June 25

Mom's glad that Inuyasha and I decided to visit her so soon. But to tell the truth its really boring in the feudal era now that Naraku is dead. Mom keeps asking me why I keep going there but to tell the truth...I wouldn't keep going back and forth between the two worlds, but the way Inuyasha pleaded with me that one night...I'll never forget it.

It was about two weeks after the battle when I felt well enough to go home. By the time I had said all my goodbyes to everyone, it was really late. I was so tired. I needed my mom, I just wanted to be in my own bed for a while.

I didn't want to leave Inuyasha though. I couldn't find him all day, so I was really depressed when I made my way to the well. I knew in my heart I would probably never return. There was no reason for me to.

As I got the well I heard my name. I turned around to see Inuyasha there. It was the full moon and he was in him human form.

"You were going to leave without saying goodbye." He said numbly.

"No! I couldn't find you. I looked everywhere."

"Kagome. You are coming back." I noticed instantly that it was a statement, not a question. I looked at him confused.

"Why should I come back? There are no jewel shards to find and Naraku is dead. There is no reason for me to be here." Inuyasha closed the space in between us and whispered fiercely,

"Kagome! I need you here. You can't leave me. Got that?" My heart was pounding so heard I thought he could here it. He probably could have if he had his demon ears. I looked straight into his eyes and told him my answer.

"I'll come back. I want to stay longer though, so don't worry if I'm not back in a week. I need some time at my own home-" I got cut off when he suddenly hugged me. His face was so close to mine I honestly thought he was going to kiss me. The look in his eyes, is what convinced me to keep returning to his world. I can't easily tell my mom that can I? I think she suspects it though. What mother wouldn't?

"Kagome! I'm going to bed okay sweetie?" Her mom said to her. Everyone was gathered around the tv watching a movie when Kagome got bored and decided to write in her journal some more. She didn't notice when Sota or Grandpa had left already.

"Oh! I didn't realize how late it was! Night mom!" Kagome hugged her mother goodnight, stood up and stretched. She glanced at Inuyasha and saw that he was total into the movie. She put her journal on the table and went over to sit next to him.

"Inuyasha scoot over." She told him. Inuyasha grunted and moved over a few inches. Kagome rolled her eyes and sat in the small space he provided her. She realized that her whole leg was touching him. She could feel the heat radiating off him. She was also close enough to inhale his scent. She couldn't explain what it was the made him smell so distinct, she had tried to many times in her journal, but every time she failed. Did Inuyasha realize how close she was to him? She hoped so. Kagome realized she was obsessing a little too much and tried to concentrate on the movie.

In the movie the main guy was holding the main girl so tenderly, gently stroking her face. Kagome sighed regretfully. How she would love it if someone would hold her with so much love and tenderness. Only in her dreams.


Inuyasha realized as soon as Kagome sat next to him that he should have moved over more, but after the first few moments he realized he liked having her sit so close to him.

He looked over at her and she had a far away look in her eyes as she watched the movie. He glanced at the movie and saw the main guy hold the girl close, stoking her face. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome again. She was almost star struck by the moves the guy was putting on the girl.

"I haven't had enough courage to tell you, but I love you! I've loved you ever since I saw you in the dingy bar singing from the bottom of your soul. Tell me that you'll be by my side always! I can't live without you! I need you!" The man on tv said. The girl made a reply but Inuyasha was listening. Hadn't he said something similar the night he was afraid Kagome was going to leave forever? He had to be human that night, but maybe that worked for his advantage. He had almost spilled his whole heart to her that night. The only thing he didn't tell her was that he-

"That movie was so good!" Kagome squealed, interrupting his thoughts. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. She had a huge smile on her face as she stared at the credits. "If only love really did exist like that." She said wistfully.

"How do you know it doesn't?" Inuyasha said. Kagome stopped and stared at him.

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Obviously love like that does exist, or else how would the tv people know how to make love like that? You can't create something out of nothing." Kagome's eyes softened and Inuyasha wondered why.

"That's pretty deep coming from you. Guess I never thought of it that way. Well I'm going to bed. Mom laid out a sleeping bag for you in my room." Kagome said as she was walking to her room.

Inuyasha sat for a while on the couch thinking about what Kagome had said. That's pretty deep coming from you. Inuyasha shook his head. Kagome if only you knew how much I think about love, and you for that matter. Inuyasha was glad that he was able to convince her mom to let him sleep in her room tonight. It had been hard, but he did it. Inuyasha stood and stretched and started to head up the stairs to Kagome's room when he saw that book she was always writing in. Glancing up the stairs, he walked over to the table and picked it up.

The book itself wasn't very impressive. It was dark blue, and the cover felt rough. He opened up the book to the first page and saw writing on the inside cover.

Kagome Higurashi

Age:17

Address: depends on what time period I'm in. (Really hope no one sees that!)

Inuyasha then glanced at the first page. He saw his name but slammed the book shut and put it back where it was when he heard Kagome running down the stairs. He quickly walked closer to the stairs as though he had been no where near her book.

"Forget something?" He asked as she raced past him and snatched up her book. She looked worried and a bit flustered.

"Just forgot this." She said. Inuyasha grinned evilly and decided to annoy her.

"What's that smile for? You didn't read it did you!" Kagome looked terrified at the thought. Inuyasha grin grew even larger.

"Maybe. What do you write in there Kagome. I watch you write in there every few days. When you write you show every emotion possible. Take tonight for example. Happiness and longing. So what were you writing about?" While Inuyasha was talking Kagome started shaking and her face got really red.

"For your information," she spat out. "I write stories in here. Just make believe stories that are in my head and that I don't want anyone else to read! So did you read anything?" Whoa she was really getting upset. Kagome had tears forming in her eyes.

"Kagome I didn't even touch your book. You looked so worried about it, I just decided to tease you. You know better than to take me seriously." Inuyasha said, making his eyes go soft. He walked over to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry Kagome." Kagome melted into his embrace. Inuyasha inhaled her sweet scent and thought This is what I have to do to hold her? Maybe I should fight and apologize to her more often. Inuyasha knew that Kagome would break the embrace soon, so he just stood there savoring every moment.

Kagome did pull away put he kept his arms around her waist. "Kagome" His whispered. Kagome looked at him with huge eyes. Inuyasha lent forwards until his mouth was next to her ear.

"This Kagome is how those tv people duplicated love. They saw something that left them speechless and decided to put in their latest movie." Inuyasha pulled away and said "I'm going to bed you coming?"


Kagome watched speechless as Inuyasha headed up the stairs without even glancing back at her. What was that all about? What did he mean by 'going to bed you coming?'. He didn't mean...did he? Kagome ran up the stairs and found Inuyasha getting into his sleeping bag. Kagome let out a huge sigh.

She climbed in her bed and laid there for a while. She knew Inuyasha wasn't asleep, he hardly ever slept. She thought back to what had happened downstairs. She wished so desperately that he would have kissed her, but no he was of course playing with her emotions. Maybe I should let him read my journal. She thought but brushed that thought away as fast as she could. He doesn't like you like that. But why did he tell me two years ago that he needed me? Life is so confusing. She thought sleepily before falling into sleep.


Inuyasha heard Kagome toss and turn before falling to sleep. What was she thinking about? Inuyasha was mentally kicking himself for messing with her head instead of kissing her. He wanted so much to experience what Kagome tasted like, but if he did that, he would have to have her, no questions asked. Was he ready for that?

Inuyasha sat up so he was able to see Kagome. She was on her side facing him. She looked so peaceful and content. Maybe it was time to read that book of hers. He knew that book held ever secret of Kagome.


Well what did everyone think? I actually have like nine reviews! I had no idea when I started writing this that people would actually review so thank you to everyone who is reading this and reviewing! Oh might as well add my disclaimer. I don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters and the movie mentioned in the story isn't based off of anything, doesn't exist at all. Well if anyone has any suggestions just let me know and to everyone who keeps asking for fluff...just be patient! I'll get to it I promise!
