Everyone was getting settled in the village after, only, a few weeks.
Shippo and Kirara were adored by so many people that they forgot that they were demons. Everyone would say, "Their just too cute to be demons!"
Miroku would do exorcisms on different houses that needed them, but Inuyasha highly doubted that the houses were actually possessed and all Miroku wanted was the stuff that the villagers would give him as thanks.
Mitsubishi would tell stories to children about his adventures with the great Inu No Tashio. It pleased him that the kids were so interested with his stories, instead of Inuyasha who would dose off when he started to talk.
Inuyasha on the other hand would be helping out the villagers, that is, if he felt like it. Mostly he'd be lifting logs or carrying crops, which was something he hated to do. Other days he would go find Kagome.
He loved leaving the village boundaries to go outside. First of all he could take off the stupid bandanna from his head, but mostly because there were no walls to keep him in and he could run wherever he wanted.
Also it was a great place for him to think, without Shippo or Miroku to bother him. All that could be heard was birds chirping and wind blowing through the branches of the Cherry Blossom Trees.
Inuyasha sighed as he lay on the branch of one of the Cherry Blossom Trees. Sometimes he thought the nature was mocking him when he was out here. Just to make sure, he held his breath and became as quiet as possible. When he did all the birds stopped chirping and the tree's branches became still.
Yep, it was mocking him.
When he started breathing again all of nature found their sound and it became noisy again. Ignoring nature, Inuyasha closed his eyes and started to think about all the things he had done, people he had seen and so on, but the one person he thought about more was Kagome.
Everywhere he went all he saw was her face. Even though he tried not to it always seemed to creep up on him. He didn't know what was wrong. Maybe Mitsubishi might know.
He shook his head. He was going to ask Mitsubishi? Ugg something must be wrong with him. Jumping off his place on the tree he walked to the village, Kagome still fresh in his mind.
Mitsubishi was working on one of his potions, in the hut that the villagers had so nicely given him, when Inuyasha walked through the door way. He was surprised to see the pup because ever since they came to this village the pup never went near him. Maybe to afraid that he would read his mind. Heh, so the pup can learn something.
"Yo Mitsubishi, I need to ask you something" Inuyasha asked.
Mitsubishi blinked before walking up to Inuyasha. Inuyasha became worried with the way Mitsubishi was looking at him but he stayed his ground.
The old man placed his hand on the hanyou's forehead, "You don't feel warm, are you sure you're feeling alright pup?"
Inuyasha pushed his hand away, "Keh, of course I am! Why would you ask such a stupid question like that?"
Mitsubishi sat back down on the wooden floor and started to stir the pot that held his potion, "You usually never come over here pup, just got me worried is all" Inuyasha snorted and sat down beside the old sorcerer. Mitsubishi lifted a furry white eyebrow, "So why are you here?"
"I want you to read my mind"
Mitsubishi's facial expression didn't shock Inuyasha in the least. His wide open mouth and wide eyes (though it's hard to think they could get any bigger) it looked as though he saw Inuyasha smile. He began to stir the pot again, "Usually you don't like me reading your mind pup, why the change?"
Inuyasha looked at the floor trying to hide his blush but to no avail, for Mitsubishi smirked when he saw it, "Cause there something I want you to find out"
Interested in where this conversation was going Mitsubishi stopped stirring and look at Inuyasha, "What do you want me to look for?" he asked smirking. He knew the answer he just loved to see the pup squirm trying to say it.
Inuyasha's blush became darker as he started to speak, "Kagome"
It was taking Mitsubishi all his willpower to hold back his smile and talk without starting to giggle, "I need more then that pup"
"My feelings for Kagome"
"You should know that by yourself"
"I know but," he stopped, "I'm confused. I've never felt this way before"
Mitsubishi nodded in understanding. He felt bad for the pup and decided not to laugh at him, for now. He placed his finger tips on Inuyasha's forehead, "Close your eyes pup, and get rid of all the barriers of your mind. If you don't remember, last time I tried your barriers were too strong for me to get through"
He nodded and closed his eyes clearing his mind, and trying his best to get rid of the barriers Mitsubishi said where there.
He could feel Mitsubishi go through his mind, going over everything; his memories, thoughts and feelings. It felt as if a weight had just been placed on his head. The sorcerer was glad that Inuyasha had his eyes closed, for he had an ear to ear grin as he went through his thoughts. "So you think I'm a smelly, annoying old man huh? After this is done I need to get my staff. Your head needs a visit"
Inuyasha winced as he thought about the pain that his head would get, but when Mitsubishi made a noise to tell him to stop moving, he went back into his sitting position.
"Ahhh," said Mitsubishi, "I see"
Inuyasha became anxious, "What? What do you see?"
The weight was gone and Mitsubishi had taken his hand off Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha opened his eyes, feeling that is was okay to do so. When he saw Mitsubishi's wide grin he scowled, "What is it old man? Tell me what you saw!"
"What did you want me to see again?" he asked, trying his best to hide his smile.
"My feelings for Kagome" said Inuyasha, trying to not hit Mitsubishi.
He placed his pointing finger on his chin, remembering what he saw in the pups mind. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Inuyasha's vein pop and smiled, "Oh yes, now I remember"
Inuyasha's ears perked up, "So, what did you see?"
Mitsubishi leaned over and whispered what he saw into one of Inuyasha's dog ears. As he talked, Inuyasha's eyes got wider and wider as he went. When he moved away from him, Mitsubishi watched as Inuyasha still downloaded what he had heard in his right ear.
"I…I do?"
Mitsubishi nodded, "Yup, I told you all that I saw. Doesn't surprise me though, and about that remark" He looked behind him to get his staff but when he turned around, Inuyasha was gone. He shook his head at the young hanyou and giggled as he did so.
It was windy out, something that rarely happens around the Demon slayers village. When it was like this, Kagome would go outside and let the wind play with her hair, like she did when she was little.
She stood on the hill that let her see as far as the eye could see. The sun was setting and the sky was colored a beautiful shade of purple and pink hues making the view even prettier. The once green grass now looked yellow and trees orange. Kagome sighed, "It's so beautiful"
She heard footsteps from behind her and when she turned around to see who it was, there was Inuyasha. "Hey Kagome"
"Hi Inuyasha, how did you find me?"
He shrugged, "I thought you'd be here"
That was a lie. He had asked Sango where she was, but it felt nice to see her smile because of that. She moved over giving some space for Inuyasha to sit down. When he sat down Kagome was looking at the sun set. Her eyes were sparking in the sun's glow and her hair was shining. Inuyasha smiled when he realized that she looked like an angel.
"Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?" asked Kagome still looking at the sun set.
"Yeah" he said, looking at Kagome.
When she noticed that he was looking at her she blushed and looked back at the sun set. He grinned and looked at the sun set with her. After a few minuets of watching the sun and birds fly across, Kagome said, "I remember when we used to do this when we where little"
He nodded, "Me too"
As they continued to talk, neither one of them noticed a perverted monk watching from behind the bushes. He was smiling and trying his best not to make a sound. "Is he going to say it?"
"Miroku!"
The monk jumped at the sudden voice of Shippo. "What are you doing here? You..." The fox kit couldn't say anything when Miroku's hand covered his mouth. "Shush! You don't want them to hear us"
Shippo blinked and looked over the bush that Miroku was hiding behind. He smiled when he saw Inuyasha and Kagome sitting beside one another. "That dog. Do you think he's going to tell her?"
"Of course he is!"
Both guys jumped at Sango's voice. "Sango, when did you come here?"
"I noticed you heading toward the forest not long after Inuyasha asked me where Kagome was. I just wanted to see if you're not bothering them" she said now watching Inuyasha and Kagome.
Miroku had an appalled look on his face, "Me? Bother them?"
Sango put her index finger in font of her lips; "Shush"
Miroku rolled his eyes and looked at his two friends, not minding that Shippo was on top of his head.
Another breeze blew threw Kagome's hair and she closed her eyes. Sighing she fell to the ground and looked up to the sky. Inuyasha saw the necklace he had given to her fall down her neck. "You never take that off do you?" he asked.
She blinked before realizing what he had asked, "When you were gone, I always wore it because it reminded me of you and I was afraid that if I took it off, I would be forgetting about you"
Inuyasha felt around his haroi looking for the clip that Kagome had given to him when she left. "Do you remember the butterfly clip you gave me?"
She nodded and sat up, "Do you still have it?"
Finally finding it he took it out and showed it to Kagome. She beamed when she saw it, "I thought you lost it." He shook his head, "No, it was the only thing that reminded me of you" He tried to give it back to her, seeing no use for it anymore but Kagome pushed it back to him. "Keep it. I gave to you as a gift"
He nodded and put the clip back into his haroi, took a deep breath and said, "Kagome, I need to tell you something" Kagome stretched her arms, "What?" she asked, still oblivious to where this conversation was heading.
"He's going to do it!" said Miroku surprised that Inuyasha could actually go through with this. Sango clasped her hands in anticipation, "Oh Kagome"
Inuyasha took another deep breath and prepared for what he was about to say, and what would happen after. "I saw Mitsubishi today," he stopped when Kagome's hand was on his forehead. He blushed, "What are you doing?"
"Checking if you're sick"
He growled and moved away from Kagome's hand, "I'm fine! Will you just let me speak?" Kagome blinked and then nodded, "Sorry"
"Feh, anyway I saw Mitsubishi and asked him something" he continued. Though Kagome still thought her idea of him being sick was true she said nothing and listened. "I asked him to go through my mind so that he could find something, a feeling. He told me that…that I…" he stuttered at the last part, too embarrassed to go on.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked worriedly.
From behind the bushes Sango was holding her breath, worried that if she breathed she would miss what Inuyasha would say. Miroku was smiling, "C'mon you Idiot. Tell her!"
"That I…" Inuyasha gulped.
'Just get this over with'
"That I…love you…" he finally said. Kagome looked like deer in headlights, completely shocked about what just happened. Did Inuyasha say that, he loved her? Her heart skipped a few beats and smiled.
'She hates me, she hates me, she hates me!' he repeated over and over in his mind when Kagome said nothing, 'Inuyasha you baka, you're so stupid for telling her! She probably just wants just to be friends'
"I love you too"
'She'll never talk to you again and…and…' his thoughts stopped when Kagome's voice entered his ears. What did she just say? He looked up at her and she was smiling. "W-what?" he asked still not sure of what she had said.
Her smile grew wider, "I love you too"
No words could express how happy he felt. It was as if everything disappeared and only Kagome was there with him. His emotions were going crazy for he was confused and happy at the same time.
Before Kagome could speak Inuyasha's mouth came crashing down on to hers. She tasted so good, better then anything he ever tasted. He wanted more, but wasn't sure that Kagome did.
Waves of emotion were spreading all over Kagome's body. She wanted to stay like this forever, in her first kiss. She wasn't sure what to do, but she was sure of one thing; she was flying.
Behind the bushes two friends left respectively, while one friend was being dragged behind leaving the new couple alone.
