Disclaimer: Sorry, but I don't own InuYasha. Anyone who thinks I am must really be gullable
A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys! I really love them! Keep 'em coming!
I-I love you." InuYasha said, looking at her and blushing once more.
Kagome looked at him, shocked he had said that.
InuYasha looked at her, he turned away quickly. "How could I be so stupid? Have I really gotten this soft?" He thought.
He felt two arms wrap around him and turned to see Kagome hugging him, tears in her eyes again. He hugged her back. "I told you not to cry…" He said quietly.
Kagome smiled "I love you too." She said, tears still falling down her face. She whipped them away with the back of her hand, although they kept falling.
InuYasha felt himself smile as well; wiping her tears away with the sleeve of his hiori "Kagome, I'm glad you're here." He said.
Kagome blinked in confusion "Why wouldn't I be?" She asked, not sure what he meant.
"All the times you said that you were going home because you got mad at me, I was always afraid that you'd never return." InuYasha said.
Kagome smiled "Sorry." She said, although continued to smile at that InuYasha was afraid that he would lose her.
InuYasha grinned "Don't be sorry, Kagome." He said softly.
Kagome folded her arms "Oh? Should I be thankful?" She asked.
InuYasha folded his arms as well "I didn't say that! I just said that you shouldn't be sorry." He said.
"Why shouldn't I be sorry? You said you were afraid and I was sorry for that!" Kagome said, an argument starting up again.
"But I was thanking you! You're not supposed to be sorry when someone is thanking you!" InuYasha argued back.
"Well what else did you expect me to say after you said tha-" Kagome stopped as InuYasha's mouth was pressed against hers. Her eyes widened in shock, although she soon relaxed and unfolded her arms, putting them around him in a tight embrace.
InuYasha put his arms around her again; he didn't want her to yell at him anymore. "I really am going soft… He thought as he deepened the kiss. But maybe it's ok to be soft… around Kagome that is" he thought.
Kagome grinned and reluctantly broke away from InuYasha, still speechless she just grinned at him.
"Come on, let's get back before the others wake up and wonder what's happened to us again." InuYasha said, still smiling, his face slightly pink from kissing her. He stood up and helped her up as well.
Kagome smiled, standing up. She yawned "Wow, it must be very late, or very early." She said, looking over at the moon. She was shocked to see that it was nearly gone; two days would be the new moon.
InuYasha looked at her and followed her gaze to the moon. He nodded, guessing what she was thinking about. "Yeah, stupid new moon feels like it comes more often then once a month." He said, folding his arms and his grin fading as he looked back at the ground.
Kagome started back to the camp "Why don't you like being human? It's not that bad, is it?" She asked.
"Feh, I'm strong as any normal human on that night, I'm practically defenseless against any demons." InuYasha said, walking next to her.
"No that's not it… when you first turned into a human, you weren't really that hesitant to go fight off the Spider-Heads, and you even left the Tetsusaiga." Kagome said, putting a finger against her chin as she tried to think of a possible explanation.
"Yeah, so?" InuYasha muttered, although he didn't like where this conversation was going.
"And then there's the fact that you always seem to avoid me on full moons. Although whenever I talk to you… you seem much more open to me…" Kagome mused.
InuYasha looked at her "It's nothing, alright?" He said a tad more irritable then he meant to her.
Kagome looked at him "So that means it IS something. Why can't you just tell me?" She said, looking at him and folding her arms as well.
InuYasha growled "Fine." He said, knowing that Kagome wouldn't give up any time soon. "I just don't like having so many emotions, alright?" He added.
"Emotions? InuYasha you have emotions anyways." Kagome said.
"That's not it, I'm part demon, and part human; I have half human emotions. I'm used to not having such strong feelings. But as a human, it becomes really irritating." The hanyou said.
"InuYasha, emotions aren't irritating, they can be useful. And without emotions, you'd be like you're full-demon self, you'd just be a soul without a purpose." Kagome replied, looking at InuYasha who hadn't met her gaze.
"Feh," InuYasha muttered, he looked at her but then turned away.
Kagome smiled same old InuYasha she thought, looking at him and smiling before turning back towards the camp.
InuYasha walked into the camp, making sure to keep quiet so he wouldn't wake the others. He jumped back up into the tree he was in earlier.
Kagome yawned and leaned against the tree InuYasha was in, she stared at the fire. Once more she felt herself shiver, although she guessed InuYasha was probably already asleep.
"I can't believe he kissed me… and even though it's sort of hard to believe, I know that Kitaro isn't his child, I know InuYasha too well to know that he wouldn't lie to me about something like that". She thought, sighing.
InuYasha looked down at Kagome, seeing her shiver. He jumped down next to her, pulling off his hiori and putting it around her again.
Kagome smiled "Thanks InuYasha." She said, looking at the hanyou that had now sat next to her.
InuYasha nodded "Yeah well the last thing you need is a cold, right now" He said, standing back up to jump into the tree again.
Kagome looked at his face, did she see a bit of apprehension in his eyes? She smiled and pulled him by the sleeve. InuYasha got the message and sat down next to her.
Kagome smiled "Thanks InuYasha." She said with a yawn, resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes.
InuYasha just smiled, he put his arm around Kagome and rested his head against hers, closing his eyes as well.
Kagome smiled "Told you emotions were useful." She said with a small grin as she snuggled closer to him and his warmth.
InuYasha smiled as he fell asleep next to an also-smiling Kagome. Although their smiles were soon to fade.
