THE TRUTH COMES OUT
Kagome's old self came back to her, and she was flooded with emotions; She ran and threw her arms around him. Inuyasha's mind was racing before it stopped on this thought, "Kagome's here...hugging me...She's alive!"
His arms flew around her, and she began to sob into his shoulder.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha spoke under his breath, "I was so scared...I don't understand...you-you were dead"
"I thought you were dead...I saw your body..." she replied.
"Naraku..." he hissed, "He'll pay for this...I promise you this..."
Inuyasha and Kagome sat watching the sunset, later that evening; Kagome's head was resting on his shoulder and he was holding her in his arms.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah?"
"Earlier...you said you were scared," she continued.
"Yeah..."
"Of what?" she asked, looking into his eyes.
"I was scared of living without you..." he answered pushing a strand of hair out of Kagome's face, "...You've changed so much..."
"I grew up..." Kagome solemnly replied, looking back at the ground.
"Kagome, I wish I could've been with you..." he stated, looking out as the sun went down.
"You've changed a lot too, you know," Kagome said in a soft and sweet voice, "What happened to your eye and ear?"
"I, well..." Inuyasha started, but stopped as a sudden change came over him; his hair turned black, his eyes turned brown, and his claws, fangs, and dog ears disappeared.
"Heh, I'd forgotten tonight was a new moon..." Inuyasha chuckled.
Kagome touched his cheek, and her eyes looked at him as if she were taking in every asspect of him. They sat there together for a few more minutes before Inuyasha's couriosity got the better of him, "Kagome?"
"Yeah?" she looked up at him.
"Melina's father...who is he?" Kagome sat up and turned to him; She took a deep breath and took both his hands in her's.
"...Hojo..." Kagome said looking down, "Hojo was her father..."
"What do you mean 'was'?" Inuyasha tilted his head to the side.
"He...died...in a car accident when Melina was two..." Kagome replied sadly.
"...a...car?" he asked in confusion.
"You ride in it, and it takes you places..." Kagome replied.
"Oh...I'm sorry..." Inuyasha looked into her eyes, and let out a sigh of relief.
"What?" Kagome asked, tilting her head.
"I'm just kind of happy..."
"What do you mean?" she asked, again with the look of confusion.
"Well, I'm just...I was so worried you'd found someone new when I met Melina...and I...I don't think I could live knowing that you didn't love me..." he answered, saying that last part quietly and looked down.
"Inuyasha...I've always loved you," she replied, leaning over to look into the eyes of his turned down head, "and...and I always will."
Inuyasha looked up to meet her eyes; He leaned in slowly, looking into her eyes.
Inuyasha's eyes widened, and he turned quickly to come face to face with someone he hadn't seen in years.
"Hello, little brother," Sesshomaru spoke in his monotone voice, "It's been a while..."
