Trust

Inuyasha watched Kagome's wet face fall asleep to a deep slumber. He wanted to tell her why he ran away but he couldn't really explain it in words. He now has the whole jewel, and he doesn't know what he should do with it. Kouga gave the jewel shards to them and Sango's brother was finally free. Inuyasha felt like he didn't deserve The Jewel of Four Souls, he didn't want to be a full demon any more than he wanted to kill Kagome. He wanted to be with Kagome as long as he possibly could.

Inuyasha laid Kagome on the soft grass making her twist a bit. He lay down besides her cushioning his head with his hands. He thought that he should give Kagome the Jewel. To him she deserved it; she deserved to choose what they were going to do with it. Inuyasha made up his mind; he was going to give Kagome the Shikon No Tama in the morning in front of everybody.

A couple minutes afterwards Inuyasha was fast asleep.

The next morning Kagome woke with a spasm of bliss of what happened last night. She was delighted that he knew how she felt. But she knew it was going to be awkward to tell Sango and every body what had happened. She got up really slowly and aroused Inuyasha. He smiled and hugged Kagome; she embraced it without awkwardness. Inuyasha pulled away. He started to get up and stretch, Kagome got up and did the same.

"Inuyasha I think we should start to get going now. Miroku and Sango are with a village just a mile from here. They should be awake about now; Miroku should already have a hand mark on his face at this instant." She laughed and imagined Miroku smiling, touching the red hand mark on his cheek. Inuyasha laughed to Kagome's surprise. "You laughed… You laughed!" Inuyasha stared at Kagome as she danced around while pointing at Inuyasha whilst chanting "You laughed!" His face became thoughtful, and he tried to remember the last time he'd even chuckled. His mind went blank. He frowned. 'Damn…'

Inuyasha felt himself get tackled down onto the grass. For a second he thought he was being attacked and looked into Kagome's face. She and Inuyasha tumbled down the steep hill into a field of grass. "Why'd you do that!" Inuyasha howled. They stared at each other, Inuyasha's face totally mad, and a second later his features became elated. Inuyasha burst out laughing, tears forming in his eyes. Kagome lay there awkwardly on top of him, feeling his body shake with laughter. She started to giggle and laughed as hard as ever, they fell over on their sides wiping away their tears and hugged each other playfully.

"You know," Kagome sighed happily staring deeply into Inuyasha's eyes. "I'm really happy right now. Really. You're relaxed, I'm relaxed and every body's probably feeling better right now. There's just one crisis…" She frowned, and moved a little bit away from Inuyasha. "What?" He said feeling bad for whatever he did. Kagome sat up and crossed her legs. "Well… It's just…What are we going to do with the Shikon Jewel?" She blurted out, frightened of the answer. Kagome watched Inuyasha smirk happily as he stood up and swept her off the pasture. He stared at her dreamily before he ran straight into the woods. "Which way is the village?" He said loudly jumping 7 feet with each step. Kagome stared dumbstruck at him. She pointed somewhere north. He kept on running, beaming with every jump.

Kagome stared at Inuyasha the rest of the way there. She was very frustrated at him right now. He had just swept her off the ground and asked where the village was not bothering to answer that would matter on the rest of their lives. But what surprised her is that Inuyasha had smiled and was still smiling now. She had guessed he did this because of something important…

He had not spoken since his question and the only thing she could hear right now was the swooshing of the wind and the sound of breaking sticks. Kagome started to think of the song riot girl. If she could she would change it to Riot Boy and mess up the lyrics so it would fit it would be perfect for Inuyasha. She loved her American music. Inuyasha stopped and stared up at the sky. "What? What?" Kagome said panicking. Inuyasha dropped her on the floor softly. His smirk had turned into a deep frown and he kept on staring at the sky. She looked up and some something worse than Naraku.

Kykio's sole stealers were swirling through the dark sky.

"No Inuyasha…No…"

He looked over to her and held her hand. "You're coming with me, stupid." He started to track the sole stealers at a slow jog. Kagome followed obediently.
