Chp.7

The Balcony

"Well--- you ---see--- uhhhh" Inuyasha started rubbing the back of his head. "I'm--- uhhhh--- well at midnight of a full moon you see---"

"Come on, Inuyasha!" Kagome said grabbing both of his hands.

"I'm uhhhh descendant of---well Inu Taisho a great youkai." Inuyasha said getting more confident with every word.

"Uh-huh." Kagome breathed.

"Since I have his blood, it comes out." Inuyasha explained. "So on nights with no moon I turn full youkai and on nights with a full moon I turn full human."

"S-so th-that means you are a ha-hanyou." Kagome stuttered. Inuyasha nodded. "Which also means you aren't human."

"Kagome, I love you." Inuyasha said.

Kagome took a step back shocked. Her eye wandered searching for an answer.

"B-but my childhood love." She managed grabbing her Shikon no Tama.

"I thought you were gonna say that." Inuyasha sighed, grabbing Kagome's hand. "I gave you this when we were in 1st grade. I am Yashy the one you left 8 long years ago. You are my Kaggy."

Kagome starred into Inuyasha's eyes. Tears silently ran down her face as she spotted the truth. She reached and grabbed the bandana that covered Inuyasha's ears. Then she lifted the rosary necklace that hung around his neck.

"I-I g-gave you th-these." Kagome said through her sniffles.

"And you gave me this, too" Inuyasha said reaching for Kagome's chin.

He bent his head down and she stood on her toes. They stopped as soon as they felt each others warm breath. Then they looked into each others reassuring eyes. They finally shared the kiss that waited 8 long years.

"Take a pic!" a muffled voice whispered loudly.

"Ok, ok." Another voice said.

"You can keep them" Kagome said handing Inuyasha the things in her hands. Inuyasha them then brushed the remaining tears on her face. She grabbed his hand. "I haven't cried in 8 years. I promised myself no one could ever make me as sad as when I left you or as happy when I see you again."

Inuyasha smiled.

"Come on! You can't leave your party forever!" Kagome exclaimed pulling Inuyasha back into the mansion.

"So will you go out with me?" Inuyasha asked being dragged by Kagome.

"Of course!" Kagome giggled dragging Inuyasha.

After the party

"This is where you guys are sleepin'." Inuyasha said opening a door. Kagome gasped as she saw the huge room. It was all white and had two queen beds and two bathrooms. There was a TV and a DVD player.

"Beautiful." Kagome breathed.

"Yea." Sango agreed.

Kagome and Sango staggered into the room. Their stuff was by their beds already. They run and belly flopped on their beds.

"So soft." Kagome sighed.

"So comfortable." Sango mumbled.

"Are you guys going to sleep?" Miroku asked.

"Course not!" Kagome shouted sitting up.

"It's too early." Sango said.

"Meet you in the game room at 10:30." Inuyasha said.

"Meet you there!" Kagome said with a wink.

10:35p.m

"You're late!" Inuyasha shouted as the two girls entered the room.

"Had to change…and got lost too." Sango said whispering the last part.

"What's with the boxes and bags?" Miroku asked pointing at the stuff.

"These are for Inuyasha." Kagome said handing him most of the boxes. "Two for Sango and two for you."

"Thanks" they said as they received their gifts.

"But you can't open until X-mas." Kagome laughed.

"Ahhhh!" They all whined.

"Shut up at least I gave you somethin'." Kagome giggled as she sat next to Inuyasha and Sango next to Miroku. "Sooo… games did you have in mind."

"Truth or Dare is always fun no matter what age." Sango said.

"Ok we'll play that." Inuyasha nodded. "Ooo ya!"

"What?" Miroku said.

"Give us the pics you took of us." Kagome demanded holding out a hand.

"You know the ones on the balcony." Inuyasha said crossing his arms.

"EH! They knew." Sango gasped.

"I told you they'd find out." Miroku said reaching into his pocket and pulling out five pics. Kagome grabbed them and started laughing.

"What?' Inuyasha asked looking over at the pic. He started laughing, too leaving Miroku and Sango confused.

"What?" Miroku asked.

"How long have you guys been together?" Kagome asked showing them the pic.

It showed Miroku and Sango kissing on the balcony like Inuyasha and Kagome. Miroku turned a light pink but Sango turned blood red.

"Oh yea.' Miroku said nervously chuckling.

Flashback

"I know where a nice, quite place is." Miroku said pulling Sango.

"I don't know if I wanna be alone with you." Sango said resisting a little.

""Don't worry." Miroku said. "I just wanna tell you something."

"Ok, I'll believe you, Miroku." Sango sighed.

""Here we are." Miroku said.

Sango walked out onto the balcony. A slight breeze blew her hair. Miroku blushed and put his hand on his heart to try to quite it. He swallowed hard then slowly walked to Sango and took her hand. Sango turned to stare in Miroku's blue eyes. He sandwiched her hand with both of his. Sango blushed.

"Sango." Miroku said.

"Yah." Sango responded.

"I-I-I" Miroku stuttered trying to find the right words.

"Come on, Miroku." Sango said smiling sweetly.

"What I'm tryin' to say is---" Miroku took a deep breath. "I love you."

"B-but what about all those other girls?" Sango asked taken back.

"To get your attention." Miroku said.

"That worked." Sango whispered. "Why did you always 'touch' me?"

"I thought that you always look happier after I did it." Miroku said.

"What! Well, I---" Sango stuttered turning a dark red.

Miroku smiled warmly. Tears dropped from Sango's brown eyes as she began to smile again.

"I love you, too" Sango said.

"Then you'll go out with me, right?" Miroku asked.

Sango nodded as she wiped away her tears. Miroku wrapped his arms around her waist. Sango's arms went around his neck. They pulled into a warm loving kiss.
