Chapter 8: Could this be Love...?

Princess Sango

I felt warmth surrounding me and I opened my eyes and saw Inuyasha's face greeting me. I took my delicate finger and traced his face gently and he stirred for a second before settling back down and I snuggled closer into his chest.

Inuyasha held me closer and I kissed his cheek softly as he opened his eyes. "Kagome..." He kissed my cheek and pulled away, "You feeling better? Remember anything yet?"

I shook my head, "I don't remember much Inuyasha-kun. I don't really know if I should remember. If you won't let me back into my own house, it must have been terrible for me. Inuyasha, I don't want to leave."

I continued to trace his face as he took hold of my hand, "I'm not going to force you to remember Kagome. We'll see what happens, ne?"

I nodded to him, "Yes Inuyasha-kun I understand. Also here's a question for you, why didn't I stay with you in the first place? Why did I come back home to people that didn't love me?"

Inuyasha shook his head at me, "Kagome-chan, I think you were so used to it by that time and didn't care. I'm not too sure of your intentions at all. I'm just glad you understand now Kagome." He smiled and kissed my cheek, "Just please don't leave."

I nodded while Inuyasha picked me up, "Now let's have breakfast, shall we?"

I smiled up at him as he picked me up bridal style and continued down stairs. His house was huge, and I wonder if anyone lives here with out them knowing? Inuyasha smiled to me and made his way down to the kitchen. He opened a door and there stood Inuyasha's mother making breakfast.

She turned around while Inuyasha sat me down on the chair. "You two are the first one's up, what would you like today?"

Inuyasha smiled at his mom, "I don't care, what about you Kagome-chan? Remember any of your favorite foods?"

My eyes lit up as something flashed through my mind, "Yes, not that you mention it, French toast, eggs, and hot chocolate sounds good. If that's okay..."

"It's alright dear, I'll start fixing it up, what will you have Inuyasha?" She turned to her son who was too busy staring at Kagome. "Dear?"

Inuyasha looked at her for a second, "What she's having is fine mom." Inuyasha's mom nodded and started to grab the ingredients out of the fridge and various cabinets.

I adverted my eyes to find Sango walking inside, "Hi Kaasan, what's for breakfast?"

"French toast and eggs, is that okay?" Sango nodded to her and adverted her eyes towards me.

"So Kagome, you want to help me go shopping? I know it's only been a few days so if you don't want to I'll understand. I could go by myself." Sango started to say something else when she stopped and looked away, "Never mind."

I looked at her confused, "Sango-chan what do you mean?"

"That's right you forgot that part! Well I'll talk to you later about it, let's just eat for now." Sango smiled before standing up to go help Inuyasha's mother.

Inuyasha smiled, "Mom, Kagome and I shall be having breakfast in the garden okay?" Inuyasha's mom waved her hand in approval and Inuyasha picked me up and carried me to the garden.

He placed me on my feet and I steadied myself as I heard music begun to play in the background. I smiled as Inuyasha took my hand and started to slow dance with me.

The song ended and Inuyasha smiled to me. He looked at the table that was set with food and took my hand and led me to the table. "Let's eat." I nodded and picked up the chopsticks.
