Recaputuation: ( I made it up:D)

He jumped as he realized where he was. He looked quickly to the left and right to find Kagome sound asleep below him along with the rest of his companions, old and new.

Kagome…

He jumped off of the tree and landed silently near the base of his tree. Inuyasha walked up to the spot where Kagome was sleeping and sat cross-legged next to her.

He then pulled her into his arms and held her there, breathing in her light, rose-like scent.

I love you….

Chapter 14: Rude Awakening.

Kagome felt the light sun beaming on her face.

Morning already?

She suddenly became aware of a someone holding her.

Her eyes flittered open to see Inuyasha's chest. She had her head rested against his chest with his arms around wrapped around her.

Inuyasha? Why?

She looked up to find his fixating golden eyes.

"Good morning," she heard a deep voice whisper.

She smiled up at him and said, "Good morning, Inuyasha."

It was just a little bit after dawn and the sun fully above the horizon, but it still had its neon orange glow and you could see the morning star in the bluing sky.

The wind blew Inuyasha and Kagome's hair over their shoulders as the quiet of the early morning thrummed through the air.

She didn't want to ruin this but she had to ask.

"Inuyasha, how did we end up like this?"

"Like what?"

Kagome looked at their position and then back up to Inuyasha who caught on.

"Oh," it looked like he had no idea what she was talking about.

What do I say?

The truth?

A Lie?

"You looked cold last night," he said nervously as he turned his eyes from her curious gaze.

"Oh….." she said smiling, noticing the way Inuyasha was shifting around.

She adjusted herself so she was close to Inuyasha's right ear and whispered a thank you then turned around to sit herself in his lap, facing the bright sun.

Inuyasha on the other hand was the color of his kimono, slightly twitching.

At the moment Kagome bent in to whisper in his ear, his kimono that sat on her shoulders came down a little too far.

Oi…I probably should've but…GOD IM TURNING INTO MIROKU!

Without realizing it, he managed to wrap his arms around Kagome's waist as she leaned into his chest, her eyes closing once again and her head rolling to the side, her mess of hair framing her delicate face.

Inuyasha moved his eyes around Kagome's features, as if memorizing her every pore, every strand of hair, every thing.

In the tree Inuyasha was in the previous night, Ryann and Griffin sat peering down at the pair.

Their so cute! Ryann telepathically giggled to her husband.

Not as cute as you. He said leaning his head against her shoulder.

Ryann blushed and kissed Griffin.

How does he always make me blush!

Because I love you and your extremely blushable.

Crap. You weren't supposed to hear that…

I hear a lot of your thoughts that I'm not supposed to hear, like last night, you didn't clip the connection and I just so happened to see your dreams…

Ryann looked up at Griffin with big eyes and a horrified expression on her face.

Griffin however, smiled a mischievous grin.

The others began to wake and Inuyasha looked down at Kagome's head with sweat coming down his brow.

Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, OH SHITTY CRAP

"Eh…Kagome…" Inuyasha said poking her shoulder.

"What is it Inuyasha?" she asked looking up into his eyes innocently.

"Em..Eh..Could we like ehh…" his eyes started darting towards the stirring forms of their friends.

She looked at him a little confused but she followed his eyes then looked back up at him with hurt in place of the confusion.

"Oh, I understand….."

Inuyasha…are you afraid to show your love of me openly?

Kagome stood up and sat down on her sleeping bag, still looking like someone just punched her in the stomach.

Stupid kid…Griffin sent.

Griffin! This is YOUR nephew we're talking about remember! Ryann scorned.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN! he asked angrily.

Do you NOT remember how long it took for us to get together? She asked equally as angry.

But I wasn't like that. He said defending himself.

Hmph…was all the reply he got from her as she turned her head.

Ryann…he said shakily.

She crosses her arms keeping her head turned.

Ryann…he whispered.

She clamped her eyes shut. She didn't want to give in to him.

I'm sorry…he tried.

She was trying so hard not to cave in, but it's very hard to withstand the one you love.

He drew her into his arms and started whispering 'I'm sorry, and 'I love you' into her ear.

That was it. She was weak. She couldn't resist him.

Ryann leaned back into his chest and smiled a small smile.

Damn you Griffin…

How can I be damned if I have you?

Her smile widened at that and she kissed him.

They looked back down and saw Kagome was about ready to cry but wouldn't let the tears fall.

Ryann's eyes filled with sympathy and she slid down the back of the tree.

Where are you going? Griffin asked.

Kagome…was her answer.

Ryann walked up to Kagome and sat down next to her.

"Hey."

"Hello Ryann," she said trying to disguise the sorrow in her voice.

That's all that was said between the two. Ryann thought it best for Kagome to try to sort herself out.

Inuyasha's gaze kept looking at Kagome's face then back toa suddenly interesting cloud.

The Sun had into the sky now, it was about 7 ish and the others woke up.

"Good morning.." said Sango yawning, stretching her arms above her head.

"hmm..yes good morning indeed," Miroku replied, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Good morning," Kagome said glumly with her arms wrapped around her knees.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked worriedly.

"Nothing.." she said holding the tears back.

Inuyasha wanted to hold Kagome close and stop the tears. He didn't like to hurt Kagome but what would happen if they found out…the other demons.

He couldn't put Kagome in the risk of being taken away by other demons to get at Inuyasha. He couldn't see another woman that he loved this dearly die in his hand.

I'm sorry Kagome…

Inuyasha stood up and started towards the woods.

"Inuyasha, where are you going?" Miroku asked.

"Feh, where does it look like monk?" he replied without turning around or stopping.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha's back as he continued, with the hurt deepening in her eyes.

"Ehhh… did we miss anything?" Leon asked, as he and Lance walked up to the group.

"I think so but we missed it too," replied Sango, looking terribly confused.

"Kagome, come here. Would you?" Ryann asked suddenly getting up.

"uhh..sure…" she replied standing up too.

Ryann gave Kagome a smile and lead her toward the edge of the forest in a different direction from Inuyasha.

"Kagome, will you forgive him?" she asked quietly.

"WHY WOULD I EVER FORGIVE THAT JER-" she cut herself off.

"Kagome..?"

"I don't have anything to forgive him for though," she said trying to mask it with a smile.

"Kagome you don't have to hide it. I saw what happened this morning."

Kagome looked down at the ground at that, and turned pink.

"I know about how our men work remember. I'm with one," Ryann said jokingly.

Kagome broke down and hit her knees, crying.

"Ryann," she sobbed, "Why..why…does h-h-he do this to me."

"Aww, Kagome…"

Ryann knelt down and hugged Kagome.

"Inuyasha is afraid."

"What?" Kagome asked wiping her eyes, trying to compose herself.

"He's afraid you might reject him, for who he is," she said, calming Kagome.

"Why wouldn't I accept him? If I love him he should know that I love him for him," stated Kagome confused.

"Well, look at how many women he has had in his life. There is his mother, Kikyo, and you. Correct?" Ryann said leading on.

"Yeah…" Kagome said not catching it.

"Well excluding his mom, he has had you and Kikyo. Kikyo wanted Inuyasha to change into a human for her, and his childhood has been nothing but exile. Neither human or demon, always walking on the border of them both, never really belonging anywhere." Ryann explained.

"Oh I see, Inuyasha's afraid I won't accept him either." Kagome said in thought.

"And there is also another threat," said Ryann gravely.

"What else can there be?" Kagome asked, warily.

"Everyone else." Ryann said darkly.

Kagome's eyes opened wide. "W-w-what do you mean?"

"Well, Inuyasha has a lot of enemies…and they will use YOU to get to him. Are you following?" Ryann asked, seeing the change in Kagome's expression.

"Yes…I get it..So in other words, Inuyasha is protecting himself and me in not returning my love?" she said, affirming her thoughts.

"Yes-," she was cut off by Kagome yelling, "WHAT IF I DON'T WANT PROTECTION!"

"Kagome…" Ryann tried,

"NO, I'D RATHER BE WITH INUYASHA!" Kagome broke down into another round of tears.

Kagome….

Inuyasha heard Kagome yell this out.

I'm sorry Kagome I cant do that to you..

Inuyasha sat in the Sacred Tree, looking down at the well. He began to reminisce the first time he laid his eyes on Kagome.

He called her Kikyo….

How stupid was I? She's nothing like Kikyo..

"Kagome I'm not saying leave him. But you must give him time to open up some more." Ryann schemed.

Kagome looked up at Ryann like she just said she won the lottery.

"Ryann, thank you." Kagome wrapped her arms around Ryann's neck and smiled.

"Hey what do you expect? I'm your aunt." Ryann grinned.

They giggled as they walked back to camp, not knowing they were being watched by a little too friendly foe of Inuyasha's.

AUNT?
