Chapter 9

Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha series but I am the glorious creator of the OCs in this plot! All must bow down to Susuka! Ok you don't have to bow down to me, I'm not that conceited, I'm not even a good writer. Read this if you must but please do not flame me. I'm happy that my horribly written story has not gotten any so far.

Susuka- I'd better do something magnificent in this chapter or my readers will probably kill me…

Inuyasha: Get back here! ((runs with tetsusaiga drawn))

Susuka- looks behind her Uh oh. ((starts running)) please read and I hope that I'm still here by the end of the chapter!

Inuyasha looked helplessly between the forest, where Brittney was most likely, and Kagome. Kagome was the first person to accept him for who he was, but Brittney seemed to care and be there for him more.

"I-I'm sorry Kagome." Inuyasha sullenly whispered and dashed off to find Brittney. His heart was broken in pieces, he had forsaken both Kagome and Kikyo for Brittney. Even through his depressed mood he snapped out of it and recalled to the matter at hand. He resumed his search for Brittney through the numerous trees and each shadow that he saw reminded him of the many demons lurking in the woods. He searched for hours on end before he finally found her in a clearing. She was sitting by a shining lake and he thought that she never looked more like an angel. He slowly approached her and stealthily made his presence unknown to her.

"Brittney are you ok?" Inuyasha asked as he walked up to her. The black haired girl snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him. All she saw of him was his beautiful amber eyes and she nearly lost herself within them.

"Inuyasha? What are you doing here? Where's Kagome?" Brittney inquired, but when she saw Inuyasha's tormented face she knew something was wrong.

"She's not here, I was looking for you to apologize for not believing you or Miroku. I went outside to see if you were there, and I found Kagome crying and Shippo trying to help her. Kagome asked who I loved more, you or her, and I chose…" Inuyasha suddenly stopped, but Brittney had already gotten the message. He looked away towards the lake, in this pause in words Brittney walked slowly over to him and embraced him in a hug. He looked down at her surprised at her gesture of affection and awkwardly returned the hug. As they relaxed in each others embrace Inuyasha suddenly, and without thinking kissed her on the top of her head. Startled, Brittney looked up into his eyes and saw an expression she had never seen on his face before.

The expression was a mixture of deep sadness, pain, and love. Inuyasha caught her looking up into his eyes and gave her a faint smirk that hinted of his arrogant self.

"Inuyasha…I….I wanted to tell you that I-I-I love you." Brittney hurriedly exclaimed feeling pangs of self-doubt. She didn't want to make herself look like a fool in front of him.

"Brittney." Inuyasha said and he kissed her again, but this time he kissed her on the lips. All of a sudden their innocent kisses turned into a passionate make-out.

As time elapsed they stopped and Brittney was resting in the embrace of his lean, muscular arms. They laid there for an unknown amount of time, time had seemed to have frozen. They seemed to be the only people in the world, Brittney relaxing in his arms and Inuyasha propped up against a tree.

The next day when she woke up, she examined her surroundings. She at first was startled, but when her eyes fell upon Inuyasha she smiled and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks. After a while she felt Inuyasha stirring from his peaceful slumber and she looked up at him, hoping to meet his gaze to soothe her own lust and longing for him.

He slowly opened his eyes and met Brittney's intent gaze. Then the events of the previous night hit him like a brick and he broke the gaze that had become mutual between them.

Brittney broke the silence by saying, "Should we head back now?"

"Sure, the others are probably looking for us." He responded even though he didn't want to see Kagome's hurt face fill with tears at the sight of him and Brittney. As Brittney got up, Inuyasha followed. They started to walk back to the village and Inuyasha gently took hold of Brittney's hand. She looked at him marveling at the change that had come over her beloved.

They walked like this for the entire time that they were walking. They finally reached the village, but to Inuyasha and Brittney's dismay they saw they had a welcoming committee . It was Kagome and she was standing in the middle of their intended path.

"So you do love her don't you Inuyasha." Kagome accused as she eyed their hands clasped, fingers entwined.

Inuyasha looked away towards the rest of the village and his eyes softened. Kagome noticed this change and she gave up her intent wish for an answer she already knew. She decided to walk away, and Inuyasha had to restrain himself from following after her. He had made his decision and he had to stick by it. Brittney noticed his facial features start to become strained and she shot a questioning glance at him. He continued to look at something far away, like he was somewhere else. He stiffened suddenly, let go of Brittney's hand and turned around.

Susuka- ((0o)) What is it that made Inuyasha turn around and stop the cute fluffy moment?

Inuyasha- You should know, you're writing this garbage.

Susuka- I shouldn't say the magic word to you. You're correct in saying that it's garbage. No one has reviewed in a long time. ((looks at the yellowing edges of her reviews.))((sigh)) Oh well, I think someone might because of my cute fluff. A lot of people like fluff don't they?

Sango- If you say so.

Kilala- Yeah... uh wait I mean...meow!
