CHAPTER 11 - Sideways Love
"Ugh!" Miroku said, taking off his raincoat. "It's disgusting out there. And the well is still gone."
"You know, I think that you could have just looked at the jewel shard Kagome gave us to come here in the first place to see if it glowed." Sango retorted, still staring at the T.V. She had mastered the remote control, and was obsessed with the history channel.
"Has Inuyasha come back yet?"
"No, but I pray to Kami that he will. He has no clue of how much Kagome really loves him, and how much he already hurts her."
"Oh? Like how?"
"Seriously, monk, do I have to explain everything for you?" Sango picked up the remote control and changed the channel while Miroku came to sit next to her. "Just a few days ago, we were up in her room, and she broke out into tears. Kagome told me of how much it hurt her when Inuyasha acted as the normal jerk that he pretends to be. She just sobbed and sobbed, until finally she had fallen asleep. If we don't step in soon, I think Kagome might -"
Rub rub rub.
SLAP!!!
"Ouch..." Miroku sighed, rubbing the red handprint on his face.
- - - - -
The front door burst open, letting in wind and rain and all of the elements into the house. "What the?!" Miss Higurashi said, and hung up the phone on her father, who was visiting another shrine in Taiwan.
"Inuyasha! What happened?!" Sango said, and ran over to the unhappy looking hanyou with the bloody Kagome in his arms. 'Her heart has slowed down so much... don't die on me Kagome...' he thought, slowly walking up the stairs and into her room. "I'll tell you in a sec, Sango." he replied softly, placing Kagome on the bed.
The demon exterminator simply nodded, and left the room, shutting the door behind her. Inuyasha and the miko were all alone.
Rain rattled the nearby window, and the clouds up above were completely pitch black. It was as if nature was tied to his feelings of terror. A terror that Kagome might not wake up. In the past few minutes, her breathing had become rapid, and her face was as white as death. Before he was able to stop himself, Inuyasha was right beside her in her bed, holding his loved one as if she would vanish if he let go. Tears fell from his eyes, moistening her all ready drenched head.
Kagome's eyes snapped open the moment she felt tears hitting her hair.
'What the...' she looked down ' Inuyasha's holding me like, ow, whew, it's hard breath like this...'
"Kagome..." she heard him speak, but it was completely different from what she usually heard in his voice. It was filled with guilt, sorrow, and was that... love?
"I'm so sorry Kagome... I didn't mean any of that crap with that Chikaki girl... I only did it to make you jealous, after being sat so many times... I know that it was stupid, but that's how I act around you. I guess love can make you act really dumb... I'm so sorry..." he cried into her hair, completely unaware of how the fact that her heart was beating faster than the speed of light. Or of how she had the largest smile that had ever been rendered from her. 'HE LOVES ME!? YES ,YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, HELL YEAH, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE EVEN MISSPRONOUNCED HER NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' she did a little victory dance in her head. But she was not going to interrupt him dishing out everything to her, but decided that all was forgiven, and began to do something that would make him feel better. So, she closed her eyes, and grin, and pretended to asleep once more.
Inuyasha set down his most prized possession back into her bed, and pushed the covers back over her. After removing a stray bit of hair from her face, he walked back to the door, grimacing of the questions that would be bombarded at him. But then he heard a small but unmistakable, "Inuyasha..."
He whirled straight around to see Kagome smiling in her dreams, and repeating over and over again, "Inuyasha... Inuyasha..." He had the biggest, idiotically happy grin on his face that he could muster.
- - -
"INUYASHA, YOU DUMB ASS! I TOLD YOU IT WOULDN'T WORK OUT THE WAY YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD!" Sango screamed at the already half-deaf hanyou.
"Yeah, I know..."
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID, INSENSATIVE, AND COMPLETELY IDIOTIC TO DO THAT?! I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF KAGOME NEVER SPOKE TO YOU AGAIN, CONSIDERING HOW MUCH YOU ALREADY HURT HER!"
"Huh?"
"Oh shit." Sango slapped her hands over her mouth, trying to keep herself from telling him Kagome's secrets. 'Dumb Sango, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb Sango!'
Inuyasha was immediately interested, "I already hurt her? How?"
"Um, err, uh..."
Crash.
The three looked around, searching for what made the sound.
" NOOOOOO! MY COFFEE MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "screamed Miss Higurashi. Miroku slapped his forehead, while Shippou came scrambling out of the kitchen, holding his top. He went up the stairs, down the hall, into Sotas room, slammed the door, and locked it.
Out of the kitchen came Kagome's mother, fire blazing around her. "Excuse me, I need to go get a new coffee machine ( twitch , twitch) "Upon seeing the enraged woman, Sango jumped straight into Miroku's arms, eyes wide open. He blushed immensely, as Inuyasha rose an eyebrow.
"Um, Sango?"
"Huh, oh, right..." she slid down from his hold, surprised at how he didn't grope her, or of how muscular he was under his clothes.

Kagome woke up, smiling of her dream.
-- Dream --
Black. All she could see was darkness. Kagome felt like she had been running for years upon years, but kept running, knowing that if she did, a reward would come.
A bright light suddenly shown itself above her, and made a barrier around Kagome with it's light. "What the..." Two more lights from high fell down to near she was, and underneath one of them was Inuyasha, and the other was Kikyo. "Inuyasha..." she said longingly. He turned to look at her, but was interrupted by someone... something's voice. "Now half-breed... you must chose. Which one shall you take to be the one you love for all time? When your two lights combine, you two shall be rid of the barrier."
'Oh shit.' Kagome thought. As much as she wanted to think that Inuyasha loved her, it was impossible for him to forget about Kikyo. However, "I-Inuyasha..." Kagome said, sighing. He was walking toward her.
When their lights almost touched, he stopped. "What is it?" she asked fearing the answer. "Nothing, I was just thinking to myself of how beautiful you are, Kagome," he said, walking fully into the beam she was under. She wrapped her arms around him, burying her face into his chest. "I choose Kagome."
The darkness vanished, and they were on a beach at night, with an ever so slight breeze blowing their way. The light above them disappeared, and the two were free.
They walked over to Kikyo, who was pounding angrily on her light barrier. Inuyasha said, "Kikyo, I did once love you, but that is no longer the case. I know that in truth you are nothin' but a big wad of mud, filled only with hate. I now love Kagome..." he turned toward her smiling. "And that will never change." Kikyo snapped. She looked as angry as could ever be, and was cursing the two of them out as much as she could, unaware of the light above her vanishing along with her.
Kikyo evaporated into a whisp of nothing, and Inuyasha hadn't taken his gaze away from Kagome. "Inuyasha, did you really mean all of that stuff that you said?" Kagome asked, her heart racing.
He answered by grabbing onto the back of her neck, and pulling Kagome into him so fast that she didn't even blink. He placed his lips on hers, and closed his eyes.
Kagome's, however, shot straight open. Her heart froze for an instant, before melting, and then evaporating into the wonderful feeling of kissing the guy she loved. ' Kami, thank you so much...'
He pulled away just fast enough to say, "Kagome, I love you. Why would I say any of that without meaning it? I ain't that stupid." before going back into her face and kissing her. After what seemed as if no time at all, they broke lose of each other, and Kagome rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. "I love you too, Inuyasha..."
- - - End dream - -
' If only it were real... ' She hopped out of bed, and tripped over the hanyou who had been sleeping there. Splat.
"What?!" Inuyasha woke up in an instant, grabbing for a sword which was not at his side (A/N - he is dressed in more than just his boxers this time. Wow, I have been really quiet)
She smiled happily at him. "Good morning, Inuyasha." he was taken aback, when she latched straight onto him, smiling giddily. 'Huh? Why isn't she yelling and ignoring me?' he thought, bewildered as ever. "Good mornin' to you too...." he said, returning the hug.
"So, since it seems like no one else is up, "she nodded to Sango, and to the door, signifying that her insane mother hadn't broken down the door. "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Uhhhh..."
"Whatever, I can go make us some." she said happily, before getting up and walking downstairs to the kitchen. "What did I miss?" Inuyasha pondered aloud, eyes still wide open from Kagome's ignorance of his stupidity from the day before.
- - In the kitchen - -
"Dear Kagome, since I know that you will be the first one up, I am putting you in charge of the house. I had to go to Taiwan to help Grandpa with a sick friend of his. Sota is also going with me, since he has to do that project on China in a few weeks, it seemed that it would be good for him to come as well. See you in a week!
Mom" Kagome read aloud, before smirking. "Somehow, she always seems to read my mind of what I want..." and headed over the refrigerator to get some eggs and milk.
