"Inuyasha if you don't catch me, I'll never come back!" Kagome yelled behind her. Inuyasha ran. Kagome couldn't leave and never return. Kagome was running so fast it looked like she was flying.
"Kagome! Not so fast..." He panted. What was wrong with him? He always ran faster than this but fear of losing Kagome made him slow and sluggish. She was at the well. She turned to face him. She was so far away.
"Oh Inuyasha. If you loved me you would have caught me. I'm not coming back. Good-bye..." Kagome said as she fell down the well. Inuyasha's heart skipped a beat . He was at the well. He could still see Kagome's head. He reached for her but it was too late. "KAGOME!" He yelled. "I DO LOVE YOU!"
Inuyasha jerked awake by the sound of his own voice. Sweat poured down him and he shook. He glanced at Kagome and was thankful to see that she was still asleep. It was still dark outside. Why the hell did he keep having that dream? That was three times in the past week. Every time it got more and more detailed. Tonight was the first time he yelled that he loved her. The last time he had the dream she told him that he didn't love her enough to catch her, and the first time he had the dream, she disappeared forever.
Inuyasha sat up and leaned against the wall keeping watch. Kagome was asleep...or was she. Her chest was moving up and down with to much regularity. She's awake?" Oh god what did she hear?
"Kagome? Are you awake?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome didn't stir. She just kept pretending. Oh man what exactly did he yell out?
Kagome kept her eyes closed even after Inuyasha asked if she was awake. Kagome! I do love you! He yelled that. She knew it. Why was he dreaming of saying that? Does that mean that he really loves her? Or is saying 'I love you' a nightmare for him? She was so confused.
Kagome remembered reading something in her science class that dreams were from the subconscious and that the subconscious knew more things than conscious knew. So did that mean that Inuyasha loved her subconsciously?
"Kagome I know you're awake. You are the worst fake sleeper I've seen." Inuyasha said softly interrupting her train of thought. Kagome squeezed her eyes tighter and rolled over to face him. When she opened her eyes, she instantly found herself looking into Inuyasha's golden eyes.
"Yea I'm awake." Kagome said softly. She looked away from Inuyasha to see what time it was. It was 3:30 in the morning. Kagome then sat up and leaned against her head board so she could look at Inuyasha better.
"What did I yell out?" He asked her. Kagome knew instantly that this night was going to be full of admitting feelings and telling of truths. Kagome took a deep breath and said,
"Well I woke up before you yelled out first. I had a weird dream and I woke myself up, then I noticed you tossing and turning. That's when you yelled "Kagome! I do...I do love you." Kagome had a hard time repeating what he had said. Inuyasha nodded and his face grew slightly red. He also turned away from her and looked outside the window. "Can I asked you what you were dreaming about?" Kagome asked softly.
Inuyasha glanced at Kagome swiftly. "It doesn't matter. It was only a dream."
Kagome nodded and left it at that. Disappointment filled her. What were you expecting Kagome? She asked herself. Did you expect Inuyasha to get on his knees grasp your hand and confess his undying love for you? Kagome looked at Inuyasha again. Her eyes widened when she noticed that Inuyasha's golden orbs were locked on her own eyes.
"Kagome really don't worry about it. It was a dream. I'll probably never have it again." Kagome gave him a sincere smile.
"Alright. We should get back to sleep."
"He said that? Oh man Kagome! What was he dreaming?" Sango asked. Sango had been walking in the fields picking flowers when Kagome and Inuyasha had returned to the feudal era.
"That's the thing. He wouldn't tell me! I have no idea if he yelled that and it woke him up because telling me he loves me is that scary to him, or what." Kagome said frustrated. She flopped to the ground and stared in the horizon. Sango sat down beside her.
"Kagome, Miroku asked me to be his wife." Sango said blushing slightly. Kagome squealed with delight and hugged Sango.
"Sango that's great! Did you say yes?" Kagome asked breathlessly.
"I didn't answer him at first, but when I thought about how Miroku had been there for me the last two years, I honestly couldn't see myself without him in my life. After making him promise me that he won't stray to other women I said yes." Sango said with a huge smile on her face.
"Oh Sango I'm so happy for you. You need someone good in your life after everything with your family." Kagome said. Sango nodded. Kohaku was still missing even though Naraku was dead. Everyone knew he was still alive because when Sango explained to her little brother, with tears in her eyes, that once they took back the jewel shard he wouldn't live, Rin told everyone to stay put. When she came back Sesshoumaru told Sango to take the jewel shard. Sango did so but before Kohaku fell Sesshoumaru used the Tensagia and brought him back to life. Kohaku ran after that and no one had been able to find him.
"When will you be married?" Kagome asked her friend.
"The next new moon." Sango replied. Kagome nodded. Inuyasha would be human that night. Maybe just maybe he would confess something to her? He was always more open to her when he was human. Just maybe.
Inuyasha just heard the good news from Miroku. "Congratulations Miroku. When's the wedding?"
Miroku was grinning like an idiot and replied automatically "The next new moon!" Miroku realized what day that was and looked at Inuyasha quickly. He looked downright annoyed.
"Good going now how am I supposed to protect everyone when I'm a useless human?" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha calm down. It's going to be small. Kaede will marry us, you , Kagome, Shippo, Hachi, Kilala, Myogoa (if we can find him), and that should be all. All close friends, in a small village. It won't be that bad I promise." Miroku said.
Inuyasha nodded then looked up when he heard Sango and Kagome come nearer. The wind was blowing Kagome's hair in front of her face and she kept pushing it back. She was wearing a sleeveless green shirt and a long denim skirt. As she and Sango kept walking closer Kagome reached in her pocket and produced what she called a ponytail holder and she pulled her hair back. She was beautiful. Her face was animated while talking to Sango and she couldn't get the smile off her face.
"Inuyasha! Did Miroku tell you yet?" Kagome said to him when she got close enough.
Inuyasha shook his head before answering. "Yea he told me." He said to her.
Finally Kagome fell asleep. She and Sango had stayed up late in the night discussing her upcoming wedding and Inuyasha thought they would never go to sleep. Kagome had wrote in her book earlier and it just fired Inuyasha desire to read it. He knew she would get so upset if she found out he read it, but it was something that he had to do.
Quietly he got up and walked over to Kagome's yellow bag. She had tossed it in the main pocket so it should be near the top. Sure enough it was there. Inuyasha glanced at Kagome and made sure that she was indeed asleep. Before anyone could say 'sit' Inuyasha had her book and was darting out of the hut. Inuyasha ran to the river. The full moon was so bright that Inuyasha was able to read her book without any other help. He found a rock to sit on and opened to the last page she wrote on.
June27
Oh I'm so happy! Sango and Miroku are going to get married! Sango needs happiness in her life. Inuyasha will be human on the day they intend to get married. I'm kind of happy about this. Whenever Inuyasha is human I get to know him better. Normally he hides his main feelings about everything really well. He's really good at masking his face, but Sessshoumaro still wins on that category hands down.
Maybe seeing Sango and Miroku so happy together will make Inuyasha realize that he doesn't want to spend anymore time alone. Of course he could just run off and find Kikyou. I'd rather him be alone than be with Kikyou. But that's so mean of me to think. I can't help be jealous of Kikyou. How did she manage to get Inuyasha to confess his feelings for her? I wish I was brave enough to tell Inuyasha how I felt. I could tell him, and if I got a really bad reaction I could just go to my time and never return, but that would kill me. That's also the cowards way out.
I still can't get the other night out of my head. Why did he yell out "Kagome! I do love you!" I wish I could get inside his mind and see what he really thinks about me.
Inuyasha stopped reading because there was no more to read. She didn't outright state it, but I know she loves me! He thought to himself. Inuyasha started at the beginning of her book and read every letter she wrote. When he was finished his head was spinning. As quietly as he left, Inuyasha returned to Kaede's hut and put Kagome's book exactly where he found it. It would be morning soon, and Inuyasha couldn't wait to talk to Kagome.
Well that's the end of that chapter! So what did everyone think? This was a hard chapter to write! Well hoped everyone enjoyed and I hope everyone reviews soon!
