Someone to love

A/N People have been asking me if, in the story Inuyasha and Kikyo end up together, and no. I don't like Kikyo, lol. But yeah, no. I don't know where I'm really going with this but okay. Enjoy (and I'm glad people do too!)Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. It's all Rumiko Takahashi
Ch.3
Kagome yawned and walked out of the hut. It was still dark out, and was very peaceful. She smiled and walked towards the old God tree. She sat against it and closed her eyes. This is where I first met Inuyasha. I can't believe it's been a whole year now. She always loved this area. So calm and peaceful, especially in the early morning where she could get time to herself. The sun began to slowly rise, and Kagome sighed. She got up, and walked back to camp.
Everyone was still sleeping. She walked into the hut, and checked on Sesshoumaru. He was still sleeping. He stirred and awoke. "Morning." Kagome said cheerfully. "Sleep okay?" He looked up at her and nodded. "Good. Hey, we'll have breakfast soon, so if you want to join us, you can come out if your up to it kay?" Sesshoumaru just looked at her. Kagome shifted uncomfortably and started heading for the door. "Miko." Sesshoumaru said. She stopped and turned around. "Yeah?" "Thank you." Kagome stared wide-eyed at the taiyoukai. She smiled intently at him. "Your welcome." With that, she walked out. He stared at the miko until she was out of sight. He remembered something from last night.
Kagome softly groaned, waking up but kept her eyes closed. She shivered and grabbed onto something warm and soft. She quickly slipped into a comfortable spot and instantly fell asleep. Sesshoumaru woke up, and looked down at her, shocked. He was going to push her back into her own place, and save his tail… but she was sleeping so soundly. He looked down at her and saw a little smile arrive on her face. A strand of her raven hair fell down her face. She moved around a little to get comfy, and ended up leaning against Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru stayed in his place, stiff. But again, he looked down at the miko. He loosened up and was too, comfortable.
Why did he remember that? More importantly, why would he care? But the truth was, he was content. He felt comfortable with Kagome leaning against him. What am I thinking? She's nothing but a filthy human.
Wow. Did Sesshoumaru actually THANK me? She stared out, dazed. Inuyasha woke up and looked down at Kagome. What's Kagome thinking about? Inuyasha thought. He jumped down to welcome the miko. "Hey." He said, rubbing his eyes. "Morning Inuyasha." She replied. "I'll be back in a little bit. I'm going to find some fruit for breakfast." Kagome looked up at him, waiting for his approval. "Let me come with." Kagome looked shocked, but gladly accepted.
Inuyasha and Kagome walked through the village, collecting apples, peaches, pears, etc. It was a calm little village. Without looking at Inuyasha, Kagome said, "Thanks for helping me. I'm sure we have enough food, lets go back." Inuyasha nodded, and they headed back. By the time they were back at the hut, everyone was awake. Sesshoumaru was also outside, sitting against a tree alone. Kagome smiled and waved at everyone. She ran up, and handed everyone some fruit.
Inuyasha dropped the rest of the fruit to the ground, and everyone took their share.
Kagome walked over to Sesshoumaru and plopped down next to him. "You're leaving us today right?" She began. He nodded. "Your wounds have healed up right?" "Yes." Kagome nodded. She ate a bite of her apple. "When you leave," Kagome said, taking another bite of her apple, "Will we be your enemies again? You know, trying to take the Tetsusaiga?" He thought for a moment. Kagome had been so gentle with him, would he go back and make her hate him? She's the only one besides Rin to try to get to know me. When he didn't answer Kagome, she got slightly impatient, but shrugged it off. "Never mind." She said, giving up on the question.
A few hours later, it got really hot out. "Man. It's so hot out. I'm all sweaty and sticky and gross." Kagome said out of no where. "I'm going to take a bath. If I catch ANYONE peeking…" Kagome paused. "They'll be sorry." She glanced over to Miroku. She glared at him. He gulped. "Sango, wanna come with me?" Sango shook her head. "I took one a few days ago. I'll be fine." Kagome nodded. "I'll make sure no one peeks." She glanced over to Miroku, Inuyasha, and even Sesshoumaru. Kagome smiled gratefully.
A while later, Kagome came back. I feel a lot cleaner. She touched her hair, and ran her fingers through it. My hair is soft now too. Kagome hated it when her hair was greasy. Her hair and body had a vanilla scent. It was soft and airy, and she loved the smell. She sat by Sango and thanked her.
"Aren't you leaving YET!" Inuyasha said, finally losing his temper. "How long are you planning on STAYING!" Inuyasha said, his voice, dripping with hate. Kagome sighed. When she was about to say something, she heard a giggle and pants. "Lord Sesshoumaru!" A voice called. "Thank the heavens you're here!" The voice belonged to Jaken. "Sesshoumaru!" A small voice came. It was Rin's. "I thought you left us for good!" She said hugging Sesshoumaru's arm. Kagome smiled.
Rin walked up to Kagome. "Did you save Sesshoumaru?" She asked innocently. Kagome giggled. "Yeah. We did." Rin squealed with delight and hugged Kagome's leg. Rin looked up at the miko. "You smell pretty." Kagome looked at the girl shocked. She smiled, "Thanks." Rin looked pleased and ran up to Sesshoumaru. He raised an eyebrow. All human's smell filthy. The miko must smell filthy too.
Rin looked over at Shippo. She ran up to him. "Hi. Rin is Rin. Wanna play?" Shippo looked excited. "I'm Shippo. Yeah! I'll play with you." They ran to a small field and started chasing eachother. Kagome walked up to Sesshoumaru. "Can you stay for just a bit longer so that Rin and Shippo can play?" She looked at the taiyoukai with pleading eyes. "For awhile." He said. Kagome sat by him and watched the kids play. Sesshoumaru glanced at Kagome. She really did smell good. Interesting. She looked at him and smiled.
Kagome stood up and ran over to the kids. She helped pick flowers and soon they lay down. She stared up at the clouds. I still can't believe how beautiful this place is. Sesshoumaru walked up to her and the kids. "Rin. It is time to go. We need to go home." Rin pouted. "Awwww. Sesshoumaru." She sighed. "Ookay." She and Kagome stood up and Rin hugged her. Kagome looked surprised but non-the less hugged her back. "Come back anytime okay?" She said to Rin. Her expression changed from disappointed, to excited. "Rin wants to see Kagome again!" Rin exclaimed. She ran up to Sesshoumaru and Kagome followed. "Be safe." Was all Kagome said to them. Sesshoumaru nodded. "Sesshoumaru. Come back anytime.. You know, so Rin can have someone to play with." He turned around and slowly walked away.
"Bye- Bye!" Rin yelled, waving at Kagome and Shippo. "Good riddance." Inuyasha blurted out. Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "He didn't say anything when he was here. Why couldn't you have kept your mouth shut while he was here?" She snapped at him. He looked at her dumbfounded. Why is she sticking up for him? "Why are you sticking up for him!" He yelled. Kagome thought for a moment. The truth was, she didn't know. Why would I stand up for one of our enemies? She continued in her thoughts. It's because everyone needs a chance to be accepted.
