Love Me

Chapter 9: Oh, to be loved by you

(Inuyasha walked Kagome to Sango's house. Sango went inside first to let them be alone. They walked over to a small little park behind a small section of woods. Hand in hand. When they arrived to the swings they sat in silence. Kagome took her shoes off and dug her toes into the sand. Inuyasha watched her. He was amazed on how beautiful she was and amazed as her feet were swallowed up into the sand the slowly seeped between her toes.)

Inuyasha: Kagome….?

Kagome: yes? Inuyasha?

(She looked up from her toes towards him as he continued to gaze at her dusty feet.)

Inuyasha: how do you feel about me?

(The question caught her off guard. She was still unsure on what it meant to love but she had thought about it, maybe she does love him. She didn't want to lie to him like she had with Miroku. He now looked at her waiting for her response. She looked at her feet in deep thought.)

Kagome: I…I don't know exactly, Inuyasha. I honestly don't.

Inuyasha: oh…ok…

Kagome: I like you…I like you a lot…I think I love you but…I don't know what love is.

Inuyasha: you don't know what love is?

(Kagome shook her head know and blushed. She lifted her head and smiled at him.)

Kagome: it's crazy, I know

Inuyasha: no its not…I can relate.

Kagome: How do you feel about me?

Inuyasha: I love you.

(She stopped breathing, hearing those words fall from his mouth so freely had sent her chills again. 'Does he mean it? How does he know what love is? Ask him! Ask him what love is!!' she kept telling herself but her mouth wouldn't move, she was frozen and still couldn't breathe. He stood up from the swing and walked over to her lifting her out of her swing.)

Kagome: o-oh…!

(She choked out. He pulled her into his arms with his hands holding her at her waist gently; he looked deep into her eyes.)

Inuyasha: Want to know how I know?

Kagome: yes

(she whispered)

Inuyasha: Every time I look at you, my heart skips a beat, it tells me that you're mine that you always were and always would be. I love every word you say and how you say it…I love your sweet smell and I love the way you kiss me. I love how you walk, how you laugh, I love every little freckle on you face. I know I love you…and you know what the funny thing is?

(She had never known or understood love and here he was telling her what it was, and she was feeling everything he described about her, about him.)

Kagome: What's that?

Inuyasha: we've only known each other for a couple of months and I already know you feel the same way…even though you don't know it.

(That did it! Tears went streaming down her face. Inuyasha wasn't sure why, he was hoping for a different reaction.)

Inuyasha: Is it something I said?

Kagome: YES! You said it all, everything I've been waiting to hear for the longest time!!

(He held her tightly in his arms as she cried. He stroked her hair. She looked up at him into his beautiful amber eyes.)

Kagome: I love you! I love you…I always will. I'll stop I'll never do it again! I only want you no one else but you day and night every second I want you by my side! I'll never go back; I'll never do it again just so that I can be around you more!

(He didn't understand what she meant by her never doing it again or go back to it…whatever it was ((she never told him about Naraku or the other guys, so he's in the dark a little here!)) but he liked the rest of it. He kissed her in the light of the moment. They kissed each other with more passion and love then it was legal ((that made no sense…plus it's so corny! I must be tired! Sorry!!)) She felt like her soul was at last at peace. They unlocked their lips and looked into each others eyes.)

Kagome: Wow….!

(She fainted in his arms. He carried her to Sango's and kissed her good bye just before she awoke.)
