Soon they were all asleep. Except for one hanyou. Inuyasha got up and stepped outside. He walked to the Sacred Tree and jumped up onto his favorite branch.
AN: Inuyasha is basically talking to himself
I can't believe I yelled at her like that. I am such a fool. BAD BAKA! BAD!
Stop beating yourself up, she forgave you right?
So what! I should have never yelled at her like that! I mean what if something happened to her and that was the very last thing I said to her? What if… what if Kagome gets killed next?
She won't. You'll protect her, and you know it. Even at the cost of your own life.
But what if I can't protect my loves life in a dangerous battle?
If you really love her you would know that you would NEVER let anything EVER happen to her
I guess you're right
I am right
I love her so much
Tell her
WHAT! I can't do that!
Why not?
What if she doesn't love me back? What if she rejects me- or loves another? How could she ever love a dirty half-breed hanyou like me?
You should know by now that she will accept you for who you are
Kikyo never did. She only wanted me to be a human
You know that every time you mention Kikyo around Kagome, you upset her.
I know, but I still love Kikyo, but I don't anymore. God dammit! I have to let go. Kikyo is a thing of the past, but she is not my future. Kagome is. I should have realized it so much earlier! I LOVE KAGOME. NOT KIKYO!
Get some sleep. Worry about it in the morning. If you want to protect Kagome then get some rest
With that Inuyasha went to sleep, all the while thinking of Kagome.
