedo

Y un desierto es mi corazon

"Like Naraku rammed his hand through my chest." Kagome grinned wryly. InuYasha looked at the floor, doing everything in his will to keep his eyes away from hers for the moment.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him, and I couldn't save you." Kagome looked at InuYasha and reached out a hand to brush his bangs from his eyes. Whenever he was feeling down Kagome realized that he would try and hide his eyes from sight. They were his gateway into his soul, they always showed how he really felt, at least Kagome thought so.

"I broke my promise, to protect you. Twice if you want to get technical." InuYasha looked at Kagome, his eyes full of sorrow and an emotion Kagome couldn't decipher.

"Don't say that. Besides, you couldn't get free and technically it's my fault." InuYasha stared at her like she was crazy. Kagome smiled brightly, making InuYasha blush slightly.

Ay si volvieras a mi

Encenderia el sol mil primaveras

Si regresaras por mi

"You know, I've never heard you apologize before, well once actually, but that was for breaking my alarm clock." Kagome laughed lightly. InuYasha blushed again, his mouth turning up into a half smile at the fond memory.

"How can you be so forgiving?" Kagome was startled at InuYasha's question.

"What do you mean?" InuYasha pondered what to say next.

Seria un milagro cada beso que me dieras

Pero hoy te vas

Y no hay vuelta atraz

"I mean, how can you be so forgiving and act as if nothings happened? After all, you should hate me right now." InuYasha's ears drooped to the sides of his head. Kagome reached out her hand and stroked InuYasha's cheek. It was a bold move on her part but she wanted to try and console him the best she could.

"I'm so forgiving because everyone isn't perfect. We all make mistakes, that's what being human is, making mistakes and learning from them, learning to love, and living your life to the fullest that you can. Demons, and half-demons too. I care about you and everyone else, you all mean so much to me, and I treasure our friendship, so a couple of mistakes isn't going to change that, even if they are mistakes that will leave scars." InuYasha pulled Kagome into his lap and hugged her. He buried his face in the crook of her neck and inhaled her scent deeply. Kagome was startled, she hadn't expected him to do this.

Que habra despues de ti?

Mas que estas lagrimas

Si hasta la lluvia en el jardin

Toca musica sin fin

"I'm sorry Kagome. I didn't believe you about Kikyo, I couldn't save you from Naraku, and you were injured and almost killed because of it, and I pushed you away so many times during our journey together, please forgive me." InuYasha buried his face deeper into her neck, letting the tears flow from his eyes. Kagome's face softened. She rubbed InuYasha's back comfortingly and laid her head on top of his.

"InuYasha, I've already forgiven you." Kagome smiled and pulled InuYasha to look up at her. InuYasha gazed into her eyes, his emotions were displayed for all to see. A sight that Kagome was privileged to look upon.

Sombria y tragica

Hoy de rodillas le pido a Dios

Que por el bien de los dos

Algo en tu pecho se quiebre al oir a

Este loco que se muere de amor

"I realized something today. When Naraku hurt you, I was scared, he had killed you, and I couldn't save you. I was scared that I'd never get to hold you the way that I wanted to for so long. Never get to see you smile at me again. I'm so glad you held on, If I had lost you for good, I don't know what I would have done. I also realized that I wasn't in love with Kikyo, she was just an companion. I felt that I needed to avenge her and my deception and lay her spirit to rest at first, but then I agreed to go to hell with her because I felt I owed her my life. But I didn't want to go with her. I never knew why until today, something was holding me back, and I realized, it was my love for you, Kagome." Kagome's eyes widened and started to brim with tears.

Ay si volvieras a mi

Encenderia el sol mil primaveras

Si regresaras por mi

"I love you Kagome." InuYasha placed his hand on Kagome's cheek and leaned in to capture her lips. InuYasha kissed Kagome gently. A tear rolled down Kagome's cheek as she responded to him with all of the passion she could muster from her weak body.

"I love you too, InuYasha" Kagome whispered against his lips. InuYasha pulled away and pulled Kagome into a hug. Never wanting to let her go.

Seria un milagro cada vez que me vieras

Pero hoy te vas

Y no hay vuelta atraz

"Stay with me, always." InuYasha whispered. Kagome snuggled into InuYasha's chest.

"Not always." InuYasha looked at Kagome, hurt by her words. She smiled and hugged him tighter.

"Forever." InuYasha smiled. This is where he wanted to be. This is where he felt at peace. InuYasha finally understood, he had always had a place to call his own, a home to go back to, and it was with Kagome.

Y desataste un huracan,

Fuego y furia de un volcan

Que no se apagar

"I NEED A TISSUE!" Sango cried as she watched the pair embrace. Miroku handed her his handkerchief from his inner robe as he sniffled loudly.

"IT'S SO TOUCHING!" Miroku cried and blew his nose into another handkerchief. A vein popped out of InuYasha's head. It seemed as though things were reverting back to normal.

Como olvido que fui

Esclavo de ti

Ya no puedo mas

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING STANDING THERE! THIS IS A PRIVATE MOMENT. GET OUT!" InuYasha kicked Sango and Miroku out of the hut roughly. Kagome smiled and blushed a deep red. InuYasha turned around and pulled Kagome back into his lap, stroking her hair lovingly.

"I love you." Kagome whispered into his chest. InuYasha buried his head into the crook of her neck and smiled.

Ay si volvieras mi vida ay si volvieras

"Your scent really is beautiful. It smells of Spring, fresh running water, and...ramen." Kagome laughed into his fire rat kimono. InuYasha smiled, happy that he was able to make her laugh. Kagome pulled away and kissed InuYasha. InuYasha kissed her with possessiveness. Her lips fit his perfectly; it was like heaven to InuYasha, like they were made for one another. He lifted his hand to her face and grasped her chin, kissing more feverishly and passionately. Kagome pulled away slowly, looking into his eyes deeply.

Si regresaras por mi seria feliz otra vez

"You know, that was my first kiss. I'm glad it was you." Kagome smiled brightly. InuYasha brushed Kagome's face with his hand. He nuzzled her nose with his, showing as much tender affection as he could.

Pero hoy te vas

"Ye two love birds done kissing so I can tend to Kagome's wounds?" Kaede walked into the room smiling. InuYasha blushed and slid Kagome out of his lap and back onto the futon. Kaede sat down in front of InuYasha and Kagome smiling at the scene that she walked in on.

Y no hay vuelta atraz

"I have something to tell ye." Kaede began. InuYasha and Kagome stared at Kaede intently waiting for the information that she was to bestow upon them.

"Kagome is becoming a hanyou."
