Preface

Kagome looked through the field and watched the wheat sway

back and forth with the breeze like a pendulum. Life was so hard now.

Between school and Inuyasha and the others, she didn't know if she

could take it anymore. She would have to decide if being with Inuyasha

was worth it or just to go home, or if there was a greater purpose than to

find Naraku. She thought back on the times. Could this be what she had

wanted? She could sense someone approaching, and turned her head.

Inuyasha sat down next to her and smiled.

"What are you doing all by yourself?" He asked.

"Just thinking," said Kagome quietly. No matter how much she loved

him, she could never tell him so. The fear of rejection was just to strong.

Many times she had thought to herself what life would be like if she told

him. Would they be together, or would they no longer be friends? In

her mind, she knew that for them to find Naraku, they would have to

keep their mind focused on him, not on love.

Inuyasha could sense that Kagome was feeling sad, but he didn't

know what to do. His compassion for her was stronger than he could

ever become, and he didn't know how to cheer her up. He glanced at her

and sighed in self-pity. He was so close to being with her. He wanted to

hold her and tell her everything was alright, that he would be with her

forever, but some things just cannot come so easy. He knew what he

wanted, but failed on reacting with how to get it. But he knew one thing

he could do.

"Kagome, I want to show you something"
