--------ok, this first part is a flashback of one of the earlier epidodes, I can't remember which but we all know about it. Its the one where Inuyasha is in human form and poisoned and tells Kagome he likes her scent.-------------
He was barely aware, the poison had really taken its toll. All he was aware of was her legs under his head, how much he loved being this close to her. At that moment he knew for sure that he loved her. He knew htat he loved her and for the first time didn't give himself an excuse, he just accepted it as a good thing. He wanted nothing more at the moment than to tell her he loved her and never wanted to leave her again, but something held him back. He was stiff and cold from the poison and only barely managed to open his eyes. As he gazed in wonderment with blurred human eyes at her face, a face that held such love and concern, he knew he had to tell her something. He just couldn't bring himself to tell her he loved her. Even with his weak and almost useless human nose he could smell her soft floral scent. "I like your scent" he had said, it was all he could bring himself to say. No, he was just too scared of the rejection to tell her what he so desperately wanted to tell her. "I thought you said you hated my smell?" she had replied, a look of slight happiness appearing over the concern on her face. "I lied" he answered simply. No, he just couldn't tell her. It was ok, for now it was enough for him to just lie there in her arms and enjoy her smell. 'Someday I'll tell her" he had thought, he had decided that he would tell her when he was sure that the stinging words of rejection wouldn't come. 'Someday...'
Inuyasha then regained consciousness after reliving that moment of his life. The first thing he was aware of was the overwhelming stench of human blood on him. It was all over him, it overpowered almost all other smells. He could even taste it in his mouth, the metallic taste of the blood of the man he had killed. He had torn his throat out like a savage animal.
Suddenly he smelled something new, it was very faint and masked but it was there. "Kagome..." he whispered, and opened his eyes a crack. He was in a brightly lit room, no he was in one of those ambulance things, except it was completely empty except for him and his bindings. When his eyes cleared he saw that he was lying on a steel tretcher on the floor of the ambulance, metal poles clamped to his arms over his wrists, elbows, and upper biceps completely restrained his arms. He couldn't have moved them even if he wasn't heavily sedated.
The same manner of restraints held his legs completely straight. When he tried to move his head he noted that he had a muzzle on, it went around his head and attached to the steel stretcher, he couldn't bite or move his head.
He inhaled heavily and sorted through the various smells. There was that of his own blood, a large quantity of the man whom's throat he had bitten out, and a faint whisp of Kagome's. He was sure of it, he would recognize it anywhere. Kagome was or had been within 100 feet of where he was now.
After confirming this he checked his own body for injuries. The stab wound from the knife which had been thrust between his ribs was cleaned and healing well, what worried him was the wound from the firearm on his leg. Little bits of metal were scattered throughout his thigh, which would make healing slow and painful.
Inuyasha again closed his eyes and tried to lose himself in the memory of Kagome. He had known then as he knew now that he loved her.
'Why have I never admitted it to myself?' he thought to himself. 'Does it really take something like this to get me to admit that I love her?'
He mentally punished himself for procrstinating for so long. He had always come up with excuses, first he had told himself that he was delusional when he had first thought it, that he was human form and poisoned so he wasn't thinking straight. Afterwards he had felt pangs of the same pure love for her again, and that confirmed it for him. No matter how ,uch he denied it deep down he had known it, known that he loved her.
After that he had simply put it off. He had told himself that either she would reject him or that it just wasn't the right time, that he would know when it was and it wasn't right now.
'Stupid' he thought of himself. 'Now i'm probably never going to see her again and Its the right time. Like I would know something like that'
These kinds of thoughts and recollections continued in his mind until he came to a conclusion.
'If, no, whenever I see Kagome again I will tell her. Before I say anything else. If I do that then I will be ok with myself'
Inuyasha was jolted from his thoughts when the continued movement that had been going on suddenly stopped, and the metal stretcher he was on slid a few inches forward. He was somewhere new, somewhere even farther away from Kagome. the one he had finally realized that he loved.
He didn't care where it happened, all Inuyasha wanted right now was to tell her how much he really loved her. He would wait as long as it took. Until then he would live, he would live on for her.
