Chapter 7

Night time

Sesshomaru and Kagome approached the village. Jaken and Rin were to stay at the clearing where Sesshomaru left them.

"Well, I'll wait for you here, the scent of so many humans sickens me" Sesshomaru said. Kagome rolled her eyes and nodded as she continued to walk to the village.

'Geez if I run into Inuyasha I'm done for, but I wonder how he's doing though, being a new moon and all' Kagome thought as she saw the hut in front of her. She took a deep breath and knocked on the curtain door. She heard movement inside, and then Miroku opened the curtain.

"Good evening Kagome" Miroku said surprised.

"Hi Miroku, I just…" Kagome began as she saw Sango come out with her backpack.

"Come to get your backpack? Here" Sango smiled. Kagome took it and smiled back. She glanced inside to see Shippo asleep in the corner, and Kaede over the fire. But where was Inuyasha?

"Thank you, where isInuyasha, isn't it the…"

"New moon yeah, but he's out somewhere, don't worry" Miroku replied. Kagome nodded.

"Well I better get going, I'll see you both later" Kagome spoke as she left the hut. Kagome kept walking thru the forest, heading to the clearing where she was to meet Sesshomaru. She saw the god tree not to far from her and smiled, she decided to stop by there. She soon arrived there but saw something dark sitting at the base. She gasped as she saw the human Inuyasha asleep at the trunk. She approached him and smiled.

'He looks so peaceful when he sleeps, way more peaceful than his normal self' Kagome thought. She was now only a few feet away from him.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered. Inuyasha groaned as he opened his eyes to see Kagome right in front of him, his eyes went wide.

"Kagome? What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked.

"I was heading to the clearing to meet Sesshomaru when I came across you" Kagome replied.

"Oh yeah, your with Sesshomaru, well you better go, he hates to wait too long" Inuyasha spoke quietly. Kagome heart sank, she thought he would be begging her to stay, but it was the opposite, he was pushing her away.

'Well if that the way he likes it…' Kagome thought. She nodded and kept walking to the clearing.

"Wait… Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome stopped and looked back at Inuyasha at the tree.

"Yes?"

"I'm…. sorry". Kagome froze, was he apologizing to her?

"I'm sorry for treating you like dirt all the time, and your not just a shard detector to me, your way more Kagome, more than you can believe" Inuyasha spoke, his gazed went from the floor to the silent Kagome, "And I can understand that you choose to go with Sesshomaru instead of me, I pushed you too far. I just wanted to tell you that before you left again" Inuyasha spoke then turned away from Kagome. Kagome walked back to him and knelt in front of him.

"How much do I mean to you?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha didn't reply. Kagome went around him and knelt there. She pushed his bangs out of the way to see that he was crying.

"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha wiped away the tears with his arm and snorted.

"Damn human emotions" he muttered under his breath.

"Inuyasha, what did you mean by I mean more to you than I'll ever believe?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked up at her, Kagome froze. The look in his eyes was full of sadness and this tugged at her heart.

"Kagome, while you were gone, I realized something I should have noticed before, I'm…. I'm in love with you Kagome" Inuyasha said, his gaze fell to the forest ground. Kagome's heart leaped at those words.

"I… Inuyasha" She whispered. She then wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his chest. Inuyasha froze; he then wrapped his own arms around her.

"Kagome" Inuyasha whispered in her ear. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes.

"You have no idea how long I've waited to hear those words. I love you too" Kagome replied. Inuyasha's eyes went wide, she felt the same way. Inuyasha brought his hand up and stroked her cheek. She then cupped her cheek and leaned forward, they kissed.

Epilogue

Sesshomaru, Jaken, Ah and Uh with Rin asleep on its back, walked through the forest.

"Lord Sesshomaru, did Kagome go back with Inuyasha?" Jaken asked.

"Yes she did" Sesshomaru replied. Sesshomaru looked into the starry sky, 'But its not even close to being over yet, there is an evil after Inuyasha that he has to be careful of that's after him that can jeopardize his life and future mate's also' he thought as they continued to walk thru the forest.
