Chapter Four: The Unspeakable Truth

Inuyasha continued into the forest with Kagome. After a while she started to squirm and moan in pain. Inuyasha soon came up to a river and sat Kagome down next to it. Kagome then looked up at him in confusion.

"Why did you bring me here?" she asked with her face tilted in a curious way which Inuyasha thought was very cute.

"I don't know to tell you the truth." He said then sighing afterward, "I guess I just want to get away from everyone. BESIDES I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR EVERYTHING I DO!!!" he yelled trying to mask up how concerned and frightened he was for her. Kagome tried to come up with a come back but when she tried to face him up it only made her back hurt worse. Inuyasha caught her motion to get up and tried to keep her down and comfort her at the same time.

"Kagome stop moving it'll only hurt more." Instead of it coming out as an insult like he wanted it, it came out as a soft hushed and comforting whisper. Kagome obeyed and tried to relax, but the pain was just unbearable. Inuyasha saw that she was uncomfortable so he picked her up bridal style and leapt into a tree. He sat up against the trunk and placed Kagome between his dangling legs, and had her lean up against his stomach. 'Hopefully this would make her stop moving' Inuyasha thought. Inuyasha slowly wrapped his arms securely around her waste. Kagome, oblivious to what he was doing, snuggled into what she thought was warm, which also was Inuyasha. A tint blush crept to Inuyasha's cheeks as she continued to bury her face into Inuyasha's fire rat haori. Kagome then sighed with satisfaction and went to sleep in Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha, not noticing, smiled and decided to join her blissful slumber. While he slept he instinctively tightened his grip around her to make sure she wouldn't fall out the tree.

Kagome was the first to wake between the two. She noticed that even though it was in the fall she felt pretty warm. She didn't want the warm feeling to go away so she tried to snuggle into it as best she could. She tried to get closer but she was as close as she could possibly get. She looked up in frustration to see what was giving off this warm feeling. She was in shock when she saw Inuyasha's sleeping face above her. She continued to stare in shock but then her face started to soften until she had a slight smile plastered on her face. Kagome stared with aw at the sleeping hanyou's face. When he slept he seemed to have a light glow around him giving him that look of innocence. Suddenly she saw a slight movement on his head and noticed that his canine ears were twitching a little. She reached up and started to rub the back of his ears. By doing so she was rewarded with what sounded like purring. She giggled at how the half dog demon acted like a cat. She continued to rub behind his ears for a while longer. Inuyasha seemed to be enjoying it a lot more than she thought because he started to lean his head into her hand as she continued. Kagome thought that it was quite enough so she started to pull her hand away. She gasped when Inuyasha growled and snatched her hand back to his head. She sighed and continued to do what she had started. 'I need to learn to keep control of wanting to touch his ears' Kagome thought. Her arm was getting tired and it was affecting her back making it ache with pain. So once again she pulled her arm away, thanking the lords that he didn't grab her arm again.

Inuyasha felt the nice feeling go away so he decided that he should open his eyes. He was shocked to see Kagome blushing like crazy under his stare. He noticed that she had been previously staring at her hands, and he smirked at this. 'She must have been rubbing my ears' he thought to himself.

"Why did you stop Kagome?" Inuyasha asked with a barley noticeable smile. Kagome only stared at him with embarrassment at his sudden question. 'He must have been awake the entire time' Kagome thought.

"I asked you a question." Inuyasha said this time with a more husky voice and very noticeable smile. He was obviously enjoying her nervousness.

"Well I……. uh….you see….it's not" she stopped there. She didn't have a clue of what to say. She looked back at Inuyasha and noticed he was smiling. She gave a 'humph' and looked away. Inuyasha only smirked even more. He took her chin in his hand and turned her head back toward him. He stared into the depths of her beautiful hazel eyes. 'WAIT did I just think beautiful…………well they are attracting' Inuyasha thought as he admired her eyes some more. All this staring was making Kagome more nervous and the fact that he was staring at her made her blush. Inuyasha caught the blush and smirked even more, if that was possible. He decided that it'd be better to stop messing with her.

"So how's your back?" Inuyasha asked out of the blue. Kagome snapped out of her daze and realized that her back didn't hurt anymore.

"It's great! I thought that my back was out for good!" she said with a nervous smile.

"Thanks." Inuyasha looked at Kagome with confusion clearly written all over his face. She saw the look and knew what he was about to ask.

"For being there for me silly." Kagome said in a voice a little above a whisper. Inuyasha only blushed at her words. Then he smiled and pulled her close to his body and inhaled her intoxicating scent.

"Of course Kagome. You know I'll always be there for you. And I'll make sure that nothing will ever happen to you." Inuyasha said in a hushed tone. He nuzzled his nose in her hair and unconsciously fell asleep.

Kagome could only smile at his words. She couldn't help but feel happy that he had said what he said. She sighed and started to drift into a slumber with no worries, knowing that Inuyasha meant every last word.
