Winter's Night: Chapter 6
~ Inuyasha's POV ~
I heard the door slam and stood there frozen. Why did she leave? What did I do? Then I remembered what she yelled. 'Enjoy your thoughts about HER!' I blinked and realization flooded through my mind. She thought..... Oh shit this isn't good. I ran out of the house and jumped down to the hard area below. I looked around but Kagome was nowhere in sight. I heard whispers around me and noticed people staring. I growled and ran away from them as fast as I could. If Kagome found out about that, she'd kill me, if she doesn't kill me already.
When no one was around, I sniffed the air trying to find her sweet scent. I found it, but it was faint. I took off following her scent when I came to a forest area in the middle of the city. It looked empty and barren as the snow danced around in the sky. My eyes caught some footprints that were fresh, though being covered up by the snow.
Kagome's scent was also fresher here, so I followed the footprints onto a small path leading through the thicker part of the small forest. I picked up the scent of tears and stopped in my tracks. She's crying? Oh shit why did she have to think that I was thinking about Kikyo? I wasn't thinking about her..... well maybe just a little bit. Oh Kami what have I gotten myself into?
I shook my head to clear away my thoughts. I continued to walk, as the snow seemed to fall slower from the sky. The snowflakes grew bigger and they stuck together as they drifted to blanket everything around me. I kept following Kagome's scent, not allowing myself to be mesmerized by the landscape and gentle falling snow.
Kagome's scent was getting closer as I walked. I rounded a tree and stopped. There was Kagome, sitting on a log beneath a large snow covered tree, quietly dozing. I crept closer to her and took in her appearance. Around her eyes was puffy and her cheeks were stained with frozen tears. I frowned and silently crouched down in front of her. I touched her cheek softly and brushed away the few tears that remained. She still looked beautiful sitting there, even if she has been crying. Her cheeks were rosy from the cold, her lips tinted blue from the cold, slightly parted as she breathed. I was so close to her by now that I could feel her warm breath on my face. I ran one of my fingers gently over her soft lips, then leaned forward and captured her lips with my own, in a soft kiss. I pulled away once I realized what I was doing. She was sleeping, mad at me, and here I am stealing a kiss from her. I sighed and ran a clawed hand through my bangs. Suddenly I heard Kagome's breathing change and sensed her moving. My eyes widened when hers opened and gazed at me with surprise.
"Inu..... Inuyasha?"
I blinked and sat there like an idiot staring at her. I saw her blush slightly and shook my head, coming to my senses. I stood up and sat down on the log beside her. I could feel her gaze on me, but I didn't want to look up.
"Kagome..... I'm sorry....." I whispered as I fidgeted with my claws. "I- I wasn't thinking about Kikyou..... well in a way I was, but only because....." I trailed off, searching for something to say.
"Because.....?" I heard her ask questioningly. I looked up at her, my eyes locking with hers. She seemed hurt, sad, and angry. I had caused this, and I had to take it away.
"Because..... I have made a decision." I whispered. I sensed Kagome tense and quickly thought of something to say. "I've made the decision not to go to Hell with her."
"W-What?" I looked at Kagome's surprised and confused expression.
"I'm not going to Hell with Kikyou." I repeated.
"Why?" she asked, obviously confused by what I had said. I smiled softly and cup her cheek with my hand.
"I can't leave you Kagome." I watched her eyes widen slightly. "I can't leave you because," I leaned closer to her, "I love you too much to ever leave you."
I saw her eyes widen even more if possible and her lips move to say something, but before she could speak I brought my lips to hers and kissed her again, as I had in the snow before. I felt her respond and I deepened the kiss while I wrapped my arms around her waist. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she pulled me down, making the kiss more passionate.
We sat there, kissing, for what seemed like an eternity until we parted for breath. Panting slightly for air, I looked at her and smiled. She was smiling back at me, also trying to catch her breath. I felt her lean against me, her head resting against my chest.
"I love you too, Inuyasha." I sat there stunned by what she had whispered. I smiled and kissed the top of her head, holding her closer.
"Inuyasha?" I heard her whisper.
"Yes Kagome?"
She looked up at me, a soft smile gracing her lips. I couldn't help but smile back as I stared into her eyes.
"Could..... Could we stay here, like this, just a little longer?"
Her eyes were so bright and they pleaded with me to agree. I nodded my head and watched her smile widen. She placed her head back against my chest and I pulled her into my lap. I heard her sigh contently and I leaned back against the tree trunk behind the log.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I looked up at the sky and noticed that the snow had stopped falling, the sky now clear of the gray clouds that usually floated up there. Kagome and I had been sitting on the log for about an hour, and the sky was being to darken, colors of the sunset slowly mixing into the darkness that already covered most of the sky. I looked down at Kagome, curled up in my lap and smiled. I shook her gently, rousing her from the light sleep she had drifted into. She blinked open her eyes and smiled up at me before leaning up and kissing my cheek.
"How long have we been here?" she asked as she stretched.
"About an hour, the sun's setting though, so we should head back."
I saw her frown slightly before replacing it with a smile. She climbed out of my lap and grabbed my hand pulling me up. I blinked in confusion at her antics and tilted my head to the side. She giggled and pulled me towards the trail. Once we reached it, she pulled me in the opposite way we came.
"Where are we going, this isn't the way back to the shrine." I asked.
"You'll see." She smiled.
We continued walking and the trail eventually opened up to a large clearing. I looked around and saw a big pond, frozen over by the cold. Some people were gliding across it and I heard some kind of music coming from the wooden hut by the pond. I blinked and looked down at Kagome. She simply smiled up at me. She let go of my hand and then ran towards the pond.
"Come on Inuyasha!" she called back to me as she continued to run. I blinked at her sudden change in mood, but shrugged it off.
"Women....." I sighed and I jogged after her.

Ok, there you have it folks, chapter 6. It took me a while to write this chapter, though it's a little short. I believe I'm coming down with a case of writer's block. O.O; Uh oh..... Sorry this update is so late, I just couldn't think of anything. I hope this chapter was ok. Let me know!
Please review, it's also to get them and every one of them is greatly appreciated!
