Chapter 2

I Think I Love Her


Inuyasha POV

After I sat down on the blanket Kagome had pulled out, I noticed a gaze in her eye. Kind of like a dreamy stare.

I had no idea what she was so damn happy about.

I decided to look at my surroundings just in case something…unwanted…happened. There wasn't really much to see. The two of them were in a long grassy clearing, with only a few trees and a cave that you could barely see in the distance.

They had set up the picnic underneath the shade of a giant oak tree. Which was good, for the heat here was unbearable.

I looked at Kagome as she was setting out the food. Gods, every time she bent down to place a food somewhere…lets just say I didn't have much control over my hormones because I started to get that feeling.

Kagome POV

I was cautious as I set the food out, for I saw Inuyasha shift uncomfortably after I bent over to put it out. I seriously did go overboard on the food. I had brought, chips, noodles, hotdogs, salads, omelettes, eggs, and, Inuyasha's favorite, ramen noodles.

It was amusing how his eyes lit up as soon as I pulled out the noodles. And, you know what?

It never gets old.

Inuyasha POV

Ramen noodles! That was my first thought when Kagome pulled them out. The foods from her time amaze me. I mean, how can meat be made to look like it was rolled up in a long, skinny stringish type thing?...Kagome calls it a 'hot dog'…

When she stopped placing the food out she sighed and said, "So Inuyasha what do you think?"

Kagome caught me off guard and so I said, "Huh? Oh…Uh…Fine. Fine." She gave him a funny look and raised her eyebrow.

"'Fine'?" Kagome said. She scratched her head, obviously controlling the need to shout, Sit! Because of my underapprieciation.

I gulped, afraid the urge to sit me was too strong in Kagome. But to my surprise she smirked, stood up, and said in a half controlled tone, "We need firewood if we're going to eat some of this." I stood up also and nodded. "True, but where are we going to get it? The woods?" I jerked my head toward the woods I was just at. She nodded. "Probably," then she looked around, "I mean, where else is there a woods here?"

I nodded and said, "Well come on then, I'm starving." I started walking off and noticed Kagome was standing there just looking at me. I stopped and turned to face her. "What's wrong?" She looked at me and put a hand on her hip. "You don't expect me to walk all that way again…do you?"

I sighed. She wanted a ride to the forest.

Kagome POV

I was hanging onto Inuyasha's back while he ran and leapt toward the forest. He played into my trap when I said I wouldn't walk all that way back to the woods.

I smirked to myself. I always loved riding on Inuyasha, whether it be running away from something, him protecting me, or just because he was irritated at me for slowing him down…..

We reached the woods in a little while and Inuyasha gently set me down on the forest floor. "Thank you," I said to him. He nodded with a grunt and slowly looked around.

The forest was beautiful. The bright green tree leaves blocked out most of the sun making the inside of the forest cool and shady. The trees were all color filled, bright greens, earthy brown trunks, and the floor of the woods were covered with pine needles, branches that strayed away from their trees, and leaves that fell from the treetops.

We both took it all in and then looked at each other. For a second I thought I saw a glint in his eyes. I opened my mouth to say something but decided against it and closed it.

"So….where do you think the right kind of firewood would be?" I asked. Inuyasha blinked and then said, "Well let's look around and find out,"

Inuyasha POV

I started walking through the woods with Kagome. Even I had to admit… this forest was damn well beautiful! It…..reminded me of……Kagome...

I shook my head, trying to get rid of my thoughts. It was true though. Kagome was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. She had a perfect personality….. I thought to myself all the things I loved about Kagome. I actually admitted to myself...

I loved Kagome.

I truly loved her. I loved every single thing about her. I…..I even loved her more than I had loved Kikyo.

I closed my eyes as I thought of the feelings I had for Kagome. I decided not to think too much about it now. I wanted to be prepared in case something attacked unexpectedly.

There were many tree roots sticking out of the ground as Kagome and I walked through it. I of course had no problem stepping around them…..But Kagome had some problems with them. When ever there was one in front of her she would clumsily jump over it and ungracefully land.

"Uh…so," she panted as she leapt over another root, "I wanted to as- ahh!" Kagome cried out as she stumbled over a hidden over grown root. My eyes opened and I shot out and caught her in my arms before she fell.

"Are you ok?" I asked her as she looked up slowly from my chest. Kagome nodded and a small pink blush spread across her face. Gods, she looked so adorable like that.

I helped her stand up on her own feet and she smoothed out her clothes. Then she looked at me and my heart stopped. "……….Thank you…..Inuyasha," Kagome said.

Before I knew it I had closed the small distance between us by placing my lips on hers.
