Kagome was shopping in the grocery store. She had a light spring to her step and she couldn't stop smiling. She was getting the weirdest looks from the other people. Some just looked downright pissed that she was so damn happy and they weren't.
"Can we go already?" Inuyasha said. Kagome laughed at him and smiled. Inuyasha was wearing old jeans and a flannel tee-shirt. Kagome had pulled his hair into a low ponytail and there was a fishing cap on his head. He looked completely different!
"Yea I'm almost done here." She said. Inuyasha hadn't left her side ever since they told each other of their feelings. Kagome wanted to go to her era by herself but Inuyasha was stubborn.
When Kagome had told Sango what had happened, Sango squealed and jokingly asked Kagome if she wanted to make her wedding a double wedding. Kagome had blushed deep red.
It could happen though. Kagome had thought I mean Inuyasha and I have known each other for two years, just about the same amount of time that Sango and Miroku have known each other.
Kagome shook her head at the memory. She was only seventeen! She wasn't even considered an adult yet!
Kagome walked over to the check out lane and paid for everything. She noticed that Inuyasha kept sniffing the air and looking every which way. They went outside and it was like walking into a giant oven.
Kagome looked over at a group of little kids who were laughing and squealing. One little girl had brown hair that was very curly and hung past her shoulders. She had the most beautiful green eyes Kagome had ever seen. As she was watching the little girl missed the colorful ball that was thrown to her. The ball bounced in the street. Before Kagome could blink the little girl ran into to the road in front of a car. "Watch out!" Kagome yelled as she ran to the little girl.
She reached the girl, grabbed her and tripped as she hurried to get out of the way. She felt Inuyasha's hands around her waist and felt herself pulled into the air as a different car went over the spot Kagome and the girl had been lying. Inuyasha hopped over to the sidewalk and Kagome released her death grip on the girls shirt.
"Mommy!" She cried. Kagome saw a frantic looking mother dash across the street when it was clear and hurry to her daughter. She grabbed her daughter and held her close as she cried.
"Thank you, o god thank you!" She said to Kagome. Kagome smiled and nodded. She walked around to the girl so that she could see her face.
"You better be more careful next time. Your life is more important than a ball." Kagome said to her. The girl sniffled and hugged her mom even tighter.
Inuyasha watched Kagome talk to the girl's mother. He was still in shock. Kagome had just ran into the road nearly killing herself for a stranger! His heart had nearly stopped when he saw Kagome fall. Kagome walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. Inuyasha swallowed past the lump in his throat and put his arms around her.
"This is why I don't want to leave you Kagome. I almost lost you." He said huskily into her ear. Kagome tilted her head and kissed him on the neck.
"Thank you Inuyasha." She said. Inuyasha placed his hand under her chin and tilted her face toward him. He kissed her lightly over the lips and embraced her.
July 3
What a day its been! God I was looking at my last entry. The night Inuyasha told me he loved me. It seems like a dream but then I look at Inuyasha and he looks at me back and I know it wasn't.
Today I was shopping with Inuyasha, buying more supplies. After we walked out of the grocery store I saw a group of kids playing. On little girl ran into the street, in front of a car, just to grab a ball. Without thinking I ran after grabbed her and got away from the car. But then I tripped in front of another car. I saw it coming and I swear to god the only thought running through my head was If I died, I would be so sad because I wouldn't get to see Inuyasha anymore.
That's when Inuyasha saved both of our lives and put us on the sidewalk. I thought he was going to get mad at me, but he just looked really shook up. He held me close and told me he thought he was going to lose me. No one has ever said anything so sweet to me. I melted. If possible I think I fell more in love with him.
Right now he's watching television and I'm in my room. I don't like writing in front of him for some odd reason. I never cared before but, I don't know I can't really explain it. It's also getting harder and harder to get some time to myself to write also.
Inuyasha heard the water for Kagome's shower turn off, so he expected her downstairs relatively soon, but after a half hour and still no Kagome he got up and went to her room. She had on the weird headphone things on her ears and she was writing in her book again. He hardly saw her write in it anymore, and he instantly wondered what she was writing about.
Kagome's hair was still damp and there were little water droplets on the floor around her. Her head was nodding in time with the music that he couldn't hear. She would hum to a few parts and sway her body in time to the music from where she was sitting.
Inuyasha backed out of her room then made a huge racket coming to her room and he knocked loudly on her door. He wasn't going to get a sit for spying on her. After he knocked Kagome looked up startled, but the smile he got from her was well worth it.
"Hey." She said pulling off her headphones. She got up and Inuyasha couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her. Just to think she was always around for the last two years and it was only now that they were finally getting closer.
Kagome had just gotten to his side when her mom poked her head in the door way. "Kagome I really wish I would have known that you and Inuyasha would have been here. I have those tickets for the concert and I really can't cancel."
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. She was nodding her head sadly. "I would have love to have gone with you mom." She said. "But don't worry about us. You guys have a good time!" Kagome forced out falsely.
"Inuyasha, your clothes are in the dryer, you can wear them now." Kagome's mom told him. Inuyasha nodded at her and grunted a thanks. "Kagome don't wait up for us, I have no idea when we'll be back. Be good you guys!" She chirped as she walked down the stairs when Kagome's grandpa and brother were.
After they had left Inuyasha turned back to Kagome who was sitting on her bed trying to hold back tears. Tears? Her shoulders were shaking with silent sobs and as hard as she tried not to, she let silver tears drip from her eyes. "Kagome?" Inuyasha said. That's when Kagome took a deep breath and started to sob.
Kagome was mortified at what she was doing, but she couldn't help it. Every time she came back from the feudal era she felt more and more distant with her family. She hardly knew her brother, and her Gramps seemed to age in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw Inuyasha standing there with a baffled look on his face. "Inuyasha, I feel like I don't know my family anymore. The concert their going to is held every year and it's a tradition that our whole family goes. Since Mom didn't know if I was going to be here or not, she didn't buy me a ticket and now I'm missing it!" She said in a broken voice.
Snap out of it! She yelled at herself. Inuyasha is going to think that you're a huge baby! She reached over to her night stand and grabbed a few tissues and dabbed them at her eyes. "Just ignore me. I-I-" Inuyasha had walked over and wrapped his arms around Kagome.
"Shhh. It's okay to cry, you were close to your family before you stumbled into my time weren't you?" Kagome nodded. She laid her head on his chest and listened to his calm steady heartbeat.
Inuyasha repositioned himself so that he was laying on the bed and Kagome's head was resting on his chest.
Inuyasha was amazed. Kagome had fallen asleep on his chest. He loved being this close to her. He thought again to earlier that day when she had nearly been killed. A shudder ran through him and he couldn't believe she had almost died, and for a stranger no less! That was Kagome though, she would save anyone in trouble.
Kagome sighed and mumbled in her sleep and Inuyasha smiled. After a while Inuyasha fell asleep also.
A nightmare started. It was different from the other one that he normally had.
Inuyasha was walking through a field, the sky was grey, and the wind whipped Inuyasha's hair around his face. He looked around and noticed he was by the dry well that Kagome always came out of. Since she wasn't near him, and he couldn't smell her he guessed that she was on the other side.
"That's where she belongs." a voice said. Not just any voice, but Kikyou's voice. Inuyasha's eyes widened and a soul collector drifted by him. He slowly turned around and saw Kikyou standing three feet away from him.
She looked at him with those expressive eyes and took slow steps until she reached him. "Inuyasha why do you want my incarnate when I am here? I love you! Love you!" Kikyou threw herself in his arms and tried to kiss him. At the last second Inuyasha turned his head.
"Kikyou, no. You're dead and I don't love you like that anymore."
"Are you saying that your love for my incarnate has surpassed your love for me?" Kikyou asked anger filling her resentful eyes. Inuyasha nodded.
Kikyou shrieked and the wind blew even more violently. Three soul collectors brought Kagome to Kikyou. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. "What did you do to her? Let her go!" Inuyasha yelled.
"If I can't have you no one can!" Kikyou declared. After she said that the soul collectors wrapped themselves around Kagome tight. She gasped out Inuyasha's name and struggled to breath. "KAGOME!"
Inuyasha jumped and the sleeping Kagome was flung on the floor. "Shit! Dammit Inuyasha, what's your problem?" Kagome yelled from the floor. Inuyasha however wasn't listening. He glanced around and noticed that he was in Kagome's room.
"Inuyasha what the hell is going on?"
"None of your damn business!" He snapped at her.
Kagome snapped her mouth shut. "Well than, I'll just let you be." She said cooly to him as she started to walk towards the door.
"Kagome wait!" Kagome paused and looked back at him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I just need to think." He said looking eagerly into her eyes.
"Don't let me stop you." She said to him walking out the door and down the stairs. She grabbed herself a steaming hot cup of tea and noticed that only an hour had past. The concert isn't even half way over. She thought glumly.
Kagome heard Inuyasha walking around upstairs and she looked up wondering what he was doing. She heard him come downstairs and Kagome picked up the nearest magazine trying to look busy.
She felt his hand rub her shoulders and he kissed the side of her neck. "Another nightmare?" She asked acutely aware of every spot he touched. Inuyasha nodded and turned her face so he could kiss her.
Inuyasha loved kissing Kagome. Her lips were so full and soft. She rubbed his back slowly and sensuously with her hands and a shiver went up his spine. Kagome was so good for him, she healed him in every way. "Lets go to my room." She mumbled against his lips.
Inuyasha repositioned himself so he was able to carry Kagome and still kiss her at the same time. He walked slowly up the stairs and walked into her room. They fell on her bed and kissed for a while longer. Inuyasha wanted to touch every inch on her, but he knew not to rush it. After they had made out for a while, they laid on her bed and talked for another hour before Kagome drifted back to sleep. Inuyasha however decided that sleep was the last thing he needed.
