The Adventures Of Inuyasha: Settling In
Chapter Twelve: I Love You, Inuyasha
Koga was lying on the ground, with his arms behind his head, in a clearing in the woods. He was just taking a break. He was only a few minutes from his home. 'My home.' Koga smiled, he really liked that thought.
Koga decided that he was going to take a nap. He closed his eyes, and began day dreaming.
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku were in the main hut, talking about Andoru's leave, Shippo and Kirara were playing outside, and Kikyo was not back from her visit with Kaede.
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku were sitting cross legged in a circle on the floor in the main hut. Everyone had already read the letter from Andoru, and everyone was worried. Even Inuyasha.
"So, let's go over this again. Andoru had a nightmare that had something to do with the Illusion Master, and now he's going to fight the Illusion Master?" "Yes Miroku, for the last time, he had a nightmare about the Illusion Master, and now he's going to fight him," answered Sango, annoyed.
"But that's not all, the Illusion Master made an illusion of Inuyasha that told Shinsei that it destroyed her village," said Kagome. "And then there was that other illusion at the bar who told Shinsei where we live," said Inuyasha.
"But that nightmare he had, it doesn't make any sense. He had a nightmare about the Illusion Master, right? But then why did he mention his mother and father?" Asked Miroku.
"I don't know, but we need to help Andoru," said Kagome. "Yeah I know that, but Andoru said that this guy is tough. And if Shinsei is stronger then me, then imagine what the Illusion Master can do," said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I've never heard you admit that someone is stronger then you besides Naraku," said Miroku. "Whatever. But nobody except those two are stronger then me," said Inuyasha, in his arrogant tone.
"All right, when that stupid wolf gets back we'll follow Andoru," said Inuyasha, getting up. Inuyasha walked to the door, opened it, and stepped out. The air had the scent of flowers, and they smelt good.
"I'm going to my hut, I don't wanna be disturbed," said Inuyasha, not turning around. He began walking to his hut, watching Shippo and Kirara play tag. Sango and Miroku began talking, but Kagome blocked them out.
She began thinking, about Inuyasha. She missed him. She missed kissing him, hugging him, cuddling with him, she loved him still. She wanted to tell him. But she couldn't tell him because of Koga.
She was in love with Koga, and he was in love with her. And if she left him, he would be heart broken. She remembered the time when she and Inuyasha promised that they would love each other forever.
But that was when they were dating. Which was over a year ago. But she still loved him. She wondered if he still loved her. She doubted it. But she had to find out. Her heart ached for Inuyasha, and she always tried to follow her heart.
But she also loves Koga, she loves them both. But she can't make up her mind on who she really wants to be with for the rest of her life. She wanted to see what Inuyasha felt, she couldn't wait any longer.
"Guys, I'm gonna go for a walk," said Kagome, getting up. "Sure Kagome, but be careful," said Sango. "Ok," said Kagome, walking out of the hut. She kept walking, and watched Shippo and Kirara, who had stopped chasing each other, and had started wrestling when Shippo tackled Kirara.
Shippo was losing against Kirara, and hadn't even noticed Kagome walking by. Kagome reached Inuyasha's hut and stopped. She stood at the door, not sure if she should knock or just walk in.
She decided to just walk in. She opened the door, walked in, and closed the door, not turning around to do so. Inuyasha was lying down on his back on the bed, his arms behind his head.
'Shoot! He's asleep. Well, I guess it will be easier to tell him while he's asleep.' Kagome walked over to the bed, and sat on the bed cross legged, facing Inuyasha. 'Ok, he's asleep, let's just get this over with.'
"Um, Inuyasha, I have something to tell you. I know that you're asleep, but I just need to say this to you, just to get it off my chest, at least until when you wake up," said Kagome nervously.
There were butterflies in Kagome's stomach. She was extremely nervous. "Inuyasha, I…I…I…I love you! There! I said it!" Tears were streaming out of Kagome's eyes, she squeezed her eyes shut, clenching her fists.
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you earlier, I wasn't sure! But now I am. I still love you." Her eyes remained squeezed shut, her fists still clenched, tears still streaming out of her eyes.
Inuyasha was awake, he never planned on taking a nap. He was just thinking, in private, with his eyes closed, and Kagome thought that he was asleep. He knew she had entered the room the moment she had stepped in.
Inuyasha opened his eyes, and studied Kagome a minute before speaking. "Kagome, I didn't know you felt the same way," said Inuyasha sitting up. He still loved Kagome, his heart desired Kagome. He desired Kagome.
And now, he might be able to have her, once again, and if he did, he would always be with her. Kagome opened her eyes, as Inuyasha gently took her hands in his. She unclenched her fists immediately.
"Inu…yasha…I…I'm so happy you that you still love me!" Kagome flung her arms around Inuyasha's neck, hugging him. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist.
Kagome sobbed for a moment but stopped and lifted her face and moved her face in front of Inuyasha's. "I love you, Inuyasha."
