Hello people! I'm really sorry if I hadn't updated this story for a very long time. I hadn't had time you know. Now, I'm finally free of problems because it's already our vacation!
Anyway, I want to give special thanks to:
miriae – my dear friend and classmate. Thank you for encouraging me to continue this story when I was losing hope. You really are a good friend. Anyway, Inuyasha and Kikyo will not be together in this story. You always know that I'm a Kikyo hater…well unless she is with Sesshoumaru…blink
bishojo – thanks for all the reviews! I was really encouraged by your reviews because I know that someone appreciates my stories even though I don't…joke! Don't let Kikyo get into your nerves in my story! She is paired with Sesshy-chan here although it's not much obvious…I don't want to concentrate on her love story here…To tell you the truth…I HATE HER, TOO…always remember that…Now on with the story…Please R&R…thanks

Chapter 9FLASHBACK
When they finished, Kikyo looked at Sesshoumaru and said her thanks. And this was replied with a warm gaze.
END FLASHBACK
The night finally came, the stars invading the dark blue sky. Kikyo said her good bye to Inuyasha and his brother as a small blush crept on her face.
'Oh no! Now I'm really confused…I like Inuyasha but I like his brother too…Oh this is a sin!' she said silently to herself as she walked home. 'This cannot be happening…It can't be!'
(A/N: hey don't think that Kikyo here is like a bitch or something. She's just confused with her feelings. Just imagine yourself with Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru…you'll surely lose your head too! The two of them are just so HANDSOME…don't you think?)
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru went inside the house…both are silent.
Inuyasha looked at his brother's back and smiled a mischievous smile. "Hey! You like Kikyo don't you?" he teased.
"Ye—no! How could you say such things! She's young—just about your age!" he answered somewhat guiltily.
"Oh yeah? You were halfway to saying the sweet word 'yes'…and now you're denying it! Anyway, I saw the two of you looking warmly at each other. You can't say it's nothing. I know it means something special that will surely come soon…" Inuyasha remarked with a naughty smirk on his face.
"Just shut up, will you!" His brother shouted, signaling the end of the nasty conversation.
…………
The two were up early in the morning because of routine. Although they are what you can say fully awake with their eyes open, they are still daydreaming…looking at an empty space.
The sudden ringing of the phone cut their daydreaming. Both of them looked grumpily at the small thing residing on a table near the door.
Riiiiiiing!
Riiiiiing!
Riiiiiing!
Pissed of by the continues irritating sound, Inuyasha stood up and picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Inuyasha!" the caller greeted.
Inuyasha recognized the voice at once. The voice he longed to hear for a very long time.
"K—Kagome?" he said uncertainly.
Sesshoumaru was startled by the name Inuyasha just said. Did he just say Kagome?
Kagome let out a small laugh. "Of course it's me! I really miss all of you there! I just thought I could call because I haven't got anything to do here before my fli—"
She abruptly stopped. She almost said she was going home! She wanted to surprise Inuyasha that she's finally going home and never to leave again. And now, she almost spilled the beans!
"What?" Inuyasha inquired when she stopped speaking.
"Nothing. Don't mind my words. They're just too mixed up in my tongue." She answered rather nervously.
Their conversation, unfortunately, only lasted for a few minutes because it was a long distance call.
"I'm really okay here! Don't worry." Kagome said for about the third time. "I really need to go now. It's long distance and the bill is quite high now. B—"
"Wait!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"What?" she asked, rather curious.
"I—I—" he said, his heart beating faster and faster every second. He has his chance right now and he won't miss it again. He's got to say it to her.
He looked at his brother who was still watching the light conversation of the two through the phone. He nodded his encouragement.
He's got to tell her…NOW!
He again found his voice and courage to do so. "Kagome…I—I love you…"
Kagome was taken aback by this words. The word she wanted to hear from the only man she loved…she finally heard it. She was not sure if those words really escaped his lips, but…she can hear quite clearly.
"W—what?" she said in an uncertain voice.
"I said…I love you." Inuyasha repeated with a small smile.
Kagome was silent for a moment. Inuyasha thought that she was angry and asked, "Is—Is it okay for you?"
"Yes…thanks." she said lightly. "Bye now."
Inuyasha couldn't explain the happiness he feels right now. HE just told her about his feelings and he—undoubtedly—sensed the happiness in her voice when she said thanks.
For him, that only means one thing—she loves him too…

Yep, this chap is the third to the last chapter of this story. It's almost finished! blink, blink
